SSJ2 Your Nick was saying:
doubt multiversal travel or erasure or anything crazy like that would be anywhere near within Porunga's power
So, if this Porunga is a denizen of U1, he should be able to grant traversal to someone.
That would have been a great twist. XXI makes that wish and Porunga replies that it is not within his power, because he is not U1 Porunga

I hope there's a button to bring Zen back. I hate how he was just written out.

Also the comic is called dragon ball multiverse not dragon ball multiverse tournament so it may have been extremely short sighted of any of us to believe the tournament would be the end lol. Imagine if this is just the first arc lol

Nobody thought this the tournament was going to end it, not since Bardock's vision. It was always clear that the biggest fight would be a real fight, life and death, and probably a many v 1
Even if it's Vegito vs Gogeta, Bra and Gast are strong enough to contribute. Gohan thinks he is, but we all know how that goes.
iron leaf was saying:
Just as most people suspected. XXI simply steps forward and makes his wish while everyone else is distracted. It's so impressive to see how XXI's plan worked out. Vegetto and Gast actually fell for the distraction. And XXI can make his wish “at his leisure” thanks to the distraction of his allies.
I mean, part of XXI's plan was the black Senzu, and that absolutely wasn't impressive.
The only cool thing XXI was part of was his fight vs Gast
Mann, DBM/etc hates Gohan so much lol.
U18/16 is the only universe he found happiness in.

Majin Wasabi was saying:
If Vegetto, Gast, Goku, or anyone else lets 17 or Frieza actually launch their attack, then I don’t know what kind of 'guard duty' they think they’re doing — they could stop them before they even finish charging. In fact, Vegetto shouldn’t have even let Frieza lift a finger, considering he already had them in his sights last page.
The plan probably is that Gast or someone will probably man-handle these weaklings
And then Mista Senzu Black shows up and handles the handler 1 Replie(s)
This just all feels hopeless. No fighter here can counter XXI. I feel he had ways to one-shot Gast, especially now, but he wanted to eat him.
Uub might be useful, but that seems a little stretched, going from non-magic to Wizard tier, off screen.
Maybe they'll push a button and bring Zen back. We all miss Zen

This, Z-Goku, around this same time, based on Gohan's age, realized that he'd need to pass the torch.
It makes sense that a dead Goku would absolutely be thinking that way.
Why would he be thinking of passing the torch while his son has been kidnapped by genocidal space warriors and Earth's Guardian is dead?

personally, I'm not bothered that Goku lost. Goku has nothing in his toolkit to fight magic. It's just bothersome that there was no fight.

CraneDisciple was saying:
I think Android 16 will push for a disqualification on the assumption that XXI had outside help. Let's play it out:
16, South Kai, and Piccolo know XXI used the I.K.L. ability.
South Kai will have to admit he received powers from I.K.L. Will assert XXI must have done the same.
I don't know if XXI planned on being confronted. On the one hand this seems a lot like his certain victory, so an instant revive and rematch leaves XXI at a disadvantage. On the other hand, here's a very distracting situation that also unlocks the universe with the dragon balls.
I'm feeling optimistic that we're nowhere near done yet.

Outside help has been okay, as long as it occurs outside the ring. The best example would be Zen Buu fixing Uub's arm.
Zen helped almost everyone but that may not be known
Buu also absorbed an opponent and his armor and was allowed to keep him.
Except for his fight against Piccolo, XXI is always boring.
It is disappointing to see this be a one-shot, even if it's not the end of the story.

The best motivation for Vegito was when Gast floored him and they all lectured on something he was right about
Obviously people are being facetious, but this definitely isn't over.
Goku had no business defeating XXI, but seeing a fight would have been cool.

I like this, but for one caveat.
Raditz was doing good work here, so he should have been at full power.

I didn't even have an opinion of Sayazur until he got spiteful. I didn't care for what he was doing to my favorite universe, but that's well known and was entirely constructive until that point. Afterwards, I did lob some sarcasm back.
Damian Qualshy was saying:
And if you want to act smart, at least get your facts straight. It was Jason Todd. It was also a hundred years ago and Jason wasn't even a good Robin, get over it.
And honestly, the incident gave Batman a lot of dimensions to grow.
— The irresponsibility of towing a kid around
— The failure of not saving him
— The failure of allowing a monster to escalate
And later
— The responsibility of indirectly creating Red Hood
— The reflective critique that he is of Batman.
So in other words, DC heard criticism, and grew from it. Robin dying is one of the best things to happen to Batman.
Criticism (from his editor) is also how we got 17, 18, and Cell (and 16)

Pretty sure Mega Buu in the canon chapter said he was stronger than Broly.
This Buu or Gogeta absolutely could have Mafuba'd Broly, but Mafuba is boring.
Carbonite can be cool if it comes as a surprise. It worked because it was introduced in a way that didn't imply it was going to be used against that Broly until it was. It was kinda cool that Bra avoided it, but it was annoying how Bra avoided everything.
Demon spit is boring, because if Dabura shows up, you know why he's there. You have to find a way to introduce it as a surprise. Example: He's absorbed into Buu before the fight starts and Buu ejects him at a surprise moment.
Anyway, ignoring the easy solutions sucks, that's why you have to write around them.
Yes, DB has always ignored the obvious solutions, and it's annoying for that. Saiyans want a fight.

I wouldn't say he pushed him, just affect him. It took everything he had to hold him at bay for a few minutes, but that's a feat. That probably makes him strong enough to solo Frieza.
Piccolo fought even with 17 for a little bit, it's not hard to imagine Tien being like 20% as strong.
Kikoho was basically Tien's Kaioken or Self-Destruct. Pushed his power well above his max, and then was immediately worn out.
Even not immediately dying to Cell Jrs is a decent accomplishment for how the story neglects them. It's sad that it's literally all we have because they were so sidelined.

I'm not sure who came up with psychological shocks but it's so poorly defined. Broly is pure crazy.
There's only two things that might be a psychological shock to Broly--Paragus returning, and maybe if he killed Kakkarot.

In DBZ, Goku used the best tools available to him. We all know DBS has weak writing.
And since the Buumobile lost to Broly, they knew none of their individual attacks wouldn't work, regardless of training.
So the best strength strategy is Buumobile with every fighters and as many fusions as possible, good and evil.
An even better strategy for Buu to absorb the magic users too

This makes for more sense than the main comic. Main comic ignores that Broly is mortal completely.
In one universe in the main comic, Broly was turned to carbonite.
Besides that, and this, nobody has ever tried things other than punches and ki. Zen Buu could probably take him.
Mafuba similarly gets ignored in DB and DBM, so do the dragons, because (just like this), it's an easy solution and hard to develop a comic around.
Proper stories just need to give reasons why they're not being used. DB is guilty of not doing that, all the time.
For instance. "Two dead souls can't fuse. At least one has to be living" and then you get rid of the easy solution of fusing.

Are the main mods even involved in this side hustle?
So, every universe where fought Broly as Mega Buu (the DBM story, not this) started as the same universe (universe 20). In most, Salagir says. It deviated there to "two paths", Universe "21" where Broly died, and 20, where Broly survived.
It's the same thing now. They started this fight and the fight could have gone several ways. Consider those universes like 20, 20.1, 20.2, 20.3...
In this one, Broly wins, in another, Broly one shots Vegeta and wins without a Gogeta, in another, Vegeta is killed and Gohan and Goku fuse. In another, they start the fight fused. (These are all examples)
Tldr: It should say "deviations from universe 20"

I'm okay with the ice change. It's not perfect but it's no big deal. It's better than tearing at the immaterial fabric of space.
Some people have an issue with the art, which I understand.
The bigger issue is just characters making impossibly wrong choices, Plan B, which they'd devised before the fight, was infinitely better than Plan A.
There's no universe where the Z Fighters make these choices.

Aside from the last two, you're retrofitting to the initial introductions of each transformation. Goku got SS2 the same way he got SS3. Vegeta has gotten all of his transformations out of jealousy.

@Zen Kuu, Good points about U18/16 taking the Broly fight immediately serious.
Vegito understood that nobody there stood a chance, so he immediately saved Goku by distracting Broly.

People talk about mirroring all the time, and I get it.
Mirroring is a great tool for outlines. It can also work if you're going to obstruct part of the character behind someone else.
You can also mirror and then edit the result, which a lot of artists do. It's even useful to start from there if you're not naturally good at consistent proportions
Saiyan armor is symmetrical, but a saiyan body is only symmetrical in shape, it shouldn't be a perfect mirror on the page.
Buu's clothing is symmetrical but you'd never draw it symmetrical on him (wrinkles and all). It would stand out like a sore thumb 1 Replie(s)

I'll just leave some advice.
If this were your own story, with your own characters, you can make characters make poor choices, and people won't be so bothered. Although, if your characters have a super tool, like fusion, and don't use it ASAP, it will still get criticized when it comes up later.
Sidenote, this is why DBM Broly is so criticized in a story that is otherwise well liked. He's not a deviation, or an evolution, he's a boring overhaul, worse than the movie's creation.
But we know who this crew is, we know all the power and strategy available to them, and they approached the fight with no strategy. The year they had changed nothing at all, except for SS3 Vegeta.
If you're excluding great strategy, or including bad strategy (Raditz and Nappa), people will react

So, I think this confirms that the lie Thorn was talking about was that Gero did not kill Gohan. He turned him into an android. Before people thought the lie was that they were able to kill a cyborg, but Krillin confirms here that he did indeed kill one (somehow lol, guessing Kienzan).
That's been obvious, it's by far the best way to add weight to this story
And Gobot would be the only thing that Gast might have (emotional) trouble against. And Gobot might keep his rage mechanic.
Or they were already forced to kill him, being the one they killed.

so...the gang made things worse by doing something?
never mind the idea of just letting brolly burn through his life force with lssj, they had like what...10-15 years of mayhem?
just let him run his course and then use porunge and moori who are sitting in otherworld alive and waiting for brolly to die, they summon porunga when he is dead and just reset everything with the exception of brolly
even if brolly breaks the ice barrier that way, he already did so in this example.
I'm not a fan of the outcome or how anyone is portrayed, and I don't care what sal did with u20

Of course, the characters probably didn't know about Broly's lifespan.
The biggest problem, as I've always said, is that Broly defeated a character far more powerful than any of them, MegaBuu v1, and their Plan A was just to jump him all together. Plan B was incomparably better.
They also know that Broly defeated a Black Hole lol.
Plan C, unseen, was the best. Buu absorb Gogeta as well. And Janemba when he shows up. By golly, I bet he'd be almost as powerful as fatigued Vegito (lol)
And these characters aren't stupid. They're identical to Z fighters, except that Broly missed the sun. We can tell, since Uub and Buu are there.
Team power never works in Dragonball directly. It always has to be combined in one person. (Fusion, Spirit Bomb, Broly Movie)
A team did beat a worn-down Vegeta.
Vegeta helped vs cell, but Cell was struggling v Gohan, Vegeta offered a distraction.
In Father/Son Kamehameha, it was more morale boosting. Goku didn't actually contribute to it. 1 Replie(s)

I know about that. That's still before this.
The two stories are essentially the same basic thing. They tell the last events of U20 before the tournament. Both are an all-out battle in which they lose.
So yes, DBM DID do their version of this story.
Mustard was saying:
Yeah, this is the problem with trying to write a story where the ending is already decided. I assume this is why there's not a DBM canon version of this story.
There literally is. https://w...&chapter=80
In it, the characters are ambushed and put together the best possible plan they can in the moment.
Also, lots of prequel stories tell a story where the basic ending is already known, like the Star Wars prequels. They aren't perfect, sure, but there's a great thread in there about the tragedy of it all. 1 Replie(s)

There's no way Broly would survive even that.
But this makes me wanna see the original story even more. The author mentioned his belief that it will never come to light. I hope the community would band together to collab and help him instead, if that were really the case.

I know he said it, but I think it's a myth. No one made him tell the story this way. Maybe DBM objected to some planned plot point (I doubt it), but it still doesn't explain the disjointed plot events.
I think Uub had one line, Bojack too (who cares), Janemba was a distraction. Raditz and Nappa got more screentime than almost everyone, but the final three fighters.
It genuinely feels like, much like Chibi Son Bra, each page was mostly just what he felt like drawing next, which is part of why we never saw Gogeta and Buu attacking together.
It's a sad thing, the chance at Buunemba could have been cool. This always could have branched to a sub-branch of U20. 2 Replie(s)

I'm having some trouble feeling any tension in this story, Gast can and will decimate everything they can throw at him, nobody else stands a chance.
This Cell might be, but shouldn't be, as strong as Super Perfect Cell, but even that is nothing against an SS3 tier fighter
The only thing I'm waiting for is the reveal of the lie, and expecting a Gohan reveal--which are probably related.
Inb4 Cell is built on Gohan
gaunter o dimm was saying:
I dont know if you guys have eyes or what, but Broly going back to base would naturally have reset his power to below Super Saiyan 1 Vegito once again.
Of the myriad problems this story has, dropping Broly to base solves that problem.

SuperSaiyan4Vegetto was saying:
...Look there are things about this story that I didn't like, I'll grant you but this is not "Plot-convenient". Gogeta didn't win...
It isn't plot convenient. Plot convenient usually involves plot armor or a deus ex machina.
But their strongest fighter didn't show up til two or three decent strength fighters were already obliterated. They waited forty pages, maybe fifty, to apply any actual strategy. Once they used strategy, Vegito and Buu would each be absent or motionless for several pages.
When you're moving at FTL speeds, a half hour lasts forever. A comic can get two panels from a half hour, or a hundred pages. Look how long five minutes last on Namek.
If you want the fight without a strategy, start it with an ambush. Broly breaks into Other world and one-shots Gohan or Vegeta, or maybe Goku. That would have been cool, we could have seen a new fusion.
If you want to avoid fusion, say that two dead fighters can't fuse. For absorption, there are a few ways to not have Buu here.
If you want to start a planned fight, then they should have been fused and absorbed before Kai transported Broly.
All Broly is, is a big number. He's infinity. So you have to be creative and smart if you want to take him down, and maybe use characters with magic like Mafuba or Dabura's spit.
So, presumably, this causes a cataclysmic destruction of everything in existence
Broly survives it. And people thought surviving the supermassive black hole was absurd (it was)
I held out hope that this would be like U20.001 where they eked out a surprise win.
Instead, they picked a fight without a strategy against an enemy they were terrified of.
At least their willful ignorance didn't pay off, that would actually be worse
This Gogeta was based on a fusion of Goku and Vegeta with like 11 more years to train, the last year being very serious.
In DBM, the same is true, and that Goku/Vegeta have SS0, and both the component fighters are alive, since Vegito seems affected by a dead Vegeta.
Gogeta in DBM should decimate Vegito, on speed alone.

I don’t think the fanboys expecting Gogeta in Dragon Ball M realize how badly he’d get destroyed by Vegito, lol. At this point, it’s pretty much obvious that Gogeta won’t even appear in the main story because the power gap is just too big.

Yeah, Buu absorbing Broly made no sense towards weakening him.
Buu bunding Broly (like a rope) might have had some value.
It's questionable how absorbed Broly was. It seems like Buu was barely more than a layer of goo over Broly. They didn't want to absorb him, because he'd truly be the dominant force and absolutely unstoppable. 1 Replie(s)

Jblaze94 was saying: This comic is a fever dream, why didn't ss3 Gogeta just beat Broly when he had the chance?? Instead Janemba shows up for 2 seconds and Gogeta sat by and did nothing.
Usually the answer is 'because he didn't have a chance'. As flawed as this comic is, there really are instances I feel warrant an answer, like that of mine.

Double-dead horse, but they had plenty of chances and time.
There are things writers need to do if they want to avoid obvious solutions.
Instead of "Let's not fuse," you can say that neither/either fusion doesn't work if both people are dead.
Same for absorption, or just make Buu not be here at all.
If you really want them to abandon any plan, use an ambush. Broly tore a dimensional hole open, or punched through the Ice Barrier. In his ambush, have him double-kill Gohan or something. Rip off Bardock's Vegito vision lol
it's a reasonable question. Every other character in the last two pages is decently drawn, but Kai is "phoned in" both times.
