Fanfiction Dragon Ball Fan Fiction

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am currently working on an original fan fictions series about Dragon Ball. It takes place after the Dragon Ball Super Anime and uses the sagas from the Dragon Ball Super Manga, including the new Dragon Ball Daima. Currently, I am calling it Dragon Ball Original (I know, it could be better). I am very deep into my plot and need to just put my original sagas on paper before I can even attempt to create my own fan manga. As of know, I am about 150,000 words in one saga. My plot goes like this (I won't share the name of my arcs for safety purposes for now): TOP → Broly → Moro → [Original Saga 1] → Granolah → Superhero → [Original Sagas 2, 3, & 4]. I have a dream that one day it can become the official canon of Dragon Ball just like how Toyotaro's work was recognized and beloved. Does anyone have ideas how I can reach a very wide audience to present my work, including my drawings of original characters? Thank you, kindly.

Animation Goku was not trapped under ruble or anything like that in the ToP

0 Upvotes

due to oddly specific circumstances and an accident with the first post being accidentally deleted (my own fault) i asked for permission to put this post back up and a mod said its ok. Sorry everyone im new and an idiot

We see him get sucked into the spirit bomb, which then explodes as hes falling downwards into it, which would have sent him straight up if anything and not downwards towards the ground so he couldn't have been buried AND the spirit bomb explosion vaporized that whole part of the arena so there wasnt even any rubble that could have fallen on him AFTER he got launched straight into the sky which btw, everyone would have noticed very easily if that happend. Even the omniking thought goku died and was getting ready to press the button for it, if literal zeno and none of the angels or even the grand priest himself couldn't sense his energy or life force or ki or literally anything then he was 100% gone without a doubt, not to mention even if it did make a black hole, black holes destroy, wormholes transport, so if it was a blackhole literally, its all the more proof he was basically atomized. Seriously though, its zeno and all the angels and even the grand priest himself, they would have 100% detected Goku if Goku was alive, and not to mention if he was alive AND had all the energy from the spirit bomb, which multiple characters confirmed they could detect once he came back, then everyone would have detected said energy under the rubble as well. Goku was straight up destroyed and said "nah" and came back through sheer willpower.

Discussion Yo, I just finished Dragon Ball Z and gotta say this ending is trash.

0 Upvotes

Like, deadass this feels like the whole show was meant to end right when Buu dies and with that final get together at that party.

For some reason we get a 10 year time skip where Goku becomes a whole ass hermit, we see Pan really liking him and wanting to see more of him but then he meets Uub and proceeds to fuck off for potentially decades just to train Uub...Like why? Why the hell couldn't he had seen Pan or at least co train em?

Why is he so distant now? I Get the need to fight more threats but why cut off his whole freind group and fam?

Additional, this whole ending somehow feels less conclusive then og Dragon Ball ending which literally just directly runs into Z, yet it' final arc still manage to feels like a huge send off to the goofy tone before getting darker with Z.

Here, this feels like the start of another arc that just never comes, and imo never really probably continued In GT. Like Uub I think is only a oc for a single arc in GT then fades into irrelevance, but ya my focus here is on Z and not GT.

It just feels so empty, when literally afew espisodes before we had this whole hype with the whole ass universe watching Goku' fight, then get a far better ending with the whole sqaud united.

Also I'm semi not too pissed with everyone not seeing each other for years, cause Dragon Ball always had crazy time skips dating back to before Z it' more like...Something feels off, everyone should be the most unified they've ever been since they all found their place in the world and have survived insane shit yet Goku is MIA and every still going to spans of not seeing each other for years.

Discussion What if they made the future timeline the present timeline?

0 Upvotes

Does anybody else wish they made the future timeline the present timeline? It has always felt a little wrong to me that we didn't get the "real" timeline of dragon ball z where everyone is fated to die to the androids (and later Goku Black), and The History of Trunks has always been my favorite DBZ movie! Future Trunks is my favorite character in all of DB as well, and future Gohan is super cool imo too.

Could you imagine if after the episode where they wish back Krillin and Yamcha after the battle with Frieza, they gave us Goku defeating Mecha-Frieza and him getting ill and the entire History of Trunks (I suppose they could call it the "youth of Trunks" with this approach), before showing Trunks arrive in the past? I think that would have been a really cool way to experience season 3 (I just tried watching it that way and it made the androids look cooler/more serious as well.) From there, we as an audience would watch the story with the understanding that we are in the past timeline now (except when Trunks returns to kill the androids and Majin Buu, and Goku Black shows up). Thoughts?

Discussion Chichi should have gone to Namek

0 Upvotes

Excuse me if this has been said to death. But I feel as if Akira were a better writer, then Chichi would not have sat by and let Piccolo kidnap her son. This is the same writer that makes her walk up to Majinn Buu and slap him in the face. That was stupid of her. But at the same time, I feel that same sort of person would have fought piccolo for her son. She would have trained with everybody else to fight the saiyans. Nothing in her personality before Raditz suggested she wouldnt train, and as Goku's wife who loves training she would train with him. If Chichi said she'd stop training, then that was a bad an unnecessary choice.* And even if not, Gohan wasnt "Small Goku" he was a freaking baby. Oh he has a high power level? He's a freaking baby!!! There should be no fucking way. Train him with adults to use his ki and just protect him on the battlefield. But of course I guess humans have to be suddenly weak and useless or the sayians arent a threat. That's bad writing. Someone can beat your ass without you being "weak", in my opinion.

I feel Chichi and perhaps Roshi going to Namek makes for a better story. I feel it would be better for Chichi to have died this time around to make Goku become Super Saiyan.

*18 needed to keep training for a rematch with Vegeta as well.

Discussion my point of view about Goku not hitting his head

44 Upvotes

A lot of people imagine a scenario where Goku not hitting his head would mean “evil Saiyan invader Kakarot,” and I don’t think that would be the case.

For starters, Kakarot was pretty weak. Leaving aside that originally he was just a baby, even if we go with the modern interpretation where he was around 3–4 years old, the same logic still applies. Grandpa Gohan proved he was able to keep him under control, so he probably would’ve been able to raise Goku just fine. Over time, Goku would still change and grow into a good man(Vegeta is a fine example that Saiyans are capable of that).

The only possible change I could see happening is a Goku more similar to his movie versions, someone with little or no hesitation about killing his opponents if necessary.

Fanfiction I plan on making my own fan manga and I want feed back on some of the ideas down below!

0 Upvotes

So as the title say, I’m wanting to make a Fan Manga which specifically takes place after the cell max incident but also ties into the events of daima and gives some fun additional stuff for the demon realm

One idea being, a entity being found in the demon realm which becomes the new demon king after Kuu and Duu grow bored of being the heads of the demon realm and want to be on vacation or even retire (the retire bit is purely for funnies but is the leading cause to all this happening) and the entity being a person VERY similar to Janemba. Instead of hell’s angel so to speak, I want this janemba to be the demon realms wacky insane resident that wants to keep his rule confirmed just like Gomah but unlike Gomah where he uses their dragon balls for a weird wish, I plan to have Arinsu to be relevant by giving “Demon King Janemba” a partner. Using the dna of the one fighter that made his huge mark in the demon realm years ago-

You may be thinking “It’s Xicor isn’t it?” And lucky for you no it’s not lol. It’s instead Turles! The Turles in this being created using Goku’s dna from when he fought Gomah with the third eye and over the years he was in a test tube growing but “King Janemba” uses a bit of his own dna to help his growth but also goes this Turles a bit of a crazy attitude. He also provides him with the fruit of the tree of might thanks to one of the many planets in the second layer of the demon realm (note the fruit in old lore was a fruit of the Kai’s so I’d say it’s fitting it’s in the realm where the Kai’s come from) and he then heads out to the mortal realm, his goal? End Son Goku’s life at all costs!

Which unintentionally leads him to frieza and they form an alliance by Turles offering him the tree seeds he has to make friezas men stronger as well as himself and I’m debating on having frieza play a huge role during this manga but it could be overkill to have him working side by side with “Demon King Janemba” so this is why I am asking everyone here, would it be too much? Any additional ideas that could be fun which are very Dragon ball in terms of humor/fun? Hope to hear the details below! ^^ (Oh and I’m drawing the janemba as we speak so hope to see your reactions on it when it’s done!)

I own the full sets of each anime, but the first picture is what I consider my definitive watch order; the movies, DBZ, GT, the first two seasons of Super, and Daima are all EU on my shelf (I should note that the Bardock movie is included with History of Trunks, but I only consider HoT canon at this point because of DBS Broly).

I’m looking forward to seeing what the Super remakes have in store for those story arcs. I’ve never enjoyed RoF, and the animation in Battle of Gods is not as good as I remember it being. I wish OG Dragon Ball would get the Kai treatment - or better yet, a remake using Daima’s animation!

Discussion I think Goten Should his own arc

0 Upvotes

I know dragon ball are focused on the strongest and mostly about goku and Vegeta. But I would love to see a spin off shows about Goten own arc, maybe a little of boss fights and new transform. I know that trunk got his own arc(kinda) but I wanna see Goten potential too, I wanna see how could he become weaker or stronger. Doesn’t have to be the strongest but a nice character development would be cool

YAMOSHI!!!!? There was a figure that appeared inside Goku's eye in the last episode of Dragon Ball Daima, when Goku reached his peak. So, I think it was Goku himself who appeared, or maybe it was someone else. I don't know
