Only the tournament arc ended. Now it's the "adventure" arc or whatever the fuck the Frenchman is planning.

You know what? I'm fine with that, they should've done that years ago with the Majin Rebellion instead of just soldiering on like nothing happened.

We're in the "spikes kill half the cast offscreen" arc, where characters are cracking jokes and messing around not 6 pages since the violent deaths of Bra (the non mary sue version) Videl and Trunks.

I wonder if the frenchman isn't counting on people not waiting weeks at a time for a new page, or if he really is just that stupid.

Considering that a consistent cope is that the story is "much better" when you read it without needing to wait two months for each chapter to come out a page at a time, no he really is just that stupid. Also the most recent page has killed the same Pan that got her neck snapped for a second time, but this time completely offscreen. I don't think even the Mexicans have killed Pan in a single story as much as Salagir has at this point.
She's had her neck snapped, she's been cut in half (the ghost warrior of her with all her memories), she's been killed by Broly nuking the planet, she's been threatened with what seems to be implied rape by the evil version of her grandfather, and now she's been offscreened by spikes.

Honestly, it's kind of impressive to hate Pan this much, to the point where you'd write a story where Gohan let her fight Bojack even knowing that Pan stood no chance and it was a fight to the death.

U18 Goten and Pan lives.
U16 Trunks, Videl and Bra lives.
Saw this whole "inverse between U18 and U16" coming a mile away.

And I guarantee it's just for the following:
1. The Goten and Trunks have their "it's subtle but you really are different from my Goten/Trunks"
2. The "cross universe" Gotenks appearance

Bookmark, screenshot, photograph, print my post because it's fucking coming.

They literally already did the cross universe gotenks. Iirc half of the Gotenks that scolded Vegito was U18 Goten.

I hated that Xenoverse's scenarios were shit like "what if Raditz didn't get killed by Piccolo". Like god damn, try and be a little creative.

I love the 'what if' scenario in one of the PS2 games, where Cell has a nightmare where he absorbs Krillin by mistake, becomes a Cell Jr., and is defeated by Tien.

I saw a video on Multiverse recently. While yeah, I don't like how "I can punch hard so I can beat any hax" is a thing in canon, it is at least a consistent thing. Yet Multiverse does "Yeah, this OC can time stop without even using a lot of energy (which is how time powers are limited in most fiction)" and "This other OC can just freeze Vegito in place, but no, he won't do the same on the weaker Buu"

I predict that Piccolo will be brutally murdered in front of the crew and then next page Goku will step in the poopoo and it'll be funny

Congratulations it took you a single page to be at least half right.
The entire adventure is now literally just exploring an OC's shit.
this manga is poo.png

Who the fuck is this grampa?

That's "Old Fuck Man", testament to the French's inability to design original characters, he's the exact sort of character that literally nobody cares about or wanted to see in a fancomic where the premise is "what-if fights", and he's the main antagonist. He's not a what-if take on an existing character or anything like that, he's some sort of millions of years old cloud guy that eats people and he won every fight by cheating.
 
The design looks like the Tuffle from Plan To Eradicate The Super Saiyans.

Edit: maybe not, after having a quick refresh on that gay OVA. Still a shitty, generic design.

xenoverse just refuses to die it still gets dlc to this day for some reason after bigger db games like kakarot and sz came out. I put an ungoldy amount of hours in xv2 just to get ssgss it's a fun time waster but I'm not buying anymore asset flip dlc for a 9 year old game

It doesn't take that long to get.
Or do you mean the evolved form?

evolved and I did a most of the side quests as well, it was also fun to use it as a shitty bt3 with friends when there was no good db arena fighter on modern consoles.

I hate how bd games besides the mobile ones rarely put manga or what if shit in, rb2 was fun with the ssj3 vegeta (even though I think thats cannon now in daima idk I didn't watch), would it really be that hard to put fun what if shit like ssj nappa or something in sz, they added the mc of db legends lol

The Manga stuff is generally quite bad, especially in regard to the forms. Ultra Ego feels as if it's kept afloat by Vegetafag cope alone, nevermind the fact that Vegeta introduced his brand new UI equal form as something that makes him stronger the more he gets his ass kicked. And then he loses bad.
And then he gets one shot a little later, by Freeza. Meanwhile Goku keeps flipping between black and white hair for UI.

The Heroes What-If stuff is generally more entertaining, at least in my opinion. Give me my Kaioken Blue Vegito, my Super Saiyan 4 Vegito, my Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Gogeta and my Super Saiyan 3 Teen Gohan and Future Trunks.

I wish I saved that one meme that has Whis or Beerus bring up how it powers up by taking damage while having Vegeta in a crater. His hair just turns from blue to purple, no difference whatsoever.

I like the look of ultra ego most of the coolness factor comes from looks alone and Toyotarou does a decent enough job of that

Ever since they killed Heroes, they've basically had an open invitation to do all that shit, and the fact that Xenoverse loosely follows the plot beats of the shit that happens in Heroes but just stalled out on adding any villains beyond Fu, Towa, Mira and Demigra is pretty dogshit.Like, Fu was fun the first few times but now he's just annoying, give me the fuckin Dark Demon Realm stuff from Heroes with Super Saiyan God Xeno Trunks actually being allowed to be relevant fighting against Mechikabura or something. Give me Hearts, a villain that actually has a decent motivation in that he wants to kill the absolutely dogshit callous gods that do things like say, hinging the existence of reality on whether a tournament amuses them or not. Or even give me Aeos, the former Supreme Kai of Time that feels the need to take matters into her own hands because Chronoa is a perpetual fuckup. Give me the real ridiculous shit like Super Saiyan Rose 3 Full Power Goku Black.

I feel like Daima's existence and interpretation of the Demon Realm is the thing that killed Heroes above anything else.
The Sparking Zero devs must've seen how hyped the Gohan Black What-If got everyone, and then went "haha, but what if we added the little girl from Daima that never fights?"
