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?"
they probably thought daima would have been a bigger hit than it was, my db fanatic friend says it's good but idk I don't like kid goku outside of original db, they love shoving current anime shit into the games I liked superhero but why do those two androids have to be in everything they weren't that interesting in the movie

has anyone played the breakers, its fun enough with friends but i'm not a fan of asymmetrical games
 
I've only been exposed to Breakers via youtube videos recommends me of people who actually play Breakers, and they're always huge spergs so I will not be playing it.
 
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 stopped keeping track of this garbage for like a month. What the fuck am I coming back to? Why is this retard still picking up his pen after that whole Goku debacle? Where is his confidence coming from? I don't think he should have any at all

Speaking of the garbage, they decided to once again have the Mary Sue Bra show off by making Vegeta act OOC by having him turn Super Saiyan 2 to threaten VIDEL so that Bra could threaten to kill him and to force the future vision of Piccolo telling the two to behave because they only exist because of his will or something. This is why good writers never make mystery box flash forwards without having anything in mind for how they will be resolved.
fucking joyous.
 
Mark and TeamFourStar did a collab to make this video. It's rewriting Dragon Ball Daima, but not really according to Mark. They were just 'realizing Toriyama's True Vision' here.

(Can't archive at the moment because the two websites I use for archiving is not working. Would appreciate if you folks have some others besides ghostarchive, archive.fo and archive.is)

If anybody else wants to take a look to tell people if it's actually good or retarded, go ahead. I stopped watching the moment he started talking about not removing Gomah as a villain.

There is no vision where Gomah actually works as a villain. I am sure nobody would complain if they don't get to see some jacked up giant clown as the final villain. But Mark and his dumbass team wants to.....for some reason....
 
Teamfourstar really needs to figure out they have no place rewriting anyone’s work

#1. I like Daima overall, but I kinda doubt that Toriyama was going any deeper then his usual with Dragonball. Half the fun of Daima was Toriyama's Goku returning.
#2. Fuck that "true vision" shit for your shit-ass fanfiction.

Daima wasn't this high stakes thing, it wasn't groundbreaking, it wasn't 2025's flagship anime, it was perfectly serviceable silly fun.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah that pisses me right the fuck off.
These are the same people that would chimp out if you took a Xitter artists art, drew over it and did it better, after all "it's the artists vision". Hypocritical cunts.
If you want to do what the spics do and create an infinite amount of "what-ifs" about Goku being locked in the HTC, then go ahead. But don't fucking claim it's a dead mans "true vision" with a straight face.
Video is the equivalent of those black Xitter artists that take any anime character, draw them niggerified, then claim they "fixed it."

Everyone knows that if you wanted to redo Dragonball as Toriyama's true vision, it would just be 500 chapters of a gag manga with Goku poking at literal shit with a stick.
Toriyama's mangaka career is just 'Born to shit, forced to wipe.' He's also probably the best example of the workplace culture of Mangaka and their editors, where the Buu Saga was done with the least editor oversight and it's probably the weakest and most disjointed saga as a result, despite some cool shit that happens in the Saga.

But yeah nah, fuck TFS, they've singlehandedly managed to make the entire DB community almost completely insufferable, and spread their toxic headcanons fucking everywhere. Do you know just how many people think that Goku killed Gero's son because of them? All that Toriyama said was that Gevo died to an enemy's bullet, and unless Goku pulled out a glock during the Red Ribbon arc, it's nonsense to try to say Goku did it. But that didn't stop TFS from making shit up. But even worse is the repitition of countless unfunny jokes for fifteen years straight.
It does have one use though, because it has managed to become a litmus test of people who actually didn't watch/read Dragonball and only experienced their shitty series, which makes it really easy to disregard them.

This is the same guy whose idea of making GT better (and then later on claimed it's worse than Daima because it didn't have Toriyama writing it, unironically) was -

1) Have Vegeta be the first to go Super Saiyan 4. A strange choice but interesting nonetheless. What makes it bad is that, in this GT rewrite, Vegeta reveals a new form and doesn't even fight. Baby just gets scared and then leaves

2) Skip the Super 17 saga and go straight to Omega Shenron. If you don't see the issue now, I'll get to it

3) Have Vegeta's first fight as a Super Saiyan 4 be against Shenron, but he loses. And then Goku inexplicably gets Super Saiyan 4 too....and loses. If that's bad enough, Baby just comes back to take control of Goku's body. But you see, he doesn't control Goku. He just helps him stand! No Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, by the way.

Don't believe me? Watch this for yourself.

And in one of the comment sections, you can see someone calling him out for how badly Super Saiyan 4 is treated. And instead of admitting he fucked up, he went "I should have make it longer to explain my vision!". This pretentious retard thought this was a good idea!

This is why I just have a hard time liking Mark these days, despite the numerous chances I have given him. I just can't stand this guy telling you all this garbage that he likes will make Dragon Ball so much better, when it doesn't. Same can be said for Ajay

These two retards hyped Daima to the heavens, telling everybody that this series is gonna be for you. And then they changed their tunes when it didn't deliver on these expectations that they placed.

Now one of them wants to rewrite it, but call it 'Toriyama's True Vision'. I don't think people go at Mark enough for all this garbage he spews.
 
No, you see, if you buy enough merchandise for a a property then you begin to understand the creator and their intentions even better than the creator does themself.

If that happened in the actual GT it would be relentlessly clowned on as Goku and Vegeta being jobbing losers. This is unfettered garbage, how possibly is this better? I am happy that there is a decent chunk of the comments are clowning on it.

Turns out when you look past the decades old Fandom in jokes and relying on tweaking an already existing story they are actually incompetent writers that cant create a decent original thing for their lives (see all their failed original series.)

For his faults as an author, Toriyama created a franchise that has been culturally relevant around the globe for 40 years. These piggybacking cucks will be forgotten within half a decade. The sooner the better.
 
Out of all the videos Mark made, this one takes the cake. I have already brought up what I thought of his video in the post I just linked but TLDR, its a 30 minute where majority of the time is rambling about how great and awesome Frieza is in Super before coming up with a conga line of motherfuckers holding someone's wrist and making dumb speeches, followed up by other motherfuckers interrupting to do the same thing. There's no such thing as a proper prediction or even a proper conclusion present in this video.

Full video is here
 
MoldyBagel, a channel most known for entertaining breakdowns of characters in Dragon Ball Fighterz has post a video for the first time in 2 years.
The whiplash this video caused me can be aptly described by this comment:

Probably not too relevant since it's only about what happened to this DBFZ YouTuber and what the fuck this actual, literal maniac has been going through but TL;DR:
Man took "smoke weed everyday" too seriously and now suffers from constant manic episodes, usually involving Scientology (he's an ex-Scientology due to be raised by them) where if he doesn't take his meds he'll start doing crazy shit that might end up with him in jail or worse. He doesn't remember any of these episodes but supposedly he terrorized his roommate into leaving for a few days, apparently if he doesn't take his meds which took an "American Healthcare" amount of time to get in the first place he'll go manic again in a few days. Which might happen again as he has constant auditory hallucinations of Scientologists threatening to ruin his life if he takes his meds, combined with the already existing Scientology belief of meds being bad that was hammered into his head since birth (he was born to the Church of Scientology or something).
Yeah this guy's going to kill someone.
Any gekishin kiwis?
Ultimate gohan keeps fucking up my teams
Used to play on and off, quit completely in October. Was a hell of a tank main and decent with the technical characters, but I can see this game shutting down soon from the issues that plague it so I stopped. It's Bamco, people should be used to these money grabbing games being made to turn a quit profit and tax write-off from whales. Probably has more legs to stand on than that one Gundam game...

Im having a Berenstain/Berenstein moment. Im sure there is a line in the Z Broly movie were he says "Monster? I am, the devil!" in english but instead its "what did you expect, from a true freak!?"

I know TFS made fun of the devil line but i cant find the original.

Yeah it's a bit of a Mandela effect in the English dub since he only said it in sub before the games and wherever else Vic said it:
He does say it in English but in the Speedy dub:
I think he also said he was a God in one of the Budokai games. TFS made a reference to it which reinforced the effect, though it was supposed to be a reference to the Big Green dub, Funimation dub, and original sub (Demon, Freak, and Akuma respectively).
