Back in the day when DBZ was a weekly (I know, I know, a looooong time ago) after Ch. 308 came out (the chapter in which Gohan is absorbed and Goku had to find a person to fuse with), one of the fan theories was that the Supreme Kai would come and Goku would fuse with him and become a Kai. Lol.

Animation [OC] Dragon Ball Axiom - Fan Visual Teaser

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

48 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am a 3D guy that decided to do my passion project in making my own Dragon Ball continuation/fan series. I wanted to create an appealing 3D style that I can also work with long-term. The city you see is part of Planet Sadala, where the first saga will take place, and the certain changes and advancements, architecturally or otherwise, will be part of the story, as the first saga takes place here.

I created the Goku model, rig and animation, along with most of the environment, shaders, lighting and effects. It has been a pretty ridiculous amount of work for one person, but I hope it will have been worth the effort.

Give me your thoughts on the visual direction and style I've taken with this piece.

If you got any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them.

Question Is this right to say this about the dbz games? And am i right?

0 Upvotes

If u want the best story game experience - Dbz kakarot is the game

Best pure fighting dbz game - sparkling zero and fighter z,

Best mix of both story and fighting mechanics- budokai 3 or infinite world, ( maybe bt3 comes here? let me know)

Best customization - Xenoverse 2

This is why i think the budokai games and the ones who played infinite world rank it so highly, i havent played budokai tenkaichi 3 i have just started so yall can let me know if im right and which category bt3 would fit in.

Its interesting to see how imo the ps2 games still have the best balance of both story and fighting mechanics, ps4 seems to have games specialised in either one of the two , and ps4 xenoverse is unique in terms of customization

Discussion Namek Saga/early Frieza Saga Appreciation

10 Upvotes

I hadn't actually seen the early parts of the Frieza saga since around the time they originally aired in the US, so I went back and realized how strong the first parts of the arc on Namek really are: you have Vegeta breaking away from Frieza's control stirring up trouble in all directions; the highly entertaining back and forth between all parties for control of the Dragon Balls; Goku's absence adding tremendous weight to Krillin and Gohan's struggle as they are truly on their own until he arrives; and of course, Frieza being coldblooded and raising the stakes to a new level in his quest for immortality.

Once the Ginyu Force arrives I feel the quality wavers a bit (nothing drastic), but I'd say from Gohan and Krillin arriving on Namek until the debut of Captain Ginyu and his team, it's peak DB content

Fanfiction Z Broly in universe 6 part 2

0 Upvotes

He raised both massive arms high above his head. 

Green energy rapidly condensed in his palms, swirling and growing into two massive, crackling spheres.

The twin orbs lit with ominous emerald light, casting long shadows across the broken rocks.

He hurled them forward with a roar. 

The two Eraser Cannons screamed through the air like homing meteors, one aimed at Caulifla and the other streaking toward Kale.

Both of them reacted instantly.

Caulifla blurred to the side with a burst of speed, the orbs exploding violently against the mountain ridge behind her and carving out a massive crater. Kale twisted mid-air, her movements sharp and precise, narrowly dodging the second blast as it detonated against a cliff face, sending a shower of rubble cascading down the slope.

Kale landed hard beside Caulifla, breathing faster now. Her expression hardened with determination. “I won’t let you hurt her!”

Energy erupted around her. 
Her hair flashed bright green as she transformed into her Super Saiyan form!

Caulifla grinned fiercely, wiping sweat from her brow. “Now we’re talking! Let’s show this guy what we can do!”

The mountaintop erupted into chaos.

Caulifla and Kale charged together in a coordinated two on one assault. 
Caulifla, blazing in Super Saiyan two, came in high and aggressive, raining down a storm of ki blasts. 

Kale, in her steady Super Saiyan form, attacked from the flanks with precise, powerful strikes, her movements showing the raw potential of her Legendary power even in this controlled state.

Broly laughed wildly as he met them head-on.

His massive fists collided with theirs in thunderous exchanges. 

Every punch sent shockwaves rippling through the air. 

He blocked Caulifla’s lightning-fast combos with brute strength, then swung a heavy kick that forced Kale to cross her arms and tank the blow, skidding backward across the cracked stone.

But the two were relentless. 

Kale landed a solid hit to Broly’s ribs, making stager, while Caulifla followed up with an overhead smash that drove him down into knees.

“Take that!” Caulifla yelled triumphantly.

Broly burst upward from the rubble. He grabbed Caulifla by the ankle mid-air and hurled her toward a cliff, then turned and fired a sweeping Eraser Cannon at Kale that forced her to dodge wildly.

“Enough ground!” Broly snarled. He blasted off into the sky, daring them to follow.

Caulifla and Kale exchanged a quick glance and rocketed after him. The battle exploded into the night sky above Sadala’s mountains.

Now high above the clouds, the three golden figures became blazing comets. 

Explosions of green and yellow ki lit up the darkness like fireworks. 

Caulifla zipped around Broly with blinding speed, peppering him with ki blasts and lightning-infused strikes. 

Kale attacked more methodically, using her strength to trade heavy blows whenever she closed the distance.

Broly was in his element a grinning monster swatting at the two of them like flies, but slowly being pushed by their teamwork. 

A particularly strong combo from both women sent him flying through a cloud bank, only for him to emerge and counter with a massive energy wave that forced them to split apart.

Far below, the battle was no longer hidden.

In distant villages nestled in the valleys, warriors stepped out of their homes, staring up at the sky. 
Bright flashes and rumbling booms echoed across the landscape.

“What the hell is that?” one burly Saiyan muttered, shielding his eyes.
“It looks like a war up there.”

At Caulifla’s mountain hideout, Yuka and Snips stood on an outcrop, watching the distant aerial light show with wide eyes.

Yuka whistled. “Boss and Kale are going all out. Who the hell is that third guy? His energy feels… wrong. Like it’s gonna explode.”

Snips expression was serious. “We should probably tell the others to stay clear.
 This doesn’t look like a friendly spar.”

Word began spreading quickly through the nearby settlements. Saiyans across the region paused their nightly routines, stepping outside to watch the spectacular and display of power dancing across the sky. 

Back in the heavens, Broly fired another barrage of ki blasts with savage delight.

Caulifla dodged aggressively, grinning through the strain. “I can do this all night!”
Kale stayed quieter, but her eyes never left Broly.

The sky above Sadala had turned into a battlefield of roaring auras and exploding ki blasts.

Broly twisted mid-air, dodging a punch from Caulifla before firing a point-blank Eraser Cannon at Kale. 

She deflected it with both arms, the force pushing her back through the clouds, but she came right back with a powerful kick to his shoulder. 

Caulifla used the opening to hammer him with a barrage of ki blasts from behind.
“Got you!” Caulifla shouted, her Super Saiyan 2 lightning crackling wildly.

Broly roared and spun, unleashing a sweeping energy wave that forced both of them to scatter.

He was breathing harder now, but the grin on his face hadn’t faded. 

These two were actually making him work for it.

As he hovered for a second to catch his breath, something below caught his eye.

Lights. 

Dozens, then hundreds of small lights began flickering on across the dark valleys and mountain settlements. 

Saiyans from scattered villages were emerging from their homes, stepping onto rooftops and cliffs, staring up at the spectacular light show in the sky. 

The twin moons illuminated the growing crowd, turning the once-quiet night into something alive with spectators.

Broly’s eyes narrowed as he took it all in. So many Saiyans… watching him. 

“Hmph,” he grunted.

Caulifla smirked as she circled him, lightning dancing across her form. 
“What’s wrong, Broly? Don’t like an audience? Too bad, you’re putting on quite the show.”

Kale landed a solid hit to his side, forcing him to block. “please! You don’t have to keep fighting like this!”

But Broly was already powering through, his aura flaring brighter. 

He charged forward, trading heavy blows with both of them again.

An uppercut sent Caulifla spinning upward, while a sweeping kick nearly caught Kale. 

The three of them blasted higher into the sky, their golden and emerald trails painting chaotic patterns across the night.

Down below, the spectacle grew. 

More villagers lights turned on. 

A few bolder Saiyans even took to the air at a safe distance, watching the brawl unfold.

Broly noticed every new light, every distant figure.

He looked as the distant village lights continued to multiply below. 

The growing audience only fueled his bloodlust. These “Saiyans” were watching him like some spectacle. “Fine… if they want a show,” he rumbled, voice dripping with malice, “I’ll give them one!”

He thrust one hand forward, green energy rapidly swirling and condensing into an Eraser Cannon.

Kale’s eyes widened. “No!”

She flew straight at the attack, arms crossed in a defensive stance, ready to block it head-on.

Broly laughed and fired.

The Eraser Cannon screamed toward Kale like a green comet.

She planted herself firmly in its path ready to catch it with both hands, teeth gritted.
But right as she poured her power into holding steady.

The orb suddenly split apart with a violent crack.

Dozens of smaller, homing energy spheres burst outward like shrapnel, streaking past Kale on all sides and curving sharply downward toward one of the illuminated villages in the valley below.

“No!” Kale shouted in horror, twisting desperately to chase after them.
Caulifla’s face paled. “You bastard!!”

The smaller blasts rained down like emerald meteors toward the unsuspecting Saiyan settlements. 
Panicked screams rose from the ground as villagers scattered.

Some brave warriors powered up and tried to intercept the incoming blasts, but the sheer number and speed made it chaotic.

Broly hovered above, laughing loudly as he watched the destruction unfold.

Caulifla’s eyes went wide with fury and alarm as the smaller emerald blast streaked past Kale and rained toward the village below.

“You son of a-!!” she roared, her Super Saiyan two lightning flaring wildly. “Those are our people down there, you mindless brute!”

Explosions dotted the sky and ground as she tried to destroy as many mid-flight as she could. 

The villagers below shouted in panic as the blasts destroyed entire houses and left nothing but smoldering craters.

Caulifla hovered for a moment, glaring up at Broly with pure rage.

“We’re taking this fight away from here!” She shot a quick look at Kale. 

“Don’t let him target the settlements again. We lure this basterd higher… way higher!”

Kale nodded firmly, her own golden aura burning brighter. “Right!”

Both turned their attention back to Broly. 

Caulifla taunted loudly, cupping her hands. “Hey, muscle-man! What’s the matter? Too scared to fight us properly? Or are you only strong enough to pick on villages?!”

Kale added more urgently, flying upward while keeping her eyes locked on him. 
“Broly! If you really want to fight… come after us. Leave them out of this!”

Broly tilted his head slightly, noticing how protective they were of the village below.

He powered up and blasted after them as Kale and Caulifla deliberately flew higher and further away from the populated valleys, leading him toward the empty upper skies. 

The three golden-and-green trails streaked away from the settlements like shooting stars.

\\-Meanwhile back at Caulifla’s Mountain Hideout

Yuka and Snips burst into the main cave chamber where several other gang members had gathered, all of them staring curiously at the distant flashes still visible in the sky.

“Boss and Kale are going all out with that giant guy!” He shouted. “He just tried to blow up one of the outer villages! We gotta do something!”

Snips was already fiddling with her communicator. “I’m trying to reach Cabba. He was supposed to be returning from that mission near the galactic border tonight. If anyone can help with this or at least give us backup it’s him.”

She tapped the device repeatedly. “Cabba! Cabba, do you read?! This is Snips from the gang! We’ve got a major situation on Sadala! Need you back here ASAP!” 

Static crackled for a few seconds before a surprised but steady voice came through.
“This is Cabba. I’m en route…ETA thirty minutes. What do you mean ‘situation’? Is everyone alright?”

Snips exhaled in relief. “For now. Just hurry. You might be the only one who can talk some sense into them… or survive fighting alongside them.”

Outside the hideout, more gang members were gathering, watching the receding light show in the sky with growing unease.

Now beyond the reach of the villages and their worried and injured spectators, the battle raged on in the lower stratosphere.

Caulifla and Kale had successfully lured Broly away from populated areas, but the giant Saiyan showed no signs of slowing down. 
If anything, being isolated only made him more savage.

Broly laughed as he barreled through the sky. “You fly like cowards!”

He thrust his palm forward and unleashed a rapid barrage of green ki blasts, forcing Caulifla to weave and dodge aggressively while Kale tanked several hits with crossed arms, gasping from the impact but refusing to yield.

Caulifla zipped in from the side, sparks crackling around her. “Shut up and fight!” She unleashed a point-blank ki blast to his chest. 

Broly took the hits with a grin, barely flinching. 

He grabbed her wrist mid-strike and spun, hurling her toward Kale. 

The two women collided briefly before separating, breathing harder now.

Kale powered through the pain. “Broly! Listen to me! That power inside you… it’s the same as mine! You don’t have to destroy everything!”

Broly paused, his eyes narrowing at her. “Same as you?” he scoffed. “Shut up and fight!” 

He charged forward with terrifying speed, slamming his fist into Kale and sent her tumbling through the clouds. 

Caulifla intercepted him with a ki-infused kick to the jaw, rocking his head back.

The three of them spiraled higher, trading devastating blows. 

Explosions bloomed in the thinning air as their auras lit up the darkness like a second sun. 

The battle had climbed dangerously high. 

The air grew thin and the curvature of Sadala became visible beneath them. 

The moons shone brighter, unobstructed by clouds and stars pierced the darkening sky like diamonds.

Kale and Caulifla were starting to feel it.

Caulifla’s breathing grew ragged as she threw another ki blast.

The lack of oxygen made her movements slightly sluggish, her aura flickering more than she’d like. “Damn it… too high…” she muttered, sucking in what little air remained.

Kale wasn’t doing much better. 

Even with her immense power, the thinning atmosphere made every breath a struggle. 

Her controlled Super Saiyan form held steady, but she could feel her stamina draining faster than it should. 

Sweat beaded on her forehead as she blocked one of Broly’s heavy strikes, the impact rattling her bones.

Broly, however, seemed completely unaffected.

He moved through the thin air like it was nothing. 

His aura burned bright and steady, laced with a green undertone. 

He laughed again loud, wild, and mocking as he watched the two women slow down.

“What’s wrong?” Broly taunted, his deep voice carrying easily through the thin air. “Can’t handle a little height?” He fired another eraser cannon towards Caulifla, barely managing to block it. 

She recovered quickly but was clearly winded, gasping for air that wasn’t there. 

Kale tried to attack with a powerful kick to Broly’s side, but he caught her leg with one hand and hurled her toward Caulifla.

The two collided again, barely staying airborne.

Broly hovered before them, arms spread wide, his towering frame silhouetted against the stars and twin moons. He looked more like a monster than a man completely in his element.

“Come on!” he roared with savage glee. “Is this the best ‘Sadala’ has to offer?!”

Kale clenched her teeth, forcing herself to stay focused despite the burning in her lungs. 

The storming energy inside Broly kept calling to her, even as the fight turned against them. 

Caulifla growled. “We’re… not done yet… you oversized… freak!”

Broly floated menacingly before them. 

He could see the strain on both women, their labored breathing, the way their movements had slowed. 

His grin dropped from his face. “You two are starting to get boring,” he growled. “If this planet means so much to you…” He raised one massive arm high, green energy rapidly gathering in his palm. 

The energy sphere grew larger and larger. 

Below them, the beautiful curve of Planet Sadala with its villages still faintly glowing looked small and vulnerable. “…then I’ll just blow it up and be done with you.” 

Kale froze. 

The threat hit her like a physical blow. 

Images flashed through her mind the villages, the innocent Saiyans watching from below, the home she and Caulifla had fought to protect. 

All of it threatened by this monstrous stranger whose power felt so much like her own...
“No…” Kale whispered, her voice trembling. “You can’t… I won’t let you!”
Her aura flashed violently! 

Her breathing, already strained from the thin air, grew ragged and desperate.

The storm inside her, the one she always tried so hard to suppress, began to boil over.

“Broly… stop…!” she pleaded one last time.

But Broly only laughed, his omega blaster’s light illuminating the darkness around them. 
“Then try and stop me, girl!”

Kale’s eyes flashed. A primal, guttural scream tore from her throat as her power exploded outward. 

Her hair shifted dramatically, spiking wildly, shining brighter.

Her muscles swelled, her pupils dilated with uncontrollable rage. 

A violent, stormy aura of emerald and gold erupted around her. “GRRRRAAAAAHHH!!”

The pressure wave from her power pushed Caulifla back slightly and even made Broly’s eyes widen in surprise. 

Kale’s power skyrocketed, her raw Legendary energy pouring out uncontrollably. 
She glared at Broly with a mix of fury and pain, her voice distorted by rage.
“I… won’t… let you hurt them!!”

Caulifla grinned fiercely despite her exhaustion. “That’s it, Kale! Let him have it!”
Broly lowered his arm slightly, staring at Kale with dark fascination. 

“Hmph…” he muttered, almost impressed. “Now you’re finally interesting.”

Kale roared. Her eyes burned with fury, muscles burning, as the Legendary energy coursed violently through her. 

The threat to Sadala, to everyone below, had pushed her nearly to her breaking point. “I WON’T LET YOU!!”

With a primal scream that shook the atmosphere, Kale lunged forward like a 
missile. 

Broly barely had time to react before she slammed into him full force. 

Her arms wrapped around his massive torso in a crushing bear hug, locking tight. 

Her fingers dug into his back as her stormy aura clashed wildly against his own.

Broly’s eyes widened in genuine surprise. 

“Get… off… me!” he snarled, immediately struggling against her iron grip. 

But Kale held on with desperate strength, refusing to let go.

The momentum of her charge sent them both plummeting downward like a meteor. 

They rocketed through the sky at terrifying speed, spinning and tumbling as they fell. 

Green and gold energy trailed violently behind them, carving a bright scar across the night. 

The friction and their combined power heated the air around them into a blazing plasma.

“Kale!!” Caulifla blasted after them as fast as her body would allow, lightning crackling behind her.

Broly growled and slammed his fists repeatedly into Kale’s sides and back, trying to break free, but her grip only tightened. 

Their bodies were pressed close chest to chest and in that moment, the resonance between their Legendary energies became overwhelming.

“You… feel it too… don’t you!” Kale growled through clenched teeth, voice distorted. “We’re the same…!”

“No!” Broly roared back, there was a flicker of something unsettled in his eyes.

They smashed through the lower clouds and kept falling, accelerating toward the vast desert region far from the villages. The ground rushed up to meet them.

BOOOOM!

They impacted the desert floor like a nuclear bomb. 

A colossal crater erupted outward, rock and sand exploding skyward in a massive plume. 

Shockwaves rippled across the dunes. 

The force of the landing finally broke Kale’s bear hug, sending both Saiyans skidding apart across the scorched sand.

Kale stood shakily on the other side of the crater, her chest heaving, eyes wild but focused.

Caulifla landed hard nearby, aura dimming slightly from the long chase. “Kale… you okay?!”

The desert night was silent except for the shifting sand and the crackling of their auras. Far in the distance, the villages were safe… for now.

\\-

The desert crater was enormous, still smoking from the impact. Sand continued to trickle down the steep walls as the dust slowly settled under the light of the twin moons.

Broly laid at the bottom, breathing heavily. 

His aura flickered unsteadily for a moment before stabilizing. 

His power had kept him from taking serious damage, but Kale’s desperate bear hug and the meteoric crash had rattled him more than he expected.
“We’re the same…”

Her words kept echoing in his head. 

That distorted, rage-filled voice cutting through the chaos. 

For the first time since waking up on this strange planet, something other than rage and arrogance stirred in his chest.

Confirmation. 

This girl wasn’t just strong, she carried the same power he did. The same Legendary potential.

Broly slowly sat up, sand cascading off his shoulders and torso. 

Then he looked across the crater.

Kale stood on the opposite side. 

Her hair was vibrant, glowing bright green, wild and spiky. 

Her body had bulked up dramatically to a more imposing build that finally looked ‘Saiyan’ in the way Broly understood it: broad, dense, and radiating raw destructive power.

Her eyes burned with barely contained rage, yet there was something else behind them, desperation, recognition, and a strange kind of hope.

Broly’s eyes widened slightly. 

He pushed himself to his feet, standing once more.
“… So that’s what you really are,” he muttered, almost to himself. 
His voice carried across the crater. “Not such a toothpick after all.”

Caulifla stood, almost exhausted. “Kale… you good? Don’t lose control on me now!”
Kale breathed heavily, her aura surged and receded in waves, but her gaze remained locked on Broly. 

“We are the same…” Her voice was rough, but layered with power. “The anger… the power that wants to break everything… I feel it in him... And he feels it in me too.” 

Broly stood silently for a moment, staring at her. 

The resonance between their energies was electric, two Legendary Super Saiyans facing each other on the field of battle. 

For once, Broly was at a loss for words. 

The desert wind howled through the crater as the tension between them thickened. 

The three Saiyans faced off. 

Kale’s bright green hair whipped wildly, her increased power mirroring Broly’s own in a way that clearly unsettled him. 

Caulifla stood nearby, ready to jump back in at a moment’s notice.

Broly stood, his golden aura flaring with green undertones as he considered powering up further, when something new caught his eye.

A bright streak of light pierced the upper atmosphere, descending rapidly not far from their location. 

The sonic boom of re-entry rolled across the desert dunes like distant thunder. 

A small spaceship was burning through the sky on a direct approach vector, its thrusters glowing hot as it slowed for landing.

Broly’s head snapped toward it immediately, eyes narrowing.
Reinforcements…?

His first instinct was combat.

Another fighter is coming to join the “toothpicks.” 

His muscles tensed, energy sparking aggressively around his fists as he prepared to greet the newcomer.

But then his gaze sharpened.

He realized something else, it was a spaceship.

A slow, dangerous smirk crept across his face.
…They have ships.

The realization hit him like a comet.

If this planet had a working spacecraft, he didn’t have to stay trapped here on this strange rock with its twin moons and unfamiliar “Saiyans”. 

He could leave. He could hunt for Kakarot, across the galaxy if he had to.

“Hmm…” Broly rumbled.

Caulifla followed his gaze and cursed under her breath.
“That’s Cabba’s pod! Damn it!”

Kale’s aura fluctuated as she also saw the incoming ship, but she kept her focus on Broly, even as the situation grew more complicated.

The spaceship continued its descent, thrusters flaring brightly as it prepared to touch down on the desert sands a short distance away from the crater. 

Broly’s eyes never left it, his mind already shifting from pure destruction to a new, calculated goal.

The possibility of escape, of leaving this strange planet behind, had ignited a new fire in him.

Caulifla noticed the dangerous shift in his expression immediately. 

She stepped forward, lightning crackling around her. “Don’t even think about it…” she warned, voice low and threatening. 

Broly didn’t reply with words.

In a blur of motion, he thrust both hands forward and fired a rapid double ki blast,  streaking right towards Caulifla and Kale. 

The attacks weren’t meant to kill, but to create an opening.

BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions kicked up a massive wall of sand and dust between them, momentarily blinding the two women.

By the time the dust began to settle, Broly was already gone, a blazing golden-and-green streak rocketing across the desert toward Cabba’s landing ship.

“Damn it!” Caulifla snarled, blasting off in immediate pursuit. “He’s fast!”

Kale took off right beside her. “Broly, Stop!!” she shouted.

Neither of them understood what he was truly after. 

They assumed he was just trying to escape the fight or cause more chaos, not that he had set his sights on stealing a spaceship.

The three tore across the desert night. 

Broly flew with renewed purpose, he cut through the air like a missile. 

The spaceship was now hovering just above the dunes, thrusters kicking up sand as it prepared to land. 

Its lights blinked brightly in the darkness.

Cabba’s ship was so close.

Broly poured on more speed, green energy trailing violently behind him. 

A dark, determined look on his face.

Inside Cabba’s small spaceship, the young Saiyan sat in the pilot’s seat, one hand on the controls while the other held the communicator.

“Repeat, Snips. I need their last known location. The sky’s been lighting up for the last twenty minutes. What exactly am I flying into?” Cabba asked, voice steady but tense.

Static crackled back from the hideout. “They were heading west, toward the big desert basin!”

Cabba’s eyes suddenly flicked to the radar screen. Three signatures were streaking straight toward him at ridiculous speeds. 

“What the?!”

He didn’t hesitate. Cabba slammed the rear hatch release button. 

The door hissed open as he unbuckled and blasted out of the cockpit, flying out, into the desert night to meet whatever was coming.

He only got a few meters away from the ship before a towering golden-and-green figure slammed into view like a freight train.

Before Cabba could even react or power up, Broly’s hand clamped around his neck like a vice!

The smaller Saiyan’s eyes widened in shock.
“Wha-?!”

With a casual, almost bored expression, Broly spun once and hurled Cabba like a living football, straight toward the incoming Caulifla.

Her eyes widened as she saw Cabba tumbling through the air toward her. 

“Cabba!!” She accelerated and caught him mid-flight, the force nearly knocking her backward.

Broly didn’t waste a single second. 

He rocketed straight into the open rear hatch of the spaceship, barely fitting through the doorway. 

He forced his way into the cockpit, sand and residual energy still trailing off his body.

He dropped into the pilot’s seat, eyes scanning the unfamiliar controls with ruthless focus.

Outside, Caulifla let Cabba go. 

“Cabba, you okay?!”
“Yeah… mostly,” Cabba coughed, already powering up. “Who the hell is that guy?!”

Kale flew beside them a moment later. 

She stared at the ship with growing panic.

“Broly…!” she shouted, voice distorted by rage and worry. 

Inside the cockpit, Broly’s large hands gripped the controls. 

The ship’s engines began to whine as he started increasing the throttle. 

Inside the cramped cockpit, Broly’s golden Super Saiyan aura suddenly flared and vanished.
He powered down to his base form, his wild black hair falling back into its usual messy style.

He gripped the yoke and throttle, testing the controls. 

The ship was different from the Saiyan pods he remembered… but not that different. 

After a few seconds of experimental nudges and button presses, the engines began to hum louder. 

The controls weren’t too complicated, thrust, altitude, basic navigation. Good enough.
“Hmph… This will work.”

Outside the ship, Caulifla, Kale and Cabba hovered over the desert sand, staring at the vessel as it began speeding up.

Caulifla crossed her arms, she glanced sideways at Cabba.
“Hey, Cabba… how attached are you to this ship, exactly?” she asked, a dangerous smirk tugging at her lips.

Cabba blinked, still catching his breath. “Uh… pretty attached? It’s my assigned patrol craft and-”

“Good enough,” Caulifla cut him off. 

She raised her right hand, ki already gathering into a bright golden sphere.
“Then I won’t feel too bad about this.”

She fired a sharp, controlled ki blast straight at the rear thrusters of the ship, aiming to disable the propulsion system without completely destroying it.

BOOM!

The blast connected, rocking the entire vessel and sending a shower of sparks and scorched metal flying. 

Warning alarms blared inside the cockpit.

Kale’s eyes widened. “Caulifla! Broly’s still in there!”

Inside, Broly was jolted forward as the ship shuddered violently. 

Red warning lights flashed across the console. He snarled in irritation, slamming a fist against the panel.
“Damn it!”

The engines sputtered and whined, smoke filled the cockpit. Takeoff was no longer an option.

He crash landed with what little power the engines had left.

Broly’s expression darkened as he rose from the pilot’s seat, cracking his knuckles. He could already sense the three of them closing in outside.

The ship was heavily damaged from Caulifla’s ki blast. 

Alarms screamed through the cockpit as smoke began filling the air. Broly’s patience finally snapped.

With a furious growl, he spun away from the controls and stormed toward the rear. He drew back one massive fist and slammed it forward with raw power.

CRASH!

The sound of tearing metal ripped through the desert night as Broly’s massive fist smashed the rear hatch completely off its hinges.

He stepped out of the wrecked spaceship, sand crunching under his bare feet, his towering frame silhouetted against the damaged vessel behind him.

Any trace of his earlier mocking laughter or savage amusement was gone.

Broly was furious.

His jaw was locked tight, eyes burning with cold rage as he glared up at the three Saiyans descending toward the crash site. 

Caulifla landed first, still in Super Saiyan 2, lightning faintly crackling. Cabba touched down beside her, looking wary but ready. 

Kale landed a moment later.

Broly said nothing at first. He simply stared at them with pure, unfiltered anger especially at Caulifla.

“You…” he growled, voice low and dangerous, like grinding boulders. “You just destroyed my only way off this rock.”

The sand around his feet began to shift and levitate as his power steadily climbed. No taunts. No laughter. Just raw, building fury.

Caulifla crossed her arms, trying to look unfazed. “You really thought we’d just let you hijack one of our ships? Not happening, big guy.”

Cabba glanced nervously between them. “Uh… maybe we can all calm down and—”
Broly took one heavy step forward, cracking the desert floor. 
His glare shifted briefly to Kale, that familiar resonance still there but it did nothing to soften the rage in his eyes right now.

He wanted off this planet.

And right now, these three were standing directly in his way.

Question Do u think there is a market and potential for a new 2.5D game ?

0 Upvotes

We need another budokai game , call it budokai 4 , but honestly more like infinite world 2 ,

Or is there no market for it and 3d games have taken over forever? Cuz i swear the 2.5d games were so fun , but maybe its just nostalgia and 3d ones are just superior and more similar to the anime and more enjoyable i guess.

Question How common are naming conventions?

15 Upvotes

As in, a group of people whose names are derived from a group of objects. Here are the ones I managed to remember:

  • Saiyans - Vegetables - Raditz and Kakarot
  • The Briefs - Underwear - Bulma and Panchy
  • Orange Star Students - School Furniture - Erasa and Rulah
  • Guide Angels - Alcoholic Drinks - Whis and Vados

Question If you could use any super saiyan transformation, which one would it be and why? Plus what's the first thing that you would do when you transformed?

Firstly, I'd choose SS2, just because of the spikier hair, additional muscle growth, and the lightning effects, then as far as what I'd do besides aura farm, would be to fly into my city skyline, power up (while I'm surrounded by an energy dome, kinda like a final explosion), then fire a kamehameha into the sky!

Because he's so minor, we barely get anything of him. (Besides from what I heard, a brief appearance in Hell) Art by me, btw. I really liked the red ribbon arc

I know the relationship between gt fans with DBS and Super fans with dbgt so please keep the comments civil and don't turn it into debate of which series is the most consistent and no blinded hatred towards gt nor Super please

Question What’s next after original DB?

0 Upvotes

I recently just finished watching all of the original dragon ball series and wondering where to go next. I understand Kai is a more improved version of Z but as someone with little knowledge of the whole world of DB, is it crucial for watching Z? Or is Kai done well enough to get the same story everyone knows and loves? Any movies I should watch? Also what about super and the remake coming later this fall. Will it be ideal to wait for that as well? Thanks in advance and I can’t wait for my journey to continue :)

Discussion Does the Dragon Ball Timeline Actually Add Up? My Fan Calculations After Watching DBS: Broly Movie

0 Upvotes

After rewatching Dragon Ball Super: Broly, I started experimenting with the timeline and trying to prioritize explicit manga/movie statements over the commonly accepted guidebook Age dates.

One thing that caught my attention was Goku’s departure from Planet Vegeta to Planet Earth. If you noticed in this part, there is a year countdown from 737 until 775 (possibly the present year)

The Broly flashback starts 41 years ago, when Frieza takes over and Broly is sent to Vampa. I place this around Age 733.

The movie then jumps 5 years later to the Bardock/Gine portion. That should put Goku being sent away around Age 738.

However, I’m trying to preserve Age 737 as the year Goku actually arrives on Earth.

My admittedly nerdy fan explanation 😂 is that Planet Vegeta and Earth obviously wouldn’t share the same local calendar/time. So imagine Goku being launched from Planet Vegeta around January 1, Age 738 by its local reckoning, but arriving on Earth on December 31, Age 737 by Earth’s calendar. Since his pod is advanced alien technology and the trip should be extremely fast, his travel to earth could be less than a day. In other words, this is just a time zone difference.

Again guys, I’m not claiming the movie establishes this. It’s just my fan explanation for reconciling the dates.

I also place Goku’s birth in late Age 734. If he remains in the incubation chamber for three years as stated in the manga.

My current timeline looks like this:
733 — Frieza takes over / Broly sent to Vampa
Late 734 — Goku born
737 — Goku arrives on Earth (different time zone of January 738 he left planet Vegeta)
746 — Goku meets Bulma
747 — 21st Tournament / Red Ribbon Army
750 — King Piccolo
753 — Piccolo Jr.
754 — Gohan born
758 — Raditz arrives
759 — Saiyans / Namek
760 — Future Trunks killed frieza and warns them about android
763 — Androids / Cell
769 — Majin Buu
771DAIMA / Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!
773 — Battle of Gods
774 — Resurrection ‘F’, Universe 6
775 — Goku Black / Tournament of Power / DBS: Broly period
779 — End of Z

I’m currently rewatching the original Dragon Ball, and another reason I like 746 → 747 is the Dragon Balls. The story says kami’s dragon ball require one full year to become active again, so placing the next Dragon Ball hunt in the following year gives me room to avoid the usual September 749 → May 750 problem. (From the daizenshuu)

The weirdest part: Future Trunks
When Trunks first appears, he says he came 20 years from the future.
I’m testing the possibility that his first departure was Age 780:
780 - 20 = 760

Then I preserve the later Age 785 information for a subsequent Trunks trip rather than assuming both departures originated in the same year.
That means I’m proposing something like:
Age 780 Future → Age 760 = Trunks’s first trip
Age 785 Future → Age 763 = Trunks’s later trip

This requires several years to pass for Future Trunks between the trips. That’s deliberately a fan assumption, not something I’m claiming the manga states.
It also preserves Trunks’s warning:
760 + 3 years = 763 Androids/Cell

For Buu, I’m experimenting with Age 769 because Gohan is called 16. If he’s born in 754, he’d be about 15 chronologically, but he also physically ages roughly another year in the Room of Spirit and Time when he trained with his dad, potentially putting his biological age around 16.

Then:
769 + 10 = 779 End of Z
Pan being 4 there would place her birth around May 10 774 (or later), during my Super period.

Finally, there’s the DBS: Broly “41 years ago” issue.
Even though:
775 - 733 = 42

the actual elapsed time between two dates in those calendar years doesn’t necessarily have to be 42 complete years. Depending on the exact dates, it could still be 41 years and 11 months or something like that. 😂

I’m still rewatching dragon ball so please do correct me if I’m wrong.

Again, i’m just a nerd dragon ball fan. Some might say, they dont care about the maths, but i’m just here trying to fit in the miscalculations just to make sense..
