* IKnewIt:
** Back when the U14 18 vs. U9 Yamcha fight started, most likely because of his young appearance compared to U9 Krillin, a few fans predicted that [[spoiler:[[WildMassGuessing Yamcha was actually a cyborg]]]]. A few pages later, this was confirmed.
** Many people believed that the body Ginyu was inhabiting was that of [[spoiler:King Cold]] due to it explaining [[spoiler:why Cold felt the need to train to the point where he acquired a sixth form when in canon he was as content as Freeza to never improve his strength]] and (on a far less serious note) [[spoiler:the position he made when dodging Bra's energy sphere attack.]] Chapter 55 confirms this.
** Ginyu [[spoiler:in Bra's body]] attempting to switch bodies with Vegito came as no surprise to anyone. What did come as a shock was [[spoiler:it amounting to nothing, with Vegito making it so Ginyu swapped back into Cold and Bra returning to her own body with little effort.]]
** During the [[spoiler:Majin Rebellion]] arc, U16 Bra [[spoiler:getting Majinized]] was a very popular prediction due to her very conspicuous absence for the beginning stages.
** A few people were able to predict that the divergent point for U9 was Cooler deciding to destroy Goku's escape pod as it was flying to Earth, and a few more successfully predicted that this eventually led to Cooler killing Frieza due to U9 being unfamiliar with the latter.
** During the final fight of the [[spoiler:Majin Rebellion]] arc, [[spoiler:Majin Cell blasting Majin Bra with his own Special Beam Cannon while she was being bombarded by much weaker ones from the 2 Piccolos]] was something quite a few people predicted a few pages before it actually happened.
** For years, fans speculated that U13 Kakarot [[spoiler:used the Earth's Dragon Balls to make himself immortal]], due to his freakish endurance and resilience, even by Saiyan standards. This ends up being confirmed in chapter 74.

** Trunks's Ascended/Ultra Super Saiyan is dismissed in canon as a useless form that sacrifices too much speed to be worth the power boost. In the comic, Trunks's years of training would allow him to use it cleverly in the Multiverse tournament by rapidly turning it on and off depending on whether he needed speed or power. Years later, canon Trunks would do the same thing in ''Super's'' Goku Black arc, flashing in and out of the form while sparring with Vegeta to feint him and land a few good hits.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** The novelization is written years after the webcomic release, so it tends to be full of these.
*** It's explicitly stated Bra [[spoiler:using senzu beans against Cold]] wasn't cheating, but simply exploiting the rules to her advantage like her opponent did.
*** Gast and Raichi have more interaction in their fight, Raichi actually uses Hirudegarn, it's explained how [[spoiler:Gast could sneak up on Raichi after seemingly dying]], [[spoiler:Hatchiyack]] is much stronger and capable of hand-to-hand combat, and Gast is made more powerful to alleviate complaints of his strength being an InformedAttribute in the comic.
*** To fix the above-mentioned {{Asspull}} of U16 Bra somehow knowing about Cell's [[spoiler:reinforced nucleus]], the novelization takes out Bra's line in the webcomic where she's already looking for it on her own and instead has U11 Buu accidentally give away that [[spoiler:Cell is still alive]].
** In the wake of the massive fan backlash to the Majin Rebellion arc's ending, Salagir added extra pages bridging the arc and the next match, showing [[spoiler:U16 Bra feeling horrible for her actions and apologizing in tears to U16 Gohan, and U16 Pan outright refusing to talk to her]]. This addressed criticisms that [[spoiler:U16 Bra]] was EasilyForgiven by everyone and the arc [[{{Padding}} had no lasting effects on the story]]. Salagir further confirmed the fan backlash also affected [[spoiler:her fight with Gast]], implying further development.

** Debate about Bra being a MarySue--especially after her fight with Cold and [[spoiler:the Majin Rebellion arc]]--got so heated and omnipresent in the English section it was similarly exiled to the forums for a time.

** The whole comic itself went through a roughly year-long period without a main artist, causing Salagir to find multiple artists to make a single chapter each while he searched for a more permanent replacement. Chapters 31, 33, and 35 were all drawn by different people before Asura stepped in to take Gogeta Jr.'s place as primary artist of the webcomic.



** Debate about Bra being a MarySue--especially after her fight with Cold and [[spoiler:the Majin Rebellion arc]]--got so heated and omnipresent in the English section it was similarly exiled to the forums for a time.



** [[spoiler:The Majin Rebellion and by extension Majin Bra.]] Neither of these things were in Salagir's original vision. An unintentional side effect of this was future parts of the comic needing to be tweaked to accommodate for it, chiefly U3 Bardock's vision and U16 Bra vs Gast.
** Salagir's depiction of Bra changed over the course of the comic due to her [[TheScrappy tepid]] reception among the fans. There were some theories based on how the comic started, as well as the novelization, that Bra was intended to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who ultimately had redeeming qualities, but fan dislike towards her less than stellar qualities caused Salagir to turn Bra into a full-on HateSink, especially once she [[spoiler:becomes a Majin.]]

to:

** [[spoiler:The Majin Rebellion Many of the first-round fights after Vegito vs. Broly were unplanned when Salagir began DBM, explaining why all of U18's contestants appear in the first half and why universes like U2 do not appear at all until after the lunch break.
** U19's roster and designs were in flux during the early rounds, not getting finalized until the appearance of Phipsil during the third round almost ten years after DBM began.
** Kakarot's [[spoiler:immortality]] wasn't planned from the beginning, with Salagir only coming up with it around 2013 during the second round. It was partly developed to explain the FridgeLogic of why evil U13 Vegeta hadn't killed Kakarot despite Kakarot being a clear and potentially dangerous rival.
** The 2017-2021 [[spoiler:Majin Rebellion]] arc,
and by extension Majin Bra.]] Neither of these things [[spoiler:Majin Bra]], were not in Salagir's original vision. An unintentional side effect of this was future parts of the comic needing to be tweaked to accommodate for it, chiefly U3 Bardock's vision and U16 Bra vs Gast.
** Salagir's depiction of Bra has frequently changed over the course of the comic due to her [[TheScrappy tepid]] reception among the fans. There were some theories based Based on how the comic started, as well as the novelization, that some theorize Bra was intended to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who ultimately had redeeming qualities, but fan dislike towards her less than stellar qualities personality caused Salagir to turn Bra into a full-on HateSink, especially once she [[spoiler:becomes [[spoiler:became a Majin.]]Majin]]. Fan opinion that she'd now [[MoralEventHorizon become irredeemable]] caused Salagir to come up with a DarkAndTroubledPast and a FreudianExcuse for her, followed by ''more'' changes once fans complained about Bra being EasilyForgiven.
*** Similarly, while Vegito's future FaceHeelTurn has been foreshadowed in Bardock's visions since 2011, his parenting of Bra was mostly portrayed as positive up until 2021. As Bra's character shifted, Vegito's history with his daughter was retconned to be abusive to make her more sympathetic.

* FanNickname:
** "Zen Buu" for Buu from U4. It's a [[GratuitousJapanese Japanese]] [[PunnyName pun]] on the word 'zenbu', meaning 'altogether' or 'entire', but still applies to the character since Zen Buu, having absorbed "everyone with a power" in his universe, has an [[SmugSnake eerily calm persona]].
** [[spoiler:Ginyu in Bra's body is called "Brayu". Likewise, Ginyu in King Cold's body has been nicknamed "Coldyu".]]
** Universe 16 has been called, at least by vocal critics of the comic, the [[SociopathicHero Sociopath Universe]] due to how arrogant and violent Vegito and Bra are.
** [[spoiler:"Ultra Buu" for U20 Majin Buu after he absorbs the U20 Z-Fighters to take on U20 Broly.]]

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Of the TurnOfTheMillennium ''Franchise/DragonBall'' fandom. Frieza being a [[VillainForgotToLevelGrind weak]] ButtMonkey? Hard limits to character potential? Bra being older than Pan? [[spoiler:Potara fusion being permanent]]? While DBM’s story and treatment of characters don’t necessarily represent the ideas of ''all Dragon Ball'' fans in the early 2000s, they still reflect an era before ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'', and even ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' (which ''Multiverse'' predates by about a month). Because of this, uninformed newcomers often wonder where Beerus is or why Goku isn’t going Super Saiyan Blue.
