* HotMom: Chapter 20 shows what Goku and Raditz's mother could've looked like, in U3 at least. Hanasia also doubles as an ActionMom, who was apparently the ''strongest'' adult Saiyan at the time of Goku's birth, even being the one tasked to break into Freeza's ship, and ''transforms into an Oozaru from the inside to total it''. She doesn't take shit from her husband, either, following the school of thought that a Saiyan isn't necessarily born strong, unlike Bardock, who immediately deems his sons failures for being born with low power levels.

''Dragon Ball Multiverse'' is a FanSequel [[FanWebComics Web Comic]] set ten years after DragonBallZ ([[FanonDiscontinuity ignoring]] DragonBallGT). Goku, Vegeta and their children are contacted by the Vargas, a race who discovered a way to travel through {{Alternate Universe}}s and want to hold a tournament reuniting the strongest fighters of TheMultiverse. The heroes, always looking for new challengers, naturally accept.
BetterThanItSounds. The very simple story hides well-paced storytelling and beautifully loyal, [[OriginalFlavor similar to the original]], art. Its main appeal is the potential for UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny and WhatIf stories.

The many universes are numbered from 1 to 20, being called 'Universe 1' and so forth (our heroes come from Universe 18). For the sake of simplicity, it will be sometimes shortened to U[Number] (like "U16") and similar characters will be called U[Number] [Character name] (like "U13 Vegeta")
Now has a [[{{Characters/DragonBallMultiverse}} character sheet]].
----
!! Dragon Ball Multiverse provides examples of:
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Tidar's (from U19) [[BladeBelowTheShoulder God Blade]] which he used to effortlessly cut Uub's arm and the whole arena in a single swing. And that one pales in compassion with the Ultra armor used by his comrade Xeniloum; see UpToEleven
* AlternateContinuity: Though the comic has rarely touched upon some of the more interesting stories, presumably out of suspense. One arguable point is that the author has complaints about things that didn't make sense in the original story. Now, despite having alternate universes be the ultimate fan fiction tool, Universe 3 is strange. [[spoiler: In this universe, Bardock gets his psychic powers and leads a rebellion against Frieza. But Universe 18, the original, and all other universes are rewritten so that Bardock DIDN'T receive his psychic powers, because the author felt that in the Bardock special, the plot would not have changed whether Bardock had his visions or not.]]
* AlternateUniverse: In total there are 20, each going down a different path in DBZ history (Goku becoming evil, the Namekians fusing to form a Super-Namekian, etc).
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: Some more than others, as shown in the character page. Of special mention, [[spoiler: Pan and U9 Yamcha]].
* AllThereInTheManual: The official novelization and official fanfictions telling the story of U2, 14, and 16 reveals bits of information unavailable in the main comic. Presumably the most important of them will be revealed later in the main comic or in the specials. Too bad they were only available [[NoExportForYou only in French]]. Recently though, there has been an attempt at creating an English novelization, and the prologue and first chapter have finally been translated.
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The fighters from U19 use "nano technology" and "chemicals" to fight to compensate for their lack of energy attacks.
** So what exactly did the Vargas use to create shields that can withstand nuclear-like blasts and rooms that [[spoiler: can shield spiritual energy]]?
* ArtShift: If you count the specials, Dragon Ball Multiverse shifts the art shift willy-nilly.
* AuthorAvatar: AkiraToriyama, the creator of DragonBall apears in the strip as a fighter only to quit when he realizes that the fighter he is up against is not his creation. While leaving, he meets the [[AuthorAvatar Author Avatars]] of the creators of DragonballMultiverse who ask him for his autograph, which he gives them, in Japanese.
* BadassGrandpa: Krillin (or "Kulilin" as the author insists on calling him), of all people. He seems to have mellowed out in his old age.
* [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Saiyans Can Breathe In Space]]: Subverted by Vegetto, Bra, and Gohan, who have to hold their breaths and use their ki to protect themselves from the vacuum of space. Played straight by Majin Buu.
** Completely averted by Kulilin in the Cell special. Gross.
* BattleAura
* BeamSpam: Comes with the territory. The Saiyans use this [[spoiler: to overkill Frieza and Zarbon in Universe 3]].
* BrickJoke
** "Bear my child!"
*** "God Damn it Kakarot!"
* TheBerserker: Broly. [[spoiler:U16 Bra]] may count too.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Dabra. Who had thought he wasn't going to die?]]
** Subverted like a wild chimpanzee. [[spoiler: Majin Buu revives him because Dabura offered him some candy, but it was the same candy Majin Buu had conjured during the lunch break.]]
* ContinuityNod: The Multiverse aspect, especially for changed or alternate versions of the established DBZ cast, allows for callbacks or pokes to aspects of the series.
** The movies have been rewritten to fit within DBZ history. More irritatingly, aspects like Bardock's visions and the Tuffles were rewritten or removed from some universes.
* CaptainObvious: Android 16 in his fight with Eleim.
* CerebusSyndrome: Chapter 6. Prior to then, all fights either ended with knockouts or fairly minor deaths and there was quite a lot of humor. [[spoiler: In Chapter 6, U6 Bojack ''kills U16 Pan by [[NeckSnap breaking her neck]] with his bare hands while she was in Super Saiyan form''.]] The official novelization of the chapter's events has the U18 fighters fully realize they need to take these fights much more seriously afterwards.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: U17 Cell ''rips off his own head'' to avoid U11 Dabura's [[TakenForGranite stone spit.]]
* CrossCounter: Gotenks does this to [[spoiler: AU Gotenks]]. [[spoiler: Several times as it's played for Laughs.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Given how strong the protagonists become - and the comic is set post-DBZ - this is to be expected.
** Uub practically mocks a Tech-warrior during their match, promptly loses an arm and so [[DisproportionateRetribution reduces the guy to atoms]].
** U18 [read: Manga] Vegeta versus his Planet Vegeta native counterpart. Even turning into the Oozaru didn't help the poor guy.
** U8 Coola vs. U12 Future Trunks. Coola takes his defeat ''hard.'' Part of this may have been Trunks saying that he wasn't worth killing.
** [[ParodySue Mary Sue]] vs. [[LethalJokeCharacter Arale]]. Textbook case?
** Tenshinhan to Sun Wukong. See MythologyGag for more.
** U18 Goku vs U10 Massato and U13 Kakarot vs U6 Kat.
** Subverted with Gast, while many expected this to be a curbstomp battle, but the battle begins with Gast hitting the floor.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: [[spoiler:Yamcha]] implies this is happening to #18.
** He also implied that it happened to himself at one point in time, but that he [[IGotBetter got better]].
* DeathIsCheap: The Vargas race who run the tournament promise that any casualties will be revived by a random universes' Namekian Dragon Balls. Having the fighters unrestrained helps put on a good show.
** The specification of using Namekian Dragon Balls implies that Earth doesn't have a set in every reality.
** Doesn't stop the deaths of [[spoiler: Tidar, Pan, and Syd]] from causing misery to their teammates.
* DetachmentCombat: U4 Majin Buu.
* {{Determinator}}: Nail. Holy ''shit''.
** It took a lot for Recoome to go down, too.
* DissonantSerenity: After being thwarted in absorbing Broly, U4 Buu returns to the arena pissed off, and looks like he's about to kill Vegitto, Bra, and Gohan (and probably would, considering how weakened they are) and then... calmly congratulates them, thanks them for a fun fight, wishes them luck, and walks back to his booth. It comes off as incredibly creepy and foreboding.
* DistaffCounterpart: The girls of U6 may or may not count.
* DrowningMySorrows: Coola does this after his CurbStompBattle against Future Trunks.
* EvilCounterpart: Kakarotto from U13 (the "Super Saiyan's Universe") is this for Son Goku. He attempted to unnerve Goten and Gohan with tales of how he murdered their friends, [[InsultBackfire only to be shocked by the revelation that he's their father]].
* EvilVersusEvil: Some potential matches, particularly Cell vs Dabura so far. There's also upcoming matches - U13 Vegeta vs Dr. Raichi, U13 Nappa vs Frieza, and Cell vs Bojack.
* ExplosiveDecompression: Unfortunately invoked during Chapter 16. After killing the rest of the Z-Fighters, Cell nabs Krillin and drags him into outer space. Once there, Krillin's ''brain and lungs explode'' almost immediately.
* FacePalm: Cell when his Cell Junior [[spoiler: risks disqualification after punching his opponent whithout touching the ring.]]
* 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]].
* FanRemake: Two of the specials are a remake of the two movies Broly appeared, so it can fit in the chronology.
** The first of the two chapters about U3 can be seen as this too(in this case, a remake of the Bardock TV special).
* FlyingBrick: Most of the tournament fighters.
* GenderBender: [[spoiler: Syd is the Captain Ginyu of sex changes, [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-477.html as King Vegeta learned the hard way.]]]]
** FirstLawOfGenderBending: Subverted. Said transformation lasts for only five pages.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Cell and Majin Buu. Piccolo and the other Namekians also seem to get dismembered a lot.
** [[RunningGag Sadly, the same can't be said for Dabura]].
* GroinAttack: Dodoria's killing of a Saiyan in [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-448.html page 448]]. WordOfGod says he actually hit him in the abdomen. Believe what you want.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: [[spoiler:U4's Zen Buu]]
* HowWeGotHere: The first 10 pages are placed in the gap between chapter 9 and 11 (10 is a [[WholeEpisodeFlashBack special]]). They also work as a trailer.
* InterdimensionalTravelDevice: The Vargas have one; it drives the plot.
** [[spoiler: One of them is hijacked by King Vegeta and the Saiyans of Universe 10 in a coup de'tat. But this part of the plot is in a galaxy far, far away... and only discussed in the novelization.]]
* JustAMachine: The warriors of U19 seemingly subscribe to this school of thought.
* KamehameHadoken
* LackOfEmpathy: Freiza and the other villains, of course.
* LamarckWasRight: [[spoiler:U16 Bra]] is so strong because of it.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-355.html At one time]], Vegeta complains that his waiting after his first fight seems to him like two years. Guess how much real time had passed since the fight.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Universe 2 appears to consist solely of this character type.
* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler: Cell does this to himself to avoid being petrified by Dabura.]]
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Tidar, from Universe 19, uses it against Uub. It's about as effective as you think.
* MarySue: [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-284.html She is an actual person]], and she's going against [[DrSlump Arale.]][[invoked]]
** CopyCatSue
** ParodySue
** [[HilarityEnsues Hilariously]] ''not'' GodModeSue.
* MegaCrossover: Applies to the comic, but for U2 it is even more of a crossover fest; a collection of many characters drawn by AkiraToriyama. [[http://bk-81.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2t2urt How many can you recognize]]? In fact, Toriyama HIMSELF appears.
* MeteorMove: Being a DBZ fan comic, this is bound to happen a lot.
* MirrorMatch: One of the chapters has U16 and U18 Gotenks fighting each other, thus causing this trope to be in play. And boy, is it played to the hilt, as the two do the ''exact'' same things.
** So much that when they inevitably defuse, one of the halves has to ''ask'' which of the two other fighters is from his Universe. One of them just gives up.
* MisappliedPhlebotinum: So, you're the only race that found the key to inter-dimensional travel. Well, do something with it! Save the Namek race in places where it went extinct? Save alternate universes from Frieza, marauding Saiyans or other grand threats? Nah, [[RuleOfCool let's make an inter-dimensional tournament!]] Subverted by the fact that these tournaments will gain its winners the prize, [[FridgeHorror but if designated villains win...]]
* [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight Monster Under The Bed]]: [[OverlyLongGag Milked for all its worth.]] Parodies like hell, too; also [[WorldGoneMad one world under Vegetto's will]].
* MrExposition: Piccolo offers a lot of information on the battles while watching from the sidelines.
* TheMultiverse: The opening few comics imply that the Multiverse is infinite and that the numbers assigned to the various realities are for the sake of the tournament alone.
** DBZ:M actually goes against tradition by having the "canon" universe receive a moniker other than "One" or "Prime".
* MythologyGag: Someone allowed [[JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong]] to compete in this tournament. No one is safe.
** Luckily, Tenshinhan looked like Buddah. Guess who eventually defeated the Monkey King in JourneyToTheWest?
* NeckLift: U6 Bojack does this to U16 Pan [[spoiler: before [[NeckSnap crushing her neck]]]] in their battle.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Cptn. Ginyu apparently.]]
* OffModel: Dear God... the Bojack Special, just...[[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/pages/final/0383.png just look]]. [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-394.html This Vegeta]] [[UpToEleven might actually top it!]]
* OhCrap: Jeice gets a BIG one when it's announced that he has to fight Frieza. Yes, ''that'' Frieza. Needless to say, he immediately gives up.
* OldMaster: [[spoiler:Kulilin]] from U9.
* OriginalFlavour: The art style of the tournament chapters are very similar to Toriyama's.
* OverlyLongGag: Almost turned into an arc with the whole [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight monster under the bed]] thing.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Many characters feel they are this after watching Vegetto and Broly's fight.
** Yamcha continues his own RunningGag using this as an excuse. [[GenreSavvy Smart.]]
* PokeThePoodle: Beelzebub, when up against Piccolo, tells him that he is a mere Namekian, while he himself is a true demon. One of Beel's dastardly demonic deeds was ''not'' sharing chocolates with his friends, and eating them ''before'' dinner!
* PoweredArmor: The Heliorians from U19 use them to compensate their lack of ki abilities, and they are INCREDIBLY effective.
* PrecisionFStrike: U13 Raditz makes one during his fight against U3 Bardock, when Bardock becomes a Super Saiyan:
--> '''U13 Raditz''': Oh fuck... that's so unfair!
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Majin Buu.
* RapidFireFisticuffs
* RubberMan: Majin Buu.
* RuleOfCool: Broly was found unconscious and transformed (powered-up) at the same time, which does not happen in DBZ. The authors stated they did that for the coolness, and the readers didn't approve.
* RunningGag: Even when he's got the outcome of the match wrapped around his finger, Yamcha ''cannot'' get past the preliminaries of a tournament.
** "Ugghh... Heal me!"
* SerialEscalation: [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 2 Vegetto, followed quickly by ''Super Saiyan 3'' Vegetto and his colossal "Final Dragon Shine" finishing move. He became so strong his ''mass increased to roughly that of a moon''. And even ''that'' didn't kill Broly!]]
** [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 3 Vegito really, isn't it is known that Goku has access to the Super Saiyan 3 form]], so when you take a Goku and a Vegeta and put them together , it makes sense that [[spoiler: the produce of course would have access to the form. The anime and manga didn't go far enough to necessitate Vegito even needing those forms.]]
** Something more interesting might be how the Vargas constructed a room that [[spoiler: completely blocks out Ki signatures, allowing Cell to produce a second, stronger Cell Junior while murdering his previous one in cold blood]]. Although this may count as [[CrazyPrepared Crazy Prepared]].
*** They also constructed energy shields that can withstand energy blasts from Broly and Cooler.
** The U19 fighters claim that, in their war armor, any one of them could kill Broly with one strike. While it's never revealed if this was quite accurate, it's clear they aren't bluffing: only 1% of Broly's murderous rampage penetrated the energy shield that's protecting the spectators. Xeniloum's Z-slash, however, went through 100%... and he didn't seem to be even ''trying''. The Vargas are naturally freaked out.
* {{Shoryuken}}: How Arale [[CurbStompBattle dealt]] with [[ParodySue Mary Sue]].
* ShoutOut: [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-466.html Page 466.]] [[ThreeHundred That's madness!]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: As the different universes were progressively being revealed, there was surprise, but not an agreement about the unofficial name for U3 (such as U13 being "the Super Saiyans universe"). That is, until Bardock appeared. U3 is now essentially "Bardock's universe with those two guys from the OVAs".
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: The Vargas, who organize the tournament. Also the guys from U19, who rely on technology to fight.
* TakeThatMe: Raditz makes a comment about Dabura "being affected by such a simple technique." The technique in question: the makankosappo.

* TemptingFate: The Nameks at the beginning go out of their way to mention ”[[OhCrap nothing bad can happen]]”. May double as a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial.
* ThemeNaming:
** The Saiyan/Vegetable theme naming continues with Hanasia (some sort of aloe), Mahissu (maize, as in corn), Romanesco (a kind of cauliflower) and Gerkin (like the pickle).
** The Namekian/Snail themes continue with (Es)Cargot, Lumaca (Italian for "slug"), and Gast Carcolh (the former name brings to mind "gastropod", the latter [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Carcolh a French mollusk beast]]).
* TheyKilledKenny: Strangely, despite his acceptable survival rate in the original series, Gohan is starting to become this, due to all the times he gets [[NoKillLikeOverkill ruthlessly killed]] in the specials. [[spoiler:Not to mention Bardock's vision in Chapter 19 of a Vegetto that has attacked and ''might'' have killed Gohan.]]
** Frieza is becoming this too, for similar reasons.
* TranquilFury: Son Gohan. Especially when [[spoiler: his daughter is killed and he can't do a thing about it]].
* TournamentArc: So far, the whole comic (excluding the special chapters).
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler: As implied by the title, Zangya is on the recieving side on one from Son Bra. All it took was one air pressure attack, and Zangya was already dead.]]
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 19 IN SPADES. [[spoiler:King Cold [[OneWingedAngel transforms]] into his never seen third form, and a few pages later into [[BishonenLine his fourth form.]] U9 Videl is seen using the Kaioken.

Only to immediately appear ''yet another'' unknown shadow in U3... And a few pages later, it's revealed that there's [[SerialEscalation ''even another'']] unseen new character at U3, U3 Bardock, who can even turn Super Saiyan. And, when everyone thought the chapter had long reached its top, Bardock has a vision of a NotHimself Vegetto attacking Gohan and Piccolo screaming that all universes are now in danger, which is then followed up on the next page with Buu in a much less solid state yelling out "This Masquerade ends now!", Freeza revealing that Ginyu might have an important part to play, Goku allying with a Cell Jr. and the Super Namek speaking!]] HOLY SHIT. The chapter title [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin could not be so accurate.]]
** In a much smaller degree, the U7 Special has an in-universe example, when Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan arrive on Namek... their very first encounter with a Namekian is... [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-501.html this]].
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: The Heliorian Ultra armor only works if synchronized with its rightful owner's brain waves. [[spoiler:Will U4 Buu find a way to bypass that security measure?]]
* WhatIf: The basis of all the other universes, sans Universe 18.
* WholeEpisodeFlashBack: Certain chapters retell the origins of various universes. Chapters 8 and 12 retell the Broly stories, Chapter 10 has U12 Trunks reviving Android 16, Chapter 14, 16, and 18 showcase Universes 16, 17, and 6, respectively, and Chapters 20-21 tell the beginnings of Universe 3.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Babidi does this to Dabura.]] It gave us a couple of funny moments, though.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Happens a couple of times. For example, [[spoiler:Bojack does it to Bido, and Cell to his Cell Jr.]]
* YouWillBeAssimilated: Zen Buu attempts this with [[spoiler: [[OhCrap Broly]], but is thwarted by the efforts of U16 Vegeto, Gohan, Bra and the [[GenreSavvy Namek that pushed the button to send him back]] because he didn't think leaving [[NotQuiteDead Broly]] in their universe was a good idea.]]
** Later played straight with Xeniloum's armor.
* UnpleasableFanbase: Slightly justified, but read the comments of Chapters 16-18. Some may argue that the comments are the best part of the webcomic.
** At this point, the DBM community consists of: GT-hating fanatics, power level arguments, and the occasional "stop arguing" or "DBM is poorly-written" crowd. We are very disagreeable. Ironically, talking about anything else is almost taboo.

-->--Goku, U18
''Dragon Ball Multiverse'' is a FanSequel [[FanWebComics Web Comic]] set ten years after DragonBallZ ([[FanonDiscontinuity ignoring]] DragonBallGT). Goku, Vegeta and their children are contacted by the Vargas, a race who discovered a way to travel through {{Alternate Universe}}s and want to hold a tournament reuniting the strongest fighters of TheMultiverse. The heroes, always looking for new challengers, naturally accept.
BetterThanItSounds. The very simple story hides well-paced storytelling and beautifully loyal, [[OriginalFlavor similar to the original]], art. Its main appeal is the potential for UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny and WhatIf stories.
Originally available in both French and English, but now it can be read in 23 different languages, most up to date. It is updated 3 times a week (Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday). The website can be found [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/accueil.html here]], but the story starts [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-0.html here]].
The many universes are numbered from 1 to 20, being called 'Universe 1' and so forth (our heroes come from Universe 18). For the sake of simplicity, it will be sometimes shortened to U[Number] (like "U16") and similar characters will be called U[Number] [Character name] (like "U13 Vegeta")
Now has a [[{{Characters/DragonBallMultiverse}} character sheet]].
----
!! Dragon Ball Multiverse provides examples of:
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Tidar's (from U19) [[BladeBelowTheShoulder God Blade]] which he used to effortlessly cut Uub's arm and the whole arena in a single swing. And that one pales in compassion with the Ultra armor used by his comrade Xeniloum; see UpToEleven
* AlternateContinuity: Though the comic has rarely touched upon some of the more interesting stories, presumably out of suspense. One arguable point is that the author has complaints about things that didn't make sense in the original story. Now, despite having alternate universes be the ultimate fan fiction tool, Universe 3 is strange. [[spoiler: In this universe, Bardock gets his psychic powers and leads a rebellion against Frieza. But Universe 18, the original, and all other universes are rewritten so that Bardock DIDN'T receive his psychic powers, because the author felt that in the Bardock special, the plot would not have changed whether Bardock had his visions or not.]]
* AlternateUniverse: In total there are 20, each going down a different path in DBZ history (Goku becoming evil, the Namekians fusing to form a Super-Namekian, etc).
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: Some more than others, as shown in the character page. Of special mention, [[spoiler: Pan and U9 Yamcha]].
* AllThereInTheManual: The official novelization and official fanfictions telling the story of U2, 14, and 16 reveals bits of information unavailable in the main comic. Presumably the most important of them will be revealed later in the main comic or in the specials. Too bad they were only available [[NoExportForYou only in French]]. Recently though, there has been an attempt at creating an English novelization, and the prologue and first chapter have finally been translated.
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The fighters from U19 use "nano technology" and "chemicals" to fight to compensate for their lack of energy attacks.
** So what exactly did the Vargas use to create shields that can withstand nuclear-like blasts and rooms that [[spoiler: can shield spiritual energy]]?
* ArtShift: If you count the specials, Dragon Ball Multiverse shifts the art shift willy-nilly.
* AuthorAvatar: AkiraToriyama, the creator of DragonBall apears in the strip as a fighter only to quit when he realizes that the fighter he is up against is not his creation. While leaving, he meets the [[AuthorAvatar Author Avatars]] of the creators of DragonballMultiverse who ask him for his autograph, which he gives them, in Japanese.
* BadassGrandpa: Krillin (or "Kulilin" as the author insists on calling him), of all people. He seems to have mellowed out in his old age.
* [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Saiyans Can Breathe In Space]]: Subverted by Vegetto, Bra, and Gohan, who have to hold their breaths and use their ki to protect themselves from the vacuum of space. Played straight by Majin Buu.
** Completely averted by Kulilin in the Cell special. Gross.
* BattleAura
* BeamSpam: Comes with the territory. The Saiyans use this [[spoiler: to overkill Frieza and Zarbon in Universe 3]].
* BrickJoke
** "Bear my child!"
*** "God Damn it Kakarot!"
* TheBerserker: Broly. [[spoiler:U16 Bra]] may count too.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Dabra. Who had thought he wasn't going to die?]]
** Subverted like a wild chimpanzee. [[spoiler: Majin Buu revives him because Dabura offered him some candy, but it was the same candy Majin Buu had conjured during the lunch break.]]
* ContinuityNod: The Multiverse aspect, especially for changed or alternate versions of the established DBZ cast, allows for callbacks or pokes to aspects of the series.
** The movies have been rewritten to fit within DBZ history. More irritatingly, aspects like Bardock's visions and the Tuffles were rewritten or removed from some universes.
* CaptainObvious: Android 16 in his fight with Eleim.
* CerebusSyndrome: Chapter 6. Prior to then, all fights either ended with knockouts or fairly minor deaths and there was quite a lot of humor. [[spoiler: In Chapter 6, U6 Bojack ''kills U16 Pan by [[NeckSnap breaking her neck]] with his bare hands while she was in Super Saiyan form''.]] The official novelization of the chapter's events has the U18 fighters fully realize they need to take these fights much more seriously afterwards.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: U17 Cell ''rips off his own head'' to avoid U11 Dabura's [[TakenForGranite stone spit.]]
* CrossCounter: Gotenks does this to [[spoiler: AU Gotenks]]. [[spoiler: Several times as it's played for Laughs.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Given how strong the protagonists become - and the comic is set post-DBZ - this is to be expected.
** Uub practically mocks a Tech-warrior during their match, promptly loses an arm and so [[DisproportionateRetribution reduces the guy to atoms]].
** U18 [read: Manga] Vegeta versus his Planet Vegeta native counterpart. Even turning into the Oozaru didn't help the poor guy.
** U8 Coola vs. U12 Future Trunks. Coola takes his defeat ''hard.'' Part of this may have been Trunks saying that he wasn't worth killing.
** [[ParodySue Mary Sue]] vs. [[LethalJokeCharacter Arale]]. Textbook case?
** Tenshinhan to Sun Wukong. See MythologyGag for more.
** U18 Goku vs U10 Massato and U13 Kakarot vs U6 Kat.
** Subverted with Gast, while many expected this to be a curbstomp battle, but the battle begins with Gast hitting the floor.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: [[spoiler:Yamcha]] implies this is happening to #18.
** He also implied that it happened to himself at one point in time, but that he [[IGotBetter got better]].
* DeathIsCheap: The Vargas race who run the tournament promise that any casualties will be revived by a random universes' Namekian Dragon Balls. Having the fighters unrestrained helps put on a good show.
** The specification of using Namekian Dragon Balls implies that Earth doesn't have a set in every reality.
** Doesn't stop the deaths of [[spoiler: Tidar, Pan, and Syd]] from causing misery to their teammates.
* DetachmentCombat: U4 Majin Buu.
* {{Determinator}}: Nail. Holy ''shit''.
** It took a lot for Recoome to go down, too.
* DissonantSerenity: After being thwarted in absorbing Broly, U4 Buu returns to the arena pissed off, and looks like he's about to kill Vegitto, Bra, and Gohan (and probably would, considering how weakened they are) and then... calmly congratulates them, thanks them for a fun fight, wishes them luck, and walks back to his booth. It comes off as incredibly creepy and foreboding.
* DistaffCounterpart: The girls of U6 may or may not count.
* DrowningMySorrows: Coola does this after his CurbStompBattle against Future Trunks.
* EvilCounterpart: Kakarotto from U13 (the "Super Saiyan's Universe") is this for Son Goku. He attempted to unnerve Goten and Gohan with tales of how he murdered their friends, [[InsultBackfire only to be shocked by the revelation that he's their father]].
* EvilVersusEvil: Some potential matches, particularly Cell vs Dabura so far. There's also upcoming matches - U13 Vegeta vs Dr. Raichi, U13 Nappa vs Frieza, and Cell vs Bojack.
* ExplosiveDecompression: Unfortunately invoked during Chapter 16. After killing the rest of the Z-Fighters, Cell nabs Krillin and drags him into outer space. Once there, Krillin's ''brain and lungs explode'' almost immediately.
* FacePalm: Cell when his Cell Junior [[spoiler: risks disqualification after punching his opponent whithout touching the ring.]]
* 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]].
* FanRemake: Two of the specials are a remake of the two movies Broly appeared, so it can fit in the chronology.
** The first of the two chapters about U3 can be seen as this too(in this case, a remake of the Bardock TV special).
* FlyingBrick: Most of the tournament fighters.
* GenderBender: [[spoiler: Syd is the Captain Ginyu of sex changes, [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-477.html as King Vegeta learned the hard way.]]]]
** FirstLawOfGenderBending: Subverted. Said transformation lasts for only five pages.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Cell and Majin Buu. Piccolo and the other Namekians also seem to get dismembered a lot.
** [[RunningGag Sadly, the same can't be said for Dabura]].
* GroinAttack: Dodoria's killing of a Saiyan in [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-448.html page 448]]. WordOfGod says he actually hit him in the abdomen. Believe what you want.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: [[spoiler:U4's Zen Buu]]
* HowWeGotHere: The first 10 pages are placed in the gap between chapter 9 and 11 (10 is a [[WholeEpisodeFlashBack special]]). They also work as a trailer.
* InterdimensionalTravelDevice: The Vargas have one; it drives the plot.
** [[spoiler: One of them is hijacked by King Vegeta and the Saiyans of Universe 10 in a coup de'tat. But this part of the plot is in a galaxy far, far away... and only discussed in the novelization.]]
* JustAMachine: The warriors of U19 seemingly subscribe to this school of thought.
* KamehameHadoken
* LackOfEmpathy: Freiza and the other villains, of course.
* LamarckWasRight: [[spoiler:U16 Bra]] is so strong because of it.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-355.html At one time]], Vegeta complains that his waiting after his first fight seems to him like two years. Guess how much real time had passed since the fight.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Universe 2 appears to consist solely of this character type.
* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler: Cell does this to himself to avoid being petrified by Dabura.]]
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Tidar, from Universe 19, uses it against Uub. It's about as effective as you think.
* MarySue: [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-284.html She is an actual person]], and she's going against [[DrSlump Arale.]][[invoked]]
** CopyCatSue
** ParodySue
** [[HilarityEnsues Hilariously]] ''not'' GodModeSue.
* MegaCrossover: Applies to the comic, but for U2 it is even more of a crossover fest; a collection of many characters drawn by AkiraToriyama. [[http://bk-81.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2t2urt How many can you recognize]]? In fact, Toriyama HIMSELF appears.
* MeteorMove: Being a DBZ fan comic, this is bound to happen a lot.
* MirrorMatch: One of the chapters has U16 and U18 Gotenks fighting each other, thus causing this trope to be in play. And boy, is it played to the hilt, as the two do the ''exact'' same things.
** So much that when they inevitably defuse, one of the halves has to ''ask'' which of the two other fighters is from his Universe. One of them just gives up.
* MisappliedPhlebotinum: So, you're the only race that found the key to inter-dimensional travel. Well, do something with it! Save the Namek race in places where it went extinct? Save alternate universes from Frieza, marauding Saiyans or other grand threats? Nah, [[RuleOfCool let's make an inter-dimensional tournament!]] Subverted by the fact that these tournaments will gain its winners the prize, [[FridgeHorror but if designated villains win...]]
* [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight Monster Under The Bed]]: [[OverlyLongGag Milked for all its worth.]] Parodies like hell, too; also [[WorldGoneMad one world under Vegetto's will]].
* MrExposition: Piccolo offers a lot of information on the battles while watching from the sidelines.
* TheMultiverse: The opening few comics imply that the Multiverse is infinite and that the numbers assigned to the various realities are for the sake of the tournament alone.
** DBZ:M actually goes against tradition by having the "canon" universe receive a moniker other than "One" or "Prime".
* MythologyGag: Someone allowed [[JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong]] to compete in this tournament. No one is safe.
** Luckily, Tenshinhan looked like Buddah. Guess who eventually defeated the Monkey King in JourneyToTheWest?
* NeckLift: U6 Bojack does this to U16 Pan [[spoiler: before [[NeckSnap crushing her neck]]]] in their battle.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Cptn. Ginyu apparently.]]
* OffModel: Dear God... the Bojack Special, just...[[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/pages/final/0383.png just look]]. [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-394.html This Vegeta]] [[UpToEleven might actually top it!]]
* OhCrap: Jeice gets a BIG one when it's announced that he has to fight Frieza. Yes, ''that'' Frieza. Needless to say, he immediately gives up.
* OldMaster: [[spoiler:Kulilin]] from U9.
* OriginalFlavour: The art style of the tournament chapters are very similar to Toriyama's.
* OverlyLongGag: Almost turned into an arc with the whole [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight monster under the bed]] thing.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Many characters feel they are this after watching Vegetto and Broly's fight.
** Yamcha continues his own RunningGag using this as an excuse. [[GenreSavvy Smart.]]
* PokeThePoodle: Beelzebub, when up against Piccolo, tells him that he is a mere Namekian, while he himself is a true demon. One of Beel's dastardly demonic deeds was ''not'' sharing chocolates with his friends, and eating them ''before'' dinner!
* PoweredArmor: The Heliorians from U19 use them to compensate their lack of ki abilities, and they are INCREDIBLY effective.
* PrecisionFStrike: U13 Raditz makes one during his fight against U3 Bardock, when Bardock becomes a Super Saiyan:
--> '''U13 Raditz''': Oh fuck... that's so unfair!
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Majin Buu.
* RapidFireFisticuffs
* RubberMan: Majin Buu.
* RuleOfCool: Broly was found unconscious and transformed (powered-up) at the same time, which does not happen in DBZ. The authors stated they did that for the coolness, and the readers didn't approve.
* RunningGag: Even when he's got the outcome of the match wrapped around his finger, Yamcha ''cannot'' get past the preliminaries of a tournament.
** "Ugghh... Heal me!"
* SerialEscalation: [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 2 Vegetto, followed quickly by ''Super Saiyan 3'' Vegetto and his colossal "Final Dragon Shine" finishing move. He became so strong his ''mass increased to roughly that of a moon''. And even ''that'' didn't kill Broly!]]
** [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 3 Vegito really, isn't it is known that Goku has access to the Super Saiyan 3 form]], so when you take a Goku and a Vegeta and put them together , it makes sense that [[spoiler: the produce of course would have access to the form. The anime and manga didn't go far enough to necessitate Vegito even needing those forms.]]
** Something more interesting might be how the Vargas constructed a room that [[spoiler: completely blocks out Ki signatures, allowing Cell to produce a second, stronger Cell Junior while murdering his previous one in cold blood]]. Although this may count as [[CrazyPrepared Crazy Prepared]].
*** They also constructed energy shields that can withstand energy blasts from Broly and Cooler.
** The U19 fighters claim that, in their war armor, any one of them could kill Broly with one strike. While it's never revealed if this was quite accurate, it's clear they aren't bluffing: only 1% of Broly's murderous rampage penetrated the energy shield that's protecting the spectators. Xeniloum's Z-slash, however, went through 100%... and he didn't seem to be even ''trying''. The Vargas are naturally freaked out.
* {{Shoryuken}}: How Arale [[CurbStompBattle dealt]] with [[ParodySue Mary Sue]].
* ShoutOut: [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-466.html Page 466.]] [[ThreeHundred That's madness!]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: As the different universes were progressively being revealed, there was surprise, but not an agreement about the unofficial name for U3 (such as U13 being "the Super Saiyans universe"). That is, until Bardock appeared. U3 is now essentially "Bardock's universe with those two guys from the OVAs".
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: The Vargas, who organize the tournament. Also the guys from U19, who rely on technology to fight.
* TakeThatMe: Raditz makes a comment about Dabura "being affected by such a simple technique." The technique in question: the makankosappo.
* TalkToTheFist: Nail does this to Frieza during the Universe 7 backstory.
* TangledFamilyTree: Thanks to U16 Vegetto, the Son and Briefs families are now one.
* TemptingFate: The Nameks at the beginning go out of their way to mention ”[[OhCrap nothing bad can happen]]”. May double as a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial.
* ThemeNaming:
** The Saiyan/Vegetable theme naming continues with Hanasia (some sort of aloe), Mahissu (maize, as in corn), Romanesco (a kind of cauliflower) and Gerkin (like the pickle).
** The Namekian/Snail themes continue with (Es)Cargot, Lumaca (Italian for "slug"), and Gast Carcolh (the former name brings to mind "gastropod", the latter [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Carcolh a French mollusk beast]]).
* TheyKilledKenny: Strangely, despite his acceptable survival rate in the original series, Gohan is starting to become this, due to all the times he gets [[NoKillLikeOverkill ruthlessly killed]] in the specials. [[spoiler:Not to mention Bardock's vision in Chapter 19 of a Vegetto that has attacked and ''might'' have killed Gohan.]]
** Frieza is becoming this too, for similar reasons.
* TranquilFury: Son Gohan. Especially when [[spoiler: his daughter is killed and he can't do a thing about it]].
* TournamentArc: So far, the whole comic (excluding the special chapters).
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler: As implied by the title, Zangya is on the recieving side on one from Son Bra. All it took was one air pressure attack, and Zangya was already dead.]]
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 19 IN SPADES. [[spoiler:King Cold [[OneWingedAngel transforms]] into his never seen third form, and a few pages later into [[BishonenLine his fourth form.]] U9 Videl is seen using the Kaioken. Her sword brokes [[SealedGoodInACan leaving free the U9 Old Kai]]. The mysterious shadow in U3 that had appear several chapters earlier is revealed as Dr. Raichi... Only to immediately appear ''yet another'' unknown shadow in U3... And a few pages later, it's revealed that there's [[SerialEscalation ''even another'']] unseen new character at U3, U3 Bardock, who can even turn Super Saiyan. And, when everyone thought the chapter had long reached its top, Bardock has a vision of a NotHimself Vegetto attacking Gohan and Piccolo screaming that all universes are now in danger, which is then followed up on the next page with Buu in a much less solid state yelling out "This Masquerade ends now!", Freeza revealing that Ginyu might have an important part to play, Goku allying with a Cell Jr. and the Super Namek speaking!]] HOLY SHIT. The chapter title [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin could not be so accurate.]]
** In a much smaller degree, the U7 Special has an in-universe example, when Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan arrive on Namek... their very first encounter with a Namekian is... [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-501.html this]].
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: The Heliorian Ultra armor only works if synchronized with its rightful owner's brain waves. [[spoiler:Will U4 Buu find a way to bypass that security measure?]]
* WhatIf: The basis of all the other universes, sans Universe 18.
* WholeEpisodeFlashBack: Certain chapters retell the origins of various universes. Chapters 8 and 12 retell the Broly stories, Chapter 10 has U12 Trunks reviving Android 16, Chapter 14, 16, and 18 showcase Universes 16, 17, and 6, respectively, and Chapters 20-21 tell the beginnings of Universe 3.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Babidi does this to Dabura.]] It gave us a couple of funny moments, though.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Happens a couple of times. For example, [[spoiler:Bojack does it to Bido, and Cell to his Cell Jr.]]
* YouWillBeAssimilated: Zen Buu attempts this with [[spoiler: [[OhCrap Broly]], but is thwarted by the efforts of U16 Vegeto, Gohan, Bra and the [[GenreSavvy Namek that pushed the button to send him back]] because he didn't think leaving [[NotQuiteDead Broly]] in their universe was a good idea.]]
** Later played straight with Xeniloum's armor.
* UnpleasableFanbase: Slightly justified, but read the comments of Chapters 16-18. Some may argue that the comments are the best part of the webcomic.
** At this point, the DBM community consists of: GT-hating fanatics, power level arguments, and the occasional "stop arguing" or "DBM is poorly-written" crowd. We are very disagreeable. Ironically, talking about anything else is almost taboo.
