** [[spoiler:The newborn I'k'l]] immediately became one, due to interrupting the tournament again, with an ability that, like Buu and XXI before him, came of as extremely contrived.

* 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.

* EvilIsSexy:
** [[spoiler:Ginyu]], of all people, becomes this once he [[spoiler:steals Bra's body]].
** [[spoiler:Majin Bra]], thanks to constant MaleGaze. Gets some FetishRetardant with her AxCrazy facial expressions and increasing battle damage.
** U4 Buu becomes a CuteMonsterGuy in Chapter 89, where he slims down and wears a classy evening attire.



* FansPreferTheNewHer: Fan reception towards [[spoiler:U16 Bra]] temporarily became more positive once she [[spoiler:became a Majin]], thanks to a combination of EvilIsSexy and LoveToHate.

** Another problem with Bra is the way she's treated in comparison with the villains. Whenever the villains are doing something attrocious they're treated with contempt at best and outright hostility at worst, and sometimes, they don't even need to be doing something bad when characters know how much they're bastards. Bra by comparison only has other characters being frustrated at her but still treated respectfully, and may even get rewarded for her behavior such as [[https://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-369.html#h_read when Vegetto said she passed her test of not killing Zangya]], even though Bra killed Zangya. This is at its worst at the end of the Majin rebellion where everyone is overly forgiven of her actions, with only Vegetto being against her and all of his complaints being treated as wrong (Even when he wonders what they'll do if Bra reaches Super Saiyan 3, that is shut down with a non-answer). All of this can make Bra into a very frustrating character to read about since there's no real commeunpance for her attitude, and by comparison, Vegeta in the original DB manga avoided this in his villainous phases since he was treated like TheFriendNobodyLikes at best, which made his attitude less frustrating to see.

** Bojack snapping [[spoiler:U16 Pan]]'s neck. Cell's [[KickTheSonOfABitch beatdown]] on him was ''very'' satisfying.

* BetterThanCanon:
** ''Multiverse'' was [[WordOfGod made specifically]] to be a better sequel to ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' than ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' was, and for many fans it succeeded in its goal. Some also consider it to be better than ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' to the point of forming a FandomRivalry since it's more hotly debated.
** An in-series example is [[https://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/strip-57.html Minicomic #57]]; where instead of Vegito divorcing Chi-Chi and marrying Bulma, Bulma and Chi-Chi steal his earrings and fuse together to be his wife. Many readers thought this version was more heartwarming and prefer it.
** Many fans prefer Multiverse's retellings of several [[Creator/ToeiAnimation Toei]] films, such as the [[Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan first]] [[Anime/DragonBallZBrolySecondComing two]] Broly movies and the [[Anime/DragonBallZCoolersRevenge first Cooler film]]. ''Cooler's Revenge'' is particularly notable, since Cooler actually puts up a terrific fight against Super Saiyan Goku in the ''DBM'' version instead of [[CurbStompCushion only using his Supernova]].
** It is generally agreed that the comic's interpretation of Raichi as a tragic AntiVillain is a vast improvement over the cookie-cutter [[MadScientist mad scientist]] he is in his [[Anime/DragonBallPlanToEradicateTheSaiyans anime of origin]].
** Pan was redesigned from her [[Anime/DragonballGT counterpart]] and her U18 incarnation is given more similarity to child Goku.
** Babidi was TheScrappy in canon for being a whiny DirtyCoward who only got as far as he could due to others idiocy. Here, U11 Babidi is shown to be a much more competent villain who for the most part avoids grabbing the VillainBall.
** Within the comic itself, Arcady Picardi's [[https://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/strip-94.html brief]] [[https://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/strip-95.html draft]] [[https://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/strip-96.html of]] the battle against [[spoiler:Majin Bra]] has its fans due to the fighters attacking [[spoiler:Majin Bra]] all at once instead of following MookChivalry.
** Also, within the comic itself, Argelios' edits of pages 1827-1829 [[https://i.postimg.cc/MwPFPWDS/1827V2.png are]] [[https://i.postimg.cc/jKDkBGgJ/1828V2.png seen]] [[https://i.postimg.cc/ZZXDmV2s/1829V2.png as]] better than the original. In the official version, the characters (Gotenks in particular) shift all the blame onto [[spoiler:Vegito]] for [[spoiler:U16 Bra]]'s actions and make him out to be the bad guy. In Argelios' edit, everyone is rational in discussing it, and [[spoiler:Bra declares she's at fault and will accept whatever punishment they want to give her... ''after'' the tournament, because she still needs to win and fulfill her promise to Universe 19]]. Salagir himself saw these pages and praised them for being well-written, but said they aren't the direction they want to go.



** With ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', due to both of them being fan-made projects which some fans believe are BetterThanCanon due to addressing or improving on issues fans found contentious. It's common to see fans in the comments section to quote the ''Abridged'' series. The camaraderie only grew when Grant from Creator/TeamFourStar acknowledged ''Multiverse'' in one of their ''Xenoverse 2'' playthroughs.

** Despite only making her first appearance during Gast vs Raichi, Phipsil from Universe 19 gathered a sizeable fanbase for being a badass and attractive ActionGirl CombatPragmatist, with many calling her an MVP during [[spoiler:the Majin Rebellion]]. The creators themselves recognised this, given that she appears more frequently on chapter covers and even in one of the spin-off comics.
