Dragon Ball Multiverse

Oh yeah, he started gloating. That's never bodes well.

That horrifying image of Cold coming out in that six-armed form as a baby...

"What he doesn't (or shouldn't) get is any satisfaction from it."

That would be true if we were talking about a prideful fighter like Cell, but Cold is entirely in it for the wish(es); it doesn't matter to him that he isn't winning through being the greatest fighter in the multiverse.

If the organizers offered him and his family the prize without going through the finals, he'd be gone minutes later.

So even if he wins through trickery, he's going to be plenty satisfied by it, and "Haha, the stupid monkey got themselves in a situation where they're losing entirely because they aren't as smart as me." is plenty reason to gloat.

That said, if Bra is winning this round we'll probably see a Kaioken next page.

That's not his original form though, the white one Frieza took when he fought Goku on Namek is. He just learned how to do the transformation that Cooler did and then some thanks to Buu.

If I were to make the folly of trying to apply logic to a manga battle involving parallel universes and a wad of sentient bubble gum that can do magic, I'd say that the Frost demons have unstable genetic code that allows them to mutate into all sorts of new forms throughout their lives.

But then the restriction forms wouldn't be intentional, that'd just be that code going rampant. It'd be like the opposite of the Saiyans, their bodies are gradually weakening them with every mutation.

Me - I'd be amused if it was part of their parasympathetic system. When Freeza or Cold are agitated or in danger, their stronger forms flare up and when the danger's passed, they'll regress automatically.

You know, I find it weird that none of the cast other than the Saiyans have transformations (in canon or non). Considering Frieza can just pull a new transformation out of his ass, humans can have all sorts of impossible powers (including turning blonde and getting more aggressive and dangerous), I'm surprising that Toriyama never invented a transformation for anyone else.

Well, surprised isn't the right word, given, you know. But disappointed.

Tired already?

Look at that arrogance, thas just the kind of thing that makes Bulla such a likeable character.

It actually says a lot that even in spite of that, people still want her to lose to dis cold guy...not even lose in general.

....would this honestly be improved if she looked scared? Cockiness is almost a stable of Dragonball fights, even Trunks took the time to rile Frieza up some.

Besides ol' Veggie, most DB characters tend to show some amount of fear if they're on the losing side of a battle...if they aren't scared, then at least they show more determination to win...or they're just angry they can't do anything and don't want show fear.

"Determination to win" =/= What Bra is doing?

Beside that, she's not really losing. All she has to do is level up once and she's the big spoon. Freeza did the same.

Level up?

Whenever someone uses Kaioken, they refer to it in levels.

Bulla here isn't showing determination...she's trying to play it cool and doesn't want to admit that this Cold guy is actually giving her a challenge. I don't think she's gonna lose...

Reason I don't think Cold is going to lose:

Bardock's vision from earlier. He saw Cold wounded in his final form. What are the odds that Cold will revert to his 'normal' state upon being beaten? On top of that, Bra would have few compunctions about killing Cold.

And while overall Bra's nastiness isn't excusable on account of her being raised by a loving family, her overconfidence/arrogance is very much a Vegeta trait.

The current artwork is slightly better than the artwork of those set of pages...this webcomic has come a long way.

Currently I want to see cold get knocked down a few dozen pegs since he is just as arrogant. Bra won't win the tournament since she has the hardesr side of the bracket.

Remember Bardock had that vision of Cold in a healing pod and very roughed up. Assuming that happens following this fight, even if he does win he won't come out of it unscathed.

Looks like Bra's trying to pull off some Deadly Dodging.

If Bra was smart she would just put an end to this fight quickly with a warp kamehameha.

Cold made it clear her punches didn't hurt him, and we don't know how effective her Ki attacks would be.

He said that, but he still got a bruise from a single punch, so he probably just talks big.

At the very least a Warp Destructo Disc should work.

Warp Kamehameha blew the top half of Perfect Cell off. None of Goku's blows even scuffed him, and he had a much harder time hitting Cell/avoiding Cell's hits than Bra is with Cold.

So it should be enough to outright kill him. But the issue is that the technique takes a long time to charge, both because the Kamehameha has to be charged long enough and the teleportation takes a lot of concentration.

For Goku, anyway... Bra has Kai Kai, the Kaioshin method of transportation, which doesn't require locking onto ki signature to teleport.

So she could just teleport out of the ring, begin charging, teleport within sight if it would take too long, until she's ready to kill him.

Which completely kills all tension but what do you expect from someone with an objectively superior version of the main character's most useful skill?

Oh right, I forgot all that. Guess you were right Shlugo.

Where was it said she had Kai kai? I don't recall seeing that anywhere.

Cause if so, then fuck that.

Though now that I think about it, she was able to teleport that one dude into space, which should be impossible since there was no one around in space, which means there's no Ki for her to lock onto....

Fuck. She does have it.

Okay, how did she even get the Supreme Kai to teach it to her anyway.
