Ya know, it's funny.

If it weren't for that old SSJ5 fanart from that Spanish Hobby magazine, then we wouldn't have that Dragon Ball Super manga everybody loves.

Or, even more terrifying: Putting in one room Dameon Clarke, Crispin Freeman, and Takahata101.

[up]How so?

In the Spanish magazine Hobby Consolas, a person named David mailed in fanart of a Dragon Ball oc named Tablos with the moniker "Dragon Ball AF".

Online, everyone mistook Tablos for a SSJ5 Goku, which lead to many fanfics and dojinshi.

One of the more popular ones was made by a person under the username Toyble. He kept doing his DBAF fan manga until 2011, when people from Shueisha (the publishers of Jump manga) approached him.

They offered him a job, making a manga based of the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes, which is known as Victory Mission, the latest chapter came out last month.

After doing the DBHVM manga for a while, he then did a 3-chapter adaptation of Resurrection F, and now is currently doing the Dragon Ball Super manga.

And that's how it went from Super Saiyan 5 to Super Saiyan Blue.

Or, more realistically, someone else would have got the job.

...I'm still surprised by the fact that Super Saiyan 5 Goku was never actually a thing, and that it was just the internet making a colossal mistake.

I didn't happen to any extent that I care about. Just in Toei's personal fan-animation. No more real and canon than Absalom or Multiverse.

...it's an official anime dude, you're just in denial right now.

Off-topic a little, but I just saw a Pokemon video that had hacked Goku into one of the Gen VI games as a battlable trainer. He had four Pokemon who straight up started in their Mega Evolutions; Altaria (Nimbus), Sceptile (Piccolo), Lucario (Vegeta), and Rayquaza (Shenron). He also had an Infernape named after himself, and a...Level 92 Squirtle named after Krillin.

It happened, but Xenoverse went "Yeah, it totally happened... in an alternate timeline", so everyone's going with that.

[up]Was that Squirtle shiny? You know, on account of Krillin waxing his head 'n all.

That's pretty much how I've always regarded it. GT is the Toei or Anime Timeline/Continuity. It's nice there is now something kind f official on this.

Ooh, ooh! I just thought of something when discussing how Goku blatantly usurped Gohan's role as Hero in Buu Saga.

Is there any reason why,after everyone was revived, Goku didn't IT to Earth, grab Gohan, bring him back to the Kai planet, and have Gohan one-shot Buu? There might be a reason or two I can't recall but Gohan could certainly finish off Kid Buu more certainly than the Spirit Bomb or even SSJ 3 Goku.

[up] Nope. When Vegeta makes the wish to bring everyone back, Goku goes "Oh, you want me to grab Gohan and let him finish this." Vegeta just goes, "Nope. Spirit Bomb" and Goku's like "Okay, Spirit Bomb."

Dragon Ball AF were a clever series of pastiches a few too many fans started taking seriously. But some of those fans did make some seriously enjoyable work, or at least more enjoyable than GT, so I'm glad at least one of them got a job drawing Dragon Ball.

The newest Super manga chapter got translated.

An holy cow, there's some incredible info that was missed when the raws showed up. Apparently Bulma's boobs are starting to sag! surprised

Meanwhile for Sayians even 80 years old is considered young.

Bulma should gather the Dragon Balls and wish for youth.

Wait, wasn't it that Saiyan's lived as long as humans, but experienced an extended active period, before a quick degeneration by the time they hit their twilight years?

It was something like that. Obviously they just changed it again. Either that or Goku got it wrong or Mangastream translated it wrong.
