...can anyone confirm?

I mean, I read it years ago, I remember Gohan jumping in to fight Xicor and just blasting SSJ 4 out of nowhere like what. And then he got wrecked and he and Vegeta had to tag-team Xicor or something before they locked him up in the Z-Sword for a couple of months.

I think what I read was Before Xicor, with Ize, the son of Frieza. SJ 4 Vegeta, SJ 4 Gohan and Gotenks didn't do shit to that brat. I stopped reading because I was busy and wanted to read something else.

That's Young Jijii's AF; the one that also gave us Super Saiyan 4 Gotenks and a Super Mode for Majuub.

Eh? It's rather tame for fanficfion. Fan fic writers tend to go God-Mode Sue with their heroes and go crazy with random power ups, transformations and such.

Then where is Toyotaro version of AF?

Yeah, honestly, that's fairly tame even for Dragon Ball Z. I mean, we all remember Krillin going Super Saiyan Infinity and scalping Goku after he NTR'd 18 away from him.

No, seriously, that's a thing that actually got written into fanfic, and no, I don't think it was a parody. Also, there's a reason why Brian exists.

[up]...Who's Brian?

And I thought it was bullshit when I read a fanfic where Raditz and Launch's daughter turned out to be a Legendary Super Saiyan (Broly had already appeared in this story). Maybe my standards are too high.

Besides, you wouldn't even find Toyotaro's AF comic by searching that name, because that wasn't his pen name until he got hired to work on the Dragon Ball Heroes manga; he was using Toyble as his pen name prior to that.

It occurs to me, wouldn't Krillin have had 4 months to train with King Kai like Chiaotzu and Tien did between dying to Frieza and getting brought back on Earth?

Like, yeah, his body got blown up, but so did Chiaotzu's.

And, I guess his spirit would have been in Namek's afterlife, for purposes of being brought back, but does that mean that Namek wasn't under King Kai's jurisdiction?

Even if he did, he would've only gotten a minimal benefit, if any, from it.

Krillin, Tenshinhan and Yamcha are all stronger than any "mortal" outside the main cast and the villians, and weaker than the rest of the main characters.

Their relative strenghts? Waste of time.

I can't tell whether Hit became giant or if this is a dream sequence...

Hit confirmed to be a Namekian.

The previews hinted at a "special technique" so this might be it.

To be honest, Hit always seemed Namekian-esque to me. I don't know how the hell everyone thought he looked like Cell.

Kaioken and Spirit Bomb might be nice to know.

They'd be very nice to know, although it's been pointed out that the Kaioken is useless to them because even at the highest level, they'd still be weaker then everyone who came after Frieza. To say nothing of their bodies not being able to take it.

The Spirit Bomb on the other hand....Well, what if three or four people gathered the energy at once instead of just one person? Would that speed up the process? Hell, even though it didn't happen in canon until the end of the Trunks Saga (and we'll ignore how little sense it made for him to even do it), can they absorb the power from the bomb to boost their own strength? Would they be able to withstand it?

Probably not. They're the humans, and their place is behind everyone else. I still find it an interesting question though.

Having four people would probably just produce four weak spirit bombs instead of one big strong one, and we all know that that is bad in Dragon Ball. One in perfection surpasses two in harmony in Dragon Ball.

All the people can't give equal amounts of energy to each of the 4 holders...

Unless they're willing to die in the process.

No no. The idea is that all of them gather the energy for one spirit bomb.

The idea is that four guys gathering the power together would speed up the process.

Somehow, I doubt that it works that way. Even if it did, it'd be pointless since the Spirit Bomb only ever truly worked once and it was backed by Super Saiyan Goku's power.
