Sorry, he wishes to be Saiyan after losing to Vegeta, then starts training after #18 cheats on him with Super Saiyan 100 Goku. Gotta respect the canon.

Pfft, softies. That's hardly uncommon.

Edit: i mean that's clearly a troll fic. 18 cheating on Kuririn is far from the worst thing to come out of it. Heaven forbid exploring new ground with the relationships!

Anyway, I don't think Toei does what Toei does because they like their work. I just think they do it because it's easy. All the movie villains recycled elements of peevious villains because it's easy, so is bringing them back. I don't think the Garlic Junior arc was "damn, we love this guy" but more "fuck, we're out of ideas to stall".

Also the reason for the padding is probably because Super is not truly anime-first. They're adapting Toriyama's original drafts, and he's known for proceasinating. They'll probably need to buy time if Toriyama isn't fitting their schedule.

The other possibility is that they wanted Super to start as soon as possible, but they also wanted the universe 6 arc to start in 2016 for marketing purposes. Who knows.

As for canon: there's only confusion because people are looking for a definitive answer where there is not. Everyone keeps asking a question that no-one official is answering, so fans just end up screaming contradictory answers over each other.

What the hell is the point of a fanon wiki anyway? Besides for self-aggrandizing, I mean.

It's a pretty convenient way of archiving fanon ideas. You know, as opposed to having to READ these actual fanfictions.

Also, yeah. They're hilarious.

They need to reference something like this in the Abridged version.

[up] Pretty much.

But it is a great way of trying to get down your ideas. You make a main page, you make your character pages, you explain what happens in every story and idea you have...

And it adds some faux-authenticity to it, which is always great.

[Krillin] trained for 1 million years in the Chamber until he finally reached Super Saiyan 100. He exited the chamber and instantly killed the Galaxy Destroyers because of his sheer power. He now has the ability to summon Porunga at will and ride him across the universe. In order to surpass Goku's level of power he needed to find someone more powerful than himself.

So he forced Broly and Vegeta to fuse by materializing Potara Earings with his mind. He then had them ride on his personal Porunga and challenged them to battle. After defeating them with his ultimate move, Super-Spirit Destructo-Disc-Kamehameha x1 trillion, he finally grew magnificent golden body hair and became the second-most powerful being in the universe.

He proceeded to rip off Goku's hair and nose in front of Android 18 while screaming "Now you know how I felt!".

I can get wanting to write down your story ideas like that, but then why publish them online instead of just keeping them in a personal doc? I mean, fanfiction at least produces the story in question, a fanon wiki is going and documenting things that don't even exist yet.

But Super Saiyan Infinity Krillin is hilariously silly. And at this point it's hard to tell if that's a joke or what someone seriously wants.

[up] Because the writers of these wikis think their ideas are actually really good and worth broadcasting for everyone to see?

It's not difficult to understand really. These people are under the impression they're writing something good and want to share.

The problem is they think they wrote something good.

Oh, I get that. But why write a wiki page for it as if it's a thing that exists and should be documented, rather than actually making whatever kind of fanfic or fancomic they're imagining it as part of?

I feel like it's skipping a very important step, you know?

It is but there are a lot of people out there who totally have these really great ideas that they're totally going to make a story out of guys and they just really want to get the ideas out there because they're just so great that it'd be a crime if they didn't share them. They'll totally get around to writing that story someday, they're just waiting for the right time.

I don't know why most fanon wikis exist but a wiki seems like the logical conclusion of the entire AF "movement".
