Made me look back at The Magic Begins, which was pretty badass in its own right. Goofy and inaccurate, but entertaining.

The Dragon Ball Full Color manga release has finally continued to the Namek/Frieza Arc.

At least, it did on Comixology.

It's the manga version I use.

The more releases it gets, the more I can be that irritating person that extensively references the manga!

About the 1000 tons thing. Remember that giant water can Goku was using back in the first episode? Someone calculated that so much water would weight like 40 000 tons, and Goku was carrying it around casually.

I'm kind of surprised the fans figured out who this guy was. I guess his name is in credits. Still, that's a ridiculously sad amount of dedication they'd need to track him down.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Doxxing someone is, like, the first tool in the repertoire of the "Outraged Assholes" parts of the internet.

It's one of the most bitter ironies of the net: those who champion Net Anonymity the hardest are those most willing to violate it. Places like Reddit and 4chan are adamant about the importance of anonymity, but only so they can treat it as a privilege to be taken away the moment a person enflames the mob's ire.

Maybe so, but losing internet anonymity would still be bad for everyone.

Only for people who have something to hide.

Which, of course, is a category that includes people who would be put to death for their opinions in countries that do not support the freedom of speech such as China; the universe does not revolve around the United States. It's not all black and white; some folks have very good reasons for hiding things.

There's also people who would be fired from their jobs, and that one applies to the United States, as well. It also affects people who hold unpopular opinions, people who are online able to be open about their sexuality, kinks or fetishes - all sorts of stuff that doesn't involve anything criminal or even morally reprehensible.

People are assholes, and people have proven that even with anonymity being a thing, they'll still go out of their way to harass others. Imagine making it easier by stripping away the thin shield of 'well I can't get off my ass to find out this person's real name'. Now everyone and their mother would be sending death threats.

Now you're arguing against points no one has raised. Tobias Drake, you are drunk!

There should be an episode where Trunks is playing video games online and to find to find one of his opponents after they insult his mother, to no avail. Then the offender can be an Asshole Victim when and if Super goes back to having villains again.

I wonder how major DBZ characters (Goku, Vegeta, the major villains, and the gods) would think of the cosmic beings in Marvel? Especially the high-tier ones like Dormammu, the Living Tribunal and the Beyonder?

As ridiculous as DB's escalation is, Marvel is several hundred steps ahead. The Tribunal, the Beyonder, and Mikaboshi wouldn't even need to try.

Dormammu would universally be seen as an asshole, he'd motivate Goku/Vegeta to train harder than ever. The villains would probably dread him and flee at any hint of his arrival, except for Super Buu, who'd begin devising schemes to take his power, kill him or both, and Small Buu, who'd probably bum rush him on sight.

Living Tribunal, Goku would probably ask for training and Vegeta would cower in fear of. There's not a whole lot to do with him besides stare in awe while silently cursing God an Oscar statue is the closest thing you'll ever see to him, really. I could see Perfect Cell being insolent enough to call him out on his short comings and weaknesses, though he'd probably think twice about the whole ending the universe thing. Super Buu too, depending on who he's absorbed, though again, he'd probably think more carefully about his activities.

Beyonder, well that depends on which Beyonder. The old Beyonder is like Living Tribunal without weaknesses or a day job, so yeah, he'd have everyone playing games for his amusement. Goku and Vegeta would probably dislike him but begrudgingly admit he knows how to show them a good time. Then again, old Beyonder let Dr. Doom "defeat" him so he might say, screw with Vegeta by making him think he really is the strongest in the universe or let Freeza think he gained immortality. Retcon Beyonder would just be a mildly tricky opponent and or quirky guy to go to when there is a problem that can't be solved by hitting something really hard.(even then, Dragon Balls would probably do it better, but they're limited use)

If Omni-King really can destroy all twelve universes that he could probably beat Dormammu and Mikaboshi and at least make the Beyonder expend effort.

I am absolutely not exaggerating, however, when I say the Tribunal could still end him with a sneeze.

I imagine Frieza devising a scheme to steal the Beyonder's powers and (if he succeeds) giving a speech about how he has become all-powerful.

Frieza: Oh ho ho ho! What INCREDIBLE power! Beerus and Whis are insects compared to me! Now I'll be able to extend my might across ALL worlds!

Of course if he pisses the Beyonder off, he'll be begging for mercy like a bitch.

I wonder how the Gods (Beerus and Whis) and Kais would interact with the Living Tribunal and react to the Beyonder?

Actually, Mikaboshi is far more powerful than that; even before his ascension he was able to easily kill gods as powerful as Zeus, and when he ascended to become the Chaos King, he essentially became an abstract level entity. The only reason he lost was because of BFR, due to the protagonists being ultimately unable to wound him; this includes Hercules, who had become an abstract level entity himself by that point.

I forgot read over the part where I was supposed to write the take of the gods.

Well, yeah, not much different for the Kais we've seen, they'd probably hate and fear Dormammu in the same manner they did rFreeza/Majin Buu. Beerus and Whis would probably just hate him but be more annoyed than afraid.

The gods would probably wouldn't care to much about the Tribunal so long as it doesn't pop up unannounced.

Beyonder is still a question of retcon. Before, they'd probably be desperately trying to think of some way to stop it. Luckily the Beyonder is not omniscient. If an Earth tribe could figure it out after thousands of years I'm pretty sure the gods with super dragon balls could come up with something in the same amount of time, till then they'd be staying out of its way while it played with mortals. After retcon they'd be ones playing games with the oblivious Beyonder, though the regular Kaio would still have to stay out of its way.

[up]The Tribunal showing up unannounced could lead to some pretty funny moments though. Like Beerus and Whis are just enjoying a cup of tea or something then suddenly the Tribunal shows up declaring "I HAVE COME!" and Beerus angrily responds, "WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT?!".
