Fellow DBF fans! Before I post a new episode of my fanfic, I would like to add some explanations of some things regarding my fanfic, which you should read before reading any further episodes. Also, I decided to revise all of my previous episodes again to make some improvements and correct any errors I might have done, including grammar and spelling errors. Don't worry, I won't make changes to the story, but I will add some explanations where it's needed in order for future readers to understand my fanfic properly; and for those who by now already read my fanfic, I will add the explanations here as well, so they wouldn't have to re-read it all again. This will take some while, so my new episodes will be delayed until I finish revising.
So, here we go...
As you may know, there are many differences between the anime and the manga, and there are many fillers as well (for example, in the manga, Hell isn't shown at all, and even Pikkon himself is just a filler character). I could make a big list of examples, not to mention, a bigger list of plot holes, but for that, you will have to do the research for yourself, as I'm here to talk mainly about my fanfic. Most of DBZ fans watched the anime (like myself), instead of reading the manga, which is why I will also include the fillers in my fanfic and follow the story as shown in the anime.
Here's a good question: when Cell ended up in Hell, how come he didn't just use the Instant Transmission in the first place to get out of there? Best answer found on the Web: "Because when you're in Hell, you don't retain your physical body, only your spirit, so you're a lot weaker." That would explain why did Goku and Pikkon beat the bad guys so easily after the Cell Games Saga. But in my fanfic, they actually train to become stronger, so when they're bought back to life, their power increases a lot. Although neither in the anime, nor in the manga, it is ever explained why Goku and Vegeta never visited their dead fathers, in fact, they might have, but never been shown. Well, in my version of the story, King Yemma placed the Saiyans nor in Heaven, nor in Hell, but rather created them a planet similar to Planet Vegeta on the Other Word, so they could continue their training forever. There, they could also see what was going on in the living world. These explanations will be also added in episodes 19 and 34.
Recently, I've been asked by a new fan of my fanfic, that how come the Z Fighters could make another wish on the same day, after they defeated the villains on New Namek? Shouldn't the balls have turned to stones and remained that way (the Namekian balls 130 days, while the Earth's balls a year)? Indeed, I forgot to mention that, after Moori and Dende made both set of the Dragon Balls more powerful, they also made that now they could summon the dragons at anytime, whenever the balls were gathered. I also added this explanation in episode 16. And although I said, I won't modify the story itself, I still made some modifications in the same episode. Here's a quote taken from Shepo: "It will take seven years for the Dragon Balls to fully recover But still, you will be able to summon Shenron and Porunga separately, but during seven years you will only be able to summon them once a year. Also, their wish granting powers will have limits, until the seven years are up. Although, the Dragon Balls won't turn into stones, the stars on them will turn black, indicating they are inactive." So I changed the years from 77 to 7, and 7 to 1. It is Dragon Ball after all, so the Dragon Balls and the dragons should have more roles, don't you agree? This was also suggested by a fan of mine (he knows who he is:).
If you ever wondered, why did Gohan suddenly turned into a Super Saiyan in episode 28, well the answer is quite simple: if you thought that he trained less after the Cell Games, then after Boo's defeat, he hardly trained at all; he was too preoccupied with his students in the university. So, he just simply lost his potential given by Elder Supreme Kai. Now, he can transform into a Super Saiyan again, thus being able to achieve Super Saiyan 3. It will also be explained later in episode 45 by him, when Trunks asks him the same thing.
I also forgot to mention (which now I did in episode 28) that after Goku and Vegeta de-fuse again, they get their tails back again. Speaking of tails, I mistakenly made Mizuna's tail black, for some reason (I don't even know why myself:), which I will correct after I re-draw her. Oh, and by the way, Scratch, Dr. Brief's cat is still alive, if you ever wondered. Not that it has/had any importance, but maybe I will write a cameo appearance for him...and not just for him. I will be adding more cameo appearances of characters of whom you might have forgotten from both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
I am truly sorry if I have caused you confusion with all these additions, but I really do wish to make this story right. This last week, I've done nothing but thinking carefully about the plots of my story, of how to continue and end it right. I definitely thought it trough it, and now I have an approximate idea of things. I've done a lot of research on the Net, read many opinions, about the differences between the anime and manga, the plot holes that have been made, so I could end the whole Dragon Ball series once and for all a proper way. This also proves, that Akira made a lot of mistakes too, regarding the story and of how many contradictory things happen in the story/the characters say at one point. That's why it's so hard to make it right. But then again, Akira didn't write the series to be taken so seriously; he wrote it just for fun, and that's what I'm doing too, and you, the fans, should also take it more lightly.
After all these said, I hope that you won't give up on me yet and continue supporting me. And if you notice anything else wrong with my story, please notify me as fastest you can, so I may be able to explain, or if it's necessary, correct it. It will definitely be a long journey until I finish it. I might even recommend you guys to check in only after two years, after it's completely done, but that's your decision entirely. Now I am ready to continue writing my fanfic, and the episodes will arrive very shortly, within a few days. I have already written episode 53 and even episode 54, mostly.
Wish me luck and enjoy!
