💥THE GANG IS BACK!

At least... Apparently DBS gave him his chance.

DRAGON BALL SUPER

Chapter 56: Warriors of Earth Assemble

Even the title is stunning. I mean... the gang is back! The original Dragon Ball isn't dead. But now look at him... In truth, he never stopped getting excited about fighting. Here he's the only one who seems purely motivated. A little reckless, but still cute. That's our good ol' Yamcha.

...how dare you, fool?! I mean, he's one of the very first Earth Heroes! No kidding!

Let him prove it.

Agent Yamcha? Well... It sounds really good. Finally someone who respects his role in this story! I mean... He was Lord Yamcha, the fearsome bandit of the Diablo Desert, one of the best students of Master Roshi, then King Kai, a memorable fighter of the Tenkaichi Tournaments, a loyal friend, a human who has crossed his own nature! I guess "agent Yamcha" is just the minimum... But we make do!

Well well well... Welcome back, Yamcha! You really seem to have remembered who you really are and you can be! You're let it get you down too many times for no reason and this has been your greatest weakness. The only one.

Take your revenge!

This is really touching. He never denied his most famous technique... The one and only Rōgafūfūken! Just look at his fingers put like a wolf fang. I can hear his unmistakable howl!

After all, generally he never denied himself. And his long hair too. I'm so glad they've come back. This is a really important point about his personality. Bulma tried to fix him in many things... Sometimes she has helped him, but other times she has only damaged him. I think Yamcha is slowly retracing his steps to create a better version of himself. Not just a parody.

Oh please... It had been a long time since I had seen him so proud of himself. Look at that cocky pose! Damn, how cute...

Got a real taste. He just realized he can still help and now no one can stop him. Well, sort of. The rest of the chapter doesn't show anything relevant about him. Except for a small part.

We can see Yamcha, but also Tenshinhan, Kurillin and even Chiaotzu, helping Goku with their energy. Like the old days. It's amazing they included them.

Okay, this one hurts a little. It's comforting that Toriyama didn't forget this detail... Yamcha's only wish has always been to get married. Since 1985, when he first appeared. Considering that this line dates back to 2020... It's been a long time, hasn't it? Back then he was a shy 16-year-old boy with many expextations for his future... Now he's a man, he lost so much, but his need for love never changed. So... Does he really have to ask Shenron as he wanted to do so many years ago?! Or worse, wait 1200 years...

Come on, Akira! He doesn't need the dragon balls!

Give him his real chance.

Guys... I would say that all of this is an incredible goal for Yamcha's fans.

He still exists.

He can still make a difference, even a tiny one.

He still can!

GOOD JOB, Yamcha-san! ✌️

FIXING THE MORO & GRANOLAH ARCS

This is a long post. But, here I will rewrite scenes to make the arcs better because there are a TON of flaws & bad writing. Ppl are OOC, abilities get nerfed without explanation, things are said that contradict the entire series (like 17 & 18 not having life energy when they have been shown to donate life energy to the Genki Dama in the original series). And there are things said that have no payoff and end up being pointoess inclusions. So without further ado, here we go.

GALACTIC PRISONER ARC:

Moro's magical abilities stay consitent. Grand Supreme Kai lost most of his godly energy to seal Moro, so that means barely any of it would be given to Uub. Uub is mentioned, but he does not get involved in any kind of way. Vegeta training with the Yardrats does not happen because he doesn't use any of those abilities after that arc, so it was pointless. And most importantly, there is no "Angel in training" Merus in this. We barely saw Goku train with him and didn't see them form a friendship. We are just told it happened & are given a quick flashback AFTER Merus sacrifices himself. (I dont see any value Merus added to the story besides being a plot device that dies, comes back, removed from being an Angel, and is never mentioned again in the following arc. Toyotaro added an Angel but had to make him not Angel so it does not conflict with Toriyama's future plans.) A lot of things only happen in the current manga arc, then aren't shown again. Toyo makes something up that ends up conflicting with what Toriyama has planned, Toyotaro finds a way to backtrack. So here are my fixes...

Jaco comes to get Majin Buu for help. Goku arrives and asks whats going on. Jaco explains that he was told to awaken the Grand Supreme Kai within Buu. He ends up asking Goku and Vegeta for help since they are actually on Earth & not training at Beerus' planet.

They learn about Moro, Moro escapes and uses his magic to drain the life energy of the prison gaurds. Moro also releases the prisoners. Still at the prison, Goku and Vegeta arrive & fight the prisoners but the two end up getting their ki drained and having to retreat to a ship when Moro destroys the prison. The prisoners were all saved by Moro and put in ships. Goku and Vegeta teleported to Jaco's ship.

At this time, Buu awakes and leaves the ship to fight Moro in space. The Grand Supreme Kai emerges. Their magical battle is what makes them somewhat even but in the end, Buu is defeated and Goku has to turn SSB then teleport in space to save Buu then go back to the ship.

Defeated, they plan on what to do next. They decide they need to train with Whis more. Vegeta DOES NOT train with the Yardrats. Instead, he went to train with Whis more, but ends up training under Beerus. Meanwhile, Goku trains under Whis.

The warriors of Earth fight 7-3 and other minions. Jaco ends up buying them time to train. (This can remain the same.)

Moro arrives with his army who are amped up by his magic. But despite this, the Earth's heroes are victorious. Everyone defeats the minions. Gohan & Piccolo defeat 7-3, Krillin defeats the panda bear guy and he and Roshi defeat the 3 fused women, Yamcha beats his dude up, Tien & Chaozu beat the metal man up. And 17 & 18 fight in some battle too.

Moro decides to get his hands dirty himself. Everyone tries to fight him but get beat up by Moro.

An impatient Goku senses the battle and uses Instant Transmission to get to Earth to help his friends. He fights old man Moro using UI principles while in SSG & SSB. He ultimately loses.

Then Whis & Beerus arrive on Earth with Vegeta. Vegeta shows off his Hakai technique he's been working on. He gives old man Moro a scare by destroying one of his arms.

Moro manages to escape, absorbs 7-3, and regains his youth (I dislike the knock off Cell appearance so this will be young ram Moro). Vegeta tries holding him off but cannot do so alone. Goku jumps in to help along with the others. But they all get defeated. Beerus thinks about helping out, but when Goku sees everyone defeated, Goku finally taps into UI Omen.

UI Omen Goku defeats Moro and finishes him for good.

Since the Earth warriors were made honorary members of the Galactic Patrol like Goku & Vegeta were, they are all in a picture with their medals instead of just Goku, Vegeta, & Buu.

GRANOLAH THE SURVIVOR ARC

Granolah and Gas dont learn Hakai out of nowhere. That's dumb. And Gas can't use Instant Transmission either. That's dumb. They only have amplified versions of the skills they currently have. Monaito does not suddenly get his healing abilities amplified. He just does the best he can.

Goku and Vegeta get back to their training. Goku can use UI Omen at will but is training to use MUI. Vegeta is trying to learn more from Beerus. We actually see Beerus use a purple flaming aura.

Goku & Vegeta fight Granolah. Goku goes first. Once he goes SSB, he thinks he defeated Granolah then gets knocked out by him.

Vegeta fights Granolah and taps into the power he saw Beerus tap into. Vegeta manages to win. And Granolah is surprised that a Saiyan does not kill him. Then, Monaito explains how a Saiyan once spared them before. (Not "save" because that contradicts a lot.)

Flashback; There is an invasion on planet Cereal. The people are fighting for their lives against the invaders but they have mostly lost. Then 7 pods crash land on the planet. From there, Bardock and his crew hop out and start fighting as Oozaru since the moon is out. They kill all the space pirates with ease. Then one of the surviving the Cerealians Flayk destroys the moon to stop the Saiyans from slaughtering them next. From there the pirates kill Flayk then go attack the last few survivors as well as attempting to attack the Saiyans. But the Saiyans finish the pirates off. Bardock's crew leaves, but he decides to stay behind a while. He smells something fishy about these pirates and wonders why somebody other than Freeza's army were attacking the planet. So he looks for clues.

Continued flashback; While searching for some sort of information, Bardock sees a passed out Granolah being held by Muesli and Monaito. In fear they ask why didn't he kill them. He says he saw the destruction from space and just wanted a good fight. He wasnt even supposed to be there & he has no reason to do battle with an opponent who won't fight him (referring to Monaito & Meusli). Then, the Heeters show up. Elec has an high-tech eyepatch over his eye that he uses to detect Bardock. It's his version of the scouters Freeza's soldiers use. Elec asks what the Saiyan is doing here & threatens to tell Freeza. Bardock tells him go ahead and tell Freeza how Elec and his family are trying to take planets from him by hiring pirates to wipe the inhabitants out, then sell the planets to Freeza at a higher price. Elec shows irritation. Granolah wakes up and sees Bardock and yells "Saiyan!" Monaito quickly tries to put him asleep & Meusli covers his mouth, but a beam shoots through the house and hits Muesli. That's the last thing Granolah sees before he passes out again. A Saiyan & his mother being struck by a beam. But it was Elec who killed Granolah's mother.

Continued flashback; Bardock then fires an attack at Elec and his family, but its blocked by Gas' barrier. Then, the two fight with Bardock having the advantage until Gas releases his instincts and hulks out. Bardock is losing, but keeps fighting. Meanwhile" Monaito summons the dragon to wish Bardock and himself and Granolah away, but Bardock says to wait. He wants to beat this guy. With great effort Bardock fights and uses skill to outmanuever the "mindless beast" Gas. Bardock wins, but he collapses from exhaustion.

Continued flashback; Elec arrives. He is angry at the defeat of Gas and plans to finish Bardock off himself. When he pulls out his gun, Bardock blasts it out of his hand as he smirks and begins to pass out. In a fit of rage, Elec removes his pendant & releases his instincts. BUT his transformation is not shown yet. At that exact moment, Monaito wished for Bardock to return home and Bardock who was barely concious & only thought about returning home. Then Bardock is gone & the flashback ends.

Then Moaito in the present explains that a furious Elec found him and threatened to kill him and Granolah if he didn't do as he commanded. Monaito explains that Elec was the one who killed Granolah's mother and he wanted to make Granolah his own personal Saiyan assassin, but the Saiyans were wiped out some time after. Granolah angrily takes off his eyepatch that was given to him by Elec. Monaito picks it up & asks why Granolah did that when he upgraded the eyepatch himself & even named it Oatmil. Granolah says he wants nothing from the Heeters. They've lied to him and used him his entire life.

Then, Gas shows up as the new strongest in the universe after a wish was made and fights the heroes. They all get defeated until Granolah unlocks his second red eye (his true power) and beats Gas who just released his instincts, but lost control again. Elec gives Gas a pep talk and Gas controls his instincts. Then Gas slims down and fights Granolah, defeating him. Gas also damages his right eye that is unique to his people. Then, Elec shoots Granolah in the stomach. He falls unconcious.

Goku and Vegeta power up and prepare to fight Gas. Their plan is to make him lose control so they can find openings as Bardock did. They do so while Monaito heals Granolah. The plan is working and they manage to defeat Gas together as UI Goku & UE Vegeta (or some similar form), but are exhausted & depleted on ki.

Next, Elec walks up to Gas. Gas begs for help. Then, Elec pulls out his gun in order to shoot Gas who is now useless to him (kinda a refernece to how Vegeta killed Nappa). But, Goku shoots the gun out Elec'd hand with a ki blast & smirks. Elec gets reminded of Bardock. He tells Goku that there is no dragon to save him this time (as if he was talking to Bardock). Elec takes off his pendant, unleashes his instincts, and transforms. It was foreshadowed in CH 80 page 24 that all the Heeters can unleash some sort of instinct power, so why not make use of that?

Elec pumels Goku and Vegeta while saying he may not be the strongest in the universe, but he can handle two worn out Saiyans like them. (Elec is revealed to have been the strongest Heeter until he wished for Gas to be the strongest in the universe.) Before he can land a killing blow on Goku & Vegeta, a blast is fired through Elec's chest. A barely healed Granolah is using Oatmil to assist his aim and shoots elec with his own gun, killing Elec in a similar way how Elec killed his mother. But, Granolah killed to protect others instead.

They all lay tired as Monaito goes to heal them. He heals Goku & Vegeta a bit, then Freeza's ship appears and Freeza leaps from it. He asks where Elec is and sees him dead on the ground. Freeza says its a pity because he wanted to kill him himself. He "asks" if the other Heeter want to work for him. But before they can answer, Gas, who is still following Elecs orders, rages out and fights Freeza. But Freeza effortlessly kills him. Freeza says he'll ask again. Oil and Maki agree.

Freeza looks at Goku and Vegeta who aren't in any kind of fighting condition. He slightly powers up with a powerful aura then stops. He smirks then tells them that killing them.now wouldn't be satisfying. He plans to defeat them at their best to make them bow to him. He would rather they live with the fact that he is above them once again. (A parallel to how SSJ Goku wanted Freeza to live with the knowledge that a "lowly Saiyan" was now far above him.) Then Freeza departs as he says they will meet again.

Soon after, Whis arrives and heals everyone up. Goku asks if Whis was watching the entire time. He says he watched most of the fight. Then the oracle fish adds that none of them looked like the strongest that would rise. Goku & Vegeta are surprised. Then the two part ways with Granolah & Monaito to return to their training. Monaito says he will make a wish to heal the planet & then deactivate the Dragon Balls. Granolah asks if he can make another wish. It's implied thst he wants the Cerealians to cohabit the planet with the Sugarians like how the Cerealians onces cohabited Planet Cereal with Namekians. But it is never shown.

Boom. Done. It aint the best, but its better than what we got. There is a pay-off to things foreshadowed, subtle references, Bardock's personality isnt changed & he retains his DB Minus/DBS: Broly attitude, Goku isn't being nerfed, Vegeta actually wins with his new form without it making Goku look bad, things remain consistent.

the hell of vegeta swearing to never fight again is that he actually follows through, at least in the beginning.

there are seven years between cell and buu. in every version of the media i’ve gone through--english manga, uncut dub, uncut jp, kai dub--bulma says that vegeta has trained the last five years before the tournament. which can only mean that there was a two year gap right after the cell games where he didn’t train at all.

and like. can you really blame him. his purpose in life has been cut out from under him not once but twice, first by goku attaining super saiyan and avenging their people by killing freeza, and then by goku’s decision to stay dead and deny him the opportunity to surpass him. his strength has proven insufficient time and again no matter how hard he works, overshadowed by a boy half his age. his pride hinges on both of those things and even before that was mercilessly trampled on. he dies on namek crying at the feet of both of his bitterest enemies, begging one to kill the other for his sake, after being thoroughly thrashed in front of an audience of people weaker than him (no basia, i won’t get over this). he has no people. no planet. no purpose, power, or pride. i really do think the only things keeping him going by this point are inertia and spite.

what he does have is has seven years to gnaw on a question that will not let him rest. why is goku so much stronger than he is, being what he is? why is he so inadequate? almost without doubt, this is the absolute nadir of vegeta’s existence: at least, the nadir for the man he thinks he has to be, or can’t reconcile not being. if he has nothing, if the last things tethering him to his supposed innate nature (to borrow a turn of phrase from @kanthia, shameless plug,) are torn away from him, what is left for him to do but accept defeat and submit to change?

what he doesn’t know yet is that that’s okay. he doesn’t know yet, but the seven years that goku is no longer a presence in his life is perhaps the best thing goku could have possibly given him. there’s space for new things to grow where his animosity and aggression burned holes in him. even if vegeta is still focused on nursing the embers of that blaze and ignoring the encroaching growth as hard as he can (bulma mentions to gohan that he’s dead set on making trunks stronger than him, and why would he care about that goal specifically otherwise), he is still beginning to care about things that the old him wouldn’t.

and then.

and then all of a sudden, goku is back in the picture. there is now a window, fleeting as it may be, for vegeta to get some answers he probably thought he’d never get. there is now the terrible possibility that he can put things ‘right’. and goku’s willing to let him take that shot and get those answers, right up until the whole business surrounding buu disrupts everything and then he isn’t anymore.

because the thing is, they were scheduled to fight each other before anybody else. vegeta was not supposed to see the gap between him and goku until he was experiencing it for himself, and then his only recourse would be to demand answers from goku--who would surely give them, to the best of his ability!--or to come to his own conclusions and act from there. instead, he's given time to realize that he’s still inferior, he still doesn’t understand why, and most importantly that babidi is an option. there is a way, at the cost of his will.

submitting to babidi to force goku’s hand and close the gap is the act of a man who knows that he is running out of time. vegeta’s pride would not possibly have allowed this unless he was so desperate for closure that he couldn’t see another way. for ten years he’s been trying to rebuild a sandcastle below the high tide line, and it’s not that he’s too stupid to move farther up so he isn’t freshly shattered at every pass--it’s just that trying to power through in the face of futility is literally all that he knows to do. he has been coming apart, stitch by stitch, his worldview and his preconceptions of destiny and self dissolving under his feet in slow motion ever since he met goku. this is the last chance he has, and he knows it. he knows he’s not going to see goku in the afterlife, even before he asks piccolo.

what the fuck else was he supposed to do?

the beauty of his sacrifice is that he still has the mark of evil on his forehead when he dies, even though he’s bucked babidi’s mind control by that point. he chooses to symbolically and very literally raze his old self to the ground for the sake of all that his new self cares for. WHICH IS WHY, his coming back to life actually narratively works for his character: new growth roots in ashes, phoenixes and sapling trees both.

#vegeta #majin vegeta #dragon ball z #dragonball z #dbz #meta posts #and i'm expected to NOT go apeshit over this?#i'm supposed to know this and remain cool about it?#and man don't even get me STARTED on what moro and granolah arcs do for him #super is good actually. fuck you.#bizarre adventures

💎💎💎 owo

[Owo owo! Bear with me, you're getting Morolai for this one!]

Vio

Queen Morolai curls her lips in disgust. Contempt is clear in her acidic eyes, and she twirls her wrist, claws flashing in the light

"That annoying little worm? He's just like his little crush: thinks he's so special because he's been touched by the light of a golden goddess. If only he got the memo and joined Tristian fully in death if he loved him so much. Silly boys, everyone is touched by the sun, and the sun sets on everyone equally."

She laughs dryly.

"Anyway, he's a pesky little thorn in my side. He can't just leave well enough alone. You would think for a devotee of a goddess of redemption he would try speaking with me... after all, Tristian did betray me and he was a mere empty puppet. Unless. I'm that far gone in his eyes."

She shrugs, rolling her eyes.

"I'll deal with him in time. It's only a mild annoyance."

Aurien

[Now Mino!]

She shivers just hearing the name, though not in any fear or disgust. The mere mention is enough to remind her of their chill.

"Aurien! Someone so kind and yet so cold! So... very... cold. Physically, I mean. My poor scales could've cracked from their hug. Anyway, yes, Aurien was kind and also a kind of mystery, and I'm pretty sure that was intentional on their part."

She suddenly looks a bit wistful.

"They were always so... guarded, you know? I know so much had happened to them that they'd become so desensitized to it all that even the worst new thing was just another bump in the road. They seemed just so afraid of opening up to anyone, really "

A deep sigh lifts her shoulders.

"I haven't heard from them since I became like this. It's like they don't exist anymore... makes me sad."

#oc: minovae arangeir #oc: morolai valduin #oc: vio #oc: aurien #SORRY AURIEN MINO IS A DEMIGOD NOW AND THE DIVINE ARE BLIND TO YOU #she's very upset she thinks aurien is gone #she genuinely liked them and wanted to be their friend #thought they were a good person #As for Moro this is a split second AU cooked up where Vio is trying to avenge tristian #compelled by saranrae to take down this irredeemable monster queen #a veritable dragon slayer arc #ask meme #ask game #pwotr pals

Dragon Ball fandom that read super, why the fuck Goku and Vegeta trains for two/ almost three years non stop without visiting family once? I was shocked reading superhero, that was so unnecessary

#son family #dragon ball #dragon ball super #also quality writing is even worse than usual i am sorry wtf means freezer randomically closing an arc like that #granolah is perfect through #also bardock wishing for both his sons to strive #raditz did really strived...#and people complained about gt #also moro arc was so boring but he was indeed a cool villain #dbs has interesting and cool concepts #tbh i know why goku and vegeta dissapear for 2 years half #so goten and trunks can be the heroes #that is cute but dont need to be THREE YEARS #just them training on whis planet and since they need him to teleport #or maybe they dont anymore?#feel bad for pan #and bulla #trunks goten bulma chichi and gohan are used to their insanity #end rants #tbh is okay i just have to accept they are bad patriarch #but for me isnt that the issue IS THE STORY ITSELF NOT AKNOWLEDGING #people would call it realistic #and yeah this is why i hate it seeing pan being sad and then everything okah because my grandpa was the same always forgetting me

still so pissed off over how they fucked over gas. like, they set up parallels between him and goku - even outright said it in the text that elec is a lot like canon raditz in that he only wanted his younger sibling around to act as a meat shield to protect himself, and that he’d only get tossed aside once he outlived his usefulness - yet they still fucking disintegrated his ass anyway!! he’s has almost the exact same set up as tien, but instead of getting a chance to break away from someone who used him his entire life, he dies in despair after getting abandoned by the one person he trusted. ok.

#mafuba screams #hes also the only villain who absolutely does not deserve the shit he gets #frieza is literally given a chance by goku and refuses thus getting diced up #cell torments gohan tortures everyone for a laugh and gets eviscerated as a result #buu is just. there #everyone else reaped what they sowed #theres also the fact that the other 2 siblings have 0 story presence #it would be great if thats set up for them to revive gas n elec #but somehow i dont think thats the case #sighsss honestly the heeters and moro were such a breath of fresh air #since super is in recap mode atm im just revisiting old arcs lmao

(Note: The following post is a random outline of ideas I made to slightly readjust certain aspects of both the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc of the Dragon Ball Super Manga.)

So for the past 2-3 years, I’ve sometimes been reading up on the DBS manga since I found out about the Moro arc due to various YouTubers such as Totally Not Mark and UnrealEntGaming. But since I started later in the arc, I watched their videos to catch up, and then read the chapters that came out on Viz.

In my opinion, the arc was good out of anything in Super, but still it had its bits of sloppy writing and questioning character moments.

*cough* senzu bean *cough*

So, naturally, my brain came up with fixes for them that don’t alter the entire arc, but rather in ways that improved the story while sticking roughly to what we have in canon. Also, this isn’t supposed a criticism of Moro, it’s a fun and mostly creative writing exercise by rewriting the manga.

With that said: Here we go.

The Beginning:

Still takes place after DBS: Broly and starts with the 2 saiyans training.

Goku is unable to use UI since the Tournament of Power.

Mr. Satan calls about Majin Buu’s kidnapping, thus Goku and Vegeta teleport to stop them.

Merus defeats them and takes them to the Galactic Patrol.

Explanation of Moro and Grand Supreme Kai to Goku and Vegeta.

Everything from the Saiyans joining the patrol to getting their asses whooped on New Namek plays out the same.

Moro’s third wish on the Dragon Balls is the same, but it’s not played out as a dramatic plot twist this time.

Goku returns with the patrol

Vegeta ponders over the skill and potential techniques wield in battle, and decides to go to Yardrat in order to fight fire with fire with Moro as his top priority

The Preparations:

The now-escaped prisoners are collecting planets for Moro to devour.

Goku trains with Merus as original in canon.

Earth is now a target for Moro.

Vegeta arrives on Yardrat; The line about Goku defeating the Ginyus on the planet is cut.

Vegeta now learns under Elder Pybara to learn Spirit Control, the way of manipulating spiritual energy to harvest a plethora of techniques.

Piccolo Vs. The Macareni Gang remains.

While Merus trains Goku, he talks about Ultra Instinct.

In this version, Ultra Instinct is described as one needing emotional stability. Whether you’re enraged, joyful, melancholic, or prideful, UI required the balance between internal emotions and external movements (Mind and Body) to fight to your fullest; You can’t let any one of the two sides grow dominant and hinder that balance. (This is something to come up later in the Granola Arc).

Goku tells Merus about the HTC on Earth, but the officer assures him that training where they are will be just as efficient as on Earth.

Earth Z-Fighters Vs. Android 73, Yunba, and Jeramecha plays out the same. 2 months until Moro arrives.

Merus’ true identity is revealed and Vegeta continues training. Moro senses Vegeta’s new strength and grows excited to fight him again.

Whis interferes to prevent his brother from going all out.

The Battle On Earth:

Plays out the same until Goku arrives.

When Goku activates UI Sign and fights Moro, this state is something that’s not used at free will yet. Goku is sustaining the Mind-Body balance enough to which it allows him to stand a chance.

The reason for Pybara being unable to teleport to Earth is only because Goku has divine Ki active.

Moro powers up and defeats Goku who breaks the UI balance due to focusing more on physical strength.

Vegeta locks onto Goku and teleports to Earth.

The line from Piccolo is altered to “Vegeta should never be one to underestimate someone like Moro.

Goku doesn’t know about Forced Spirit Fission in this version, and the explanation is revealed by Vegeta himself.

Moro, refusing to lose, kills Jeramecha and consumes 73.

Here’s a major change: Moro-73 is redesigned in order to keep his goat-like appearance, but still lets the reader knows that he’s absorbed the android. (Imagine a more muscular Moro with devilish horns, lines in the side of his face, and the Crystals on his hands and head.)

When Vegeta fights against Moro-73, he puts up more of a fight than in canon and gets a few hits, but the Saiyan prince is down for the count when the goat wizard copies him.

Moro copies Piccolo again to explain his regeneration.

Merus frees Dende, and fights Moro. Whis and Beerus get the healed Z-Fighters out of the conflict.

Goku flies towards Merus and attempts to fight Moro-73.

Merus states that Goku‘s training is complete and needs something to maintain control of himself; A final push you should say.

Merus destroys Moro’s crystals and gets erased.

Goku is saddened, enraged, and feels a bit of guilt knowing that he wasn’t able to finish the fight allowing Merus to live. He asks Jaco why Merus joined the Galactic Patrol, to which the officer replies.

The Saiyan starts to calm down, remembering the Angel’s teachings and goes on to merge his raw emotions and relaxed physicality and allows him to regain and a stronger/refined variation of Ultra Instinct Sign.

The Finale:

Goku wipes the floor with Moro

Completely remove the “Senzu Bean” and go straight to Moro breaking his arm punching Goku after the fight.

Moro finds out about Merus and his ability to use UI.

When the wizard copies Merus, he transforms as his hair begins to glow and levitate as his eyes are silver. (Implies that Moro is in UI Sign.)

Moro’s body eventually goes unstable and he merges with Earth.

Vegeta arrives in the nick of time to use Forced Spirit Fission to open up the head crystal.

Piccolo asks Vegeta if the prince can gather energy all in one place like the Spirit Bomb, and he replies with yes.

Vegeta goes up into the sky and prepares a technique nearly identical to the Spirit Bomb, Uub’s divine energy completing the bomb.

Gohan and Piccolo gets Goku out of Moro’s grip, and while Vegeta launches the Spirit Bomb at Moro’s crystal, finishing off the prisoner once and for all.

Berus and Supreme Kai plays as horses with the two Zenos as their punishment.

An award ceremony happens, but Merus is not present in this version, but the Grand Priest still has plans to restore Merus as a mortal and this is told to only Beerus and Whis.

And so the universe has once again been saved, and peace continues to thrive…right??

End of The Moro Arc.

That concludes my rough retelling of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc, with some changes I made that I thought might suit the story a bit better than we got from canon.

What are your thoughts? Do you guys have anything you’d like to add? Do you think I should continue this with the Granola Arc? Feel free to like, reblog, and/or comment.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

💥THE GANG IS BACK!

[COLORED VERSION] 🎨

At least... Apparently DBS gave him his chance.

DRAGON BALL SUPER

Chapter 56: Warriors of Earth Assemble

...how dare you, fools?! I mean, he's one of the very first Earth Heroes! No kidding!

Let him prove it.

Take your revenge!

This is really touching. He never denied his most famous technique... The one and only Rōgafūfūken! Just look at his fingers put like a wolf fang. I can hear his unmistakable howl!

Oh please... It had been a long time since I had seen him so proud of himself. Look at that cocky pose! Damn, how cute...

Got a real taste. He just realized he can still help and now no one can stop him. Well, sort of. The rest of the chapter doesn't show anything relevant about him. Except for a small part.

We can see Yamcha, but also Tenshinhan, Kurillin and even Chiaotzu, helping Goku with their energy. Like the old days. It's amazing they included them.

Come on, Akira! He doesn't need the dragon balls!

Give him his real chance.

Guys... I would say that all of this is an incredible goal for Yamcha's fans.

He still exists.

He can still make a difference, even a tiny one.

He still can!

GOOD JOB, Yamcha-san! ✌️
