This Subscriber has been pushing for something with Beerus bottoming for a while. The biggest obstacle to this was that their Asks and such mostly hinged in this premise of swapping roles to train Beerus. Since Beerus isn’t the one who trains Goku and Vegeta, it never made much sense to me to use those questions. For Scenarios I have a bit more wiggle room to play with, however, so I basically abandoned that element of the scene to instead fork in dialogue about the character who’s actually training them, Whis, who I’ve already drawn with all three of these characters at different points.
When the second match of the Tournament of Lust began, there was a little bit of bemoaning the loss of a potential Vegeta vs. Krillin round. While Vegeta and Krillin do share a lot of screentime together in DBZ, I’m not personally super high on doing much with them together. I figured touching on the pairing a bit couldn’t hurt, though, so here’s a brief interaction.
Omni-Man and Vegeta are two of those characters who you just see compared a lot, and with good reason. I’m pretty sure Omni-Man would have no problem with the bulk of the Saiya-jins in the Studio, given how many of them are from an earlier time and not up to DBZ standards. I didn’t want to commit to how he’d look at, like, Shugesh or Raditz or someone, though, so I’m limiting his sample size. I think even if Vegeta outright bested him he wouldn’t fully admit it, but at the very least there should be some begrudging respect there.
Here’s page five of our monthly SubscribeStar Bi Ongoing! There were only two scripts submitted for this month, which were fairly similar to one another, but I did my best to pull from both as we move into the real meat of this comic.
Finally, here is the last page focusing on the first match of our little tournament here. This should now give us a pretty good idea of how long this comic will be running, and… yeah, it’s gonna be a long one. I’m looking forward to it, though, and I hope to get started on the first page of the second match-up soon!
This is the One-Shot comic for May 2024. It’s a sequel of sorts to the February 2020 One-Shot, which was submitted by the same Subscriber. In that comic Bra and Pan traded their brother and uncle, respectively. This one’s a more direct swap of their dads. The script didn’t specify anything about which designs to use, but I wanted to go with distinctly recognizable GT looks, which is why Vegeta has his mustache and Gohan has his glasses despite these not really being present for the majority of their appearances (to my memory).
