#DBZ Chapter 77

[everymangavegeta]

They call this "assisted suicide"...

[kyriolex]

So uh I don't know if you actually read Boruto Manga Spoilers but.....

HOLY SHIT!!!

This is a MASSIVE game changer for the series going forward!

The Uzumaki Family certainly will not be the same after this!

Most fascinating part tho? This Chapter was for Himawari what last month's Chapter was for Sarada and Sumire.

Eida and Daemon are in trouble... 😈

The chapter was definitely a win for Himawari fans. I read somewhere that Himawari is the Gohan of the Narutoverse - the protagonist's progeny with godlike combat potential and zero bloodlust. If you're foolish enough to make her mad, you deserve whatever is coming to you.

As for Hinata fans...oof. I mean, we DID wish she'd get more involved in the plot, but not like that.

Best DBZ Fights #6

Vegeta & Trunks vs. Cell

Manga: Chapters 183 - 193, Volumes 16 - 17 Anime: Episodes 155 - 165 (Kai: 77 - 82)

This battle is memorable for just how many swerves it took. It starts with Vegeta, halfway between Super Saiyan and Ultra Super Saiyan, curb-stomping Semi-Perfect Cell, only for him to then agree to let Cell absorb Android 18 and obtain his perfect form so that he can have a better challenge to overcome. Trunks then fights against Cell and his father to stop this from happening, but fails. In his perfect form, Cell then proceeds to curb-stomp Vegeta right back, prompting Trunks to go full Ultra Super Saiyan and intervene to save his father's life. The ensuing battle has Trunks surpass Cell in raw power, only for his speed to take such a significant reduction in the process that he can't even land a blow on Cell. And to top it all off, Cell doesn't kill Trunks but instead tells him and his friends to get stronger so that they can compete against him in a tournament! You see what I mean? Curve ball after curve ball!

Theme Customization Notes

All right, I did some testing, and determined that if I add a page to my blog, I can only put 249 links on it.   If you do more than that, you can still save the page, but it automatically removes all of the links, including the first 249.

This is irritating, because what I wanted to do was to make a permanent page on this blog, such that you could click on it, see a list of numbers, and be taken the corresponding post I wrote about that episode of Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z.   I think I can still do this, but it looks like I’ll have to break it up into at least three pages, which seems kind of cumbersome to me.     

My mistake with this was in thinking that I could just edit the page casually, adding links one by one and hoping tumblr would be stable enough to save them for me.    What I need to do instead is write all this up in html in a .txt file, and that way I can paste links in and make sure everything is safe before moving on.  So I need to plan this out better, and I may as well write out what I want to do here. 

1. Make permanent index of 2019 Dragon Ball Liveblog.

Copy all links to posts, tags, etc.   

Probably need to divvy these up into “Dragon Ball 1-153″, “DBZ 1-199″ and “DBZ 200-291 + Movies”

It’d be nice to toss some images on these, if only to fill out the page a bit.  

2. Rewrite the permanent Luffa page. 

I wasn’t planning to link to each chapter, since AO3 already has it organized for me, but now it’s clear that this would be a real bear to do.    At least the damn thing isn’t 250 chapters ha ha... right?    Right?

I think the current version is just a brief synopsis of the story and links to the first 30-odd chapters, grouped into story arcs.    I probably did all that before I started cross-posting to AO3, so it’s all way out of date and redundant.  

A better use of the space would be to describe the character and premise in greater detail.   Who is this, what is this about, stuff like that.   The most popular Luffa content on tumblr is the screenshot of her scolding Raditz for not training his tail.    #2 is the one where Vegeta tells her about all the freaky-deaky D/s stuff he does with his hot alien wife.    #3 is probably that hot dog bit.    Some context is probably needed.

I’m thinking maybe a list of one-shot chapters as sort of the sampler platter for the big fic.   Off the top of my head, 1, 16, 21, 77, 82, and 100 all fit the bill reasonably well.   Also the one where she chugs a glass of raw eggs.    I forget which one that is.  Twenty-four-ish?   I’d have to check for others, which means re-reading my own work... ugh.

Break the story down into “sagas”.   I hate using the term, but this enormous bastard is almost big enough to justify it.  Anyway, this will make it easier for people to keep track of where they are, as well as appealing to the much-coveted Part-Skipper demographic.

Really, what would be helpful, to me at least, is to go through the tags and sort out everything.    Separate the fic proper from meta ramblings, Xenoverse posts, and reader feedback.  

3. Other stuff.

I don’t really have anything planned, but I feel like there needs to be other permanent pages on the blog, like it’s bonus content or something.   Like, maybe just a gallery of some sort, or some sort of easter egg type thing.    Not that it’d be hard to find, but I figure most people view blogs through their dashboard, so someone would have to go out of their way to click on whatever this would be.
