Gay porn can also serve as a source of inspiration and education for couples and individuals looking to spice up their sex lives.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere about how much stuff Toyotaro brought from AF and maybe other fan works, but I can’t remember anything right now. Most of that can be found in the Moro and Granolah Sagas since those were mostly him.

I don’t think Xicor is similar to Goku Black at all though. They both just happen to involve Kaioshin. And Ize has nothing to do with Frost whatsoever.

How good is the Dragon Ball Super Manga in comparison to Dragon Ball fan works in general?

More plot holes than well written fanfictions but obviously better art than most fan manga simply by virtue of AT and an artist under his rule working on it.

Its not just borrowing or stealing in my opinion, but also a form of assimilation. A lot of these fan works are rendered invalid by the more mainstream, canon franchise taking and repurposing the stories of multiverse and AF. No one who's become a fan since the series relaunched with BoG is going to spend much time or money outside the approved TOEI works because everything they see will look like a retread or Super, instead of the other way around.

Basically TOEI is the Catholic Church and AF/Multiverse are the pagans. :troll

None of the ideas listed are unique. They are all fairly generic and something anyone could come up with on their own.

I can understand Super ripping off AF though, since Toyotaro worked on both.

Multiverse was nuts back in like 2011 or 2012. I really liked it.

Same. It was especially satisfying because we'd been on a very long DB content drought at the time.
Back when everyone hated GT and Toei and thought a Toriyama return would be epic. :troll

I personally would have ended the series with Dragon Ball Z but I can appreciate all that's come after and the fan works.
