I own nothing, otherwise I wouldn't be job-hunting right now, would I? Then again, I don't know if I even want to be associated with these two franchises, since I've grown to utterly hate both of them-yes, I hate Avatar as much as Naruto.

Well, it has come to my attention that a book about Gaara was published not long after this video was released. In it, Kishimoto proceeded to give Gaara all sorts of other abilities that would have tipped the scales even further in his favor than, in my opinion, they already should have been, but enough about that. For a long time, I dismissed the book as nothing more than a cynical cash-grab created in direct response to the hostility towards this video, and while that belief hasn't gone away completely, I've mellowed out somewhat.

I won't go into too much detail about the book, other than the fact that it gives Gaara power over lightning, magma, and metal, or some variation of that. The author of that article on Screwattack, Gaara vs. Toph - What Went Wrong, noted that with such an ability, Gaara could have crushed Toph within the confines of her metal armor (and throwing in a vulgar comment about karma) from a distance or some mumbo-jumbo like that. If you want a big rant about that video, check that article out. I think it's as well-written as the article I already attached to this story.

So, that's my final thought here. Ironically, Screwattack's fear of doing a DB before one of the franchises truly ended came true, and in the eyes of those who disagree with the video, it destroys all of their claims. I've made my opinion clear already, and a number of you, especially the latest reviewer, have made your responses. That particular review was an excellent defense of the video, and while I disagree with everything he said, we kept things civil and the debate ended amicably. That's another problem I have, not just with this video, but with DB in general: so many of the series' fanboys are supremely arrogant and obnoxious about the verdicts, worshiping the hosts as though they were gods and screaming "BLASPHEMY!" at anyone who points out the flaws in the research, even insulting them on a personal level. Some people can keep it civil, but others are just fanboys who are, to use their own language, "butthurt" over the fact that viewers can find flaws in the videos, or what they perceive as flaws.

Do I sound hypocritical when I say this? I don't know, and I hope not. Anyway, bye!

3/8/2016: It's been brought to my attention that Gaara does not have a Magma release: it was actually Magnet Release. He also apparently mastered Wind as a secondary mode of defense. I sincerely thank the reviewer for clearing that up for me, but this correction will not make me decide to read the book because I hate that series so damn much. Still, thank you, TenshinG!

A/N: I do agree with the outcome of the latest fight, Dante vs. Bayonetta, though for slightly different reasons. See Insieme per la vittoria's depiction of this match-up and/or ask him about it. He thought that DB would just give Bayonetta the win, and so did I. We were both surprised. And now Bowser's coming next? Awesome!

Also, I highly recommend going to Deviantart and checking out a number of DB on that site. There are a few stinkers here and there, but for the most part, they're pretty good. Superman vs. Thor and Asura vs. Hulk are two of my favorites.
