Neko Majin
Akira Toriyama, the creator and artist behind "Dragon Ball Z," published a parody manga called "Neko Majin" that pokes fun at his own creations. In the parody, a rotund cat named "Z" faces a number of foes from "Dragon Ball Z" and even executes his own version of the Kamehameha: the Neko-hameha. At several points in the manga he goes "super saiya-jin;" though nobody exactly understands how due to the fact that he's a cat and not of the saiya-jin race. Though Z is modeled, to a degree, after Son Goku from "Dragon Ball Z," the manga compares him to Majin Buu and even states that he is "the same character, even." The image below shows Z's response to a transformation by Kureeza (Frieza's son, who I don't think existed in the DBZ anime). Since it's a Japanese manga you read the frames and word bubbles from right to left:

ReplyDeleteIn February 2009, Toei announced that they would begin rebroadcasting Dragon Ball Z as part of the series' 20th anniversary celebrations. The series premiered on April 5, 2009, under the name Dragon Ball Kai, with the episodes remastered for HDTV, featuring updated opening and ending sequences, and a rerecording of the vocal tracks by most of the original cast.[38][39] They were also re-edited to more closely follow the manga, resulting in a faster moving story, and damaged frames removed.[40] As such, it is a "new" series created from the original Dragon Ball Z footage.
