    Default Crisis On Infinite Earths: Manga Style

    How would the Crisis go if it took place in the world of manga?

    Who would fill in for the Anti-Monitor? What heroes would come to the forefront, and would they be able to take down the Anti-Monitor's manga equivalent? What if we used the original Anti-Monitor anyway, would the manga heroes/villains be able to put aside their differences and come up with a winning strategy?

    Well..which manga universe? Or did you mean all of them? Since that's a lot of characters to take into consideration.

    Maybe someone like Super Buu from DBZ could be the AM. Obviously he's nowhere near as powerful, but they could come up with something like him finding a way to absorb entire universes into him as a way to get him closer to that level. Or maybe something like he absorbs the dragonballs and they grant him reality warping.

    Pretty sure the entire absorbing of dragon balls don't really make the absorber a reality warper. Omega Shenron was essentially just that.. yet he wasn't exactly conjuring up panties on the fly the way Shenron himself was.

    The image of The Anti-Monitor sweat dropping while Barry tap danced around his cannon is now burned into my brain.

    Is it even possible? It's not like there's a Dragonball Earth 2 or something.

    Always DBZ... really people Manga has way more powerful villains out there.

    I put forth Chronos (Saint Seiya). Featwise, he's a sentient galaxy that can rip your body to pieces and sent you light years away (plus time dump you). He nearly does this to Athena, a goddess on the same level as Hades. Hades being a guy who creates his own universe, easily moves planets with his mind and has underlings that snipe you from galaxies away.

    By narrative (key word), high ends saints can galaxy bust. Hades can effortlessly stomp them, and Chronos is further above.

    edit: Also to the ones trying to pick out one manga universe for this to take place in, pretty sure he wants us to use all in massive crossover style.

    I'm gonna go with the Anti Spirals to fill in for the Anti Monitor. Which is gonna be pretty bad, since they're gonna have massive access to everyone else's tech. I'm seeing Chronos being used as a projectile at some point, and the only way to really put them down being to cast the Giga Slave...right at the core of the Cathedral Terra(though I doubt that even the TTGL could sustain drawing power from the Sea of Chaos for very long...though it might be possible with hybrid Washu/Skuld tech)

    Wouldn't it be insanely funny if the universe was saved by the Ham-Ham Bunch (Hamtaro) running loose inside the dimension-merging device?

    Could be worse. The multiverse could be saved by EBICHU...

    I'd go for Gail from Project A-Ko Blue vs. Gray to fill the Anti-Monitor role. Trying to collapse the multiverse using an unstoppable dragon god was his original plan, so this gig's right up his alley.

    Technically there is, what with Future!Trunks creating an alternate timeline.

    Also, the timeline that Cell was from, as well as Dragonball Online having another Future Trunks who was a timecop or something.

    Why stop with DBZ? There are several Gundam Alternate Universes, several Tenchi Universes, and possibly others have alternate Universes as well. Add them all up and you got one mess of a tangled multiverse to fix.

    Actually, yeah, there's been plenty of anime or manga that have been redone several times, creating three to five different versions of a property. El Hazard, Magic Knight Rayearth, Digimon, Pokeman, Negami!, Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis, dozens, possibly thousands of Madoka Magica universes...
