Yo guys! Got a few updates for you regarding [What-If #21]!
• I know how much you love the infographics I include in the animations, so I’ve been thinking of a really solid way to give a valid reason for the “Beast” transformation (which has been tough, not gonna lie haha).
Originally, I was going to go with the idea that Gohan training under Piccolo over time sort of “infected” him, giving him a more demonic appearance similar to the Demon Clan. However, I think the reasoning is going to be a bit different now, or maybe a mix of both. The explanation I’m going with for “Beast,” will, as the movies and statements indicated, tie into Gohan’s Rage, something we’ve seen multiple times before in the Saiyan and Cell Sagas.
I will attribute Beast's demonic appearance to the Elder Kai's magic. Because the Elder Kai's Shinjin race originates from the Demon World, it somewhat 'corrupted' the essence of Gohan's Rage, which first manifested back in the Cell Games as a Super Saiyan 2, thus making 'Beast' take on a similar appearance, though it is not, exclusively, a Super Saiyan transformation.
• Watching Gohan control his rage while retaining his intelligence against Cell Max has helped Broly overcome his own berserk state, allowing him to finally control his Super Saiyan transformation. I believe the manga, before it entered hiatus, hinted at a close connection between Gohan’s and Broly’s respective demeanors and power-ups, and I wanted to reflect that in the animation.
• Many major parts of the animation are already complete (I'd say above 80% has been animated), the animation itself, the 3D stages, even most of the sound effects as well had been applied to that. The What-If segments, though, aren’t finished in chronological order yet. There are still some in-between scenes and extra details that need to be added so everything flows smoothly. Picking up motivation to work on this What-If has honestly been really tough (After this, I think I’ll go back to the previous 2D Sprite Animations, I’ve got more inspiration for those), But I’m steadily working on it, and it's going to be amazing, I'm doing everything at a healthy pace, so no need to worry. I still don't know of a release date since my pacing has plenty to do with the inspiration and motivation I mentioned above, which I had been lacking, but it *is* making progress.
I want to finish this just as much as everyone wants to see it finished, and mark my words, I will finish it! I really appreciate all your extreme patience with me through this. I promise it’ll be worth your time.
Love you guys and be well! I’ll also try my best to answer some questions about the story if you have any here in the comments! Feel free to suggest things as well, I always love to read your ideas! :D
