Reviews for This War of Mine
Erebus D Thanatos chapter 1 . 8/7
Ozpin got rekt by Cinder... so how is he unfathomably strong than a human? The only special things about him is; he can reincarnate w/ memories, and he knows magic from when he was a wizard.
NibberWithAHardR chapter 1 . 8/3
Bro Prime Ozpin and Salem aren't "unfathomably stronger than an average human," unless you consider that to be true of King Piccolo (Dragon Ball [not Z]) which is hilarious tbh.

you screwed up the fic when Gohan teaches ki

Pride of four update when?
ARandomGuest chapter 29 . 7/29
So the posting of Ch. 28 was the first time this fic came across my radar, and even though I know nothing of RWBY, Gohan-centered fics are right in my wheelhouse, so I dove-in and was pretty quickly hooked. It'd be hard to overstate how much I'm enjoying this world and story you've constructed, and even though I came in with no prior knowledge of 90% of the cast, I quickly felt well acquainted - and emotionally invested! - in them all.

I will say that reading through all 29 chapters in a relatively short time frame really highlighted your growth as an author. The first few chapters, as engaging as they were, struggled a bit with some discontinuities; in particular, the sense of how much time had passed from one event to another seemed to fluctuate rapidly. There were still some minor issues with later chapters: e.g., I think it was Raven who cut her hair short in the time chamber, but came out with it even longer than normal. But these discrepancies are much reduced past the earliest chapters.

Please ignore those whining about power-levels. Any DBZ crossover is going to have deal with either:
- nerfing the DBZ character(s)
- turning all the non-DBZ characters into glorified extras (Yamcha, effectively)
- devising a plausible explanation for why and how the non-DBZ characters can compete
Of the three, I'm grateful you've chosen the last as it generally makes for the most enjoyable read, and you've done a perfectly adequate job of making it plausible. It seems like some of your reviewers would rather have a boring story where everyone else just stands around and watches Gohan do everything, just so long as you don't transgress the all-sacred POWER LEVELS!

Greatly looking forward to the following installments, though a little saddened by the sense that things will be wrapping up soon, and there are LOT of post-Cell questions I'd love to see explored:

- (To echo Yang's concerns/questions) How WILL hers and Gohan's relationship unfold and progress?
- Is the Weiss / Cinder fusion permanent, and what does her / their futures detail either way?
- How does Blake deal with / continue in her role as the new gaurdian?
- To what degree do / can they rebuilt Remnant (and perhaps Beacon Academy)?
- Is there a way to permanently eradicate the Grimm, and if so would that even be a good thing (Remnant seems to struggle with mistrust and racism; without the Grimm as a unifying 'enemy' how would that play out)?
- Knowing what it is capable of, and what those wielding it have done to their world both past and present, how do the eleven(ish?) Remnant natives now knowledgeable regarding Ki handle / use / safeguard that information?

Little (or none) of that might result in much in the way of edge-of-your-seat action, but I'd love to explore it either way. Still, given that the completion of a quality fanfiction seems to be a rarity, perhaps an eminent formal ending would be a good thing.

I do, however, have to prod one idea for a sequel: I was intrigued by your explanation for why King Kai couldn't contact anyone on Remnant, and how that, in some way, ties into the genesis of the Grimm. So the same brother(s?) responsible for creating the Grimm blocked communication with Kais, supposedly due to their inaction regarding Remnant's struggles...which were themselves associated with devastating wars fought with Ki? It all seems to beg the questions:
- Where did they learn of Ki?
- What were the wars over?
- What was the real purpose of the Grimm?
An odd fan-theory (for an AU crossover fanfiction!) I couldn't help but come up with was that the underlying source of all this conflict was (somehow) the fledgling Cold Empire / Planet Trade Organization, and that the true purpose of the Grimm was to make the planet fundamentally undesirable to outside interests. Something that rarely seems to get explored in DBZ fanfiction is that while Cold family may be dead, that in-and-of-itself would be insufficient to destroy the Empire. There'd be a power-vacuum, sure, but no doubt various war lords would arise and attempt to seize control. While it'd be difficult to image any such would-be emperors having the power to challenge our post-Cell heros, having that history return and try to settle the score could be interesting.
X3runner chapter 29 . 7/27
The level of ego and prissiness on that fusion has to be ungodly Vegeita Would seem like a humble monk next to her. Also I’m almost certain that once she’s an aunt ruby is going to be using instant transmition every single day robe the super cool aunti and let’s not forget the courupting force of literature that is Blake. Also since this is still the same universe would that mean that buu abd babidi still exist along with berus are we going to get another saga after peace time Ahd are these more hardened characters going to get lazy after beating cell.
T chapter 29 . 7/26
To The Author: Well Done. You did a good job on the chapter and I'm glad you at least understand where the people are coming from comes the power scaling. Aura Users Have More Potential.. but it should be realistically harder for Them To Reach Such Levels of Power because Aura is not as potent as Ki... admit that there is a lot of advantages of Aura.. however it has to Glaring weakness. If Someone Breaks Your Aura, You Have Little To No Defense.. yes you can still fight as officially probably but you are literally a glass Cannon. I understand it too late for a story to change. But i'am highly interested in you making another Dragon Ball and Ruby crossover after This Story. it would be nice to see what happens if Ruby characters end up in the Dragonball world

Idea: For example the universe of Ruby is actually alternate dimension of universe 7.. the Brother gods of Rwby are actually Powerful Dragons Gods.. Though it Is unknown if they are related to the Namakians and eternal dragons.

Not sure Why people are making excuses.. that does not mean that they would be capable of surpassing ki users outrifht. Aura users are still limited when their Aura breaks making them glass cannons.. I mean guess they can recharge their aura which is easier said than done. however they have no defense when they' re aura breaks. Ki and Aura Are Different.. well or has more supportive properties.. Ki is Far More Potent Energy Source. When your power level Increases properly All Of Your Stats Increase including Mental Resistance and. Resistance To Soul Erasure. An average person human has A Power Level of Yet a person With A Power Level of 100 Would Easily beContinental to multi Continental level and Be capable of Destroying The Moon if They Reach or Surpass A Power Level of 200.. . I mean look At Opzin.. he has the combined Aura Reserves of all of his previous incarnations and small portion of his magic and He Lost To Cinder? A Novice Magic User that had access to 1/4 of his magical powers even less so considering that she is inexperienced and not a fully-realized a magic user... that was a poor oversight on a Rooster Teeth part.. but hey that is not surprising considering that RoosterTeeth is filled with crap writing. they can't even properly handle writing Racial discrimination and the consequences of a terrorist attack. IMAO.

But anyway I'm not opposed to that concept of Rwby characters being powerful.. but realistically it should take more time and Training To Reach Greater Heights under Multiple Teachers To Get Stronger.

Random idea: what would happen if there was a special training academy placed in the hyperbolic Time chamber aka the room of spirit and time.. Daiezenshuu 7 Guidebooks Stated the chambr is Just as Vast as The Earth.

Also based On calculation on Time.

1 Second would Be 6 Minutes in The Chamber.

1 Minute Would Be 6 Hours and 5 Minutes inside.

1 Hour Would be 15 Days, 5 Hours and 15 minutes inside The Chamber.

1 Day Would Be 1 Year In The Chamber.

So now that I think about it would these characters realistically last in The Chamber? When Goku first Tried The Hyperbolic Time Chamber which Happen Before the Events of The 23 Budokai tournament He Could Only Last 1 Month Within Chamber Because Of The Harsh atmosphere..
Waterkuing chapter 29 . 7/25
First off, I'll like to say that it's an actual pleasure to know that you are uploading this again. In these times of quarantine, I find it difficult to find something to read that actually interests me, and since I have practically have been following this story since the beginning, I'm feel like I'm finally getting the satisfaction of knowing how it's going to end. So thank you for that.

Second, I've been wondering, since I think it should be about the same time, if your going to make a sequel with gohan, and maybe the rest of the gang, to go back in time to fix things like in the anime, but with additional plans to fix remnant before things got as bad like in show, and/or have arcs with Majin boo and then later with Goku black. I know that odds are that you'll just have it be a happily ever after ending, but it's just something to think about if you ever want to continue with the story.

Third, are you planning to continue Pride of Four after this one is complete. I slightly enjoyed reading that one more, but if it became a fact of writers block of how slightly overpowered they already became for not continuing it, then make the reason the have to hold back is to developers their technique, so make them either have to wear weights during battle, or make them limit their breathing during combat. What I mean by that second one if you don't quiet understand is to literally make them limit their breathing so not to use unnecessary energy so that they focus on minimal movement that's beneficial for technique. It's just a thought since its possible make weighted clothes with gravity dust, just assuming since Weiss has her gravity glyph that uses gravity dust, and just make them have a reason not to be so overpowered in combat class. At the end it's your decision if you wish to continue that story, and I will support whatever you decide to do.

I look forward to the next update, what's to come afterward.

The power scaling is pretty well done all things considered though the power creep has to be chalked up to plot convenience.

KEEP BEING AWESOME!
Doom chapter 29 . 7/25
To all people complaining about power levels, you've seriously glossed over several facts about this story. Remnants are vastly superior to Earth humans. They have a built in regenerating shield that heals all but the most fatal of wounds. This allows them to make strides through training not possible by Earth's standards. Not only are their wounds healed, but their stamina comes back much faster.

Also, considering canon RWBY, A lot of Remnants are already low Dragonball tier by their feats. With the inclusion of the arrival of Gohan and the knowledge of the androids, Ozpin, Qrow, and Raven trained well over a decade learning to harness this power alone.

Blake, Yang, and Pyrrha were trained by someone who mastered these abilities ages ago. This version of Gohan is far more competent than his post-Cell saga counterpart. In fact, everyone in this story is stronger than canon. Goku and Piccolo have been dead for well over a decade and have been training in the afterlife, hence why Ruby comes back so powerful as well. She is literally trained by 3 masters, including King Kai.

Cell on multiple occasions in this story has complimented Remnant's humans and even commented on how great their strides are. This is not poor thought out power creep, it's part of the world building itself. Also, consider the past how Blake specifically learned about ki in Remnant's history. The reason Remnant is known as Remnant, is because the older generations literally destroyed most of their world by harnessing ki.

In the Saiyan saga, Goku increases his PL over 10 times his previous in the span of a week of intense training. Yang and co have been intensely training for over a year. This is DB people, power creep exists in canon, so why wouldn't it exist in fan fiction?

If you guys stuck with it as far as ch 29, the power scaling can't have been that bad. Do you seriously think harassing the author constantly about PL is doing any good? Just enjoy the story and its soon to be conclusion for what it is.
Zack chapter 29 . 7/24
Not gonna lie, I kept reading to the end and start reading all over again, and its still amazing as ever

But, yet I get this feeling that in the end, its going to be a like a "sad yet I'm ok with it" ending like at the end of the Cell Saga on DBZ

Ok, 1st Ending; Cell will die, and so will Gohan because he used the last bit of his energy or sacrifice his life to defeat him, the others will search and use the dragonballs to wish back everyone including Gohan, but Gohan will be like Goku, stay dead and telling them "Its your turn, to protect this world, you don't need me anymore"

2nd Ending: Gohan/Yang defeat Cell by using some kind of Union Attack like 'Dragon Fist' or a 'Father/Son/Girlfriend' Kamehameha, then (again) find the dragonballs, but before they make the wish, Gohan thinks back on everything that happened when he came to Remnant, then makes this wish 'I wish that everything that had happened, Cells destruction, the deaths...me coming to Remnant...never happened' or something like that then their stories go back to its original part

whew, that's all I got on my mind, hope to see more before Cyberpunk release
Zack, signing out

What? Insane power creep whenever Dragon Ball is involved?

Lol. Some people just have a stick shoved up their butt about it. But now steps in the brawling blonde herself, Yang Xiao Long!
