In loving memory of one of the best to ever do it, we've decided to rush out some rules for DBZA. Why not an actual Toei original, you ask? Well, 1) because we could do this faster, and 2) the only rule you need for those masterpieces is "Drink duration of power ups". Also because you should just enjoy those and not worry about drinking.
Remaining sagas will be added at a later date.
Surgeon General's warning applies!
