Crust Saga Q & A:
Q1: Finally, Goku became a Super Saiyan! Though it was a very short duration. Why did you do that?
A: Super Saiyan is a thing that seems to be everyone's favorite part of DBZ. I wanted to make it seem that it was harder to achieve than everyone thought. Also to show just how powerful it really is.
You'll notice once Goku goes Super Saiyan, he pretty much instantly destroys Crust (in final form) like he was nothing. Also right after Goku finishes Crust off and fulfils his revenge, he loses his Super Saiyan.
You will see in the next saga that Goku has not been able to reach SSJ since defeating Crust. This adds more internal conflict for Goku.
Q2: Why did you pick Crust? And how did you make him?
A: I wanted a sea creature to be the bad guy. I wanted him to have attributes like sea creature. The name "Crust," came from the word "crustacean." When I said it I loved it instantly.
Q3: Vegeta is a lot nicer in DBX, why?
A: Remember, Vegeta is still the exact same person in DBX as in DBZ. But in DBX, Vegeta was friends with Kakarot (though he won't admit it.) You see Vegeta is beginning to see that Earth is a place worth not destroying, though Vegeta has never spared anything and he does not want to accept his fate.
So Vegeta is slowly becoming buds with Goku again. It all depends on when.
Q4: Crust, Jo Bo and Rion were all very interesting characters you created. What other ideas for new characters do you have? New Z fighters or villains?
A: Thank you. When I create characters I want them all to be very unique from each other. I'm glad you liked them.
I have the next two villains planned already. I can't wait to write about them. Everyone is going to love them!
As for other heroes.. They will come.
Q5: How did you make Jo Bo?
A: I was originally planning Jo Bo's character to be a older Gohan (Goku's son) his story was gonna be like Gohan was sent in the past and came across Crust. Than he had to defeat him. However, that story didn't work out because I didn't want Goku meeting his son and altering the future.
So I changed Gohan into a alien that was gonna look really buff and strong, but I decided to make him tiny and petite. To show, like the old quote, "It isn't the size of the dog in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." It was something the Z fighters weren't expecting.
Q6: Tien used Power Burst 2, is that like Super Saiyan?
A: I had a similar question like this before. Power Burst is a way to push out extended power. Tien, probably the most skilled in PB, had trained for a while trying to push the limits of PB.
You will see that when Tien pushes himself to Power Burst 2, his large muscles and reduced speed disappears. PB2 completely pushes the bodies limits, but if not trained enough, as Tien saw, it could cripple you or even kill you. Roshi gave a brief explanation, mentioning that PB is only one part of the boost, PB2 completes this boost, and is unstable to the ill trained. Saying that he once tried the technique and it almost killed him.
Q7: Out of all Z fighters, can you list weakest to strongest?
A: I like these types of questions, I just wish they were more specific with what time period the characters are in. I'll just go from strength at the highest power level seen by the characters.
Yamcha
Krillin
Rion
Tien
Vegeta
Goku

Q9: Why was Rion the only one to die?
A: Rion needed to die to show just how powerful Crust is. Also, I needed one person to actually die and I use this heroic death to clear Rion's soul of all the sins in the past. So he could keep his body during the training with King Kai.
