#(RIP Bardock)

‘SMASH’ //Tater and Toma to Bardock and Goku to Vegeta!

Smash or Pass || Open!

" Toma is an easy smash. We've fooled around before after all. But, huh, Tater? The uh...uh...what are those animals? Bunnies? The bunny girl. Hm...yeah I wouldn't turn her down for a romp. Smash. "

The prince avoids eye contact and, for several long beats, refuses to speak. Finally, though muttered under his breath and easy to mistake for little more than perhaps a clearing of his throat, he says,

" Smash. "

[risingsouls]

" Heh, that's pretty good where'd-- "

" ...Damn it... "

♥ "There is love without sex, and sex without love- "

♥ "And there is you, without both."

Are there any decent dragon ball YouTubers? I gave Totally Not Mark a shot (I got clickbaited into his Bardock is ruining Dragon Ball video) and his take was: TV Special good, Minus version makes Goku Superman, Super manga further ruins the story because of the wish Bardock makes.

I know I’m biased as a Bardock fan but I actually liked Super Hero/Minus Bardock just as much as TV special. Will never defend the Super manga though, I don’t even think Toriyama outlined the Granolah stuff did he?

He outlined some of it. The idea was Toyotaro's (and Victory Uchida's too, apparenty, which would explain why he's always trying to hype that arc) and he sent it to Toriyama, who apparently came up with a lot of the lore and a basic outline for him based on those ideas. From there, Toyotaro wrote the dialogue, the details, etc. So what exactly is Toyotaro's or not, we don't really know. But the arc itself was not Toriyama's idea. As for DB Tubers, unfortunately, I tend to not really watch their content. More than once I've been accused of "ripping off" some of my own thoughts on things from them, or being influenced by them, so I've kind of made it a point to ignore them to avoid that in the future. I'm sorry I can't really be of more help there. But for the record, I absolutely HATE the whole "Goku is Superman" thing, mostly because of how people misuse that. While there are some basic similarities in that both have the whole "Baby Moses" motif, for some reason people don't refer to the updated comic origin for Superman with this, but the 1978 film where he's deliberately sent not just to survive, but to be a hero. This is not the case with Goku. He's legit dropped on Earth to hide and potentially be picked up later. It's a completely random event, not one of "destiny" or anything like that. In fact, the Bardock Special has more of that to it than Minus does, given Bardock legit sees the future and sees Goku on Earth, fighting Vegeta, facing Freeza, etc. Such a weird, bizarre claim to me, and betrays a lack of media literacy in regard to the material.

Anyways, sorry, got a bit meandering there at the end, but I maybe folks who follow the blog can point you toward a few good ones?

for the halloween event

turles/bardock/goku (saiyans probably lol) reacting to a fem reader with a moo-costume (cow) lmao (or a dinosaur 😭)

It could be nsfw or not, as you like!

BARDOCK X READER

It’s cute. He thinks? What is he supposed to think of it staring down the tall, foam headdress of your costume as you came “face to face” with him. 

It gives Bardock some conflicting feelings about seeing you walk around in your dinosaur costume and playfully roaring at him.

He vocalizes absentmindedly on how the costume reminds him of something he ate once upon a time while looking down at you in it.

The creature wore that same unnerving expression you were giving him now once he expressed that, taking him back to that moment from his past.

…May he does like your costume.

Only a saiyan could correlate eating a conquered beast for survival to eating out his overstimulated lover and not see anything wrong with that.

By the squint in his eyes, his growing smirk, and the grip on the tail of your costume when you thought you could now slink away, your Halloween plans quickly changed.

He ended up ruining the shape of the tail and the suit of your costume to get to where he wanted, having first “ripped out your belly” to free your breasts while you squirmed underneath him, hungrily latching onto your nipple, shaping your other breast playfully in his hand.

The beast put up more of a “fight” than you were but he delighted in the taste of your supple skin regardless, gently pulling your sensitive button between his teeth until it popped free and he sucked it back between his lips to do it again.

Next thing you knew you were on all fours and crying out at the waves of pleasure, gloved “claws” and matching boots unable to get a solid grip on anything when he tore out the back of the costume and licked into your exposed folds. 

GOKU X READER

Halloween was supposed to be spooky or scary, and Goku doesn’t quite get where a cow falls into those categories.

Unless you were giving out tasty meat treats instead of candy for Halloween, then it would certainly fit the theme.

Either way, there had to be better costume options before you settled on this. Not that he’s complaining if it makes you happy and you’re having fun.

You playfully teased making it a couple costume theme and how he could be your “breeding bull”. And he blushed at that, sheepishly laughing it off.

You’d thought your relationship had outgrown those bashful responses by now but it truthfully turned you on knowing you could still get that kind of reaction out of him.

Further teasing him, you placed the headband of small cow horns on his head and filled your hands with his broad chest, complimenting how well they looked against his crown of wild hair. Naturally, Goku let out an aroused sound from your fondling and sweet words. However, he knows how this game goes and tried to scold you for your one-sided teasing.

You smirked at him in response and moved in closer, his heart skipping a beat when you purposely circled your fingers over the sensitive buds of his chest through his shirt and pressed your lips into his neck.

He crumbled within minutes of your hand at his hardening cock while you were making idle comments of "milking" a strong and healthy bull like him. The dirtier your words, the more complacent he grew underneath your touch like a moth to a flame.

You managed to get his gi loose to get his shirt over his chest for a more direct touch to his skin your mouth wrapped around his nipple as he trembled pressing up against you.

You continued to pump at his weeping cock through his loose pants, his eyes rolling back slightly from all the stimulation and a dark, wet stain appearing in his clothing where it shaped the tip of his cock.

TURLES X READER

Thinks you look ridiculous upon first glance and the double take that followed with his brow arched and a surprised stare. 

When you initially said you were going to be a cow, Turles can admit he doesn’t know of earth animals enough to think much of it, until he saw you prance out in the inflated plastic suit and platform boots

Then he can’t help but give you his honest opinion when you ask him how you looked, accompanied by a wry smile as if it would cushion the blow of his words. If this was some sort of a joke, he just didn’t get it.

But then you asked him to help you out of the suit. Upon letting the air out of it when he unzips the back, he finds you in a matching cow-print lingerie set with a cowbell around your neck and faux-fur ears. The underwear was stitched with a cow tail hanging off the back as well.

And he…he still doesn’t get what you’re going for. You’re just wearing one of your matching underwear sets now. The bra barely covered your breasts, not to mention how they were straining the thin strings keeping it tied up around you. This costume was impractical.

You dropped a few annoyed hints to get your intentions across and then he just stared at you silently, eyes scanning over your body as his head tilted and the tip of his loose tail flicked.

Turles’ eyes narrow when he looks back up to yours. He can’t deny that in theory, it was a cunning attempt to seduce him even though you failed at it. But he doesn’t like being on the receiving end of tricks.

Now, the bell around your neck is ringing constantly from the way he has you bouncing off the snap of his hips into yours, balancing you in his hold with your legs dangling off his large forearms. Accompanied by your moans, it’s all encouraging music to his ears.

There’s a string of drool falling down the side of your mouth that makes him smirk, the harsh yet delicious pumps of his cock inside you making you ache with pleasure and pain as relentlessly fucks you through your orgasm.

Is not the darkness sweet ?

Omni-man VS Bardock is now officially out, and with its release I'm gonna give my review of the episode

PLEASE WATCH HERE 8EFORE READING REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2HyfHPo7Nw

(dropping the vriska thing for the review cause I want this to 8e taken legit)

Man, I really liked this episode. IDK if its the dopamine of my favorite internet show making a comeback or the episode just being really good, so imma just say its both. Omni-man's analysis is pretty good all around, I only have a single season of Invincible to base it on but from what I know of later on in the show and comic it goes over his story well. Not to mention the editing is on point. Bardock's analysis is something I actually know quite well and my god did they deliver. They cover all the facets of Bardock well, keep it enjoyable throughout, use feats other than the shockwave part 87 because this is 97 percent PRE SAIYAN GOD BABYYYYYYYY, and give the Father of Goku a level of respect he hasn't had since the 90s, especially with the ending to his analysis. Its a great character rundown of both characters, the VS stuff they pull is interesting, and overall is just a great analysis segment.

And they don't slow down in quality cause man this fight is fucking awesome. The choreography is great, especially with the Oozaru form and Bardock wrecking Omni-man, only for Nolan to grab him by the tail, swing him around, and rip his fucking tail off to take him out of Oozaru. This is definitely an episode I'm gonna be quoting a lot, especially "My sons would kick his ass." They really nailed the characterization. Also the final part where Bardock goes super saiyan and everything is a dark blue except his shining golden hair looks fucking immaculate. The death is admittedly something I'm kinda iffy on. The concept is cool with Nolan punching Bardock so hard he hits him out of super saiyan and he slowly dies afterward, the exchange after the killing blow is cool showcasing the bits of humanity residing within the 2, I just wish the actual killing blow was a bit stronger. Still overall a pretty good death though, I just wish it felt harder. (EDIT: so the storyboards came out and revealed that the death was supposed to have Bardock's arm fucking explode with the punch and it likely wasn't displayed due to model limitations. Previous statement still applies but i understand better why it wasn't as crazy as it could have been)

Oh yeah also Omni-man wins which no one was betting on. Don't believe me? Here's a pic from the Death Battle Wiki's Discord server on who they were betting on winning

congrats to those 3 people, your streak is alive... just hope you can keep that streak for the next time. What was the next time again?

........huh

Ok if you know me you know this isn't exactly my favorite vs idea ever, 8ut i can't act like it wasn't inevita8le. excited to see what they do with it since i know they're gonna cook with this one, and i don't pay attention to the de8ate for most episodes so i don't have to worry a8out that.

Overall, great episode, glad to see Death Battle is back, and just as great as ever.

[macla539ac]

one of my first experiences with internet piracy was downloading a ripped rmvb version of the film BARDOCK: GOKU'S FATHER. I know it's canon, but I still think it's one of the best! I used to call my brother a sayajin warrior of the lowest class... without considering that he could be the Yamoshi.

Sparking Zero my custom battle ideas

I don’t have a PS5, Xbox, or gaming PC and I'm probably not going to get this game on Switch but just wanted to share some ideas here before I forget about them whenever I do get my PS5

Inspired by the Gohan saving Trunks in Goku's black arc moment in the opening

Some are what ifs, some just scenarios

Earthlings vs Ginyu Force: to mirror that filler episode where the Ginyu Force were ok King Kai's planet

Raging blast what ifs: there are some what ifs they could almost just rip the dialogue from those like the Bardock meeting grandkids, best duo with tien and chiaotzu, best fusion, etc

Future Trunks buu saga: basically a thing where we see what was essentially the Kakarot DLC

Goku revived on time: in Saiyan Saga Goku was revived on time but the distance to get back was underestimated but if they either planned ahead what would his presence during the first instance with the Saibamen go

Goku & Gohan time chamber first: so canon vegetal and trunks went first but if Goku and Gohan went what would happen when they encountered second form Cell

Uninterrupted Buu Saga tournament: basically if They weren't stopped by Gohan getting his energy drained in the middle how would those brackets go,

Goku vs Mecha Frieza: basically the original timeline where Goku got there since no trunks, could be unique where it is Goku vs Frieza Vegeta vs King Cold, rest vs soldiers

Hercule in original tournament: in a way make it so Hercule was in a original dragon ball tournament with Tien Yamcha Piccolo etc as its a thing where people think he's stronger than everyone back then but is outclassed obviously now

7-year time skip what ifs: Bojack movie obvious, maybe have other character stuff like Krillin vs Tien, Frieza soldier comes to earth and is defeated by Yamcha or somebody

Different universe 6 tournament lineup: canon was Goku vegeta piccolo buu(disqualified) and monaka vs hit cabba frost magetta and botamo, if you want to swap buu and monaka out for almost anyone or since two aren't in the game it'll be 3 v 3 can swap vegeta piccolo out for Gohan and Krillin for example

Cabba vs SSJ 4 Gogeta; got to make the meme real lol, there's probably some settings that make their powers resemble the memes more

If Goku went SSJ3 against Majin Vegeta: start with the battle then you go from there with Buu

Super vs GT matchups: stuff like Jiren vs Omega, Hit vs Baby

Future Gohan comes back instead of Trunks: basically flipping F Gohan with Trunks in the cell saga

What if they found 16 in the future: maybe presence can lead to a different scenario as it can be 3 against 2 now

Tien or Yamcha on Namek with Gohan: basically if Krillin died who would go to Namek and does the character change things

Babidi early: can tie into the 7 time skip one but just if Babidi came earlier like if all the super Saiyan energy in Earth was enough to hatch Buu can teen Gohan Vegeta maybe future trunks maybe Cell defeat Babidi, Dabura, and Buu

Movie vs canon equivalent: Frieza vs Cooler, 13vsAndroids, Turles vs Vegera, Janemba vs Buu, etc

Super Dragon Ball Heroes Episode 50

The finale of the Supreme Kai of Time arc finally came out a few weeks ago, so let's wrap up my liveblog of it.

Just so we're all up to speed, I covered Episodes 41 through 49 here , here, and here. But if you're not in the mood to read that: this arc introduces Aeos, the previous Supreme Kai of Time, who has now returned to take back the position from Chronoa. Aeos believes that there are too many alternate timelines now, and Chronoa's refusal to deal with them has only made things worse, so Aeos and her four attendants take over the Time Nest to resolve the problem instead. Aeos's solution is to hold a big tournament with warriors from different timelines, and the losing teams get their timeline erased.

This all gets thrown into chaos when Demigra shows up, having recently gained a power boost from the Dark King energy once held by Fu. I'm not sure if this was just a coincidence, or if Demigra somehow manipulated the Aeos/Chronoa dispute to his advantage. Anyway, he tries to seize control of the Time Nest and destroy all the fighters who oppose him, which culminates in this climactic beam struggle against Goku, Bardock, and Future Gohan.

Just so we're clear, the Bardock and Future Gohan we see here are variants from other timelines, recruited by Aeos to serve as her attendants. Bardock was the "Hooded Saiyan" who occasionally helped Goku during the previous arc. Gohan hails from a world where Trunks died fighting 17 and 18, while he survived.

Anyway, the Father-Son-Grandson Kamehameha ends with Bardock daring the boys to push even harder, which leads to Bardock turning SSJ4, Goku going Ultra Instinct (again), and Gohan turning SSJ2. This overwhelms Demigra and he dies.

However, before Demigra is beaten, Aeos and Chronoa have this nice little reconciliation where Aeos points out that Demigra only got this far because of the multitude of alternate timelines. Even if he's defeated, some other menace will just rise up to replace him. She asks Chronoa how she can continue to support sparing the timelines if this is true, and Chronoa replies that a lot of good has come from the alternate timelines as well, and she's willing to trust the heroes to rise to the occasion. Then they hold hands and do some sort of time stuff, which might have helped tip the scales against Demigra, but I don't know. When it's all over, they use the Scroll of Eternity to restore everything to the way it was before Demigra attacked.

Goku is satisfied with this outcome, but he has one last bit of business to discuss with Aeos: Goku wants the Super Space-Time Tournament to be restarted, since he never got to finish his match with Xeno Goku earlier in the arc. Aeos agrees, and this time it's just an exhibition, with the fighters who still want to fight having 1v1 matches with no brackets.

We get some brief glimpses of the other matches, like Piccolo vs. Pikkon, Master Roshi vs. Grandpa Gohan, and so on, but none of these amount to anything. This episode spent a decent two minutes re-telling the beam struggle from Episode 49, which could have been used to show a little more of the cool fights they teased instead.

Credit where it's due, Goku vs. Xeno Goku actually gets some time, and there's some cool spots, like SSJ4 Goku trying to use a Warp Kamehameha on UI Goku, only for UI to try to float over to avoid it. Then 4ku snares him with his tail, but UI-ku is still too nimble to be trapped for long.

As everyone watches, Aoes reflects on how Goku impressed her, and I think the implication is that Goku's the one who convinced her not to erase the other timelines, at least for the time being. Then there's a credits sequence, like this is a big finale, but it's not.

They do the finish of the Goku/Vegeta fight from DBS: Super Hero, and it's UI Goku who wins. Sound booking, but I wish they could have come up with a different way to end it. I mean, Aeos's tournament was already a rip-off of the Tournament of Power, and Demigra's invasion was just a retread of his invasion in Xenoverse 1, and now this. It's tough to find anything really fresh in this story.

With the match settled, Aeos announces that she'll be leaving again to survey the alternate timelines for herself. She says she wants to re-check everything to re-evaluate her decision, and warns Chronoa that if she finds she had it right the first time, she'll be back to erase everything like she intended. Chronoa seems to accept this. Maybe she's confident that Aeos will see things her way, or maybe it's just that Chronoa has no choice. This arc suggests that Chronoa cannot, or will not, challenge Aeos' authority. I guess with Aeos leaving, Chronoa is reinstated as Supreme Kai of Time, but they never explained why Aeos left the job in the first place, or what claim she had to take it back. There's a lot of unanswered questions in all of this.

Aeos's four attendants will be joining her on her new mission, including Vidros, who proposed to Yamcha during the tournament. So what about that? Well, it turns out Vidros can't marry Yamcha right away. Her people have a tradition that says she can't marry until she reaches a certain age, which is still a dozen centuries away. So she intends to go with Aeos and return for Yamcha 1200 years from now. D'oh!

This did not go over well with the fandom, who were pretty hyped for the idea of Yamcha getting the girl. I think we all knew that there'd be some kind of catch. They weren't going to marry off an established character in a web series for crying out loud. I choose to look at this in a positive light. Yamcha's still got a fiance. And just because she has to wait 1200 years doesn't mean that he has to wait the same amount of time. Aeos might do her a solid and bring her back to the present day so she can still marry Yamcha during his natural lifespan.

At least Vidros had some sort of character arc in this story. I have no idea what this alternate version of Piccolo was supposed to be about. He just shares some meaningful looks with Gohan and that's it. Future Gohan says goodbye to Xeno Trunks, Bardock takes a last look at his son, and they all head out.

I seriously wondered if Episode 50 was going to be the finale for the entire web-series, since this arc seemed to wrap up the last plot threads of the whole show. Most of SDBH was about Fu's rise to prominence, and then he got defeated with the help of Demigra and Aeos's team, who settled all of their business in this arc. So this seemed like a pretty good stopping point, but no. There's an Episode 51, which promises a whole new arc that will probably take another two years to finish. I guess Super Dragon Ball Heroes will be around for a while longer.

And I'll probably cover those future story arcs one of these days, but this seems like a good place to stop for now. It's a lot more satisfying to watch this show several episodes at a time, and it'll be at least a year before we're far enough along to make this worth my time. But we'll see how it goes.

Four Star High

Part One

(Not my art)

Note: This is something I came up with a while back. I’ve got some OCs in here and it’s an AU, so a lot of characters are going to be ooc and it doesn’t follow the canonical timeline. Also I’m going to change some ships as well as some other things about the characters because ✨creative freedom✨

wc: 2.8k

“Time to get up, kids!” Gine called from the bottom of the stairs. Her short and petite figure stood clad in a magenta button up with the sleeves rolled up and dark wash mom jeans, holding a spatula. Her face was very soft compared to her husband’s. Her black hair was blown out, framing her face and she wore light makeup.

Raditz shot up and swung his feet off his bed, grabbing his pre-picked clothes from his dark wooden dresser, and strode to the bathroom. The shower was running within minutes. As the oldest, he’d be damned if he let his siblings get the bathroom before him. Raditz put a lot of effort into his appearance.

He often wore carefully styled layers, corduroy pants, and gold jewelry. Raditz wore a lot of warmer neutrals and liked trendy designs. He had long hair that he often pulled back into a ponytail, leaving some hair out to frame his face. He had the exact same face shape of his father as well as his eyes.

Turles slammed his hand down to blast some hard rock music from his boombox. Dragging himself from his messy bed, he threw on a band tee from his floor. After some digging, he found a pair of ripped straight leg jeans. Turles shoved his feet into his dingy black converse and smudged some pencil eyeliner on his eyelids.

Turles was going through some teenage angst and rebellion. He smoked a lot of weed with his friends, and played in a band. They were definitely a grunge rock band. He played bass and wrote some songs. His songs were often sad or angry, written in the heat of his emotions.

“Turles, turn that shit down!” Bardock barked from the sink while washing dishes. It was a wonder that his large calloused hands didn’t shatter the dishes. His muscle bound figure towered over the sink nonetheless.

Kakarot rolled out of bed at the sound of Turles’s music. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he shuffled over to his closet. His face was soft like Gine’s and near identical to Turles’s save for his eyes. Kakarot had Gine’s eyes while Turles had Bardock’s. Otherwise they both have Gine’s face.

A simple blue t-shirt, jeans, and his orange and navy accented letterman jacket seemed good enough to him. Kakarot wasn’t too concerned about his looks. He opted for comfort over style, though he wasn’t completely without taste.

Yucca flicked through her closet in deep thought. Yucca was nearly the spitting image of her mother. She had all of Gine’s facial features except for her face shape. Yucca was also much taller than her mother, but just as slim if not slimmer.

Humming to herself, she snatched a green cropped tank top with navy blue borders. A pair of baggy jeans followed with high tops close behind. She found her brush and dry shampoo, making quick work of her hair. Yucca did minimal makeup as she never did much. She’d have to wipe it off before soccer practice anyways.

Starting with Kakarot, each kid made their way downstairs to the table. Gine had made a large breakfast for them. Bardock and Gine had already eaten half of their food by the time everyone was seated.

���So what do you all have going on today?” Their mother asked.

“The band wants to go to Bell’s after school, so I probably won’t be home until 9.” Turles shrugged.

“Remember to be careful, and no funny business.” Bardock looked him in the eyes.

“I know, dad.”

“Bulma’s taking Kakarot and I to Skate City after dinner.” Yucca chimed in.

“Make sure you both do your homework before she gets here, or else you can’t go.” Gine warned.

“Yes, mom.” Kakarot nodded furiously.

“I have a date tonight.” Raditz puffed out his chest. “Violet from the cheer squad.”

“Be back by 10.” Bardock sighed deeply. “And if you’re gonna fuck her, please use protection. Your mother and I have enough going on with just the four of you.”After breakfast, the four teenagers piled into Raditz’s car and he drove off to school. They immediately split off once the car was parked. Yucca and Kakarot had caught up with Chi Chi, Bulma, and Krillin outside of the school. Turles went to Sherry’s car and joined the session. Raditz stayed in the car, waiting for Violet. He was parked far enough away that no teachers would catch them making out.

“So I heard that we’re getting a new student today.” Bulma walked backwards as she talked to the group. Her turquoise hair bounced in its high ponytail, her bangs nearly reaching her round blue eyes.

“A dude or a chick?” Krillin questioned. He stood at about 5’ even and had a buzz cut.

“A guy, I think.”

“Oh, which grade?” Yucca raised her brows.

“I believe he's a freshman like you."

“Do you think he’ll go out for football?” Krillin pondered.

“That’d be great!” Kakarot grinned wildly.

“Of course you’re only excited because of sports.” Chi Chi rolled her eyes. She was petite with the straightest black hair and a resting bitch face.

Bulma could only do her best to keep her feelings of disgust off her face.

Yucca left the group to go to her first period, the remaining trio making their way to their own. She sat in her seat just before the bell rang.

“Good morning, class. Today we have a new student joining us.” The teacher motioned to the door. In walked an insanely tall green skinned male. He had antennae, pointy ears, and no eyebrows.

“My name is Piccolo."

The class responded with half assed greetings.

“Piccolo, why don’t you sit in that empty seat next to Yucca.” The teacher motioned towards her. “Yucca, raise your hand for him.”

Yucca lifted her forearm from the table. Piccolo locked eyes with her, sending shivers down her spine. Despite this, Yucca held a friendly smile.

Piccolo made his way over to the spot and set his belongings down before taking his seat. Without skipping a beat, the teacher began with the lesson.

Yucca couldn't help but to glance at him every so often. He was the spitting image of a past enemy her father had faced. Throughout the entire class, he didn't say a word and looked like he was actually paying attention. His focus was inhuman.

Not catching a word the teacher said, Yucca continued her observation. He wasn’t King Piccolo, but he had to be related to him. Too many questions filled Yucca’s head to the brim. She needed to talk to Kakarot.

At lunch, Yucca found the rest of the group relatively easily. Freshmen and sophomores had the same lunch time while juniors and seniors ate together. She plopped down with her loaded tray.

“You should’ve seen the new guy in my class.”

“What’s he like?” Kakarot cocked his head.

“Super scary! He looks just like King Piccolo!”

“Is he that guy standing in the corner over there?” Bulma jabbed her thumb in the direction of Piccolo himself. He was in fact standing in a corner, arms crossed and eyes closed.

“Who’s that?” Chi Chi pondered aloud.

“King Piccolo tried to take over the world a few years back. Their dad killed him though.” Krillin’s brows furrowed.

“He couldn’t be him.”

“D’ya think he’s up to anything?” Kakarot asked with a mouthful.

“Who knows.” Bulma sipped her juice. “Maybe he’s just a relative of his who wants to go to school.”

“Weird as hell. Who wants to go to school?” Yucca made a face, twirling her fork in hand.

After school as Yucca was on her way to the locker room she spotted Piccolo in front of the school’s activities board. The board had fliers and sign up sheets for the various extracurricular activities the school offered. She strained to read the text on the paper in his hands. Four Star High Dragons: Football Sign-up

Holy shit, he is playing football! Yucca kept walking, her pace faster than before. Wait till Kakarot hears this.

Yucca made her way to the girl’s locker room to change into a school T-shirt and some athletic shorts. She pulled her hair into a low pony as she ran out to the soccer field.

After their practices, Raditz drove them home. The three of them ate a large snack before pulling out their books to study.

Believe it or not, Raditz was a straight A student. He always got amazing grades, so their parents made him help the younger two. Kakarot and Yucca struggled academically, but with Raditz’s help they did better than just passing.

“You guys had better focus today. I’m getting ready for my date at 7, and that time isn’t changing for either of you dumbasses.”

Raditz practically beat the information into them, but they got done around 6:30. Since they still had some down time, they went outside to train together. Fighting was a big part of their family; it was how Bardock paid the bills. It was also in their Saiyan blood.

Bardock had gotten home at about six, so they joined him in the backyard.

“I understand that Turles needs to hang out with kids his age, but he’s starting to fall behind in training.” Bardock commented.

“His band is finally getting some attention, so it makes sense that he’s focusing more on it.” Raditz shrugged.

“It’s not like he’s gonna quit fighting, but we’re the strongest people on earth. There’s not much reason to get stronger than we already are.” Yucca chimed in.

“Turles may be a rockstar, but I know he’s still gonna fight. I’m sure he’ll catch up on training in no time.” Kakarot beamed.

“Yeah, well, it might do him some good if you remind him.” Bardock smirked.

“We’ll get on it.”

Yucca and Kakarot were made to face off against each other while Raditz took on his father. The youngest two were often on the same wavelength. They were very close, after all.

As the most battle focused siblings, they often trained together. Their like mindedness and similar behaviors made them appear like twins to strangers. They were technically Irish twins, so the thought wasn’t so far off.

“How come Chi Chi didn’t say bye before you went to practice? Doesn’t she like to do that shit?” Yucca aimed a punch at her brother.

“She’s mad at me.” Kakarot dodged and jabbed at her.

“Again?! Why?”

“She doesn’t like how close I am with Bulma.” He uncharacteristically frowned as he attacked.

“You guys don’t act in a way that disrespects your relationship though. She’s all wigged out for no reason.” Yucca got him off balance and went in for the pin.

“That’s what I said! Well, not exactly. I just said she had nothing to worry about. But she just talked about how I don’t care about her and that I’m a player just like Raditz.” Kakarot switched their positions.

“Hey!” Raditz shouted at them from his match.

“No offense!”

“That’s bitchy. Bulma was literally our first friend when we came here. Of course you’re close!” Yucca freed herself and went in for another attack. “Plus, you’ve been doing your best to please ChiChi for the entirety of your relationship. You’ve sacrificed a good time with your friends to make her happy.”

“I’m no good at romance…but I don’t wanna hurt Chi Chi.” Kakarot winced when his sister struck him. “Honestly, I don’t know if I even wanna be in this relationship anymore.”

Yucca ceased all combat. Her brother followed suit, a heavy silence hanging between them.

“Why’s that? I thought you liked her.”

“Well, I do. I really care about her and stuff, but it seems like I just always make her mad. Ever since we’ve got together, I feel like she’s hated me. It’s like she has lost feelings after getting with me, but stays anyway.”

“Kakarot…” Yucca held intense eye contact with him. “Have you asked Chi Chi?”

“No. She’ll just blow up on me. I’d rather not bring it up.” Kakarot didn’t meet her eyes.

“Then that’s not a relationship you should be in.”

Kakarot’s eyes shot to his father’s in astonishment. It was as though the idea of breaking up with Chi Chi had never occurred to him.

“…it’s a terrifying thought though.”

“Change can be difficult, but this change will be beneficial. For the both of you.” Raditz placed a hand on his brother’s shoulder. “Once you both get over each other, you’ll be happier than ever. I’ll even help you find a new girl.”

“I think I’ll pass on that last part.” Kakarot chuckled.

“Women’s sizes 10 and 8 and a men’s 12.” Bulma leaned against the counter of the skate rentals. The employee behind the desk nodded before whipping around to the cubbies.

“I hope Musique is DJing tonight.” Yucca untied her high top sneakers.

“Yeah, she always plays the best music.” Kakarot slipped his own shoes off.

The three pairs of roller skates hit the counter, signaling the group to pick them up and move on.

“We should buy our own skates and customize them since we come here so much. It’d be so cute!” Bulma suggested while lacing up her skates.

“Oh my Kami, yes!!” Yucca spun in a smooth circle courtesy of her skates.

“I think I’ll need some help with mine, I’m not as good with artsy stuff like you are.”

“Don’t worry, Kakarot, I got you.” Bulma promised. Goku smiled, a warm and content feeling in his chest. Bulma was always there for him no matter what. Work It started playing over the speakers, and the lights flashed in time with it.

“Ooh, I love this song! I’m going out there.” Yucca bolted away towards the rink.

“I bet Musique is here tonight.” Bulma smirked in amusement.

“Good, I’m kinda in a dancing mood.” Kakarot did a goofy move when he said dancing. Bulma giggled and he joined her.

“Oh yeah? Show me your moves.” The bluenette challenged him. He did a dumb dance that actually had a few good moves in there. They laughed once again before joining Yucca in the rink.

“What took you so long?” Yucca came out of nowhere.

“We’d never leave you out here for too long.” Bulma grinned. The three then started rapping loudly.

“If you a fly gal, get your nose done

Get a pedicure, get your hair did

Boy lift it up, let’s make a toast ah

Let’s get drunk, that’s gon bring us closer

Don’t I look like a Halle Berry poster

See the Belvedere playin tricks on ya

Girlfriend wanna be like me, never

You won’t find a bitch that’s even better

I make you hot as Las Vegas weather

Listen up close while I take it backwards”

Yucca laughed, a similar sound to her brother’s. Bulma kept going. Kakarot just smiled as he watched his closest female companions have a good time in the rink. They all got along so nicely.

His heart panged when he thought about how they never had this much fun when ChiChi tagged along. She always had something to complain about, and never made an effort to actually have fun with them. She only came because Kakarot was there.

Usually Krillin would come too, but he had to attend a family event with his brothers. The three would give their regards later. They decided to take a selfie together to add to their book. They had to be all over each other to fit into the frame. Kakarot held the camera as he was the tallest standing at six feet. Since Bulma was much shorter, he lifted her closer to Yucca���s face. She trusted his firm grip.

“Alright, folks! Give another round of applause for The Crushers!!” A short black woman with cropped hair announced. The audience of the café went wild. “They’ll be back next Thursday.”

The band started dismantling their set and loading it into Sherry’s mom’s van.

“Thanks for covering me when I blanked. You have sweet vocals, Turles.” Launch brought another part of the drumset to the van.

“No problem, someone had to do something.”

“You guys should duet more often, the crowd went crazy over it.” Walter pushed his fluffy green bangs away from his face only for them to fall back.

“Yeah, that was brilliant, kids.” Miss Bell leaned against the doorframe.

“You think?”

“Hell yeah! That shit went hard.”

Walter turned into his shy self while Sherry basked in the praise. Launch and Turles just blushed.

In the middle of a love song, Launch sneezed and turned from blonde to blue. Blue Launch didn’t know where she was or what she was doing, so Turles took over vocals until she realized she was performing. She joined him for a few lines before he stopped.

It was awfully romantic, and there was so much tension between them as they shared the mic. Staring into each other’s eyes and breathing each other’s air. It had Turles’s heart racing like nothing else.

“We should a write a song specifically for us to sing.” He suggested.

“Sounds like fun.” Launch smiled widely.

Rip Bardock you would have loved this song

[imjussaiyan]

I’m also confused as to why a lot of Saiyans can’t be revived. Bardock and a lot of the others didn’t die of natural causes, they were killed. So. Like. Wtf? No one has thought of bringing anyone back? Even if some of them wanted to cause trouble, Goku, Vegeta and Gohan are strong enough alone to smear any one of them. Even so, I suppose I get it when it comes to the story itself, but there are a lot of plot holes in that regard.

Also, I’m still mad they didn’t at least revive Raditz at some point. The guy had a lot of potential and he was wasted. RIP Raditz.

[myfatmuses]

“Sorry I’m just used to asking.” Bardock would occasionally refuse seconds cause he was busy with something else or he ate some of the local population. But Gine immediately gave a thumbs up as she grabbed three more massive beasts which she began ripping apart,

This was the only time Gine was ever considered a threat to anyone. Sure she had a weak power level but that ferocity she had as a butcher was something to be feared

[blueper-saiyan]

Tumblr discriminating against infodumps with a character limit

Yeah these characters really don’t talk to each other about any of this. Almost every character’s backstory sucks but it’s never brought up basically. Also what pieces of this would Vegeta actually be trying to hide, or is that more about feelings instead?

Goku trying to navigate infrastructure reforms is a very funny mental image. I think he’d do an okay job but only because he’d immediately delegate it to someone he thinks is smart enough for it. Also this is far into pure speculation, but what would have happened with the Saiyans if they hadn’t met the Colds?

Hard not to be jealous of a newer more powerful sibling, even if it’s mostly just a trick, so that makes being friends pretty hard.

I’m worrying about the archivists now. Also I forgot to ask how the super saiyan is regarded in all this. I feel like in canon it’s super inconsistent and varies from historical figure to religious significance to children’s fairy tale. The fairy tale option has always felt sad to me, like of course that would be what a five year old would get told about and remember. How seriously is the legend taken here?

I’ll wait for the fic then

Makes sense, though it would have been extremely funny if he’d been calling him Junior (every time Piccolo gets called that in the tournament arc I lose it)

I’m very curious how Raditz ended up friends with Escallion, but I’m sure that’s a question for the fic. Rip Raditz getting stuck with her younger brother instead, though idk if she’s any better personality-wise. Usually pretty hard to be worse than Vegeta (the fourth) though. Also poor Gine and her other dead kids. Were they dying naturally or because they weren’t ranking as strong enough?

I love space autism, mood. Rip to Raditz in all of this, terrible traits to inherit for the situation he’s in. Although I guess I haven’t asked about what his relationship with Vegeta is like here. I’ve never been inclined to believe it was especially friendly, because it’s Vegeta, but Raditz did manage to ingratiate himself enough to avoid getting murdered in 25 years with him. Also I agree about the different Bardock versions. Yeah Goku is a weird combo of extremely saiyan and extremely un-saiyan, which I guess is Vegeta’s whole frustration with him.

Yeah that makes sense. Also I absolutely believe this is what happened with Vegeta and Bulma but this take is so frustratingly rare. Like, it’s what the story says happened, why does no one accept it. Vegeta’s redemption arc (in so much as it’s redemption, it’s more of a “taking some responsibility and realizing he’s been a shitty person” arc) is absolutely about Trunks and every so often I almost get annoyed enough to write up a long post about it lol.

I’m requesting the long post about Vegeta and Gohan anyway if tumblr will allow it this time

@blueper-saiyan

#Not sure if I’m allowed to pull out these tags as a separate reblog#but that is an interesting and fucked up theory I like it#and absolutely want to hear the long version#vegeta

you absolutely are as far as i'm concerned but since op's post was getting a bit long i'll respond here

dbz always reblog i have a theory that there's actually a reason for this it stems from my theory that vegeta's mom doesn't exist bc he's a clone of his dad basically it eventually become obvious that frieza was going to take whichever kid was heir to the throne so king vegeta (kv i guess) went ''aight we need a Super Baby (no tuffles allowed) and i'm the coolest guy on the planet. need a baby me'' so he gets a bunch of the buffest nerds imaginable (be real saiyan scientists like the job bc they get to fight physics) and start working kv: i need this kid to last as long as possible we're gonna need to buy some time scientists: got it boss *proceed to make the universe's most ridiculously hard to kill infant* how's this kv: excellent. frieza catch! frieza: oh this is adorable! i'm going to traumatize it =) <-an extremely brief summary of my hc

(^the tags in question)

ok so first there are a couple of things i need to get out of the way ahead of time– namely, i'm not the first person to come up with the vegeta-is-a-clone idea; the first person i saw with that idea was someone who wrote a fic i read a while back that i'm blanking on the name of at the moment, and while their version is massively different from mine, the core concept of clone!veggie is more or less the same

the second thing is that i get way too into world building sometimes and so a lot of pieces of my hcs get mixed up with one another and often don't fit in with established canon (which isn't like abnormal or anything but i want to clarify that i already know some of this doesn't perfectly slot up. in my defense the db timeline doesn't even match up with itself half the time)

the final thing is that while i've seen bits of the anime and the first handful of super episodes, i'm mostly a manga fan, so i view any non-manga parts of dragon ball as free real estate

buckle up, i was not kidding about the length (*immature snickering*)

SO.

first and foremost the relationship between the tuffles and the saiyans: the tuffles are described as being a peaceful yet technologically advanced race, but in my hc, they're a bit more complicated than that. for starters, i don't see how a supposedly peaceful race is going to have high-tech blasters, and while it's possible that they're for defensive purposes, it... really doesn't give off that vibe. also they were super into some fairly questionable science, some of which objectively involved human experimentation (or... humanoid experimentation, i guess)

jumping back to the future for a sec: gohan. gohan is a half-human, half-saiyan male hybrid, and while two separate species somehow producing a hybrid child isn't unheard of, male hybrids are almost always completely infertile. and yet, gohan grows up and has a kid (another explanation is gohan and videl are t4t, which i also love, but it doesn't really fit into this). so how are saiyans and humans not only capable of reproducing together, but capable of having children that can also reproduce? my theory here is that saiyans are genetically modified (early) humans– tuffles arrived on earth sometime prior to homo erectus finishing the jump to homo sapiens, grabbed a handful of various lab rats, and got to work.

this would also explain why saiyan tails look the way they do. to elaborate, here's a spider monkey skeleton:

notice how the tail is made up of more vertebrae that continue along the same curve as the rest of the spine. meanwhile, goku's tail looks like this:

it juts straight out, almost perpendicular to his spinal cord. to me, that does not look like how tails work– it looks grafted on. in the video game kakarot, bulma even makes goku a fake tail for him to fish with that he can just... stick right on there. i know dragon ball science is already broken af (someone please explain to me how dr briefs isn't basically a deity for inventing capsules), but if the tail is a genetic trait that didn't evolve naturally, it makes some sense (in the way anything in dragon ball makes sense, that is)

so– saiyans are a highly adaptable species that seem to be able to eat basically whatever, can both endure and dish out catastrophic amounts of damage, are biologically driven to fight to the point where it's hard to imagine how a society full of them could function at all, get stronger whenever they recover from being seriously injured, can transform into giant apes, and yet have a glaringly obvious weakness that can pretty much completely incapacitate them if you know about it? they seem designed for war, and not in the natural evolution-is-just-funny-like-that-sometimes way.

what we know about the tuffles sort of differs from source to source, but the most negative opinions come from the saiyans– according to vegeta, the tuffles basically treated them as slaves. which... yeah, that adds up, given everything.

anyway, here's where i divorce from canon entirely bc according to gt, king vegeta iii is the one who led the saiyans in the war against the tuffles, which raises... honestly so many questions. so i'm ignoring that; it was vegeta i and he was never officially king, but more on that later. i also need to note that the whole "saiyans lived on planet sadala, fucked it up, and moved to planet plant which later became planet vegeta" to my knowledge is not manga canon but since i like the general idea, i sorta moved it a bit.

in my version, the saiyans and the tuffles both lived on planet sadala, but the war between the two species got a little out of hand and the planet was kaputski (to be fair, if you suddenly got to turn into a giant ape and wreak havoc on the people who were possibly enslaving you, you might go a bit overboard too), so the saiyans stole all the tuffles' ships and gtfo'd (this is why everyone was so sure the tuffles were gone. bc typically blowing up someone's planet is a good way to get rid of all of them. at least in theory– i'm sure frieza can tell you all about how well it works in practice)

back to vegeta i– he wasn't a king, technically, but he was the saiyan who started, led, and according to all saiyan sources (which are biased but w/e) finished the revolt, and chose to die on the planet in an act of heroic sacrifice and/or symbolism and/or his daughter twisted a fact or two bc propaganda is a game we all can play, and the new planet they landed on was named after him. said daughter took the same name, declared the planet and the king to be one and the same, and set about conquering the shit out of it. so vegeta ii was technically the first king but if you asked her she was the second and also disrespecting her father and probably also about to be killed via spear (oh btw king vegeta ii is famed for her giant war spear which was very cool and intimidating and probably didn't see much use outside of ritual combat bc it's honestly more efficient to just blast people but all the statues and art and whatnot have her with it)

i'm going to take a minute to gloat about vegeta ii bc honestly she's one of my alltime favorite ocs that i've made, despite the fact that i don't intend to ever have her show up in anything (yass gurl haunt that narrative!!!) but basically she's a deeply respected figure in saiyan culture, although she died way before any of the saiyans still alive in dbz were born (except nappa), bc she... basically built saiyan culture from scratch. pretty much all the core beliefs the saiyans as a people had were from her very deliberately and surprisingly sneakily forcing them to be developed bc she was fully aware that the saiyans needed more than a love of battle to actually survive as a society independent of the tuffles. she basically had the whole thing set up and ready to last and become a proper empire but unfortunately the one kid that lived long enough to succeed her (by killing her in combat, obviously, and yes the others all tried and died– she's an important figure, not a nice one) ran face first into frieza and we all know how that went down

anyhow, vegeta ii's reign (which lasted a crazy long time bc she lived way longer than she should've and almost certainly used some kind of not-so-great method of living that long, but in her defense she needed to make sure at least one of her kids was cool enough to be in charge, so what's a few war crimes between monarchs) pretty much cemented all the saiyan pride and identity that vegeta iv is so fond of, and not just bc she was his grandma either.

the reason i have to get through all of that to explain my clone!vegeta theory is bc i need to explain why king vegeta iii became king in the first place– under vegeta ii's system, anyone could challenge for the throne at any time, regardless of who they were. her own children were expected - but not required - to do so, and if she died before an heir could kill her in glorious combat, the princes would become stewards and have the duty of finding the next king (who couldn't be one of them. fight and die for that shit like a real saiyan or no throne for you). however, there was actively incentive not to do that bc A) whoever's in charge has to actually be in charge and therefore gets to fight way less, and B) in order to become king you had to be ritually stripped of your identity as a person with the understanding that if you died during your challenge your name would be stricken from all records, none of your family or friends would ever acknowledge that you had ever existed, and you would simply cease to be (the afterlife doesn't follow these rules but most of the saiyans who are there still do, including the ones who by saiyan law no longer exist. say what you will about saiyans; they're a dedicated lot)

so anyway vegeta iii (before becoming vegeta iii – he had a different name bc names are super important in my version of saiyan culture but if i get into that here we will literally be here for the rest of the week - but i'll call him that for the sake of my sanity) is somewhat reluctant to challenge for the throne bc none of his siblings have managed it (not that they exist anymore whoops), but one of his colleagues/presumed ruling partner (not gonna get into saiyan relationships here either sorry) has been pushing him to do so for a while now

i think i've gone through a few names for vegeta's not-mom, but the most recent one is touga (from tougarashi, or capsicum annuum, and yes i was thinking of neon orange glimmer song by the mountain goats when i named her), so i'll call her that. touga is a pretty saiyan-y saiyan– she's violent, temperamental, proud, strong, and so forth, but another thing she is is deeply, deeply loyal to her people. she's also very aware of vegeta iii's weaknesses (such as "will probably care a little too much about kids if he has any" and "may make decisions based off of feelings instead of cold hard practical logic" and "seems likely to develop emotional attachments to family members"; you know, normal kingly failings) and has the lady macbeth-esque stainless steel go-fuck-yourself coldness to make up for her future husband's pathetic little morals or whatever

anyway, touga pushes vegeta iii to go for the throne bc holy shit his mom has been alive for way too long but also she has faith in hi or something and duty and whatever and dude do it if you ever want this saiyan tail, and eventually he caves and goes for it. he fights his mom, wins, gets a shiny new king name and is all set to run his kingdom. and then king cold shows up.

now in between killing his mom and our favorite chilly boys coming to town, vegeta iii and touga have had a kid, prince escallion (who is a girl ftr but i can't get into saiyan thoughts on sex/gender or the language or even escallion herself in this post bc we will never ever leave). escallion is pretty neat, just the strongest baby in history or whatever, but then post-cold arriving and politely yoinking the saiyans into his empire, rumors start spreading that frieza miiiiight be wanting a saiyan under his personal command. no prizes for guessing whose palace he's looking at for pickings. obviously the only prince they've got is not someone they can afford to lose, but they need a sure bet on super-infants and can't afford hoping for a genetic bingo, so vegeta iii assembles the universe's swole-est scientists and has them get started on making the Coolest Baby Ever (by cloning him, the king, bc he's the strongest but also bc frieza is an asshole and likes playing mind games with people so let's be real he's taking one of the king's kids no matter how tough they are)

so vegeta iv gets made (and named inappropriately but that's frieza's fault and a story for another time so ignore it for now) and eventually tarble is born and almost immediately sent off just in case frieza decides to be a bigger dick than usual (spoilers: frieza is going to decide to be an even bigger dick than that), and vegeta gets to spend the first few years of his life with his dad, big sis, and not-mom until he gets shipped off to go be a child soldier/slave/distraction, at which point frieza goes ahead and blows up the planet. there's more to it than just that, but i may actually want to write it out some day, so i'll keep the rest to myself for now.

             “ What the hell is that supposed to mean?! ”

             If he hadn’t already reconsidered his grand idea to bring his grandson and his little friend along with him a thousand times over, mainly due to his own inexperience with children, the girl’s clear disregard for him throwing his own life into harm’s way to save her sorry ass had him regretting it entirely. He had entered into this with the full intention of letting them both fend for themselves. Gohan was likely stronger than even he was now, and Ninazu proved capable enough herself in a fight. He swore the girl had a damn target on her back, though, or a knack for getting into trouble. He kept an eye on both of them through instinct, the habit of working on a team and ensuring everyone made it to the after party, even if banged up and half alive. But, he made sure to allow them their own agency to build confidence. 

             “ That blast would have killed you! And I doubt you can heal yourself if you’re completely obliterated! ” He shot a glance at Gohan, who shrugged a shoulder and rubbed the back of his neck, his golden hair fading to black. The kid was shit when it came to confrontation. “ You’re lucky I gave enough of a shit to save you! I’ve told you both before: these assholes play dirty. They don’t care if you’re engaged in a fight with another warrior. They’ll fire at your back if they think they can get away with it! If you don’t want me stepping in, pay attention! ”
