#Broly with short hair

[jezaguti]

Lo pienso colorear... Algún día.

I plan to color it... Someday.

Básicamente, un AU actual de reencarnación. Me gusta pensar que forma parte de A Través del Tiempo y el Espacio. Daré más detalles de este AU en alguno de mis blogs secundarios. Pero en fin. Amo está shipp.

Basically, a reincarnation current AU. I like to think of it as part of A Través del Tiempo y el Espacio. I will give more details of this AU in one of my secondary blogs. But anyway. I love this shipp.

A TASTE IN POWER || GOGETA X READER

GOGETA X READER

Tags: No use of Y/N, takes place after the events of DBS Broly. Reader is implied AFAB.

Notes: A short simple drabblet for Gogeta. Nothing really occurring plot wise other than a simple encounter. Requests are open so feel free to drop them if you are interested.

"You shouldn't be here. It's dangerous."

The fusion of Goku and Vegeta, Gogeta, stands before you with his back facing you. His blue spiky hair flows with the wind and for a second he forgets why he was brought to existence in the first place. Your eyes watched the merged being, fixed in place like a statue. A little too still you would have thought. The slightest of noise from you jumping up and onto your feet catches the man's attention and slowly he turns around to face you.

His expression was serious, with his blue eyes staring intensely at you in terms to who you were and what you meant to him. You weren't a threat for one. No sense of evilness or bad intentions were detected. Gogeta recognizes you as someone close to his fusees. Someone who was greatly important to them. In terms of relationship, it was rather unclear.

Gogeta's eyes soften and he lets out a 'hmph', the noise a combination of Goku and Vegeta's voices. You would have to admit, he was gorgeous face to face. How he was a perfect blend of the two most powerful saiyans throughout the universe. The energy that radiates from the metamoran body so strong that you weren't truly able to put any description of it.

Legendary | Chapter Ten

I lay on the sofa that night, staring up at the arched white ceiling above me. I set the blinds down to engulf the home in darkness; due to the three suns darkness didn't come to Namek whatsoever. I had changed into shorts and a vest top, suited to Namek's warm climate. The sweat slowly ran down my forehead as I knew sleep wasn't coming to me easily tonight. I kept thinking about Broly and his behaviour when we got back to the house, it seemed off to me. I tried knocking on the bedroom door a few times before resting my head. Before I closed my eyes to head to sleep, I thought it would be best to try one more time.

I pulled myself up to sit upright, stretching as I let out a yawn. The travelling and festivities were gradually catching up with me and I was in need of a proper rest. After stretching my legs and finally stepping up, I headed to the bedroom door. I lightly knocked it with my knuckles.

"Broly?" I asked quietly as I knocked again, "Broly is everything okay in there?"

Again I was met with no answer. I sighed as I sat my forehead against the door, once again knocking on the door. Whispering, "Please."

Quietly I heard the door click open, no light shined out as Broly had set down the blinds too. The room was covered in darkness, other than a tiny light near the window. The only sound I could hear was a slight whimpering sound coming from the blanketed mound on the bed. I slowly slipped into the room and closed the door behind me. I called out his name one more time before sitting myself down behind him. When I set my hand on the pillow beside him, my hand was met with dampness. I moved myself a little closer and gently ran my hand over his shoulder, "Broly, why are you crying? What's wrong?"

As my hand touched his shoulder again lightly, he flinched a little and turned himself over to face me. I could see the softened details of his face only slightly in the light. His eyes were red and swollen, tears continuing to stain his cheeks. "I'm sorry, Flora."

"You're sorry?" I questioned, moving his blanket away. "Sorry for what?"

"The way I am." He sniffed. "I have nightmares all the time about my past. It's scary."

"You don't have to be upset Broly, what's caused all this?"

"I heard what The Grand Elder said. I wasn't eavesdropping, I-I promise." His voice hitched as he once again tried to wipe his eyes. "I went to walk back in the room and I heard him talking about my father. I stayed outside the door... I didn't mean it, Flora."

After he finished what he had said he started wailing loudly. The sound was a little overwhelming, all I felt I could do was gently pat his back in reassurance. "There, there. I know you didn't mean it."

"I don't want to hurt you." He sobbed, "When I get angry and I don't remember. I don't want to kill you too. Maybe you'd be better off if I went back to Vampa, that way I could stay away from you."

"Broly, you don't have to go anywhere. We'll figure it all out. Those nightmares you have and the way you turn when you're angry, that's not the Broly I know. Your past doesn't define you, imagine if mine did. I wouldn't be here trying to help the people of Namek." I could feel a surge of empathy course through my veins, I shook my head softly as I moved closer to him. I wrapped my arms around him, cuddling his head into my chest as I let him continue to cry it out. I could see him peak up slightly as he continued to listen attentively. "You're here with me now. Don't worry, I can keep myself safe. We'll figure out how you can control your power together."

He nodded as he snuggled his face into me, his tears made my top wet. I squeaked a little as I felt Broly's monstrous arms wrap around me as he got himself comfortable. I lay myself back on the bed as I cautiously found myself playing with his fluffy hair. His breathing still hitched but I could tell he was a lot more calm than he had been. I looked down as his eyes closed over, he hummed softly as my fingers continued to dance amongst his black strands.

"If you want I can head back to the living room to sleep?" I whispered softly. Broly shook his head, gripping my body a little tighter.

"No... comfy..."

~

The next morning I woke up and lay on my side. I let out a yawn and a small stretch, my movement feeling restricted as I looked down. Broly's arms were still wrapped around my body, my back flush against his chest. I smiled to myself, something about the intimacy made me blush a little. I carefully untangled myself from Broly's embrace, trying not to wake him. Slipping out of bed, I tiptoed to the bathroom to freshen up, allowing Broly to continue resting peacefully. As I splashed some water on my face, I couldn't shake off the events of last night from my mind. Broly's vulnerability had surprised me, but it also made me feel closer to him in a way I hadn't anticipated.

After gathering my thoughts, I headed back to the bedroom to find Broly stirring awake. His eyes fluttered open, and he blinked sleepily before his gaze met mine. There was a brief moment of silence before a small, shy smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Morning," I greeted softly, returning his smile.

"Morning," he replied, his voice still husky from sleep. He shifted on the bed, sitting up slowly and running a hand through his messy hair.

"How are you feeling?" I asked, concern evident in my voice.

Broly paused for a moment as he had to think about his answer. With a hint of uncertainty in his voice, he finally responded "Better, I think."

I nodded understandingly. "It's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. Just know that I'm here for you, okay?"

He gave me a grateful nod, his expression softening. "Thank you, Flora. I... I really appreciate it."

With a reassuring smile, I made my way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, leaving Broly to gather his thoughts. As I went about cooking, I couldn't help but feel a sense of determination wash over me. I was determined to help Broly overcome his haunting past and I was determined to help him gain control over this "Legendary Super Saiyan" form he had. Maybe I needed more answers before I could even think about helping him, however helping him was proving to be my goal.

I set a pan on the hob, tossing some vegetables in along with some oil and seasoning. Keeping it on a low simmer I toasted and buttered some bread. As I continued to stir the frying vegetables I felt the soft touch of massive hands slip around my waist. I jolted back a little, looking up as my eyes met Broly's. He smiled warmly, his hair was soaked and dripped onto my shoulder. "Smells good."

"Have you just showered?" I asked him, turning around to face him. "You need to dry your hair it'll make a mess."

He nodded quickly, letting go of me to run and grab a towel. I blushed a little to myself as I cracked a couple of eggs in the pan, finishing up what was supposed to be breakfast omelettes with toast. I sat our plates down at the table, taking my seat on the plush cushion at the floor. Broly returned, towel rubbing off his head as he sat down across from me. We made mindless small talk over our breakfast. The tension from last night seemed to have dispersed, replaced with a feeling of tranquility. Broly relaxed where he sat, his shoulders no longer tense with worry. I couldn't help but beam as I saw him clearly enjoying what I made him.

After breakfast we agreed we'd spend the day relaxing before allowing ourselves to begin our rigorous training exercises. A day of rest wasn't something I allowed myself to have often so the thought was a little unusual while the sentiment was nice. We started off with a little walk, getting to know our location better. The lush greenery and crystal-clear lakes providing a soothing backdrop to our long conversation we shared. The longer we strolled, the more I found Broly was able to open up a little more about his father and his past. He was sent to Vampa as a baby, finding out that he could transform into a crazed ape like beast under the moon. That was what led to his father's demise. The creature whose ear he wears around his waist bit off his tail to stop it from happening again. The Saiyan anatomy sounded crazy to me. We sat down by the waters in amongst the grass and flowers. With his left thumb he tugged at the metal collar around his neck, something I had noticed when we first met.

"When I'd get out of control, the way The Grand Elder said I do, father would press a button and the collar would go BZZZZZ." He continued, "It would really hurt. I would always fall over shaking, I'd feel so cold when I'd wake up."

"I'm sorry Broly," I said softly as I listened to him intently. I could feel my heart ache for him. I reached out, gently taking his hand and squeezed it reassuringly. "You're not alone anymore. I'll figure out a way I can help you control your powers. I won't hurt you like he did, I promise."

He glanced at me, the light shining off a wet glimmer in his eyes. "Do you really think you can?"

I firmly nodded in response, "I do. Together we'll find a way. Until then you can count on me for anything. I'll do my best. The emotional support thing is really new to me but I'll surely try my best."

I caught a glimpse of the small smile creeping its way across his lips. For the first time since we met, I saw hope shine in his eyes. "Thank you Flora. I... I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Hey." I said, gazing back at him with the same sincerity. "Just know you don't have to deal with this all on your own anymore. We're in this together. Like it or not, you're stuck with me now."

The rest of our night was spent back at the house. We rested up on the sofa and watched some films that were broadcast on a little screen. Broly suspected they were from Earth. Tales of adventure and sacrifice, stories of heartache and choices, it was all very investing. Broly kept his arm around me as I tiredly rested my head against his chest. By the end of the night I recalled being carried to bed in his arms, tucked in and wrapped up similarly to how I had done it with him the night before.

There was a feeling that felt new and terrifying inside me, something I hadn't realised I could even feel. The affection from him made me feel warm and I was eager to reciprocate it.

Black!Reader Fanfics!

I wanted to share the change happening on this tumblr, I know it’s been silent for a min because of a lot of stuff going on in my personal life and job.

To answer one question continuously no this page isn’t dead lol, as some that follow me see the stuff I like and reblog.

Just making that clear, so the changes is I want to write for different fandoms for black readers and not just one alone. Which kinda of burned me out.

Don’t get me wrong I still love Bi-Han and I have seen the latest things as far as mortal kombat and the other characters. I am heavily still in love.

But I have to be honest with myself, I’m not a person that can only write for only one fandom. I love to many things and I want to see more black women in those fandom. It’s so little, and I will be taking on more requests that won’t be Mortal Kombat alone.

FANDOMS INCLUDE:

Mortal Kombat

John Wick

TMNT 2016

FNF Pico

Rick and Morty

Planet Of The Apes - Caesar

Shadow The Hedgehog (Black reader turned into a hedgehog or any other animal)

Cult of The Lamb - Narinder (Black Sheep)

Superman

DBZ/DBS Broly

Tekken

Venom

There are others but these a fandoms and the only reason I don’t share or do specific ones, because I don’t want to be kink shamed lol. Because I be thinking I’m the only one that like these.

I do human ones, but I definitely enjoy monster fucking and such.

Now there is another thing I do want to share and express, when it comes to how I write said reader

How I Write Black Readers!

Now ya’ll that follow me or even see my blog I am a black woman, so of course I can write black girls and other stuff.

But I felt worried sharing the specific kind of black girl I write, and I love all the other black girl reader stuff. But I sometimes try to find ones with a bit of my personality and such

Examples being; I am super introverted like ya’ll don’t know lol, I’m very shy to as well. I don’t have much ghetto in like I have very ghetto friends we know at least that one friend that’s ready to box the fuck out of anyone lol.

I usually have to be pushed to that level of ghetto, it can slightly come out. But I don’t walk it or wear it on my skin like some of my friends do.

I’m your friendly neighborhood weirdo, super nerdy, bookworm, and I listen to all genres of music literally lol. But the things I read in certain stories for black girls, are music I don’t listen to.

I listen to limited rap songs and I don’t listen to a lot of female and Male rappers especially the new ones. I would listen to a Doja Cat and I love me some Nicki Minaj. The rare times I listen to the others such as Cardi or Ice Spice and others is like when there in features of songs. And if it sounds good. But never listen to there songs alone.

The same applies to male rappers, if anything I don’t listen much to there’s more so. I only find rare gems. I listen to a lot of previous rappers and if they have good new ones.

I just can’t stand gibberish rapping, and music that only talk about the hood, ass, titties, etc alone. That make songs about the same thing lol, not knocking any one that does. It’s just not my taste, so nothing wrong with what you enjoy.

So you won’t see me talking or writing it in my pieces. I like Celtic music, certain kid songs(which ya’ll have to admit some are like bops). Especially Desmond Dennis. I like game soundtracks, and fantasy instrumentals, etc.

Black Girl Hairstyles

Now with this I have went through years of all the hairstyles you can name in the fucking book lol

I actually mainly rock a short pixie cut, because I’m just too lazy to do my hair.

But I can write other descriptions of hairstyles because I’ve been through those faze

Black Girl Kinks

I’m a monster fucker, so you know damn well how kinky I am

The only kink I don’t do that some may is pegging. That’s just not for me sorry lol.

I am SUPER SUBMISSIVE! So I’m not really a dominant in me and my significant other. FUCK ME UP AND COMMAND ME DAMMIT!

BDSM I do love, forever will

Choke the fuck out of me

Pregnancy kink is a MUST! If you are fucking sexy. I will ride that everyday and will have as many babies as NEEDED!

These kinks are literally my all time favorite

I do try to cater to all forms of black girls I know and the friends I have. Just so it appeals to a wider audience, but I do write a lot of black!reader with my kind of personality and those with similar personality and taste like me.

This post can go on for awhile about my taste and interest. But I’ll let my writing do the talking. I just wanted to make those aware, because I am writing a black girl. But ppl sometimes say I have white people taste and such, which made me had to write differently which would be hard sometimes because I feel like I’m writing it bad at the same time.

I hope this post can give my followers and future followers on what I will be writing and how I write.

I will make a master list of the upcoming fanfictions and One-shots I will be writing. While I finish up the requests sent to me.

Disclaimer

I will also showcase other things such as projects I’m working on and things. Every so often, but it is mainly for my writing for the blerds like me! :3

What is your favorite Bulma outfit or hairstyle?

Oh boy this is actually my first as and what a question…

Bulma looks good in ALL her looks— I’m especially fond of her short hair— Her Super look is amazing as well as the shorter hair she sports toward the end of Dragon Ball and DBZ but if I really had to pick only one…

Her Namek hair is iconic! As is her hair in the Android/Cell Sagas… that short-ish, bob-ish look is gorgeous on her!

As for outfits, she looks great in anything. I’m especially fond of her Broly puffy outfit because she’s just… REALLY cute (and I like puffy clothing…)

And her regular outfit in that movie isn’t exactly nasty either like… look at her…

But again, if I could only pick ONE… this

This this this this THIS THIS

As a side note, the answer to this question was nearly just THIS, flat. It’s a borderline perfect look for her. Short hair, bright, colourful, has the neck scarf (a perfect accessory for her!) and she just looks like even more of a 999/10 than normal. If I wasn’t kinda partial to her Namek hair, it’d be an easy answer. God, just LOOK AT HER.

Anyway I am the #1 Bulma fan, and she doesn’t really have a bad look, but getting to answer this question was a delight. Thank you so much!

What do you think of the Saiyan's overall redesign in the DBS Broly Movie? Personally, I didn't like how they really stuck to that, "All Saiyans have black hair," thing. I thought the original King Vegeta and Saiyans surrounding him looked more interesting in DBZ. They even had a blonde guy when KV blew up those planets lmao (if only they knew)

I know the guy your talking about. He's from the flashback montage right before Vegeta dies.

Of course, his pal over there is rocking an SSJ4 Gingergeta look too, so this shot is pretty wild for a bunch of reasons. And then King Vegeta raises his hand and blows up three planets, including the one they're standing on, so I don't know what to make of that.

Anyway, as far as the hair color goes, the black-hair-only rule came from the scene where Vegeta disputes Trunks' claim to be a Saiyan, so the rule didn't exist back when DBZ Episode 86 was made. We can still interpret this in a few ways.

Vegeta was just stone cold wrong. I say this a lot, but it bears repeating: Most of what we know about Saiyans comes from Vegeta, but he's not an infallible source. There's bound to be things he doesn't know or couldn't know, and he probably still clings to a lot of propaganda fed to him in his youth.

The flashbacks aren't meant to be taken literally, and this could just be a coloring error in an otherwise consistent portrayal of the Saiyans.

The blonde guy could be a half-Saiyan like Trunks.

The blonde guy just likes to bleache his hair.

He's got some kind of medical condition that discolors his hair

Nonetheless, once Toriyama laid down the black hair rule, it appears to have been followed pretty closely, except...

Nion, one of the scientists in the nursery in DBS: Broly, has dark blue hair. Maybe indigo? You get the idea. I don't think this is a trick of the light, either, since King Vegeta's in this scene, and his hair looks black. Nion clearly has a different hair color.

At first, I wondered if this meant she wasn't a Saiyan. Nion doesn't appear to have a tail either, and her uniform is too form-fitting for her to stuff it inside her clothes like her robed co-workers. But by all accounts, she seems to be a Saiyan character, and it makes sense. She speaks rather hopefully of Broly possibly becoming the next Super Saiyan, and one of Frieza's bootlicks wouldn't be nearly so enthusiastic when speaking of such a thing.

So what's up with Nion? Well, it's probably the same story as that blonde guy from DBZ 86. She colors her hair, or she's got some alien ancestry, or maybe there's more to Saiyans than Vegeta knew. My guess is that the movie was trying to show that there's a particular fashion among Saiyan scientists. The men in this scene all had very short, more "conventional haircuts". They also wore long choir robes. Nion has a different look, but there's like nine other women in the nursery with the exact same style, suggesting that they all wear that look to signify their profession. So maybe the blue hair is part of that, or Nion picked it up while she was at space college or something.

So from a hair standpoint, I think they just kind of ended up back where they started. Pure-blooded Saiyans may all start with black hair, and most of them stay that way, but a few Saiyans seem to develop an interest in coloring their hair for cosmetic reasons.

No, the main change I noticed from the Broly movie was that most of the Saiyan uniforms we saw were black and/or blue, which is kind of a shame, because I liked the various colors used in DBZ. Bardock had his green and black armor, Fasha/Seripa had pink, Towa had Carolina Tarheel blue, and so on. The movie also did Paragus dirty, because Paragus looked like the fuckin' man in Movie 8, and his DBS looks were all a downgrade.

At least Gine got pink wristbands and sort of a dark teal outfit. That might be closer to green, but I can't tell. Anyway, I get it, they're uniforms. The whole point is that everyone looks the same. Still, I liked the idea that someone could requisition a hot pink and lime green armor and it was totally cool.

Ultimately, flashback scenes like these don't carry that much weight, since they're always susceptible to another retcon. One of these years, they'll do some "Andor"-style series about the Saiyan/Tuffle War, and we'll see a whole other depiction of Saiyans that will turn all of this on its ear, and I'll probably be coming up with some other rationale to make it all fit together.

Mostly, I'm just glad we got a peek into Saiyan culture beyond the front-line warriors in the DBZ flashbacks. Nion and her colleagues raise more questions than answers, but I'm still grateful for the questions. I think fans have postulated characters like Beetz and Gine for a long time, and the movie confirms that there was definitely more to Saiyan society than fighting.

Come oblivion His devoid eyes welcome thee You'll sleep forever

Limit Breaker Broly for Broly Day! The poppy symbolizes death and oblivion. I think that suits Broly well considering his threatening aura and his desire to cut Goku's lifespan short. His red and black hair also matches the poppy flower quite well. Some red poppy varieties look like they have eyes where the center and I thought that was a great contrast to the blank eyes that he has. I also had to make it creepy and weird because...reasons.

This is 2 out of 3 in this Broly flower series. I'm having a ton of fun drawing Broly like a ghastly wraith surrounded by flowers. The haiku are a fun challenge too.

[tobiasdrake]

So I need to meet the pirates at the--

Huh. When we swim, the reflection of our hair in the water makes it look like we're wearing pool floaties. Valere's fades in and out but Zale's is ever present.

Garl, meanwhile, is the most bouyant motherfucker ever to exist. He doesn't even swim. He kicks his legs a little bit to propel himself but he doesn't tread water like Valere and Zale do; He hangs onto his backpack and floats there.

Garl, what do you have in your backpack counterweighting all of that cookware? Tell me your secrets, you unsinkable bouncy man!

...what was I doing? Right, harassing townsfolk.

888 G!? CHOKE ON MY STAFF YOU--

I may have overreacted. And I apologize if anyone was upset by my entirely warranted outburst of violence.

Having been calmly and civilly persuaded to stand down/dragged from the room by Garl and Zale, we are now pursuing an alternative strategy.

The plan was to cook food and then sell it for profit. We are here in the mole mines because we have a merchant at the campfire ready to sell things hot off the pan.

However, we've run into a bit of a snag. That is, after crunching the numbers, we've found that there is no monetary value added to food by cooking it. We can get the same results by selling the raw ingredients. So we trekked up here for nothing.

And after overturning Garl's entire bag into the mole merchant's hands while he pleaded with me to stop, we're still short 50 G.

*deep breath* It's okay. That's on me. It's my fault for agreeing to pursue a peaceful solution, rather than the time-tested and proven standby.

Wanton violence.

It's done. A lot of skulls were cracked to make this purchase happen. Consider it a gesture of my infinite mercy that yours wasn't one of them.

Oh, and in case anyone asks why the Coral Cascades are red now, just tell them it's probably fine and I'm sure it will go back to normal in due time.

I should burn down the dock you're hiding under. >_<

I should burn down this whole city.

You know, where I come from, people weren't this fucking uppity, greedy, and rude. We were a small village with some weird practices but people took care of each other and were respectful of other people's--

Oh shit, people in Brisk leave valuable goods out on their rooftops. I'm stealing everything that isn't nailed down!

90 GOLD to cheat at a rigged spinny wheel game? I just spent nearly every cent I had on Yomara's Eye! What kind of sucker do you think I--

I. Don't. Want to hear it. Zale.

...hey, does anyone remember what we were supposed to be doing in this-- OH SHIT

I was doing my hair.

I still don't know why we're doing this instead of simply trading quest for quest, but okay. Not to brag but I'm pretty sure I can arm-wrestle anybody under the table. And by "I", I mean Garl.

Aww, what a delightfully sycophantic way of saying "I'm the guy with the muscles so this should probably be my job."

You don't need to blow smoke up my ass but I appreciate you all the same, and I agree wholeheartedly. Go get 'em, Garl.

What.

WHAT.

NUH NUH NUH Don't just shrink back down and mysteriously regenerate your torn shirt, I demand an explanation for what the fuck that just was. Quartermaster Broly needs to come clean right the fuck now or I'm going to start hitting every single person here.

Oh. That makes sense. I apologize. Quartermaster Venom, then.

You know, I was wondering how the shirt regenerated but I wrote it off as cartoon shenanigans. I shouldn't have made assumptions about the physics of our universe. That's my bad.

Well, I guess we're going to help you go look for the Vespertine, then. That's fine. I wanted to do that anyway.

Okay, that will be the other wizard. Back when he was cryptically spoiling the plot, Archivist mentioned there'd be two of them that we have to face on this island.

Are they required to accept it? Or do you have to have a pre-existing financial transaction going on, and then you slip it in there like a hidden clause in the Terms of Service that nobody reads?

Does it still count as his ship after his crew mutinied and hurled him overboard? I feel like it's not his ship anymore. You're planning to cheat and swindle him out of his rights to a product he has no true ownership of. That's like buying an NFT with counterfeit currency. Who's scamming who in that scenario?

Bag must be getting pretty tight. You sure you can carry all that, Garl?

Good choice. I wouldn't want to be crammed in with all those people either. We'll come by and pick you up once we're done, uh....

Okay, after that last wizard, I'm genuinely not sure if we need to hit this one with a stick or talk about their feelings. But I have my stick and I have my Garl so I'm all set for either.

I mean. I know technically we're just going there to rob but I'm sure we'll meet the wizard along the way. These things don't tend to go smoothly.

You're pirates; I expect a bit of sleight of hand from people like you. But I appreciate the new minigame all the same.

You should probably go tell Captain Cliche, as I've been informed it's pronounced, that she won't be hearing from us for a while.

I decided to watch Dragonball Evolution for the first time since 2009 now that I’ve actually finished dbz and after watching 10 minutes I started taking notes. So here they are if you were curious:

* I do like the effect of the dust swirling around when Goku powers up at the beginning

* Grandpa Gohan acts a lot like Goku too??

* Why does Mai have a boob window???

* Why is Chi Chi the popular girl?

* The hair gel bit was kinda fun tbh

* What’s with the weird food? Is that a dbz thing?

* Why does Goku sneak out to go to a party? Does Gohan have a problem with parties?

* They are learning about the lunar eclipse in highschool?

* I swear, someone just made a dbz self-insert modern AU fan fiction and pitched it as a movie

* Shennron is so short omg

* How is this a real movie? It was licensed by Tohei, people sat down and made this

*He’s literally wearing the opposite colors he’s supposed to be wearing, how??

Speculation - "No More Screaming Muscle Men."

I'll try to keep this short. This is pure speculation on my part, but I imagine that Akira Toriyama might have been a little sick and tired of Dragon Ball Z. What is the stereotype of DBZ - big dudes with big hair, screaming out all their attacks. I imagine he didn't want to do that again for a long time

Look at his first major manga after the end of Dragonball Z. Sandland a kid and two old men, fighting demons.

Now consider every major character that's been added to Dragon Ball Super ever since the anime came back?

A skinny cat. An effeminate twink. And Goku's first new transformation is to get Skinnier.

Honestly, it's better for the brand. Only the regular Z-Squad fit the old mold of "screaming, muscle men." Even the saiyans from Universe 6 are remarkably skinny.

(New Broly doesn't count because he's grandfathered in.)

And who's the last opponent in the Tournament of Power.

Jiren is big, but doesn't talk much, and has no hair.

Also consider everyone else in the Tournament of Power - Werewolves, Aliens, Robots, Superheroes, Magical Girls, etc. Like I said it's better for the brand.

And that's it. It's not really a theory, it's just something I notice. Granola looks like an old fashioned DBZ character, thou.

He avoids unnecessary conflicts, but is brave, fierce and a dangerous fighter when the situation demands it. The tragedy he suffered, with the murder of his parents and the kidnapping of his sister by Shadaloo, deeply shaped his personality. Renji developed an excessive emotional shield, becoming introspective. He demands a lot of himself, as this self-demand can lead to exhaustion and low self-esteem. Despite his introspection, Renji is wise and mature. Unlike other victims of Shadaloo who let themselves be carried away by hatred and desire for revenge, such as Juri, Renji remains focused and demonstrates an unshakable willpower and conviction. He strives to act fairly and rationally, as evidenced by his decision to make a deal with Juri rather than give in to the temptation to eliminate her. Internally, Renji struggles with the fear of losing emotional control and the pressure of always being the pillar of strength for others.

In his personal relationships, Renji is loyal and dedicated. He deeply values ​​trust and honesty, and expects the same from others. However, his low self-esteem prevents him from enjoying genuine moments and relationships, as he feels he does not deserve them.

In short, Renji is a phlegmatic, kind, fun-loving and very determined young man. He will face whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

to achieve his goals, qualities that endear him to his fans around the world and to those who know him. However, his internal struggle with vulnerability and constant self-demand add a layer of complexity to his personality, making him a deeply human and realistic character. His empathy, wisdom, and strategic ability are balanced by his fears and emotional challenges, creating a rich and multifaceted portrait of a modern hero.

@dragvnsovl asked- [ LOVE ] //S wants to cuddle REASONS TO TACKLE. (accepting!)

"WAUGH-!" Cue a surprised yelp from the cyborg as his vision is enveloped by a flash of black hair and a much bigger body. Barely one foot back inside and he's already getting scooped up. Perhaps it's for the best he hadn't put any shoes on before the short trip outside. Less of a hassle. he supposed.

He's met with the plush of a couch as he lands with an 'oof!'. And for a moment, he's given some time to breathe. His hands relaxing their grip on broad shoulders. Something he hadn't noticed he had been doing until now. Lambda's head pops out of the crook of Broly's neck.

"Hi to you too." His shock wanes into embarrassment at his outburst a moment ago, enough to earn a small laugh from it. "I wasn't gone for that long."

[flamestone09]

your sento saiyans reminded me about a short hyper fixation i had during a lunch break after seeing your art on reddit. my idea was that how ever bajillion years ago saiyans started evolving from oozaru's, a amount of them migrated towards the poles, instead of the islands (i'm going off DBS-broly movie planet vegeta). they would look a lot like, if not close to identical to how ssj4 is, since due to the cold climate of the poles, they would need the fur and extra hair. since theirs no vegetation, i'd imagine they'd become predators, and get larger canines, often be solo throughout there lives, stuff like that. also, guys get beards, cause, its gonna be cold. dark red or black body and tail fur to soak up more UV to heat their bodies. they are also going to be slightly taller, so around 7ft since they're still less like the saiyan's (goku, vegeta), and more oozaru. generally have more ki/phyical strength than a standard saiyan, so not quite ssj4, but somewhere between it and ssj3.

just wondering what other varients there might be. btw love your art mate!

[diffxrentwxrlds]

Ngl, Broly don't look too bad with short hair!

~Looked like an armor bro to be honest. But yeah, not a totally bad look.

MY EXPLANATION OF GOHAN'S STRENGTH IN DBS: SUPER HERO

There are a few official statements, but I'm just giving my own explanation based off of DB lore, how Gohan's potential unleashed form was explained in the manga & anime, what Gohan's true power has been described to be in the series, & what was said/implied about Gohan's power in DBS: Super Hero & interviews for the film. So, let's see if I can get it correct (or at least close) before we get an official explanation.

Obviously it's not "Gohan Blanco." Ppl just call it that to associate it to something that fans created and to use key words to get ppl's attention.

• Gohan Blanco: white hair and blue eyes.

• Gohan Beast: light gray hair and red irises.

Similarities are there of course, but there were also fans who came up with the name "Super Saiyan God" years before Battle of Gods debuted, as well as fans who made blue haired SSJ designs before SSB.

HOW POTENTIAL UNLEASHED WORKS:

The power that the Namekian Great Elder (Elder Guru) awakened for Gohan on Namek was only Gohan's own latent potential. Nothing extra.

However, Elder Kai's ritual was able to draw out hidden abilities far beyond ones own potential.

This is part of the reason why Potential Unleashed Gohan can become so strong over a short period of time.

Gohan's potential & abilities were already great. And now, thanks to Elder Kai, Gohan's potential has been advanced far beyond his normal limits.

[FORESHADOWING]

In DBS EP 90, a motivated Gohan tells Goku that he is striving for an ultimate form that nobody has seen before.

(This episode aired in 2017; the same year that Toriyama began to think up a script for DBS: Super Hero. Wether this is simply a coincidence or on purpose is unknown for now. But, it is intriguing.)

Then, during the final battle in DBS: Super Hero, Gohan charged up his ki to the max & his rage triggered a new transformation.

A new ultimate form is teased in the DBS anime continuity. ✔

DBS: Super Hero teases at how strong Gohan could be if he kept training (Gohan had actually been training in secret). ✔

And at the end of Super Hero, Gohan achieves a new ultimate form that no one has ever seen before. (DBS movies take place in the DBS anime continuity.) ✔

There are those who say that Gohan's new form resembles Future Trunks' Rage form. And it kinda does. However, Trunks' Super Saiyan Rage form is a "Super Saiyan transformation." On the other hand, Gohan Beast IS NOT a Super Saiyan transformation. It's the beastly rage that Gohan has had since he was a small child, but now combined with his Potential Unleashed power.

(This "Beast" form also has similarities to Broly's ability to use his Oozaru power in his base form.)

It's obvious that the "Beast" transformation is a homage to pre-teen Gohan transforming into SSJ2, BUT... Gohan Beast is also a homage to kid Gohan transforming into an Oozaru.

Gohan has always had 2 things.

Amazing potential due to Earthling potential mixed with Saiyan abilities.

His inner-beast that resurfaces from great rage.

[THE INNER-BEAST]

Gohan's inner-beast has always been a part of him. We've see it come forth when he was a child, a pre-teen, & again as an adult in Super Hero.

MASTERED SSJ Gohan:

SSJ power controlled to the point that it's as if it was Gohan's base form.

SUPER SAIYAN 2 Gohan:

The transformed state of Super Saiyan triggered by Gohan's rage that resulted in his inner-beast (his true power) being released while in his Super Saiyan form.

POTENTIAL UNLEASHED Gohan:

Gohan's latent potential released without the need to transform into a Super Saiyan + power & abilities beyond his normal limits .

BEAST UNLEASHED Gohan:

Ultimate Gohan's non-Super Saiyan transformation triggered by rage. Gohan's inner-beast (his true power) that enjoys battle is once again released.

SSJ2 Gohan & BEAST Gohan:

Gohan could still use the SSJ2 power as an adolescent & adult, but Gohan did not have the same beast-like rage as he did when he first transformed into SSJ2. Nor did he want to become like that again.

But, in DBS: Super Hero when Ultimate Gohan snaps, his inner-beast awakens again.

As a pre-teen, Gohan's awakened inner-beast/his true power was something terrifying to everyone. He became very demented, lost control of himself, & went berserk.

As an adult in Super Hero, we see Gohan's malicious personality resurface again as he begins to lose himself in battle before Gohan regains his focus & controls his inner-beast. (Then, Gohan quickly ends Cell Max instead of toying with his enemy as he had done before against Perfect Cell.)

POWER LEVEL: 💪

Power level wise, Gohan's new beast form is stronger than Goku's Super Saiyan forms.

Ultimate Gohan in DBS was able to compete with SSB Goku. So at that point, Gohan was at least in a realm of power similar to SSB & above SSG. With how Gohan's rage filled transformations work, Gohan always skyrockets in power. So, its easy to understand that Gohan Beast is stronger than SSB and SSBKK.

But, just like Gohan Beast, Ultra Instict IS NOT a Super Saiyan form. From what we've been shown, UI Goku is stronger than Gogeta Blue and Full Power Super Saiyan Broly. Ultra Instinct is in a higher realm of power above SSB, just as how SSG was in a higher realm of power above SSJ Gogeta/SSJ Vegito.

So, simply put...

Ultra Instinct Goku > Beast Unleashed Gohan > Super Saiyan Blue Goku > Potential Unleashed Gohan > Super Saiyan God Goku > Super Saiyan 1-3 transformations.

DESIGN INFLUENCE: 🎨

• Designed to resemble pre-teen Gohan's SSJ2 form (possibly suggesting that SSJ2 Gohan looks that way due to his inner-beast awakening in SSJ form).

• Homage to the limited color SSJ design (white hair & red eyes).

• Gohan gains pupils while in his new form, similar to how SSJ3 has pupils & the previous SSJ forms do not.

• Gohan's hair grows longer similar to SSJ3 & stands upwards.

This form also resembles the scrapped design for SSJ3 Goku. The hair grows longer and is slanted back & upwards.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE FORM:

Although, I do understand why SSJ2 was referenced for Gohan Beast, I'm just not a big fan of the SSJ2 callback & the really long hair. But, it's not terrible & I don't dislike it as much as some ppl do. I'm kinda on the fence with how I feel about it. It could've been better, but I think parts of it was good. I like the outline around the eyes, the red irises, & the slight eyebrow change.

I personally would've referenced SSJ2 a bit less & referenced a bit more how kid Gohan looked mid Oozaru transformation.

[PICCOLO'S SIMILAR POWER]

The Potential Unleashed forms appear to release power that's hidden within a person to push them beyond their limits. As well as awakening their inner-beast.

UNLEASHED POTENTIAL: Ultimate Gohan & Ultimate Piccolo.

INNER-BEAST/DEMON: Gohan Beast & Orange Piccolo.
