This is probably absolutely not intended. but I do find it amusing how Krillin had to rescue his wife, who has very feline features, from a dog-man that she then had a very cat-like hatred for. lol

Oddly Specific Headcanons | Accepting

How does your muse feel about seafood?

he loves fish– smoked fish is one of his favorite foods, if not his favorite. so the fattier the fish, the more he loves it. i’m not so sure about other seafood like shellfish tbh, but i do imagine that the city he lives in is not necessarily known for its creative or flavorful seafood, not being situated by the coast. i like the idea that their particular cuisine is influenced more by wild ingredients that come from nearby mountains, so it tends to be kind of hearty (and lately spicy foods have been en vogue, which majora has sorta. taken to, despite usually appearing more traditional in his lifestyle and preferences lmao)

but uh. that’s getting off-track what was the question again

seafood uhhh i don’t think he minds things like. say. jellyfish or octopus tbh, but i also don’t think he’d go out of his way to eat them. just if they’re available and offered to him, well, he’s had them before and they were fine– he’ll eat them again without complaint

huffs the rest are going under a readmore bc there’s a bunch

What is their favorite piece of technology?

probably the radio– he uses the one in his room a lot when he’s home, both to listen to music and to news. but if you want to get really basic, hey, running water and indoor plumbing are both pretty awesome

When did they lose their virginity?

relatively late in his life, given he basically rushed right into an occupation with the military right after leaving home, most likely anywhere from the age of 17 to 19 jffieia and i don’t imagine he had much opportunity to do much regarding dating before that tbh

it would have been some time after leaving the military, after he lost his sight, and after he’d grown at least somewhat accustomed to it, bc i’m sure the very last thing on his mind would have been flirting or dating when he was still trying to get used to being without his sight jekfa;lkf

Was there anything their parents pushed them to do? (e.g. sports, theatre, band)

be heterosexual

fjfiea;g OKAY BUT REALLY they didn’t really push him into a lot of different activities so much as they tried to really. Control his behavior and how he presented himself, etc. which played the biggest part in him. cutting ties with them the first chance he got :s

Describe your muse’s worst nightmare.

he probably hadn’t really thought of it before, but yeah– losing another sense would be. Not A Good Time. it is unlikely to happen, as he said, but it’s not impossible. the worst would be to lose his sense of smell or hearing, of course, but touch?? idk how you’d lose that, but it would Suck

he also has some anxieties regarding everyday nuisances related to being unable to see, including seeing his path– things like being followed home by a stranger or accidentally stumbling into a ditch or a hole of some kind (bc uh. we don’t actually Know whether he knows how to fly or not. i know it’s kind of a ubiquitous skill in db but still) 

What is a deal-breaker when it comes to dating someone?

if they constantly treat him like he’s made of glass tbh 

there are some things he can’t do, but they’re far outweighed by the things he can, and he’ll become exasperated very quickly if a loved one keeps Taking Problems and Responsibilities out of his hands bc they don’t think he can handle them, or even just bc they worry it’s too much for him– even if it’s out of love, it feels patronizing to him, and he won’t abide by it

if, even after he’s spoken with them about it, they continue to do it, then it’s time to give up the ghost

What was the most embarrassing moment in your muse’s life?

i mean…………………. getting nailed with a stinky shoe probably isn’t his fondest memory. neither is cr YING IN FRONT OF THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION FJFDIAPTU majora ur a mess

What keeps your muse up at night?

his warped circadian rhythm

What chronic illnesses does your muse have, if any?

ahaaa coughs time for a Big Headcanon– he has some autoimmune disorder that resembles a severe type of anemia, but i haven’t decided yet which one i’m basing it mostly on yet. in either case, it’s not tied fundamentally to our real-life illnesses and i may take some liberties since he does hail from an entirely different universe and all

he’s had this since he was a child, tho it’s debatable if he was born with it or not, and it’s currently just this side of untreated thanks to a combination of reasons, much to shosa’s chagrin (as he’s the only one who Knows)

symptoms aren’t always present, but instead flare up intermittently like mono and involve extreme fatigue, body aches and pain, particularly in the chest and joints, profound loss of appetite (with accompanying weight loss), shortness of breath, and tachycardia wtf tumblr u recognize tachycardia but not anhedonia wtffff they probably wouldn’t recur so often if he was more on the ball about getting treatment, but he’s Stubborn

Does your muse get carsick?

i hadn’t thought about this before but i’m going to say that Yes He Does, but only if he sits in the back seat. if he’s in the passenger seat, he’s usually fine :y

[dragon-ball-meta]

so yeah, I just checked out the raw version of the latest DBS chapter... dear God, it's horrible. I mean, it's not even just how badly 18, the Kamikaze Fireballs, Piccolo and the invisible fighters were screwed over, because everyone from universes 10 and 4 not named Obuni, Ganos, Shosa, Derkori and Shantza have all been eliminated, several of them apparently off panel according to a round up, and Hermila, Narirama and Biarra too. Why include all those characters if none of them do anything?!

Because they’re not important to Toyotaro.Hell he tossed Krillin and Tien out outright and just took the time to turn around and take a whizz on Krillin again.

No change here.  U3 sent three of their guys to take out Goku while he was winded, but Caulifla drove them off so she could fight him instead.   I thought she eliminated at least one of them, but the show’s been pretty good about confirming eliminations, and that didn’t happen, so I’m assuming they’re still in play.

I don’t give this team any credit at all.  They’re currently in second place, but they needed three of their six active members to take out a weakened Goku and they still couldn’t get the job done.  If they had a ringer on the team, I think we would have found out about it by now, so I’m left to assume that this is as good as they get.   They can’t even touch U7′s weakest players, so how can they possibly win? 

Still, they do have a decent numerical advantage, so if they sat tight and waited for their competition to take each other out, they’d do well.  But I suspect the only reason they have so many members left is because none of the other teams see U3 as worth fighting.

After Monna lost to Cabba, U4 is now tied for last place.   They have three guys left, and none of them are Jiren, so I’m pretty sure they’re fucked.  We’ve reached a point in the arc where characters are openly acknowledging that some teams need to rely on a numerical advantage to win, since they lack the power to toss heavy-hitters like Jiren and Golden Frieza. U4 has neither numbers nor power, so their back is officially up against the wall. If you asked me, I’d say their only hope is to take cover and hide, in the hopes that the other teams will whittle each other down to fewer than three apiece.   They’d be better off if they could do some of that work themselves, but with only three left, they really have no margin for error.  Another elimination will make it almost impossible for them to win.

Hit and Cabba have been eliminated, exposing their team’s weaknesses for all to see.  Cabba seemed to believe that Caulifla and Kale were their “secret weapon” for ensuring their universe’s survival.   Presumably, he means that they could get stronger before the tournament ends and maybe snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.   I don’t expect their Namekians to help much with that.  Saonel and Pirina have finally gotten some screen time, but they’re using it to fight Gohan and Piccolo, and they’re not doing so well, considering that Piccolo’s probably still worn out from regenerating all those extra arms.

Universe 7 is WINNING.   Jiren beat the crap out of Goku, and he’s pretty useless right now, but the point is that he’s still in this thing, and Jiren’s apparently content to meditate while he waits out the clock.   So it’s U7′s tournament to lose right now.   And unlike Jiren’s team, they’re not resting on their laurels.   If they can avoid any more eliminations and take out some of the small fry, they might just have enough guys left to weather the storm if Jiren wakes up in the closing seconds of the game.

Jiren’s big play was to beat up Goku, then eliminate Hit.  Once he did, he plopped his big grey butt in the air and started meditating.   In his opinion, there’s no one left who can challenge him, so Toppo and Dyspo ought to be able to mop up the rest of the fighters on their own.  I’d say this was a huge mistake.  At the very least, Jiren should have ensured Goku’s elimination before calling it a night.  Instead, he’s basically letting Goku rest up so he can take another crack at him.  This may be because Jiren wants to fight Goku some more before the tournament closes, but personal agendas aren’t going to win the day here.  As it is, Toppo and Dyspo are major league guys, since both of them managed to fight Goku and hold their own.  So they have the raw power to clean house, but they don’t have the numbers.  Toppo appears to be going for a top-down approach, challenging Vegeta first.  That’s a bit of a gamble.  If he eliminates Vegeta, then the path forward looks a lot brighter, but if he loses and gets tossed out, that leaves Dyspo to handle things on his own.  Maybe Dypso could beat Vegeta or Golden Frieza, but I doubt he could handle them both.  Which is why I say Jiren’s decision to sit out the second half was premature.  He may not have considered Vegeta and Frieza to be worth his time, but they’re still powerful enough that he should have eliminated them if he wanted to guarantee his team’s victory.

Jimizu is O-W-T.  Or Jimmies.  Or Jimeze.  I never got a straight answer on how to spell it.  The point is that Universe 2 has lost their teleportation specialist, which is petty bad news for them, especially now that they’re down to half their original lineup. 

The funny thing is, from what we’ve seen of this team, they had a really strong roster.  Each fighter has lot of unique, effective powers, which they could use to produce a diverse range of offense.  Their only weakness seems to be that they lack the raw strength to last against Universe 7, but otherwise they’re a solid team, at least on paper.  They’re not like Universes 3, 9, and 10, where I honestly wonder why they bothered to show up...

No change.  U4′s only real angle now is that their two "””hidden””” members can somehow turn the tide.  I’m skeptical since a bunch of fighters and spectators have already noticed the other two fighters, so I don’t think camouflage is going to make much of a difference. This might be a variation of Jerry Lawler’s classic battle royal strategy, where you hide under the ring and wait until the end, then try to sneak up on the last opponent and toss him before he realizes he hasn’t won yet.  This was attempted by Santino Marella in the 2011 Royal Rumble, although it didn’t work. In this case, U4′s plan may be to get down to three fighters, and hope the remaining fighters whittle each other down to one or two apiece.   Then, when the tournament ends, U4 will emerge the winner.   It’s the sort of crappy trick I’ve come to expect from that Crappy Green Mouse Guy, but so far his crappy tricks haven’t been paying off.

Frost is O-W-T, which puts Universe 6 at a numerical disadvantage for the first time since the tournament started.  Up to now they’ve either been in the lead, or tied with Universe 7.  There might have been a couple of times U7 pulled ahead, but not for very long. 

I’m not entirely sold on the story in this episode.  Frieza double-crossing Frost was needlessly byzantine.  If he wanted to eliminate the guy, why not just goozle him, walk to the edge of the stage, and drop him off the side?  Frieza’s much much much stronger than Frost, after all. Maybe he was just worried that Frost could somehow slip away like he did with Vegeta in the last episode, but whatever. 

Still, the entire episode just reinforces that Universe 6 is a pretty weak team.  Rota, Magetta, and Botamo all got eliminated very stupidly, and Frost outsmarted himself.  Meanwhile Cabba is fighting Toppo, who’s in Goku’s league.  Caulifla and Kale are still recovering from several episodes back, and the two Namekians haven’t done a single thing since the opening bell.  Hit’s pretty much their only hope of winning this thing, unless the Saiyans plan some sort of three-way fusion dance later on.

But there’s still 29 minutes to go, and 24 opponents left to deal with.  A lot can still happen in the next half hour.

Apparently Jiren’s going to bust loose in the next episode, which seems a bit premature, but this might be another one of his false starts, like when he shut down Kale, or when he eliminated Maji Kayo last episode.  Maybe Ribriane hits him with one of those heart-shaped ki blasts and it pisses him off. 

But this might be the beginning of the end.  Let’s face it, how much more is there left to do before the endgame?  There’s about sixteen characters left that haven’t really gotten to do anything yet.  Some of them might factor into the final leg of the tournament, but I figure most of them are fodder for Jiren.  So even if this isn’t Jiren making his big comeback play, it’ll be happening very soon.

Gohan handed U6 their first loss by tossing out Botamo.  This probably shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, since Botamo was the first guy eliminated in the U6 vs. U7 tournament.   The only reason he lasted this long was because he had his teammates backing him up.  For some reason he tried to pick a fight by himself this time, and he paid the price.  More importantly, with Botamo gone, Auta Magetta’s a sitting duck for any fighter who tries to trash talk him.  Universe 6 has done well, but they lack the raw power of U7.  Maybe their Namekians are stronger than Piccolo, but their Saiyans can’t use god ki, and Frost doesn’t have a Golden form.  Maybe Dr. Rota has a trick or two up his sleeve, but the only real big gun they seem to have is Hit, and Hit can’t win this thing on his own.

Did Universe 10 even have a plan?  I’d like to write up some quick post-mortem for their team, but honestly they just sort of ran around and got picked apart.  Maybe they were just too weak.  It seems like every time one of them engaged an opponent in battle they got overwhelmed.  But they never took any defensive measures.   Their last two members went and challenged Piccolo and Gohan, when they should have retreated to wait for a better opening.

[duhragonball]

Tournament of Power Update

I’ve seen so many guys get eliminated that I wanted to get a handle on who’s left n this thing.  Fortunately the Dragon Ball Wiki is covering the tournament with a chart resembling the results of Royal Rumble matches on Wikipedia.  But I’m not concerned with order of elimination so much as where the teams currently stand, so I’ll be re-ordering the information.  Full teams will be listed by each universe, and eliminated members will be strikethroughed.   Struckthrough.  Strikethrown?   I don’t know.  Let’s go to the big board.

As of DBS Episode 101, this appears to be the only team still in tact, unless they suffered an elimination off-screen.  U2 hasn’t done much since the tournament began, although they’re apparently making their move in Episode 102, so they may start to sustain losses very soon. 

I would assume this means that they’ve been using the strategy Gohan proposed for his own team: staying out of the way and letting their opponents wear each other down.  It’s also possible that they have some sort of stealth ability to avoid unwanted confrontations.  For now, they appear to be a heavy favorite to win.

From a pure storytelling perspective, I don’t like U3′s chances, since their guys only get names when they’re about to be eliminated.  The team still has seven guys left, which is a pretty strong showing, but the writers seem to be using these guys as cannon fodder so far. 

More importantly, the team seems to be premised on this idea of cybernetic warriors who use technology to avoid elimination.  Narirama’s features were demmonstrated in a past episode, and these adaptations proved to be utterly usesless against Hit.  So if the whole team is built the same way, they’re probably toast.

My impression so far is that U4 relies on dirty tricks instead of raw power or technique.  So far it hasn’t gotten them very far, although they seem to have a broader set of talents than Universe 3, so they might last longer.  Also, I get the sense that Toei loves having their God of Destruction heckle Beerus and do that “kye kye kye” laugh every episode.  He’ll probably be the last one to die.

The episodes leading up to the tournament suggested that any Universe team that showed up with fewer than ten members would be disqualified and erased on the spot.  However Universe 6 seems to only have eight guys.  This may mean that an incomplete roster was totally legal all along, or U6 has two more members that we just haven’t seen yet.  So they may be in the same great shape as Universe 2, but I can’t tell. 

In any event, they haven’t suffered any eliminations, and the seven members we’ve seen in action so far have done very well for themselves, so it may not matter if they have a complete team.    On the other hand, I don’t give these guys much of a chance, simply because they already faced Universe 7 and lost.  Their Saiyans are weaker than U7′s Saiyans, Frost is weaker than Frieza, and Botamo and Magetta don’t seem to have improved much since the last time.

Krillin

Honestly, I didn’t expect them to do this well, but they seem to have settled into the situation very nicely.  Because 17 and 18 can’t be detected by ki senses, they can get the drop on their opponents.  Everyone’s gunning for Goku, which makes him handy as bait.  Frieza’s been quietly picking people off at his leisure, and he hasn’t been getting in the way of his teammates, which is about as good as anyone could have hoped for.  And the rest of the team has managed to quietly stay under the radar, picking their spots and watching each other’s backs.

Krillin’s elimination is unfortunate, but it could have gone much worse, and at least he took a few opponents with him on his way out.

I’m pretty sure these guys are next in line to get erased.  Like U3, this team was recruited on a single premise (brawn), and it hasn’t been paying off.  We’re only introduced to these guys as they get tossed out, and if they can’t last, I doubt their teammates will do any better.  Also, like Universe 11, they’re only down to four members, which is a pretty deep hole to climb out of.

Jiren is in the opening credits off the show, and he’s been established as the man to beat at this tournament, so I suspect U11 is safe no matter how many members they lose.  They also appear to be saving him for their endgame.  Even when he and Toppo took down Goku and Kale, they withdrew to let their teammates finish the job, when they could have pressed the advantage. 

But that kind of conservative strategy can backfire, as seen with the loss of five members they suffered in Episode 101.  I would have though the Pride Troopers were more coordinated than this.  They’re not just ten warriors from the same cosmic zip code; they were already a team before this tournament was announced.  But for all their team attacks and strategies, they still made some huge blunders. 

Most likely, they’re putting all their hopes on Jiren, and no matter what happens next they figure he’ll sweep the rest of their opponents by himself, but that’s still no justification for losing four members in one skirmish.

Tournament of Power Update: DBS #102

I don’t know if I want to do one of these every week, but the Dragon Ball Wiki updated the team rosters, so I wanted to take this chance to get all the participants’ names down.  And a few people got eliminated, so let’s take a look.

UNIVERSE 2 (The Magical Girl Universe)

Members remaining: 8

Brianne de Chateau

Rabranra

Jimizu

Su Roas

Zirloin

Harmira

Pran

Zarbuto

Sanka Ku 

Vikal

Universe 2 was tied for first place going into this episode, and then they went and blew their lead fighting No. 17.   I’m not positive, but I think Vikal was the last warrior in the Tournament who could fly, which gave U2 a powerful advantage, but they flaunted it, and basically put a big target on her back that 17 couldn’t ignore.  Eight is still plenty of guys to stage a comeback, but they’ll have to eliminate at least three U6′ers and two fighters from Universe 7, and so far I don’t see any sign that they can.  

UNIVERSE 3 (The Cyborg Universe)

Nothing new to report on either of these teams.  There’s still one guy on U4 that hasn’t been named yet, but whatever.

UNIVERSE 6 (The Saiyans-didn’t-all-die Universe)

Hit

 The U6 team didn’t actually do anything this time around, but this episode established that they do in fact have a ninth and tenth member, and they’re both Namekians.  This means U6 is indisputably in the lead now. 

And I don’t see that changing anytime soon.  I didn’t give these guys great odds, maininly because they performed so poorly at the U6 vs U7 contest. That team was basically Hit with four guys completely out of their league.  But those were one-on-one matches.  This battle royal format seems to be demonstrating their potential for teamwork.  Caulifla and Kale have been watching each other’s backs.  Botamo and Auta Magetta have been watching each other’s backs.  The only time we’ve seen Cabba in action, he had plenty of backup.   And while Hit is a big gun for their team, he’s mostly been using his time stop power to save his teammates.  They’ve scored a lot of eliminations, but now they can wait out the clock, and it looks to me that they’re well-prepared to do so. 

UNIVERSE 7 (The Dragon Ball Z Universe)

Members Remaining: 9

Son Goku

Vegeta

Son Gohan

Piccolo

Frieza

Tien Shinhan

Master Roshi

No. 17

No. 18

Krillin

Not much to say here, although Gohan has chosen to break up his four-man squad to take a more offensive approach.  I’m not sure that’s a wise move, especially since things have been going well for them up to now, but they won’t win unless they can knock off two people from Universe 6, so maybe he’s looking to make that happen. 

UNIVERSE 9 (The Dead Universe)

Members Remianing: 0

Yep, they’re still dead.

UNIVERSE 10 (The Universe Zamasu came from)

Pretty sure U10 is on their way out, especially since the preview for Episode 103 refers to Gohan fighting the rest of their team.   In theory, they could still win this thing, but only if thirty-three of their forty-five remaining opponents get eliminated before they do.  But let’s face it, the story here isn’t whether U10 can avoid getting erased.  It’s about whether or not Gohan will feel guilty about it when it finally happens.

UNIVERSE 11 (The Pride Trooper Universe)

Members Remaining: 4

Toppo

Jiren

Dyspo

Kunshee

Kahseral

Cocotte

Vuon

Nothing new here, except that the last Pride Trooper finally has a name.   To win, U11 must see no fewer than 26 eliminations without losing any more of their team.  I’m expecting Jiren to clear a lot of dead wood in the final act of this tournament, but you never know.
