#Which on the one hand IS very good for Vegeta because he would probably get very depressed without a Goal (and likely did in the 7 year gap | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Forgive me if this should have been a dm, but may I request that essay about Gohan and Vegeta’s relationship?

Ohohoho well SINCE YOU'RE ASKING.

Consider Vegeta. He has always prided himself on being, even as a child, stronger than all adult Saiyans, and that without training under anyone. He was a prodigy! He was unrivalled! And then he meets Gohan who 1) is probably even younger than Vegeta was when he was declared the best 2) never had any training whatsoever either AND wasn't even born and raised in a warrior culture. When do they first meet? Oh, that would be when Gohan absolutely trounces Vegeta's ass at the tender age of four years old (or five years old according to some Western translations, or three years old according to Toriyama's original concept), eliciting in Vegeta the same response Gohan gets from just about anyone: disbelief. For all that Vegeta has become the archetype of the shonen rival who always comes second, we tend to forget that he did beat Goku the first time they met -- and he beat him by a lot. He was torturing him to death when Gohan and Krillin and Yajirobé intervened, and without them Goku would be fucking dead (again).

Vegeta has thus been rattled not just by Goku but also by Gohan, who displayed enormous amounts of raw power at a ridiculously young age. And for all of Vegeta's posturing and pride, he noticed. After he allies himself with Krillin and Gohan on Namek, he shouts at Frieza that they're worthy allies because they're constantly becoming stronger, "especially the young one [who has] powers he can't even dream of". Gohan looks noticeably struck by this comment -- in the middle of the chaos of Namek where everyone is five times his height and a million times his power, Vegeta's acknowledgment would in a weird way probably mean a lot to him, especially since The Prince Of All Saiyans wouldn't say that kind of thing lightly. Gohan remains terrified of Vegeta's immense power and ruthless violence; but he takes Vegeta's profession of alliance seriously and doesn't hesitate to dive into danger to drag Vegeta out of the way, a move which completely baffles and infuriates Vegeta -- it was probably the first time anyone ever saved his life in combat. Of course he shouts at Gohan for what he can only perceive as a humiliation. And yet later, against Frieza, Vegeta does exactly the same thing for him, for no clear reason other that he considers Gohan an ally worth preserving.

So from the beginning, despite Vegeta's pride on one hand and Gohan's fear on the other, there's a warriorlike respect between them, and they're changing each other. Vegeta loathes Goku and dreads Frieza, and despises just about anyone else he fights... but not Gohan. That doesn't mean he's nice to him; when Gohan adorably tries to thank him for his help post-Namek arc, Vegeta batting his hand away is basically the continuation of his confused anger at Gohan trying to save his life. He cannot see that extended hand as anything other than an insult to his strength. But with that move, Gohan is literally the only fighter who tries to... befriend Vegeta. All the other Z-fighters keep well away and Goku sort of lost interest the moment he heard of someone stronger. But Gohan takes the time to thank him and acknowledge that Vegeta went out of his (admittedly very narrow) way to help them. I like to think that his wounded surprise when Vegeta rejects him would quietly shock Vegeta in turn -- shit, that kid really was trying to make friends. So his mental Gohan file would boil down to 1) Incredibly strong and worthy ally 2) Too sweet for his own good.

During the Cell arc, Vegeta's posturing endangers everyone. Once again, Gohan's amazing untapped strength comes out in full force, and once again he risks his life to save Vegeta's. But instead of blowing up at him this time, Vegeta apologizes (which shocks everyone who hears it). Is it the only time we see Vegeta apologize onscreen? I think it is. And he calls himself dead weight! Calls himself a burden on Gohan! Even in the deepest depths of his self-hatred, he would have never said something like that to Goku. No one but Gohan could have ever elicited that from him; no one but Gohan was both strong enough to actually protect Vegeta, and sweet enough that not even Vegeta could resent him for it.

So the little seed of respect planted during the Namek arc has been quietly growing during the Cell arc, and we see hints of it during the Buu arc too -- when Gohan is presumed dead, Vegeta is straight-up distressed, basically saying that Gohan didn't deserve it, getting hit by the guilt of what he's done. Gohan was the only Z-fighter to acknowledge Vegeta's humanity, and in return Gohan is the only Z-fighter whose humanity Vegeta acknowledges.

And then Buu is defeated, Vegeta concludes his character arc, and has his last interaction with Gohan in DBZ: they meet before the final tournament and Vegeta coldly tells Gohan he clearly hasn't been training. And Gohan seems intimidated and embarrassed. It's clear that for all of Vegeta's repeated fuck-ups, Gohan has never stopped respecting him: in his mind, Vegeta is still that pillar of strength that almost annihilated them all that first time on Earth, and saved their asses multiple times on Namek when Goku was nowhere to be found. The fact that Gohan is so vulnerable to Vegeta's judgment harks back to that moment on Namek when Vegeta casually acknowledged how awesome Gohan's power could become. Gohan remembers that -- and now, having abandoned his training, he clearly feels that he's disappointed Vegeta.That he didn't live up to his hopes. And Vegeta, in turn, clearly tells him he expected better -- that he did have hopes of Gohan, and that Gohan is fully capable of (and therefore responsible for) upholding Saiyan pride.

This is when we leave canon and depart for the mad fevered realms of my brain. The Namek Chief and Old Kai both saw deep untapped potential in Gohan but could only attempt to bring it up to the surface through magic. Gohan is basically, repeatedly confirmed as the strongest DBZ character ever... if he could only manage to actually unlock that strength. But it's locked up tight.

I wonder if anyone could HELP WITH THAT.

Being drafted in a terrible war at an absurdly young age? Vegeta knows how that feels. Being hindered in your ability to get stronger because of psychological issues stemming from trauma and self-doubt? Vegeta also knows how that feels. Feeling like you can never unlock your abilities when you need them? Vegeta also knows how that feels! He can even relate to being disgusted with fighting -- he swore to renounce fighting after Goku's second death and essentially kept his word right up until Goku came back. Most importantly, Vegeta would be uniquely suited to recognize how both Piccolo and Goku's training approaches fucked up Gohan. Piccolo didn't reassure him enough, turning the fight into this terrifying non-negotiable obligation. Goku reassured him too much, basically taking the fight aspect entirely out of Gohan's training -- to the point that Gohan experienced the actual fighting as a betrayal when the time came to face Cell, and terrified himself when his Saiyan ferocity came out unbidden and uncontrollable.

As the only person alive to remember Saiyan culture, Vegeta could see that what Gohan's been missing is the sheer joy Saiyans are supposed to experience when fighting. And post-Buu arc, Vegeta has grown enough to acknowledge he can care for other people. He would allow himself to actually use everything he knows to further someone else's development. His skills as a prodigy, his understanding of Saiyan nature, his own exploration of trauma, his respect for Gohan and his faith in that famed potential -- all that could come out to play big time. He could help Gohan; he would help Gohan. And thus finally return the friendship Gohan dared to extend to him all those years ago. And when I think of how Gohan would react to that, I CRY.

mmmmkay so ya'll remember this from DBS? Right?

Yeah, it's a screenshot of our boy Piccolo singing karaoke so badly that literally everyone else except his son eternal wing man right hand man student Gohan is reeling over it. Very funny and very much in character blah blah blah BUT!!! You know what I think?

This is all a ruse. This one moment here? Piccolo is faking the whole thing! He's actually a great singer!

Now we know that this isn't the only time Piccolo has canonically sang in BDS, as he has somewhat admitted to singing to Pan in this episode:

youtube

Now you may be saying; "but Taibu you dumb fox, kids don't care if you sing good or bad" and you're absolutely right.

HOWEVER! I have some sort of proof for my theory. And that proof is, believe it or not, Krillin!

In the 1994 Broly-movie (which I know isn't canon and all but I have a habit of combining non-, semi- and fully canon things together in the franchises I like so sue me I suppose lol) Krillin sings to the other fighters, and while the English version made a joke about how bad he was, in the original Japanese version; people actually marvel at how WELL he is singing, hell even Vegeta is jealous!

Now, Krillin's OG VA is Mayumi Tanaka who is also known for voicing Luffy in One Piece. The connection between the two characters had actually been hinted a few times in DBS with Krillin's phone playing the One Piece opening theme.

Either way, we know for a fact that Krillin, at least in the OG Japanese dub, is a good singer. But what does this have to do with Piccolo?

Well, Piccolo's OG VA is ALSO known for voicing a One Piece Character!

Toshio Furukawa has voiced Piccolo from pretty much day one (with the only exception being when Pics was just a baby, where he was voiced by Hiromi Tsuru, who also voiced Bulma until her passing in 2017). Furukawa also voices the character Ace in One Piece.

Many OP-characters have one or more character-themes performed by their VA's, and Ace is not an exception to this, having two songs dedicated to him, and being performed by Furukawa: Save my Heart and Living Fire. Furukawa gives both characters pretty similar voices, so it is a safe assumption that Piccolo's and Ace's singing voices are also similar. And if you listen to these songs, you can hear that they are really freaking well sung!

But why would Piccolo pretend that he can't sing well? Because THAT is the most in-character thing for him to do, innit?

If people knew how good his voice was, they would ask him to sing more often in Bulma's many parties, right? Hell, they must have pestered for HOURS to get Piccolo there even once! And once he did, he probably foresaw a lot more pestering in his future, so to stop it immediately, he faked one bad performance, just to stop people from ever letting him on the stage again, for the sake of their ears. The only one who thought it was great was Gohan, most likely because of his endless respect for his teacher, or perhaps he has heard Piccolo sing to himself in the wastelands and knows he can actually sing well.

So TL:DR-version: Piccolo actually has a REALLY nice singing-voice, he only faked to be bad to spare himself from ever having to stand up on a stage again. He preserves his singing to Pan and potentially other babies he has to look after in the future, and no-one else. Gohan knows he is good, due to him walking in on Piccolo singing a lullaby to Pan a couple of times, but keeps his friend's secret because it is clearly very important to him.

And that is the long-winded way of me telling that I whole-heartedly head-canon that Piccolo is a good singer. Thank you for coming to my Ted-talk.

Time Skip (Time Patroller!Vegeta/Reader)

AN: I hate this! Very much! It's not my best and I know it, but I reallly wanted to write this silly idea with Vegeta and tbh, I think I made it more complicated than it needed to be. I'm not sure how well I managed to get his personality down and make Reader interesting so please be nice to me-

Pairings: Vegeta/Reader, Goku/Reader and Trunks/Reader suggested

“Hm. And you’re sure of this?”

“Yep. Seems like Fu’s been really active lately.” You take a sip, exhaling warmth, “The later quadrant of the 3rd dynasty has been in a wreck. The Namekians tried their best to remove the problems caused by suddenly having to deal with a wartorn Saiyan instead of the usual overgrown frog monster.”

Vegeta hummed, eyes closed in thought. The cup in his hand steamed softly, light blue glass tapping under a finger. His eyes were closed in silent bliss as he brought the warm drink to his lips, “You’d think he’d get over this ridiculous stretch for power. Surely after all his stunts he’s regained enough of himself to be content after the mockery we made of him.”

You shrugged, “Well maybe he just wants to kick your asses sooner.” His bitter grunt went ignored, “Speaking of,” The red cup was set down onto its plate, “Is Goku going to come back anytime soon? I’ve been wondering about that for the past hour now.” He could feel the weight of those curious eyes falling upon him in a familiar leer. The urge to scoff was pushed down-did you think so low of the idiot already?

Vegeta sighed through his nose, “The idiot is out on another solo mission. Some bullshit involving Earth this time, Fu seems to have thoroughly pissed him off by removing some important events and resetting triggers again.” A light twitch to his brow belayed his suppressed irritation, but the glass in hand barely rippled. It would be unlike him to let a perfectly good drink go to waste.

The brow raise at his statement was palpable, “Really? What kind of events?” The table rocked just so when you stood. Clearly the buffoon screwed something up in the base again–probably from fucking you too hard on it, again. Which he would have to repair. Again.

He was quickly tiring of cleaning the moron's mess.

Instead, he focused on his drink, delightfully warm in his grasp. A special blend, made from a hybrid of earl grey and some similar variant from planet Vegeta he had swiped the seeds of during his last visit. Though unfortunately it was very bitter on it’s own, something even the prince admitted was not very pleasant. But adding a few of the more passive leaves from Earth seemed to be enough to drop the acidity, making a near spicy tingle to an otherwise placid delight.

“The one involving that woman he met as a cub.”

All movement paused on your end of the table, halfway between grabbing your dishes. His senses ticked on the curl to your energy that belated the little sneer you'd make whenever you heard something unsavory. The dishware clinked softly as he set the empty cup down, the little saucer being pushed aside.

“...Chi-Chi?” Your voice was soft, he noted. Quieter than your normal bite, “...What did he do to her?” Though you tried–for which he would commend–there was still a wavering note to your voice. A sign of what to come if he spoke the wrong words; sadly, it was all he had for tonight.

“..She was killed. Found dead by the boy version of himself before he could ever know her.” His arms, sleeveless in his blue one piece undersuit, crossed over his firm chest with a finger tapping at his bicep, “It appears he had found her too late and the reptoid chasing her caught up. No doubt because of that twisted imp Fu’s meddling.”

Finally he let his eyes open. A glance towards the woman worthy of being his mate told him all he needed to know.

You were not his former wife. His wife would have been calculating strategies the moment the words left his lips. Her blue eyes would shine with the deep intelligence he’d fallen for, the respect he bore proudly on his breast shining through his own as she dug deep into her mind at possible retribution for such actions and ways to rectify everything back to normal.

It was hours like these where he was consistently reminded of the differences. His old mate was fire incarnate, bursting into a roaring blaze at the sound of any insolence. She would immediately launch into tirades of the bastard’s tyranny and how she’d give him a piece of her mind-something that commonly led to more romps in the bedroom than he could count.

Yet, while you bore the same intense fire and will Bulma had, your reactions differed vastly.

Tonight you were silent. Your eyes, so unlike his old mate’s, stared at the cold stone with a hard glare as if you intended to break it. If given the power he wouldn't be surprised if you did. Though he could see through the farce you had laid--behind the presented anger on your face the vapidness he’d only seen on planets he conquered centuries ago stalwartly remained. A gaze warriors make when presented with an unwinnable scenario yet refusing to surrender.

He knew you wouldn't admit it, but you were about to cry. He commended you for trying but the salt twisting in your scent gave her away.

A brow of his own raised, “Woman-”

“It’s fine.” You cut him off, grabbing his cup and heading to the kitchen, “I know he gets emotional about it. I’ll keep some leftovers in the fridge for his stupid ass when he gets home.” The bite in your words was twice as venomous than a stake to the heart. Fury barely suppressed stoked the flames of your ki and he curled his lip at it stabbing into his own.

Of course you’d gone from upset to angry, like all the times before whenever one of them acted like an idiot. If you were a Saiyan he’d be more than aroused by your rage–and he had been many times–but the reason behind your ire was a bucket of ice water to any fire in his loins.

The topic of their former wives was delicate. You’d accepted it was their past, part of them to the core-it wasn’t like you were going to reject their offerings after all this time. But he knew the topic itself was still difficult to cover. You’d been told how long they’d been married and mated. The loss had been devastating- one of the many reasons you’d been their choice next was related to the intense pain both elder Saiyans had felt. To know that one of your mates was reliving the grief had to be an immense weight on your shoulders. Coupled with the insecurity you were undoubtedly revisiting, he knew you were in turmoil.

Though he could not help the twist in his gut at having to address the issue once more. A bitter coldness dripped into his ribs, the resentment palpable but contained. You were, at your own core, still human. The frailty you fought hard to hide would still find ways to break through regardless of the power shared between you and them. He turned the irritation inward at his own ridiculous response–he could not expect you to be as complacent as a normal Saiyan.

Though it didn't stop it from being annoying.

Silently he stood up. The chair was scooted back against the table, cup abandoned for now as he entered the kitchen, arms crossed firmly over his chest. Those angry eyes that could rake gooseflesh over his skin were focused intently on the dishes clattering within the sink. The rag squelched soapy suds across the glassware in your irate scrubbing, as if you could scratch out the feelings within. You were completely involved in the task, which left you wide open.

You yelped when your feet were swept out from beneath you, “Vegeta what-!?”

“Quiet, woman.” Firm, muscled arms braced underneath your back and knees as you were hoisted up against his broad chest. The awkward dangle of your long legs and shoulder nearly being shoved into his cheek went ignored as always as he turned away from the sink.

He could feel your confused glare burning into his cheek while he trudged out of the kitchen. Your legs dangled over his arm, back in an awkward angle from his hold. The bemusement seeping from your gaze raised his hackles when he had to scrunch your body together just to squeeze out of the doorframe in the dining room to the living room and it took tremendous effort not to glare in your direction. Instead he dropped onto the couch, cradling his mate in his lap.

Even at this angle you were still so much larger. An eyebrow twitched when his shoulder propped up your bicep, your knees squished up on the other side of his chest in a familiar crushed carry. And yet he could feel you were so very small right now as he held your in his grasp. He could hear how your heart thrummed like a bird in a cage, held back by the irritated glare you leveled at him

“Vegeta what are you doing.” It wasn’t a question. You stated what you wanted, a fact he found incredibly attractive even with your current state. He knew you were upset, both at his actions and the situation you’d found yourself in, but he;d be damned if he didn’t remedy the clear mistake in your logic.

"I know you're overthinking again." You fell silent, no doubt staring at him in mute shock, "You're second guessing Kakarot's bond to you. You're thinking about how he doesn't respond with the same anger whenever you are in danger, and maybe you've even got the insane idea that he would return to the woman of his past." A soft swallow bobbed in your throat. The sound drew him to glance at you, tracing the downward path of your soft skin from the corner of his eyes. Tense as a drum, a frustrated frown on your lips.

"Well I'm going to tell you to get over yourself. The fact you have such little faith in his bond to you is unacceptable, even if he is an idiot. He spent decades on his own grieving the loss of his first mate. It was damn near pathetic how inconsolable the bastard was, always lamenting what he lost and giving me a headache even when he understood I was going through the same." His eyes closed as he glanced away. Remembering the burning pain never ending in his ribs, the encroaching darkness that remained at the edge of his consciousness. It was maddening how close he'd come to reverting to his old ways just to bury his feelings deep until he was nothing but a ball of rage again.

Yet he held firm, glaring holes into the far wall, "And then he found you. And he refused to shut up about it. He prattled on about your face, your voice, not even your name was spared as he made a fool out of himself. He could barely focus during training and got plenty of what he deserved when he allowed his thoughts to drift to you." The prince scoffed, "Even Trunks could see the obsession festering in that idiot long before he could admit it to himself. It was as humiliating to watch as it was to hear."

Finally he set his narrowed gaze to yours, "If you honestly believe he would leave you to return to his old life, after all the blood and pain we've gone through to make you ours, then you're sorely mistaken. And I do not want my mate to be so weak as to have waning faith in her mates."

You were staring at him. The irritation was still present in your eyes but had lost much of it;s intensity. A cute flush began to decorate your cheeks, but it was ruined by the all too familiar struggle of you trying not to laugh. Indignant by your amusement he glared harder, to which you snorted outright.

"You're terrible at making people feel better, aren't you." Your snickering made him huff and look away annoyed, "Don’t be like that, it was cute.” A low growl, “Alright, handsome. You're very handsome when you try." His obstinance weakened when you drew him back with your fingertips on his jaw, kissing his cheek. Had he been a weaker man he would have blushed harder, "Although I didn’t expect you to defend Goku of all people. Are you starting to go soft on him now?"

A snort had him rolling his eyes, "Of course not. I don’t play favorites, especially with Kakarot. It’s just insulting that you think so little of his attachment to you as if he would return to his old life like a cowering dog. And I will not stand to have our Saiyan ways defiled by your ignorance." Now he was letting her go in favor of crossing his arms, refusing to look at her.

It was your turn to roll your eyes, "Fine, I'm sorry alright. You're right, I was overthinking." You waved at his glare while sliding off his lap to the cushion next to him. Your hands busied themselves by straightening the rolled up sleeves of your sweater back down over your wrists while he clicked his tongue at you.

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to him. It was his bond you insulted, not mine." With a nod to the closed door he settled into the couch more comfortably. You glanced at him when his arm found it;s way over your shoulders and hauled you into his side, "But I doubt he will be back anytime soon, so get comfortable."

You sighed, “Fine, I’ll just find something to do until then.” With a brief peck to his jaw you made to get up but instead, found you couldn't. A few tugs on his grip proved it sturdy and your wide eyes found his, "Wait, are you going to hold me until he gets back?" Another, harder pull did not change his hold, the beginnings of a smirk tugging the edge of his lips. You faced him with a glare, "Vegeta, I can’t sit here all night."

He raised an elegant brow, unphased, "And why is that? Tell me, is it because you neglected to finish the cleaning you set out to do this morning and have been reduced to doing it late at night." When you failed to answer, indignant rage immediate on your face, he smirked, "Of course you did, lazy woman. You just sat around like a princess waiting to be serviced didn't you? Expecting me or Kakarot to help you through them, I assume?"

Your pout was at full force, "Kind of, yeah. But let me guess, his royal shortness wasn't going to, was he."

His brow twitched but his smug grin remained, "Not even being my mate will spare you from your own incompetence." A devious chuckle answered your miserable groan.

"I know Goku will." The bite punctuated you turning away with your nose in the air. A desperate attempt to gain ground in the argument.

"You could ask Kakarot to rearrange the planets and he would do it for you." He dismissed the thought with a wave of his free hand, reclining back into the couch. Checkmate.

You leveled an unimpressed raise of your brow at him, "You say that like you wouldn't." Unexpected play, but he could retaliate still.

Just as uninterested his gaze lazily flowed towards your lips and back, "As an action to prove my loyalty to you, I would go to any limit. Even bringing the head of that Fu bastard to your feet if you desired." Ground reclaimed, checkmate.

You cringed, "Gross, no. That's Hell to get out of the carpet." Of course you weren;t the same level of tactician as he, but you were much wiser in knowing when to forfeit before the combat became too much.

He shared a soft chuckle with you in place of verbal sparring, exhilarating as it was. The tension had ebbed out of the air, a peaceful silence falling into the room. He could turn on the TV, since the remote was sitting on the coffee table mere feet away, but he was comfortable as he was. His mate was leaning into his side, pacified once more and his son and Kakarot were nowhere to be seen for the next few hours. He had you all to himself for the foreseeable future, but all he wanted was to remain as he was with you in his grasp.

A soft kiss to his cheek made him grunt, "Thank you, though. For trying to make me feel better." You grinned at him from above, your head nestled down into his shoulder.

He stubbornly ignored the warmth on his cheeks as he let the traces of a smile grace his face. Instead he pressed you even closer in an attempt to drown out the thundering beat of his heart in his ears.

quirky ways the saiyans show their love?

I don't think I'm gonna be very original with this but I'll give it a shot lmao

Goku probably picks random flowers he finds and brings them for you. I know that's very 'human' like, but I don't think he does it because he knows it's romantic, he just does it because flowers are pretty and they remind him of you. Another things he does (which is so canon we all know it) is biting, it doesn't even have to be sexual, he just likes to bite you 😂 anywhere and everywhere!

Vegeta is. well Vegeta. I do think he probably listens to whatever you can complaint about, or if you're upset with someone, and he's gonna be like 'do you want me to kill them'. Or he won't even ask, he just goes out and you just know he's out for blood. Whether or not you stop him is up to you lmao.

On the other hand, I don't think Raditz is as feral as Vegeta, but he kinda is. He probably like, breaks into places to get you that necklace you saw one time, or that dress you mentioned you liked lmao. I also think he would be into beating up anyone who has given you a hard time, maybe not to the point of killing them, but I mean. If you're into that lmao.

I can't think of anything That quirky for Bardock, if anything I think he's the most conservative, he probably just thinks sex is a good way to show affection (which it is). But other than that, I do think he probably just pays attentions if you say you like certain things, and he will bring them to you when he goes on missions, or if he happens to see them somewhere (he totally did not just 'happen' to see them, he had actively been looking for that gem stone you like).

Now for Broly, I have a cute one lmao I do think he likes to smell you at all times, and even smell your clothes. I don't know how quirky that is, but it's adorable, like maybe you've been gone for like, four hours, so he is going to go into your room and smell the sheets and your clothes and stuff lmao

#anonymous #replies #this was so cute actually lmao #headcanons

sometimes i wonder what krillin must have felt when vegeta got to namek (prior to their team-up ofc). like it was goku's request that vegeta not get shish kabob'd, but it was krillin's choice to adhere to that; he frankly would've been completely justified in stabbing away no matter what reason goku had.

but he didn't, and now they have to deal with him again. the guy they definitely aren't able to beat now that they've swapped out goku for bulma (sorry bulma, but. y'know).

sure, vegeta wasn't the strongest person on namek by a longshot at that point, but he was the one krillin had already run into. just one more threat they had to face that completely outclassed them, but unlike everyone else on namek, this one was there specifically bc krillin hadn't killed him when he'd had the chance. and he had no reason to think vegeta would be even a little forgiving over the "sparing your life bc my bestie has a fightcrush on you" thing (or anything else. not a super forgiving guy in general)

and now here he is, with a five-year-old alien hybrid and a non-combatant engineer. he's the only adult fighter in their little trio and i think that would've been when it really hit him that there wasn't anyone he could go to for help. no roshi, no goku... and if they fucked up, no dragon balls.

that's a lot for the poor guy to be dealing with on top of a good chunk of his friends having been murdered right in front of him. iirc, krillin was the first of the main characters to die in dragon ball, and he was still dead when chiaotzu and roshi died, so goku dying at the start of dbz would've been the first time he actually saw one of his close friends die. then said friend's son is kidnapped (by the little brother of krillin's own murderer, no less) and he can't do anything about it bc everybody's gotta go train for the even stronger aliens that were on the way, and then almost everybody dies, they lose the dragon balls, and goku just barely gets there in time to stop nappa from turning gohan into a son pancake.

krillin gets a brief hope spot in which goku hands nappa his ass on a silver platter, but then it turns out nappa's boss (who's just been sitting there laughing his ass off as all of krillin's friends are dying) is an even bigger asshole than nappa, kills him without even trying, and just when he's trying to get goku's kid to safety, they realize "oh shit yeah i don't think goku is actually quite strong enough to win this", so they have to go back. he has to fight the guy whose minion he could barely deal with.

and after everything, he agrees to spare vegeta's life. just because goku asked him to. and it immediately comes back to bite him in the ass. can you imagine if the ginyu force hadn't shown up? i can't imagine vegeta would've teamed up with gohan and krillin (TEAM THREE STAR!) without an immediate threat he knew he wouldn't be able to handle, so it's very possible he would've killed them right away (i doubt he could've taken nail at that point, but he probably could've killed at least one of the earthlings before nail either stopped him or he ran off).

krillin went through so much shit in early dbz, and that was all before he got exploded. i don't think he gets nearly enough credit for keeping it together for as long as he did.

What if you were Trunks and you were like 17 and you were staying up too late to do your homework and you're at a kitchen table because if you go to your room you're afraid that you'll just start playing video games again & Yamucha is visiting right now and hes staying in a guest bedroom somewhere & you dont really care & last time he spent a few days here you caught him in the morning (11 am) once standing around in his underwear going through the cupboards like "You guys got any cornflakes?" & then when he found the cornflakes he had sat down and ate three bowls in a row & so to not be impolite you had sat down too and let him tell you stories & the spoon just looked so tiny in his giant hairy man hands & he was defintiely bigger than your dad though not as muscular & it just sort of felt like he was towering over the bowl though by temperament he is a swell guy & afterwards you had looked at your own hands and wondered if they'll ever get that big and masculine and hairy. And you're prepared for this to happen again but since youre staying up late you'll probably sleep late so maybe you'll avoid him in the morning.

And it's pretty late and you're mother is off to bed soon but she sits with you for a moment to make sure that you're doing homework and then sighs and mutters "I guess this'll be a late night for Vegeta." Becasue it was common for Vegeta to disappear for odd hours without telling anyone where he was going. And to your mother who cant sense ki, he could be a planet away, even if hes just in a far room of capsule corp.

And it really is common for Vegeta to go somewhere random and stare at the ocean or whagever, but it was also common for him to just be offscreen but Around, so to help your mother out, you take a jab at sensing his ki. And this time, he really is just in the building.

"You might see him yet tonight," you say. "He's just in the next wing over."

Your mother takes start, and she asks, "what, dont tell me hes socializing with Yamucha."

You check again, and oh yeah, that must be the guest bedroom where Yamucha is staying, and yep, they're both over there.

"Oh," you say, realizing how odd that is. "I'm surprised myself."

"Well this I have to see."

Your mother leaves and you return to your homework, disinterested and unbothered.

A while later, you think you hear someone yelling, but it's too far away for you to be sure.

A bit after that, rapid footsteps approach, and you turn to see none other than Yamucha speeding past the doorway. Then he stops and backtracks and reappears and waves at you.

"Hey buddy!" He says, and hes shirtless, and is wearing yellow pants, and his hair is tied back messily, and he looks very much like hes been slapped the shit out of, and he is carrying the top half of his yellow suit in one elbow, and his traveling briefcase in the other hand. "Nice seeing you today, but I gotta jet. Stay in school! And, maybe try to put a good word in for me with your mom. You know, stress that I've been a good friend for years, and that I really am sorry, and maybe dont tell her where I am if she tries to hunt me down? Okay, bye!" and then hes gone.

You go to bed that night like normal, and the next day your father is absent from the breakfast table, and you ask your mother why that is, and she says that she sent him to eat alone outside, and you ask her what he did, and she says "Why dont YOU ask HIM what he DID," which usually means that Bulma and Vegeta have differing opinions on what "he did," and she thinks that his version is stupid.

To spare yourself the long ire-filled rant that your mother's answer would be, you go outside and ask your father what he did.

"I had gay sex with Yamucha," he says.

Dragon Ball Super 023

tfw you’re in Dragon Ball Super Episode 23.

So for the last few episodes, Goku and Vegeta have been training on Beerus’ planet, and then Beerus ordered Whis to send them to some other dimension where they could supposedly improve faster. But for Whis to do that, he had to send his staff to the other dimension as well. This backfires on Beerus when he starts eating all the pizza Whis brought back from Earth, and Whis can’t bring him more because he needs his staff to do it. So Whis has to bring back Goku and Vegeta to get his staff. This whole thing is just a pointless waste of time.

I think the idea was that the writers on DBS wanted to show Goku and Vegeta training to achieve their Super Saiyan Blue forms, which they revealed in the Resurrection F movie. In the movie, it was established that they reached that level off-screen, but this anime expands on the story. So you would think this would give Toei a chance to tell some story about how they reached Super Saiyan Blue. Except.... there is no story. None at all.

Part of the problem is that they probably didn’t want to show them transforming until the fight with Frieza, which is sensible enough. That’s how the movie played it, after all. But then we still have these scenes of Goku and Vegeta training with no apparent point. Beerus just tells them their time in the other dimension did them a lot of good, even if they weren’t in there for very long.

I guess it was like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, at least in the sense that they were stuck there longer than the amount of time that passed in the outside world. Anyway, they had to eat all of Beerus’ extra pizza in order to avoid starvation, so yeah.

So now that they’re back and Whis has his staff, they can finally find out about Frieza’s invasion, and Goku can try to teleport back to Earth. Only it’s too far away, so Gohan powers up as high as he can go, and this gives Goku something to lock on to. Wait, was Frieza’s power level not enough? Everyone’s been talking about how amazingly strong he is, to say nothing of Tagoma’s body, now inhabited by Captain Ginyu. You’d think there’d be plenty of strong ki powers for Goku to sense.

Anyway, Frieza tries to finish Gohan off, but then Goku appears in the nick of time and blocks the shot with his crappily-drawn arm. This episode sucks ass.

I tend to focus on the misshapen faces in this series, but there’s a lot of poorly-drawn fingers and hands. Parts of this show look like fan art drawn by a talented-but-inexperienced teenager. Like these should be the before shots next to a much better drawing in a social media post where the artist shows off their skill development over several years.

Anyway, Vegeta quickly polishes off Captain Ginyu, thus bringing an end to the decades-long running gag of that frog showing up in different scenes. I’m not sure what happened to Tagoma-in-the-frog’s-body, but it doesn’t really matter, since no one cared enough about Tagoma to care if he keeps the gag alive.

Also, I’d just like to say that this series keeps using shots like this of characters in the mid-ground, even though the artists seem to really, really suck at drawing figures on this scale. Like, what is the point of storyboarding for this sort of thing when you know your staff can’t execute it without making it look pathetic? This isn’t a new problem, either. This is Episode 23. By now, everyone at Toei should be fully aware of the limitations of this production.

Anyway, Frieza pisses and moans about his revenge and goes to his fourth form to avoid the mistakes he made during his first encounter with Goku.... Except this is exactly what he got wrong on Namek. He took forever to use his full power against Goku and the others, and kept giving them chances to put up a fight. Now, he’s doing it again, because his fourth form is no longer his strongest form. He’s holding Golden Frieza in reserve, and for no good reason.

And you know, if that’s how Frieza wants to play it, fine. But don’t tell me he’s correcting his past mistakes this way, because he’s not.

If this seems kind of brief, it’s because I skipped over countless reaction shots from other characters, and this annoying thing where the “camera” would rush from one set of characters to another. Also, Jaco did a lot of whining about wanting to run away, and none of it matters. This episode bites.

just putting down some thoughts for my db s/i, mozzarella (i don't really feel comfortable posting any artwork yet, so i figured i would try to put it in words first !!)

head's up, this is a really long post!

tw // brief mention of sex

backstory ig idk lol:

i don't really have much in the lines of backstory (this is mostly because i haven't finished DB Super yet and i'm not that knowledgeable of how DB's world works lol). but i do like the idea of mozzarella just being a homebody that has a garden and makes a living by selling their fruits n veggies. they met goku at a farmer's market and really hit it off from there !! it was love at first sight with goku ^-^ they are also a shapeshifter and just kind of. exist ! (i looked up shapeshifting on the db wiki and apparently there was a shapeshifting school ? i might incorporate that when i do my full db watch !) one idea that i have is that mozzarella had a previous form but eventually chose to stay permanently in their rat form. it's the form that makes them most comfortable. it took them a while to get used to their current form, but after a while, it became their default form. they aren't opposed to taking other forms for fun ! there is no limits to their shapeshifting ability, but bigger and more complex forms can be very exhausting. still, their shapeshifting isn't 100 perfect either; sometimes, if they aren't focused (which is often), the form they take will sometimes have large rat ears, a long rat tail, or huge whiskers ! typically, mozz will only shapeshift certain parts of their body for convenience's sake. for example, they'll transform their arms into huge bat wings in order to fly around quickly. this doesn't take up more energy to do.

design:

i don't think there's any design variations from my actual sona. mozz will still be relatively average height (shorter than goku but taller than vegeta). they might be a little bit furrier and have a longer tail, but that's about it. oh, and they'll probably fit more into the style of DB/DBZ.

personality:

personality wise will be very consistent with my sona (and myself too). ditzy and easily confused but kind-hearted. does their best to be a good person but worries excessively about how people perceive them. a little weirdo for sure lmfao. the only interesting thing i might have to think about is the idea that saiyans are wired to be attracted to "strong" partners (vegeta said 'women' specifically but i'm just gonna say that gender doesn't matter here shhhhh). i don't know if mozzarella is particularly "strong" or "hot-headed" in the same why bulma and chichi and videl is (or, in videl's case, used to be). i'm leaning towards "no, they aren't;" they're probably pretty passive and typically go with the flow. still, they can be incredibly snarky at times and can come off as a bit of a know-it-all (intentionally or not). i think there is an inner strength there but it doesn't manifest in the same way that it does for the main DB girlies. still, mozzarella will throw hands if needed and does not take shit from anyone LMFAO. bascially "i'm not a fighter but don't test me." even if goku is the strongest in the universe, mozz will be more than ready to beat a mf up to defend him (they fucking HATEEE it when people disrespect goku, it's like their no. 1 pet peeve. they'd probably start crying but will still beat a mf up if needed.)

changes to the canon:

this is gonna be difficult to touch on because i haven't really figured it out in my head yet. the main difficulty is gonna stem from chichi. i love chichi to pieces (all chichi haters will die by my blade), so i don't want her to like. not exist LOL. i also don't want them to have gotten a divorce around the time that goku and mozzarella meet. my solution is that chichi and goku just never got together. basically, the "promise" that goku made to chichi was that they would meet again in the future (not that he would marry her) and that promise was fulfilled when they fought at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. they're just good friends and sparring partners. ofc, there's the question of gohan and goten existing, and i want them to exist !! an idea that i have is that goku and chichi slept together a few times in the past and thus, gohan and goten. i haven't decided why yet (failed relationship that ended amicably ? maybe chichi or goku or both wanted kids and they trusted each other enough to want to have children with each other ? they were just fooling around ?), but regardless, gohan and goten DO exist, and all of the events in DB and DBZ/Kai did happen as they normally would, just less gochi (i still <3 gochi tho). oh, and i imagine goku just has his own separate place and doesn't live with chichi. goten lives with her (gohan is grown and already left), and goku lives nearby so he can help out whenever he can. (mozz thinks he's a really good dad ^o^)

mozzarella's inclusion in the canon:

so my idea is that mozzarella and goku met sometimes during Super. the idea is that goku is a farmer (i think this concept was introduced in super) and uses the money for himself and for chichi and goten (both he and chichi work). considering both he and mozz sell their crops at the farmer's market, my idea is that they met here. basically, mozz was not involved in any of the crazy shit goku got up to prior to Super. after meeting, mozz was quickly introduced to goku's main circle of friends and was quickly swept up into all of the craziness goku got himself into. this includes meeting beerus and whis, golden freiza, universe 6, etc. also, bulma quickly ran mozz up to speed on everything that has ever happened to them pre-Super, so while they were pretty skeptical at first, they quickly believed her (mostly due to bulma's birthday party fiasco).

i'll stop this post here since it's getting pretty long, but the reblog is gonna focus on mozz's relationships with everyone else, including goku !!

#rat thinks #self insert #this was much longer than i intended #but i had so much fun writing this all out #i haven't made an “oc” in eons #so it felt really good to sort of make one #playing with my dollies

So, on this page I would like to try my hand at a few smaller fanfictions. i also have a page on watpatt, but since i write my fanfiction there in german . I would like to use this forum for a few small ones in English.

since my english is good enough for normal everyday use, but not for writing stories, i use a translation program and hope it is understandable.

.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-

Short description, Son goku has recently had to deal with his niece, who carries many a secret with her.

Warning : Emotional, Family, Heavy Youth, Drugs.

(I'm not a drug advocate, however marijuana helped my brother a lot until he finally had his important pain relieving surgery. So it was prescribed by the doctor)

Still waters run deep.

Yawning once, Son goku scratched the back of his head and opened the fridge to treat himself to a small midnight snack. He knew very well that there was still something left over from dinner. With relish he put the big piece of pizza in his mouth. Chichi had cooked a lot and there wouldn't have been any leftovers if Tony hadn't eaten so little. Far too little for a Saiyan for his taste. But he had to admit that it was probably because she neither trained nor fought. Songoku shook his head once. He couldn't quite make sense of the girl.

How amazed he was 3 weeks ago when his family received a call that a 16 year old girl was being admitted to a hospital on the other side of the world. Definitely with his DNA by blood bank. When he and Vegeta, followed by Piccolo, checked things out, everything had been quite clear. Her age matched the appearance of Raditz and she was definitely only half Saiyan. The youth welfare office was there. She'd been in a little accident on a school field trip, not too bad, a few scrapes, a few bruises. Of course the responsible teacher had dragged her to the hospital against every protest. Where by trying to reach the education authorities, it quickly came out that all the information, all the documents were forged and Tony had registered himself at the school. She completely refused to say where her parents were and who was taking care of her.

Without further ado, Son goku decided to take the young Damme in with him. He didn't want to let a Saiyan come into the youth center, although he was sure that she would make the bend there very quickly. He also wanted to know how it could be that they hadn't noticed for 16 years that there was another Saiyan on earth. How could it be that he hadn't even felt her aura and her fighting power. But as he had observed her then, she was quite weak compared to his sons or the other fighters.

Chichi was initially skeptical about the arrival of the new family member. But Tony had quickly turned out to be a very polite, intimate and helpful girl. Son Goku was quickly drawn to her sense of humor and her love for the earth. But when it came to her mother or the training, she completely refused by talking her way out of the situation. Vegeta drove her "lack of ambition" to insanity. Not only once did he accuse her of being the most pathetic Saiyan of all time and a huge shame. which apparently left her pretty cold. She replies relatively calmly “do we know each other? No ! So how did you get the crazy idea that I would be even remotely interested in what you think of me.” You don't have to be a clairvoyant to know that this was like adding fuel to the fire. Son goku had been busy for a good 20 minutes getting Vegeta under control again, while Piccolo brought the somewhat distraught Tony home.

His niece had grown very fond of him in that short time. Even if he did notice that she was carrying something. But what? slowly he strolled up the stairs to the attic. In which his friends helped him build a nice room for Tony. But when he quietly opened the door to check on her,

he found the room empty. The window was open. Now that he knew her aura, it didn't take Songoku long to locate her.

Loud laughter and music hit him from the big basement of an abandoned apartment building.

Tony saw it with some teenagers and adults in a corner and smoked. From a lecture Songohan had given him as practice for college, Songoku knew exactly what Tony and her friends were doing around the circle. “Antonya!” his voice drowned out the music. The young Saiyan choked and her eyes widened at the sight of him. "..We go now ! Come here now !”

his summons cut the situation sharply. Tony got up slowly and handed her glass of wine to her friends to walk over to him. On the one hand, her body wanted to refuse, all the alarm bells seemed to be ringing loudly in her. Her heart was pounding in her chest and she couldn't make sense of her reaction to her uncle. no one had scared her like that before. She had never felt such authority before and inwardly she was aware that she now had to obey it.

When she was close enough, Songoku grabbed her right elbow and the next moment she found herself in a white and seemingly endless space. “Wow..where?….what?….where are we here!” she swallowed.

“In the space of mind and time. while an hour passes in the outside world, a year passes here. All so the perfect place so that we can clarify a few things!” replied Goku.

Son goku expected a counter-argument on her part, the vocabulary was usually her thing.

But to his satisfaction, this time she let it go. With benevolence he registered that although Tony didn't otherwise make any effort to even begin to challenge himself with the abilities of a Saiyan, she still felt that she was far inferior. Songoku was angry, disappointed and sad.

"You sneak out of the house at night to smoke this." disgusted, he threw a joint at her feet that he had picked up in the basement. Slowly hers came loosevoltage and she straightened up a bit. "I do that regularly and I'm fine,.....my grades are excellent, it doesn't have a negative impact on me." she tried to calm him down.

"If you really assumed your act was okay, you wouldn't have to sneak out, would you?".

caught and somewhat defiant, she let her head slide to the side. "look at me , I'm not done yet! or? " Son goku asked his niece and her head snapped back immediately.

"You numb yourself with these substances, that means you are not honest with yourself!"

With every word he said, he watched the young girl across from him closely. What he read on her face was a mixture of fear, sadness and... anger. He was aware that he had to push her further. "Why do you take that shit!"

" Mind your own business!" she hissed back .

He was on her in a second, grabbing her chin. "it is my business, you're part of my family now, I took you in with us, I'm worried about you.!"

With a small burst of energy, she slapped his hand away. "I've only been with you guys for a couple of weeks, how can you talk about family, why do you think you can judge what's good for me? " she snapped at him, her energy rising. Not remotely that Son Goku should have any worries. But he was slowly getting her where he wanted her. " I'm going home now !" She clarified and made her way towards a small house, which she found. But before she had gone even three steps, her feet were pulled away and she landed on the ground. " do you still have them all!" she yelled. but Son Goku remained unimpressed and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"As far as your stubbornness is concerned, you seem to be typical Saiyan......it's a pity you don't leave me any other choice...!"

"Of course it's your choice.... Shut the crap and let me out of here!"

"For you to keep lying to yourself, I will not allow you to keep lying to yourself."

He stood in her way once more.

“You have two options.

1. you tell me what's going on, why you think you need this stuff and you stop right now,

or...

2. you stay Stuhr, try to get out of this situation. I'll stop you, but then you'll have to fight me."

" lick me!" yelled Tony, trying to run past him, earning her a half-goat punch in the stomach. She straightened herself over and over again. It doesn't matter if she tries to get past Son Goku, sometimes punches or kicks him. He dodged, grabbed her leg and threw her away from the entrance again. A good 20 minutes passed and Tony was almost completely on the ground. "ahhhhhhhh this sucks, why can't you just leave me alone!" she yelled in frustration.

" You are angry!"

"Yes, I'm angry, I'm always angry! That's why I smoke it to control the anger. Not feeling it anymore." Slowly the anger subsided with this confession and she noticed Songoku's aura softening as well he looked cross-legged at her head. "I thought so....but just suppressing them won't do you any good in the long run...you have to let that anger out!"

"But then bad things happen, then I lose everyone I care about."Tony's voice grew quieter.

She had never voiced that fear before.

"When I was 4 years old, I was thrown out of the kindergarten because I beat up another child. He laughed at me because of my monkey tail. My mother was very angry,.... the people from the village didn't speak to me anymore. Nobody wanted to have anything to do with me." Songoku listened to her silently and attentively." When I turned 6, my mom went out with a friend at night.It was the first time I was home alone, it was the first time I stayed up that late....and the first time I saw the full moon.."

Both were silent for a while." ..when I awake , half the village was destroyed.My mother.....she and the villagers were hiding in caves in the mountains.When I found them, they were screaming in fear that I was a monster, abominable. I didn't know what had happened until you told me about the Saiyan and the Uzaro. I realized it......you should have seen the disgust in my mother's eyes......she put me in a children's home." Slowly Goku's hands placed on her shoulders and pulled her up to him as his arms pulled the girl into a tight hug.

“In nursery I met a girl who I became friends with , we became like sisters, when we were about 11 the boys wouldn't leave her alone, she cried and I lost control again. I almost beat the guys to pieces, after that she was scared of me…………….I fled onto the street and met a couple of guys who offered me marijuana, I quickly realized that I could forget the anger that way, but not them felt more. could have a normal life. ..when i get angry i lose everything. bad things happen!”

“These things didn't happen because you were angry. but because no one has shown you how to channel the anger. to handle her." Songoku felt a lump in his throat. He would have liked to have met her sooner. “ because nobody showed you who and what you are. But I will do that from now on. You just have to let me teach you...I'll show you how strong you are! I won't leave you alone anymore! "

Before I start, @erased-zamasu I saw that you like Saiyan ChiChi and Human Goku Au so maybe you would enjoy ? If you're only interested in the GoChi parts then we're getting to it :D ! You should read the part 1 of this though. For the rest just know that Vegeta is a rich boy searching the DB to get away from is dad in the summer break. He managed to recruit ChiChi into coming with him to help her search for Master Roshi and in return, once Mt Frypan is no longer on fire he can have the Dragon Ball here. He also recruited Nappa, who seems strong and can actually break rocks with his hands but wouldn't last 2 minutes in a fight because he's fragile actually, to be intimidating for him through the power of money. And Raditz just forced himself ounto this ragtag group because he plan to steal the Dragon Ball.

Aaand here is part 8. Enjoy :D !

So I kinda want this part to have horror movie vibe. Like protagonist are taken down 1 by 1 while they are split off you know ? Except it isn't probably going to possible :'). Except with Raditz maybe :').

So anyway Vegeta and Nappa find Goku carrying a giant fish on the road like Bulma did. This of course start an argument between them. And between Vegeta negative stats at communication/diplomacy, and Nappa who's default reaction was to try to intimidate what he thought was just a weird kid (nevermind the giant fish he was literally carrying, Nappa did not have a good perception roll), well Goku completely misunderstood the situation and our 2 idiots intention.

For a little background, I know that Grandpa Gohan took Goku with him to a trip into town once, and it did not go well with the villager (reread the part 1 if your confused by that). Which convinced Grandpa to isolate Goku nearly completely until he gets older. What I'm not sure though, is if Goku was old enough to remember the trip when it happened. But in any case, our monkey boy already has somewhat a negative biais because of it. Because even if he does not remember it happening, and Grandpa certainly did not told him, he still see that Grandpa really doesn't want him to go into a town. And by the way his Grandpa acts, the "why" is related to the people outside their mountain, even if he tried his best to hide it.

So yeah, seeing stranger already made him suspicious, but stranger than ride a very strange metal beast ? And that spoke to him with disdain and tried to intimidate him ? Ooh those guys are bad guys for sure !

So he knocks them out, quick and fast, and tell himself "yeah I stopped bad guys, Grandpa gonna be so proud :D". And then he hears the commotion of ChiChi and Raditz prior and he's like "There are more >:(". Grandpa isn't here, gone shopping for some supplies in a nearby village, so Goku the one who will have to step up. And so his hunt begin here >:D.

He know the forest well and he know how to travel efficiently so he finds Raditz before ChiChi does. And that's kind of where I wanted to place the horror vibe part, with Goku careful to not be seen by Raditz and taking him out by surprise (again) as nothing but his shadow is seen. But if we already saw Goku from his interaction with Vegeta and Nappa then what's the point ? Beside it isn't also a very "dragon ball" scenario, or something in character for Goku to do.

So instead Goku confront Raditz (who didn't have any injury from the fall thanks to being a gag manga character) face to face. And no, Raditz doesn't really connects any dots right for reasons I'll explain later. So the confrontation is mostly normal. Raditz is surprised to see someone here. And though he doesn't understand a thing of what Goku is saying (not because of accent or anything, he's just lacking context), he see that the kid is hostile and wants to fight. He has no trouble fighting with a 12 year old so he does. It didn't turn well for him. RIP Raditz.

Nonetheless this is the first indication that Goku is strong. Because while we hadn't see Raditz actually fight before this point. We know he's actually a fighter, unlike Nappa and Vegeta. And he do get to show off some technics before getting knocked out too. But also let's not kid ourself, Raditz was not that strong. He's weaker that Yamcha was at the beginning of the manga and he doesn't have a distinct style like Yamcha has. Still by normal human standard, he's no pushover.

So Goku now has a total of 3 people knocked out + 1 fish to tie up and carry back to his house. Not gonna be fun. Meanwhile ChiChi finally found where Raditz landed but no Raditz in sight ! (The Pterodactyl still there though). She does find traces of a fight and someone being taken away. She does to follow them but those traces stop midway ! (Goku remembered to erase them halfway). So she has no choice but to explore the surroundings until she finds something.

By the times she find Vegeta's car (with Goku's fish), Goku had already tied up all his "prisoners" on a tree near his house. He was coming back for his fish where he also saw ChiChi examining the scene to try to find out what happened. And he got angry because not only was she probably one of the bad guys, but she also seems to want to steal his fish :(. So of course a fight ensued.

And Goku won. Okay okay let me explain my reasoning here. I know by all means ChiChi should win. They're both the same age, probably both got trained by 2 legends as soon as it was possible and ChiChi as a biological advantage of being of a superpowered warrior race. BUT, I have no doubt that Gohan was the better martial artist between himself and Ox-king. And it said that he knew every type of martial arts in the world, which he absolutely taught Goku (as much as he could up until that point anyway, Goku is still very much in training after all). Plus I think they would have been more rigorous in their training : considering it a way to develop themself spiritually and so important to devot themself to it. While ChiChi and Ox-king did it because they liked it and as a form of Father-Daughter bonding.

I also think Gyumao/Ox-king way of training ChiChi was close to Master Roshi : aka nearly entirely based on strengthening yourself first and developing a martial art style second. So ChiChi only has the basics in that regards.

What I'm saying is that in terms of brute strength ChiChi is definitely stronger. If this was arm-wrestling she would have won effortlessly. But this is a fight, a martial art spar. And Goku was taught how to handle opponent stronger than him. So the match is long, and hard, and leave him dead on his feet, but yes he did win it.

ChiChi is incredibly impressed. That boy is so cool ! And strong ! And ! And ! What he is saying right now doesn't really matter because ChiChi express her thoughts out loud after that. She is very excited (and definitely has a crush). Which confuse Goku. And thanks to that they managed to explain what's going on to each other.

Goku casually apologise for knocking and kidnapping her friends and invite her (and them) to dinner with him to make it up. ChiChi says to not worry about it, it's not a big deal :D, and can't wait to go eat (and to taste Goku's cooking). Those pure-hearted innocent children, neither of them realize that normal people do not consider "knocking out and kidnapping" as "not a big deal" lol, bless their soul.

They're gonna find out quickly though, especially Goku. Because when they got into his home, they find Grandpa Gohan, back from his trip with now three awake guest which he wasn't happy to find tied to a tree (yes they woke up before he come back).

Will Goku survive his Grandpa scolding ! Of course ! How ? Wait to find out :D. See you next time :DD

Hello would you like a rant about one of those :

_An AU I have where Goku is an earthling and ChiChi a saiyan (Og DB version and/or DBZ version)

_An AU where Vegeta was sent to Earth instead of Goku, but Goku is still very much the Main Character (beside I hyperfocus a lot on the Son Family so the Au is mainly on how, against all odds, this family still managed to find each other)

_About a song that I think would fit GoChi pretty well :D (the song in question being "Je te Donne" by Jean-Jacques Goldman but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't know it since most of it is in french and it is pretty old :(, I'll do a translation if you do want to hear about it :) )

_About how Goku was a smart kid, it's not his fault confused "stupid" and "was taught very little basic knowledge" :((

_About how, while I like the first telefilm on Bardock and prefer the personality they gave him, I largely prefer DB Minus as the story on how Goku got sent to Earth and my frustration with the telefilm being mostly used as the reference (though I can downplay that last part if you want). As a bonus I can also expand on how and why I also prefer the manga version of DB Minus over what they did in the DB Super Broly movie

I just discovered your blog and I love it :DDD. I am also very glad to found another person who like Og Dragon Ball more than Dbz :DD. You're amazing and I hope you're having a good day/night :]

Yes but I’m bad at making choices so any one you want lol

ibara

favorite thing about them: His lust for life. I think he and Eichi probably has the strongest lust for life among the cast? And I really love them for it. Especially since Ibara was given so little as a child, yet he made so much for himself and wants so much more. Bless his greedy lil heart <3

least favorite thing about them: Capitalism. Specifically, he needs to pay for helping Eichi come up with the ES insular L$ economy situation, which is clearly based on a combination of the Yumenosaki L$ system and the Shuetsu/COSPRO all-inclusive living arrangement system. Why did you guys have to go ahead and invent new forms of slavery? Why???

favorite line: This one here, from Gang... I just... He was given so little! You would think a child like this would be focused on survival, but he wants something more precious than life itself, something he's glad to be born for. It's both very heartbreaking but also very admirable to hear him say this as a young child. Cause even while having nothing, he still seeks for meaning... I have so much respect for child Ibara.

brOTP: Eden forever

OTP: While I don't specifically ship Eden polycule I do enjoy the dynamic when I see it. I really really need the IbaYuzu relationship to have some closure. Whenever I see fanarts of them in military camp I am so sad you don't understand.

nOTP: Once again as much as I love the IbaYuzu dynamic I have no desire to see them get (back) together. I think that chapter of their life has ended. I wish they can have like... a reverse Quarrel Festival kind of situation where Yuzuru can tell Ibara how proud he is of how far he's come. Then I can die satisfied.

random headcanon: So there's this part in Conquest where Ibara started listing all the rivals in media with "holmes and moriarty, godzilla and king ghidora, goku and vegeta", only to list "war of the roses" later when Hiyori didn't seem to get it... I think, back at the orphanage, he was probably mostly raised by the TV, so he knows a lot of pop-culture references. He'd also read any book he'd get his hands on. So his knowledge is pretty eclectic. After having the resources he immediately crash-coursed in business but also went back to examine pop-culture and entertainment through a business lens. If you ask for his preferences he might have to think real hard about it.

unpopular opinion: This is not an unpopular opinion but like... I think he has so much little person energy. He's just so smol and precious in my mind. While a lot of fans tend to buy into Eden's sinful and sexy image. But like... my impression of Ibara:

song i associate with them: Happy Now - Hey Ocean

favorite picture of them:

This was from his CG from SS, and the card is called COMPLETE JOY??? And the lines that went with it... HE'S SO HAPPY! The part where he's saying to Yuzuru about how much he's grown... it's so... I'm so proud of him and he deserves to be proud of himself for making it. It's also so like him to focus on the physical aspects of growing up healthy and eating good food. Cause those are like... things anyone else takes for granted. But they're important for him to mention because they're quantifiable quality of life, you see? And it's a sign that he's free and doesn't to struggle for survival anymore. *Puts face in hands.*

Sweat

Chapter 3

We’re going to be honest here, this chapter is pure Goku smut. We started writing and it just sort of happened.

The following morning came too fast. You awoke with one of Goku's arms and a leg draped over you. He was like a furnace but the house was just chilly enough to make it comfortable.

"Kakarot! Where the hell are you?" Vegeta called from the front door.

You pushed Goku's arm away and jolted up in bed.

"Shit,” you muttered as you got dressed quickly.

Goku woke up slowly and stared at you for a moment, blinking until his eyes adjusted.

"Get up, Vegeta's here. He can't know about this." You scrambled around the room to grab the rest of your clothes.

Goku yawned and sat up, stretching his muscles, "he's probably here to train."

"A little more urgency please?" You rushed to get dressed and threw his clothes at him.

"It's not a big deal. It was just like training." Goku continued to move at a slow pace.

"I still don't want him to know about it. Now get dressed," you said in a harsh whisper. He moved a little faster but it was still slow enough to stress you out.

"Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted again.

"Just go and get him out of here." You shoved Goku towards the door.

"But my shirt-"

You ignored him and continued pushing him towards the door.

Once he was out of the room, you quietly closed the door and listened for any indication that Vegeta was suspicious.

"What the hell took so long, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, sounding just as disgruntled as usual.

"I was trying to find my clothes." He scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"It took you that long and you're still not fully dressed?" Vegeta sounded more annoyed than usual but it might’ve just been your paranoia making you think that.

"I couldn't remember where I left them," Goku replied, leaving more unanswered questions.

"How do you function, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, deciding against anymore questions about what he was doing. With Goku that could end up more frustrating than it was worth.

Goku shrugged, "I don't know, I just do."

You were still scrambling to get dressed and tripped over your own shoes, hitting the floor hard.

"What was that?" Vegeta glanced down the hallway.

"Nothing, you ready to train?" Goku stepped in front of him.

"Is there someone-"

Goku knew you didn't want Vegeta knowing about your arrangement so he did the only thing he thought might distract him. "I was thinking about training with Yamcha, he said he thinks he can beat both of us now."

"He what?! That puny excuse for a human?! Ridiculous. I'll show him how wrong he is." Vegeta took off in an instant.

Goku felt a little bad for turning Vegeta loose on Yamcha, but he had to protect you in any way he could.

He walked back to his bedroom and pushed the door open.

"You realize he'll kill Yamcha, right?" You asked, arms crossed as you regarded him.

"Why are you dressed? I wanted more," he replied with a sad face, completely disregarding your legitimate worry about Vegeta and Yamcha.

"You want to fuck when Vegeta almost caught us just now? And you're not even worried about Yamcha?" You furrowed your brow.

"Vegeta won't be back for a while and if Yamcha dies then we'll just wish him back with the dragon balls." Goku's gaze roamed up and down your body hungrily. He had a point, Yamcha's death wouldn't be permanent.

Goku closed the gap between you and immediately moved his hands up your shirt.

"Wait, what the fuck, Goku? We're just shrugging off the possible death of a friend so we can fuck for like the 10th time since yesterday?"

"It's not like we're the ones killing him." He shrugged, his hands skimming up the sides of your breasts.

"Fair point, but still, it doesn't seem right." You moaned slightly when he cupped your breasts, large hands completely engulfing them in warmth.

He pinched and tugged at your nipples, pulling you back in with very little effort. There was no denying it felt great to unleash all of your pent up sexual frustration. And Goku had an endless supply of stamina so it worked in your favor.

"Fuck me," you whispered, ready to get lost in him again.

He had your shirt and pants stripped off of you in no time. He pulled you into a deep kiss, his tongue slipping past your lips as he tasted you again. You leaned into him, wrapping your arms around his neck.

He walked you back towards the wall and lifted you into his arms, wrapping your legs around his waist.

"Can you transform again?" You asked, reaching down between you to grip his cock beneath his low hanging sweats.

"Which form?" He asked breathlessly between kisses.

"I want to say all of them, but that might kill me this time." You grinned and nipped at his lip.

"Which is your favorite then?"

"Instinct?" You bit your bottom lip and hoped he would be okay with it.

"That one's not too much?" He asked, brow raised with worry.

"It's intense but that's what I want. You're somehow even better when you let your instincts take over."

Goku pulled you into another kiss as he lined his cock up and eased into you.

"Wait, does that mean I'm good at fucking you?" He asked with a slight smirk.

"You heard how much you made me scream last night. I wasn't faking." You grinned and clenched around his cock.

"I must be really good then," he groaned, pausing when he was seated deep inside of you.

"Am I good at fucking you?"

"You make it really hard not to come quick." He remained still.

"That's somehow really sweet and kind of hot."

"You ready?" He asked as he prepared to increase his power level.

"Fucking do it." You nodded your head eagerly.

His hair changed from black to silver in an instant. You felt his body changing and increasing in size against you, including his cock. Unlike the night before, he didn't go through each transformation. From his base form right into instinct was a big difference. It felt like his power was surging through your body as the air crackled around you.

"Can we just stay here today?" You asked, breathless before he even started moving within you.

"You want to stay like this all day?" He asked with a playful smirk. He eased out of you slowly and slammed back in so hard your breath was pushed from your lungs.

"All fucking day," you moaned when you caught your breath.

"No plans?" He grunted, slamming into you even harder.

"Not a fucking thing." Meeting with Kyla was the furthest thing from your mind. It was impossible to even remember she existed with Goku fucking you so hard the wall sounded like it was seconds from crumbling.

"What about training?" He thrust into you harder.

"Tell him you're sick." You clung to him, digging your nails into his muscular shoulders.

"Are you sure?" He began a steady pace, slamming into you hard and fast.

"Fuck... yes... " you nearly shouted when his cock hit perfectly within you.

He panted against your neck, his hips snapping against yours with almost brutal force. You clenched around his cock but he continued to drive into you. It was almost addicting with the way his cock hit that perfect spot within you, making you scream his name.

"Come for me," he grunted next to your ear. Your body responded instantly, trembling as you came hard. Your legs tightened around his waist and you held him close as you rode out wave after wave of your release, each more overwhelming than the last.

"God... damn... how do you feel so fucking good?" You panted.

"It's the form." He grunted as he continued to slam into you, feeling you tighten around him so perfectly.

You held onto him as you felt another orgasm building, barely giving you time to recover.

"Just the form?" You managed to ask before your body began to shake again. You thought it was difficult to make you come because it always took so long for other people to do it, but Goku was proving you and them wrong.

He fucked you through your orgasm and didn't let up, thrusting into you repeatedly like a machine. His endless supply of stamina was the gift that kept on giving.

"Gonna... come..." he panted against your neck, his lips brushing over your skin.

"Do it. Please, don't pull out,” you begged, clenching around him to push him closer to the edge.

Without another word, he let go, coming deep inside of you while he held you tight and buried his face in your neck.

"Fuck," you whispered, feeling the warmth of his cum fill you. He backed up towards the bed and collapsed, bringing you down to rest on top of him with his cock still seated deep within you.

His cock twitched inside of you as he finished coming, his breathing erratic and body glistening with sweat. You collapsed on his chest, fighting to catch your own breath.

"Your dick is magic,” you finally spoke.

He reverted back to base form and that trademark goofy grin lit up his face. "I guess it is, you screamed even louder than last night."

"And you came faster this time," you said with a playful smirk.

"I told you, you make it hard not to." He placed his arms behind his head.

"We keep this up and I won't have a voice left." You shifted on top of him.

"Didn't you say we should stay here all day?"

"Yeah and after that I don't have much of a choice. I'm too weak to stand," you laughed and clenched around his cock.

He groaned and slid his hands down over your ass, "are you too weak to ride me?" He asked with innocence only he could pull off.

"I'm not sure, I can try," you replied, sitting up to rest your hands on his muscular chest. He squeezed your ass and pulled you forward to let his cock drag against the walls of your pussy.

As you lifted up a little you could feel his cum drip out of you. He was already instantly hard inside of you.

"Which form this time?" He asked.

"Your choice." You stopped moving when only the tip of his cock remained inside of you. His cum dripped out and down his length while he decided.

His hair turned blue and his hands moved up your body to cup your breasts.

His thumbs flicked over your nipples, making them harden instantly as you sunk back down onto him.

"Blue... perfect." You felt his entire body change beneath you as you rolled your hips.

Just when you were finding your rhythm, your phone vibrated on the bedside table. You sighed and stretched as far as your body would go to grab it. A couple of messages from Vegeta waited. His texts never failed to make you laugh because he wrote them exactly how he spoke in person and you could hear his voice perfectly in your head as you read them.

Vegeta: Where the hell are you, woman? Kakarot is being an idiot and now you're not answering me.

"Someone important?" Goku thrust up into you, pulling your attention back to his cock buried inside of you.

"Just Vegeta. He's asking where- oh shit, I completely fucking forgot!"

"Forgot what?" Goku asked, tilting his head as he looked up at you.

"I told Vegeta I'd meet up with Kyla today. He wants me to see if I can find other things to occupy her time besides him." Saying it out loud made you dread it even more. Having Goku's cock throbbing within you didn't help. Telling Vegeta something came up sounded like a much better option until you considered how that might disappoint him.

"Do you have to go?" He asked with his signature pout.

You shifted and felt his cock pulse again, his cum sticking between your thighs.

"I don't want to but what am I supposed to say?" You asked, still making no move to get up.

"Tell him you're sick," he suggested, just as you had done to convince him to stay.

"Both of us being sick?" You cocked your head to the side.

"We got it from each other. Just too sick to move," he thrust up into you, "or talk... or even stand."

You considered it for a moment. Staying in bed with Goku all day sounded much better than dealing with Kyla and her inevitable attitude towards you. But lying to Vegeta? That would feel bad.

"You're not making this easy," you whined when he thrust into you again.

"Stay. We can order takeout like we usually do when we hang out," he offered with a big smile that was hard to say no to.

"Except this time I'll have your cock shoved in my mouth instead of an egg roll?" You smirked.

"Oh, can't you do both?" He asked with full seriousness.

"Have you seen my mouth? And your dick? I can barely fit one in my mouth."

"What if you put my cock in your mouth between bites of egg roll?" He replied, still completely serious with his response.

"Goku, are you suggesting we fuck while we eat?" You asked, eyebrows raised.

You heard his stomach growl and you couldn't help but laugh, which caused you to tighten your muscles around his cock.

"Can we?" He asked with excitement.

"Fine," you relented, shaking your head while you laughed.

"Why didn't we start fucking a long time ago?" He asked, nearly vibrating with excitement about mixing sex with food time.

"Because sex can ruin friendships."

"How? This seems like a perk of being friends." He held your hips and pulled you down onto him.

"Not everyone is as chill or understanding as you. Feelings can happen and then it's hard to go back to being just friends," you explained, bringing your phone up to type out a quick reply to Vegeta.

I'm really sick, would you be too upset if I just stay home today?

"Do you think Vegeta would do this with you?" He caught you off guard and you immediately blushed.

"I highly doubt it." You shook your head.

"But you'd want him to?"

"Yeah but that doesn't matter if he doesn't feel the same." It was odd talking about the guy you have feelings for while another guy's cock was inside of you. But Goku was no ordinary guy. Many times you wished you could be as carefree and relaxed as him.

"I think he wants to do this with you."

"What makes you think that?" You were curious if he knew something you didn't.

"I don't know. I can just tell." He shrugged.

"How though?"

"He looks at you a lot.”

That left even more questions to build up in your head. How did he look at you? How often? What part of you did he focus on?

"Is that it? Because looking can mean a lot of things." You were trying not to sound desperate for more details, but it wasn't like Goku to bring something like that up. If he noticed it, maybe there really was something behind it.

"He talks about you. Like a lot."

"Does he say anything specific?" You pushed for more.

"Just that he doesn't understand why you haven't found a mate yet. He says saiyans would have fought over you."

"I doubt that," you said with a faraway look in your eye. Goku wouldn't lie to you but it also felt too good to be true.

"Why? From everything Vegeta has told me about our race, you're the kind of woman they like."

"One who can eat her weight in fried rice?" You smiled.

"Maybe, but also someone strong and not easily overpowered."

Before you could reply, your phone vibrated in your hand with a new message from Vegeta.

I'm at your house and you're not here, woman. Where are you?

"Oh fuck... "

"What?" Goku asked.

"Vegeta is at my house. He wants to know where I am." You stared at your phone, unsure of how to respond to him. You couldn't exactly say you were riding Goku's dick.

"Tell him you went out for medicine?" He suggested. His hands moved up your thighs to settle at your hips, clearly ready to get back to the fucking.

I went out to get medicine before I head to Goku's. He told me he's sick too.

"Okay, there. Now, let me ride you into your next form." You circled your hips, feeling his cock hit deep within you.

Goku snapped his hips up to meet you as you moved. Your phone buzzed again and you were tempted to ignore it, but you couldn’t.

Good, I'll meet you there.

"Fuck. He's on his way here."

"Guess we need to come quickly then." He sat up and pulled you against his chest, letting you continue to ride him while he held you closer.

"Goddammit, Vegeta," you panted, picking up the pace.

His hands moved around to your back and down to your ass. "When do I get to fuck this hole?"

"Fuck... now all I'll be able to think about while he's here is you shoving your cock in my ass. Thanks, Goku," you chided.

"We should make him leave sooner then." Goku fucked you harder as you wrapped yourself around him.

"I need to feel your cum dripping out of all of my holes,” you begged, already close.

"I can do that, might need food first though," he grunted before flipping you over to your back to fuck you even harder.

"Instinct, Goku... Instinct!” You shouted. In a split second his hair turned silver and he thrust into you so hard it took your breath away.

"Fuck," you cried out, scraping your nails down his back.

"Come for me. Quick. I can sense his energy getting closer." Goku ordered as he fucked you relentlessly.

You pulled him down and bit into his shoulder to stay quiet as you came. He grunted loudly next to your ear and you felt his teeth dig into your neck as his cum filled you once more.

Both of you panted and moaned through muffled mouths as you bit down on each other's skin. You came so hard that your body trembled as he held you close.

"Fuck me. You might actually kill me." You tried to control your breathing.

He reverted to his base form and smiled, "I'll just wish you back."

"Only if you promise to keep fucking me after you bring me back." You grinned, chest heaving and burning from how hard you were panting.

"I will." He pulled out of you and climbed off the bed to gather the clothes you both tossed off in a frenzy.

He handed you your clothing and you both got dressed quickly. The only thing on your mind was getting to fuck him again. You swore it was turning into an addiction and you wondered if it would be easy to break.

"How do I look?" You asked once you were fully dressed.

"Like you've been having sex all morning." He grinned.

"So, exhausted and sweaty, perfect for making him think I'm really sick," you said, passing by him to make your way to the living room.

"I'm starving," Goku said through a yawn. He sat down next to you on the couch and leaned back to get comfortable.

You jolted forward, panic rising in your chest again. "Fuck! Vegeta thinks I went to pick up medicine, how the fuck am I going to explain why there's not any?"

"We took it all." Goku suggested simply.

"Nothing ever bothers you, does it?" You were amazed at how chill he was.

"He'll either find out or he won't. Nothing to really worry about."

"But if he is interested in me like you said and he finds out, don't you think he'll be upset?" You asked. It was impossible not to look at every way the situation could implode.

Goku scratched the back of his head. "I don't see why he would be, it's not like he claimed you yet."

"And you haven't... you know, claimed me, have you?" You had zero clue about saiyan traditions.

"No. At least I don't think so. Do you want me to?"

"I... no? I mean, you're 100% husband material but we've always just been friends and this thing with Vegeta doesn't seem to be going away. Do you want to claim me?" You asked, curious what was going through that adorable head of his.

He shrugged in normal Goku fashion, "I do like fucking you, but like you said, we're just friends and I wouldn't want to mess that up."

Even though you were only friends with Vegeta, sleeping with Goku felt like a betrayal. Add the lying on top of that and you couldn't shake the icky feeling building in the pit of your stomach while you waited for him to show up.

"It's okay we're doing this, right?"

"I think so. Do you not want to?" He looked almost destroyed at the thought that you wanted to stop.

You didn't want to end it, the sex was phenomenal, but the guilt still sat in your chest like a anvil.

"No, I want to, I just... feel a little guilty, I guess?" You were aware of how ridiculous it sounded when you said it out loud but it didn't stop the feeling from weighing you down.

"Feel guilty about what?"

You jumped at the deep voice behind you and turned to see Vegeta standing there, arms crossed while he waited for an answer.

I could cry y’all. Episode 37 was SO GOOD. So good!! It truly felt like a Mimi episode, and it truly felt like Digimon Adventure, in multiple ways. It’s seriously fantastic!

I feel at once super duper relieved that this show is, really and truly, capable of this time of episode, and also super duper confused why, if it could do this, it hasn’t been doing it the whole time??

Anyway, we’ve now had four or five solid episodes in a row, so I’m letting myself feel hopeful again!

This episode is called “Mimi Wars,” but I feel it might be more aptly titled “Sailor Mimi”

In the name of employee rights, I will punish you!

More below!

Okay... so as I was watching this episode, I really got the feeling that they were parodying something again. Like last we had a Mimi episode - far far away in the distant past though it was - when they very obviously parodied Castle in the Sky. That’s twice now Mimi’s been compared with a girl with twin tails, Usagi’s pigtails and Sheeta’s braids xD

Although the poses Mimi uses aren’t exact replicas of Usagi’s, though, so maybe I’m wrong. I got the Usagi vibe from her personality even more, so maybe using the poses would have been considered copyright infringement and so they had to change them a little. Or, maybe Mimi is parodying someone else who also uses dramatic hand movements and talks a lot about justice in spite of being generally clueless...

See the resemblance? XD

But what I REALLY think is going on is, they’re spoofing the genre in general, while also taking it seriously. That’s important. It’s not just a joke here. This is the girl power episode, in a way, and in my opinion, it’s a better girl power episode than the fare I got used to growing up, which went more or less like this:

Guy: *does something with good intentions but inept*

Girl: Ugh! Men don’t respect women!

Guy: I’m sorry, what did I do wrong?

Girl: I won’t tell you because feminism! C’mon girlfriends, let’s assert our confidence as women by going on a girls night out shopping spree and making a bunch of random guys stare in awe at us for no clear reason!

Girls: Yes! This is third wave feminism!

... that was more or less the formula. It was... awkward. I’d like to blame on “those episodes were written by men who think all feminists are angry feminists,” but I think if I went and checked who the scriptwriters were, there’d be some women in there for sure.

What we got in THIS episode is something I’d actually want my daughter to see. First off you’ve got Mimi, who loves pink and pretty things and comes across as a real girly girl, not to mention a bit of a ditz. And the show’s straight up, “but just because you have flaws doesn’t mean you can’t grow into a great person. Also, being girly is not incompatible with being a boss.”

Mimi doesn’t need to be a man, nor does she need to be a hard ass, nor does she need to be especially kind and sweet to soften her orders. All she has to do, according to this episode, is care about her craft, care about quality, and care about worker conditions.

I mean... a show where the girl boss wasn’t a Russian spy in a former life?? A show where the girl boss isn’t a Stepford wife who got where she is by marrying rich and funding her perfume company that way? She’s... she’s Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. She gets to be flawed and girly and fun-loving and bossy and ditzy all at the same time. She loves diamonds - but diamonds are no longer a “girl’s best friend.” Rather, Mimi herself is the diamond in the rough!

This actually makes her a really good set with Sora. Sora continues to be both a tomboy and very sisterly. Mimi’s very girly but very bossy. Between the two of them, they can conquer the world. Of course, I don’t know that the show would take it any farther than they already have, but I’m just happy to see this development for Mimi at all. We had it to a degree in 99 Adventure, and Kizuna took it a bit further by making her an entrepreneur. Reboot Mimi is a remix of that for the 21st century.

*deeeeeeeeeep breath*

so... back to our regularly scheduled programming!

As awesome as Mimi is, she’s not the only one who’s great in this episode. The others get to let their real personalities shine, at least. We needed this episode sooooo bad like 20 episodes ago... le sigh.

Anyway, we start off having mad camp, for some reason (why aren’t they just staying on Komondomon?? whatev)

Food! They’re going to get food! They’re splitting up and making a plan in order to get food!!! I still miss the “food desperation” of 99 Adventure but hey, at least they’re acknowledging that they need to eat.

Sora advises Hikari and Takeru not to go too far on their quest and Tailmon swears like a knight of the round table to protect Hikari with her life.

Taichi: Oookay... note to self: don’t piss off little sister’s hotheaded partner...

Taichi adds that they’re also counting on Patamon, who is just thrilled to go off and play with Takeru.

Tailmon: *BIG SIGH*

Lol I really love that they’re bringing back the old Patamon/Tailmon dynamic where she’s all grown up serious and he’s got the priorities of a toddler most of the time... It’s Black Widow and Hawkeye bahahahaha

We even get to see them COLLECT FOOD what did I do to deserve this they are COLLECTING FOOD IT’S NOT HAPPENING OFF SCREEN I REPEAT IT’S NOT HAPPENING OFF SCREEN

Taichi even has to warn Agumon not to eat the food becaues they’re supposed to be gathering it to share ;___; omg... we actually get on screen proof that Agumon is a glutton??

Then Taichi tries to “help” by shaking the tree and the tree falls and they -

BAHAHAHAHAHA

humor!!! Poking fun at Taichi even!! Over food!! Because he has a klutz for a partner!!! And because he himself was overzealous!! ;_; I could die of Cute.

Sora absolutely shocks me this episode too. I expected she’d just watch Taichi and Agumon drift away with their folly while sighing and shrugging her shoulders or something.

NOPE

She jumps DIRECTLY UP and into the water without a moment’s hesitation, like they’re going to die without her - I don’t even know what her plan is here, she seems to want Piyomon to evolve and pull them out, but why does that mean Sora has to be in the water too?

I think her sisterly instincts just freaked out on seeing Taichi looking wet and confused and clinging to a tree trunk so she just did the first thing she could think of which was “Get to him!!”

Piyomon then fails to evolve, reason unclear, I suppose she’s hungry... they never do eat though so I’m not sure why she can evolve later xD (probably they eat off screen)

But I mean I just love that we got this bit with Sora. I call it freaking out but she doesn’t seem freaked out - she stays calm and seems decisive and takes action - all good things. It’s just hard to understand her thought process xD But it’s all good info about Sora. (again stuff we needed more of AGES ago)

Now I had thought this was all just a funny bit that was separate to the main story, but this is how Taichi and Sora end up washed up in the rocky area Mimi is. This does mean Koushirou, Takeru, and Hikari aren’t much in the rest of the episode, sadly. Not sure why but the reboot does seem to struggle with writing episodes for the whole group.

Like last week, I’m somewhat miffed that, in the end, the main group finds the stragglers instead of the other way around. It’s even worse this time because at least last episode Koushirou told them where he was and they had a reason to go there. This time they have no idea Mimi’s gonna be there and it’s all a big coincidence. On the other hand... I do think Mimi was born under a lucky star, so that explains it. :P

Taichi and Sora suddenly find them selves trapped Gulliver’s Travels style and they’re both immediately like, “Hmm... something about this situation seems very familiar...”

Taichi and Sora: Oh that’s RIGHT we totally forgot that the pink cowgirl we hand out with is also TOTALLY BATSHIT

D’awww. Our future overlord is just so adorable, I don’t even mind when she flogs us in the street

TBH, up till now they’ve woefully underestimated just how batshit she is. And it’s wonderful.

So Mimi has happened upon some poor, disenfranchised Digimon who are being forced to work for an evil boss who collects the beautiful gems that grow in this area. Like in 99 Adventure, Mimi will have none of this sort of crap. Her reasons, though, have evolved with the times:

omg... she voted for Bernie Sanders!

This is how Harry and Ron reacted when Hermione said she was starting a house-elf welfare organization called SPEW.

Though I joke - like I said before, even though Taichi and Sora are rather mind-boggled by Mimi’s mood swings and fits of passion, and there’s definitely humor there, Mimi herself is not a joke here. We are shown strongly that, however in the clouds her head might be, her heart is not only in the place, it’s also already internalized the fact that people don’t always get treated well in the real world and it’s up to those with power to ensure that are protected.

I mean. At this point, I’m going, “Sorry but ISN’T MIMI THE REAL LEADER IN THIS SHOW?!?!”

Of course she does have another, less lofty motivation... she really likes pretty stones.

Buhahahaha.

Mimi’s names are as creative as they are incredible, just like her. Taichi and Sora have trouble keying in with Mimi due to how changeable she is, but they never talk badly about her or reject her. They never try to wrest leadership from her either! Taichi might think Mimi’s names for the stones are over the top, but sort of sidesteps it and just goes along with her plan.

Reason #14567876867867 why I love Yagami Taichi: when someone else is the leader, he can be a follower. And he’ll be the BEST follower. Keep reading to see why.

The story of how Mimi befriended the enslaved rock Digimon here is pretty much how Goku became besties with Vegeta.

Men communicate their hearts through their fists! Or swords, depending on the anime. ANOTHER AWESOME SUBVERSIVE MOMENT FOR MIMI - she’s now even got cliche shonen hero tropes assigned to her!

Taichi and Sora, like I said, don’t try to change Mimi’s mind - they’re actually touched by her strong feelings about workers’ rights and her desire to help her new friends -

Taichi: Wait... what?

Sora: Well, she’s still a ten year old girl.

The rock Digimon show their allegiance to Princess CEO Mimi. They don’t even mind having their names and identities stripped away and being reduced to numbers on an Excel spreadsheet...

Taichi: I hate Excel.

Sora: I do too, but I’m more impressed that she remembers the numbers she gave us back in episode 6.

Taichi: Impressed? More like filled with a sense of impending doom

Only Taichi seems to understand Mimi’s unique power bahahaha.

But back to what I said earlier, about Mimi being the real leader: I don’t know if the show’s gonna keep doing anything with this at all, but I really like that they didn’t NOT do this in order to ensure Taichi’s the only leader. (I mean, Yamato’s so far not made much of a bid for leadership so he’s been pretty uncontested thus far. He also hasn’t had to do all that much leading given how often the group is separated... but I digress)

I love the idea that Taichi can step back and let someone else take the reins when they’re best suited. Which Mimi is, due to her easy ability to make friends and gain trust. Mimi had this ability in 99 as well and it was used in the final battle to muster the troops, so to speak. It ought to have been a bigger deal but wasn’t since she missed most of the final battle :/ But I loved that “social, able to make friends” wasn’t some stupid “Girls talk too much” trait, it was actually something that was useful. This is a great place to take that with the reboot.

At the same time, while Mimi and Taichi both have similar leadership traits, there are places they diverge that potentially make them leaders for different situations. Taichi’s pretty cool and strategic even in emergencies. He was more of a hothead in 99, but Mimi’s always been quick to anger. (And quick to cool down.) As we’ll see in this episode, that’s sort of where Taichi’s true ability lies: he’s serious, determined, strategic, and reliable as well as brave. But this is Mimi’s episode, and Taichi isn’t going to get to be the hero anymore than he (almost) was last week with Koushirou. Because more than one character can have positive leadership traits! Hallelujah.

Quick nip over to Komondomon and the others - Koushirou’s group is going to try to find them, but Komondomon falls asleep. Oh noes. I wish someone (Koushirou) would ask, out loud, “Gee, what are these strange symbols that appear when we communicate via digivice? Do they mean something? How were they assigned?” I really thought we’d get a hint what with all the conveniently colorful gemstones this episode, but still nope.

My girl looking like a BAMF!

Mimi explains her plan to her servants employees. She is surprisingly artistic!

Sora plays the role of bait to create a diversion while Greymon digs a tunnel to get to where the gems are stored. Mimi congratulates herself on a job well done.

Taichi: A job well done? Who d’you think has been doing the work here?

Greymon: That would be me.

Taichi: Right, right I was going to say you >.>;

So we do see bits of Mimi’s self-centered side as well - she’s not perfect, but who is? Taichi just lives with it. Mwehehehe.

... will be fired! LMAO

No. 72 is Taichi, btw. Mimi gave up calling people by their names for Lent.

Taichi: Lent’s not for over a month.

Mimi: It’s never too early for religious sacrifice.

Taichi: And you’re not Catholic.

Mimi: I celebrate Mardi Gras.

Taichi: yOU JUST LIKE THE COSTUMES AND KING CAKE

He’s miffed and he.... just lives with it. Again. xD

It’s hilarious. And adorable. I love both that 1) Mimi is an awesome boss while being, in fact, rather bossy, and that 2) in spite of being a boss type himself, Taichi not only listens to Mimi, but he totally indulges her like he’s her older brother or something x’D He wouldn’t be out of line for saying “I have a name you know!” On the other hand, I guess he knows her well enough to understand that she doesn’t mean anything by it, and... there’s no stopping her when she gets like this :P

Feel the wrath of Tachikawa Mimi!!!

So Mimi’s plan has worked so far, and she’s got everyone listening to her despite her questionable business practices, and then she... suddenly rushes off in another direction.

Taichi: That’s it, I am through being her personal assistant if she’s just going to change the plan on a whim!

Taichi: ... I don’t want to see her get hurt or be sad though...

Greymon understands Taichi’s heart ;___; and enables him to go after Mimi. I don’t really get why it’s wise to split up given that Taichi can’t fight big rock Digimon without his partner... x’D So I’m going to chalk this up to, Greymon understands that Taichi is, at his core, the team Dad. He’s got to be allowed to worry and check up on the kids, even when it’s not so advisable. Awwwwwwwww.

Indeed, Taichi doesn’t get to be the hero this ep, but small moments like this give us waaaay more character development than always being the hero!

Fortunately Mimi does have her own partner and she’s not afraid of the enemy’s rock hard abs. :P

They make it into the storage center for all the gems. IT’S SO COLORFUL. Ten year old men is squeeing just like Mimi.

Come on!! She’s holding yellow/orange topaz and purple amethyst! It could be the material for Taichi or Takeru’s and Koushirou’s crests! (I always liked fire opal for Taichi though xD)

Taichi’s been promomted!! To chief pack animal x’D Just because it’s a cool name doesn’t mean that’s what the job is, Meems.

Taichi’s just like, “I think I’m too young for that position.” Bahahaha.

He’s going to be carrying her books to school before long.

Then something big and hard hits Taichi in the head!! He freaking starts to cry, it hurts so bad!!

Taichi: Owww! Omg I think I got a concussion from that! Help someone call an ambulance!

He was hit in the head by a diamond, which Mimi loves. So she goes off on a monologue about how much she likes diamonds. She never asks him if he’s okay x’D

Taichi: Don’t worry about me, I’m fine, not that you asked or anything.

Mimi: Please, everyone knows your head is already harder than diamonds.

Taichi: ...

The pile of gems looks like Fruity Pebbles. Mmmmm

It turns out the mastermind of this whole operation is Gogmamon, who is the bastard child of Gogmagog I assume :P He eats the gemstones as well as Gotsumon for power. He then produces the diamonds?? I didn’t quite understand if he was spitting out the diamonds because he didn’t like them, or he was creating them inside him when eating and then spitting them out like... diamond turds...

...

they’re diamond turds aren’t they >__>

Mimi is not interested in big business bulldozing the mom and pop shops and small upstarts. And she hates sweatshops! She is pro-Fair Trade all the way! And she will yell it in your face!

Taichi: It’s the yelling part that I’m having trouble with.

Mimi: A good speech from the boss is what keeps up employee morale!

Taichi: Yeah, that’s less true when the boss is about to be gobbled up herself...

Golemon and Togemon try to fight Gogmamon and this results in Golemon falling to pieces.

Taichi: Are you okay?

Golemon: My HEAD was knocked off, but sure I’m doing JUST FINE -____- little brat

Taichi stands protectively in front of Golemon’s head. Lol. He’s thinking of strategies... perhaps regretting rushing after Mimi and leaving his own partner behind...

Mimi joins him and Gogmamon finds her a formidable opponent in the war of words. Gogmamon argues that all the rocks, all the Digimon, everything here belongs to him and him alone! And Mimi brilliantly counters with:

“Fuck that! They belong to ME!”

x’D He just like... under his breath... “she admits that’s how she thinks of us...” hahahaha... I laughed out loud...

It might not be 3D but this is an excellent evolution sequence xD I haven’t said so yet but the animation in this episode was good! Good for the show anyway. It was smoother than usual despite some mechanical-like mouth movements and more than that, it had character and expression!

okay important question everyone: Taichi = Kermit, Mimi = Miss Piggy... discuss??

So Gogmamon has a pretty cool-sounding attack, “Curse Reflection.” I have often complained that the villains we fight and get new evolutions with aren’t that scary, but Gogmamon not only seemed pretty formidable (if not the smart, I mean he does have rocks for a brain), he also had a good story build up. My one disappointment in this episode is that the ending is so fast and Gogmamon so easily dealt with. This would have been a good time to introduce Rosemon (like how last week would have been an appropriate time for HerculesKabuterimon). But in both cases, we’re definitely supposed to take away at least that these guys are almost there... Anyway yeah, I would have liked a tiny bit more meant to the resolution but.

So here’s ANOTHER cool thing! Taichi notices that Gogmamon rejects the diamonds, and realizes they’re the key to defeating him. But he doesn’t just tell that to Mimi. He asks her “Did you see that?” And guess what - she did!

So even though the show couldn’t resist telling us that yes, Taichi would have been able to handle this situation - it doesn’t even let him give Mimi a hint towards victory. She figures it out for herself! The most we can say he does is point out the diamond, but she understands the implication and is able to use it against Gogmamon through her own intellect.

TAICHI DOESN’T MANSPLAIN Y’ALL. HE’S NOT A MANSPLAINER. HALLELUJAH AND PAST THE PEAS!!

Mimi is very influenced by her hardworking, CEO grandpa, Tachikawa Genichiro, who’s taught her things about business and things about values, and it really reads as if she’s the one who will inherit the family business - like she’s the family investment. You know, the role that traditionally only falls to sons. That’s changed with the world, and apparently Tachikawa Genichiro-jiisan is totally on board with his granddaughter being more than just a pretty heiress!

... btw what are they making...

“You’re fired!” Mimi yells as Lillymon takes Gogmamon down x’D kill me I love it

Like last time (and it sure was a long time ago that we saw it ;_;), the aftereffects of Lillymon’s powers is plants start growing everywhere. This is such a cool effect, I don’t get why it’s not used more. Right now I feel like Mimi/Palmon are the best set in the show.

(I did think it was funny when Mimi gives the diamond to Lillymon to use against Gogmamon and Lillymon acts like Mimi’s making this huge sacrifice since she loves diamonds so much. But 1) it wasn’t the only one, and 2) they were spat out by Gogmamo! that’s gross! that’s got to cut into the value! hahah)

The others finally catch up and the day is saved. Golemon is an employee for life now. Awww.

AWWWWWW.

I gushed about all this before so I won’t repeat myself, but yeah, I’m so happy with this episode.

Lol Sora and Taichi have accepted their places in Mimi’s world, in the end. They might have numbers instead of names and their boss might change her mind about things every five seconds, but other than that it’s a pretty nice gig overall.

Again the art, so sweet. This reminded me of Miyako yelling to Mimi about how she wants to be like her when she grows up in 02 so I capped it.

And I absolutely love this little play on words since it’s in English! Wow!

SO CUTE. How did a Mimi episode kick every other episode out of the water? Scratch that, we always knew Mimi was fantastic. A shojo hero for the 21st century.

Well I said a ton and this is really long now so I’m gonna assume you all get my thoughts on this episode. 9.5/10, really awesome, totally unexpected but perfectly suted to Mimi. I’m so so happy this show seems to have figured things out and remebered that it’s supposed to be freaking Digimon Adventure, it seemed like it forgot for a while there. I just hope we haven’t wasted too much time on those more lackluster episodes, I want so many more stories like this one.

Next week looks like another winner:

OK, that concept is hilarious x’D I’m so sorry. But also, leave it to Yamato and Gabumon to get the tragedy episode.

The mood maker will be this guy! I’m totally psyched for Yamato and Jou. Taichi’s been important in the past two episodes even though they were centered on Koushirou and Mimi, so I wonder if/when he’ll be involved this time? Or maybe it really will be just Yamato and Jou - my dream combo?? I can’t wait either way.

DID NOT CHECK FOR TYPOS! See y’all next week.
