Second-Born Saiyan Hybrids Have Lazy Designs

I love how Toriyama gave Gohan and Trunks qualities from both their parents.

Gohan is a bit tricky because his parents have similar colouring. He mostly resembles Goku but there is something about his face (maybe the chin?) that he gets from his mom that prevents him from looking like a Goku copy. Also, I find it interesting that during the Namek arc, when he has that bowl cut, his hair resembles his mom's! He also tends to have paler skin like his mom. And we can safely say that Gohan gets his rage boost tendency from her too. I will never stop saying this: Gohan is the best Saiyan hybrid. I will not take criticism.

Trunks is also an awesome mix of both his parents. He has Vegeta's skin tone and facial features but the Briefs family colouring. Future Trunks seems to have inherited the family smarts given he was able to read 17's design plans in Dr. Gero's lab. And Kid Trunks has Vegeta's cockiness in spades and teenage Bulma's too-cool-for-school attitude. Too bad my boy Future Trunks did not get a tail :(

But their siblings are just boring carbon copies of one parent.

Goten is a mini-Goku. He has Goku's simple nature, his naivete, and his innocence. He looks almost exactly like Kid Goku. I don't mind that but I see no traces of Chi Chi in him. Given that Chi Chi was the only parent he knew, I would expect at least something from her to rub off on him. I am struggling to see any resemblance with Kid Chi Chi but my mind is drawing a blank. I wish his character could have been explored more in GT besides being a guy who likes dating. Maybe explore his daddy issues or something.

And Bulla/Bra is honestly a waste of space character like Marron. She is a mini-Bulma with none of the charm and genius to go with her. She's a spoilt daddy's princess who loves shopping and that's it. She looks to have Vegeta's jawline(???) but I don't see anything of Vegeta in her. She could be Yamcha's daughter for how little of a Saiyan hybrid she is. I hate all the DB next-gen girls!!! Especially Bulla! At least Marron has the excuse of being the fully human daughter of a guy who lost battle relevance by the Cell saga. And Pan left her safety bubble to be useful against threats and she had a great fighter spirit. Why the hell is Bulla even here in the story!

It's like Toriyama could not be bothered to make the second-born kids their own character and give them interesting designs and personalities like their siblings. Goten deserved better writing. Bulla can die for all I care.

y do you ship them they are like 12 years apart in age your writing is good but I just cant w/ the age gap

Okay, typically I don’t engage with Asks like this, I typically mind my own business, enjoy my content, doodle, write fic and that is usually that. I don’t hound people who ship my notps because I recognize how upsetting and annoying it is. but ya know what? You caught me when I was hangry. So here we are.

So, for those who don’t know, I ship/write/draw the DB pairing Broten (Bulla/Bra x Son Goten).

I’ve thought they would make a cute pairing since I was a teenager, for multiple reasons.

They’re both wildly underestimated and under-appreciated by canon and the fandom despite both having insane potential. They both have older siblings that I can imagine have made them feel somewhat overshadowed at one time or another. They’re both half-Saiyan. Now I’m sure a lot of people shrug that off as no big deal, but honestly think of the problems that keeping something like that a secret presents when one is looking for a significant other? They don’t have to hide that side of themselves from each-other. They can be 💯 themselves from the get-go. The fact that their Dads are rivals, (I’m sure Truten shippers can feel me on that one). Goten is Bulla’s brother’s best friend, and that is a trope that I personally live for, I’m sure a lot of people can relate to harboring a little crush for their brother/sister’s hot friend at one time or another. And really, who doesn’t love a Sassy Princess and an Adorable Cinnamon Roll? And you can’t tell me that they don’t look fucking adorable together, they do, it’s a fact.

Okay, now that I’ve covered a good chunk of why I ship them.

The Age Gap.

It seems to be the only argument antis really have.

Here’s the deal, no one is shipping Bulla and Goten when she is 9 and he is 22.

You say, my “writing is good” so I’m going to go out on a limb and assume you’ve read my fics, which leads me to believe you were hanging out in our tag, which is weird since you find the ship so squicky but I digress.

🕰T I M E S K I P S🕰

I use them, frequently.

In most of my works Bulla is anywhere between 18 -23. She is not a minor in any content I’ve created. Not a one, and that’s a verifiable fact dear.

Furthermore there are plenty of couples with age gaps that are perfectly happy healthy relationships.

To name a few,

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds

George & Amal Clooney

Emilie Livingston & Jeff Goldblum

Gene Wilder & Gilda Radner

I could go on, it’s more common than you think, I assure you, not everyone ends up with someone from their graduating class.

The main concern most people have with age gaps is the imbalance in the power dynamic between the two parties. Bulla is the daughter of Bulma Briefs and Prince Vegeta, now we don’t have too much to go on as far as her personality is concerned from canon material, but if you honestly think that Bulla Briefs would be the one to take any shit or manipulation from anyone we really don’t have anything to talk about because clearly we aren’t following the same show/manga. And Goten doesn’t have a manipulative bone in his body, if anything he would be wrapped around her finger, not the other way around.
