#buu shares a thought

[buubonita]

I don't think it goes without saying that I don't like Horror fanon. I mean, not as a standard. I think Horror could be nice in his own fucked up way but it's not something he would openly do to anyone he doesn't know. I'm not a fan of how they ignore the fact that he literally can't eat shit.

How he felt after trying to eat a little girl, who despite everything continued to show him mercy afterwards??? How he knows what he did and doesn't like how others make him out to be a savior that he's not??? The fact that he enjoys psychologically torturing others??I don't remember anyone portraying Horror's mood swings? I mean in art or writing, despite it being one of the primary reasons why he's dangerous.

Or how important Papyrus is for Horror as well?

You can, again, explore aspects of your favorite character without erasing canon or the foundations of the character. But don't take this as an attack on those who like fanon, my friend, consume and create what you like without fear. This is, like all my posts, a personal opinion with which you may or may not agree.

For those who haven't been involved in the Dragon Ball fandom beyond maybe watching a couple episodes of DBZA: The Majin Buu Saga is by far the most controversial arc in DBZ. Some people hate it, some people like it, and they argue a lot. To me, it seems pretty obvious that the saga's reception can be chalked up to two things: The sudden shift in tone and subject matter at the saga's start, and the rapid shifts within the saga.

The conclusion of the Cell Saga was the peak of escalating stakes and tension—an escalation that had started, at the very latest, when Krillin was killed Tambourine nearly 300 chapters earlier. The Great Saiyaman Arc was just a kid going on little adventures, a tone closer to the first arc of Dragon Ball than any other. Going from a multi-hundred-chapter run of stronger enemies posing more serious threats to Gohan trying to hide his superhero identity from his school friends is a massive shift, and some fans were going to get mad about it.

But by the end of the Saiyaman arc, just ten chapters after it started, things are sliding back into that previous rhythm. There's a tournament, Goku and Vegeta are feuding, there's a weird little god and supernaturally-empowered threats of some extraterrestrial foe. And the tone keeps bouncing around. When Buu appears, his comical personality brings the tone back to an action-comedy rhythm; each transformation wildly changes the balance between action and comedy, until Kid Buu settles into being the most escalated threat in the series. So people who liked the Saiyaman stuff didn't get to enjoy that rhythm for long.

If you ask me, there's a great deal of potential in what became the Buu Saga. If Toriyama had kept his original plan, kept Gohan as the hero, kept the stakes low or only slowly escalating them, kept going in the direction that the Saiyaman arc implied, he could have told a story that would cause even worse fandom arguments. (I mean, Buu's defenders pretty much have to acknowledge the saga's flaws, and that's an obvious path for de-escalation if either party is interested.)

Author's note: IM BAXK FROM HIATUS GUYS, I'm so glad I finally finished ts, This was requested by a friend of mine irl and it's my first time writing about this guy, ACTUALLY PROOFREAD FOR ONCE ONG. REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED!!!!Dividers here! Masterlist and Rules here!

You, surprisingly and somehow married your angel, history professor, Castiel. He was sweet yet very strict and firm when it came to your school work. And you were a good student and husband to him. Helping him understand humans more.

As of now, It is the day before the final exams for the semester. He is often strict around these times, helping you study and catch up on any possible lessons you may have missed beforehand.

The both of you are currently in your shared home, you were studying your butt off while Castiel was grading projects. You sighed, putting down your pen to rest your hand from writing and studying the key points of the lessons in math.

You looked up as you took a sip of the coffee he had made for you. He was so ethereal with his brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing those glasses you found so pretty on him too! Gosh, he really was distracting you from studying. Although, he was also your motivation to continue on.

Castiel, sensing somebody looking at him, looked up from the project he had just graded.

His gaze softens for a bit as he sees your tired expression. Eyes bags forming under your eyes from the sleepless nights you were studying your ass off.

"What's the matter, my beloved?" Castiel asked as he gently put down the things he was holding and came to sit next to you.

"It's nothing, Cas.. I'm just a bit tired. And sleepy." You yawned as you tried to take another sip of your coffee but was met with Castiel taking the mug from you. "Then please go sleep, my love. I know you want to pass your exams but it's also important for you to rest." He answered back with a concerned tone in his voice.

You groaned as you finally felt the sleeplessness taking a toll on you. Your head was aching really bad and your eyes felt like closing. You just wanted to lay down.

"...Okay, Wake me up tomorrow morning, Kay? Love you.", "I will, love you too." And with that, you let yourself fall asleep on the desk. He chuckled lightly, seeing your peaceful expression as you slept, small snores coming out of your lips.

He gently picked you up and carried you to your shared bedroom. He tucked you under the bed and kissed your lips before saying, "Good night, my beloved."

The exams passed like a whistling wind and the scores were just announced. You passed your exams and got history as your highest. But your math... Was failed. You only got 30% of it.

Tears slightly welled up in your eyes as you felt frustrated by how "stupid" you were for failing at math. Math was the class you had always tried your hardest and bestest to study but somehow always fail. You thought you were finally passing it this sem.

You returned in the solace of your shared home with your lovely husband. Castiel, knowing how down you were immediately did his best to cheer you up.

Giving you massages, cooking your favorite food and saying such sweet comforting words to you. Buu they were all futile. So he went for his last plan to cheer you up.

He then went up to you and gently embraced you as he kissed your neck.

"Shall we?" He asked, waiting for your permission before continuing any further.

Seeing his attempts to cheer you up made you smile. And he never forget to ask for your consent before doing anything. "Of course."

He immediately closed the lights and carried you to bed. After a while, both of you laid on your bed, breathing heavily.

"You did great, my husband." He kissed your lips then your forehead as he cradled your smaller form in his arms. His hands gently run across your top surgery scars.

"You'll pass it eventually, it may not be right now but I'm sure you'll pass your next math exams. I believe in you, okay?" He kissed your head as he kept you close. "Thank you.." was all you could muster up before tears welled up in your eyes. He was incredibly careful and patient with you.. and you sometimes think he deserves much better than you and yet he never fails to reassure you that you are perfectly flawed.

"Let's get you cleaned up." Castiel spoke, carrying you to the bathroom.

2024/07/10 Blog post by Wakana おしゃべりガーデン第11回目‼️〜とにかくたくさんお喋りしました〜

❗This is Fan Club EXCLUSIVE content❗ ❗PERSONAL USE ONLY❗ ❗Do NOT SHARE on other sites❗ ❗Join her FAN CLUB! Check out my detailed TUTORIAL ❗

Talk Garden Vol.11‼️〜I Talked a Lot〜

Vol 11 of Wakana' Chat's Talk Garden has been uploaded!! ＼(^o^)／This time, I asked you to submit all sorts of questions for me😊I wanted to read as many of your messages as possible so the episode turned out really long…😅💦I know it's probably a hassle to listen to the entire thing but please bear with me, take your time and listen to the podcast whenever you feel like it🤗✨

Here is the "Silk Nightcap" I mentioned in the podcast (looks surreal doesn't it?😂) I think it fits quite well *laughs* The back looks like this. You can tuck away and protect your long hair😆

And here's some info about my summer skin care! I didn't answer the question properly during the podcast so I thought it would be best to show you everything here😂In summer, I tend to prefer skin care products that are a little lighter than the ones I use in winter, but I don't want to change my routine completely.😊All these items are from Korean brands…🤣Aside from chaging the lotion I use for my facial device, the lineup is pretty much the same as in winter. However, since the UV rays are strong during this time of year, I use a lot more cosmetics with whitening agents. I use the same nighttime serums all year round, one with vitamin C, another one with retinol. I use the one with retinol on days when I've been exposed to too much air conditioning, and the one with vitamin C on days when I've been exposed to UV rays. I have various morning serums…not just the ones you see here, there are about four types that I use depending on my mood. One product that's different in summer is my cream, I use the tube in the back on the right side at night. In the morning, I use the tube in the back on the left side as a good base for my makeup. By the way, my tone-up serum is the tube next to my morning cream. I love the brand "Serendi Beauty", but unfortunately, their products have been sold out for a while and I can't buy them anywhere😭It's not featured here but their lotion in particular is seriously the best…!!

I also use face masks in the morning and at night, the same ones I use in winter 😊Here's my starting lineup for facial masks✨Once again, I've increased my stock of whitening products! And of course I also want something that is very moisturising! I aim to feel well hydrated from the inside. That way, even if I do my makeup with a matte finish, my face won't dry out all day 😊💓

Well, since I have some spare time… I'll briefly try to answer a few of the remaining questions! (^^)

Q. Do you mind spoilers? For shows, movies, novels, manga, games, setlists, anything? A. I don't like spoilers for weekly shows that I look forward to watching. I am very fascinated by anything horror-related but I think it's too scare so I can't really watch it. That's why I always read all the spoilers *laughs* Also, I'm such a beginner at games so I watch a lot of walkthrough videos of good players to help me get past difficult parts.

Q. Do you receive all of our letters and presents? A. Yes! I've received all of them, including every single letter😊 Thank you as always…��� Speaking of which, I once received some hair oil which made my hair super smooth and silky so I bought some for myself!! !

Q. Are you okay with heights? A. I'm not that bad at heights but I feel like the glass floor of Tokyo Tower is pretty scary😇 Also, I've never been on one but the Ferris wheel carriages with glass floors look pretty scary too😇

Q. What are some recommended spots in Yokohama? A. The sea and the night view around the Red Brick Warehouse are beautiful!! !

Q. Have you ever had a pet before? A. When I still lived at home with my parents we had a dog🐕 When I started living alone, I had a goldfish🐟 (My little goldfish Buu-chan has passed away and gone to heaven a long time ago (;_;)🐟✨)

Q. Even though my message was read during the last episode, the present hasn't arrived yet. When will it arrive? A. Please forgive me, I'm always so slow at making my postcards for you. I will try my best to have them delivered by the beginning of the next month! I'm sorry for making you all anxious, wondering if the postcard got lost in the mail… 😱 Please wait patiently~ (I'm even more sorry that last month's presents were super late… 💦)

I want to answer even more of your questions but I'm going to stop here before it gets out of hand 😅If you have any other questions, please send them to me~

The next talk theme for the episode on August 10th will be "What kind of pillow do you use?/What is everyone's pillow situation?" Additionally, you can continue to send random questions you'd like to ask me! ＼＼\٩( 'ω' )و //／／The deadline is July 31st!! ! Please send in as many messages as you can!! ! 💌

Well then, everyone! This Saturday I am performing at the summer event “AirTrip presents Everyday’s Omatsuri 2024”! See you at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse~♪＼(^o^)／♪

Until next time~☆( '▽')/

Episode #11 »»—— CLICK ME 🎁 CLICK ME ——«« ・Anything you’d like to ask Wakana/Anything you’d like Wakana to talk about

One fan asked about Wakana's time as a gospel choir member and whether she remembered liking any particular songs or singers. While she doesn't have a lot of memories, she recalls three specific songs => "This Little Light of Mine", "Seasons of Love" and "It's Raining Men". Loved that we got a few snippets of her singing some lines of each song. I honestly wouldn't mind if she released another cover album with all sorts of Western/American music

For next month’s episode which is scheduled to air on August 10th, the following two topics have been chosen:

・ What kind of pillow do you use?/What's your pillow situation? ・Anything you’d like to ask Wakana/Anything you’d like Wakana to talk about

The submission deadline is 07/31.

[hecatia666]

art summary thingy cuz these work for self-feedback! will share my thoughts on each month below, read if you wanna!

The big silly start, where the idea for the mod started, of course i had to shrink her down to fit the sizes but this is what inspired me to do it and to draw Iono the way i do

----------------------------------

This was a commission for a friend that turned out to be amazing! I think this was the first time i experimented with colors this way...

----------------------------------

You could say that Hecatia wearing clothes similar to Iono is the 'brand' i have now, since i like both characters maybe a mix of em fit well?

----------------------------------

April had lots of progress of the Iono mod and comms, but this one is simple yet very funny! just like evil buu except evil and... evil?

----------------------------------

Nikita, her final design and thanks to a dear friend too! I like her so much and the fact that she's a guest character on the stories that the same friend does it's very flattering!

----------------------------------

For Junko and Hecatia day i did each one separately but i felt that it was nice to put em both in a single pic, the super mario 64 level painting lol

----------------------------------

July was peak Uma Musume time for me cuz i was watching the anime and sharing a lot of it with friends and also experimentation with drawings! I drew these two without lineart for some experimentation thingy

----------------------------------

This one was a challenge to make, but damn it was worth it i love how opera looks with the pose, she does fit very well!

----------------------------------

A drawing for a very specific ship on a very specific webcomic on tumblr about very extra incorrect fire emblem gba quotes! The meme was overdue but i enjoyed drawing it nonetheless

----------------------------------

On october i felt it was a while since i drew hecatia, so the choice was to draw her in the alt costume from Puppet Dance Performance!

----------------------------------

This one is just adorable, i tried my best to made it look cute and it did! It's actually an ongoing series of drawings about the Gostiva cast being with their hypotetical pokemon team

----------------------------------

December went with a BLAST! After finishing antonblast i just HAD to draw Iono in the style, that i think i nailed pretty well!

Tho i also have this one as a favorite! I love this Gostivan so much and their team too!

EPISODE 19: BETRAYAL

One more episode after this... Yikes.

We finally get to see who gets betrayed... and it's Arinsu who loses! Turns out Glorio used the wish to grow everyone back up and give multiple VAs their jobs back for the last two episodes. Panzy was still holding Baby Dende when this happens, so he ends up holding him in an unintentional bridal carry.

Look, I'll say it and there's at least one corner of the community that I'll be tussling with- but I've never been a fan of Panzy x Glorio. But, Panzy x Dende (post-wish obviously) and the singular interaction... That's the rarepair territory I'm after.

Goku decides to reinstate the one-on-one rule, which Vegeta quickly takes an advantage of, popping out Super Saiyan 3 and a pretty bangin' Final Flash.

Meanwhile, the consequences of Glorio's actions... Arinsu's obviously upset and even pulls the guilt card, saying she was the one to rescue Glorio from the Third Demon Realm. We get a lore drop this late and you don't elaborate at all?

But, Glorio's developed a new loyalty to the Dragon Gang, so Arinsu fires him. Not in a Frieza way. Just straight up says you don't have the job anymore. I was genuinely fearing for my boy's life for an entire week... and Arinsu's response to his episode-title-worthy betrayal is a slap on the wrist.

They really just skirt past that. Glorio meets back up with the gang, Panzy excited to see him in a very platonic way (I'm firm on this). Goku even gives him the honor of saying his name right- true cinema, I clapped. Either he got a few braincells back or thought he was making a joke by saying his name wrong, only to say it right.

We get the full sense of scale and it seems Glorio is shorter than adult Goku. Finally, a medium-height blorbo in my collection.

AND THE SMILE- AUGHGH MY HEART

Vegeta's not making good headway in his fight because- ex machina- Gomah has healing hacks.

Arinsu puts Kuu's speed to work to fetch her a book on the secret of the Third Eye- there has to be a way to remove it. With his lightning fast page turning fingers, they find the weak spot, which they willingly divulge to our heroes- Arinsu's giving real "I don't care if you win, I just need Gomah to lose" vibes

The secret: hit the back of his head three times like he's some game boss. This feels like a very silly Toriyama-style idea.

Goku devises a plan to be the distraction while Piccolo finds a way to deal out the blows. Unfortunately, Vegeta's still running himself dry and his pride is preventing him from sharing.

Thankfully, Bulma steps in with her secret power: yelling to him that if he doesn't get his head out of his ass and tag out, she'll call off their shared bath times.

And it works instantly. He left the fight faster than he was moving during it.

Goku's gotta stall for Piccolo, so after doing a few stretches, he pulls out Super Saiyan 3 in the best homage way possible. Shows off all the forms, one at a time, just like its introduction in the Buu Saga- all it needed was the "this is to go further beyond!"

However, he takes it one step further and reveals that Neva didn't grant the new form, but rather he unlocked it for Goku, as he's still able to pull the transformation out of his ass pocket. Guess that means it doesn't connect to Super after all (checkmate, atheists) Still has the giant gorilla hands and it feels even more like a recolor. Worst part is the episode ends before we can even name it. I suppose it's going to be Super Saiyan 4,

Obviously, the final fight isn't going to take the whole next episode, so it seems like the fusion bugs will go unused.

Can I admit something? Late-game Daima is starting to frustrate me. There are so many concepts left on the cutting room floor and events that simply get a slap on the wrist or an ex-machina. How is it that I'm happy that we're achieving things while still being pissed off at the same time?

Is this show getting on my nerves? Yes. Am I going to see this show through to the end? Still yes. Don't worry.

(long post up ahead)

Alright, it’s close to bed time, so imma share my most recent fanfic idea that’s eating at my head. Will I ever get to write it? Not any time soon - but I’d like to someday.

But anyway, for a little context first. When I was in high school, before Dragon Ball became my hyperfixation, I was obsessed with Danganronpa. It was a murder mystery game/anime where sixteen students were trapped in a high school setting, and the only way they could leave is if they murdered each other. But not just do the murder - they had to get away with it too. The other “classmates” needed to investigate the crime scene, do a “class trial”, and vote who was the culprit. If they voted correctly, only the culprit would be executed - brutally. If they guessed incorrectly….then *they* were executed, and the culprit goes free.

With me so far? Good. Now for the actually fanfic idea.

The story would be sixteen villains of the DB universe would wake up in an unknown location - maybe a type of prison or something, I have yet to decide. And these villains would be banished at that location as punishment for their crimes. Their only chance at escape? You guessed it - kill one of their own and get away with it.

Along their torturous “journey”, friendships will form, enemies will be forced to work together, and of course plenty of super tragic, tear jerking deaths (seriously, there are SO many deaths in Danganronpa that’ll make you wanna cry). It’d be a way to bring some redemption to these villains, and develop their characters better.

I’ve done a similar fanfic before in high school, except all the “classmates” were different characters from a variety of anime. I even added illustrations, which was easier since it was on Wattpad.

But yeah, that’s my idea. I don’t know what I’d call this yet. And I’d need a big cast of characters too - sixteen to be exact. Trust me, it helps pace the story (characters die quickly). So far I have the obvious choices: Frieza, Frost, Zamasu, Cell, Cooler, Baby Vegeta, probably Kid Buu. I’m also open to other characters like Janemba and Z Broly. I’m not including ex-villains, like Vegeta, since they’ve already redeemed themselves. Degusu is a possibility, but I don’t know enough about him yet. Hit could be possible, although he’s more of an anti-hero, not a villain. And I’d prefer not to add any OCs in this story. Just cause it’ll be easier that way.

And every Danganronpa story has a main protagonist - the one leads investigations, and usually guides everything smoothly. Frieza could be an “obvious” choice. But I also wonder if I should add *one* OC as an insert protagonist instead - specifically, my sona, Icee.

Anyway, that’s my silly fanfic idea. Tell me your thoughts on it. Who knows, maybe I’ll start on some outlining on it if enough people are interested.

Goodnight!

[buubonita]

The fact that Nightmare speaks Spanish is funny to me because he definitely curses in Spanish and the rest don't understand him (or maybe they do but they don't comment on it)

And because I want to imagine the twins arguing in Spanish and the rest have to try to understand what's going on.

[gokubrain]

are you aware of the hit vegeta image song ‘love is like a ballad’ from the fusion reborn soundtrack where it’s essentially a kakavege love song 😭😭

https://www.animelyrics.com/anime/dbz/ainobaraado.htm

and i’m 99.9% sure it’s about goku too because it uses the word ‘yatsu’ which is only used by men to refer to other men in a derogatory way… it drives me so insane

OH YOU ALREADY KNOWWWW IM WELL AWARE OF THIS LMFAO thank u for giving me the chance to talk about it HAHA

under here cuz its kind of a lot:

lets break down the lyrics shall we ..

right off the fucking bat. starting off STRONG. for vegeta to even have the thought “on this small earth life must be protected to the end” is such a good line but pairing it with “but whenever i look at you i feel like a fool” CRAAZYYYYY. insane. protecting the earth is a huge part of all the earthlings’ characters, and without goku, vegeta wouldnt have those feelings. to talk about protecting earth in one line and then immediately talk about goku next is wildddd. “i want to protect the earth, you taught me the importance of that, and yet when i look at you im reminded that it’s because of YOU that i hold these feelings about this planet.” like okAAAY alright okay!!

“why do i treat you so harshly? why do i hurt you that way? yet still fight against great evils” GRAAAHHHH this is insane right LMAO

vegeta displaying confusion as to why he treats goku the way he does when they share the same goal.. when they fight the same battles.. this self aware-ness is literally what early-stage kakavege IS dude. vegeta feeling conflicted about his actions vs his emotions is the first step to realizing he’s in love with goku.. haha. lol

“for the sake of love […] i would even throw away my rank” VEGETAAA. WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUTTTTT LMFAO….

vegeta suggesting he would disown his own ranking, his pride, something very near and dear to him.. this is also early kakavege core LMAO i mean come on. thats just an insane fucking thing for him to say. unreal.

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER….!!!

“IN TRUTH, THIS POWER IS NOTHING. ALL I KNOW IS YOU.” VEGETA……..!!!!!!!!

ALL I KNOW IS YOU? ALL I KNOW IS YOU???

“although i pretend to be a steel wall […] all i know is you” is just. i mean. EXPLICITLY kakavege. this is kakavege poetry. this is vegeta’s struggle perfectly put into lyric form. i cant believe this fucking song exists lmfao

NOW. NOW..

“the smile you give me is always warm” is wild when thinking about how the entire fusion reborn movie consists of 45 minutes of goku smiling lovingly at vegeta LMAO DONT EVEN THINK VEGETA DIDNT NOTICE. !!

“here i am, offering myself completely if we can be together”

AINT THAT JUST THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOLKS. DONT THAT JUST BEAT ALL LMFAO. ANYONE ELSE FEEL SUPER NORMAL RN?

offering myself completely. giving my all to you. devoting myself to you. THIS IS ONE OF THE FUCKING BUILDING BLOCKS OF KAKAVEGE DUDE. THIS IS ONE OF THE RUNNING THEMES, A KAKAVEGE LEITMOTIF. THIS IS SO VEGETA. I WANNA DIE LMFAO

“if we can be together” …. i mean. what even is there to say about that. how much more explicit can he be here. this is the most straightforward thing vegeta will ever say in terms of kakavege lmao this is it folks. this is IT !!!

its just unreal right. that a song like this even exists.. i mean its so obviously about goku, talking about training together and vegeta being mean to him and protecting earth together and throwing away his rank….. if you think even for one second that this is about bulma you are BLIND. like lets all be serious a moment lmao

and i love that this is related to fusion reborn of all things. that movie is the fucking kakavege bible dude i SWEAR. this whole song makes so much sense if you see fusion reborn as a love story, it all fits so perfectly with how vegeta would theoretically be feeling during the (vaguely referenced) place in the timeline that this movie takes place. this is buu arc shit baby its the point of no return for vegeta its the beginning of the end.. he is realizing his feelings for goku.. i live for this shit man seriously this is what i thrive on

also the goddamn song is called “love is like a ballad” i mean what else can even be said lmfao ..!

[secretsofdbz]

I was lucky enough to be able to grab PPICCO (DBTG_Hope) to represent a scene of Android 17 (main timeline) being his playful unbothered self and sharing a smoke with Future Trunks (my fem!Trunks, who uses "Tora" as a nickname as to let main timeline Trunks keep his name and identity).

This is part of my current fic arc, the Purpose Arc, which covers the Saiyaman arc and Buu arc (with some Tapion stuff and some Heroes content... hehehe). It's specifically the party at Videl's house, with Gohan, Erasa, Sharpner and a few others having some random games and character bonding outside of ~school~

Their relation is on the weird "we know more about the other than we should and we respect our respective traumas all while appreciating the other's presence" side of things. It's not a full blown ship (even if 17 insists he's been "waiting for Tora to come back home, wearing nothing but his apron"), but it might be a solid raft lol!

Anyway, TruSev nation grab some half-baked food ^_^

I'm having a little of a motivation slump so if you could read any chapter and give it your thoughts, I'd be so so so happy!

Honeymoon Knight / Chapter 3 - The Ideal Honeymoon

Prev | All | Next

~ A little while later ~

And then, while sharing memories, we went sightseeing in the city of Velis.

Muu: "Nevertheless... even though it's not summer yet, there are a lot of people in the city."

Lucas: "In June, Velis is not as scorching as midsummer, so it's comfortable. And it's popular as a honeymoon destination.”

> "Oh~ really?"

Muu: "Certainly, now that you mention it... there seem to be many close-knit couples."

Lamli: "Everyone must be on their honeymoon."

Nac: "Everyone seems very happy. I hope they have a great honeymoon."

Muu: "Honeymoon, huh..."

Lamli: "Hm? What's the matter, Buu? You seem lost in thought."

Muu: "Honeymoon… What do people do on their honeymoons?"

Nac: "Right, Muu didn't even know what a honeymoon was."

Muu: "Ah! I came up with a good idea!  I want to ask everyone what kind of honeymoon they would like!"

> “Th-that’s so sudden” > "It feels like we had a similar conversation last year..."

Muu: "Last year, I had fun hearing everyone's views on marriage!  So, I'm really curious about where everyone would like to travel!"

Lamli: "Buu, you… you sometimes say pretty amazing things."

Nac: "I see…  my own honeymoon… To be honest, I've never even imagined it."

> “But, I guess I'm interested to know” > "I'm curious about your ideal honeymoon..."

Nac: "Oh well? Is that so…! Fortunately, this Nac... is good at imagining.  I'll think of the best honeymoon!"

Lamli: "I'll think about it too! My lord!"

> "Thank you, Lamli"

Lucas: "Fufu... sounds fun, doesn't it? ♪ But still… It's a bit difficult to decide on a travel destination right away… So, how about we go with this theme, ‘If you were to go on a honeymoon in Velis, how would you do it?’ "

> “Sounds interesting!” > "That makes sense, sure"

Nac: "I see… An ideal honeymoon in a beautiful resort place, huh…"

Lamli: "Nothing less from you, Master Lucas! I'm already having fun just by thinking about it!"

Muu: "Fufu, It sounds like we'll hear interesting stories!  Well then, as the first one… may we hear from Mr. Lucas?"

Lucas: "Oh? From me?"

> "Lucas, tell us your story"

Lucas: "Alright. Let's see… If I were to come on a honeymoon to Velis… I would like to spend a leisurely time gazing at the stars with my partner. 

The starry sky visible from here is more beautiful than anything else, but if you visit it with someone precious, and after tying the knot with them... It would feel even more beautiful.

Underneath a sky full of stars… Next to the person you love the most… It'll truly feel like a honeymoon–a very enjoyable moment, don't you think so too, my lord?"

> "Certainly, it sounds wonderful"

Lucas: "And there… I would like to have a simple talk while drinking wine. Things that made me happy recently... stories of past failures... I want to talk about trivial things…

Leisurely, talking about whatever… I want to have an indulgent time.

Because I can do that with someone I trust.  Well, so, my ideal honeymoon is something like this."

> "It was very nice"

Lucas: "Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it, my lord.  Well then, next... let's hear from Lamli."

Lamli: "Huh? Me?"

> "Tell us, Lamli"

Lamli: "Yes, of course! Let's see… If I were to come on a honeymoon to Velis… I would like to play in the sea with my partner!

I'm not good with sunlight, so playing for a long time might be difficult… But... I want to see many beautiful things together, like beautiful fish and coral!

And, I can see the face of my beloved person clearly under the sun…But, when it gets dark… As you would expect, I want to talk about various things with them while gazing at the starry sky.

Things like our future together... I want my partner to talk honestly about how they want to live. I want to help make my partner's dream come true...

Oops…! Sorry! The chat kinda got off track from the whole honeymoon thing."

> "I think it's wonderful, Lamli"

Lamli: "Ehehe. Thank you very much! If I could go on such a wonderful trip with my lord… I would be so happy…"

> "With me?"

Lamli: "N-nothing!"

Muu: "Alright, finally… Mr. Nac, please go ahead!"

Nac: “My ideal honeymoon in Velis... Well, I'm not into crowded places... I'd love to stroll by the sea in the morning with my partner.  Just the two of us on a quiet, deserted beach. And, with the beautiful sea as the background, I want to engrave the image of my beloved person into my eyes."

> "That sounds wonderful."

Nac: "Thank you very much.  And… In the dim light before sunrise… The scars on my body won't stand out, even if I'm lightly dressed."

> "That's..." > “I see…”

Nac: “It's a bit embarrassing when my scars are clearly visible in bright light…”

> “Isn't it okay not to worry too much?”

Nac: “M-my Lord?”

> “Personally I don't mind, at least”

Nac: “Th-thank you. Fufu... Is that so? In that case... Let's definitely walk under the bright sunshine together, my lord!”

Lamli: “Hey Nac... When did it turn into something like a honeymoon trip with the lord?”

Nac: “Oops...! I apologize for that.”

Lucas: “Fufu... It was wonderful, Nac. Even though this honeymoon is all just a fantasy... I'm sure your partner will be someone who accepts everything about you, Nac.”

Nac: “Mr. Lucas…”

Lamli: “You don't need to worry so much about your scars, you know? Whether you have them or not, Nac being annoying won't change.”

Nac: “Even Lamli... ...Lamli.  ...Just for now, let me say thank you.”

Lamli: “Huh... You're being so honest, it kinda creeps me out…”

Nac: “Ugh... I was expressing gratitude, why is that how you interpreted it...!”

Lucas: “Now, now, you two…”

Muu: “Hmm… In the end, it turned into a fight, huh…?”

> “Yeah, seems like it”

Is Buggy going to be King of the Pirates? My personal theory

I’ve noticed a parallel in One Piece that’s really starting to scare me. This parallel is between One Piece and Dragon Ball, specifically between two characters from these series whose similarities are not only increasing visibly but are becoming so evident that my theory is starting to feel more like a certainty (though I still hope it doesn’t happen).

The characters in question are Buggy the Clown and Mr. Satan.

The truth is, I’m at least 80% sure that many, many others like me have started to fear but especially notice some… interesting details between these two characters. Here are the ones that seem most evident to me:

Both characters, despite seeming unlikely, have remained in the story for many chapters after their initial appearance, and their presence has only strengthened over time.

Both are notoriously weaker than the main protagonists of the manga.

Despite their weakness, these characters have managed to gather a large and extremely loyal following that believes them to be superior and much stronger than they actually are.

Both characters are allies/acquaintances of other extremely strong and feared characters in the manga. In Buggy’s case, we’re talking about Shanks; in Mr. Satan’s case, we’re talking about Majin Buu.

Both characters, despite being deceitful, cowardly, and opportunistic, have a very high desire for power and notoriety, unlike the protagonists of the manga who essentially want to live life freely and as they please (Luffy and Goku. Need I say more?).

The parallels (I might have forgotten some) are these for now. And I say for now because there’s essentially one more missing for these two characters to have an almost identical narrative path, and that’s what scares me the most.

For those who don’t know, Mr. Satan, at the end of the Majin Buu Saga, is the real and only reason Goku manages to defeat his enemy. If it hadn’t been for Mr. Satan’s voice urging the people of Earth to raise their hands and donate their energy, the Spirit Bomb would never have been powerful enough to defeat the pink enemy. The most incredible thing is that not only was Mr. Satan actually indispensable, but despite the fight and the enormous effort, only Mr. Satan was recognized as the true and only hero of the world. The one who defeated evil and gained glory, fame, and power. A real blow for the readers, not so much for Goku, who couldn’t care less about something as vague as fame and power. (Can you eat them?).

Maybe you’re starting to connect the dots…

I know, it’s scary, isn’t it? Even just writing it feels like doing something horrible… what if Buggy, in the end, becomes the Pirate King? It’s a bold thought, yet I can’t get this possibility out of my head. Maybe I’m overthinking it, maybe when I saw Buggy shouting with all his might:

“I want to become the Pirate King!!” I should have laughed it off and turned off my brain instead of analyzing everything as usual. But Oda-san has spoiled us. He has taught us not to ignore anything, to listen to every word, to note every sound. Especially to doubt and ask questions. Why is Buggy still such an important character? Why tie him to a key character like Shanks? And not just Shanks, even Roger himself? Why show how loved and respected he is by his followers? Don't let me begin with the Cross Guild.

What really scares me is that we know our protagonists very well. Precisely because we know Goku, no one was ever really shocked when Mr. Satan took the glory. Goku likes to fight. Nothing more, nothing less. That’s what he does, that’s what he is.

Luffy, as we know, is an eternal child. Always ready to be amazed by new things, to ignore everyone, to pick his nose, and to stop listening when something bores him to death.

“Hero? No! We’re pirates! I love heroes but I don’t wanna be one! Do you know what heroes are? Say there is a chunk of meat. Pirates will have a banquet and eat it but heroes share it with other people. I want all the meat!”

Be honest, if the title of Pirate King turned out to be something more complicated and burdensome, something that requires responsibility and… stability, how long do you think it would take Luffy to look around and say: “Uhhh… you do it, I’m outta here, bye!” Luffy doesn’t want to be the Pirate King to be a king, but just like a child would say: “I want to be King so I can do whatever I want.”

NOTE: I’m not saying that Luffy won’t get the One Piece, I’m not saying that Luffy won’t complete his journey and actually become a great, powerful pirate. What I’m saying is that he will very simply give up the title of King. Becose becoming the King was only the beginning of the dream, the end we still don't know what it is. Is Luffy who said it to his crew. A detail that, coincidentally, Oda-san decided to throw in casually as if it were nothing. Perhaps to prepare us not to be too disappointed when we discover that becoming King for Luffy is nothing more than a means, and not the end, of his true dream. Whatever that may be.

In that case, I believe that just like Mr. Satan, Buggy would be elevated and chosen not for his strength, not for his character, but primarily for the (false) fame he has created and a genuine and strong desire for actual power. And also a huge, huge, HUGE dose of luck. He’ll probably be in the right place at the right time. Or, just like Mr. Satan, at the last moment, he’ll do something trivial but honorable, and this will change the outcome of the big event.

Remember how the crew ran away from Skypiea with the inhabitants chasing after them? The crew thought they were being chased to be attacked, when in reality, the inhabitants just wanted to thank them (I’ve always had the feeling that the crew actually knew this but decided to leave like true pirates, escaping with the loot). I believe it will essentially go the same way with Buggy and the title of Pirate King. Luffy’s allies will probably start insisting that he take command, that he become their leader, that he hold this power. But Luffy will respond like a true pirate and run off with the One Piece, giving that other useless title to Buggy. Reign? Power? Nah.

That stuff, you know, is for heroes. Complicated stuff, boring stuff.

Much better to train and find a strong fighter to challenge. Or even better, to be a pirate and be free forever.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 131 'Early' Analysis.

Bit later than usual with this one cause- I didn't feel like writing it earlier- Feels like a cheep excuse but whatever.

It's really interesting seeing the contrast between the two confirmed Primordials. Darkness doesn't speak a language we can understand but it still speaks. It seemed like a hyper intelligent beast which acted on a type of intelligent impulse almost like majin buu. Who I could make an entire post talking about the intelligence and mentality of because of how people misunderstand him. But I'll not do that for now since this is about Chainsaw Man. However Falling completely juxtaposes Darkness because she's basically it's polar opposite. Not fear wise but personality and the way she conducts herself. This panel is the one that really cemented it in my mind because this is her showing the ability to reason. It's weird- She's weird right? She's brutal but not cruel. She's willing to let her previous rule slide because the situation has changed. She doesn't immediately kill the devil (WHO'S NAME WE NEVER LEARN GOD DAMN IT FUJIMOTO) because it didn't finish it's meal. Also their designs which I feel I've pointed out before but I don't wanna look back for if I did or if it was in a specific post.

They're completely different but they share motifs between eachother. I'll go through some of those cause I didn't actually put them together until I was writing this so I feel it's an observation that you guys also might want to hear. 1. They both have several extra arms. 2. They both have dismembered heads as apart of their body. 3. Their arms are double jointed. (Shown Below)

I feel these are going to be reoccurring themes throughout most (maybe even all) of the primordial devils we see. Additionally this isn't a full on pattern but it seems like a Primordial appears roughly every 60 chapters. Darkness first appeared in 65, Falling first appeared in 122 (Full appearance in 123). Back to the chapter itself.

I find it interesting that Falling begins to bleed more profusely when she gets upset. Based on what I've previously said and what we saw at the end of the chapter it's possible her degree over this overworld vessel lessens and thus it's bleeding begins to worsen when she grows upset. Like it requires a degree of concentration to keep together. Which I think is interesting but will likely not be the key to winning any singular fight. Falling nukes the UNNAMED DEVIL and we get the weirdest scene in awhile.

This scene answers 1 question. Yet it raises several more. So let's lightning round it. 1. Why did falling take orders from Famine? 2. Why did her vessel turn into a weird shrunken doll? 3. Uh- Actually no thats- Thats it. Huh. So less questions than I thought and more like just one question. Huh. well key things. I think this is what Falling's truest hell form (Like Darkness) looks like.

It would fit more with the primordial sort of warped appearance we've seen before. It's also the form she appeared in 122 and the beginning of 123 as. So I feel pretty confident in that assumption.

The silly girl is back.

Fucking smugass dickhead smirk she's so fucking good

So this is- Weird right? Nayuta definitely has the ability to identify other Horsemen since she was able to sniff out Famine instantly. So she must know about Asa and Yoru in some vague sense. I guess having that confirmation also sorta shifts that end of chapter reveal. Yeah remember "Thief." it probably wasn't just about Denji having a girlfriend but Nayuta not wanting another Horseman to steal Denji from her. Also it's interesting that aside from War (Maybe), All the horsemen we've seen up until this point have been somewhat benevolent. Ah- Maybe not- Okay lemme rephrase. They've been on the side of humanity. Makima despite being- Makima, She was still trying to aid humanity in her own twisted way. Now Famine is trying to save humanity from the apocalypse in her own twisted way. It's possible that Yoru wants nuclear weapons so she can save humanity from destruction- In her own twisted way. And lemme also make this prediction now. The final horseman will also be trying to save humanity in their own twisted way. (I'm still not making a claim on what the final horseman could be I've elaborated on it in the past if you're a true fan of these you'll know the basic gist Tl;Dr there have been several 4th horsemen in history depending on the source).

This was pretty funny honestly. Nayuta's arm is drawn sorta weird which is abit distracting cause it's the only thing I can stare at now that I've seen it. It doesn't really detract and it's a weekly manga so I can't really complain that much either. Also that girl in the back the one with white hair reminds me of Snake Girl from part 1.

No shot they're actually related in anyway tho- This chapter actually only has low quality faces in the final school drawing so no need to compile them this week. So instead Nayuta silly compilation.

She really is just Power if she wasn't Racist. Okay- Listen- We don't have confirmation that Nayuta isn't racist. But she would have to pick that up herself since I doubt Denji would teach her to be racist because Denji isn't racist.

[majinbangus]

hello! i just wanted to ask, if you’re comfortable sharing, where your username comes from?

ily your writing btw :)

hello lovely nonnie <3 and i dont mind sharing lol

majin is partly inspired by dragon ball's majin buu

and bangus = milkfish, hence the '🥛🐟' emojis

i chose it bc i was going through my db phase (again) when i made this account and i liked the meaning of majin, which i believe is 'demon' or 'magic person' (something along those lines, correct me if im wrong, im going by the db wiki) and i thought it was fitting to call bangus 'demon' bc of an incident that happened a little earlier in the year

so that's how i came up with majinbangus (or demon milkfish as i like to think of it as :))

[upgradewater]

daima time-ah

blabbering about ep 1!

spoilers obv

btw I blabbered a lot on twxtter about it a lot, so I'm likely gonna repeat myself here.

First of all.

NEW DRAGON BALL SET

NEW STINKY OP NAMEKIAN GRANDPA HACKING EARTH'S DBS LIKE IT'S NOTHING

DESIGNATED DB GUARDIANS NO ONE DARES TO FUCK WITH

NAMEKIANS "OTHER WORLD" ORIGIN LORE DROP FROM THE SUPER MANGA HAD PAYOFF IN LINKING BACK TO THEM BEING FROM THE DEMON REALM, ALONG WITH THE LINK BETWEEN "DEMON KING" PICCOLO AAAAA

was this made for me??? this feels specifically made for me.

And then there's also:

White vs black magic, specifically talking about wishes and what Shenlong won't do

The new DB set is known as Porunga, so I'm really looking forward to the design!!! Porunga OG, the prequel!

Shenlong being hesitant and oddly specific about the age wish and what to do with ones who are already kids, but then deciding for himself who the wish effects. (You could say Chichi stood up to Buu, but 18? Bulma? You could really include everyone who contributed to the genkidama lol)

DEGESU AND GOMAH BEING SILLY and Degesu being related to Shin! And Arinsu is also their sister?!?

That's Kaioshin, Namekian, and DB lore lovers all being fed a feast in this one episode. Upcoming Majin lore with Pansy, I suppose too.

Arinsu potentially could be the first main Big Bad Lady???? And she's pulling the strings from the start???? Amazing.

I think the fact that there is already THIS much (even though it was a slightly longer premiere episode) to talk about just in story and new lore is... Just wow. Who would have thought when Super was at its end that we would be here a few years later with not only story content, but animation QUALITY. Soundtrack quality as well.

I'm so happy to be around for this period of DB. It's so fun. And bittersweet with the timing of Toriyama's sudden (?) death. But so magical.

I don't think I shared this sketch here? Here's my guess at a Super Porunga of sorts.

As a side note, here are some things I guessed correctly from the trailers:

Neva hacking the DBs via auto-summoning

New DB set/new Namekian grandpa (though I thought it might be Zalama) based on the spell in one of the later trailers. (Does this mean the dragon's name is part of the spell? Dorusie? Dorushiē? We'll see. He does say it twice though.)

Other stuff that remains to be seen:

What Arinsu's goals are

What wish does Degesu want? (Surely this will be a silly gag)

What will the other 2 wishes actually be used for?

What the fuck is that Eye item Gomah mentioned? Tenshinhan relevant???

Will they try to go to Namek first, but they'll all be affected too? Please show me tiny Porunga.

Alternatively, it would be funny if Gomah and Degesu hopped along to Namek to summon Porunga for more wishes, and Neva could probably push past the password part. Hence why our main team have no choice but to head to the Demon Realm. The first part likely won't happen as long as they don't find out about the planet though.

Gohan. I have seen discussion about him coming in clutch and having his powers as he's there only one that was in pretty good fighting shape at age 6/7. Please show our boy and tiny Videl.

Okay I'm gonna have to turn my brain off now. But anyway EP 1 stopped at such a great point. I'm so in love with this production and love how positive it has been received. We're so back. I can't wait for Friday.

Is that... IS THAT A FREEZA RACE MEMBER IN THE BUU SAGA!? 🤯

Turns out that Freeza knowing about Majin Buu in Resurrection F wasn't as random as we thought. There's actually a connection between Freeza's people and Majin Buu in the original manga.

Dragon Ball chapter 445 shows what appears to be a deceased Freeza race member when the Supreme Kai is talking about the planets that were once devastated by Majin Buu thousands of years ago.

Then, in Resurrection F (the movie and the saga) Freeza has knowledge of Majin Buu.

Perhaps, the stories of Majin Buu's terror were passed down from generation to generation and this is how King Cold & then Freeza knew of Majin Buu. 🤔

So, it appears that Toriyama used this manga only scene of a Freeza Race member who was slain by Majin Buu as retroactive connective tissue in order to explain why Freeza knew of Majin Buu in the Resurrection F story.

Just something I noticed. I haven't heard anyone point this out yet, so I thought I should share this with y'all.

EXTRA THOUGHTS:

For some reason, in DBZ EP 219, the anime inserts a scene with planets blowing up instead of a scene of a deceased Freeza Race member.

This is the overlooked third Freeza race member shown in the main series. Freeza, King Cold, and then this unnamed ancient member of the Freeza race.

I dont take issue with Freeza and King Cold having knowledge of Majin Buu & Lord Beerus. The Galactic Patrol had knowledge of both, so it makes sense for the Cold/Freeza Empire to know as well. Aliens who had contact with Buu or Beerus would know of them too and spread legends about them. Furthermore, only certain groups of those aliens would know how truthful those legends in fact were.

I theorize that Freeza's race likely hail from a part of the universe far far away from Earth. Since the Tortoise is the Celestial Emblem of the North cosmic direction, and the North Galaxy of Dragon Ball is home of the Turtle School... I THEORIZE that Emperor Freeza's people might have hailed from South Galaxy. This theory of mine is due to the Celestial Emblem's Red Bird of the South cosmic direction is associated with Imperial power, knowledge, & is often depicted to be at odds with the Dragon (ect, ect). But, this is simply speculation on my part. Maybe we will find out one day.
