#dbz talk

[nebuvoid]

I completely forgot how the german dub of classic Dragonball Z is basically like an abridged series, it's absurd. They really had so much more freedom with dubbing back in the 90s, it added so much without ignoring the plot. I get why they can't do it anymore but it saddens me how kids don't get to develop their humor with dubs like this anymore, most shows are stiff and boring as hell now.

honestly i wish the only way for magical girls to get respect wasn't for them to be as close to shonen as possible.

"unlike other magical girls, precure has hand to hand combat! its dbz for girls!"

"i know princess tutu's name is stupid but its actually not girly at all!"

"sailor moon isn't ACTUALLY for little girls because [insert scene of characters suffering or creepy stuff from the manga here]"

"madoka is better than other magical girls because its DARK"

like do magical girls really needs to be dbz but girly to be worthy of respect? can't they just be... magical girl shows? a show can be unapologetically girly and aimed at girls and still be worth checking out. yes, princess tutu is girly. yes, sailor moon is girly. yes, precure is girly. yes, madoka, despite being a seinen and darker, ultimately upholds the messages of the genre. and they're all awesome and deserve respect on their own merits, not as a comparison to popular shonen shows.

Ok, but I love the fact that a Namekians antennae can get all droopy when they feel humiliated, defeated and so forth. Like just the fact their antennae are able to express emotions is something we should see more often.

bc i feel like you can’t repeatedly be thrown into life or death situations and NOT be traumatized

thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated

the difference in their reactions to each other 😭

Gohan being the first one to step between Vegeta and Certain Death, twice, without an ounce of hesitation, and Vegeta saving him back despite his feelings about battle intervention.

Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them

Vegeta and Gohan both born prodigies assigned an unfair amount of responsibility to be Great and be a Saiyan Messiah(tm) way too young by a stubborn and proud if not (relatively) well-meaning father who didn't see any other option and I just think Gohan doesn't get enough credit as like. The first serious muscle behind Geets' personal growth.

Quick sketch after @serenityhime1 picked “draw something that makes you happy” in my ask game. I don’t usually draw Vegebul in a realistic way but I had fun doing this. It might be the beginning of a new drawing phase 🤔

As a character one of Piccolo's strongest values is and has always been family despite that never being addressed explicitly. His desire for a family, a place to belong, drives him even before he realizes he wants it. He grew up isolated from others with only the memory of his father urging him toward destruction, and despite being noncanon the filler bits of OGDB depicting his childhood only emphasize this (seriously though I could write an essay about the episode where he finds the family having a birthday party. I dont care if it's "noncanon" it's fucking heartbreaking). I think this is best illustrated by the contrast between OGDB and Super, where in OGDB he's isolated and destructive, always on the outside and viewed as a monster (the monster his father wanted him to be, the only approval he ever got for years was a dead man's wish for him to become a monster) in Super he's actively part of a family unit- he's heavily involved in the Son/Satan families' lives and despite putting on a show of grouchiness he clearly places a high value on his place in their dynamic.

Of course the road to this wasn't perfect, his early friendship/mentorship with Gohan is a clear replication of his own traumatic childhood. "It made me strong, so it'll make you strong too" beliefs which were directly harmful (this is the real reason he's Gohan's second dad, he literally gives the kid generational trauma).

If my thoughts were more organized I might start a tangent about how his apparent general distance from Gohan in the Buu saga could have been an attempt to rectify that mistake by distancing himself, before ultimately apologizing and making a concerted effort to be better resulting in them being close again in Super but at that point I might as well be writing fanfiction.

In any case I fully believe family is one of Piccolo's strongest character motivations whether he acknowledges it or not.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

I think that if gojo ran during their fight Sukuna would transport to heaven and cause problems too.
