#i am once again using an ask to ramble about HC stuff thats only tangentially related

[chickenoptyrx]

Does raditz know that gohan is half saiyan half earthling? If not then I imagine him being completely shock, but also kinda suspected that gohan wasn’t really a full blooded saiyan.

Btw I love your art so god damn much ❤️❤️❤️

Preciate ya 🙏

And i feel like theres no way for him NOT to know- he knows his brother effectively 'went native' while marooned on that backwater little planet, and its not like he knew of or detected any other saiyans there, so its really the only option. Plus nappa and vegeta immediately figured it out too:

But then too imma use this ask to mention a small personal HC i have that, just by nature of saiyans whole conquest model, there were probably plenty of people who were culturally saiyans but not 'pure blooded saiyans'. I know its just filler errors but i like that as an explanation for scenes like this where you see 'saiyans' with multiple hair colors, despite the rules about pure blooded saiyans hair.

And, given the whole 'warrior culture', i think lower and middle class saiyans probably didnt have strong opinions on how 'pure blooded' someone was so much as whether they were an asset to their squad and could hold their own in a fight. But you get to the upper classes and im sure then they get a lot more space racist :T

Last thing is- ill be honest, im probably never gonna draw it cause i dont wanna make anyone unnecessarily uncomfortable, but in the same way raditz calls gohan 'runt' and nappa tends to just say 'kid'... vegeta would absolutely have a habit of callin gohan some rude ass words for mixed race :/ cause vegetas an ass.

In my humble opinion.
