POV: an alien that looks uncannily like your dad offers to teach you about your Saiyan heritage (definitely not sus)

Heavily inspired by the Odin scene in God of War: Ragnarok!!

I see a lot of Gohan & Turles interpretations as like Turles being an evil (and lonely) Saiyan and Gohan trying to find some way to outsmart him buuuuut I prefer to think of Turles as a cunning bastard that would lull Gohan into a false sense of security.

Maybe years of being repressed and told what to do by every adult figure in his life made him feel like Turles could be his route for freedom. Like, dude literally explores the galaxy and does whatever he wants.

Ofc, Gohan isn't naive enough to just get kidnapped. Turles tosses him a scouter and tells Gohan to call if he wants to talk, and Turles would secretly come to visit.

Then eventually when Picc finds out...all hell breaks loose and Gohan (panicking) willingly hops into Turles's ship and they take off.

Even then Turles doesn't tie Gohan down. He offers to send him back whenever he wants, even shows him where the emergency eject pods are. Turles knows damn well Gohan's curiosity is too great for him to make the smarter decision not to engage (like GoW Atreus)

Tldr Turles is a textbook groomer 💀
