Daima review / what I liked and everything under the read more.

TLDR: Very DB, very Toriyama, very cute, very well made, and beautiful. 9.5/10 highly recommended.

What I liked:

Voice acting. SFX. Animation. Colors, composition, lines, framing. Every single scene from DB/DBZ that was reanimated for the "viewing". Kubota and Nakatsuru and Sanda and everyone did AMAZING. The entire first half retells the Buu saga events and it looks STUNNING.

Demon, Kai and Namek lore. White magic vs black magic. "Pointy ears means you come from the Demon Realm" -> Soooo....?

The humor was great 98% of the time. Character dynamics with the new characters are amazing. Gomah is expressive and interesting.

Kibitoshin rewrite which cancels BoG, so Daima does to DBS what DBS did to DBGT :D

We know the timeline (Trunks' 9th birthday). We don't know if it's before or after everyone forgets about Buu (but the DBs are inactive). If Trunks' birthday is indeed in june, it can be like, 3 weeks after the Buu saga (which takes place around May 7th, Tenkaichi Day), or the year after, after the DBs were active and used to make people forget about Buu. It's likely that it's right after the Buu saga (days/weeks) because Gomah watched the Buu events live and went straight to Earth AND they celebrate everyone's return to Earth during the birthday celebration.

What I disliked:

2% of the humor was "bodily smells" childish. Arinsu's chest is a bit weird in terms of body movement and dress design :-|

Character proportions.

Mr Satan, Piccolo, Tenshinhan and Yamcha are way too short in compariton to Goku and Gohan. Vegeta is way too tall (Bulma is taller than him) and he SHOULD NOT BE WEARING HIS ARMOR at the birthday. His entire character arc is not wearing saiyan armor over time (full armor to only the chest + shoulders to only the chest to only the blue spandex + gloves/boots by the buu saga and nothing is left in End of Z)

Here's my modest fix (couldn't fix oolong because reasons but yeah):

The wish to make everyone 6 years old (and those who were children to "become babies") is fine, but Piccolo (mini) does not look like his infant self, nor like his 3yo (in the 23rd tournament) self :p

Can we talk about how the wish was worded?

"those who defeated majinbuu and all their friends".

Who defeated Majin Buu? narrow answer: Mr Satan, Goku, and you can maybe add Vegeta. Wide answer is "everyone in the universe and OtherWorld" (with their participation in the genkidama). Middle answer is the Z team... Including Gohan, Goten and Trunks, Piccolo, aka everyone who fought or faced Buu at some point, even Enma, King Kai, and Porunga and the Namekians who gave him ki for the genki and the wish to restore his ki?

And who do you consider "friends" of any of these people? Not "all their friends who were involved", but just their friends in general. It affected Yamcha, Puar, Oolong and Roshi (who weren't involved) so…

Upa, Eighter, Suno, Baba, Turtle… 17? The girl who pointed Goku to the policeman? The policeman? Bulma's parents? And… Future Trunks??

Future Bulma: what the fuck 6yo future trunks: O_o I have QUESTIONS?!

And Shenron himself? You guys KNOW Goku considers Shenron his friend.... :p

And NIMBUS! Baby cloud?!

[ask-overwatch-heroes]

Question for the omnic characters!

If you somehow gained the ability to eat, what would you be curious to try first?

Orisa: I have often seen Efi consuming ice cream, which makes me curious to try it.

Bastion: Noo foo, buu ruu! (It is not food, but I want to chew on a pencil rubber).

Ramattra: Hmm... I haven't given it thought. Oil and electricity have been enough sustenance for me. So, I suppose I might try something with plenty of oil.

Echo: In my early life, when I knew nothing but my creator, Liao, I could often smell the cheap noodles she would eat while working on me. I always wanted to know what that tasted like.

Zenyatta: A burger. It seems odd. However, I have always been curious about this food that has captured the attention of many around the world.

[fortunesque]

Here it is: an idea that wouldn't leave me alone that has taken over a sizeable portion of my brain.

Pairing: Chi-Chi/Raditz

Rating: Explicit. It hasn't earned the rating yet, but it definitely will.

An accidental wish on the Dragon Balls gave Chi-Chi a gigantic problem to take care of: Raditz. He was a filthy, immoral man. He often smelled like booze, cigarettes, and cheap perfume. He was also her dead husband's brother.

He was handsome, though, and getting him in bed would be easy. She told her sons that she wouldn't allow them to have sleepovers with girls. That's how regrets and mistakes happen, after all.

Chi-Chi realized too late that she should have followed her own rules.

Raditz found her prudish, stuck-up, and naïve. Still, she was more Saiyan than his brother ever was, and he couldn't help but wind her up. The way she threatened him was hot as hell. It didn't mean anything to him. Nope. Not at all.

Set in the 7 year gap, just before the Buu saga takes place. Completely consensual, no cheating.

If you like angst and characters being an utter tire-fire, then you'll love this one. (Edited to update the summary to something more... summarizational.)

[thisisnotawendys]

You guys think Majin Buu smells like BO or plastic? Which one?

[kakarotcake]

In honor of Gochi Day, have this post-Buu saga fluffy oneshot I wrote of Chi Chi and Goku returning to their domestic life 😊 I wrote it last year, but I didn't have this account in May sooo I get a freebie.

C/W: Light sexual themes, nothing explicit.

Peace returning to the Earth never meant that Son Goku would stop training.

There were always going to be limits to push, and new heights to reach. Fighting was one of the things in the world that brought the Saiyan the most happiness, be it against someone who was trying to destroy his home planet or against someone who merely wanted a friendly spar, and he couldn’t picture a realistic scenario where he would give it up.

For now until he felt he made substantial progress, Goku focused on working more with his Super Saiyan 3 transformation. The series of events that transpired because of the now-fallen Babidi and what eventually became Evil Buu allowed him to fully grasp that he hasn’t mastered it yet, so dedicating time and effort was a must. It took him several years to achieve the form in Other World, and if it took him several more years to get its rate of energy consumption slowed down, then so be it.

Today, he would try to maintain Super Saiyan 3 for as long as he could, even if the fatigue made him pass out later. Standing outside of his home on the expansive Mount Paozu, Goku stood meters away in a clearing, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists as a golden aura surged around him. Long hair of a similar color whipped about as the martial artist sparred with an imaginary opponent, repeatedly throwing punches and kicks in a rhythmic fashion that carried enough strength to level a mountain many times over. This carried on well until some hours later as the sun set, and Goku was left being extremely drained.

Sweat dribbled down his forehead in a miniature stream as he took a moment to breathe, feeling all of the nerves in his body burn with a searing pain. That wasn’t anything he’s never dealt with before, but weariness was beginning to set in and set in harshly. Figuring that was enough for now, the Saiyan stood up from his seated position on the grass, and walked back to his home with the intention of getting a nice bath set up over a fire to cleanse his body. A brush of his hand through the transformation’s long golden locks to clear his face only caused an awful lot of moisture to set on his skin, and Goku looked down at the sweat coating his hand with a grimace. Alongside bathing, he should definitely try to wash his mane of hair as well. He had forgotten that it tended to act like a giant sponge.

He went to work setting up one of their large bathing tubs, easily picking it up and filling it with the clean water from their home’s nearby river. Next, Goku started a fire and placed the barrel on top. He had a lot of time to kill before the water would be warm enough, but first, he did need to get the things he needed to bathe and dry himself afterwards.

Past his own stench, his nose picked up a delectable smell wafting from his mountain home, and it acted like a magnet. Goku opened the backdoor to the kitchen and stepped inside. He was greeted by the sight of his wife standing before their oven, that was covered in an assortment of occupied cookware.

“Goku?” Chi Chi looked over her shoulder from flipping a slab of meat in a frying pan, eyes widening at the sight of him. Particularly, how his face appeared in Super Saiyan 3. He knew she was still getting used to it.

“Did you finish training for today?”

“Mostly.” A soft smile unconsciously appeared on his face, which tended to happen whenever he saw her. He closed the door behind him, remembering that she hated it being left open.

“Why do you still…look like that then? Are you going to change back?”

“Not right now. Part of the training is staying in this form as long as I can, so my body will get more used to it. Remember how I did the same thing as a normal Super Saiyan?”

“…Yes, a little…” Properly turning towards him, she crossed her arms and had a frown pulling the corners of her lips down.

“What? You don’t like it?”

“I much prefer how you normally look, Goku. The “no eyebrows” thing keeps throwing me off.”

His initial response was to chuckle in amusement, and step closer to her. Whatever guard she had quickly melted, he noticed, as her features softened – especially when he wrapped an arm around her waist.

“I’ll change back before bed. Don’t want my freaky face to spook you.”

“It’s not freaky.” Chi Chi scoffed, laying a hand on his chest. “Just…very different. Not THAT big of a deal.”

“Well…thanks for understanding.”

Goku leaned down to lay a kiss on the bridge of her nose, immediately causing a blush to darken her fair skin. Her soured expression was completely gone now, replaced by a giddy smile. She looked so cute that he couldn’t resist giving her another kiss, this one further down her nose, though there was gratitude present in it as well.

Ever since his identity as a Saiyan came to light years ago, both for him and her, it changed a lot of things. For one, even though she was still adamant on Gohan keeping to his studies, she was far more understanding of why exactly he loved to fight so much. To push his limits and continue growing stronger. That first night he spent in the hospital after his battle with Vegeta was the first time they were together again in over a year, and they had a serious conversation over what’s occurred in their lives during the period; including Gohan’s.

It was all so long ago that he couldn’t remember every single thing they discussed, but one thing he vividly did is that Chi Chi made it clear he was still her husband. She still loved him, even with he belonging to a race of aliens that brought nothing but suffering to their planet back then. Loving combat was in his blood, and she would be a terrible wife to refuse accepting him for who he was.

That night lead such a deeper, intimate understanding to form between them that he felt even closer to her than he did previously. That remained true years later, to today.

“Of course.” She responded with a gentler tone, playing with a strand of his golden hair.

“Dinner will be ready soon. Gohan and Goten should be back from the arcade before then.”

That’s right; Goten did want to go to one. He knew Gohan wasn’t the type to play video games or the like, but he couldn’t turn down chaperoning his little brother.

“Sounds good. I’ll take a bath in the meantime.”

“You should.” She poked him halfheartedly. “The stink of your sweat is almost overwhelming.”

“Yeah…but I bet part of you likes it, huh?”

He grinned at her shocked look, and the deepening of her blush. It wasn’t as if their bodies have never been pressed together like this, with he being sweaty…

Goku walked away before she could retaliate for his tease, grabbing the items he needed then going back outside. He laid his towel and washcloth over the rim of the tub and did a few stretches while the water continued to warm. When it was at a suitable temperature, he stripped off his clothing and quickly hopped in.

Immediately, the Saiyan breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the soreness in his muscles being soothed. He sat there for some minutes, enjoying the warmth before he started to bathe. Foamy soap was spread over his skin and filled the water as he scrubbed himself, but he was soon presented with what would be the most daunting task in the moment. Goku grabbed a handful of his hair, grunting in slight vexation as he used his free hand to reach for the shampoo bottle. If he had to deal with this regularly, then maybe he could afford to spend a little less time maintaining Super Saiyan 3…

He paused when he heard a door open and close, detecting a familiar ki source approaching him.

“Chi?” Goku looked over towards his wife, seeing she lay her hands on the rim of the tub.

“Need some help, dear?” There was a giggling undertone to her voice, and he felt her grab a portion of his locks.

“I’d hate for you to deal with this lion’s mane all on your own.”

“I was just wondering how I’d manage it.” Goku admitted, shrugging. “Can you wash it for me?”

“I’d be happy to.”

He gladly sat back and relaxed, dampening his hair while Chi Chi took the bottle and squeezed a handful of shampoo into her palm. Pleasure shot from his head down his spine in tingles when she started working it in, rubbing his scalp and spreading the foam around until his head was almost entirely enveloped in it.

“Oh my, it’s like there’s even more than I thought. Why does this form of yours give you such long hair anyway?”

“I don’t know. It just…does.” He never thought about that, actually. Then again, he wasn’t sure why he also lost his eyebrows in 3, or why Super Saiyan in general made his hair turn gold either.

“Just another Saiyan mystery, hm? At least it’s soft and fluffy.”

He couldn’t see her face, but he could picture the amused look she had. With her presence, how good the warm water felt, and his still-existing fatigue, Goku felt so at ease that his eyelids suddenly were like weights. They involuntarily began drooping, and he didn’t put up much effort into keeping them open.

He missed this. Their family had already started going back to a new normal after Buu, but there was still no ignoring how there was a strong sense of yearning that persisted in his heart. Being deprived of this for 7 years, a decision he did choose to make though now questioned if his earlier belief in it keeping his family safe ended up making a difference in the end, was something he never wanted to go through again.

To put his sons through again. To put her through, again.

“I’m so happy you’re back, Goku…”

Like she sensed his thoughts, Chi Chi verbally acknowledged the atmosphere. Her voice cracked some, and he raised an arm from the water to hold one of her hands that currently rested on his chest.

“Me too. And, I’m not leaving. Never again.”

She returned the action, lacing her fingers with his. Another break of silence passed, but neither of them needed to say anything else. Chi Chi resumed lathering his golden mane, while her husband quietly relished in the feel of her ki. When she was done, he rinsed it by briefly dunking his head underwater, and stood up to get out of the tub.

Standing before Chi Chi, the blushing woman took his towel and dried his hair to the best of her ability, getting onto the tips of her toes some to lovingly press her forehead against his and brush their noses together.

“You know…this Super Saiyan 3 isn’t so bad. You’re still as handsome as ever.”

As always, she reminding him how attractive she found him caused Goku to beam.

“In that case, do you want me to come to bed like this?”

“Sure. I wouldn’t mind.”

The undertones of her singsong claim sparked a special kind of heat deep within him, but in a manner awfully similar to how he teased her earlier, she promptly left the towel hanging awkwardly over his head and walked back towards the house. He intently watched how she lightly – and purposefully – swung her hips back and forth.

“Go ahead and finish drying off, then get dressed. I’ll start setting the table.”

Though they were far, he sensed Gohan and Goten’s ki signatures coming closer at a speed that suggested they were probably riding on Nimbus. The little cloud wasn’t nearly as fast as them flying themselves, but it was fast enough that they would get here before he could try to get back at his other half and keep up this game. Darn.

Oh well. There was always tonight, and he wasn’t so tired that he would crash right away. With that in mind, Goku patted himself dry, smirking at the bedroom antics possible to be had after dinner and when their sons went to sleep.

There was a lot of lost time to make up for...

[maguro13-2]

What happens after the release of Warioware's new game?

Wario : What a day for a vacation after the release of Warioware Move It. I just hope that Waluigi suspect that he supposed to lookout for the house. Well, at least we're back at our hometown of...

2023-02-03 “Did my makeup fall apart just perfectly?” Tereblog #3 [ENG]

A story from yesterday evening..

I needed to get in the bath but I became tired and couldn’t move. My mascara fell off my eyelashes, my lipstick was fading and disheveled and yet for some reason I felt like this was the perfect look…..I’m tired so maybe my decision making skills have fallen🥱･°Also where are my bangs?

The lame scattered and my eyes are sparkling..

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

 I was thinking about what to write for today’s blog…but I decided on doing a Q&A!

 I’ve been reading the comments on my last relay blog and the individual blogs that started two days ago. To tell you the truth I was a little worried that since changing to an individual the amount of comments would go down but when I saw the number of comments I became more energetic!! Thank you for all the comments this week, thank yo yo ( ･_･)/-------◎

I’m so glad at how many people are reading these blogs. I’m also really grateful to everyone wishing us 5th generation members a happy anniversary (tears)

#Nogizaka 5th generation member 1st anniversary since joining. When I saw this hashtag on February 1st I cried a little.

 Well then lets get started with the Q&A

💌The last meet and greet I participated in I had a whiteboard where I just had to write my feelings of gratitude and the speed at which Tere-pan reacted was abnormally quick and I was so happy and wow are you quick! Amazing! Tere-pan are you trying to make reading speed one of your special talents? I’m a slow reader and so if you have any tricks to reading faster please let me know…

(Blog name: Taiga)

🤍I grew up reading books and so I think that’s why I’m so fastι(｀･-･´)/

Right now I exclusively read manga and I can finish a volume of jump manga in about 10 minutes (in the case of a new volume I’ll reflect on it and then read it again in about 30 minutes)

That being said I don’t think you can read or shorthand that fast as I think I’m faster than the general population, I want to challenge it one day!!!

A trick to read faster…

When you hold up a sketchbook for me to read, I don’t read individual words but it’s like a sensation of having a whole screen in my head  

💌Tere-pan have you ever overslept?

(Blog name: Mameta)

🤍Not since I started living by myself! I’m a light sleep and I put my alarm at the loudest volume setting and have it go off from anywhere between every 2 hours to every 3 minutes. But I have failed to make meeting times… but this isn’t a established fact right staff-san｡ﾟ(ﾟ^ω^ﾟ)ﾟ｡

💌Tere-pan-chan do you also do oil paintings??

(Blog name: Shoutarou)

🤍I’ve only ever drawn it in art class in school. It’s a habit for Teresa to get drunk off the smell of Turpentine oil

💌You’ve entered your second year now, and compared to your first year is there anything that you’ve feel you’ve grown at?

(blog name: Taiyou)

🤍Speaking very specifically, I’ve gotten more efficient at taking notes on our standing position, when I look at my notes from the 10th birthday live they are so illegible I can’t read then…!

💌 Tere-pan what is your favorite vegetable?

(blog name: Shogo)

🤍Bukkorory

From my mom, before I prepare it I put it in water for an hour to kill any bugs, hard boil it and then stir fried in oyster sauce is how I like it

(TL Note: I’m pretty sure she means broccoli but I’m not sure)

💌Gauauawa 🥚what’s your favorite way to eat it?

(Blog name: Michael)

🤍Tamago kake gohan! I like eggs with red egg yolks

💌I made some ducks out of clay in my art class! Do you have any good names for them?

(Blog name: Makoto)

🤍Nietzsche

When you’re lost in life, just talk to the duck and you may get something out of it.

At my place there’s been an increase in ducks with hair.

Manager-san had a hair transplant… this one’s name is Buu-kun (named by Aya)

Kekeke

💌Please tell me some trick for taking selfies (˙˙*)

(blog name: Chiaki)

🤍Selfies…taking many till you get a few is a strategy, so just take a lot and choose! They also do this in the photo studios don’t they.

The pictures I can post now are more than I could before because it was a relay blog and behind the scenes pictures? Other cuts? Are they types of pictures I have a lot of.

From now on the pictures I can post on this blog, as well as the ones I posted before are around the ones I’m going to keep posting but I also want variety from the ones in Nogime (Nogizaka46 mail and Nogizaka46 message is the double meaning of Nogieme)

Recently I’ve really been like the retro filter feel kind of like the Zetsubou MV…I think I’m going to want a film camera one day. The pictures on Men’s blog are really on point and they have a good aura and atmosphere, I hope to be like that （´-`）.｡oO（🎞🤍

↑The theme of today’s Blog names are names that boys would have.

 Night time is more for Q&A but while saying that I kind of want to do some during lunch time as well. If you like please continue to comment blow🤲🏻

 By the way I also read the letters💌

My SNS notice section is always lonely (so in other words I don’t have a lot of addresses…) and to have this letter!!! This was my first noticeeeeeee you can get to know what people are doing with a picture attachment… I’m grateful to have this for of communication outside of meet and greets, an outflow of strong emotions･:*+.(( °ω° ))/.:+

It reminded me of the information class in elementary school and it calmed me a little

P.S: I won’t forgive you people who send me letter of food at night time 😡so just bring me the real thing 😡

Yesterday was twin tail day

And so I felt like I muscle post this picture of twiNagi💪🏽( ¨̮ 💪🏽)

Twineresa’s picture was posted by the New Nogizaka Star Tanjou producer Shinobu Mori-san!!!

Thank you

 Please forgive me for this whimsical blog

Thank yo-yo for reading this blog today ( ･_･)/-------◎

Finishing off with a Twin Sakusaku-panda🌸🐼

[dballzposting]

I hauve . A supplementary story

I want to preface by saying that I think that Buu is Mr Satan's karmic destiny in a LOT of little ways, and one of them is to bring to consequence the way that Mr Satan Cannot Give A Straight Answer.

That must have been infuriating for Videl growing up, since she is an agent of truth and tends to be straightforward. Mr Satan must have learned by dealing with her how to just say things with confidence and in one sentence so that it SOUNDS like a legitimate answer; but at the same time, he's learned how to draw things on and phrase things a certain way in order to delight the press.

Mr Satan has a bias toward delusion and denial, and when you dissect the things he says, you end up finding a lot of hot air.

But now he's sort of responsible for taking an alien being and integrating him into society. This is unlike raising a child, because a misunderstanding from Buu could be potentially disastrous. It's also unlike raising a child, becasue Buu is not in any sense a dependent, and if he gets sick of smelling bullshit, he could very well just walk away and blow things up and never come back. So Mr Satan's lies are limited.

It's imperative that he be able to explain things to Buu in a way that satisfy him and that produce desirable results, but he can't just lie to him constantly, and he can't manhandle him either. This requires Mr Satan to think critically about everything he says and sees and the values he's choosing to apply, and he has to weigh out the functionality of different concepts and learn to find and settle on a "good enough" point.

He's never had to do this before .... It's always been a matter of climbing the ladder for him. Actions that earn approval are good, actions that don't are either bad or not worth his time. There are many societal values that Mr Satan adheres to just because everyone else does; he doesn't think critically about these things.

But Buu will never be an upstanding citizen. You can never shame and guilt him enough to change his shape. He'll just refuse it. He's gonna be himself. So Mr Satan has to find ways to allow Buu to be himself while also not disrupting general society too much. This means breaking down accepted conventions and assessing for merit. This means Not Just Compulsively Running From Everything.

But Mr Satan will be Mr Satan. He method of self-regulation is denial and grandiosity, which is then the lense through which he views the world, which is what he has to try to communicate to this alien outsider - which is what he has to continuously reassess and be selective about. This is a challenge for him, which is why it's karmic.

CASE STUDY:

Videl & Gohan & the baby Pan & Mr Satan & Mr Buu are all out for a fun family day at the ZOO ! :D

Everything is going awesomely until they all pass by an exhibit that has animals in it that are , perhaps , having a bit of a go at each other. Like it's mating season, or maybe it's even just parrots doing it for fun, or something of that nature.

This is inconsequential to the scholarly Gohan and the pragmatic Videl and the infant Pan, but Mr Satan is a self-fearing repressed sort of gentleman who abides by the loudest of society's calls, so he HAS to make some sort of comment about it or laugh it off or SOMETHING to dismiss the uncomfortableness he feels. But he doesn't. Becasue he has only narrowly avoided this topic with Buu in the room before. He is afraid of that conversation.

He thinks it's a conversation. He thinks it would have to be something he'd have to explain. He assumes this responsibility, and this fear, because like all of us, he lives in a society that applies certain constraints of shame around sexual feelings, activity, and discussion, which causes it to stick out with a certain prevalence, which means that He Feels Burdened By The Weight of having to in theory one day explain it to an unaware party even though No One Ever Asked Him To he just assumed that this was his burden. Like this is just his personal experience but he thinks that it's objective ... it doesn't have to be anything but he's primed to think that it's something.

And it's all been fine so far but currently there is something evidently odd or appealing or confusing about this particular animal exhibit. And Buu stops to watch a bit longer.

And you can see Mr Satan see this and you can see him tense up for the inevitable. Literally he turns to Videl & Gohan for help, you can see the look of morbid fear flash across his face. It's a silent but LOUD plea. And literally immediately Videl turns away, because she cannot STAND that look - now that she's moved out and is a parent herself, she has the capacity for more grace; but she also has the capacity to become aware of all the ways she hated living with her father. She loves him but CANNOT STAND some things about him. His showboating for one; his constant need for external validation; and this right here is another prime example, the way that he Lacks The Maturity to handle the facts of life, and that he cannot relay them when asked. He thinks that these sorts of situations should be feared & avoided. And Videl just cannot stand that ... She turns away becasue she has her own family to tend to now, because she wants to encourage her dad to Solve His Own problems, and becasue she feels angry for all the times Mr Satan had brought that attitude into his parenting and implicitly made Videl feel like she was at fault for asking any and all questions about the world.

Gohan doesnt turn away. He looks at Mr Satan and he looks at Buu and he sees the silent plea on Mr Satan's face and he sees the look of oddity on Buu's face. And he looks at Videl who has pointedly turned away from the situation that shouldn't be a situation. And Gohan actually takes a chance, he rubs the back of his head and says something like "I mean - it should be fine, right? I mean, I don't see why it wouldn't be. I mean ... he's mature in his own right, isn't he? I mean ... what's really the problem here, you know?"

Buu can sense the tension between everyone and assumes that it's the animals that's got everyone so worked up. So he looks at everyone, and points into the exhibit, and asks, "What are the animals doing?"

And Videl doesn't answer and Gohan doesn't answer.

And there is this ... beautiful, bold moment where we think that maybe, MAYBE, Mr Satan is going to tell the truth. That maybe he's just going to give it straight. MAYBE HE'S GOING TO BE COOL ABOUT IT. Maybe he's going to be NORMAL.

And he opens his mouth .... "Well, y'see, Buu, it's like this......"

And then something ignites in his eyes and he STARTS SPINNING A YARN. HE SAYS SOME BULLSHIT. HE MAKES IT UP AS HE GOES. He starts LAUGHINGGG and says "Oh, that, well - that's how they test each other's strength and fighting aptitude, y'see. They get up behind each other and, test each other's mettle, y'see. It's good sportsmanship"

ETC ETC ETC. And Videl covers her face in disappointment and exhaustion. And Gohan sort of sighs it away in good humor.

And Buu, who had only been mildly interested in the animals before, is now VERY interested. He's hanging onto Mr Satan's every word. This is riveting. He had no idea that was a thing!

"WOW," says Buu. "And here Buu just thought that they were making babies! That is so much cooler! The zoo is fun!"

...................... Boy I tell you. The way that everybody just freezes.

Only to immediately mobilize when Buu asks why he and Mr Satan don't do that.

MR SATAN DUG THIS GRAVE . NOW HE HAS TO GET IN IT ...! MAYBE HE'LL LEARN HIS LESSON.

This was all his doing. If he weren't so cagey about being asked that question then maybe he would have realized that Buu would never need to ask it, becasue he already knows a great deal about the nature of living things.

BTW I think he would phrase it like "making babies" becasue it's a functional perspective, becasue that's the explanation on procreation that Bibidi would have likely given him if asked, and becasue that's the knowledge and the TONE that he would have acquired from eating that nice supreme Kai.

But it would be infinitely funnier if instead he had said "Buu just thought that they were having sex!" I just don't think that that's the phrasing that would necessarily leap out of him but it definitely would have been so much funnier. Btw.

THERE IS A HOLE IN THIS TALE that hole being ... Oh so you don't think that Mr Satan would ever take Buu out for a night on the town? Go cruising? You don't think that he would introduce him to strippers and gambling? Ok. Ok. Ok. I see how it is. No it's fine. IT'S FINE! Whatever ....

Hopnestly I am truly undecided about that last point. Very good argument to say thatMr Satan takes in Buu as the best friend he's never had and is eager to do all of his favorite recreational acitivties with him. There is also a very good argument that he sees Buu as too good and pure for drugs and strippers. But there is also a good argument that Mr Satan sees nothing wrong with these things and that "a boy can have a treat every now and then." Buu is his playmate and maybe he ought to take him to the bar. IDK. Much to think about. End post

Since Buu had initially toured & destroyed countless worlds, he has the benefit of having witnessed (even if only briefly) many varieties of life forms and their lifestyles & habits & tendencies & realities. There are basic concepts about living things that he's just equipped with knowing. A lot of the time this knowledge came in the form of how to torture them the most, but still. (<- an example is when he healed that little boy's eyes so that he could see him; Buu wanted people to run away from him, and he knew that humans rely on their sense of sight for that sort of perception of danger, so he knew to heal the eyes first. Another example is when the dog wouldn't run; he learned with that little exchange that dogs do not speak the language he does. It's basis concepts like that that he's gathered...)

So there are broad ideas that Buu grasps because he has seen them or because they apply to him. He understands eating, though we don't know if he's learned how necessary it is for other living things (he probably can't die of starvation); he understands sleeping, though has probably had to learn that all animals sleep differently (if at all), and he's just gonna have to wait until Mr Satan wakes up in the morning naturally and he can't just go knocking down his bedroom door anytime he wants to because it's not nice. He understands the concept of reproduction (and I'm sure later on what family means to humans), and no one had to explain what it meant for Videl to be Mr Satan's "daughter."

Shit like that .... But I wonder what else he knows. What else does he see as just basic concepts of life. Do the stars shine differently on the surface of every planet? Are they always beautiful? Does he know beauty? Is it fundamental? Is it important? Can it be created or destroyed?

I think that Mr Satan can be kind of an old-fashioned man. Which is to say he can be overly observant of societal norms that really aren't based in anything real but he swears up and down by them as a fundamental necessity of life. Kind of like those mothers who WILL NOT LET YOU use a kitchen towel as a bath towel and vice-versa, who just have some sort of COMPULSIVE NEED to recognize those towels as fundamentally different, and if you try to dismantle that then their anger gets provoked as if their life is being threatened. Mr Satan doesn't give a fuck about towels but it would be something LIKE that.

And there are a looooooooooot of little things that Buu has to learn to go along with that are just things to keep social life seamless. You can't cut in line. You have to answer the phone with a greeting. Let the elderly and pregnant people have the seat on the train. You have to face the doors when standing in an elevator. The order of meals is appetizer -> entree -> main course -> dessert, and you should order food in that order. No making loud noises during the sleeping hours of the night. ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC.

Some things are practical (red means stop, green means go) and some things are civil (the average employee doesn't have any more control over the company's policies than you do, so be kind) and some things are ... Arbitrary, but have been made a social habit of, and could very well run very deep ("ladies first.").

I don't think that Buu has the bandwidth to make such nuancial distinctions .... or the interest to even think about it much. When he agreed to stop killing and destroying, it was arbitrary to him - kill, no kill, playing is playing, find different ways to play, that's fine! - and he only maintains that promise by obligation to the arbitrary "Because Mr Satan said so." His love for Mr Satan is not arbitrary, but that reasoning is, and that doesn't bother Buu one bit.

He's fine with rules making no "sense," because I think that the levels he operates on is only emotional and instinctual; and "yes" and "no" and "can" and "do not" are fundamental concepts that he has experienced, and that he has a tolerance for, even if the "do not" sometimes hurts. He has a tolerance for his own discomfort, to a point.

Since he operates on those basic levels, I think that the universe DOES make sense to him. It is what it is. He perceives, he responds. There isn't anything to think about when there is a lot to feel about; and the confusion only happens when he has to make a decision in a situation that is overall removed from any sense of instinct, OR is built up on those to a level of nuance that is distinctly human. Which is to say, he does not know how to float in social situations. There has to be an objective that makes sense (ex: food acquisition), or he has to be allowed to just be removed from the situation (ex: sitting away from everyone and reading a funny comic alone).

When all else fails, he can just rely on the classic "What would Mr Satan do?" to resolve any of the confusion and indecision.

But I guess my point in saying all of this is I wonder if Buu and Mr Satan fundamentally disagree sometimes. Mr Satan has ideas about the world and about people and most importantly about himself; he thinks himself indestructible, and he runs from his (frequent) experiences of fear or inadequacy. And he says things that seem to imply that to run away from these experiences of weakness is to become stronger, as if you can deny the weakness away; and Buu, who experiences everything in totality and without judgement, and who sees the slight forward collapse of Mr Satan's posture when he isn't remembering to fight through it for the cameras, KNOWS that that can't be right. All he knows are feelings and reflexes, and he just cannot understand how or why someone could try to say that they don't need to be felt, or that they will just go away if you avoid them. Buu can see Mr Satan wear all of his feelings in all the contours of his body, and it just comes as an outright shock when Mr Satan himself isn't even aware of them.

Buu listens to Mr Satan because he loves him, and most of the time Mr Satan just gives him arbitrary rules for existing in this arbitrary world; like playing a game, Buu is happy to hopscotch along. But sometimes Mr Satan tells him things that seem to contradict with what Buu KNOWS is true, is real, is the universe, is just how things work - and that takes some major head-scratching until Buu decides that maybe it's just not something that Mr Satan can understand. And that he can be patient with him, like how Mr Satan has always been patient with Buu.

Super buu sfw alphabet pls?

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Super Buu isn’t very good at showing his affection. It might take him a long time before he’ll say words that show you he cares or even actions that could be deemed affectionate. He doesn’t really understand how affection works and he may need you to teach him.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

He wouldn’t be an amazing best friend. There’s a lot of jealousy and demand there, but he tries his best to be a good friend to you. He’ll tone back the violence and anger for you and he’ll show you that he can be soft and sweet from time to time. For the friendship to start, you’d need to meet him and show him that he can be a good guy.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Secretly, he loves to cuddle. He wants to hold you in his arms and feel your warmth. It makes him feel very happy and like he belongs to someone. He’s not the best with feelings, so he generally will use touch to show you that he likes you. He wraps you up in his arms and clings to you. He needs to feel your warmth and the smell of your hair.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Super Buu isn’t the most interested in domestic life, but if you were to suggest it to him, he’d probably think about it. It does sound like a good deal, as long as you are willing to do most of the cooking and cleaning. He might become a little more interested in cooking as time goes on, but he doesn’t want to clean.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

He’d be quite blunt and hurtful about it. There really isn’t anything else to the break up. He’s not super heartbroken, but it might sting later on as he thinks of you from time to time. It’s not a fun thing to do, but he knows it needs to be done.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

This is something that makes him nervous. If you want to be committed to him, he might not really know what to do. He likes you...maybe even loves you but for him to settle down with you would take a lot of thought and discussion. He’s not even really someone who understands fully committed relationships, so you may need to discuss the prospects and details with him.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Super Buu is usually not very gentle. It takes a lot for him to be gentle and sweet with you, but he never aims to hurt you. He might not know how to hug you or how to touch you sweetly, and he doesn’t understand feelings...but he often tries to mimic what he sees on TV or even from other couples.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

He loves hugs, but he doesn’t really show it. He wants you to hug him whenever you see each other. He loves the way you fit perfectly in his arms. He’ll hug you every chance he gets. His hugs can be a bit awkward at first, but they are warm and welcoming once he gets the hang of it.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It would take so long for him to say “I love you”. He might not ever really say it and you might need to come to the conclusion that if you want to be with him to not expect him to say it. If he does say it, it would be such a long wait for it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

He’s crazy jealous. He doesn’t want anyone even looking or talking to you. You are his and he will not accept anyone trying to get with you. He’ll fight anyone who flirts with you and he’s not afraid to hurt them seriously. You need to remind him that people may flirt with you, but you love him and only him.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

His kisses are awkward at first, but he becomes very good at it the more you practice. They are warm and soft, but sometimes heated and passionate. He loves to kiss you everywhere he can, especially on the lips or the chest and thighs. He loves kisses on the lips and all over the body as well.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

He is terrible around children. He has no desire to have children and will probably remain terrible around them forever. If you want children, you may need to coax him into it somehow, but he doesn’t really have a fatherly instinct.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings with Super Buu would be spent with him going off to train and letting you sleep. When he’s done, he wakes you up and you both have a nice shower. Then you cook him breakfast and make him coffee, while he just admires you. It’s nice and quiet for the most part, and he might want to watch TV with you or listen to the radio.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Nights could be frisky and sexual. He does have a need for sex from time to time and you better be open to relieving that tension whenever he’s feeling that way. If not, he’ll want to eat dinner with you and spend a little time snuggling on the couch. Then at bedtime, he brings you to the bed and cuddles you all night long.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

He’d be pretty open from the get go, but he wants you to want to learn things about him. He doesn’t want to just tell you everything, but it probably happens that he just blurts it all out to you. He wants to show you what kind of person he is.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

He gets angry very easily and you need to help him with that. He’s not patient at all and isn’t afraid to blast people or buildings to dust if he doesn’t get his way. That’s why you need to show him a good way of channeling your energy and anger into something more productive.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

He’ll remember a good deal about you. If you tell him details about yourself, he’ll actually remember it and he’ll mention it from time to time. He likes to get to know you, and sometimes he’ll actually pick up on little cues and hints.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

His favorite memory is when you first kissed him. He wasn’t expecting it at all, and he just remembers how warm and sweet you felt. You are so small compared to him and the way you just wrapped your arms around him made him feel so loved. It was the first time in a long time that he felt so loved and happy.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Super Buu is so protective of you. He really cares about you and if he does love you, he’s going to want to make sure you are safe and secure. He’ll fight anyone who tries to hurt you, but he’ll also try to outwit them if he can. He doesn’t really want you to try and protect him, but it would make him happy to know that you care about him that much.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

He doesn’t really know how to put effort into these kinds of things, but he does try from time to time. He just wants to see you smile, but if he’s unsure what to buy you or what kind of date to bring you on, he might just let you pick out something and that makes him happy. It’s difficult because he’s not very used to earth things.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He’s controlling, demanding and he’s also sometimes void of emotions. You need to be prepared to deal with all of these along with his anger and jealousy if you wish to be with him.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He’s actually quite concerned about his looks. He wants to seem the most intimidating and the most good looking, especially for you.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

He would definitely not say it out loud, but he would feel very incomplete without you. You help keep him grounded and happy, and he would hate to lose that if you were not around to make him feel that way.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

It’s no surprise that he has a big sweet tooth, so he would love to take you out on dates where you go to bakeries and try out all kinds of different cakes and baked goods. He loves sweets and he loves you.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

He wouldn’t like someone who is too clingy and too needy. His partner needs to be independent a little bit and can do their own thing while he’s busy himself. But also, he doesn’t want someone who’s too independent and will boss him around.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

He definitely snores a little, but he can get a little clingy with his cuddles and will toss and turn a lot.

Oh hi there, it's been a minute!

Sooo NYCC panel happened, and Dragon Ball Magic/Daima is real!

Under the read more for the links, images, and some of my thoughts, analysis, etc...

First, the name: Daima 大魔 can be translated as big magic, large sorcery, big magic trick...And that 魔 symbol should look familiar to you guys, because it's the same MA from Piccolo DAIMAo, from MA Jr., from MAkkankosappo, from MAsenko, and from MAjin (magic people/population). It's the same word used for magic, sorcery, witchcraft, and hocus pocus style stuff. So... with or without demon connotation, just supernatural magic stuff :p

Then the continuity. When does this happen? There's no DBS refs at all in it, so there's speculation about it happening before DBS (but after the Buu saga since the Buu events are the origin of the story it seems). However... Kibito and Shin are defused. Did they defuse because of the wish? Or is it happening sometime after they get defused in DBS (different versions depending on manga or anime).

We don't know. I would say: we don't care. "Canon" is a lie. Official content (games, anime, manga, movies, tv specials, one shots, promo material, etc..) tend to steal from each other and reuse whatever is interesting for the following stories. Content is recycled and reused and readapted to fit whatever narrative of the current story beat (or arc/saga if we're generous) and that's it.

Oh btw you can watch it online, since Toei put it out!

Anyway let's get back to the plot:

Pretty sure these guys are Bibidi-Babidi related, and they hold a grudge against the gang because of the Buu situation (this is what they're watching).

They make a wish to make everyone young, and there's no transformations (!) so.. Goku has to use the PowerPole.

There's also a message from Toriyama himself, delivered by Iyoku:

Hello. I’m Akira Toriyama. I’m currently working on a new Dragon Ball. The Title is “Dragon Ball DAIMA”. Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends are turned small. In order to fix things, they’ll head off to a new world! It’s a grand adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious world. Since Goku has to make up for his petite size, he uses his Nyoibo to fight, something not seen in a long time. I came up with the story and settings, as well as a lot of the designs. I’m actually putting a lot more into this than usual! Things will unfold that close in on the mysteries of the Dragon Ball world. Hope you enjoy these different-from-usual battles that are cute and powerful!! — AKIRA TORIYAMA

He's far more involved in this than he ever was in DBS, sooooo.. !! Who knows. It's going to be similar to his modern style though, like Dragon Quest or SandLand.

Everyone's designs look amazing!

Look at Trunks and Goten! They will never age, they get CTRL-Z lol Same for Marron actually, she got back to being her Buu saga toddler self :o (note how Trunks is back at being purple, and not Blunks anymore...)

Anywaaaay!

The animation looks STUNNING. However! Goku's hair looks very stiff :(

Other than that, the series started production right when Dragon Quest Dai ended: that's what the animators are transitioning from.

And some new and old names!!

https://x.com/ag_sanda1/status/1712564193344311549?s=20

Nakatsuru at the character design and corrections, Aya Komaki and Yoshitaka Yashima in the direction roles. Art direction is Takahashi Kurahashi (big background artist, did Yo SonGoku a while ago), and some GOATED names for the animation: Chikashi Kubota, Naohiro Shintani, Yuya Takahashi, Takeo Ide, and Miyako Tsuji. Kubota is the guy who did the 2D section of the intro for DBSSH btw. Kubota My beloved.

Anime AJAY did a whole thread about the production info he has so go check it out.

Kid versions of everyone look super cute, but there was no Gohan on sight. It has to take place "after the Buu saga", but considering the designs, I do think this is kinda meant to be before Pan and Bra were born.

Also I smell Demon lore.

Much interest on my end because it looks amazing even if it's not the serious type of story I usually enjoy. But it looks so good!

Also yeah, DBS Broly and DBSSH is "let's reuse the OG Broly Trilogy", so this is let's reuse/repurpose GT?

Prolly.

So, I finished this Gochi oneshot I started months ago. Might as well post it here because wynaut!  (I also published this on my AO3; just in case any of you eventually notice this same oneshot over on that site.)

Takes place in the aftermath of the Buu saga, and Goku’s SS3 form gets some love.

WARNING: There’s light sexual themes, but nothing heavy.

Peace returning to the Earth never meant that Son Goku would stop training.

There were always going to be limits to push, and new heights to reach. Fighting was one of the things in the world that brought the Saiyan the most happiness, be it against someone who was trying to destroy his home planet or against someone who merely wanted a friendly spar, and he couldn’t picture a realistic scenario where he would give it up.

For now until he felt he made substantial progress, Goku focused on working more with his Super Saiyan 3 transformation. The series of events that transpired because of the now-fallen Babidi and what eventually became Evil Buu allowed him to fully grasp that he hasn’t mastered it yet, so dedicating time and effort was a must. It took him several years to achieve the form in Other World, and if it took him several more years to get its rate of energy consumption slowed down, then so be it.

Today, he would try to maintain Super Saiyan 3 for as long as he could, even if the fatigue made him pass out later. Standing outside of his home on the expanse Mount Paozu, Goku stood meters away in a clearing, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists as a golden aura surged around him. Long hair of a similar color whipped about as the martial artist sparred with an imaginary opponent, repeatedly throwing punches and kicks in a rhythmic fashion that carried enough strength to level a mountain many times over. This carried on well until some hours later as the sun set, and Goku was left being extremely drained.

Sweat dribbled down his forehead in a miniature stream as he took a moment to breathe, feeling all of the nerves in his body burn with a searing pain. That wasn’t anything he’s never dealt with before, but weariness was beginning to set in and set in harshly. Figuring that was enough for now, the Saiyan stood up from his seated position on the grass, and walked back to his home with the intention of getting a nice bath set up over a fire to cleanse his body. A brush of his hand through the transformation’s long golden locks to clear his face only caused an awful lot of moisture to set on his skin, and Goku looked down at the sweat coating his hand with a grimace. Alongside bathing, he should definitely try to wash his mane of hair as well. He had forgotten that it tended to act like a giant sponge.

He went to work setting up one of their large bathing tubs, easily picking it up and filling it with the clean water from their home’s nearby river. Next, Goku started a fire and placed the barrel on top. He had a lot of time to kill before the water would be warm enough, but first, he did need to get the things he needed to bathe and dry himself afterwards.

Past his own stench, his nose picked up a delectable smell wafting from his mountain home, and it acted like a magnet. Goku opened the backdoor to the kitchen and stepped inside. He was greeted by the sight of his wife standing before their oven, that was covered in an assortment of occupied cookware.

“Goku?” Chi Chi looked over her shoulder from flipping a slab of meat in a frying pan, eyes widening at the sight of him. Particularly, how his face appeared in Super Saiyan 3. He knew she was still getting used to it.

“Did you finish training for today?”

“Mostly.” A soft smile unconsciously appeared on his face, which tended to happen whenever he saw her. He closed the door behind him, remembering that she hated it being left open.

“Why do you still…look like that then? Are you going to change back?”

“Not right now. Part of the training is staying in this form as long as I can, so my body will get more used to it. Remember how I did the same thing as a normal Super Saiyan?”

“…Yes, a little…” Properly turning towards him, she crossed her arms and had a frown pulling the corners of her lips down.

“What? You don’t like it?”

“I much prefer how you normally look, Goku. The “no eyebrows” thing keeps throwing me off.”

His initial response was to chuckle in amusement, and step closer to her. Whatever guard she had quickly melted, he noticed, as her features softened – especially when he wrapped an arm around her waist.

“I’ll change back before bed. Don’t want my freaky face to spook you.”

“It’s not freaky.” Chi Chi scoffed, laying a hand on his chest. “Just…very different. Not THAT big of a deal.”

“Well…thanks for understanding.”

Goku leaned down to lay a kiss on the bridge of her nose, immediately causing a blush to darken her fair skin. Her soured expression was completely gone now, replaced by a giddy smile. She looked so cute that he couldn’t resist giving her another kiss, this one further down her nose, though there was gratitude present in it as well.

Ever since his identity as a Saiyan came to light years ago, both for him and her, it changed a lot of things. For one, even though she was still adamant on Gohan keeping to his studies, she was far more understanding of why exactly he loved to fight so much. To push his limits and continue growing stronger. That first night he spent in the hospital after his battle with Vegeta was the first time they were together again in over a year, and they had a serious conversation over what’s occurred in their lives during the period; including Gohan’s.

It was all so long ago that he couldn’t remember every single thing they discussed, but one thing he vividly did is that Chi Chi made it clear he was still her husband. She still loved him, even with he belonging to a race of aliens that brought nothing but suffering to their planet back then. Loving combat was in his blood, and she would be a terrible wife to refuse accepting him for who he was.

That night lead such a deeper, intimate understanding to form between them that he felt even closer to her than he did previously. That remained true years later, to today.

“Of course.” She responded with a gentler tone, playing with a strand of his golden hair.

“Dinner will be ready soon. Gohan and Goten should be back from the arcade before then.”

That’s right; Goten did want to go to one. He knew Gohan wasn’t the type to play video games or the like, but he couldn’t turn down chaperoning his little brother.

“Sounds good. I’ll take a bath in the meantime.”

“You should.” She poked him halfheartedly. “The stink of your sweat is almost overwhelming.”

“Yeah…but I bet part of you likes it, huh?”

He grinned at her shocked look, and the deepening of her blush. It wasn’t as if their bodies have never been pressed together like this, with he being sweaty…

Goku walked away before she could retaliate for his tease, grabbing the items he needed then going back outside. He laid his towel and washcloth over the rim of the tub and did a few stretches while the water continued to warm. When it was at a suitable temperature, he stripped off his clothing and quickly hopped in.

Immediately, the Saiyan breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the soreness in his muscles being soothed. He sat there for some minutes, enjoying the warmth before he started to bathe. Foamy soap was spread over his skin and filled the water as he scrubbed himself, but he was soon presented with what would be the most daunting task in the moment. Goku grabbed a handful of his hair, grunting in slight vexation as he used his free hand to reach for the shampoo bottle. If he had to deal with this regularly, then maybe he could afford to spend a little less time maintaining Super Saiyan 3…

He paused when he heard a door open and close, detecting a familiar ki source approaching him.

“Chi?” Goku looked over towards his wife, seeing she lay her hands on the rim of the tub.

“Need some help, dear?” There was a giggling undertone to her voice, and he felt her grab a portion of his locks.

“I’d hate for you to deal with this lion’s mane all on your own.”

“I was just wondering how I’d manage it.” Goku admitted, shrugging. “Can you wash it for me?”

“I’d be happy to.”

He gladly sat back and relaxed, dampening his hair while Chi Chi took the bottle and squeezed a handful of shampoo into her palm. Pleasure shot from his head down his spine in tingles when she started working it in, rubbing his scalp and spreading the foam around until his head was almost entirely enveloped in it.

“Oh my, it’s like there’s even more than I thought. Why does this form of yours give you such long hair anyway?”

“I don’t know. It just…does.” He never thought about that, actually. Then again, he wasn’t sure why he also lost his eyebrows in 3, or why Super Saiyan in general made his hair turn gold either.

“Just another Saiyan mystery, hm? At least it’s soft and fluffy.”

He couldn’t see her face, but he could picture the amused look she had. With her presence, how good the warm water felt, and his still-existing fatigue, Goku felt so at ease that his eyelids suddenly were like weights. They involuntarily began drooping, and he didn’t put up much effort into keeping them open.

He missed this. Their family had already started going back to a new normal after Buu, but there was still no ignoring how there was a strong sense of yearning that persisted in his heart. Being deprived of this for 7 years, a decision he did choose to make though now questioned if his earlier belief in it keeping his family safe ended up making a difference in the end, was something he never wanted to go through again.

To put his sons through again. To put her through, again.

“I’m so happy you’re back, Goku…”

Like she sensed his thoughts, Chi Chi verbally acknowledged the atmosphere. Her voice cracked some, and he raised an arm from the water to hold one of her hands that currently rested on his chest.

“Me too. And, I’m not leaving. Never again.”

She returned the action, lacing her fingers with his. Another break of silence passed, but neither of them needed to say anything else. Chi Chi resumed lathering his golden mane, while her husband quietly relished in the feel of her ki. When she was done, he rinsed it by briefly dunking his head underwater, and stood up to get out of the tub.

Standing before Chi Chi, the blushing woman took his towel and dried his hair to the best of her ability, getting onto the tips of her toes some to lovingly press her forehead against his and brush their noses together.

“You know…this Super Saiyan 3 isn’t so bad. You’re still as handsome as ever.”

As always, she reminding him how attractive she found him caused Goku to beam.

“In that case, do you want me to come to bed like this?”

“Sure. I wouldn’t mind.”

The undertones of her singsong claim sparked a special kind of heat deep within him, but in a manner awfully similar to how he teased her earlier, she promptly left the towel hanging awkwardly over his head and walked back towards the house. He intently watched how she lightly – and purposefully – swung her hips back and forth.

“Go ahead and finish drying off, then get dressed. I’ll start setting the table.”

Though they were far, he sensed Gohan and Goten’s ki signatures coming closer at a speed that suggested they were probably riding on Nimbus. The little cloud wasn’t nearly as fast as them flying themselves, but it was fast enough that they would get here before he could try to get back at his other half and keep up this game. Darn.

Oh well. There was always tonight, and he wasn’t so tired that he would crash right away. With that in mind, Goku patted himself dry, smirking at the bedroom antics possible to be had after dinner and when their sons went to sleep.

There was a lot of lost time to make up for...

The Dark Prince Returns [Vegeta & Tifa] @badassbarmaid

cc-vegeta “Stupid girl, there is no resisting Master Babidi’s plan. So you will fight me Tifa, right here and now! Or maybe after I destroy these people in the tournament stands, including your disposable Earthling family!” // Majin Vegeta, actually brainwashed by Babidi

badassbarmaid answered:

The way Prince Vegeta spoke sent shivers down her spine. There was no way he meant everything he said. It had to be because of whatever happened to him, right? She didn't know all the details, but she could smell the difference in the air.

Taking a defensive stance, her eyes narrowed and she frowned.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm not going to let you hurt anyone else. The real you wouldn't want that to happen." Especially since Bulma was in the audience; didn't he care for her?

“I’m sorry Tifa, we followed the Supreme Kai to where those guys took my energy. My dad, Piccolo and Krillin got turned to stone by this Demon King Dabura’s spit, and his leader the wizard Babidi, took over Vegeta’s mind. See that M on his forehead? That’s Babidi’s branding, it’s on Dabura too. They’re making us fight so they can use that energy to revive Majin Buu,” Gohan explained to Tifa.

“It’s a monstrosity with unbelievable power, it will be the end of the universe if he gets revived. So we must prevent it at all costs, you must not fight him,” the Supreme Kai added. Unfortunately it was easier said than done, as the transformed Majin Vegeta was charging up an energy blast aimed at the audience to try and taunt Tifa to fight him.

“You won’t let me hurt anyone else? How disappointing. Those are the words of a cowardly weakling like the rest of these Earthlings. The real me wouldn’t want this? You’re wrong, girl, this is the real me! A true Saiyan warrior!” Vegeta declared, and in his anger he lost control and shot the ki blast into the crowd.

Gohan who was closest, swiftly got in between and deflected the ki blast away. Unfortunately, it still blew up the top corner of the stands along with the people that were there, near Bulma and the rest of their loved ones too. “That’s enough Vegeta! If you want to fight, fight me! Leave Tifa and the others out of this!”

“Do not interfere, Gohan! I only desire to fight the strongest one here, and that is not you. It’s Tifa!” Vegeta yell as he let out a blast of power. Babidi then ordered him to kill the Supreme Kai to stop his meddling. “Master Babidi, it will be a waste to kill the Supreme Kai. Would you not what the honour of doing that yourself? Even better, let him experience the terror of Majin Buu once again before he dies by your hand.”

With that reasoning, Vegeta was allowed to do as he pleased, he would still be gathering energy for Majin Buu regardless. “Give me a direct answer, Tifa. Will you fight me or not?” he demanded as he pointed a finger at Tifa in declaration.

videl was definitely offended when super buu said she smelled like mr. satan. she is like this close to beating her dad’s ass every time he speaks

A Way with Words

It had always come to this time and time again. After so long, it wasn’t a surprise that Goku would leave whenever he felt like. She persuaded herself at a time that Goku’s training came first, before the people he loved. Why would he leave consistently without ever dropping by then? Vegeta at least checked in quite often, but Goku, it appeared, forgot about her and the boys.

After Buu, he had come back and was here for what was seven long years without him. She had gone so long without support when raising Goten, and now that he was here, she was assured things would change. They did to an extent.

The first several months, he was home off and on. Traveling from Kai’s to Vegeta’s to their home, she never knew where he was hiding about. Her sons seemed to know more than she did as well. Why was that everywhere she went that people were either hiding things from her or avoiding her at all costs? Was she that crazy? She didn’t believe so. Then maybe she was interpreting too much into everything. That certainly could be the situation. However, she wouldn’t confess that to anyone, not even Goku. She couldn’t have him discovering that she was struggling daily.

---

Going about her typical routine, she’s occupied with cleaning around the house. It felt nice having the house all to herself. But still, no matter how hard she strived to distract herself, she felt empty. Observing Gohan and Videl, she craved a relationship like they had. Even if they had something like Bulma and Vegeta, that would have been sufficient for the two than what she and her husband had.

She didn’t resent Goku for his time spent away from them. She understood that he had pure intentions, but she couldn’t let go of the fact that they had been separated from each other for years. He was nevertheless leaving whenever he desired. That hurt the most. Did he not realize how isolated she got without him being around? Even if he was naive and innocent, she craved for the times he was around to hold and give her words of affirmation. With him, even a lot went a long way for her. She never knew what to suspect from her Goku, despite knowing him for decades.

What she and Goku had, she wouldn’t replace for anything in the universe. Every time she reminiscence about their past, butterflies filled her stomach. She absolutely knew she made the right choice in marrying him, even when he drove her up the wall. Plus, he gave her two sons; she couldn’t ask for anything more from him.

So many people assumed that Goku knew nothing about love and satisfying her needs. Funny to say that after their first time, he was hooked, spending the rest of the night making sweet love to her.

It unquestionably wasn’t a priority of his. Still, when they had time, it was something they jumped at the opportunity of doing.

While she recalled their moments together, Chi-Chi was startle by someone from behind.

“Heya! Chi-Chi!”

Darting her head, she glances behind her. She recognized that voice too well. Still, she craves to see his face. “Mhm, I missed you.” Her expression softens. Placing a hand on his face opposite of her, she pecks his cheek. “I wish you would have came by sooner...it’s been lonely without you around.”

Maintaining his calm demeanor, Goku grins. “I missed you too, Chi-Chi.”

Sighing, she inclines her head, looking away. He said things like that so often, but did he ever mean them? “Hm.”

Perceiving something was off, he splits the silence between them. “Chi-Chi, what’s wrong?” He loathed when she was upset at him. More than that, he simply aspires to see her smiling. “You can talk to me.” Taking hold of her chin, he tenderly lifts her gaze to meet his eyes.

She is a bit astonished that he knows that something is wrong. Yet, she refuses to say anything. If he wanted her to speak, he would have to do more than that.

She would still persist, even when he tried making her look at him.

Because he could smell her emotions, he presses his lips together due to her body secreting hormones. He hated when Chi-Chi grew moody, and usually, he would try to withdraw if possible. Today, it was different. He acknowledges this was his doing and had to take accountability for it.

Picking her up, he wanders her over to the couch with her in his arms, bridal style. “Chi-Chi, please speak to me. I don’t understand what I did wrong, but I know I did something.”

Chi-Chi continues holding a grudge. She would not give in this time, not when he would go ahead and do it again.

“Chi-Chi! Come on! Please talk to me! I don’t know what I did, but I hate seeing you like this….”

Crossing her arms, she huffs. “Hmph!” Yes, she didn’t mind him going off and training when he needed to, but leaving whenever he desired wasn’t necessary. Didn’t he see that? He would take any opportunity to walk away and train with whoever he could.

“...” Sighing, he strokes her hair. The only thing he could do for now was consoling her. Eventually, she may talk if he got lucky. He didn’t see that occurring, knowing how unreasonable she could be.

They sat there for an hour or more before she fell asleep in his arms. Assuming that staying with her would make things better with her, he carries her to bed.

Setting her down, he delicately took everything off that he deemed uncomfortable. Hoping this way, she would get the most out of a nap. He, too, climbs into bed with her and pulls her into his arms. Rather than sleeping, he lays awake, striving to put together why she was upset at him for. He didn’t understand women and how they did things, but it certainly seemed like a thing Chi-Chi would try to make him do.

---

Gradually stirring up, Chi-Chi’s eyes flutter. Promptly, she’s able to tell that she’s in the bedroom. Why? Stretching, she abruptly jumps, hearing Goku’s voice.

“You’re awake! You were out for a while!”

Cocking her head, she glimpses back. “What? Did you just lay here?”

“Yeah! I figured that you would get upset if I put you to bed and left. You were quite mad earlier...I still have no clue what I did wrong exactly. I’m guessing it’s to do with training.”

“So...you stayed awake the entire time?”

Nodding, she pulls her, so she faces him. “Mhm, yeah. I wanted to figure out why you refused to talk earlier...I must have really upset you, Chi-Chi...I’m sorry….”

Staring into his eyes, she searches for any sign that he won’t desert her again. Then, she recognizes that it wasn’t her Goku. That wasn’t who he was. She was taking away a part of who he was if she kept him, prisoner, at their house. She didn’t like to imagine it that way. “Hm, no. Don’t be. I’m sorry for being so hard on you, Goku…” Bowing her head, she exhales. “I was mad that you’re gone for weeks, months at a time without stopping in. It’s difficult, Goku...I want to support you...and I do. It’s...the fact...I get jealous that you put more time and effort into your training than you do when you’re with me.”

Listening, observing, and processing what she all disclosed, he patiently waits for her to get it all out of her system. He knew that she hated him leaving whenever to train, but he lacked the awareness of ever knowing how she truly felt when he left. It didn’t help that he was gone for seven years, not long ago either. She truly did deserve more than he gave her.

Then, he was doing it all for her. “...I see. I apologize for making you feel that way, Chi-Chi. It was never my intention to hurt you. I can never go back in time and give you what you deserve. Everything I did was for you and the boys. You were the one thing that kept me motivated, Chi-Chi.”

Tears forming in her eyes, she clasps onto her husband. “Oh, Goku!” His words meant so much to her. It wasn’t often that he said things like that to her, but it meant everything to her when he did. It made her remember that he had a way with words when he tried.

Filled with joy, she wails into his shirt. She couldn’t restrain herself anymore; she needed to let it all out.

Sensing that everything would be fine for now, he tenses up since he didn’t expect her to cry. Swiftly adapting to the situation, he strokes her hair, attempting to soothe her down. “Chi-Chi, it’s alright. There’s no need to cry.”

Pulling away, she gazes lovingly into his eyes. “...What...what you said meant so much to me…..”

Goku pecks her forehead. “And you mean the world to me.”
