Dragon Ball GT 31

✨GT Stands for Galactic Tanuki✨

✨Is this episode worse than “The Roaming Lake”?✨

We’re still in Suguroku Space, so yes.  Yes, this episode is worse.

✨Positivity Page✨

But at least we manage to get out of Suguroku Space.  Goku rolls the die for his next turn, but he accidentally tosses it into molten lava, which is there for some reason.  That’s when the die cries out and Goku discovers that it’s alive.

As it turns out, the die and Suguro are a pair of “space tanuki” (no, really!) who got stranded in this dimension a long time ago.  The disembodied voices who seem to run this place forced Suguro to play this game, and if he won 540,000 times, they would let him go.  But Suguro and his son are shape-shifters, so they used their powers to cheat, with the son disguising himself as one of the dice. 

The thing is, in the last episode, Suguro boasted that he had won nearly 33 million times, and he’s still stuck here, so I doubt the voices were ever going to live up to their word. Anyway, once the cheating is exposed, the entire dimension begins to collapse, which would be bad, except it lifts the restriction that prevented Goku from using his powers during the game.  So Goku tells the tanuki to hold on while he blasts open a path to another dimension with a Kamehameha blast.  Why would a ki blast allow them to escape this dimension?  Who cares, as long as they get out of this stupid place?

The only catch is that Goku has no idea where they’ll end up, but he figures anywhere is better than here, and he’s absolutely right.  They wind up in some other dimension full of meteors, but that doesn’t sound like a big deal if Goku can blow them up.  It doesn’t matter, because now that Goku has left Suguroku Space, the Supreme Kai can intervene, and teleport him to the World of the Kais, which he was trying to do when this mess first started. 

But why did the Kais want to bring Goku here in the first place?  Well, the Baby crisis has gotten out of hand, and Goku is no match for Baby, so the Elder Kai wants Goku to train here before he goes back to take another crack at Baby.  And what sort of training does the old Kai have in mind?  Is he going to make Goku sit still while he dances around him for five hours, then read comics in front of him for another twenty hours? 

Hell no.  No, this is Dragon Ball GT.  Abandon all hope, ye who enter here, and say hello to the

☕☕☕C̶̢̀͑̊ O̵̟̓ F̵̞͔̒̓ F̷͖̀ E̶̳̞̼̊ E̸̬̲̎ ̴̣͎̭́̏G̸̨̠̦͐͝ R̴̯̯͓͛́ Į̴̬̙̅͠ N̸͙̼̂̄ D̸͉̲̄̓̈ E̴͍̞͌͜ R̶͎̼̦͆☕☕☕

Say, what’s happening with Pan?  Why it’s another example of....

✨ “Good” “Ideas”, Poorly Executed✨

So Pan is the deuteragonist of this series, and with Goku out of action, it naturally falls to her to take charge and hold the line until he returns.  It’s just like what Tien and Piccolo and Vegeta and Gohan used to do in the old days, except Pan is a bratty nine-year-old with no experience in these matters.

But we’ve seen her come up with a few good ideas before, right?  No?  We didn’t?  Well, let’s give her a chance.  Here’s her plan to foil Baby’s scheme.

STEP ONE: Have Majin Buu disguise himself as Superstar Barry Karn.  This way, he can sneak aboard the spaceship taking Tuffleized Earthlings to Planet Tuffle. Pan and Mister Satan can ride along inside Buu’s body, as you do.

This immediately falls apart when Buu cuts in line and meets Krillin, one of the few people on Earth who would recognize him in spite of his altered face.  But Krillin never picks up on it.  I don’t know if the Tuffle eggs chewed up his brain or he just honestly doesn’t remember what Buu looks like after all these years.

Oh, and here’s Marron and 18.  Thanks for coming out today, ladies. They miss their flight because only so many people can get on board, and Buu had the last spot in line.  So, despite everything, Step one actually worked.  Okay.

STEP TWO:

  Once they’ve arrived on the Tuffle Planet, Pan reveals her strategy to throw laxatives into the mouths of all of the Tuffleized Earthlings.  This will cause them to forcibly eject the Tuffle eggs in their stomachs, and they’ll be free.

Okay, first, the eggs are in their brains, not their stomachs, although Pan wasn’t around when Baby explained that part, so I can’t really blame her for not knowing that.  Second, I like that she just assumes everyone is going to stand around and hold their mouths open while she tosses pills at them.  Third, why would Baby just stand around and watch her do this?

I get that this is supposed to be a stupid plan, and it’s being played for laughs, but this is a little too stupid for the situation.   Baby has infested the entire human race with alien parisites.  He’s controlling Pan’s parents right now.   This is all kind of dark, actually, at least when compared to the goofy shit we saw in the early episodes of GT.  Pan’s laxitive attack might have been appropriate for the tone set on Imecka, but it really doesn’t work here.  This is like when Oolong suggested they flee the Earth in a spaceship before the Cell Games.  Or when Yajirobe blew off the Saiyan invasion and tricked the media into buying him free food.  Except those were gag characters doing dumb shit on the side.  Pan is literally one of the stars of this show.  It’s Goku, then Pan.  She should be at least as capable as Gohan was when he was her age. 

We’ve reached a point in GT where even the characters are complaining about how stupid the ideas are in this show.  Goku hated Suguroku Space more than I do, and he’s not too thrilled about grinding coffee for the Kais while his adopted planet turns into a Tuffle army.  And Mr. Satan knows Operation Ex-Lax is a stupid plan, but he can’t bear to say it because it’s literally the only thing keeping his granddaughter going right now.  Satan’s plan was to hide inside Buu and wait two months for Goku and Pan to come back, and look how well that turned out.

Even Baby is stymied by Pan’s attack.  She literally just jumps out in front of everyone and starts throwing pills, and Baby is like “What the fuck?”  Then he quickly shuts her down by sending Videl and Gohan to murder her.  

But then someone shows up to rescue her, and it’s...

Uub!  We haven’t seen him since Episode 1, when he officially became the Earth’s protector.  I can’t say he’s been doing a great job of it so far, but at least he’s on the case. 

✨The Blade Braxton Memorial Haiku*✨

Run while you can, Uub!

Coffee and laxitives are

Our only hope now!

[chronic-shinposter]

I'm not sure about all of this, but can you give me a hint? The kaioshins dress very tightly and modestly because going out without clothes is considered sinful???? Was there such a thing in canon, or did fans make up a similar thing that kaioshin are like holy gods terrified of debauchery?

Warning: I go on a big ass essay that strays from your main question and of course everything listed here is opinions but with some anime/manga references to back up my thoughts. As a response to my coatless Shin post, that was just me being silly LOL. However this totally gives me an opportunity to talk about characters and I am all about that shit

A summary of my essay though: there is a moral code implied, but there's nothing specifically stated, and it's not so specific that it's about clothes and perviness and stuff. Every Supreme Kai (in canon) has a different idea of how to honor their position and their personal morals can be inspired by their duty but it doesn't mean they are one to one. Everything else is up in the air and are just personal conclusions (like, Supreme Kais all dress a specific way so it's totally possible this is a requirement, but there is nothing in canon about this) How someone treats the Supreme Kai role depends on the person though; some are way more relaxed and others are very uptight. Interestingly, sin IS mentioned in at least one of the English translations of the manga. (right to left)

Much like religion IRL though there are people who will use these codes and behaviors, meant to spread goodness and honor, to be toxic assholes. I actually kind of hate the general description of Supreme Kais in the DB wiki honestly because it goes with the assumption that every Supreme Kai (and adjacent role) is a good person when I don't think that's really true, it's just that all of them have similar jobs and their culture encourages politeness. Quite frankly, most of them kind of have a pole jammed up their ass and look down on others all too frequently (which like, they're gods, but in the context of the series they are SO UPPITY HOLY SHIT). Let's look at Gowasu, Elder Kai, Zamasu, and of course Shin. I think they're a good spectrum of the behavioral code in my opinion

Gowasu

Gowasu is one of the oldest acting Supreme Kais in the current canon. He is very polite and proper, good-natured, but has relaxed a lot over time and also just wants to have fun (bro wants to be a Godtuber in his retirement). I think because of his introduction, we kind of see that the standard for Supreme Kais is that they are mellow, like drinking tea, and tend to look at the little things. They very much have normal lives and might even teeter on the more "nothing ever happens" side, but time and peace can introduce them to ignorance just as much as inexperience can, leading Gowasu to make lapses in judgment about who he chooses as his successor.

Gowasu is honestly one of the most grounded Supreme Kais we've been introduced to because he is reflective of his mistakes and even remorseful, receptive to criticism and even questions the foundations of the god hierarchy in Dragon Ball Super. He also doesn't react much when approached casually by mortals, which shows that he doesn't believe himself to be above others even though, cosmically, he is. He is also, like, the only Supreme Kai we see actively get along with Shin as an equal even though age and experience lends him to be the "superior" one

Overall, Gowasu is experienced and looks at the good side of everything, but he is also casual and likes to be goofy. He very much understands that life is important but what use is that if you don't get to be a silly goober sometimes?

Elder Kai

Elder Kai is more on the extreme end in which him getting shit done is more like... an exception rather than a rule, he much prefers the lazy lifestyle that being so high on the cosmic ladder offers and he's not really afraid to show it. He is experienced (though we don't know if he was THE Supreme Kai of his time) but he does not give a shit about any moral standards, very much on the extreme end of the "life's about having fun" line

Elder Kai is openly a pervert-- in the original DBZ he says he uses his abilities to watch women from afar, he has nudie mags, eagerly accepts Goku's request when Goku promises him he can grab Bulma's boobs (I think this ended up getting dubbed out later lol). He believes in honoring age, which he shows when berating Shin for their difference in wisdom, but also in taking responsibility to give himself up first after Shin offers his own life to save Goku's.

He is not a bad person and holds respect for what it means to be a Supreme Kai, but he is no stranger to being a creepy fuck. He's a good example in that a Supreme Kai (past or future) does not really have to be what is considered "pure" to do the job and they have the free will to enact what they feel is the proper thing to do.

Zamasu

Elder Kai's all about having fun in life, while Zamasu goes to the opposite logical extreme: life is about perfection, and anything less does not deserve to be at all. I think Zamasu shows where this same behavioral code can go, because by all means he kind of checks all the boxes: he's polite, shown to respect his superior, takes his position as apprentice very seriously and similarly intends to take his role as Supreme Kai very seriously. He finds himself to be the most pure, but this idea is something he is so attached to that he ends up being one of the most corrupted of them all.

Similar to Gowasu, he is not above questioning the status quo-- he doesn't really put much heart into the Gods of Destruction and believes that holy beings such as the Supreme Kais should be in control of everything. In the manga, Zamasu views Shin and Kibito very highly at first because he thought that they were the ones that defeated Majin Buu. Of course, Shin corrects him and puts all credit to Goku & gang, which confuses the FUCK out of Zamasu because he believes Supreme Kais to be, well, the most supreme. Shin reflects in that the job should've been for the God of Destruction (in the manga here they loosely do imply that Beerus was asleep), but Zamasu is like "nah lol"

Zamasu weirds the fuck out of Shin by implying anything that exists is unnecessary, but kind of brushes it off because well that's Gowasu's thing to deal with LOL. (Sidenote this is why everyone should read the manga because they actually involve Shin in a very much Supreme Kai centric plot and it is actually nuts to me they don't do this in the anime. The anime arc is def my favorite arc in Super but they still kinda do Shin dirty)

I say all this to say that Zamasu's train of thought isn't exactly uncommon because the Supreme Kais are kind of in this culture where they are the most supreme, but most of them do have an understanding of nuance and understand why, despite being "the best", they serve a role and that role does not serve them. Zamasu doesn't have this nuance and we see where that goes as he makes Goku('s body) to be the exception to the unnecessary beings rule in his head

As an honorable mention, I want to say that Kibito isn't too different in this train of thought: he definitely finds himself to be superior to others, but he values Shin's authority so much that he is much more receptive to that nuance than someone like Zamasu, who eventually dismisses Gowasu's teaching. The worst Kibito would not be anywhere close to Zamasu because Kibito still believes in goodness outside of himself.

Shin

Shin I think is the best example of a Supreme Kai with a pure moral code that, in turn, is also not corrupted by that idea of purity. Similar to Zamasu, he's polite, shown to respect his superiors and his elders, and he takes his role very seriously. Shin is (from what I understand) the youngest Supreme Kai and also the newest, which also might be why high morals is so important to him in the current canon.

He respects Elder Kai as his ancestor, but is also horrified to learn about Elder Kai using his powers to be a creepy fuck, openly berates him for this, and reacts in disgust when Elder Kai tries to gift him a nudie mag (as Kibito Kai). Shin also states he's worried about how Kibito views the mortals, but believes him to have a good spirit and puts a lot of importance in that-- it's why Shin goes out of his way to meet Goku, and in the future timeline, why he goes out of his way to meet Trunks.

Shin is similarly disgusted by Zamasu when he reveals his true spirit and condemns him in the manga, believing that Zamasu broke the line of what it means to be a Supreme Kai at all. His values very much align with the Supreme Kai's job to preserve life and at the same time understanding that destruction is part of that sacred cycle. Shin deeply respects the current god hierarchy and doesn't question it; he just wants to do the right thing.

Though Shin takes his responsibility as Supreme Kai very seriously, he is pretty receptive to the fact that his universe has mortals more physically powerful than him and he is even thankful for this. He takes no offense to how casually he's treated by Goku & gang and listens to them. Shin, unlike other Supreme Kais we've seen, views himself explicitly as a servant to the universe; his life is just one part of it and if he has to give it up or to knock himself down a few pegs then that's what he'll do. I think we can even say he is a little too passionate about this idea, since he's literally offered his life to preserve another's at least 2 times now (one for Goku in Buu saga, another one in the Moro arc in the manga) to Beerus's dismay lol, and this doesn't count all the times he's gone out of his way or put himself in the way to save others from danger

One of my favorite Shin moments that I think captures who he is at a whole is at the end of ToP where it's just Universe 7 and Universe 11 left, and he leans over to say hello to Khai. I don't think this is a Supreme Kai thing, this is a Shin thing. He doesn't say hello because it's his duty to always be polite, he says hello because it is giving kindness in a tense situation.

in a nutshell

The different Supreme Kais (and adjacent roles) might have some similarities and I think their upbringing can give them a proper attitude, but ultimately they're all very different people and have different ideas of what it means to be a Supreme Kai at all. I'm sure there's a Supreme Kai out there in history that was always naked or a piece of shit or something but actually totally kicked ass at their job

Thank you for reading LMAOOO I just wanted to talk about them. Hope u enjoyed

[takkton]

i had no reason to make a single one of these but im glad i did

[kaioshin-kai]

Oh... Zamasu is so grumpy..

eepy peepaw Elder Kai and Susanoo!!

[muses-of-the-memory]

"Thank you, you two..." Prince Adam said until he and Belle saw that me and Zizzi were already gone from the castle and back to the Time Nest in Conton City. Sultan and Chip were going to miss them, but Mrs. Potts, Lumiere and Cogsworth knew it was for the best.

"Welcome back, you two!" Chronoa said. "Beast is back into his prince form, and everyone has become human again." Future Trunks said. "Yeah. Those two do seem made for each other." Elder Kai said. "And that Belle, she always seems to be ready for a little adventure." Chronoa said as Tokitoki flew down and cooed for us to see them dance in the Ballroom after being married in the Time Scroll. Lumiere and Cogsworth were fighting over who said that Belle would break the spell.

"Are they gonna live happily ever after, Mama?" Chip asked being held by Mrs. Potts and Maurice was watching them dance. "Of course, my dear. Of course." Mrs. Potts confirmed. "Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?" Chip asked, jokingly.

"Wow... That was quite a tale as old as time…" Future Trunks stated. "Yes, so says the song as old as rhyme… Beauty and the Beast." Elder Kai said.

Zizzi would dropped into a tree as she was slowly making her way down the tree. Wearing a cloak before she started to walk around a small village to look around and just to see what was here. Smelling some fresh bread as she started to walk over to the bakery. (Belle)

As Zizzi had appeared in a village of Paris, everyone had started to wake up in the morning, and greet each other with a "Bonjour". All the while, a "most peculiar mademoiselle" named Belle was in the village.

The baker then comes out and approaches Zizzi. "Bonjour, madame." He greeted. "Good morning, Belle." He said to Belle. "Morning, monsieur." Belle greeted. "And hello to you, too, Miss?" Belle spoke to Zizzi.

How I'd Rewrite DBZ's Fusion Saga

I like the rest of the Buu Arc, but the Fusion Saga's a hot mess (the part with Super Buu). This is how I wish the story had gone.

Buildup

Gotenks is hyped a little less. He's still presented as stronger than Goku and their best chance to beat Buu, but he's not stronger than Super Saiyan 3 as a regular Super Saiyan or anything. Piccolo figures if he can reach Super Saiyan 2, he'll be able to beat Buu. This adds some tension to his training and to the part of the fight where he screws around in weaker forms. Is he really on Buu's level or not? And the emphasis on Super Saiyan 2 makes it more shocking when he blows right past that to 3.

The scene from the anime where Krillin buys time for everyone and Buu turns them into candy anyway is here, cause that isn't actually in the manga. Goku and Gohan are watching through the crystal ball hoping they can revive them with the Dragon Balls, but Supreme Kai says no. If any power in the universe could bring the Kais or all of Buu's victims back "from the outside", he would have done it millennia ago, but once Buu eats someone they're absorbed into him. Even killing him wouldn't separate anyone.

Goku's horrified and demands to go back to Earth, and Supreme Kai wishes there was a way… then Elder Kai says just give him your life force if you want it that bad. Facepalming at everyone's blank stares, he explains Supreme Kais can trade their life for someone else's. Supreme Kai does it, Goku's returned to life, and we get the gag where Supreme Kai is still there cause this is the afterlife. However, Elder Kai tells Goku not to go back to Earth yet because his Super Saiyan 3 power is limited and he needs to save it for the right moment. (He really wants his champion Gohan to get all the glory, but he doesn't say so till later.)

Once Gotenks goes Super Saiyan 3 he's stronger than Buu, but it's immediately clear it won't last. His ki is erratic, burning up inside. Super Saiyan 3 isn't supposed to exist. There's a reason it looks so ridiculous, shortens fusion time and Goku can't use it right with a living body. It's pushing things too far, past Saiyan limits, past any mortal's limit (and it's Toriyama taking the piss on his own powerscaling, just like Goten and Trunks being Super Saiyans). The point is it wouldn't last a whole episode. Just like canon he defuses just as he's about to land a big blow.

Gohan arrives. Unlike canon, he doesn't play with his food. First, we just saw that with Gotenks. Second, that was the mistake that got his dad killed with Cell. Third, the stakes are even higher: all his friends and family are either killed by Buu or about to be. Lastly, Gohan's supposed to be all grown up in this scene, so why is he acting like a child? It's insulting to his character to have him do the same thing again. The outcome is similar, but the mood is different. Eventually Buu explodes, baits Gotenks into fusing, and absorbs him and Piccolo like in canon.

But this time, it's part of the plan.

The Better Buu Fight

We get a flashback. Piccolo's been talking to everyone telepathically. Gohan told him about Buu's absorption ability, and Piccolo figures he'll try to absorb them if he's losing. Piccolo's absorbed people himself, so he understands how it works, and he has a little of that Dragon Clan magic in him. He can put a spell on Gotenks so he'll be able to move around inside Buu when he gets absorbed, and hopefully get everyone out. Then Gohan and Gotenks can kill him and save the world.

Unfortunately, there are two snags in the plan. First, Buu's magic is more powerful than Piccolo's. Gotenks gets defused and Buu takes most of his power, leaving Goten and Trunks alone inside. Second, Piccolo underestimated Buu's appetite; he's absorbed too. Gohan is all alone to fight a hyper-powered eater of worlds.

Here's where we get into how Buu's absorption works. He doesn't change outfits or faces or personalities, he doesn't get smarter. Erratic, impatient predator Buu is way more interesting than Cell 2.0. What he can do is read memories. He taunts Gohan with these like a deep-sea fish dangling a lure, not fully understanding them but knowing they get a reaction. Stolen techniques, voice impressions, callbacks to previous moments. He's got Chi-Chi, Piccolo, Krillin and Goten in there. There's a LOT to work with.

This is the big centerpiece fight of the Fusion Saga, Gohan's first even fight ever, a grieving son vs a cornered animal, both using every trick in their arsenal. There are no Potaras in this version. Gohan is the world's last hope. Their powers are equal, but combine the emotional warfare with all Buu's broken abilities and Gohan has no chance at winning. He doesn't have to, though. He just has to survive long enough for Goten and Trunks to pull everyone out of him… however long that takes.

The whole time Goku's watching from the Kai world. Now he knows how all his friends feel when he fights. He was sidelined against the androids, sure, but he knew he had a way to get stronger. This time there's nothing he can do but watch. But he's amazed at how strong and brave his son's gotten. Even Goten's doing his part. He regrets not being there to watch them grow. The story doesn't dwell on it but it's there.

Meanwhile Goten and Trunks are inside Buu, having similar adventure hijinks Goku and Vegeta did in canon, complete with Trunks' fear of worms. There's underlying tension in the silliness, though, cause instead of seasoned veteran heroes it's these two little kids in the world's strangest place. Occasionally there's booming noises from the battle outside. They both put on brave faces for each other. Still, this is mostly a break from the Gohan vs Buu nonstop action, and a last bit of adventure before the series ends.

Eventually, just as Gohan uses up the last of his strength, they make it to where all the pods are stored. Before they can blast anyone down, though, Buu appears inside and defends them. There's nothing the boys can do… until Piccolo bursts out of his pod and grabs him from behind. He used his spell on himself to stay conscious and waited for the right moment. Buu shakes him off fast, but not fast enough to stop the boys from freeing everyone. As Buu howls in anger and confusion, they childishly decide to free Good Buu to see what will happen.

As everyone escapes, Buu's roars shake the Earth. Everyone congratulates themselves on saving everybody and their friends… except Buu's reforming. He's weaker, yes, and less intelligent, no match for Gohan or Gotenks at full power… but they're not. Everyone's completely drained. Panting and bent, they stare up at Kid Buu charging up his Planet Burst and know there's nothing they can do about it. As the ball comes down they feel Goku's faint ki. He's back on Earth after Elder Kai finally admitted he was just making things more dramatic, but Super Saiyan 3 would take too long. He only has time to save Dende and Mr. Satan. Gohan thinks to himself, "We softened him up for you, Dad. Do what you do best." The Earth is no more.

Supreme Kai teleports Vegeta to his planet, and the Kid Buu fight plays out like canon, except Goku never says he could've killed Fat Buu at any time in their last fight. That was dumb. He tried his best, he just couldn't do it alone. And yes, the god sacrificing himself to bring the main character back to life does nothing on Earth (Supreme Kai could've gone to Earth to save people like he did in the anime) and makes the Kid Buu fight harder. One last gag for the road.

What's the point of this?

Goku was right to give the next generation a chance and trust them in a real battle. They can't live their whole lives in his shadow. But just because his sons are ready doesn't mean he needs to disappear. Different generations have to live together and work with each other. That's what happens here. The Fusion Saga and Kid Buu Saga feel more like two halves of an extended final battle. With Piccolo's help, Gohan and Gotenks finish the first leg of the fight so Goku and Vegeta can take it home. Neither group can beat Buu alone. It'd also explain why Goku's fine coming back at the end, because he's learned that lesson too.

P.S. I wish I could've put Vegito in somehow, I love the fanservice, but I think it's worth it not having him. I also like the idea that no one actually beats Buu at full power one-on-one. He's the god-killing final villain, he should feel intimidating. And I'm sure the Toei movie makers would've loved being the only ones to have a Goku/Vegeta fusion. They made some good stuff at the end of the Buu Arc, throw them a bone lol.

Vegito x Reader

So this is just a little thing in my series of x readers I'm doing. In this one your an old friend of Goku's, and both he and Vegeta think highly of you, so when they combine to form Vegito, those feelings blossom into a crush. During an unbeatable fight, they come to the conclusion that fusion is the best option. Luckily Shin is there ready to allow them his potara earrings. Now onto the story!

Vegeta and Goku were in the heat of battle, and they were losing. Goku pleaded for Vegeta to grab onto him so they could escape, but Vegeta's pride refused. Goku had no choice but to grab him and IT the heck out of there.

They arrived on the Supreme Kai planet, where they found Kabito, Supreme Kai, Elder Kai, and you. You were Goku's old friend, and one of the few beings Vegeta actually tolerated. It was a relief to see you safe, but the worried expression you wore wasn't. "Are you guys ok? That was a tough battle," you asked, eyeing them up and down. "We're ok Y/N. Hey, Supreme Kai, can we borrow your earrings?" Goku was obviously ready to get back out there, he had full faith Vegito could beat that guy.

Vegeta, on the other hand, was having none of it. No way was he fusing with Kakarot, especially after he fought Jiren, and almost won(keep thinkin' that buddy). "I'll do it!" You called out, much to everyone's surprise. "I think my fusion with Goku would be better than Vegeta's anyway~," you taunted him. "Ugh. Fine. I'll do it," he grumbled, snatching the earring out of Kakarot's hand and roughly snapping it on.

There was a bright light, and much to your pleasure, there stood the magnificent Vegito. He was stunning. Standing heroically in the light, a confident smirk upon his attractive face. He made your heart soar, and it saddened you that you only got to see him in snippets of battles. "Well, time to take this guy down." Vegito said, and then he was off. You let out a sigh. You got to see his glory for a few seconds and then it was gone. Who knows how long it would be till they fused again. If they ever fused again. But that's what you get for having a crush on a fusion.

About an hour and a half later they returned. No, not they, he. Wait, what? "Vegito?" you asked, obviously confused. This didn't make sense. The fusion should have worn off by now. "Why haven't you defused?" Shin asked, equally confused. "Hu?" Vegito looked down at his form, then brought his head back up with a light shrug. 'I think this is a miracle,' you thought to yourself. Vegito stuck as, well, Vegito? What could be better?! "We should find a way to reverse this as soon as possible," Kabito stated, not ready to deal with the trouble that will inevitably come with this being. "No-!" you blurted, then quickly clasped your hands over your mouth, face red with embarrassment. "Well I didn't think you liked me that much~" the sayian teased, putting an arm around your shoulder. "Sh-shut up!" You yelled, turning around and burring your face into his gi. "Hey it's fine. I know, I'm irresistible," he put his hands on his hips and smirked down a you.

You looked up into his obsidion eyes. They had their normal beautiful sparkle, but they also had a gleam of something else in them. Something, longing, maybe even a little lustful. No. You had to be imagining it. No way he shared your feelings for him. It was impossible. Right?

"Let's go ask Bulma. Maybe she can check it out while you guys do some research," Vegito then picked you up bridal-style, and off you were.

You arrived at, not Bulma's place. Wait, weren't you supposed to be at Capsule Corp. right now? But instead you were in an unfamiliar room. Vegito set you down and you looked up at him confused. "The fusion's permanent," he sated darkly, a slight shadow over his eye. His face quickly lit up as he smiled down at you. "Well, I guess that means you can't get rid of me Y/N~." He was starting to scare you know. Not that you didn't like where this was going, it just didn't seem real. Too good to be true, I guess. "Wait, are you serious? Like, actually? You're not pulling my leg right now?" You questioned him, to which he rapped his arms around you and smirked. "If I were joking, would I do this?" he then leaned in and kissed you passionately. After you parted you stared into his eyes. "I love you Vegito," you said to him, seeing the lust in his eyes.

notes abt kais & supreme kais 2 self

readmore cuz m' tagging for organization (srry tags)

KAIOSHINS + KAIS

Every universe has Kais of 4 directions (North, East, South, West) - Kais are born from normal apples & not a golden one. These apples can be susceptible to certain dangers & possible disruption likely causing more unstable Kai (ref. Zamasu) -They're looked over & taught by the Grand Kai, whom one can be appointed as the successor of. - Kais can become apprentices to Supreme Kai to be their successor; there is now a background check process to see ones mental health. - North, east, south, west are simply the directions of the universe these kai will observe. Observing & Supervising the living worlds of their quadrant. - The Kais are alone at their posts. Some more isolated than others. (Doubt loneliness is suited for everyone) They might have visits with each other & head back to the Sacred World when able.

Every universe has a Supreme Kai, God of Destruction, & Angel attendant to said god. -Supreme Kai are born from golden apples & fruit, do not relax, these apples too can be susceptible to the same issues as Kai's. Their added bonus is their golden peels + interiors, protecting them and keeping many pure even with bruised apples. -Similar to their Kai counterparts they can oversee any living world where they differ is their observation & supervision of the "Other World" -They work alongside their God of Destruction, likely informing them of what planets are due for destruction; possibly advising them as well. --POWERS-- -Possess the power of creation to a galactic level, manifesting objects from nothing & the ability to heal living beings -Some have advance knowledge in various areas, fighting, martial arts, technology, etc. -Can teleport via the phrase "Kai Kai" -Can read minds via telepathy & speak to said minds -Telekinesis recorded -Time travel (These guys just keep adding onto their prowess wow) -Fusion (Which I'm still trying to understand fully, various ways to do it) -Godly Ki (The kind people here tell me its just a more divine energy that can be masked) - & Likely more things outside my knowledge as of right now.

There use to be a process in which like their Kai counterparts, 4 directions of Supreme Kai would be together & mentored under one Supreme Kai. After the "Majin Tragedy" a new order was put in place: - One active supreme kai, they may have an attendant. (Though in my opinion it's technically two with the point below) - Elderly Supreme Kai may remain in their post even after their student is given their position, they become a mentor & elder to be respected. Both the active Supreme Kai & attendant will aid this kai and help care for them in their older age.

SACRED WORLD & ACADEMY RESIDING IN "NULL REALM" OR MULTIVERSE - Kais & Kaioshins reside on a planet known as the "Sacred World", on this planet they're not referred to with such titles as they're considered "core people" as they're born from fruit cores. (It's like a cute pun) - The people born to be Kais & Kaioshins are taken to "Kai Temple" (Titled as such due to the buildings structure, I've heard others just call it the temple) -It is at the "Kai Temple" they are overseen and mentored by the Kais suited for their divinity. IE. Kais = Grand Kai Supreme Kai = Grand Supreme Kai (Creative I know.) - Live what's been described as leisurely lives as "Sacred World" is very peaceful & pristine usually. -What well call the "Academy" is described as a grandiose castle structure. They study various things, likely pertaining to interests and their professions as Kais. (At least I hypothesize, to put things in an allegory they're the rich kids who attend private schools with ensured jobs in big corp.)

A WARNING TO KEEP IN MIND Kais & their Supreme counterparts tend to only intervene when the balance of the universe & planets are at risk. It's a common belief if Supreme Kai is spotted in a mortal space that a bad omen is ahead. Keep eyes out for possible Destruction God's & Angel sightings if you see a Supreme Kai.

Kais themself cannot physically come, but many report hearing their voices, guidance, & advice during these times which at times helped, at times did nothing, & at most misfortunate made it worse. !They say you should report to someone if you hear the voice of a kai! FINAL THOUGHTS, IDEAS, & NOTES.

The divine beings of this reality are very much a curious case & unlike other I've come across albeit our old dead reality wasn't under full divine control like this one. They keep a very rigorous strict system in place valuing tradition... But it does seem with newer generations more progressive & open minded policies have been adapted which is always a win. Luckily they can still live casually outside of the responsibility of oversite and creation as they only intervene when absolutely needed, or working alongside their God of Destruction. I'm glad to learn more about this world and the beings who reside on it especially as we were graciously given a place of refuge and sanctuary, I just have to stop being so timid and venture out the temple and maybe check out the school. (But I'm really really shy and awkward at meeting people let alone divine religious figures.) SIGNOUT Dove, Age 782 of Galactic Date, 4/1/?? on Earth.

Dragon Ball GT 37

✨GT stands for Gentle Thunderstorm✨

Last time, Goku hit Baby square in the face with a 10x Kamehameha, and it didn’t do jack shit.  Then it looked like Goku got knocked out, but it turns out I was wrong on both counts.  Baby tried to deliver a killing blow on Goku, but then his body suddenly gave out on him, and he collapsed.  When they both got up, Goku concluded that his 10x Kamehameha had a delayed effect. 

Then they go at it again, and knock each other out for real this time. 

The Double KO is referenced in the title of the episode, and it feels like this is something Toei considered kind of special.  To be fair, I don’t think this has ever happened in Dragon Ball before, so it kind of is special, but... well, it’s a battle for the fate of the universe, and both guys got knocked the fuck out.  Pretty sure they’re gonna wake up and continue where they left off, so all this really amounts to is a pause in the action.  And there’s nothing special about stalling in GT.  This whole fight has felt like one big stall, and now we’ve got a stall inside a stall.  Stall-ception. 

It even starts raining on the Tuffle Planet.  It’s like someone working on this show was watching a baseball game, and there was a rain delay, and they said “Wow, this is awesome, we should make an episode of GT about this!”  And he pitched it in a meeting and they were like “A rain delay?  In Dragon Ball GT?  That’s brilliant!”

So yeah, barely anything happens in this episode.  Both sides use the lull in the battle to regroup, but it’s kind of pointless.

✨ “Good” “Ideas”, Poorly Executed✨ 

The Elder Kai says that they should use this opportunity to finish Baby off, so he dispatches Kibitoshin to Kami’s Lookout on Earth, to recover the Ultra Holy Water.  Or was that the Ultra Divine Water?  Or the Sacred Water?  It’s the same stuff they used in the Garlic Junior Saga to cure everyone infected with the Black Water Mist. 

I already touched on this before, but Baby’s whole “egg implantation” thing is just a cheap copy of the Black Water Mist from DBZ.  I’m kind of a mark for the BWM, but most fans seem to consider the Garlic Junior Saga to be the worst arc in DBZ, and it’s hard to argue the point.  GT borrowed ideas from Garlic Junior to create its most impactful saga.  And no, they didn’t improve upon the idea.  If they had, Kibitoshin wouldn’t be rummaging around the Lookout to find the same antidote they used last time. 

One thing that really irritates me is how Kibitoshin sneaks around the Lookout because Dende and Popo have been Tuffleized, and will attack him if they find out what he’s up to.  Then they actually spot him and he flees in terror, desperately splashing any water on them he can find, in the hopes that one of them is the Sacred Water.  Except Kibitoshin is much, much stronger than Dende and Popo combined, right?  Shin could take out both of these guys by himself, and that was before he fused with Kibito.  And there’s no one else on the Lookout to help them, so he’s got it made. 

Also, why didn’t the Kais try this weeks ago?  It would have been dangerous to try to use the Sacred Water on the entire population while Baby was still at large, but they could have used it on Dende and Popo, and a handful of other people, and teleported them to the Sacred World of the Kais for safety.  At least that way they would have had the antitode at hand when the time came to act.  They act like they had to wait until Baby was passed out before doing this, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know everything that’s happening on Earth.

I say this because the Elder Kai’s plan is to use the Sacred Water to liberate Trunks, Gohan, and Goten, then send them to finish off Baby.  But they could have done this like three episodes ago. 

Also, Kibitoshin proposes that he use his healing powers to restore Goku, but the Elder Kai nixes that idea, saying that Kibitoshin doesn’t have enough power to heal a Super Saiyan 4.  I’m... pretty sure that’s not how this works?

Meanwhile, Bulma is still on Baby’s side, and she uses this time to rejuvenate Baby with another dose of amplified Blutz Waves.  Wait, before, she used her equipment to focus light reflected from the Earth.  This time, it’s raining, so how is her machine working at all?  I suppose she could have worked out how to make artificial Blutz Waves.  It’s just light on a very specific wavelength, but that’s not how it worked the last time she used this thing.

Also, Baby reacts like the Blutz Wave treatment is making him stronger, and I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to work that way?  Then again, most of what we know about the Oozaru form comes from the Saiyans Saga and this GT arc, so what do I know?

She aims the rays at Baby, but we see Goku’s tail wiggle nearby, so it’s implied that he’s getting at least some benefit from this as well.  By the time Baby wakes up, Goku’s back on his feet as well, rarin’ to go.  But Goku’s mostly bluffing at this point.  He can dodge Baby’s attacks for now, but that’s about it.

So yeah, there’s a lot of lore being tossed around in this episode, but it feels like the writers only half-remember how any of it works.  Blutz Waves, healing powers, the Kaioshin’s powers, you name it.  The only thing they got right was the Sacred Water, and the only original idea in the bunch was the Double KO/rain delay, which isn’t what I’d call “good”.

✨Positivity Page✨

On the other hand, an episode where nothing happens isn’t all bad.  I do kind of enjoy this rainy Planet Tuffle aesthetic. 

Come to think of it, I don’t think Pan and Mister Satan are even in this one, and Giru’s been out of commission for a while now.  So it makes for a nice, quiet episode. 

✨Is this episode worse than “The Roaming Lake”?✨

Very little got done in “The Roaming Lake”, but at least it wasn’t a total waste of time. You want shots of people drinking water?  “The Roaming Lake” has lots of water.  You want scenes of characters bathing in life-restoring light?  Plenty of sunlight in “The Roaming Lake”.  It’s no comparison. 

The score is GT: zero, and an astonishing thirty-seven for “The Roaming Lake”.  I... honestly didn’t think it’d make it this far.

Distant thunder rolls.

Dreaming titans stir, as their

Dumbass fight resumes.

[cc-fgohan]

Future Bulma was like a mother to Future Gohan, and Gohan felt great remorse for getting Trunks killed by taking him to fight the Androids. Future Bulma taught Gohan everything she knew so he could repair and build his own time machine in case anything happened to her, but made Gohan promise to not bring her back to life when she dies.

In his Buu Saga AU, Dabura kills Future Bulma to taunt Gohan into fighting him, this makes Gohan transform into a Super Saiyan 2 for the first time. Super Saiyan 2 Gohan’s fight with Dabura gives Buu enough energy to be revived (in his pure form), leading to the Supreme Kai to take Gohan to the Z sword, Gohan breaks it as he takes it out.

Future Gohan has his potential unleashed by the Elder Kai and manages to arrive back on Earth just before Buu tries to destroy the planet, Gohan destroys Buu completely, saving the Earth and the universe.

+ Shin also makes Gohan aware of the Super Dragon Balls and the existence of other universes like U6 in their quest to find them.

later Zamasu shows up RIP, but that's for another post, lmao

I.  The rain falls lighter now and I gaze   At the dark descended onto our town.  From this mountain shelter I saw  The old mango tree struck down  By fierce lightning from the east,  Thunder rumbling in the heart  Of the guardian of the land, who thrills  To the meeting of the drought’s last sigh   With rush of rain brought by the northerlies   This ninth month of my return to my language.  II.  I will go home to my people, bringing fruits From hills I had planted to marvelous trees  I had met in my travels in other lands  On this revolving earth: fragrant pears,   Their fresh flushed cheeks, bright lemons,  Yellow and thirst-quenching in hot season.  I will go across the town’s old cemetery  Where my ancestors sleep in edgeless night.   I will not wake them in their supreme repose,  I am transient like them, simply passing through.   III.  I trust that beside the well which had been dug  By my elders, a storm lamp had been placed,   Lighting up the path toward home, the lamp-  Lighter minding the first law of neighborliness:   To help one another as best as one can in daily  acts of living, for if the lamp were put out, unlit,   Someone passing by might stumble or slide,   Fall into the neighborhood well and die.   When I pass by the well I will draw water and drink,  Give thanks to my unseen neighbor for the light.  Translation from Balak sa Binisayà  By the author

I have been very curious, do you have any specific headcanons about shinjin as a whole? If this leads to any tangents about specific characters that's fine too I just like seeing people's takes on these fruitboys 👀

❥ All supreme kais have attendants, shinjins are social beings; they can have as many individuals work for them as they please. They also aren't required to always take their attendants with them, which is why we didn't see much in the ToP.

This actually explains U7's "system" perfectly. Simply because there are no rules/limits on how many attendants a supreme kai can have. They can even just make up random jobs/positions if they like.

❥ I headcanon most shinjins are queer and polyamorous. It kinda annoys me when people act as if all shinjins should be total prudes or ignorant about sex just bc Elder Kai gets called out for being (obviously) very inappropriate. They really should be doing their research on IRL deities as they're literally based of Hindu deities.

Also how canonically shinjins have showed interests in romance/sexual attraction/etc. See also Shin & Chronoa talking about it… & how Dragon Ball fusions confirmed that offworlder hybrids can exist.

❥ Actually, this one isn't an headcanon; it's implied stuff and a thing most people forget: Shinjins can create life however they want. They are CREATOR GODS. They literally grow whole ass planets out of nothing!

❥ Because of my previous statement; shinjins can have children however they like. So people who whine about how some ships, shinjin OC's, hybrid OC's, etc… "don't make sense" need to STFU. Shinjins can do stuff however they like, when when they don't "need" to do it.

❥ (Also implied in canon.) Next to possessing god ki, shinjins possess magic as well; This is a different phenomena than ki.

❥ Because of shinjins being capable of magic, yes: They can alter their gender, appearance, etc… However, it's actually a skill and also a matter of personal taste; not all of them will be good at it persé. Some embrace aging, or embrace the original appearance they are "born" with.

❥ Shinjins need to eat/sleep just like us! Though, just not as frequently for survival.

They eat a more traditional diet based of buddhism but most are pretty liberal with it. (Though I can imagine Zamasu, Gowasu, Khai, Eyre, etc being vegetarian or even vegan.)

❥ There is actually a great gap between regular fruit shinjin and golden fruit shinjin. It's impossible to visually tell them apart, it can only be sensed through their ki signature. Golden fruit shinjin barely need any training and live much longer, meanwhile regular fruit shinjin have to work much harder. (I plan to write more about this.)

❥ My version of Eyre (waayyy post-TOP) modified himself into a cyborg. He is back even more powerful. :3
