English Translation - Luna/ルナ
Song/Lyrics/Video: Harumaki Gohan Vocal: Hatsune Miku Youtube auto-generated upload here:
Luna – English Translation
君の好きなものを考えていたよ やけに静かな夜のことです わかりきったようで何もわからないから 僕らは今も宙を泳いでいる You were thinking of your favorite things On this dreadfully silent night. I came to understand that I didn’t understand it at all. Even now, we’re swimming in space.
君の好きな色を考えていたよ さすがにそのくらいはわかるよ 夕が落ちたような空が良いかな 魚たちの飛んだ海が良いかな You were thinking of your favorite color. Even I can understand that much. I wonder if the sunset sky is alright. I wonder if the sea where the fish splash about is alright.
そんなことを 思いながら 夜空を浴びよう 今日は満月だったのだ While we think of such things, let’s bathe in the night sky, Because tonight was a full moon.
ねえ 君に 月をあげる 僕から プレゼント ああ 僕ら 二人だけで 地球を見に行こう Hey, I’ll give you the moon, As a present from me. Ah, with just the two us, Let’s go to see the Earth.
君の好きなものを考えていたら よく眠れる気がする 正解かどうかなんてわからないさ 僕は君の内側にはなれないんだ You were thinking of your favorite things and such. I get the feeling that you’ll sleep well. Not knowing whether it’s right or not, I won’t get used to the inner you.
そんなことを思いながら 眠りにつこう 今日が満月だったなら While we think of such things, let’s fall asleep, For tonight’s moon was full.
ねえ 君に 月をあげる 僕らの 宇宙船 かばんに詰め込んだ パンを食べよう 半分こしよう Hey, I’ll give you the moon. Our spaceship, I Shoved into my bag. Let’s eat some bread. We can split it in half.
君の温度を覚えてる I remember your temperature.
ねえ もしも この星が 真っ赤に染められたら 僕と君の涙で藍に染め直すよ Hey, Supposing This planet were dyed a deep red, Then our tears would dye it blue again.

I just feel like that Gohan must have needed to get out of the house a lot in his teen years becassue it's just so stifling in that house with his mother and brother so I just think that he would take to the woods and eventually makes a habit out of going into the woods and journaling.
And I think that when he started at Orange Star his life instantly became so interesting that he stopped going out there to journal and he never looked back. And I think that he left that damn journal by a boulder somewhere and just forgot clean about it
And it gets rendered illegible from years of weather
And you can't read it but if you could then I think that the most recent entry would be: "Dear Diary. Tomorrow is my FIRST DAY AT ORANGE STAR!! =D VERY excited! I keep blowing it out the other end from nerves! O.o I sure hope I'm not late ... I better just not sleep to make sure that I'll be up on time!!"
And the very first entry in the same journal goes like: "In the woods again. New journal. That issue I have keeps coming back. I don't understand it. I want to be calm and happy but it's like I'm haunted. Earlier a butterfly flew in front of me and I flinched, you know that? It reminded me of my father for some reason. I haven't seen Piccolo in a long time and I've been feeling a bubbling resentment for it. I keep feeling resentful for things that aren't people's fault. What's wrong with me? I keep thinking about how he used to be villainous and I keep feeling hatred for it. I don't understand! In other news, Goten turned 7 recently, and I was very excited and proud. But now that it's been a few days and the energy hasn't dissipated, I'm perceiving it now as a fierce concern rather than pride. I don't understand it, but actually, to be honest, I feel completely terrified. Diary, I can't sleep. I just keep thinking about how when I was 7 there was still so much yet to come that I had no idea about. I'm so worried for him. At least I don't have that problem anymore where I cannot tolerate it when he cries. I've finally convinced my heart what my head already knew, which is that crying is good for you. But Diary, I'm worried about this heart of mine. The way I approach every corner like it's only hell beyond. And is this any way to approach hell? My father would turn these corners proudly, courageously, and calmly, until. I'm starting to scare myself, the things I see in people. I'm just so worried. I want to be the most supportive, protective, and loving figure in Goten's life as I can be. But I don't understand why I grow anxious at his jubilance. I used to find it healing, but lately violence has been at my mind like gnats on a hot day, and I don't know why at my age it's still the same old pattern of feeling like I don't have control."

Someone on Twitter I followed showed they just got a Liger Zero model
Tumblr media
It made me remember that I defiantly had a toy of that thing back when it was new that I lost or broke at some point cause I defiantly didn't have it when all my "baby" shit got put then lost in storage. (by lost I meant sold because my mom could not or forgot to pay)
Do you ever go back and realize how FUCKING STUPID we are as kids for not taking care of our toys? Cause so much of them are worth 5x what they were when you got them. Like those crappy western made DBZ toys.
Tumblr media
Even the stuff you get from Happy meals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On a related note, I had a Growlmon toy, but I didn't get it from the store no no, I got it because someone left it by a tree at the park. I took it home cleaned it up and kept it for myself
Tumblr media
Pirate rules bitch
Tumblr media
That Gundam reminds me of the time I got a Gundam Wing model kit thinking it was already whole and was forced to get good and put it together from scratch. Learned about reality real quick.
I'm glad that at some point I started valuing my shit, still keep a box of the most valuable ones stored somewhere, but I will always mourn the things that I lost on the way to that revelation.
Tumblr media
I had the fucking Cubix toy and I let that shit fall apart. I was obsessed with the show so I got it for Christmas one year and sometimes I'm still in disbelieve that I just let it fall to the wayside. There's another thing I think about and I would pay to have this memory erased like Eternal Sunshine but I also got the OG season 1 Digivice Tamagotchi that they had....and I threw it away when the battery died.
Tumblr media
It was this one exactly and I kick myself every time I think about it. For a time there was a part of me that thought somebody found it and went on to become a Digidestined and I just threw away the opportunity like a fool.
Also, there's a whole conversation that needs to be had about the toys they were given out at places like McDonald's and Burger King in the day. Like, let's just compare real quick Beyblade at 2 different eras with Burger King.
Tumblr media
No other generation of kid will ever have it that good with their happy meals again. They were giving out some pretty good quality toy store shit and if you look at what they have now it's some ol' hollow bullshit. I also had the silver Gohan, Vegeta and Krillin from that BK DBZ set. I even got the gold plated Pikachu card they were giving out for Pokemon: The First Movie. That's still somewhere around here.
And it's funny you have that Growlmon story because I also have something similar where I was trying to collect all the Recess toys they had a McDonald's.
Tumblr media
I'd keep getting every kid but fucking TJ until I lucked out and the universe said "we got something for you today" and I found that shit in the grass at the park. Pirate life is THE life.
Also, this is a loss that really hit at my core at the time mainly because I feel like it was out of my hands.
Tumblr media
I had this Spawn figure. The coolest figure I ever had in my life at that point, maybe even ever, and I fucking lost that shit within days. Didn't go outside with it or anything. It just vanished out of thin air along with the comic it came with. Really thinking about it now I would not be surprised if my grandparents lowkey got rid of it thinking my mom brought some demonic shit into the house. Either way I genuinely hope to get it again one day.

Day 8 "I can't believe I trusted you!"
Reader x Bardock [DBZ] {Disclaimer: Uh... I forgot the angst today, sorry}
It had been a long time for you to gain Bardock's trust. Even though you had taken both him and his infant son in when they crashed in what equated to your front yard. Living alone on the land your Father Gohan owned, knowing he was only a few yards away was comforting.
But the man sitting next to you hadn't been so keen on accepting help for himself. He would pass out while star gazing. You had diligently made sure he didn't literally die of cold or wild animals. The first time he even spoke to you was just to make sure his son was okay.
His son had such a strange name to boot. Kakkarot. Your father had asked about renaming the poor kid to Goku.
Bardock said he didn't care, as long as his son could grow up healthy. And still, you had to be more persistent than a hungry tiger to get Bardock to consider eating every once in a while, let alone him actually coming inside to sleep on a bed. It had been a truly frustrating journey.
Not one you thought would end in marrying the strange man. Bardock entered the little house, carrying a large basket of hand-grown vegetables. This was the kind of peaceful life he didn't even know could exist.
"I can't believe I trust you." You turned to Bardock, he had a bad habit of this, "I mean, all this time and not a single threat happened that couldn't be dealt with."
"Uh... Welcome to Earth?" You chuckled, "We don't exactly fight to the death, we fight until we can change your mind."
You felt arms around your waist, a chin resting on your shoulder. He was so warm after being out in the fields.
"Yeah well, maybe it's just your stubbornness reminding me of my home planet." Bardock squeezed you a little closer, "Considering how cold a shoulder I gave you years ago."
"You've certainly made up for lost time on that." You relaxed against him, "Also, Goku said he needed your help training later. Don't forget to not blow a hole in the fields this time."
Bardock sighed, not letting go, "Yeah, alright. Just don't forget to have something ready by the time we finish sparring."

May I request Son Goten and Female Reader? Nothing too crazy, you know.
Son Goten x Fem. Actress Headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Decided to knock all these out :)
Want more from me? Masterlist 2
☆*: .。. .。.:*☆☆*: .。. .。.:*☆
Risk in Love (DBGT or Dragon Ball GT)
Warning(s): Fluff
Most would think it'd be crazy for Goten to date an actress, but honestly, it was stranger for you to date a half-alien who had an arsenal of fighters for a family.
✨✨✨✨
Goten felt lucky that he met you that day.
You were in a little cafe stopping for something sweet.
And so was he.
But then, a fan caught sight of you in the middle of your conversation.
With speed that could've rivaled anyone he knew, you grabbed his wrist.
"Run!"
Startled, he simply picked you up and ran as a crowd began to chase you.
"They're relentless!" an amused laugh bubbled from you.
On instinct, Goten flew to a roof, out of their sight.
But...he kinda forgot about the human he was with.
"Dang it! Uh, please don't say anything about what I just did!"
You raised a brow, munching on a pastry from your bag.
"You saved me, what would I tell on you for?"
He gaze turned down to the huge crowd of confused fans.
"You don't like your fans?"
"No, I love them dearly...It just...can get a little suffocating when they're at every corner. Especially when my bodyguard isn't around to make sure I don't get hurt."
"I'm Goten, by the way..."
You offer a hand, "Well, I would introduce myself, but my name's plastered everywhere, so I'm sure it's not necessary."
And you sat up there for hours, eating your pastries and talking about yourselves.
Until Goten remembered he had a date with Val...in five minutes.
"Uh...It was nice meetin' you, [Name]! I'm sorry, but I've got to get going!"
"Sure, thing--"
"Oh, but I've got to get you down..."
"Yeah, I was gonna mention that," you giggled.
You ran into each other again and it ended up with you hanging out.
And after Chi-Chi lets him know, "Whoever this girl is, sweetheart. It's obvious you have feelings for her."
He musters up the courage to break up with Val and take his chances with you.
And it was the best decision he ever made.
Although you were busy, you always did your best to make time for him.
You went out on cute little dates, Goten was always amused by your disguises.
And it wasn't long before Chi-Chi and Gohan wanted to meet you, Goku didn't know about you yet.
"Oh, she's so cute, Goten!"
Gohan observed you, "You look familiar."
"Uh...well," you didn't really brag about being a celeb, but Goten sure had no problem with it.
"[Name]'s that famous actress we see in all the movies these days."
"Actress?" Chi-Chi, out of genuine concern asked if you had a backup plan since acting could always easily end for someone.
But when you told her, you owned a business on the side (she was familiar with the name), "Oh, I like her. Keep her, Goten. She's got herself together."
"I plan to," his arm around your waist tightened.
Then you met Goku, and after meeting his sons, you wondered how the heck they were raised by him.
Dinner was amusing and startling all at once, their appetite wasn't human.
But Goten just came out with it and said only the women at the table were human.
It seemed like after that, you got to see more of his non-human qualities.
Like him fighting villains in the city to protect you once.
Which made you want to learn how to fight.
He relented when you gave him the cutest face you could.
Training with you was fun, he enjoyed it.
And sometimes you would play fight, which led to your first kiss one day.
He was smug whenever you would bring him up, people always wondered who this mystery man was.
But you didn't want the relationship to be spoiled for you.
He often helped you practice lines, and you had to do less romantic scenes.
You and Goten would always get sidetracked with those.
He wasn't the jealous type but always had to kiss you after the rare kiss scenes you did have.
And do better to make you forget all about that.
Sometimes, when you would be tired, you'd just cuddle into him and sleep.
He wouldn't mind, he always traced words into your skin, smiling as you peacefully slept.
Other times, you would both go to your special spot to escape both your worlds and make your own together.
"I love you, [Name]," he kissed down your shoulder.
You raked your fingers through his hair, "I love you too, Goten. More than anything."

Okay, so this probably doesn’t work, what with Goku having met Future Mai and presumably the chibified Pilaf gang too in the Goku Black arc. But you know what? We live in an era where Super is a grab bag of pick and choose what you consider canon, so this is my thought.
So I imagine that one day Goku drops by Capsule Corp, and he notices the Pilaf gang. And he points at them and is all like “Emperor Pilaf? What are you three doing here?” (They are trying not to panic and kind of failing.)
And then he says something like “why are you all so tiny? I mean, I know you two [pointing at Pilaf and Shu] were always kinda short, but you were around my height last time I saw you [pointing at Mai]. And I shorter then, but not that short; something around here.” And then he gestures to how tall he was at the 23rd WMAT, since the Pilaf Gang was in the wedding dress filler mini-arc from OG.
And then Bulma is like “Goku wtf are you talking about?” Because if I recall correctly, she only ever encountered them the one time during the first arc; but Goku has encountered them a bunch of times since then, so it’d make sense that he’d remember them better than her.
So then Goku is all like “Yeah! Remember how back when we first met, we had reached the point of looking for the final dragon ball and they kinda kidnapped us or something, and they almost made a wish but Oolong stole it, and then we were in that room with the glass ceiling, and then we were talking about the full moon and… oh.”
At which point Goku probably stops and puts together that he went Oozaru then too. Because when Vegeta transforms in the Saiyan saga, he only mentions what happened with Grandpa Gohan and at the 21st WMAT, so it’s possible he forgot about that one until he really thought back on that part of the adventure.
(Then Bulma is probably freaking out or something and maybe Trunks was there for the convo so he’s having a crisis; idk I just wanted to write something about Goku being the only one to remember the Pilaf Gang.)

Thank you, Toriyama 🕊
When I was super little, I saw a glimpse of Dragonball when I really young when my cousin and relatives watched some episodes together. I clearly remembered the Goku vs Jackie Chun fight where Goku turns into an Oozaru, and the very first few episodes of Z up to when Raditz kidnaps Gohan. I forgot it existed until 2011 when Dragonball Z Kai aired on Nicktoons. There, I watched the very first episode and was obsessed. Drew a lot of fanart, played the games, things I still do after getting back into it. What really drew me in was the iconic art, the relatable and memorable characters, and the fights that get you on the edge of your seat. In a way, the story felt compelling in its own simplistic ways. To this day, DBZ has always influenced my life one way or another. It inspired a lot of my art and writing (I still use DBZ characters as pose references. Toriyama was a literal master of his works). Without his works, I probably wouldn't have created the characters I have today. I can honestly write a whole ass essay of how much this series means to me.
Sometimes, it blows me away how popular and influential this series is worldwide back in the day and in modern times. The fact that any kid, teen, and adult around the world has watched DBZ at least once or more is crazy to me. It only hits even more knowing that we lost a huge legend who inspired countless of people across the globe, be it mangakas like Oda Eiichiro, voice director Christopher Sabat, and content creators like Lythero and DevilArtemis. It's truly a large wave of emotions reading statements across the globes about Toriyama, especially ones by the people who worked close with him.
Thank you, Akira Toriyama. You were gone too soon, but your ideas and legacy will continue to live on and the positive impact on people is undoubtedly crystal clear through your stories. Rest in peace, you absolute legend. Say hi to King Kai for us! 🕊

[Gakuen K] Totsuka Tatara Route Translation
The world of the law of the jungle 
Tumblr media
LIST OF CHAPTERS
[Translation under the cut]
Tumblr media
Kusanagi: I didn't expect stones and dustpans to come flying. It was a disaster, wasn't it, Totsuka?
Totsuka: I was surprised when it hit me out of the blue. But it didn't hurt as much as it did with the sheep.
Totsuka: And I even had her take me to the infirmary.
Kusanagi: Really?
Saya: Yes. He was hitted twice by the same spot and besides there was blood...
Saya: I was worried he would go to the infirmary alone.
Totsuka: Ahaha.
Kusanagi: Don't "Ahaha" it, Totsuka. Stop worrying her so much. I can't tell which one of you is older.
Totsuka:  I'm older one, you know?
Kusanagi: I knew it, you idiot.
Yata: Totsuka-san, I'm sorry!!
Totsuka: What's happened so suddenly?
Yata: I injured Totsuka-san twice...I'm ashamed of myself!
Totsuka: It's fine, it's fine, what's done is done. Don't be so down.
Yata: Totsuka-san...Thank you!
Saya: Totsuka-san has a big heart, doesn't he?
Kusanagi: That's true. Thanks to Totsuka's personality, the Red club still exists.
Saya: It that so?
Kusanagi: The Red club guys are basically a bunch of hot‐blooded people.
Kusanagi: When you have a guy with that kind of vibe it's like a cushioning material.
Saya: Somehow, I feel like I understand. Totsuka-senpai's flame seemed gentle to me.
Kusanagi: Oh, you saw his flame? It's a little unusual of our club, but this guy got the flame that's so like him.
Kusanagi: Mikoto too, no matter what anyone says, also needs him.
Totsuka: Achoo! ... Achoo!
Totsuka: I sneezed two times...Kusanagi-san. Did you just say something bad about me?
Kusanagi: I said nothing like that. We were generally praising you. Right?
Totsuka: Really? And, what were you speaking about me?
Saya: Fufu. Well...
Kamamoto: Yata-san! Ahhh...It's terrible!
Yata: What's wrong, Kamamoto? You're out of breath.
Kamamoto: Oh, really...Ahaha...
Kamamoto: ...Ugh.
Kusanagi: Just say it already!
Totsuka: Waaah. A straight Tsukkomi (response). Looks like a sketch.
Kamamoto: Emm...Before that, can I get some water? My throat is dry.
Saya: Yeah, here.
Kamamoto: Thank you...*glug, glug, glug*
Kamamoto: Haaah...I'm calm down.
Yata: It's no "calm down"...! What's the "terrible" thing, spit it out!!
Kamamoto: Oh, about that. Sorry, I was careless!
Kamamoto: Emmm...Looks like there's going to be a war in the purchasing department in a minute.
Saya: A war?
Kusanagi: At this time of year, in this time of day...This is "It".
Totsuka: That's definitely "it".
Saya: What's "It"?
Mikoto: ..."It".
Saya: Suoh-senpai.
Kusanagi: Are you awake, Mikoto? Good morning.
Mikoto: Ahh. I'm hungry.
Totsuka: Roger that. Well then, I'm going to join the war.
Saya: Senpai. What is "It", can you tell me?
Totsuka: Are you curious? Well, then, follow me.
Saya: O-okay...?
Tumblr media
Saya: Wow, that's a huge crowd...
Totsuka: It's a war, after all.
Shiro: Ah...Can it be...?
Saya: Shiro-kun, Neko-chan.
Neko: Yahoo, Gohan!
Totsuka: Are you guys going to participate too?
Shiro: Umh. I'm not a fan of fightings, but there is no choice but to do this.
Neko: We lost last year, but this year Wagahai is the strongest!
Saya: (Are people here going to fight too, I wonder...)
Shiro: What's wrong? You looks gloomy.
Saya: Umh. ...Everyone is keep fighting around.
Shiro: It can't be helped. Because it is a world of the law of the jungle.
Saya:Umh...
Neko: The winner will get the most delicious yakisoba bread!
Saya: Is that so...I see...
Saya:...Eh, yakisoba bread?
Totsuka: The reason all these people are gathered here is because of the yakisoba bread.
Totsuka: A limited amount of it will be sold at this time of the year. Wishing to buy it, students gather here. That's why war happens.
Totsuka: I'm of all people accidentaly forgot about it. I'm glad that Kamamoto come to inform.
Saya: So this's what it was. Because you called it a "war", I thought it was about beating someone...
Totsuka: There's no direct violence. Probably.
Neko: Yaaah! Shiro, the war has begun!
Totsuka: Oh, it's no good. I gotta go, too.
Tumblr media
Choice: [Please do your best] ♥
Saya: Please do your best, senpai!
Totsuka: Okay-okaaay. Well, I'm going.
Tumblr media
Choice: [I am going too]
Saya: I'm going too!
Totsuka: It's fine, it's fine. You wait here.
Saya: But..
Totsuka: I'd like to compliment your spirit of challenge, but as Isana-kun said, it's war.
Totsuka: Because of me trying to keep you safe, it will be hard for me to get to the cash register.
Totsuka: So, I want you to wait here. Okay?
Saya: Yeah, I got it...
Tumblr media
Totsuka: Alright, I'm going to capture it quickly.
Saya: Senpai, I hope you'll be okay...
Awashima: A limited amount of yakisoba bread is starting to go on sale right now!
Awashima: Challenge those who want to buy it fair and square. I wish you all good luck in your battle!
Saya: (Oh, it's started...!!)
Neko: Shiro, Shiro, can I do it with my ability!?
Shiro: Hmmm, let's not do that. The Blue club's advisor is watching.
Totsuka: Okay-okay, I'll go first.
Neko: Woah! That's the Red club for you!
Saya: (Amazing...Totsuka-senpai moving smoothly forward through the crowd)
Totsuka: I'm ba-ack. Sorry for keep you waiting.
Saya: No, that was quick.
Totsuka: Well, let's see...here's the King's share. Here's yours. Please, take it.
Saya: Eh, it is okay?
Totsuka: Uhm. I told you before, right? That I'll repay you.
Saya: Repay...?
Totsuka: Arara, don't you remember? You lend me a towel that you had just bought.
Saya: Aaah, I remembered!
Saya: Really, it's small deal, so it's fine.
Totsuka: If that's the case, then this is just another 'small deal'. You've also done a lot of other things to me. Right?
Saya: (I wonder, if it'll be okay if I take this precious yakisoba bread...oh, right!)
Saya: ...I got it. Well, let's split it in half.
Totsuka: Eh? I'm okay, no need...
Saya: Totsuka-senpai also did a lot of things for me. Or do you happen to dislike yakisoba bread?
Totsuka: Un-uh. It's not like that.
Saya: Well then, let's eat together!
Totsuka: Okay, I got it. I'll take half, thank you for the meal. ...Fufu, it's kind of embarrassing.
Totsuka: Let's go back to the club room while eating. I don't want King to starve to death.
Saya: Okay!

Dragon Ball Super 088
Tumblr media
This one’s kind of a grab bag, like Episode 85 was, but the random stuff is better, so I guess it works out.
Tumblr media
Let’s start with Piccolo training Gohan.  They only have about a day to prepare, but Piccolo thinks he can get more out of Gohan.  For one thing, he manages to get Gohan to use his “Ultimate/Mystic/Potential Unleashed” form that he used against Super Buu.  Throughout this series, it’s been implied that Gohan just lost that ability, or forgot how to do it, but this time Piccolo just tells him to go ham and he does it on the first try. 
Tumblr media
Piccolo also tells Gohan he has two major weaknesses holding him back.  First, Gohan uses his emotions to drive himself, which is fine to a certain point, but it can be dangerous to tie your power to your emotions.  If he keeps thinking about his need to protect his family, it can make him afraid, or desperate, which can make him prone to mistakes, no matter how strong he gets. 
Second, Gohan tends to get careless when he’s winning.  Piccolo cites the Majin Buu fight, but I think we all know he’s only choosing that battle because the Cell Games are too painful an example.  Of course, we’ve already seen a more recent instance of this when Gohan sparred with Krillin in episode 83.  Krillin proved that he could outmanuever Gohan and score a ring-out, despite Gohan’s superior power.
Tumblr media
This is best illustrated in the scene where Gohan manages to chop off Piccolo’s forearm, kind of like how Tagoma ripped it off back in Episode 22.  That pretty much took Piccolo out of the fight back then, but Gohan doesn’t follow through with another attack the way Tagoma did.  He just assumes he’s done, which gives Piccolo a chance to show off his new trick of firing ki blasts from severed limbs. 
So Gohan is still making the same mistakes he did as a kid, while Piccolo is continuously adapting.  He won’t be beaten the same way again. 
Tumblr media
Anyway, they plan to keep pushing to see if they can get Gohan to an even higher level before the Tournament, and Gohan suggests they work on some combo moves while they’re at it. 
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, in Universe 6, Cabba seeks out his old mentor from the Sadala Defense Force, Captain Renso.  He asks him to join Team Universe 6, but Renso’s got a bum leg, and feels he would only slow the team down.  Instead, he suggests that Cabba recruit his sister, Caulifla. 
Tumblr media
Cabba’s not too keen on that idea.  While he’s confident in her fighting ability, they’ve never gotten along too well, mainly because Caulifla is the leader of a bunch of punks on the mean streets of Planet Sadala.  Considering how shitty the U6 team was in the Destroyer Tournament, I’d say anything is an improvement.  All I know is that Caulifla only makes a brief appearance in this episode, and she immediately became my favorite U6 character.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Krillin and 18 are sparring in their backyard.  18 keeps whoopin’ his ass, and she’s already decided to claim his share of the nonexistent prize money. 
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Trunks doesn’t know how to work a diaper.
Tumblr media
But Vegeta does!  Seriously, when did he get so good at this?  I’m pretty sure he had Gohan give him lessons or something.
Tumblr media
Beerus is annoyed that everyone is so care free about things, so he considers telling them about their universe possibly getting erased, if only so he won’t have to worry alone.  But Whis warns him that Bulma will give him shit for it.  And he’s right, she would.  I mean, Beerus can blame Goku all he wants but Beerus could have stopped him if he gave a shit.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Yamcha continues to fantasize about playing hard-to-get when Goku asks him to join the team.  He’s starting to wonder why Goku hasn’t approached him already, but you kind of need to speak up if you want in this thing, man. 
Tumblr media
Anyway, fans complained about the terrible state of Yamcha’s apartment when this episode first aired, and I think the bigger issue is that the artists just blew off drawing his apartment.   Like, this doesn’t look like there was any conscious decision to make it look fancy or crummy.  There’s simply no aesthetic whatsoever.  The furniture looks like it came from a motel, the chair looks like a child’s car seat, the bed looks like something out of a 1940′s cartoon, and there’s no door leading to the patio.
It’s the same problem we saw in Future Trunks’ bedroom at Capsule Corp.  They just slapped some stuff together and called it done. 
And yeah, that’s it.

Autumn Love V
Goku sat on his Grandpa’s lap, kicking his legs and smiling at the kind, old man who found him in the woods and raised him. When he sat on Grandpa’s lap, the Old Man wanted to tell him something important. It’s happened a few times and Goku tried to listen and remember but sometimes he forgot. He hoped this isn’t one of those times. “I am your Grandpa Gohan. You are my Grandson. We are a family and you should never forget that.”
 Goku knew what the words ‘Grandpa’ and ‘Grandson’ meant but not the other one. “What’s a family, Grandpa?”
 “Family is a group of people who live together. They love, support and take care of each other.”
 “Like you and me.”
 Grandpa Gohan patted Goku’s head. “Yes, but there are different types of families, Goku. There are families you are born into and there are families you create. I created a family with you and one day you will meet a cute girl and will create a family with her. You two will have a child. You will love and for the child like I am taking care of you.”
 Goku didn’t understand any of that. Maybe when he’s older he will. Maybe this ‘cute girl’ he will meet will tell him. “If that’s what I’m supposed to do, I will, Grandpa, but when will this happen?”
 “When you grow up. I can’t say how old you will be when this happens, but you should be a young man and not an old one like me when you create your family.” Goku noticed a change in his Grandpa’s eyes. He looked sad. “When you are old like me, you don’t have a lot of years left and you will miss things with your family that you would not miss if you start a family when you are younger.”
 That went completely over Goku’s head. “Huh?”
 Grandpa Gohan chuckled. He had a feeling that was too much for Goku to understand and maybe it was best Goku didn’t understand. That way, the young boy won’t dwell on the knowledge his Grandpa won’t live forever and will miss seeing him grow into a man, marry and start a family.
 “Don’t worry about it. Treat that cute girl and your child right. You will want to raise a good and happy family, Goku.”
 “Are there families not good and happy, Grandpa, like there are good and bad people?”
 Goku can be slow at times but there were moments he is very perceptive. “There are some, yes,” Grandpa Gohan acknowledged sadly. “There are some families that are family in name only. They don’t love, support and take care of each other like a real family. Some of them start out loving and caring but things happen and they change. Don’t create that family. Always love, care and support your family. Don’t let it change into a family that doesn’t.”
 Grandpa spoke soft but stern. It was enough for even young Goku to understand how serious this is. “I won’t, Grandpa,” Goku promised. “I’ll make sure the family I create will love, care and support each other.”
****
 “Well, Grandpa, I did it. I created a family.”
 Goku, a man nearly twenty years of age, stood in front of a tall, thick tree. This wasn’t where his Grandpa died but it was near the spot where Goku cremated him. The exact spot was lost to time and Goku’s youthful memories. He was so young when he lost his Grandpa that over the years growing and living a life of his own replaced many of the memories Goku had of his Grandpa. As a man, Goku could only recall a few moments that happened and just feelings of what his Grandpa evoked in him. One memory that wasn’t lost is Grandpa loved this tree. Goku remembered Grandpa smoking a pipe and taking naps against this tree.
 It's why Goku chose this spot to talk to Grandpa about the changes in his life since he left Mount Paozu.
 “I married Old Man Gyumao’s daughter, ChiChi. We met as kids and I got engaged to her and I didn’t know it.” His friends questioned it but Goku never told them the exact details of how he of all people got engaged to a girl. “ChiChi’s as naïve as me. Or she was then. She thought me patting her meant I wanted to marry her.” Goku imagined Grandpa hearing this story and his reaction. “I bet you wanna hit me now, too, Grandpa. I know. I know. I shouldn’t have done that but that was the only way I could tell the difference between a boy and a girl. I don’t need to do that now,” Goku confirmed. “I know the difference.” He knew before meeting ChiChi again but he really knew now that he’s married.
 “After we married, I remembered what you told me about creating a family. I remembered my promise to you and I got scared, Grandpa. I got scared I made a mistake.”
 It was late with the moonlight peering into his bedroom as Goku sat up in bed staring at the woman who became his wife. They married a week ago and Goku was still processing it. They stood before a man promising to love, care and be faithful to each other. Only a week and so far it’s been nice. There were things he and ChiChi do at night and sometimes day that were really good. ChiChi made yummy food for him. It didn’t fill him but it tasted good. ChiChi told him stories about her life growing up and ask about his. Goku shared stories but when ChiChi asked about Grandpa, Goku changed the subject. It was strange. There was a small part of him that wanted to share but a large part that didn’t. His friends whom he knew for years didn’t ask questions about Grandpa, and if they did, Goku wouldn’t tell them either. Even so, there wasn’t that small part of him that wanted Goku to share with his friends. Only with ChiChi that part existed and Goku didn’t understand why.
 One day you will meet a cute girl and will create a family with her. You two will have a child. You will love and take care of that child like I am taking care of you.
 Goku understood the difference between a man and a woman but he didn’t understand what’s cute. ChiChi had a nice face for him to look at but did that mean cute? ChiChi talked about them having a child. Goku didn’t mind until he remembered his Grandpa’s words about family. That reminded Goku of his promise to not let his family turn into a bad one.
 But how can he make a family with someone he didn’t know?
 Goku touched ChiChi’s arm and shook her. “Hey. Hey, ChiChi.”
 “Mmm?” ChiChi groaned as she was shaken awake. “Goku?” she spoke unsure it was him. She rubbed her sleepy eyes as she yawned, “What is it?” ChiChi flicked on the lamp and looked at the clock on the nightstand. “It’s three in the morning. Why are you waking me so early?”
 “We got married so that means we are a family.”
 “Yes, Goku.” ChiChi closed her eyes again. “Go to sleep, Goku. We can talk about this later.”
“Families love, care and support each other, right?” Goku asked for confirmation.
 “Mm-hmm,” ChiChi murmured as she drifted back to sleep.
 “How can we be a good family if we don’t know each other? I don’t wanna create a bad family, ChiChi. I promised Grandpa I wouldn’t.”
 ChiChi’s eyes opened again. She stared at him for a long moment before finally pulling herself to sit up. “You’re not creating a bad family, Goku. Why do you think that?”
“Grandpa told me a family is a group of people who live together. They love, support and take care of each other.”
 “That’s right.”
 “That was me and Grandpa but we knew each other. That’s not us. We created a bad family. We ain’t the good one I promised Grandpa I will create.”
 Goku thought he said the wrong thing when he noticed tears welling in ChiChi’s eyes. He didn’t want to hurt ChiChi. He liked her. She got fiery but was kind to him. She made him yummy foods and taught him things no one else took the time to teach. It was as if she didn’t see him as stupid as others did. She saw him as a person needing to be taught what he wasn’t.
 ChiChi wiped away her tears but he still saw hurt in her eyes. There was something else there, too. Determination. ”You told me your Grandpa found you in the woods, brought you home and raised you. Do you think he loved you then?”
 ChiChi’s question floored him. Goku knew his Grandpa loved him but did he love him when he found him? “I don’t know.”
 “He probably didn’t love you then,” ChiChi was blunt. “I think he saw someone he wanted to create a family with. He took you home and grew to love you.” ChiChi squeezed his hands. “It’s not all that different from us. We met as children. A touch from you caused us to marry. I know the real reason for that touch but I still want you. I saw how strong and brave you were at the tournament. That’s the man I want as a husband. It’s been a week but each day makes me feel better and happier about our decision to marry. Don’t you feel that?”
 Hmm. Goku had to think. “I like you more than I did a week ago if that’s what you mean.” Goku wasn’t sure if he understood the question so he spoke his truth. “I like the food you make for us. I like showing you Mount Paozu. You want to know about our home here. I never met anyone who wanted that. I like that about you, ChiChi, but it ain’t love. What I feel for you, ain’t near to what I felt for Grandpa. Maybe it’s wrong to say but it’s the truth.”
 Goku thought his words would have angered ChiChi but she smiled.
 “I think I understand, Goku.”
 “Good.” At least one of them did. “Could you explain it to me?”
 ChiChi giggled and Goku realized that was another thing he liked about ChiChi. Her laughed. She had a nice laugh. “Goku, we’re at that stage of getting to know each other. Maybe we aren’t in love yet but it’s growing and we are going in the right direction to fulfill your promise to your Grandpa.”
 “We are?”
 “Yes.” She playfully slapped his chest. “Gosh. You had me so worried. All of this takes time, Goku. It won’t happen in a week but we are doing the right thing and one day you will see that.”
 That was another thing Goku liked about ChiChi. She could explain things so he understood in ways his friends couldn’t. No one else did that to him without trying to make him feel stupid. She also made him feel things like now. The way she smiled at him; the way the straps of her evening gown fell off ChiChi’s shoulders right now. It did something to him. He wanted her close to him.
 Goku laid back on the bed and pulled ChiChi against him.
 “There’s something else I like about you, too.”
 ****
 The tree swayed gently against the wind. Goku imagined his Grandpa listening proudly. “ChiChi made me understand we were becoming the family I promised you. I didn’t love ChiChi then but now I love her as much as I love you, Grandpa. Might be even more,” he confessed. “She does things for me and to me, that’s good…. really good but she also gave me something I didn’t think of having: a child.”
 He was tiny. He was precious. He was his.
 That’s what Goku thought when he saw his son. He was born a few hours ago after nasty storms past the area. He slept in a bassinet by the bed where he and ChiChi slept until Goku got him. ChiChi. Goku looked at his wife completely exhausted and deep in sleep. There were worries ChiChi wouldn’t make it through the birth but she pulled through and gave birth to their son.
 Son Gohan.
 Goku sat by the window holding his baby completely enraptured. He had dark hair like him and ChiChi but the tiny spikes styling Gohan’s hair came from him. Gohan’s tail came from him, too. It was too early to confirm but ChiChi said Gohan’s stomach came from him, too.
 For months, he waited for Gohan’s arrival. He watched his son grow in ChiChi’s belly. He gave ChiChi stomach rubs, and pressed his ear against her stomach to hear his son move around. Sometimes he stared at the growing stomach and talked to his son. He talked of all the things he wanted to do with him.
 Family is a group of people who live together. They love, support and take care of each other.
 That’s what Grandpa told him and that’s what he created. Nearly a year ago, he worried about not keeping his promise to Grandpa. A year later he couldn’t believe how foolish he was in his thoughts. He worried about marrying ChiChi. Oh, he didn’t love her then but he did now. Looking at her now, he couldn’t imagine anyone else in her place. He couldn’t imagine marrying anyone else. No one could be to him what ChiChi is.
 There were other women in his life but they were not his match. Maybe they had one or two appealing qualities but none of them could give him all of what ChiChi gave him. Those marriages would’ve been the bad family Grandpa warned him about. With them, he would’ve missed out on the good family with ChiChi and the son he fell in love with at first sight.
 ****
 “That’s why I’m here today, Grandpa.” Goku came here once, alone, when he returned to Mount Paozu. He spoke then as a man happy but unsure of his future. Now he was a man still happy but excited for what came next. “I’m a Daddy now. ChiChi and I have a son we named him after you. I wasn’t ready to share you with them but I wanna now.” Goku turned around to see ChiChi smiling at him while holding baby Gohan. He waved, signaling ChiChi over. “I want you to meet my family, Grandpa. Son ChiChi and Son Gohan.”
 ChiChi handed Gohan to Goku and knelt in front of the tree. ChiChi pulled flowers from her tote bag and placed them against the tree. “Hello. I’m happy to finally meet you, Gohan. Dad and Goku told stories about you. I wished I met you when you were alive but I am happy more than anything you met Goku. Thank you for finding and raising him. Without you, we wouldn’t have our happy family. I will take good care of Goku, Gohan and any other children and grandchildren we will have.”
 “Gohan can’t talk now,” Goku spoke for his sleeping son, “but he’s happy to meet you, too.”
 “And we’ll come back here often and celebrate you with him,” ChiChi promised. She rose to her feet controlling the emotions threatening to burst from her. She knew how much Grandpa Gohan meant to Goku and was moved he finally opened this sacred part of him to her. “Thank you, Goku.”
 “I wanted to do it sooner, but I thought I should wait until Gohan’s born.”
 “I’m glad you did but, Goku, I don’t want our family to only be about you fulfilling your promise to your Grandpa. I want you to want this, too.”
 “I do.” There was no doubt in his mind about that. “I didn’t know anything about family until Grandpa told me about it. It was something that if it happened, I’d do it because Grandpa told me to create a good family but you made me want one.”
 ChiChi wasn’t sure if that was a compliment or an insult. “You’re making it sound like I forced you.”
 “No!” Goku laughed. “Are you kidding? You can’t force me into anything I don’t want. It’s…” Goku thought of what he could say to make ChiChi understand. “I saw families growing up. I saw Bulma’s family. I saw families on my travels. I never wanted any of that but when I married you and got to know you, I started to want a family. Now I have it.”
 “Oh, Goku.” This time, ChiChi couldn’t hold back her emotions. She kissed him. “I love you.”
 “I love me, too,” Goku teased and received a playful slap on the arm from a laughing ChiChi.
 The family of three left the sacred tree feeling fulfilled and carrying the wise words of the man who started them on their path to forming a family.
 Family is a group of people who live together. They love, support and take care of each other

What if Goku and Adell Swapped Places (Adell's Side: Pt. 1)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
((Hee ho dood! Prinnyfrost reporting for duty! Well, it's the moment some of you guys have been waiting for! Time to start covering how Adell fairs in Goku's shoes in the Dragonball series. Now as I said, like with Goku in Disgaea, this is just going to be a summary of everything I think might occur in this new timeline instead of an actual dialogue filled story. There are actually 2 reasons for it this time around. First, there's a lot more to cover here in contrast to Goku's side of things and second...I'm not really completely familiar with the original dragonball.
Tumblr media
I've never seen the original show before, but I did get quite a bit of information about what happens in it thanks to Masakox's videos. While he never did a complete summary of everything in dragonball as he only reviewed the current dragonball super chapters and episodes, some of his content, like his What Ifs do provide some context in certain situations. That being said, if something seems a bit too of where I need to make edits, please let me know before I get too deep into this. Just a heads up, this whole first part is going to cover all of dragonball. As much as it might be easier to just start off at Z and say the time patrol just let things progress normally until then, if I started Goku off as a baby before the events of Disgaea 2, then I have to do the same with Adell. It's only fair. So let's get started.
Tumblr media
Just like before, Old Man Gohan one day accidentally stumbles upon a ship that landed nearby his home. He decides to investigate and when it opens, he sees 3 figures. They appear to be...strange masked creatures, and one of them is holding an infant. The figures were rather...a tad startled at first, but Gohan gave them a warm welcome and invited them into his home since they currently have nowhere else to go. After eating, the two older ones introduced themselves as demons from a far away planet. Their names being...Shura and Selion.
Tumblr media
Yeah. In case if some of you forgot, both of Adell's parents went with him when they escaped their home Netherworld, unlike Bardock and Gine who were left behind during Planet Vegeta's destruction. And since there's no Overlord Zenon or anything that's going to threaten the world at this point, Adell's going to have both his parents as well as Gohan to raise him before he even sets out in his journey. And I can totally see them letting Gohan in the family because in Disgaea 2, their closest companions in Veldime won them over with their kindness. This means, I get to have a little fun with how he gets trained early on.
Tumblr media
Not to worry, I'm not getting rid of his fists. Gohan probably won't be able to teach him everything, but he would give Adell some early training, probably even more so than what he gave Goku since we don't have to worry about Adell turning into great ape and accidentally killing him. He would still need to hold back quite a bit though. I'll explain later.
Tumblr media
His father, Shura, will teach Adell swordsmanship. While we don't know too much about Shura, we do know that he does use a sword to at least a decent extent given his unique skill in Disgaea 2. This would be Adell's secondary weapon to his fists instead of the power pole that Goku took in Dragonball.
Tumblr media
Selion will be teaching Adell some magic. I say some because in this timeline, I don't imagine him using too many spells. Maybe a few buffs and healing here and there as well as fire enchantments. She would also be the one to teach Adell how to appear more...human like.
Tumblr media
While there IS a version of Adell in Disgaea RPG that's a magic user, this one isn't so much the case. I can see him use it every now and then, but only for when situations call for it and not all that much in direct combat.
Tumblr media
Now we get to where Bulma shows up and DOESN'T shoot Adell in the head because she wasn't caught by surprise. This is going to be similar to MasakoX's "what if Gine went with Goku" story where Bulma explains the reason for coming her with Adell, Gohan, Shura, and Selion, that she wanted to collect the dragonballs to make a wish. Sensing no ill will from her, they willingly gave up the ball under the condition that Adell accompanies her. Not for the lack of trust, but this would be an opportunity for Adell to travel the world around him. As I said before, I'm not really going to go into EVERY detail about OG Dragonball, but I will summarize the best I can.
Tumblr media
First off is Roshi and Krillin. Things would start off as usual as Roshi would give the dragonball to see Bulma's panties. This time, he would get the actual panty shot and not Bulma's bare privates. This is because Adell wouldn't be as curious as Goku was and wouldn't...you know...steal them in her sleep. That being said, he's also not going to stop Roshi from getting that panty peek because well... Adell's still a kid at this point. His parents likely didn't teach him anything about the birds and the bees yet so when he hears this, all he's going to do is ask "panties??? What are panties??? Is it a toy?". Of course, when he gets older, he'll fully catch on that this isn't okay and would get Roshi to back off a little. Then there's Krillin. While Adell would get some training from Gohan, Roshi would probably take the time to up Adell's skills a little. Stuff that Gohan didn't get to teach him yet like the Kamehameha. He's also going to teach Adell a lesson in humility after defeating him in his first tournament, because as powerful as he is here, he's still inexperienced in combat and isn't used to certain tactics that Roshi can pull from his sleeve. As for Krillin, this one's actually going to be a bit of a toss up, because I can tell you right now, these two are NOT starting off as good friends. Remember, in OG dragonball, Krillin used to hate Goku for a while and tried to trick him on multiple occasions during training. While Adell is a forgiving person, one thing you gotta remember is that he's less laid back than Goku. It's going to take even longer for them to actually be able to bond together. I'd say the best bet would be after Krillin dies by one of King Piccolo's minions later on and then brought back to life.
Tumblr media
Speaking of Piccolo, yeah sorry, we're gonna have to say goodbye to the grumpy green guy that we know and love in Z. Why? Well, remember what I said about the average power level of demons in Disgaea? And the fact that Adell's been training with both of his blood related parents for years before setting off on this adventure? Yeah, Adell's pretty much going to be Saitama for the remainder of this series. He's going to one-shot every major villain he comes across. This isn't to say he's going to go around killing every antagonist like Tien, but if he knows that you're like off the walls evil like King Piccolo, you're not gonna survive. Adell is much less fond of holding back his strength compared to Goku, and will go all out if he knows a situation is very drastic. This means that after Krillin dies, Adell's going to be coming for blood against King Piccolo and he's not going to have the time to shoot out an egg before he gets murked.
Tumblr media
Next is Chi Chi. As you guys have voted, she and Adell won't end up together in the end, despite her likely having a crush on him when they meet up. I already explained why I DO think this relationship would actually work out potentially even better than the one she has with Goku before, but at the same time, there's no guarantee that Adell would seal the deal here. He would at least have some idea what a marriage is since both Shura and Selion are around in this story and would refuse to promise to marry her in the future. This would be heartbreaking, but I can see Adell letting her down just gently enough for her not to get too upset about it. It would sting but she would recover.
Tumblr media
Now we get into the big one, Yamcha. You guys have voted that Adell will eventually end up marrying the saiyan woman that he raised after she crash lands nearby him. As a result, he does seem more confident around women, which will certainly attract Bulma, but not all that much until he spends some time with her. And no, I'm not going to kill him off because of the Great Ape form. He will experience it once, but would be able to barely dodge the rampage until she gets stuck on some rocks, forcing Yamcha to cut off her tail to set her free. As much as it's fun even for me to poke fun at Yamcha from time to time, I'm not going to do him dirty here. Finally, we have his adopted little saiyan named Shoumei. Sorry, the art for her isn't ready yet. I want @smourice-toastygraham to take as much time he needs with it. Anyway, she would learn how to fight from Yamcha, wolf fang fist and all and even learn some moves from the rest of the gang as the story progresses. However, unlike Yamcha, Shoumei never really fully escapes the bandit life. She often steals valuables every now and then, friends and foes alike, especially Bulma given her status.
Tumblr media
This gets even worse when they meet Launch, specifically her blonde form. These two would likely get along swimmingly. If it wasn't for the fact that she's attracted to Tien, I can see her and Yamcha getting together as a couple in this timeline. A family of thieves spreading larceny in the genes. This does not sit well with Adell, as even though he's not really a hero, he does have a more righteous heart. The two would be at odds pretty often, as Shoumei would love nothing more than to tease the little "pure hearted devil boy" and the two would end up fighting from time to time, both with swords and fists. You can basically imagine them being like Knuckles and Rouge from Sonic or Batman and Catwoman from DC, especially the latter in the romantic sense, because I prefer Rouge more with Shadow than with Knuckles. Naturally, Shoumei won't be much of a challenge to Adell when it comes to physical combat, but she does toy with him in the mind category and overtime, Shoumei does get stronger and stronger from fighting Adell, especially during times when she pushes him a little too far and she gets a zenkai boost from it. They do mature as they get older, and you know saiyans, they're attracted to strength and feistiness, so it's only a matter of time before Shoumei starts asking Launch for advice (because she knows she's not going to get any from Yamcha) and the two end up hitched after one final tournament fight. And that pretty much covers OG Dragonball. Once again, if there are some important details I left out, please let me know so I can make edits before I get into the next part, where we go over Z. Thank you so much for reading and I'll see you next time.

HI i had a horrible dragon ball thought and thought i should send it to you because i haven't done that in a long time :(
love stumbling across screenshots that remind me that akira toriyama doesn't give a shit about canonical heights EVER and just says numbers when asked and doesn't follow said numbers.
Like i was taking a peep at the manga because i want to learn how to replicate the art style (my most serious art has already been damaged by the dragon balls i draw and i say it like... damaged. but i don't mean that i think thats a good thing because thats what i want) and i find these bits from the 23rd tenkaichi budokai where Yamcha (6'0") and Tien (6'2") are both like a head taller than Goku (5'9") which... no they aren't lol. but it's fun to think that they are so I'll incorporate that into my belief system regardless.
And i also found this one picture from the end of the anime (equally inaccurate about numbers which i find delightful. i am incredibly amused by this.) where Goten (??) is like also a head shorter than Trunks (5'7"? probably, that's how tall future him was at that age idk man who fucking knows. not me.) which would probably put Goten at like... Vegeta height in terms of dragon ball inaccuracies because 17 year old Future Trunks was depicted as being considerably taller than his father in canon.
And that's generally insane because as far as i'm aware Goten is usually depicted to be vaguely taller than Trunks when they grow up to what should be their full heights in fan works? which is fair because Trunks is REALLY doing his best with what he has (Vegeta dna)
Also about Trunk's height- future Trunks (malnourished by saiyan standards... and probably earthling standards too) is really only 5 cm shorter than Goku?? which is not even much actually, Future Trunks is about as tall as LIONEL MESSI which, sure I'm Argentinian and that's my like referent for short men sue me... but that's hilarious because Goku is only 5 cm taller than that like what. and adult Gohan is only 6 cm taller than that! because he's only a single fucking centimeter taller than Goku! why is he only a fucking centimeter taller than his father. who even cares about that. him? probably not.
Also to expand onto the Vegeta Height Goten thing, that'd be so funny personally because i feel like the second neurotic ass SON OF VEGETA Trunks notices this he would tear his own hair out, i think he would resent that fact with everything he had. i don't even quite know why he would hate it yet, but i do know that he wouldn't be a fan of it.
But of course none of this fucking matters. because akira toriyama is a bitchass motherfucker and if i had a wife he would piss on her.
-Yui7 after getting back from talking about Dragon ball and how much he misses Goku for like a half a day.
Hi I forgot about this ask and it has sat in my inbox for 9 slutty slutty days.
IT'S TRUE!!!!!! THE HEIGHTS ARE A MESS!!!!!!
To be fair it must be hard to give a shit when you're depicting multiple characters in complex scenes and poses and angles all of the time.
BUT THEN WHY TRY TO DISCLOSE NUMBERS AT ALL !??!?!??!
I get the impression that he just draws characters as they feel. Even though Goku went through a growth spurt before the 23rd tenkaichi budokai, he's still younger than the others and he's still always been an aspiring young shoot, so Tenshinhan and Yamucha still need to be taller (and therefore more mature) than him.
That's why Vegeta steadily got taller as he gained wisdom and muscle mass.... he had to look more important.
Goten is kept shorter than Trunks consistently, except in GT I feel like they're allowed to be on-par. But they're both definitely taller than Vegeta I mean come on.
If the real meaning comes from visual impressions then I'll be on record as saying that watching Future Trunks on-screen you definitely see one TALL STACK of fresh organic non-GMO free-range Super Saiyan BEEF. Perhaps he should be shorter like his father. But when have animes cared about genetics
Trunks is always a tall bitch and Goku is always so tall and Gohan is always so tall and Goten even is so tall. They're all so tall. And then they keep making Vegeta taller too.
Krillin just has no chance

look im gonna be polite about this and not put this in the ship tag but i really, really do not understand how people genuinely ship goku and chichi when they have negative chemistry with each other. they arent "childhood sweethearts" they knew each other for like 2 days when they were children and didnt meet again for another 7 or 8 years. goku literally didnt know what "asking for her hand" meant and promptly forgot he promised to marry her as soon as she wasnt in his line of sight. she doesnt take no for an answer when they meet again at the tournament. AND some of the first moments in dbz of them as a couple is just how much they dont mesh. chichi doesnt like how he puts their son in danger (fair) and goku doesnt like how overprotective she is. she literally jumps over gokus broken and severely injured body to get to gohan (whos really not in too bad of shape) and then blames goku for gohans injuries. they dont like each other. i just. i really dont see it.

Toriyama : What are you making?
Toei Animation : We are making the "Garlic Jr." Saga, it's filler saga made by us and only us, plus we needed a new character that Krillin needs a girlfriend to Kame's house and would make officially Chichi jealous over Goku. What do you have common.
Toriyama : (pulls she to reveal Maron in her iconic swimsuit)
Toei Animation : My man, Toriyama! You made yourself a lucky day, excellent idea! This should be a great character to be introduced that will make you a millionaire with a lot of money and dollars! We should call this Filler character Maron! Some say that call me mad and made me a filler character in a filler saga, I Toei Animation delcared that Akira Toriyama has created a filler character who will become popular today! This character will be known as "Maron : The Filler Lady in Swimsuits and Bikinis!
Gohan : Ohhh...I feel so weird right now. I...Can't... *DBZ SFX : Energy Blast* DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
[Critical Moment of Contra - Akira Yamaoka]
Yamcha : Can't...take it....any...*DBZ SFX : Energy Blast* GAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Vegeta : What have you done, Toriyama!?! WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOOONE!?!
Goku : KRILLIN, YOU IDIOT!!!
Krillin : [Looks up into the sky] WHY GOOOOOOOD!?!
*Scenario ends*
Krillin : And that's why my Ex-Girlfriend Maron became the most popular female character existed in Dragon Ball History and I eventually named my daughter after her.
Android 18 : That's great, hon'. But you forgot one thing, could anyone tell Android 21 about her appealing to that Maki Oze person that Chichi was infuriated?
Krillin : Wait, what?
*Dbz SFX: Energy Blast*
Krillin :OH, GOD DAMN IT!!! NOT AGAIN! I gotta take care of my groin treatment.

Marriage. 49
Chapter 49: getting along
I completely forgot to tell her about Piccolo! I’m so dead in the morning. Well, at least my last night living was a good one. As I watch my beautiful wife sleep, I tried to come up with how I was going to tell her. Everything I could think of has me meeting being thrown out the house. If not that, definitely having to cook my own meals, while she cooks for only her and Gohan. Anything but that! I’ll take being told to continuing doing chores, sleeping on the couch. Heck, at this point I’ll let her tie me to the bed, and can’t train for another month. I just want to be allowed to eat her cooking again. Wow. Only Chichi, will I’ll actually think about not training to be able to have her. I would say cooking, but let’s face it, I would stop training just for her.
As I watch her go about making breakfast, do I sense him quickly approaching. I whisper to Gohan, to keep Chichi from leaving the kitchen. With that I quietly, as I can, get to the front door, and open it. “Try to stay to a whisper. Yeah, we’re starting training today. But after breakfast. Don’t give me that look. Either we start after breakfast, or we’ll not train at all today. Get’s your hands off me. I really don’t want to upset Chichi so earlier in the morning.” He just gave me a huff, and walked to a tree, far from my home. Piccolo is definitely not a morning person.
When I reentered the kitchen, I was slapped with a frying pan. What the heck. “When were you going to tell me that monster was going to train with you?” I looked to Gohan, and he was shaking his head. “Piccolo is definitely not a morning person.” CRAP! “Now eat your pancakes before I change my mind!” I quickly sat down, and ate breakfast. Mm, blueberry! My favorite!
As I was about to get my sayian armor, mom came into my room, with something blue in her arms. When I went to ask what it was, she just said I should train comfy. I almost didn’t believe it. “Is it really?!” I took it from mom, and unfold it. IT WAS! I hugged mom. “THANK YOU, MOMMY!” Just then dad walked into the room. I ran to him and jumped with excitement, as I tried to show him. “Mommy made me a gi! And it looks almost like Piccolo’s, but it has your style! Mom is so amazing!” Dad ruffled my hair, and it just added to the awesome feeling.
“Well, you better hurry. Don’t want to keep grumpy pants waiting.” I nodded and tried to hurry, while my parents stepped out my room. As I got ready to put it on, I noticed the heart tag. It was just like the one I found on the gi I made. Did mom found my gi, and sew the heart to it? I wanted to cry. My mom really is perfect.
“Chichi?”
“Don’t. I actually made a few. One looks just like yours. But I thought he’ll like that one better.” My wife is too perfect. “Now, come on. Where are you training today?”
“On the east side. A few miles before the ocean. You sure you want to make us lunch, and bring it over there?” She nodded. “I could just instant transmission us home, or we can make our own way home.” She shocked her head. “If you change your mind, you let me know.” She nodded, and I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead.
It’s only been two months since they started training, and I still couldn’t stand him being close to my home. I was happy when he said he only drank water, and didn’t need food. Less work for me. But my perfect little boy just had to make him taste my cooking, and now that guy eats food. As upset, as that made me, it also made me happy to know my cooking had that effect on people.
I started to settle for them to come for dinner, but Gohan had to study three days out of the week. Goku had no problem with that. But a Mr. green giant did. It was late, and dinner was finally done. All four of us were just sitting around in the living room, when Gohan asked to show me something. Goku looked excited, and I could have sworn he also smiled. “Ok, Gohan. Show me.” He formed a ki ball, and then it changed to a different shape. It looked like a star. When did he have time to learn that? He told me, whenever dad made him take breaks, he just played around and figured out he could create shapes. I was so proud of my son.
Another month was looking peaceful, till I found out. When they came home, Gohan comment how their training wasn’t as bad as when Piccolo started training him. Then I just had to ask what he meant. Both Goku and Piccolo stepped out the house, before Gohan could answer me. And when he did, I just couldn’t believe it. How dare that monster leave my baby alone for 6 months! How dare he beat my child everyday and call it training! Neither were allowed back into the house, for the rest of the night. During breakfast, Goku tried to beg for my forgiveness. Also, during breakfast, I noticed Piccolo had a couple of new bruises. I forgave Goku, and I took at Piccolo’s bruises. Goku really did a number on him. Piccolo even asked for my forgiveness, and I forgave him too.
Today Chichi thought it’ll be a good idea to stop by the hospital. I asked why, and she just said that I was getting a checkup. And that from now, every 6 months, I will get one. I asked why, and she was getting mad. So, I stopped asking questions. Soon came Dr. Knight and another doctor; this one was male. I kept reminding myself that he’s not here to touch Chichi. It looks like one of the doctors that did those tests all those years ago. They explain to me that during my checkup it’ll be to keep track of my health. And comes to find out Chichi had let them take a sample of the heart medicine. When she do that?
The whole process was weird, and nerve reckoning. I was put through machine for different type of testing, and viewing. As weird it was, I found out a few things interesting. For starters, I would be considered underweight, by the amount eat and exercise. Also, they had specially made needles to handle my skin. I didn’t like that, but it at least made me feel better I didn’t get poked a lot. Other than my blood, tail, and immune system, I was close to human. Well, there’s other things made me not human, but those were minor and could be over looked. Dr. Seyward said that his team will be making a copy of the medicine. Something about it’s best to have more on standby.
When we got home, I was feeling uneasy. When it was bedtime, I watched Chichi tuck Gohan to bed. As we made our way, to our room, I couldn’t help but pull her closer. “Not tonight, Goku.” Mean. Can we at least snuggle naked? “No.” Doing it anyway. She slapped my arm. Do that again and you’re also going to be naked. “Goku.” It’s no fair. We haven’t really done it since started training. Did I do something wrong? “Not really, just been exhausted. Don’t give me that look.” I just picked her over my shoulder, went into our room, locked the door and set her on the bed.
“Tell me what’s wrong.”
“Nothing is wrong.”
“If nothings wrong, then you won’t mind me doing this.” I undress her, but making sure to not rip anything. “Talk or the bra next.” She actually started to giggle and tried to get away. “Oh no you don’t.”
My husband truly is something else. I keep trying to tell him nothing’s wrong, but he doesn’t believe me. And to top it off, he’s currently thrusting me from behind, and grabbing my hips a little hard. It feels really good, but I don’t know how much longer I could last. Every time I come down, from a climax, he ask me if something is wrong. If I continue saying no, he takes me again. I’m actually getting exhausted, but he won’t stop. He even tried to feed me a senzu bean, to keep going. But I’m not lying about nothing is wrong. For once I actually wish he got exhausted. I don’t know how much my body can take.
What am I saying? With one more thrust, he had me coming again. “You, sure nothing is wrong?”
“Fine, I’ll tell you.” He sat cross legs on the bed, and placed me his lap. He licked the ‘mate mark’ and even purred. “I’m upset that Gohan will be our only baby. And that I’m basically watching him go into a battle as a child.” Goku had stopped licking my neck, and held me tighter.
“Does my Chichi want another baby?” I just nod. “But what if—”
“Don’t finish that question, mister! I want another baby! All because there’s a big fight doesn’t mean we have to fully put our lives on hold. I want another baby. And I want my husband to actually be here!” I don’t know when or how, but I had started crying, and Goku just held onto me closer. I could feel him rubbing my back, and saying how it’ll be ok. I truly want to believe that, but I just can’t. My husband, and now son, are going into an unpredictable battle, with no guarantees. “All I’m asking if for something to hold on to. Is that too much to ask?”
He held my face, as his thumbs wiped my tears. “No, no. It’s not too much to ask.” He kissed me. “You deserve everything your heart wants.” He kissed me again. I then felt his hand on my stomach. “We’ll try for another baby. But.” I looked at him, hoping it’s nothing bad. “If it’s a girl we’re naming her after your mom.” I just couldn’t contain my joy, as I pulled him into a long kiss. My Goku is truly perfect. He laid me on my back, and kissed along my neck. “And this one gets the honor of having an amazing big brother.” I couldn’t stop smiling at that, as I felt Goku thrust in me, for the 20th time tonight.
Mom sure is walking funny this morning, and dad seems a little too happy. Mr. Piccolo looks like he wants to vomit. Also, mom and dad smell funny. Well, a lot of things are weird about this picture. I woke up in the middle of the night, sensing mom and dad’s ki being super high for no reason. Plus, the weird noises. I need to get out of here, before I find out what’s going on. Telling from Mr. Piccolo’s face, I definitely shouldn’t be near my parents right now.
Dad sure acting funny, while training. He literally let Mr. Piccolo hit him, and he has a weird smile on his face. I can’t with this. I have half a mind to ask what’s going on, but the other half is too scared to want to know. That’s when I saw Mr. Piccolo hit the back of dad’s head, and screaming at him to get his mind back on training. Dad just apologizes, and nervously laughs. Note to self, when parents act weird, get as far as possible away from home.
When the boys got back home, there were a few things off. Piccolo was dragging Goku insides, Gohan didn’t want to enter the house, and Goku looked beat up but smiling. “Dear, what in kami names happened to you? And why doesn’t Gohan want to come inside?” He just pulls me down for a kiss, and tries to pull me into a hug. I pull away, and slapped his hands. “Down boy. Did you have that smile the whole-time training?” He nodded. “Did Piccolo beat you up?” He said he let him. “Why?” You. I blushed at that. “GOKU! GO APOLOGIZE TO PICCOLO AND GET GOHAN IN HERE FOR DINNER!”
“But Chichi. I have you all to myself.” He then grabbed me and pulled me into his lap. He started kissing my neck, and messaging my breasts through my clothes. He purred into my ear. “I promise Piccolo, I’ll let him beat me up, if he keeps a watch over Gohan tonight.” I screamed and quickly got out of his reach.
“YOU DID WHAT?” I couldn’t believe my ears. He got up from the floor and quickly pulled me over his shoulders.
“Wife wants baby. Husband is going to give her baby.” I couldn’t help but gulp at that. I was completely mortified, excited, but mortified he’s really doing this. It’s almost like what happened the first time we saw shooting stars as a married couple. CRAP!
“Goku, hon.” He stopped before entering our room. “Aren’t you hungry? You know how I hate my cooking going cold.” He looked slightly annoyed, but he went back downstairs, to eat. I just saved myself, for a few minutes at least. Now to pray I’ll be able to stand tomorrow. These are going to be the toughest, and longest, 2 and a half years of my life.
I’m so happy Piccolo agree to this. Now I get Chichi all to myself. “Wife wants baby. Husband is going to give her baby.” CRAP! Uh? Why did Chichi say that? Doesn’t my Chichi still want baby? I was now starting to feel slightly sad.
“Goku, hon. Aren’t you hungry? You know how I hate my cooking going cold.” I can’t believe this. As much as I love an angry wife, I hate cold food, too. Chichi’s food is best eaten when warm or hot. As I ate, I actually started to wonder if this was a good idea. One hand, make Chichi happy and I get the added fun of enjoying my wife. On the other hand, do we really want to bring a baby into the world, where there’s no telling if it’ll have a future. Maybe after today we’ll see what would be the answer.
After we ate, and I watched her wash dishes, did I carried her over my shoulders again to our room. Once inside, I put on her feet, and kissed her. I tried to be as careful as possible removing her clothes. I could tell she was shaking. was she nervous? I stopped, and placed my hands on her hips. “What’s the matter? Do you not want this anymore?” I placed kisses on her forehead. I then heard her whimpering, and I looked down at her face. “What’s the matter, Chichi?” She just hugs me, and continues to cry. All I could is hug her, and rub her back. “Tell me what’s wrong, please.”
Between her cries she tried telling me, how selfish she feels for only thinking about herself. How she doesn’t feel like a supportive wife and mother. I still don’t get where this is coming from. “Maybe it’s best we wait till we make another baby. You boys need to focus.” I just hug her tighter. My Chichi truly is perfect. “Stop saying I’m perfect. I’m nowhere near perfect.”
“You’re perfect to me and Gohan, so that’s all that matters.” She started crying again, and hugged me tighter. I don’t deserve you. “And I don’t deserve you.” With that we shared one more kiss, and got ready for bed.
What is going on here? Yesterday parents acting weird, have a funny smell, and dad not focused on training. Today everything seems to be back to normal. Are they playing some sick game with me? I don’t like this. I looked to Mr. Piccolo for answers, and even he seems confused. Today not only is dad’s head back in training, he’s actually going heavier than before. Did mom and dad have a adult talk yesterday, and they planning something. I’m scared, very, very scared.
If I ever get inside a car, while dad is driving, I need to be at the ready to get out. It was funny to watch him and Mr. Piccolo race, but I wouldn’t want to be in that car. I still in disbelief mom got both of them to do this. Now I know the dos and don’ts of driving; well, kind of. And now, we found out we were invited to a party, by Bulma. I have a bad feeling about this. Don’t get me wrong. Having fun in between training is nice, but Mr. Piccolo is just outraged. Mom just reasoned with us that there’s nothing stopping us from enjoying life, at every chance we get. Saying how every moment counts, just for Mr. Piccolo to say that’s why we should be training. Me and dad just ate snacks, while they went back and forth.
