Oh hi there, it's been a minute!

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

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

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

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

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

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

youtube

Anyway let's get back to the plot:

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

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

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

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

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

Everyone's designs look amazing!

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

Anywaaaay!

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

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

And some new and old names!!

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

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

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

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

Also I smell Demon lore.

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

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

Prolly.

(My shoulder is still killing me when I type, so, late and probably only offer for the Monthly Minekura Christmas challenge. Too bad, Seemed like such a nice challenge @monthlyminekura was offering. I loved when it crossed my dash.)

Obviously late for Day 1: Bells

Fanfic - Saiyuki Gaiden.

Jingle in Paradise

Sekai, down below, is a messy place, a chaotic place. This is why dreams exist, some divinities surmise, to allow the pathetic creatures living there to try and make sense of their absurd world and meaningless lives in their sleep…

Whereas Tenkai? Beautiful. Quiet. Orderly and perfect. Souls are blessed and untroubled, there.

Therefore, kamis don’t dream.

(Usually.)

For a while, Kenren-taishou hadn’t even had the words for this fake reality invading his sleep and leaving behind a strange taste to his waking hours…

Always the same images.

The overpowering sound of the falling rain, its cold hitting his bare shoulders as he walks. Darkness, the road, the man on the ground. Lying there, face down. Bleeding. He knows who it is. At once. Kenren just… knows. And when the wounded man reveals his face, and smiles… It’s even worse to be proven right.

Waking up, heart pounding, breathing hard. Reaching for the pack of cigarettes to chase the smell of wet earth and metallic blood still very present in his nostrils… It’s his morning routine, now…

Yume. He’s found the word in one of Tenpou’s beloved books. Dream.

But having a name to put on the phenomena doesn’t really help. So he distracts himself some other ways, accepts to run ridiculous errands for Tenpou on Earth below to fill his days between military missions and duties. So he forgets to sleep. (After all, kamis don’t really need to.)

That day, when he comes back home, with a small stock of Tenpou’s favourite cigarette’s brand, he’s in a reasonably high mood. Doesn’t even knock before making his way into Tenpou’s library. Still stops dead, though.

Obviously a tree standing in Tenpou’s office is not the weirdest thing Kenren-taishou has seen in his superior officer’s place. Plus he’s the one who got ropped into dragging it in here a few days ago, so, there’s that. (Yes, Tenpou had tried to explain. No, Kenren is still not sure he gets this Sekai “Chrissmass” thing and the point of it. Though he kinda liked the way the word had curled the marshal’s lips, so unfamiliar on his tongue, and the twinkle of delight it created in the man’s green eyes.) What’s more incongruous is the treatment Goku is inflicting on it. He must have zoned out when Tenpou explained, because he can’t fathom why the gaki is basically dressing the poor piece of vegetation in tinsel and adorning it with shiny stuff…

While the kid, back to him and still unaware of his presence, chatters his heart out to his Ten-chaaaaan!, asking of him his thoughts on his efforts, Tenpou stands right there, a faint contented smile floating on his lips and curling around an unlit cigarette.

Kenren sighs indulgently (he sometimes suspects Tenpou would forget his head weren’t it attached to his body), drops his package on a low table and draws closer to his superior officer in order to offer him his lighter.

Tenpou, after bending his neck a little to meet the flame, smiles his thanks, expression for once uncomplicated and somewhat almost blinding for it.

Kenren reflexively smiles back.

“Tadaima,�� the general says, a tad too soft.

“Okaeri,” Tenpou replies, oddly solemn, and oh-so warm…

And sometimes, they just don’t need more words. Both lapse into silence, watching Goku have his fun.

There’s a soft sound, then, that comes from a corner of the room. The one of a page turned.

Oh, the blond grouch his there, too.

Curled on Tenpou’s office chair, his long legs tucked under him in a slightly bizarre way, at Tenpou’s desk, nose deep in one of Tenpou’s books. Kenren can’t help but think he’s out of place here. But where would Konzen-douji be if not far from his little charge, right?

Must have felt the weight of the general’s gaze, too, because the blond sourpuss raises his eyes after a few seconds.

His nose does this frowning thing, and Konzen glares a bit, too, as if he objected to the just lit cigarettes: he has a vague gesture of the hand as if to chase the delicate smoke that hasn’t even reached him yet, Kenren is sure.

Heaven forbid Konzen would look like he was enjoying himself being here, right, once he’d noticed he was watched…

But Kenren had seen.

For once there’d been this inabitual bubble of calm around Kanzeon-bosatsu’s nephew, very unlike this ever present buzz of irritation surrounding the man at any given time that often gets under Kenren’s skin.

The general could go at it, needle the man a bit. Changes his mind, though, and turns his attention back to Tenpou.

“Hey,” he simply calls, reaching for something tiny in his leather coat’s pocket and throwing it in the marshal’s direction.

He brings back little odd things from down below Tenpou hasn’t asked for, sometimes. Can’t help it, the marshal is so easily delighted…

The marshal snatches it from mid-air without much effort, in spite of his sloppy appearance. People forget, sometimes, that Tenpou is a soldier, a very good fighter at that, with the good reflexes it entails.

In his palm, a little sphere, something golden and delicately inlaid, with only a tiny slit on the metal and a tiny little ring to hang it, probably. Tenpou grabs it with two fingers to raise it closer to his eyes.

And they have drawn the kid’s attention too, now :

“A new christmas ornament? How did you know!” Goku exclaims, already reaching for the little thing.

But Kenren grabs him by the scruff of his scrawny neck. He loves the kid. To pieces. Still… and it feels ridiculous to say it out loud, but :

“It was for you,” he tells the marshal who was about to let the itan child have the gift. “It sings,” he awkwardly adds, then.

With his chibi saru-free hand, the general sends a finger nudge the thing in Tenpou’s grasp, and as he knew it would, the little ball hidden inside the golden shell moves, eliciting a delicate little sound.

“Yes, it would be wasted, just hanging still on a branch,” the marshal eventually acquiesces, brows already furrowed in reflexion, eyes invisible behind the harsh reflexion off his glasses. And without warning, he’s a flurry of activity. In three strides, he’s near a startled Konzen, reaching over him for a drawer, fishing into it, of all things, for a little ball of thin but solid wire and a little pincer.

It takes him hardly three seconds to figure out a way to fasten the sphere on the wire and create a little hook at the other end. Then, the marshal’s hands fly to the side of his head.

Not even a hint of hesitation, and he’s piercing skin and flesh pushing the metal through the little round part, till the gold orb hangs at his ear.

Kenren stays stunned for a full second. He hadn’t seen this one coming. But in the little things like the big, Tenpou is sometimes reckless to a point that could scare a lesser man than the general. (Who he is he kidding? Totally and indubitably scares him when he ventures to think about it.)

“What do you think? You said it was for me, right?” Tenpou says, smiling a bit like a proud loon around this cigarette he has managed to keep between his lips all along. He turns his head a little on his slender neck to show off, and a little ringing sound comes out the little sphere as if to gently underline the gesture.

It allows for Kenren’s hand to find the side of this face, on the pretence of angling it for a better sight.

A pearl of redness gathers at the puncture wound and collapses on itself, truly miniscule rivulet down the abused lobe.

It’s nothing, but it’s like a jolt to Kenren…

And the familiar images come, unbidden, while he’s still wide awake this time.

The overpowering sound of the falling rain, its cold hitting his bare shoulders—

Gravity makes its office, and the scarlet drop hits the shoulder of Tenpou’s labcoat. (Shocking) little flower.

“Chi.” Goku says, his little face raised to them. Tone odd.

There’s something in the way the kid’s nostril flare. Something flinty, for a second, obscures his golden gaze, suddenly metallic instead of warm. He’s like a different being for a second, one who could could inspire terror.

But the flash on the gaki’s features is so brief it feels like Kenren has just imagined this, that he can blame his already frayed nerves…

And the general doesn’t know what takes over him. He gathers the marshal to him by way of grabbing his labcoat, and leans in, on an impulse, towards the man. Till his lips are on Tenpou’s earlobe. The iron-y salt of blood and the tiniest hint of a real metal’s taste mingle on his tongue. He feels his officer still. And tense. Tenpou’s hand is suddenly on his arm, its message unclear. Stop. Or… Don’t you dare stop. Kenren wouldn’t know. Maybe Tenpou doesn’t either.

Goku, oblivious anew, saves them from public awkwardness, dragging his Ten-chan back to their tree… Since they are not conversing anymore, it must be alright for him to get back his friend to keep him to himself.

Kenren decides not to acknowledge how suddenly bereft he feels.

Also, now it’s on his tongue that the taste of blood lingers.

The overpowering sound of the falling rain, its cold hitting his bare shoulders, the darkness the road and the dying man, bleeding and smi—

Stop, the general tells himself, feeling uneasy. Now the dark thoughts hunt him even awake… What the hell is happening to him?

He feels a gaze on him and, whip-sharp, his head turns on his neck, catching Konzen’s eyes.

It’s a frown subtly different from the usual scowl, on the blond’s face. More considering. Almost… worried. And directed at him.

How odd, Kenren thinks.

But already the divine bureaucrat is averting his eyes. He has surprised Konzen’s eyes on him, and the blond god is probably as embarrassed at having been caught looking as Kenren himself is by his own lapse of attention, by how he has let his own discomfort show…

But he’s a soldier. He knows tactics. He knows… diversion.

He pastes his patented shit-eating grin on his face, and with a jerk of his chin, indicates Tenpou.

“Ever told you how I met him, Goldie?” And Konzen frowns a little, not entirely duped but curious nonetheless. “Came into his office and found him buried under piles of his own books.”

The great Konzen-douji can’t help a particularly unelegant snort.

“That would have been such a stupid way to lose him,” Konzen manages to offer. His book is definitively forgotten on his crossed legs.

“Heh. There an intelligent way?” Kenren needles.

It’s a just glance, that’s thrown his way. A flash of violet. But with a might and a steel you wouldn’t be used to, thinking of the spoiled nephew of the great Kanzeon-bosatsu. Surpringly, it cows Kenren the tiniest little bit.

“Yeah, no way we’re losing Tenpou,” the general weakly agrees, hardly above a whisper. Because the alternative is unthinkable. “Not that this itan kid of yours is better anyway at staying out of trouble,” he still feels the need to retaliate.

Over there near the tree, the marshal is giving a boost to the heretic child in question so he can reach the higher branches. Tenpou’s move makes the little sphere at his ear tinkle again.

It derails them both a little:

“Like a bell on a cat,” Konzen unexpectedly comments, and there’s something speculative in his gaze as it then flies to his charge, like it gives him an idea, and in a way, Kenren gets why. How tempting it would be to be able to always know where the kid is, be sure to be able not to lose him.

Kenren has spoken about this with Tenpou more than once. They’re just like Konzen. The three of them feel it, that unclear menace gathering around this kid. Even in this perfect place Heaven is supposed to be.

When has Paradise stopped being Paradise?

But then Goku says something that unexpectedly wrenches a surprised laugh out of Tenpou, and as the marshal’s body shakes in delighted mirth and he throws his head back, the little bell once again jingles.

And for a second, Kenren is able to forget the disturbing thoughts. He just drinks the sight.

Tenkai is paradise once again. A place where souls are supposed to be blessed and untroubled.

The End

wait rephrasing the previous ask, what do you think of gohan as a character from buu saga to Z and after.

obsessed with this AND gohan ive loved him since i was 9 i love him so fucking much hes my boy hes my baby hes my favorite db character on anyday when future trunks isnt fighting him for that spot. son gohan my fucking beloved. i think the thing with gohan is that he both likes to fight and doesn't and this fucks up db fans so much. gohan likes to fight casually, he likes martial arts just fine. he just doesn't like it when he's forced to do it because of evil or if causes major death and suffering, and he isn't as obsessed with it as goku and vegeta are (especially goku who he specifically says that he doesn't like fighting the way goku does).

he enjoyed being saiyaman and training goten for the world tournament, both of which were pretty low-stakes for someone like him vs goku who constantly looks for big opponents because he craves that fight to get stronger. his priority isn't to fight for the hell of it, which is totally fine. what i love about him is that even though he doesn't like to fight as much as goku does he WILL step up when needed and that showed in the cell fight and buu saga.

SPEAKING OF BUU SAGA. well mostly saiyaman and world tournament saga. i love gohan during these arcs please it was so much fun to watch him do silly things like be saiyaman and go to high school😭 he and videl are sooo cute and i just love the hilarity that videl falls in love with the kid whose win her dad took credit for HDHDJSJJS hes so silly. i love him.

i do think he was severely underutilized in buu saga especially when he went ultimate vs buu and got his ass kicked. but in hindsight it is kind of funny. in db super he's sidelined again which is sad (i really do not care for goku and vegeta in super anymore JDJDJDHDHDH I WANT MY HALF SAIYANS) but i LOVE what the last movie (dbs super hero) did with him!! with goku and vegeta of course gohan doesn't feel the need to train so rigorously anymore and he can just be a nerd (affectionate) but i like how dbs gives him a reason to keep up, i.e. protecting pan. dbs super hero is def my favorite db movie so far i just 🥺 gohan and his baby girl....

anyway tldr i love gohan and how kind and nerdy he is and even though he doesnt like fighting because of conflict he does step up when needed especially to protect the people he loves. i adore him. one of my forever boys fr. RIP toriyama you will be missed.

#i think adrian reminds me sm of him and its why i love adrian a lot too. HDJDJSJSJS #dragon ball #son gohan #kit tag #answered

I don’t think I’ll ever post them (unless I severely rewrite them, they’re too personally based as they are currently) but my two main self insert/ x reader stories are:

BHNA: Assistant Teacher for the staff of UA (not like a TA in college, an actual teacher who assists the other teachers. Would be late 20s- early 30s aged. ) Personally I can only imagine myself as quirkless. And my personal self insert is a former “manager” (handler/assistant?) for two hero ocs in America and later became a high school teacher and works with troubled kids with quirks.

I struggle with this one a bit as I’d like to be able to focus on all of the Staff of UA but I have so little grasp on all their characterizations, and the fact we haven’t seen much of the day to day of life at UA. Fairly All Might focused- as he’s my fave but again I would want to include more of the staff. (Aizawa, Midnight, Mic, Vlad and so on.)

Timeline wise it’s placed post All Might’s retirement (and Dorms existing) but kinda pauses in the canon after that?? (Major events, specifically the war stuff going on it the manga?)

I’d likely have to introduce some ocs (that would largely be off screen). Might introduce them anyways- as they’re a huge part of my daydreaming stories outside of fanfic. My superhero-verse ocs have been beloved to me since before BNHA.

Dragon Ball: After some Saiyan shenanigans, you end up dating both Goku + ChiChi AND Vegeta + Bulma. (The couples stay separate, this isn’t a 5some situation.) Vaugely set in “Super”.

The main set up for the plot is: As part time tutor for Goten, you end up staying the night with the Sons (even if Goten is away said night) and you end up sleeping with Goku and ChiChi. During which, Goku ends up biting you- leaving a mark. Which means nothing to you in the end, except a tentative relationship with the couple.

Vegeta eventually finds out about this and is furious that Goku would do something like this- impulsively claim a secondary mate, not going through the proper process of doing so. Turns out this is a old Saiyan custom (from far before Freiza had reign of planet Vegeta), taking a secondary “mate” (I’ve called them ‘concubines’ but I don’t think that’s right?)- particularly a lower classed one.

It also wasn’t uncommon for rival Saiyans to fight over the same secondary mate (as prideful Saiyans would never go after someone’s husband/wife.) Thus, you jokingly offer for Vegeta to go through the “ritual” of becoming a secondary mate- with Bulma and him.

This concept might not really make any sense, I guess. But…. Fanfic lmao.

I don’t know if I’m articulating these ideas well enough. Will I actually ever share these stories? Idk. But I wanted to put them out there. This isn’t everything I could say- but I’ll never post this if I keep going.

These aren’t my only stories but, these are more like the multi chaptered/ scenario stories I imagine. I have a Piccolo fic wip but that’s more of a one shot kinda in my head.

Oh also I usually write fem + chubby reader cause.. I’m that lmao.

Anyways, this is a small portion of the ideas about the dumb little stories I think about (and occasionally tippy tap into my phone.) I can talk more about them if anyone has any questions and stuff.

Probably a stretch, but a gif set of The Roaming Lake compared to GT, like gifs from TRL on one side and GT on the other?

I like the idea, and I actually did get some clips of The Roaming Lake last night, but the problem is that The Roaming Lake is really, really bad for making gifs because very little actually happens.

See, I watched it last night with the sound turned down, and when you can't hear anything, and there's no subtitles, the experience gets much, much worse. That's because most of the episode is just characters standing perfectly still while they talk to each other. There's that long part at the beginning where the main characters go their separate ways, and then Roshi talks to the saleswoman about panties, and then Nam talks to the villagers, and by now the episode is half over.

I went in thinking I could get a cute gif of the villager kids splashing around in a pool, but it turns out that's not even animated. They just put a still image up for a couple of seconds.

Eventually, characters do start to move around, but none of it looks very good. I remember having this problem when I liveblogged it in 2019. My goal at the time was to gif every episode, and this was the first one where I had trouble finding anything to use. I finally went with Goku firing the Kamehameha at Giran's dam, but even that's pretty weak. It looks okay, but there must be a couple hundred Kamehamehas in the anime. But that's the best sequence in the whole episode. I mean, I got some stuff of Goku in the Roaming Lake, but that was mainly for sentimental value, as the Lake has improbably become a beloved recurring character in this blog.

Anyway, I already knew GT would be pretty tough for finding good gif material, which is why the 2023 Liveblog didn't include a gif theme. And since I have mathematically proven every episode of GT is worse than The Roaming Lake, I think a side-by-side gif comparison would be pretty unpleasant to look at. Interesting, yes, but not what I'm going for with this.

To be fair, there's some flashes of good art and animation in GT, but it usually shows up in odd places, or it's a static image that doesn't lend itself to gifs. For example, I was thinking of doing that shot of Baby disintegrating as his ship crashes into the sun, but there's not a lot else that springs to mind. I feel like most GT gifs end up being Pan or Goku talking, or really plodding action sequences.

But I'll take a look at GT and see if there's anything else worth looking up...

Oop that link actually opens the asks woah :0

HI FREND!! :D! Gohan moment… Ough… Beloved nerd boy. Idk what the overarching ask stuff is about but I share interpretation based on some of the asks I’ve seen and because it’s Gohan time >:]

Tbh my interpretation of him isn’t that he despises/doesn’t enjoy fighting at all because of the fact the whole Saiyaman arc exists. To me it’s more that he likes fighting but only on his own terms in a fight that he knows he can win.

Against an enemy he can surely tell is weaker, who isn’t a true threat and where he’s helping people by taking them down, then he might have a blast in the fight. Testing his strength out, not going rusty Y’know? It’s just fun! He’s still half-Saiyan so his craving for battle is still there but just to a much lesser degree.

When it comes to fights he’s forced into or where the stakes are so much higher… Thats when he starts to hate it. Unfortunately a lot of the fights the other Saiyans DO enjoy are ones just like that, which would have that expectation of ‘I’m supposed to like fighting when it gets tough’. Of course that view is based on opinion, preference and nothing else. Like someone who likes to play easy games to feel good vs someone who plays tough ones for challenge.

Gohan likes to take it easy, get action in the form of little fights against human criminals where he can use a bit of his power. When it comes to anything with higher stakes it’s a whole other story.

Also funnily enough- To me Gohan beast isn’t what most of the fandom seems to interpret it as (uncontrollable, full of rage etc.). To me it feels more like a cold, controlled power that has him give in to his Saiyan battle drive a bit more, but that is ultimately powered by his love and desire to protect his family and therefore keeps him grounded. This feels especially true to me considering how easily he was able to switch out of it after the battle and the fact he was just kind of… Chatting with Piccolo. Barely bothered by it.

Compared to most of the characters in the show Gohan is considerably more analytical and thoughtful, so he feels much less likely to give in to an uncontrollable rage as an adult. He’s just so full of love and care and has a family and friends, his human emotion keeps him in check when he fights to protect them. To Goku (majority of the time) and Vegeta battles are challenges, to Gohan they’re threats to his most cherished family. Unlike the others he just can’t find any semblance of joy in fights when majority of them he’s been a part of have just been… Life or death.

Heem heem ;-; Is my thoughts. More than I thought I’d write… ough…

Prefacing this to tell you the link is just to my /ask so yes the link opens the ask HAHAHAHA and the discourse was just opened because I wanted people to tell me their gohan opinions no matter what it is !!

HI FRIEND !!! You continue to have very interesting takes on the characters :]

I agree that gohan does like fighting smaller fights— it’s the stakes that make everything less enjoyable. Gohan doesn’t want the whole world to blow up if he loses !!! He would much rather have a friendly spar with the consequences being very inconsequential (pay the tab for dinner tonight, gohan)

And well, gohan has never been bloodthirsty, though his emotional capacity to go sicko mode has been there as a kid … but. He’s had enough time to grow out of it and come to terms with those emotions and learn to manage them. I agree with you (though I DO like the interpretation that he can and will go feral and also that he will get mad and stomp around if you insult his action figures (see: buu saga))

Gohan beast is cool but it’s literally just another ssj2 gohan v cell literally down to the core so any new interpretation is welcome. I don’t know if I really would say I think it’s him being cold and calculating but he very obviously wasn’t out of control. He had his wits about him and once the problem was solved he was able to relax whatever. So I agree there. I didn’t care a whole lot for that whole part of the movie so I zoned out 🤷

I think it’s because he is so full of love that gohan has so much capacity to go apeshit though and that’s why I think that became his thing.

Lovely interpretation of his character thank you so much for sending this to me!!!

Medias Who Failed Due to Picking the Wrong Guy as the MC

As a writer myself, I can confirm that it’s not easy writing a great story and it is even harder to write a great main character (MC), but sometimes, the solution is right in your face: pick someone else to be the MC and that alone fixes EVERYTHING. And no, I am not exaggerating. When you pick someone else to take lead of the story, it changes things and sometimes, for the better. Here are a few medias from movies, to shows, to video games who missed the mark due to running with the wrong guy and who should have been the MC instead... Also note that the following is my personal opinion not absolute. Feel free to disagree.

Note that there are spoilers ahead!

Final Fantasy 7: It should have been Barret Wallace. - I know Cloud is beloved for his pretty face and big sword, but if we’re talking about who should have been in the hero’s seat, Barret should have been it. And not just because he would have the first FF MC of his type (black, middle aged, a parent, widower, etc.). Barret had motives that were both heroic and personal at the same time in that he wants to save the planet, but he also has a personal stake against Shin-Ra in what it took from him. Had he been treated like a serious character and took the lead, I think the plot of FF7 would have been much better and he would have brought out better in the cast. In fact, I see so many parallels between him and Cecil from FF4. Also, Barret has a perfect balance between heart and flaws. Not to mention that unlike Cloud, he let go of making everything personal and began to fight for the right reasons in the end. He’s a badass and let’s face it, there aren’t enough MCs out there who are good dads.

Family Matters: It should have kept being Carl and Harriet Winslow. - In the beginning, the underrated couple of sitcom TV were the MC’s, but then the network decided to center the show around Steve Urkel who isn’t even a member of the family. Now, I like Steve Urkel, but he should have stayed a side character the same way Kimmy Gibbler did on Full House. When Carl and Harriet were at the helm, the show was relatable, grounded and just whimsical enough to be fun for the whole family. In never got too silly and did not shy away from serious topics. Most importantly, there was character development which I would have loved to see continue. Steve Urkel may have helped Family Matters get back on its feet, but it was fully capable of continuing to stand on its own and should have.

The Simpsons: It should have kept being Bart Simpson. - Like Family Matters, this kid was the MC initially and he was great. Bart represented what the Simpsons family embodied and why we loved it: it isn’t perfect or saintly, but filled with love and goodness. Bart is also a fun character to follow because he isn’t just funny. He’s resourceful, clever and is quite the hero. Homer is funny, but... when he took the lead, he took the show in another direction which was fun in the beginning, but in the end, became too silly. If Bart stayed in the driver’s seat, the show would have kept its focus as well as its identity. He probably would have also lead it to ending a lot sooner, but that’s not a bad thing.

Dragon Ball Z: It should have been Gohan. - I always got the impression that a part of Akira Toriyama wanted to pass the reigns down to the kid, but never wound up doing so which in my opinion, was a waste. Goku had his heroic arc during the first arc, but in the Z arc, the plot seemed to always lean towards needing a hero like Gohan because he was a better fit for what was needed. You see, Goku is noble too, but he fights for honour and to prove himself. Gohan fights because he must and because he wants to protect those he loves. Had Gohan been the star, I think Z arc could have been much better and Goku would have learned to (finally) grow up alongside his son. I mean, it’s not a bad thing to let go and accept that your journey has come to an end. Where one ends, another begins.

Transformers (2007): It should have been Mikaela Banes. - From the moment she literally took Ravage apart with a chainsaw without messing up her hair, we knew she was more than a pretty face. Mikaela is a fighter and a noble one. The only reason she had a criminal record was because she refused to sell out her dad and even then, there’s more to her. She’s smart, she’s brave, she’s resourceful and has long term life goals. She doesn’t play around nor does she let her involvement with the Transformers get to her head (unlike Sam Witwicky). And as the AU graphic novels showed us, she’s also a born leader. In my opinion, when she left Sam, Bumblebee should have followed suit and followed her instead.

Final Fantasy 6: It should have been Celes Chere. - Don’t get me wrong, Terra is a badass and belonged in the main cast, but she constantly needed to be kicked in the pants. At times, she even came across as a damsel in distress. Celes was always motivated of her own accord and she is a born leader. After all, she took the reigns when Terra was out for the count and during the end of the world, she brought the team back together. And let’s face it, her romance with Locke is heartwarming.

Full House/Fuller House: It should have been Danny Tanner. - Possibly the earliest case of a character getting hijacked in their own show... The story of Full House in general was originally Danny’s story about trying to raise his three daughters after becoming a widower with the help of his best friend and brother-in-law. Had Danny not become the show’s sad clown and instead was the lead, not only would have caught a break, the show itself would have flourished. After all, Danny is raising the family not the other way around. And quite frankly, Michelle as a main character made her and the show insufferable. I even think he should have remained the main character in the sequel series as he has experience being a single parent to pass onto to DJ. If anything, it would have still had that little bit of maturity that the audience so hungrily craved.

Star Wars Episodes 7, 8, 9: It should have been Finn as the hero and Rey as the villain. - I don’t want to be the fan who knocks down the new trilogy because in its defense, it had good bones and introduced good characters who had potential. The problem was that they were given the wrong roles in the story. Finn clearly had a connection to the force and was as plain as day MC material from the get go because like all great Star Wars MCs, he started from the bottom while being clumsy and worked his way up to being a capable young man. In fact, Finn always was motivated and capable. He was just grounded and relatable too because he is still learning to be a rebel. I can say that every time he was on screen, he always inspired me even when he was making mistakes. On the flipside, Rey also had potential, but if there’s one thing she should wound up being, it was the big bad because her greatest motivation was wanting a family though in a way that was obsessive and in so long as she was not in a position where she beneath someone. In other words, her story has a lot of parallels with Anakin Skywalker. Had she gone to the dark side, it ironically would have made her more human because it shows how wanting something obsessively (in her case, a family) even when it is something good, it can become twisted and make you do terrible things. Star Wars is all about growing and working hard towards greatness while cautioning the audience about the pitfalls of obsession, anger and selfishness.

Anyway, that is my list. Do you agree or have anything to add? Let me know. Thanks for reading and as always, stay safe.

*holds a microphone up to you* I am curious about your DBZ ocs, tell me a little bit about them pretty please?

Hi yes hello I literally never got a notification for this!

I have 4 of them! Technically 5 but we don't talk about Dear Goo Boy they came about as a result of my pals @emizel @invizdable and i getting into xenoverse 2.

There's Cayenne, a normal ass human teen that dreams of kicking Gonku's (read: Goku's) ass because she's sick and tired of the Z fighters (namely the saiyans tbh) blowing shit up because it personally inconveniences her. She doesn't have a hope in hell, but she's too stupid to quit. But what she lacks in brains and actual fighting technique she makes up for in spirit and YELLING REALLY FUCKING LOUD ALL THE TIME. She currently lives with Yamcha and his OC family who are all owned by @emizel. She also has a hella android Time Patroller girlfriend (who is also owned by @emizel). She's mostly on the sidelines these days because she's already kind of living her best life rn, but she's got character development on the horizon tho, someday...

Bragi, my fucking beloved, self-proclaimed Best Boy Ever, is a prodigy Supreme Kai attendant in training from Universe 5 that got grounded to U7 for being way too full of himself and having generally anti-mortal sentiments. (Read: Zamasu behavior). Now he's working in Time Patrol as a janitor "Maintenace Specialist." Thanks to the power of friendship and forcing him to deal with his trauma and a literal Good Noodle Star system, he's a lot nicer now (though still really fully of himself). These days he's busy being adopted by a little majin Karen(TM) with a :3 face and her human kinda sorta younger sister (who are owned by @invizdable) and kind of doesn't want to go home anymore. Uh-oh

Aneas is the West Kai of U5, who basically got the job after being dared to put his name in the lottery for it. He has no idea what he's doing and he's in way over his head (not hard to do because he is Very Short), but it's okay because he has a bunch of (non-sentient) plants to talk to and also a lovely wife (who is a former war criminal and apprentice of Towa who also belongs to @emizel) and their son (who is also literally just a plant). They're both just dumb teen(equivalent)s at the end of the day but they love each other very much. You have to be niceys to him. All the horrible plot things keep happening at his house for some reason--

Tomor is also a shinjin/core person/fruitboy from U5 but he's just a tea farmer. He was friends with Bragi and Aneas as kids but they drifted apart after Bragi went hurtling down the gifted kid burnout pipeline and Aneas got the job Tomor dared him to "apply" for. He'd like to get the gang back together but they've kind of outgrown his rude, immature class clown tendencies. Also he's kind of a Republican which does not fucking help-- He sucks (affectionate) (derogatory).

I have a hot sexy sideblog called @sadfruitthreatre and you can read more about these guys (and all the guys surrounding them) in my intros tag! (or any of my other tags if u feel like, there's a masterpost pinned)

#kateh's oc tag #forgive me my friends for i have tagged you 9000 times

Dragon Ball: Majin Buu - In all his entirety

Welcome to the House of Milesverse. Today? We will be discussing one of the most dangerous villains in Dragon Ball history.

Dragon Ball Z is one of the most popular anime series in the world. It's beloved across multiple countries, and it has left an impact on pop culture.

There are multiple villains throughout the series run. Today, we'll be discussing one of the most dangerous villains. At the height of his power, he was the most powerful enemy of the Z era.

Today, we will be discussing a new kind of threat. This is different than my usual comic book rants. Today, we'll be going over not only a DBZ fan but also one of my favorite DBZ antagonists.

He goes by many names. The evil Kirby rip-off (kidding), the ultimate menace, the absorbing adversary. Yet one name rings throughout the cosmos that creates fear. Even the iconic Frieza, a tyrannical monster, knows not to challenge him. His name is...

BUU:

Majin Buu is a magical enemy, resembling a djinn from ancient myth. Although his pink appearance may deceive you, he is far from jolly. Throughout his saga, Majin Buu displays a level of destructive power unseen at that time.

We'll go over all his different forms as well. Of the major antagonists in Z, Buu has the greatest number of forms. Each incantation is different from the rest.

To start the list off, we should start with the first form we are introduced to.

Innocent BUU:

'Innocent Buu', also called Fat Buu, represents the first stage of the villain. This is the stage Buu gained after he absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai. However, this version of Buu is hampered by the kai's peace-loving nature. Because of this, it created a fairly child-like version of Majin Buu.

Innocent Buu starts off as a villain, joining forces with the wizard who unsealed him, Babidi. After awakening, Buu makes mincemeat of the heroes. Not only does he defeat Gohan, and tank Vegeta's self-destruction attack, but he manages to kill Babidi's ally, Dabura.

Buu's positive demeanor and childish sense of wonder make this version endearing. He's just a big, jolly pink man with a smile on his face.

However, he starts off being complacent with following Babidi's orders. Goku is the one who ultimately leads to Buu killing Babidi. By doing that, Majin Buu is free to do whatever he wants.

This version of Buu is also the friendliest. Outside of causing havoc, he and Hercule formed a bond. He also felt a similar level of admiration for Goku and fighting in general.

In fact, Majin Buu's kiddy demeanor hides a monster of an opponent. This version is the first to debut the dreaded Transfiguration Beam. This attack turns the target into whatever the user wants.

In Buu's case, he uses it to turn his enemies into candies and sweets. He turns Dabura into a cookie and then eats him. It is a dangerous attack that also makes this version stand out as scary.

The scariest thing about this version of Buu is his transformation. When a crazed gunman attacks Hercule and Bee, he is forced to release his building anger. Buu splits himself into two halves, with the bulk of his power going to our next candidate below.

The fission also created his good half, only known as Good Buu. this version of Buu is technically the only one that currently exists.

Evil Buu:

Buu's fission created two alternate versions of Majin Buu. One version was an identical replica of his design. The other was a scrawny gray monster only known as Evil Buu.

Evil Buu is by far the most visually distinct version. He's not only taller than Buu, but he is also skinnier. He has dead white eyes that give him a creepy, unliving gaze.

I think this design helps sell what Evil Buu is supposed to embody. He is all of Buu's concentrated hatred and anger. He represents the very worst of the same jolly monster that was released.

This version of Buu is short-lived, but he still makes an impression. He easily intimidates his much nicer half, before defeating them. However, the very first thing he does is murder the same crazed gunman.

After defeating Good Buu, this version of Buu turns him into chocolate and eats him. The absorption results in the creation of the next character on the list. Unlike Evil Buu, he still retains the bright pink look.

Super Buu:

Super Buu is the most sinister version of Majin Buu. Thanks to all of his later absorptions, he's also the most powerful. What he lacks in cheerfulness, he makes up for in ruthlessness.

After absorbing Good Buu, Evil Buu transforms into this version. I figure that this form represents the most 'complete' version of him. This is Majin Buu embracing his evil side, but suppressing all of his good traits.

Super Buu is my favorite version of the character. His design above just does such a good job of looking evil. That sinister, cocky smirk sells it for me.

This version is also the one that committed multiple atrocities. After being created, he's responsible for numerous deaths. Outside of Kid Buu, he has probably killed the most amount of people.

One of his most iconic scenes is the Human Extinction Attack, just after he arrives to Kami's Lookout. Piccolo tries to buy time by telling Buu to kill some humans. Buu instead walks around the Lookout, before instantly unleashing a dozen beams of energy. The stray beams find their target and kill every human on the Earth.

This scene alone just cements how evil Super Buu is. In one episode alone, he manages to annihilate all life on Earth. The only people who survive are the main cast, and Hercule. Even then, Buu would later kill the other heroes.

Super Buu still has Majin Buu's battle-hungry tendencies. Piccolo and the others managed to goad him into waiting for a strong fighter. Ultimately, he would get his battle against Gotenks, the fusion of Goten and Trunks. In spite of their fusion, Gotenks is easily beaten by Super Buu.

What I love about this version of him is that he is the most intelligent. He manages to stay one step ahead of everyone else. Buu pretends to be a dumb brute, but he manages to outsmart the others.

He knew Gohan was coming, and he manipulated Goten and Trunks into fusing again. He willingly played Gohan like a fool, despite not having the advantage in his power.

Afterwards, we see the onscreen debut of Buu's absorption. He is able to gain the qualities and powers of a fighter just by assimilating them into his body.

This leads us to a few of Super Buu's transformations. Each one manages to make him more powerful. It also helps make his design more humanoid.

Super Buu (Gotenks & Piccolo Absorbed)

Buu manages not only absorb Gotenks, but also Piccolo. He gains Gotenks' incredible power, stacked on top of Piccolo's intelligence and tactical prowess. It's just enough that he manages to humiliate and break Gohan.

I think this version is a nice balance between his future evolution and his base form. He's smart, but he does not come off as incredibly cocky. He's willing to play the mind game just as much as his prior state.

With Gotenks' power, Buu has no problem with taking down Gohan and fighting Goku. While he is more powerful, he has one weakness that causes him to regress: the fusion dance. The fusion dance's power only lasts for thirty minutes.

Because of this? He loses his power and gains a design more similar to Piccolo. Chances are, if he did not absorb another character, he would have lost. Speaking of, his next level of power is below.

Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed)

This version of Super Buu represents him at the height of his full power. After absorbing Gohan, he becomes a threat that even Goku cannot take down. With Vegeta arriving from the otherworld, the two of them are forced to fuse into Vegito.

I think this version of Super Buu is cool. However, I also think Gohan's ego means that he loses out on some of his competence. He becomes more egotistical and boasting.

He spends most of his fight being humiliated by Vegito. He manages to get in several good hits though. Buu is just enough of a threat that Vegito takes him seriously.

However, it is clear that the battle was in Vegito's favor. I think the best part of that fight was Vegito being turned into candy. Afterwards, Vegito beats Buu up in the form of a jawbreaker. The scene is hilarious, you have to see it to believe it.

Ultimately, the battle takes Vegito inside Buu's body. The two are forced to defuse. While inside, they find the cocoons containing their absorbed comrades. They manage to release them, including Good Buu.

This is one of the only times where Super Buu shows fear. Removing the good version of himself also removes him. It results in ego death, and Super Buu would no longer exist.

The result causes Buu to devolve into his final state.

KID BUU:

Kid Buu is the final state of Majin Buu for the heroes to deal with. However, he is also wildly different than most of his incarnations. Unlike the others, Kid Buu is a primal engine of chaos that exists to destroy.

Just after he reverts into this stage, Kid Buu fires a blast with enough power to blow up the planet. When Vegeta destroys it, he decides to think bigger. He charges a massive blast with enough power to destroy the planet ten times over.

This blast is enough to put fear in both Goku and Vegeta. More than that, this is one of the only times where Goku actually is forced to beg. All Kid Buu can do is smile as Goku questions him on why he'd do this.

Kid Buu is the first villain to destroy Planet Earth in the franchise. After that, he goes on a wild chase, destroying planet after planet. His search for Goku and Vegeta even sends him to Otherworld. He brawls with some of the combatants there before he leaves.

When he finally finds them, he spends a good deal fighting Goku and Vegeta. His battle with Vegeta is particularly excruciating to watch. He manages to pummel the prince of the Saiyans in a way not unlike Frieza once did.

Ultimately, Kid Buu is defeated with the help of the spirit bomb. Before he dies, he manages to push it back slowly. Kid Buu is the first person to actually push it back. However, he still reaches his end when the Spirit Bomb is unleashed.

Kid Buu is by far the most disrespectful and savage of the Majins. Unlike the others, he does not hold back. He is relentless in battle, and fights like ae primal animal.

I think he is also the one that best symbolizes what Majin Buu is. Fat Buu felt more goofy than actually scary. He misses out on some of the intimidation factors. Super Buu felt more scary than actually goofy. He misses out on the things that make Majin Buu fun.

Kid Buu is a perfect mix of both of their elements. He blends their attributes together well. He's scary when he needs to be, but he also has a mischievous side. This only makes him one of the most entertaining incarnations of the monster.

CONCLUSION:

Majin Buu is my favorite villain from the Dragon Ball franchise. It's not just about his attitude or personality. It's about all the impossible things that he does.

He's a vicious monster who also can have a slight comedic bent. He is almost consistent across all of his alternate selves. He demonstrates a lot of cool abilities while he's around. He makes for a fairly entertaining character in his arc.

All in all, those are the reasons I like Majin Buu. I hope you enjoyed this place. I'll see you all later. Also, what was your favorite version of Buu? Feel free to explain.
