hihi! so do you think there was unused potential that could have been used for tien and the tao brothers or was it fine enough as it is in canon? imo the scene in the anime where tien is like a teen was super interesting but not really dwelled upon which kinda blows
hi :) I absolutely do think that the crane school dynamic was a severely under explored topic that should’ve at least been given an episode or ova to expand upon and really flesh out the crane school quartet and their relationships with each other
Like you can clearly tell both from goku initially telling tien he killed tao and tien’s defeat of tao that tien harbors conflicting feelings about him despite the clear cruelty he and shen put him (and chiaotzu) through. Not to mention that while shen explains that he and tao separated on ill terms, I personally really would have liked to see that relationship and not just have it explained to me; it’s one thing being told that tao was a prodigy that put shen to shame, but it’s another to actually show that and give a bit of humanity to these villains (and listen I’ll be the first in line to smack shen and tao they’re rancid people, but they’re still people: giving humanity to villains isn’t as much of a crime as it’s made out to be)
It would be Astoundin just to even really know how shen and tao even came into possession of tien and chiaotzu in the first place, let alone raising them to be assassins and if there are any other crane school students pardon yurin
