I literally dont know how to continue explaining to people that part of the reason Goku decided to stay dead was because Gohan hated fighting.

He didnt know this until cell. He literally had no idea. Gohan NEVER gave any indication whatsoever. Couple that with the fact Bulma pointed out most of people threatening the Earth during that point in time were all people wanting Goku. The saiyans. Frieza. The androids. Doctor Gero. Cell.

All because of Goku. Its not his fault but his very existence consistently put the Earth in danger. He truly believed Earth would be safer without him and therefore, gohan wouldnt be consistently placed into battle.

Because Goku didnt know gohan hated fighting. But once he knew came the very interwoven nature of these threats he brought making his own son fight because gohan felt he HAD to. Not because he wanted to. For goku, protecting the earth always aligned with his own love for fighting. But gohan fought out of necessity, out of the very idea that they couldnt afford to do it without him. He has this power he didnt ask for so he must use it right? Because it would be selfish if he didnt.

But goku... goku thought gohan was like him. Gohan WANTED to return to help fight vegeta. He WANTED to go to namek. He WANTED to stay and fight after piccolo almost died to frieza. Goku didnt see gohan train that first year. Didnt witness what it took to make gohan a fighter. All he saw was his son who now was strong and wanted to join the fight like his dad. And he knows gohan is more powerful than them, knows he can stop cell, FELT IT. Gohan has to defeat cell because no one else can. So he thinks if gohan gets angry enough fighting cell, itll be the answer. Because thats how its always been for goku. And in thirty seconds piccolo makes him realize he's wrong. He doesnt argue back, he listens and concedes and realizes that piccolo is right. And suddenly goku wants to abandon his plan and stop the fight. He made a mistake. He intends to get gohan out. And in the end, he still ended up being right, but it doesnt change what goku now knows. Gohan isnt like him and he doesnt enjoy fighting.

Goku would have NEVER made gohan fight if he thought he didnt want to. You know this whenever adult gohan gets involved in a fight and goku apologizes that he had to. Or when someone suggests gohan for a battle and goku is like nah he's "out of practice," even when they have time FOR PRACTICE. He never wants to force gohan into a situation like cell again. Because cell was a mistake and goku has learned from it. So he never asks Gohan to fight anymore. If Gohan wants in then of course he's in. But he wants his son to be able to choose that. He wants gohan to be HAPPY and if thats not fighting then thats perfectly alright with goku.

So it wasnt just about keeping the earth safe. Or his friends. It was knowing that in the safety of gokus absence, gohan wouldnt have to fight either. There would be less threats, less chances of his son being forced into battle. And sure he also trusted that gohan and the others could keep the earth safe if they had to, but he was banking on the threat level significantly decreasing instead.

And decrease it did. They had seven whole years of peace. Not a single threat. Meanwhile from the moment Raditz shows up to gokus death to cell, it all takes place within the span of FIVE YEARS. The longest they went without a threat was the three year gap spent training for the androids. And they spent every waking moment knowing they were coming.

And then if you look at trunks future... majority of the human population being wiped out by the androids. Majority of gokus friends. His son. All dead. Because of him. Because he defeated the red ribbon army when he was a child. And that very easily could have been their future as well. So Goku does his job in preventing that. He saves all of them. And if hes the only one who ends up dead, well... it doesnt matter. Because they aren't. And he intends to keep it that way. So he stays in otherworld, to keep them safe and to give his son a future that he can choose. If Gohan has to fight, then he can. But at least his father wouldnt be the one bringing the threats to his door.

#goku has depth #and im tired of arguing this point #LOOK DEEPER FOR TWO SECONDS PLEASE #Gokus reaction to finding out gohan doesnt like to fight #his sacrifice #and his decision after #im tired of people acting all the time like goku would have wanted to remain dead and therefore never see his wife or son or friends again #hes content in the knowledge that this is the best decision FOR THEM #he makes that decision #for them #not for himself #goku #dragon ball #son goku #goku is a good dad #dragon ball z #dragon ball z kai #gohan #son gohan #goku and gohan #dragon ball rant #my rant #dragon ball super #dbz #dbs #cell saga #android saga #saiyan saga #frieza saga #kakarot

POV: an alien that looks uncannily like your dad offers to teach you about your Saiyan heritage (definitely not sus)

Heavily inspired by the Odin scene in God of War: Ragnarok!!

I see a lot of Gohan & Turles interpretations as like Turles being an evil (and lonely) Saiyan and Gohan trying to find some way to outsmart him buuuuut I prefer to think of Turles as a cunning bastard that would lull Gohan into a false sense of security.

Maybe years of being repressed and told what to do by every adult figure in his life made him feel like Turles could be his route for freedom. Like, dude literally explores the galaxy and does whatever he wants.

Ofc, Gohan isn't naive enough to just get kidnapped. Turles tosses him a scouter and tells Gohan to call if he wants to talk, and Turles would secretly come to visit.

Then eventually when Picc finds out...all hell breaks loose and Gohan (panicking) willingly hops into Turles's ship and they take off.

Even then Turles doesn't tie Gohan down. He offers to send him back whenever he wants, even shows him where the emergency eject pods are. Turles knows damn well Gohan's curiosity is too great for him to make the smarter decision not to engage (like GoW Atreus)

Tldr Turles is a textbook groomer 💀

#this came to me in a dream and i had to draw it #it completely derails my drawing progress but i had to okay 😭😭😭 #idk if it needs to be said but I DO NOT ENDORSE TURLES'S BEHAVIOUR #this is a dynamic i wanted to explore and i felt like fanon kid gohan is treated more like a teen than a dumb kid #dude may have As on paper but that doesnt translate to the streets #aint no way gohan is outsmarting Turles 😭 #also also this isnt a diss to other Gohan & Turles interpretations #i eat any and all turles content so pls make more 🙏 #dragon ball #eggomics #turles #gohan #daiz db

Frost: *smirks* Hey Cooler, I have a question. I heard a rumor your father had a cute nickname for Frieza when he was a kid - that he’d call him his “princess”. Is that true?

Frieza: No, it isn’t.

Frost: And *you* don’t always tell me the truth, so I’m asking Cooler, not you.

Frieza: You’re wasting your time. *whispers* Don’t you dare say a word.

-frostyduo

*chuckles* Ahh, yes I do remember that. "Princess Frieza"

That actually came from a diplomat mistaking him a girl, given how much he liked to whine and complain. Naturally Frieza killed that diplomat in a tantrum, however father found it so amusing that he would tease my little brother.

It was rather cute to see him so easily flustered.

Of course the first time I tried to tease him he shot me in the chest again and I had to be rushed to the infirmary.

spotify is so funny bc it’s like “your top genre was anime openings :)” and then. 3/5 of my top artists fall into lo-fi rap and all of my top songs are lo-fi rap by those three artists

#also the venn diagram of those three artists is literally rav 🤝 kill bill ➡️ exociety lol #spotify wrapped #// body horror #don’t cancel me for listening to DB btw. their songs go hard (ironically considering the content of some of them) #my justification is that spotify doesn’t pay their artists enough which sucks in general but. hey. we work with what we’re given

[clvric]

i’m slowly considering watching DB solely because i love vegeta

I've been obsessed with the dragon ball franchise since I was 4, and yet in those 20+ years or so I've not once had an OC for it

#And I'm the sort of person who makes an oc for most of the fandoms I obsess over #I think I never made a db oc because I was content to use my self insert as the replacement I guess #the clisest to an oc that I've made was my original self insert who didn't even share an alias with me muchless my own name #and she was a neko #now that I don't relate to her at all she feels way more like an oc but I still don't count that #always all that's to say I do want to make an oc for the franchise #probably will be a stereotypical saiyan cause they're the best #star scrambles
