people often talk about how kid trunks absorbed a lot of vegeta's negative traits - cocky, boastful, competitive, prideful - but i feel like i rarely hear people talk about how future trunks has a lot of gohan's negative traits. he obviously comes off more mature because circumstances forced him to grow up quickly (not unlike gohan), but he's also awkward and insecure. he's never sure of his strength, and always seems to blame himself when things go wrong, even if it's beyond his control. he also seems to view fighting the same way as gohan; not something he enjoys, but something necessary, something he has to be good at to keep everyone he loves alive. until meeting frieza, he never would've had a proper victory in his life; everyone around him was always stronger than him, until one day he was suddenly forced into the spotlight as the last fighter able to take on an unbeatable enemy. no wonder they're so alike, they have almost the exact same trauma.

#dbz #dragon ball z #future trunks #mirai trunks #son gohan #vegeta #trunks briefs #future gohan #dragon ball #rowan.txt #i was watching the trunks vs goten world martial arts tournament and it just got me thinking about trunks' upbringing.#like... kid trunks is so much more confident than his future counterpart. he fights because he enjoys it. he LOVES fighting goten.#meanwhile future trunks... he OBLITERATED frieza. no chances. barely even a fight. just die die die before you can hurt anyone.#and as much as people say future trunks was raised better because he's more likeable and mature... bro. kid trunks has self esteem.#i feel like future trunks couldn't believe any compliment you give him because he's so used to thinking of himself as a failure.#Also Not Unlike Gohan.#UGHHHH.#im going INSANE.

man I have no idea what the fuck the internal layout of Capsule Corp is. It would probably be fun to make a floor plan for it as fanart tbh.

#Dbz #i used to love those cutaway diagrams of buildings #I have a strong mental image of what the fanart would look like if only I could just manifest it psychically #I’m thinking about logistics while writing fic even though I am the only one who will care if locations are consistent

#my art #dbz #fanart #goku #hes crying because vegeta didnt give him a kissy #to be real though I feel like in my head he doesn't cry very often and when he does he doesn't really even know he's doing it until #he can't see through the tears #like getting so frustrated or angry or upset that it just happens #thinking of him catching himself doing it and then kind of breaking down and ugly sobbing #hes not ugly but you know what i mean #just letting it out #either that or laughing it off and being like 'oops! Hahaha'

People: Dragon Ball focuses too much on Goku. He’s so strong, so nobody else has to do anything.

Goku: Loses first 2 tournaments in og. Dies twice. Only kills one major villain in all of Dragon Ball Z, and it’s the villain that everyone wanted Gohan to kill.

Also are we just gonna ignore how the Namek/Frieza saga was mostly Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta just doin shit? They did so much in that entire arc

#also he spent the first two arcs of dragon ball literally just training and running to get to the battle mostly #he barely even fights in the android and cell saga #almost character besides Goku in DBZ’s first 4 arcs have a LOT more screen time #honestly #I’d say Gohan is on par with Goku as the main character #also the entire Namek saga and most of the frieza saga were just the side characters fighting with brief stints of Goku #I can understand how it seems like it’s the Goku show #but it’s really not #original dragon ball is #and honestly it’s not even worse for it #og dragon ball is fuckin awesome #but you can tell that dragon ball z is a show about ALL the characters #because in og we always follow Goku and his adventures #in dbz we follow everyone else too #even when they aren’t with Goku #which is basically something that never happened in the non filler episodes of og #ok thanks #dbz #dragon ball #dragon ball z #db #this is only about og and dbz btw #not super #yes super is more of the Goku show lol #Goku #son goku

#dragon ball #dbz #db #bulma briefs #trans headcannon #son goku #vegeta dbz #trunks briefs #son gohan #yamcha #OK quick explanation for why later characters are on here since I've already seen some confusion over my reasoning in the notes;#1st of all i suppose there are people who (wrongly) assume that some of them aren't trans so. there's that. BUT (correctly) assuming they #all are- it's about how old they are when they come out. Like sure Bulma has known Goku and Yamcha since she was like 16. but does feral #baby Goku even know what gender is enough to transition yet? Is yamcha secure enough to come out or does he just bs his way #through their relationship pretending he was just such a badass he always had broken (and thus bandaged) ribs? you know.

of all characters why zarbon? he was weak and pointless.

EDIT: Please draw your attention to this post as it’s relevant to this one, only if you wish to as the two posts go hand in hand, but it’s important. https://www.tumblr.com/bliss-wily/743634450086264832/an-apology-it-has-come-to-my-attention-that-a

I’ll agree to disagree. Zarbon was formidable. Vegeta underestimated him, he transformed, he beat Vegeta up but didn’t kill him. Frieza was disappointed in him, but in the short amount of screen time he had in all of his appearances we learn a lot:

He was highly intelligent.

His avoidance of transforming most of the time reveals that the man had been holding back for decades if not centuries. The Raging Blast games imply it was ‘eons’.

Zarbon is a Prince, and despite being regarded as a narcissist unlike Vegeta he isn’t flaunting that title like some shiny badge.

Outside of…Dead Zone? I think? Zarbon is the first to showcase a transformation that isn’t a giant form.

And unlike the Saiyans he takes on a different appearance.

There was depth to his character, his on screen kill count is low, he was shown to be pragmatic and rather humane.

But…he was scared. Frieza threatened to kill him. That threw him off his game.

I think had Zarbon took a moment to process and clear his head he would have beaten Vegeta again. However, I still don’t think he would have killed him…I think he would have turned on Frieza.

Sure he said Frieza-sama in the Japanese version but…

If you had been saying that for decades it’s kinda hard to break the habit. I would give him the benefit of the doubt.

He’s not stupid, I think he was serious about betraying Frieza because think about it..

He served a man who had different values from him out of fear.

Zarb was pragmatic, he just wanted to take care of the source of the problem and leave everything else alone - Frieza didn’t agree.

Unlike the others the boy had a genuine look of sadness and shock when Frieza was quite happy to go through with Planet Vegeta’s destruction.

He is my favourite because there is so many layers to him. He wasn’t in the series long but he’s just so interesting. His race is unique, his personality feels unique. His fighting style was unique too. If anyone had to be revived I hope it’s either Raditz or Zarbon as those two could have been redeemed and they could have joined the Z-Fighters.

He is morally grey, but, Vegeta was down right cruel and could be redeemed. Zarbon had shown evidence of redeeming qualities in all forms of media (wanting peace, worried about Frieza gaining more power, he was self aware, with Dodoria showed remorse and shock when Planet Vegeta was blown up) and he certainly didn’t turn around and kill his closest friend/father figure. (Let’s face it, Nappa basically raised Vegeta and probably Raditz too).

Zarbon isn’t perfect, but that’s what I like to see. He had shortcomings, he was fearful but not a coward, he had phobias, but he also tried to do his job without all the collateral damage and he genuinely cares. He was shocked hearing of Dodoria dying, he gets pissy when alternate timeline Frieza starts insulting him and his ‘star subordinate’, he shows that he’s capable of jealousy and he can be thankful and apologetic.

I understand he’s branded as a narcissist because he thinks he’s beautiful but so many of his traits contradict NPD. He is empathetic, he doesn’t put himself or his own gain above others, he can take accountability for his failures. It seems more so that the other in verse characters place those traits onto him - such as when they expect that Zarbon is only using the future warrior as a slave or to do his dirty work - but he doesn’t.

“You need only watch.” - doesn’t necessarily want help from his student.

“Excellent, I’d much rather spend time with you.” - actually enjoys spending time with his student.

“This session was deeply moving for me. It would not have been possible had we not met.” - can be interpreted in several ways. However; it sounds like a bond is developing.

“I welcome any and all who know how to conduct themselves.” - this is said to a Saiyan, implies that his detest is by person, not an entire race.

“You handled yourself pretty well out there too. My compliments.” - he is always handing out praise to his student. But not just them, there are soldiers on the ship who sound so happy that Zarbon compliments them unlike Frieza and Dodoria.

“Magnificent! You’ve done well to come this far! You’ve done your instructor proud!” - again, actually being happy for his student.

“I am dazzled by your radiance!” - this is just showing more and more depth to this man. I get Zarbon is entitled but he’s a Prince, they’re all a bit entitled.

Some more quotes seeing as I have a ton of screenshots~

“You are my prized trainee!”

“Starting now I will polish you into the most beautiful gem the universe has ever seen!”

“Yes! Yes! You’re just as beautiful as I imagined you’d be!”

“You have my apologies. I should not be so passionate in front of my trainee.”

“Your fighting style is truly elegant. So elegant, in fact, that I’ve fallen in love with it, just watching you train.”

“You are a true diamond in the rough…”

“But several will try to woo you, given your considerable strength, and I wouldn’t want you to choose the wrong master.”

Below, Zarbon being nice and a bit of tsundere/flirt. This game seemed like a dating sim at times.

Then him when it’s life or death with his closest ally by his side.

Also I notice in this fight he will throw himself in front of the future warrior several times. He always gets knocked out every time I do this fight as he won’t let the player get hurt - every other mentor I’ve done this with tends to make it to the end on all versions of the game but Zarbon really puts his neck out there for the player. Whether it’s a glitch in the AI or not; I don’t know. But, it plays into his characterisation.

Anyway I went on a ramble, but why Zarbon? So many reasons. The more lore they add; the more I like him. He’s a complex character in my opinion.

#dbz #dragon ball #dragonball #xenoverse 2 #zarbon #frieza #frieza force #answered ask #thank you for the ask!#I hope this answers your question #and I hope it makes sense #crocodile/monster boy supremacy!#zarb is sweet even if he is an intergalactic menace #and very likely a nepotism baby and rich kid #but he’s so much more #his actions personality words and body language tell the viewers so much

Drew a little comic of Gohan and Piccolo inspired by Gohan getting a telescope for his birthday during the Cell Saga filler! (Astronomers, please don't come after me if I got any science wrong 😭🙏Ex. I know Gohan basically implies the planet is emitting light but it could also mean the suns that were probably “born” with it when it was wished there!)
