This is the best gift I ever received and so funny and crazy as well becasue when I was young there just WASNT toys or clothing or any merchandise available for Cartoons or Vdoeo Games or what have you. If you wanted to see your favorite character you would have to go to Google Images on your DSi (wi-fi permitting) and look at the same Deviantart drawings over and over
Super Mario and Pokemon plushes were like items of royalty (other than Pikachu. Pikachus were highly respected but nonetheless common. Kind of like cats in real life). They were rare and impossible to find and my brother had some Mario pluishies and we wer elike WOOOWOWHWOWHWO HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND THOSE ?!?!?! Honestly we probbaly just didnt know how to use the internet. But nonetheless that was the first impression of life that i got when it came to video game or cartoon stuff. What you wanted most just simply did not exists
Nopwadays of course it's completely different and I stil find myself reeling. You can go online and customize stickers and clothing EASILY !!!!!!!! You can go to the mall and find a store that sells Waluigi plushies like it's No Big Deal. They propbably have him in 3 different sizes
So when I got into dragon ball I was delighted (and contonue to be delioghted) at how EASY it is to just ... FIND IT ANYWHERE ??? You go into any random store and there's a chance of finding some sweatshirt with goku on it. For no reason. AND I'M ALWAYS THRILLED TO SEE IT !!!!!
And I was disappinted but Not Surpised when I find out that they just dont really make Goten & Trunks merchandise like they do with anyone else. Plenty of Gohan, plenty of Future Trunks, and that's swag. But you're not gonna find little Goten or Trunks (with the exception of those crappy 1999-2000 series figurines of them WHICH I DID ACQUIRE two years ago at my local Goku store and yes I did immediately tear the original packaging asunder. Actually I'm not religious but tearing them open did feel like a holy and careful thing to do and so I felt strongly compelled to get in the shower and thoroughly wash my feet first???? I don't now why. But I did do that)
And when the Superhero movie was announced it was like AIEEEEE New Goten & Trunks designs !!!
But then even a while after the movie came out I was struggling to find screenshots. No official art was even appearing on google images for a while and the movie wasn't on any of my sites, but I did find some yourube videos with them in it. But I wanted better refs of Goten & Trunks and I was just having trouble. But then a while after that they DID start appearing on Google Images and that was enough to MAKE ME HAPPY!!!!!!!
But i wasnt expecting MERCHANIDSE. Like OF COURS ENOT !!! Like DBZ is crazy popualr but you can't find EOZ merch anywhere, OF COURSE I won't find Goten & Trunks mercfh.
But I mean. THEY WANT TO MILK THIS CASH COW FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN !!!! They put Goten & Trunks in the manga. Merchanise of them started to appear and i was stunned when my attention was directed toward it but it was still few. A month ago I acidentially found a blind bag of DBS:SH bag clips online and Goten & Trunks were there and I was like OOUGH...HAA....HUH !?!? I recovered thoguh and did not buy any.
DESPITE THE GLARING EVIDENCE THOUHG I JUST DIDNT BELEIVE THAT I COULD EVER ACQUIRE A NICE FIGURINE OF GOTEN ????
I Did Not Know this existed and I don't think it has existed for long. Most thoughtful gift. I'M SO THRILLED !!!!
Very funny to receive JUST Goten. It's never JUST Goten. It's a;lways Goten & Trunks. Goten & Gohan. Goten & His GT Girlfriend. It's never JUST Goten. BUT HERE HE IS!!! JUST HIM!!!!!
And he looks Dumb too he looks stupid the shadows on his face make him look ill. He's got shitty doodoo hair. This is so dumb but they are milking this cash cow baby. AND I'M SO GLAD TO HAVE HIM !!
It's COOL becasue it's a unique design for him. That's probaby why theyre putting out DBS:SH Goten & Trunks merchandise. Becasue there's something to put out there.
Goten only had like 2 designs that were unique and interesting. Here's what I mean:
When he's little he has a few differnt outfits that are colorful and interesting but we don't remeber them and they don't stand out becasue he's not in them long. Gohan had some different outfits throughout his childhood too but we don't remeber them for the same reason.
Goten's most recognizable outfit is his gi and he looks pretty much exactly like Goku so no one cares.
In DB Super he's got an outfit that we';ve actually seen him in beforer only now he's wearing it 24/7. This is more noteworrthty but there's still no merch of him (EXCEPT FOR A BAG CLIP THAT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUHG TO ACQUIRE.. FOREVE RTHNAKFUL...). Ultimately it's not necessarily UNIQUE becasue like yeah his mother dressed him so what. It's nothing we haven't seen before already
His GT appearance is ..... SO... UNNOTEWORTHY. The whole appeal of his character is that he has a phone and a gilrfinred. HE LOOKS LESS VISUALLY INTERESTING THAN THE TOWNIES. It's especially comical when you see him standing amongst the rest of the cast. PROOF
Tumblr media
When i saw his scene I had to pause and laugh for a while. HE'S SUCH A NOBODY!!!!! HE LOOKS LIKE A RANDO WHO JUST WALKED IN. Like some store clerk or something
HIS ONLY INTERESTING AND UNIQUE DESIGNS ARE:
HIS INFAMOUS "SON GOTEN" SHIRT, which he wore for ONE EPISODE at EOZ. Noteworthy mostly due to his new height and long hair
HIS DBS:SH OUTFIT. Noteworhty becasue he's FINALLY growing up and his hair is getting long.
... ^ WE DIDNT GET THE LATTER UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2022. All we had for a long time was his purple man jeans in GT and his SON GOTEN pride shirt in EOZ. And there's NO merch of those, in all of these years.
His outfit in DBS:SH is sort of superb in how it links the tradsitonal clothes he's always worn and the cityboy fits he gravitates towards later. His mother picked that shirt out but you know that he bought those pants at Kohl's
He's just so funny .... This figurine is so funny .. It came with bubble wrap wrapped ONLY around his head like a bag of shame and im honestly gonna put it back on becasaue he is so ugly.
PEACE AND LOVE !!!!

Destroyer
Summery: After having destroyed worlds for years under Frieza, Vegeta was now content living on Earth with his wife and children. But when tragedy strikes in the divine realm, the Saiyan prince is forced to take his place as the new god of destruction.Will Bulma find a way to get her husband back? And, if so, will he want to come back?Inspired by the artwork of JayJayRey.
Chapter 1
Vegeta stood on the terrace of his home, leaning against the wall as he watched the sparring match between his five year old daughter, Bulla and Kakarott’s granddaughter, Pan, who was just a year older.
Goku was still away training Uub, so the task of grooming the newest generation of Z fighters fell on the Saiyan prince.
The two youngsters were airborne, throwing kicks and punches at each other with more power than grace until Pan gave Bulla a hard kick in the chest.
“You’re leaving yourself wide open, Echalotte,” Vegeta called to his daughter by her Saiyan name. “Remember to keep your soft spots protected.”
“Okay, daddy.” Bulla replied, catching her breath and posing into a position that kept her chest shielded.
Remember your training. It was a warrior's cardinal rule.
And yet, these little ones didn’t understand what it is to be a warrior.
With over a decade of peace, it was uncertain if their descendants would truly be ready if another threat should arise.
This was all a game to them.
Even when Trunks and Goten faced Majin Buu, they cared more about showing off than ending the pink monster.
Vegeta longed for the days when he was in constant battle with foe after foe. When he could be a true warrior. When he could indulge in the heat of battle and tear his enemies apart and spill their blood without shame or restraint.
It wasn’t that his family didn’t give him contentment. On the contrary, he would gladly give his life for them. But nothing compared to the rush of battle he once knew so long ago.
And he knew that was something these spoiled brats would never understand.
It worried him.
“Pan, your mother called,” Bulma said as she stepped outside. “She says it’s time to go home for lunch.”
“Aw, can’t we spar some more?” Bulla groaned.
“Yeah, can we?” Vegeta teased, making his wife giggle.
“It’s okay,” Pan said. “I’m hungry, anyway.”
The two friends bid each other goodbye as Pan left and Bulla landed on the terrace in front of her mother.
“I’m hungry too, mommy.”
“Don’t worry, sweetie,” Bulma said as she stroked her daughter’s blue hair that matched her own. “I’ll have lunch ready soon.”
“Yeah!” Bulla cheered as she dashed inside.
“You really are an old softy, aren’t you?” Bulma said, teasing her husband, who grunted and shrugged in reply.
“What, no rebuttal?” she smirked. “You usually hate it when I call you that.”
Vegeta sighed. “Maybe I have gotten soft.”
“You make that sound like a bad thing,” Bulma said, quirking her brow.
And for a Saiyan warrior, it was a bad thing.
A Saiyan was to be battle ready at all times. To be hard and merciless. To triumph, even if it cost him everything.
But his family was his life now. His motivation to keep getting stronger so he could keep them safe.
And being soft didn’t do them any favors.
Vegeta was pulled from his thoughts when he saw Whis materialize next to him, flanked by a young female Kai.
“Greetings, Vegeta, Bulma, it’s been far too long.”
“Whis?” Bulma said in surprise before turning to Vegeta. “You didn’t tell me you were going off to train again already.”
“I’m not,” Vegeta countered. “I have no idea why he’s here.”
“I am here because we have important matters to discuss,” Whis said. “Quite preferably over a meal.”
“Well, then, you’re just in time,” Bulma said. “I was about to serve lunch. You and your friend are more than welcome to join us.”
“Oh, yes. Please, do forgive me for not introducing you sooner.” Whis glanced over to his companion. “This is Supreme Kai, Miku,” he said as she bowed in greeting.
“Supreme Kai?” Bulma asked, confused.
“What happened to Shin?” Vegeta queried. “Did he retire or something?”
“I’m afraid the situation is more dire than that,” Whis somberly replied. “Kaioshin is dead.”
“What?!” Bulma gasped.
“How is that possible?!” Vegeta asked, just as shocked.
“I will explain as we dine,” Whis answered. Of course, he would want to eat first, even in circumstances like these.
Still reeling from the news, Bulma went to finish preparing lunch and served her family and guests outside.
“A small group of aliens breached our realm,” Miku recalled as they ate. “One of them restrained me and another fired on Kaioshin with a weapon of some kind.”
“And where were Kibido and Elder Kai?” Vegeta asked.
“Taking a walk,” Miku replied.
“I don’t get it,” Trunks chimed in. “How could anyone kill someone as powerful as the Supreme Kai? As I recall, Piccolo wouldn’t even fight him in the World Martial Arts Tournament.”
“They did have the element of surprise,” Whis figured. “And Shin was never one to resort to violence unless it was absolutely necessary.”  
“But wouldn’t he still have a body and a halo?” Bulma asked.
“I used my magic to see for myself what had happened,” Whis answered. “The alien shot him twice.”
“Causing him to cease from existence,” Vegeta concluded.
“Precisely,” Whis said.
“I also remember the alien apologizing to Kaioshin before he shot him,” Miku said. “I thought that was kind of strange.”
“I do not believe Kaioshin was the intended target, mistress,” Whis told her. “Lord Beerus destroyed half their planet a few years ago. I believe it was he who was targeted.”
“Now, wait, I’m confused,” Vegeta admitted. “Why would they have taken their act of vengeance against Beerus out on an innocent party like Shin?”
“Lord Beerus and Kaioshin’s lives were connected,” Whis said. “So, killing the one resulted in the other’s demise.”
“Wait,” Bulma said, taken aback. “Beerus is dead, too?”
“Indeed,” Whis answered. “Sorry I neglected to mention that.”
“So, they went for the soft target to do away with Beerus, then,” Vegeta surmised.
“What’s a ‘soft target?’” Bulla asked, hearing their conversation but not really understanding it.  
“It’s the target easiest to hit,” her father explained.
“Kaioshin and I were talking about his life link with lord Beerus just before the aliens came,” Miku recalled. “Almost as if on cue. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence.”
“If they possess technology that can breach our realm, then perhaps they used something similar to spy on our worlds,” Whis theorized. “The question is how they knew where to find us.”
“I’m done,” Bulla chirped. “Can I watch a movie, mommy?”
“Yes, you may,” Bulma answered before turning to her son. “Sweetie, would you mind helping your sister?”
“Sure,” Trunks said as he stood. “Come on, squirt,” he told Bulla as the two of them took their dishes and went inside.
“Alright, Whis, spill it!” Vegeta ordered. “I know you didn’t have to come all this way to break the news to us about Shin and Beerus. So, why are you really here?”
“You are quite perceptive, Vegeta,” Whis observed. “And, yes, there is another matter we must discuss.
“You see, Miku here was Kaioshin’s apprentice, so she was able to take his place when he died. Unfortunately, lord Beerus had no apprentice. So, I had to go to the Omni Kings and ask who they wish to replace him.”
“And, what does that have to do with me?” Vegeta asked.
Nearly a full minute lapsed before Whis looked him in the eye and answered.
“They chose you, Vegeta.”
The Saiyan prince and his wife both gasped in shock.
“Ve… Vegeta’s... the new god of destruction?” Bulma questioned.
“He is,” Whis replied.
Vegeta sat there, frozen, nauseated, head swimming. How could this even be happening?! Had he been told this twenty years ago, he would have accepted it without hesitation. But, now, he had too much to loose because of it.
“Well… I…” Bulma stammered to her husband, who’s face had now gone pale. “I… guess you’re finally getting what you wanted, huh? I mean, you’ll have immorality and can blow up whatever planet you want, not that I’m happy about that part, but-”
“You don’t understand, woman!” Vegeta snapped. “A god of destruction cannot have any personal attachments whatsoever. If I can’t get out of this, I’ll have to leave Earth… leave you… for good!”
“What?!” Bulma screeched before turning back to Whis. “You can’t expect him to uproot himself, just like that!”
“That’s right!” Vegeta exclaimed as he stood, placing his hands on the table and leaning into Whis’s face, heart ramming into his chest, blood boiling. “I have a life, a family here. I can’t just abandon them! So, you can tell the Omni Kings I said thanks but no thanks. I’m not going!”
“I’m afraid this isn’t optional, Vegeta,” Whis stated.
“And why not?” he asked as he plopped back into his chair and folded his arms. “If you need a new destroyer god so bad, why not have Frieza do it? He has more experience blowing up planets than I do.”
“He also lacks the training and discipline and cannot be trusted with that kind of power,” Whis said.
“Then, what about Toppo? He’s already a destroyer god candidate.”
“Toppo is from universe eleven and can only serve in universes eleven and two.”
“Then, isn’t there anyone in universe six who can do it?”
“Not to my knowledge,” Whis admitted.
“Then, can’t you find out?” By this time, Vegeta was sweating, his rage giving way to panic.
“Even if I did it wouldn’t matter,” Whis said. “The point is that it’s the will of the Omni Kings.”
“And, if I refuse?” Vegeta asked, desperate.
“Then, your universe will be terminated,” Whis said.
“Better than having to spend eternity without my family!”
“Think about what you’re saying, Vegeta,” Miku interjected. “Would you really want your entire universe destroyed over this?”
“Yes,” Whis added. “Especially after you fought so hard, even risked your own life to protect it in the Tournament of Power? Even you have to admit, it’s a bit rash.”
They were both right. It was irrational at best.
There was nothing more to be said. Vegeta made all the arguments he could and was nowhere near getting out of this situation. He had no other choice but to resign himself to his fate.
Unless…
“I’d like a moment with my wife, please,” he requested.
“Of course,” Miku said as Whis nodded.
Vegeta got up and took Bulma aside while the other two stood and prepared for departure.
“Gather the dragon balls,” the Saiyan prince instructed his wife, his hands on her shoulders. “Wish Beerus and Shin back to life. Then, I can come home”
Bulma nodded.
They stood there, reluctant to part, until Bulma threw her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a hug. Not one for public displays of affection, Vegeta grabbed her arms and pulled his face back in front of hers.
“This isn’t goodbye!” he ground out through gritted teeth.  
Vegeta could literally feel his world being pulled out from under him, like a trapdoor leading into a bottomless pit. And he desperately tried to push down the lump in his throat, the tears that threatened to fall, the clenching of his heart, as he and his wife stood, eyes fixed on each other for another minute or two.
Then, reluctantly, painfully, Vegeta turned and walked over to where Whis and Miku were waiting as he tried to conceal the ache within him.
Bulma stood there, watching him go as silent tears spilled from her eyes.
He took one last look at her before placing his hand on Whis’s back, then dematerialized.
o-o-o-o-o
Whis was heading towards the Kai world to drop off Miku, who looked behind her before whispering into his ear.
“Uh… Whis… um, wasn’t there, uh, something we… you know… overlooked?”
“Don’t worry, mistress,” Whis answered discretely, hoping Vegeta wouldn’t hear them. “I have everything under control.”
