"Pretty sure Black can use Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 as well, I do remember he kicked my ass while I was in Blue that one time."
Tumblr media
"And if we consider Heroes, then he can also go into Super Saiyan Rose 2 and super Saiyan Rose 3. There's even a Full Power variant of Super Saiyan Rose 3 that required 'geets and me to fuse and use Super Saiyan Blue Evolution just so we could get rid of him quick enough, before his regeneration could catch up."

wow that alice design is so cool! I haven’t seen that much art of her like that, and looking more like masquerade makes sense (there the same person after all). It was a little late in the first season for a new look but the second could have done more
Personally I think the changes would've started to occur whenever Alice had her eye problems. By that, I mean the time she was seeing red and the gs of the various bakugan on field (memory says this was when Shun and Komba fought, as I remember an El Condor being seen, but don't quote me on that.)
Alice had a lot of fainting spells due to Masquerade using her as a host, and her health appeared to be worsening to Runo, so little wisps of blonde would likely be seen as indicators of her health (even though the truth is it's Masquerade.)
By the time Masquerade is revealed, about half of Alice's hair would be blonde.
As for the outfit change, it'd likely be after Masquerade reveals who he is, as a visual indicator that the reveal has impacted Alice badly. First step of grief is denial; deny you are Masquerade by looking more like him, so you don't look like what was under under his mask (which, since Alice's typical outfit at that time was her yellow dress, she would replace that part of her outfit. Notably she was not wearing that when Masquerade threw his mask off, even though that doesn't make the most amount of sense.. It's fine.)
In New Vestroia she uses Masquerade's teleportation (iirc) and invoked him to try and scare Shadow (worked a little bit). Adopting a lab coat that looks similar to his jacket would've been neat, I think. Alice's design in New Vestroia implies (to me) that she's more relaxed, without bakugan around to worry about, so she looks comfy, so the lab coat wouldn't be a permanent fixture.
(Very arguably the addition of purple to her colour palette in New Vestroia is a nod to Masquerade, who had more traditional darkus brawler colours than Alice did, but that's such an unlikely thing in comparison to Everyone But Julie Wears Their Attribute's Colour. Julie doesn't even wear orange.)

[DBS AU] - The Sento Ancestors **LONG POST AHEAD**
The initial group of Sento Saiyans were originally U7 Saiyans who served under King Vegeta I (Vegeta's Great-Grandfather) at the time of King Cold's reign.
**NAMES: (by descriptions-row)
-Rhoman ("roman", romaine lettus; front-center)
-Nion ("onion"; mullet-scar, 2nd row)
-Chile ("chi-lay", "chili"; red-head, green eyes, 2nd row)
Jinja ("ginger"; auburn-knot hair, pink eyes, 3rd row)
Pioca ("tapioca"; short-bob, blue earrings, 3rd row)
Aru ("arugula"; brown bandana, 3rd row)
Brussel ("brussel sprouts"; older man with greying hair, 3rd row)
Kohl ("kohlrabi"; tall man, short cut, 4th row)
Oras ("horseraddish"; large face scar, 5th row)
Char ("swiss chard"; long spikey hair, last row)
Niesa ("chinese potato"; straight hair, single bang, last row)
**PLOT:
They served as ambassadors for King Vegeta I as he was elderly and couldn't keep up with attending councils with King Cold regarding the Planet Trade Organization dealings. They would essentially act as the "liason" between King Cold and King Vegeta.
Each member deals directly with both Cold's men and the Saiyans who clear out the planets ready for auctions. Though, through their dealings, they've started to develop uneasy feelings regarding Cold and his objectives. More Saiyans have been reported missing during missions.
King Cold and or his men kill them off for sport or if the job is incomplete and the planet locals start fighting back. The Ambassadors (Sento Ancestors) catch wind of this and all collectively share their concerns in what was originally stated to be a partnership.
They bring their concerns to King Vegeta I directly with their suspicions of King Cold's treachery, but King Vegeta I dismisses the sentiment as they are receiving more technology from Cold as gains.
Seeing the disregard to their own people and no longer wanting to be involved, the Ancestors all remove their armor and announce their resignation from the throne in unison.
King Vegeta I severely agitated by this sentenced them to exile to a remote planet nearby. Their numbers and strengths were too great at the moment to attempt their execution. He'd rather them wither and die off elsewhere.

Impending, part 2

Matsukawa Issei x afab reader
Word count: ~2.6k
Tags & warnings: SMUT-MINORS & AGELESS BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT, drugs (smokin a joint), semi-public sex (barely), fingering, p in v
Note: Vegeta fuckers rise up. (But for real everyone knows Android 18 is where it’s at.) I think this piece makes clear how big the Mattsun-shaped hole in my heart is. Thank you @prettyiwa for your keen editing eye :* And idk if you wanted to keep getting tagged in this series mica but in case you do @princesskazuya
part 1 | part 3
Tumblr media
The first time he met you, Makki had invited him over to play games after school. It was only the second week of 4th grade, but they’d hit it off immediately. He was aware Makki had two siblings, and even though he was younger than Makki, Issei was still the oldest in his own family and the oldest among his cousins, so he was pretty sure his mature energy would garner your respect.
What he hadn’t anticipated was that…it didn’t.
Actually, you were the one who impressed him. You seemed to know all the things that middle schoolers knew and elementary schoolers didn’t, and right away he found himself on the back foot, wanting you to recognize him as an equal.
The second time he went to Makki’s house, he went prepared. This time, he was going to get more than a quick glance from you, so he picked out the coolest shirt he owned — dark gray, oversized, with Vegeta going Super Saiyan plastered across the front. When you opened the door and feigned a cough to hide your laugh, he realized he’d misfired again.
When he thinks back on his childhood memories of you, they were invariably like this — you out of reach and him just behind, you ahead and him in pursuit.
You were always polite to him, never mean, but never overly friendly either. And why would you be? He was the annoying friend of your annoying little brother. The two of them were constantly following you around trying to get you to take them to high school parties where they were sure they’d get their first sip of beer and their first kiss.
It’s just that somewhere along the way, he started hoping you would be his first kiss.
But the four-year age gap meant he didn’t get much of a chance. By the time he got to high school, you were away at college, and by the time he graduated college, well, you’d already started making headway with your career in Sendai, or so Makki said.
In that time, he’d graduated high school, college too, and now he’s pretty established in the family business. He still hangs out with Makki all the time, and he’s a fixture in the Hanamaki household, always making sure to visit your parents along with his own. It’s just that whenever he came over, you’d either just left, or were yet to arrive. The timing was never right.
The desire to impress you faded to near-nonexistence over the years. Near non-existence, because a tiny little part of him still keeps track of how long it’s been since he last saw you (until today: 11 years). So when Makki invited him over for a family barbecue and mentioned offhandedly that you were home visiting, well, that tiny little part of him may have decided to trade the usual basketball shorts and faded t-shirt for the shorts that hug his thighs and the shirt that shows off the physique he’s kept up even after volleyball.
He knew he’d have to endure some teasing, but he’s used to it at this point.
(Makki took one look at him in the doorway and doubled over laughing, “It’s never gonna happen, bro.”
Mattsun just shrugged. “Can’t blame me for wanting to shoot my shot.”
Makki did not like that turn of phrase.)
Anyway, he’s probably over you at this point. He’d almost convinced himself of that until the moment you appeared at the top of the basement steps.
Maybe there’s something about the basement. Back then, he was always playing games down here with Makki. The tv screen was much smaller at the time, and the basement wasn’t fully finished. The walls hadn’t been painted, the floor was just concrete, and the only furniture was a paint-stained coffee table, a lumpy old sofa, and a dirty bean bag chair. Your parents gave them their privacy though, and kept the old fridge downstairs stocked with soda, so to him, it was basically heaven.
You usually left him and Makki alone, but sometimes if you were really bored, or if it was too hot upstairs, or you were supposed to watch them while your parents were out, you’d hang out down here and play a round or two. Sometimes you’d complain about your friends or whoever you were dating at the time, and Makki would always take their side and he would always take yours, and afterward you’d jokingly berate your brother, Why can’t you be nice to me like Issei?
The way you called his name today with that pleased little lilt made his insides twist into familiar knots. When he chanced a peek…you looked stunning, even better than he remembered. Especially with a radiant glow from the afternoon sun, beads of sweat disappearing into your cleavage, and thighs spilling out of tiny denim shorts.
He felt nervous, hyperaware of you sitting behind them on the couch. So when Makki reached over to bat at his controller, he channeled that anxious energy into shoving back.
In retrospect, it was more than a little childish to think he could impress you by wrestling your brother. Wrestling? Really? What are they, ten years old? He regretted it as soon as Makki left and the adrenaline wore off. He’s a grown man now, with plenty of experience under his belt, so how come you’re still able to make him feel like this?
Mattsun tried to play it off while he figured out another tactic, but then… When you leaned in to take the controller out of his hands, he thought you hesitated, just for a second, like you were caught off guard.
And when he sat back against the couch, he thought you seemed fidgety, like maybe the couch was uncomfortable.
And then when he — let’s be honest — completely fucking panicked and just laid himself across your lap because he couldn’t keep his hands off you, and your voice got all throaty, like…he’s even not sure what.
When you shoved him off and retreated into the couch, when he saw the agitated rise and fall of your chest and the way your nipples poked through the thin fabric of your crop top, when you looked everywhere but at him—
That’s when it clicked. Maybe, just maybe, he finally had a chance.
He barely remembers the race, so dizzying was this revelation.
He ignored Makki’s curious look when he didn’t lie back down on the floor. He hoped you didn’t mind how sweaty his palm was when he pushed himself up next to you instead. You’d stiffened, keeping your gaze resolutely focused on your phone, even though you’d stopped scrolling.
Now that you’re within reach, he doesn’t want to let go of this chance. To ghost his lips on the skin of your neck. To make his desire plain to you. To know if you want him too.
When you look up, a reply on your lips…
Makki yawns. Your face drops.
Of course.
He’s an idiot.
He was so high on the barest glimmer of a chance with you that he forgot all about Makki. Of course you’d be worried about how your brother might feel. You have no idea that Makki is well aware of his crush on you.
So when you run off, leaving him behind yet again, he fights the urge to chase. That little inkling of interest had made him impatient. Can you blame him, though? He’s been chasing after you for as long as he can remember. He’s sure of what he wants. But, he reminds himself, this is all new for you.
So for the first time, he doesn’t pursue you.
Don’t rush.
Slow down.
He plays a few more rounds with Makki and waits.
He goes upstairs and helps with the cooking and waits.
He grabs another beer and talks to your parents and waits.
But his patience has limits. Eventually, he can’t quell the antsiness crawling up his body and sneaks off while Makki is waylaid by one of your uncles.
When he doesn’t see you inside, he slips out to the backyard. It’s cool outside now that the sun is just a sliver on the horizon, and quiet since everyone has retreated indoors. He walks around to the side of the house.
A lighter clicks in his periphery, and for a blink, it illuminates you, hidden in a corner between the plum tree and the stone fence.
Your head snaps up at the crunch of gravel under his shoes.
“Oh, it’s just you.”
He ducks under the branches, stopping a few feet away.
“Yup, just me.”
You bring a skinny joint up to your lips and take a deep drag, turning to blow the smoke away from him.
“Needed some air?” He keeps his tone light.
“Something like that.”
He’s slept around, he’s dated, might have even fallen in love once, but there’s something unshakeable about a first crush. Maybe it’s just you that’s unshakeable. He’d dismissed it as a teenage obsession, but the ember he believed had turned to ash has roared to life.
The uncertainty is clear in your posture, yet your gaze flits over him when you think he’s not looking — eyes, lips, shoulders, chest, eyes again — or maybe you just think the haze of dusk gives you some cover.
You hold the joint out with one hand. “Want some?”
He steps into the narrow gap between you and the fence and, bending down, lifts your (surprisingly pliant) hand to his mouth. He tries not to tower over you, but in this confined space it’s hard not to.
He purses his lips gingerly around the tips of your fingers and inhales.
Breathing out slowly, his eyes stay locked on yours.
Your face remains neutral, but he feels the quickening of your pulse under his fingers when he lets go.
You step back to lean against the trunk. Before you can take another puff, he plucks the joint from you.
“Hey, give it back!”
He holds it up out of your reach. “Didn’t think you of all people would smoke.”
You roll your eyes. “I could say the same for you.”
“I guess some things change. And some things don’t.”
“Suppose so,” you admit.
You stare at the joint slowly burning down in his hand.
“Makki knows, you know,” he assures, gauging your reaction.
You frown in confusion. “That I smoke?”
He laughs. “No. He knows that I’m interested.”
Your frown deepens, and he adds, “I didn’t ask for his blessing or anything, but he’s never had a problem, so I’m pretty sure he’s ok with it.”
At that, you meet his eyes — yeah, he might finally have a chance.
He takes a deep drag, and before you can react, he presses his lips to yours, blowing the smoke softly into your mouth. He follows it with his tongue, delicate and testing. You open for him, soft like velvet and just a bit bitter from the beer.
When you don’t reciprocate, he reluctantly pulls away.
You evaluate him thoughtfully before snatching the nub from him. Taking one last puff, you snuff it against the fence, pull him down by the front of his shirt, and smash your lips against his. He eagerly welcomes your tongue, groaning when your sharp incisors pinch his bottom lip.
Your hands run up the back of his neck, roam over his broad shoulders, slide down his toned arms. You lift his hands and settle them on your hips, and before he realizes, he’s picking you up off the ground, wrapping your legs around him, and pinning you against the fence.
You pant as he nestles his face in the curve of your neck, licking and nipping restlessly, careful not to leave any marks for Makki or the rest of your family to find.
His fingers glide up your stomach, sneak under your top, to trace the curve of your breast.
“Do you know how hard you made me earlier when I saw you weren’t wearing a bra?” He growls into your shoulder.
You shiver at his admission, nipples hardening in his palms.
“And then Makki came back and I had to sit there and pretend like I wasn’t just fantasizing about fucking you into the couch?”
He grinds his hips, making you squirm, chuckling when he pulls back and you chase after the friction. “Mmm— yeah? You want me to?”
“Yeah, I want you to,” you gasp, “want you to fuck me, Issei.”
As soon as he sets you down, you start tugging at your shorts and underwear, but before you can even get them to your knees, he’s twisted you around and bent you over against the stone.
He curses as he slips one finger into your soaking cunt, followed quickly by a second. You writhe against his hand, biting back moans as he works them against your slick walls.
“Fuck you’re so wet already. Want this cock that bad, huh?”
“Fuck off Issei,” you whine, “you’re the one who popped a boner w— fuuuck…”
He plunges a third finger inside.
“What was that?”
“Just fucking…shut up and fuck me.”
He tsks, “Was gonna prep you more, but…” But honestly, he’s this close to cumming in his pants. He frees his cock and lines himself up, swooning when it prods against your entrance.
He sinks in. Not in one thrust, because he doesn’t want to hurt you, and because he wants to savor this. But not slowly either, because his patience is worn down to nothing.
“Oh sh— Issei…you’re huge,” you grit out, all the while shoving your ass back to take him in faster.
As soon as you’ve sucked all of him in and his hips rest flush against your pussy, the last thread of his self-control snaps and he’s mindlessly rutting into you. He can’t bear to pull out more than a inch or two before slamming back in, hips snapping with loud claps that almost muffle the sloppy squelch of your cunt.
He pulls you up, needing to feel as much of you against him as possible. One arm circles your waist and the other hand wraps around to clutch at your chest.
Your lewd moans and the way your pussy clenches around his cock makes him lightheaded. He’s lost in your slick walls, soft heat, unable to slow down.
It’s too late to wonder if his fingers are digging into you a little too hard because he’s already about to—
He shoves a hand between your legs to fumble at your clit, it’s clumsy, but you’re just so— he’s praying you cum before he loses it.
The last thing he sees is you clapping a hand over your mouth.
He feels you start to spasm right as he pulls out, blindly reaching down to pump himself once, twice before his vision goes dark.
His chest is still heaving when he regains his senses. You’re panting beside him, clinging to the cold stone, gobs of cum splattering your back and the curve of your ass.
He reaches over to brush away the hair stuck to your forehead.
“I’ll go get some tissues,” he murmurs, tucking himself back into his shorts.
He jogs toward the house, straightening his clothes before slipping inside. Luckily, everyone seems to have migrated into the living room because he doesn’t pass a soul as he grabs some toilet paper from the nearest bathroom before returning.
He’s tender when he tidies you up, gently wiping off your back, swallowing your whimpers with a kiss as he cleans up your oversensitive cunt.
Dimly, something primal wells up in him. Is that weird? To feel elated to be wiping his cum off you?
To feel like, after all this time, he’s finally caught up.

when i was a kid i had a big ol' sketchpad that was probably meant for easels. it was big enough i could lay out on it. like, i want to say it was 2'x3' or even bigger, but i was still growing at the time and i don't know where it ended up these days so i'm no longer able to accurately judge its size. but what i would do was, i would just lie on the floor on top of it and fill it with comics, box by box by box in hand-drawn rows that got more and more cramped until i hit the edge of the paper, whereupon i'd go back and start a new row. i did one that was retelling the events of avernum 2 with the party i'd made for it and that was pretty sick. but that was a later comic, when i was a bit more confident in my art.
one of the first ones i can remember was about a group of kids with animal tails and crude anime hair having some kind of fantasy adventure. if i hadn't been watching DBZ i would have never made that story. i know this because the grizzled mentor figure had vegeta hair. it was one of the first times i remember being dissatisfied with my art because i couldn't get it to look as cool as what i was seeing on the screen. i asked my older brother about it and he was like "check this out" and he drew that guy in 3/4ths perspective and it blew my damn mind. so then i had another thing to practice. still did a lot of dead on shots of characters expressing things directly to the camera though. i think i ended up scrapping that story because i was like fuuuuck i could have been doing it with cool perspective the whole time!!
anyway. thanks, mr. toriyama. you lit a fire that burns across the whole world. you invented vegeta. you'll be missed.

Okay so Freeza's final form power level being like Three Million at base and One Hundred And Twenty Million at 100% is total bullshit and completely throws off the reasonable perception of the power scaling of the series, but IGNORING THAT SHIT and looking at the rest of the Freeza force on its own, I think it should be recognized that Vegeta was easily the 9th or 10th strongest person in the entire intergalactic Freeza Army. Which ain't nothing to sneeze at.
The average Freeza Soldier was probably in the ballpark of around 1,000, although most of them seemed to be incapable of proper ki control and needed blaster weapons since they weren't able to fire energy blasts of their own. Most of them seem capable of flight though, but fucking so was Dende. For reference Appule had a power level of 1,600.
Raditz had a power level of about 1,200 - 1,600 depending on your source. Makes him average in the scope of the rest of the army, but remember Saiyans have the Oozaru Great Ape form, which is a power level 10x multiplier. So on the night of a full moon Raditz can shoot up to 12,000 which would put him head and shoulders above 99% of the rest of the army. Sure Saibamen also had a comparable power level, but they were genetic experiments who were created in a lab whereas Raditz was all natural. The fact you can create a weapon that can cause as much damage as a single soldier with his bare hands doesn't speak ill of the soldier at all in my opinion.
Nappa had a power level of 4,000 which is a significant enough jump to explain why Raditz would be considered such a lowly shit class warrior compared to the Elite that Nappa and Vegeta represented. And again the Oozaru boost makes for a significant benefit in terms of their status. Oozaru Nappa could have squashed transformed Zarbon.
Vegeta when he was on Earth had a power level of 18,000 which definitely explains why Nappa and most of the rest of the Freeza Army is piss terrified of him. We've jumped to five digits worth of power at this point. And Vegeta isn't just strong he's also smart, he's the one who pointed out to Nappa that just relying on numbers was foolish and that power level alone did not define the Earthlings as a threat. Goku had a reading of 5,000 while he was racing to the scene and he ordered Nappa to kill the rest of the earthlings before he arrived because he knew that Goku would give them a run for their money if he displayed the same capacity for increasing his power level from what the scouter said. So Vegeta is strong AND understands the realities of battle cannot be predicted by a single power number reading.
On the other hand we very shortly thereafter meet Cui, who is stated to be around the same power level as Vegeta at 18,000. We don't know enough about Cui to know if this is typical for his species or if he was a freak of nature on his planet. But we finally meet someone who isn't scared of Vegeta because they're actually on a comparable level, at least before the near death power boost starts factoring in.
Then there's Dodoria who has a power level of 22,000 and Zarbon who has a power level of 24,000. Two individuals aside from Freeza who are EASILY stronger than Vegeta. That's a big deal, but like. It's two people. Out of an army of what could presumably be thousands to millions. Vegeta is still standing pretty good in that hierarchy, tied for 4th place.
Then we meet the Ginyu force and aside from Guldo, the other three members are around 40,000. And Vegeta reacts appropriately to finding out they're arriving on Namek, FOUR dudes who are more than twice as strong as him and Guldo who has weird freaky powers. He probably grumbled under Dodoria and Zarbon, but he was shitting his pants over the Ginyu Force and it seems reasonable why. And Captain Ginyu has a power level of 120,000 (which, like, come the fuck on that's stupid he's more than twice as powerful as everyone else in his squad like fuck off that's officially when the scaling got ridiculous) so for as high an opinion as Vegeta had of himself he was keenly aware of how outclassed AND outnumbered he was by the Ginyu's.
So in terms of ranking, Freeza was at the top, then the four Ginyu members, then Dodoria and Zarbon, THEN Vegeta and Cui. So literally Vegeta is the 8th or 9th strongest member of the entire army, which again presumably could have thousands to millions of soldiers in it. Top 10 out of an ENTIRE ARMY is pretty fucking good. Vegeta definitely would have been recognized and feared by the vast majority of the Freeza Force.

💥 Interdimensional Smash Brawl 💥
Round 1 - Results
Tumblr media
"Hello again to everyone! Since we're done with the voting in all matches for the first round, it's time for us to know who will proceed to the second round and who'll be included in the Redemption Bracket!
We had to take further evaluations in the results of each match, especially for the 4th and 8th matches. But in the end, as neither of those matches had a concluded winner, it has been determined from the votes instead, much like the rest of the matches.
That being said, here are the teams who'll take part in the 2nd round:
No. 2 and No. 1 (@musekaiplex)
Kiana and Goku (@ancicntforged)
Maroon and Vegeta (@lawain-dimensional-heroes)
Kuwabara and Kazuya (@gravity-wall)
Karma and Mei (@bxd-kxrma)
Tohru and Elaina (@musekaiplex)
Calli and Kiara (@cutetubers)
Brown Bear and Wild Dog (@thesafaribaggirl-returns)
On the other hand, here is the list of teams who will be in the Redemption Bracket:
Izuka and Sypha (@femdeku-rp)
Tifa and Yor (@worldofwaifus)
Baldwin and Sarmenti (@thebreakfastmuses)
Kiryu and Majima (@allelitemuses)
Falcon and Sol (@allelitemuses)
Hermes and Zek (@strykingback)
Rin and Ritsu (@thesafaribaggirl-returns)
Carl and Furina (@starredvisions)
Tumblr media
But that's not all! As announced previously, there will be a rearrangement of the lineups for both the main and redemption brackets. So we've updated the roster for our participants to prepare for their next matches.
Tumblr media
What you're seeing on the left is the roster for the Main Bracket's 2nd Round. On the right side will be the 1st Round of the Redemption Bracket.
We've also assigned the hosts for each match as you can see in the list below:
Main Bracket - 2nd Round
Violet (@team-vlts)
Navia
Nana (@thesafaribaggirl-returns)
Bocchi (@hxroic-wxlls)
Redemption Bracket - 1st Round
Lala
Lucoa
Kotaro (@musekaiplex)
Ruby (@ancicntforged)
Please stay tuned for more announcements as we'll soon provide the guidelines for the upcoming rounds. See you all again later~"

Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13 Abridged Review
Originally posted August 4th, 2016
Team Four Star shows off their effortless mastery of clever comedy.
Tumblr media
On a purely structural level, Super Android 13 is probably the strongest of the Dragonball movie source material that Team Four Star has yet to work with. The androids themselves don’t require any convoluted explanation; they’re just the leftover scraps Dr. Gero has to rely on now that Android 17 and 18 have turned against him, and they kickstart the conflict immediately by attacking Goku in a public place, forcing our heroes out into the arctic to deal with them (which for all of Trunks’ mumbling, is a nice change of scenery from the usual desert wasteland).
These androids are a real threat too, forcing Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta to all go Super Saiyan in order to defeat them, only to find out that even a Super Saiyan can’t stand up to the fully powered Android 13. The conclusion to this fight is excellent as well, with Goku defeating 13 through a creative combination of his two most powerful abilities, rather than simply “punching him harder.”
Team Four Star even manages to avoid the stereotypical characterization of the villains used in these movies, imbuing each of the antagonists with a personality that goes beyond “the one with an accent,” “the one with a weird power,” and “the dumb one.” Android 15 is an homage to protagonists of classic Blaxploitation, walking, talking, and fighting with a near Super Saiyan level of swagger as he drinks himself into oblivion to numb the hollowness inside. Android 14 on the other hand is a quiet, introspective warrior, who from what we see seems to simply be trapped in the wrong crowd.
Both of these characters have fitting ends as well, with 15 being taken down by the prince of Saiyan swagger and utterly humiliated in the process, as Vegeta throws a dog treat at him right before he explodes. 14’s end is fitting as well, as he and Trunks clash and he realizes his impending doom, ending his life by observing that metal has both given him life and taken it away.
Tumblr media
Android 13, the primary antagonist, is fairly shallow by comparison. After all, there’s not too much more to him than a funny southern accent, an obsession with trucker hats, brute strength, and a little outright racism.1 It’s not exactly a deep character, especially when compared to the depth Team Four Star has achieved with characters like Cooler (who originally was literally just Freeza by a less clever name).
There is a part of me that feels it would be unfair to southerners to not criticize this shallow portrayal of their culture, but honestly, I had too much fun watching it to really care. RicePirate’s performance is incredibly charismatic, and even though 13 is shallow and kind of terrible, you can’t help but be endeared to him a little. KaiserNeko’s editing and sound design certainly helps here as well, as he makes sure that watching 13 beat the shit out of our protagonists is fun and impactful.
The rest of the movie’s strengths are pretty simple: Team Four Star jam packs these twenty minutes full of really smart jokes, making nods to the fraught relationship Vegeta and Trunks have when it comes to androids, joking about the length of time it takes the Saiyans to actually go Super, and poking fun at themselves in a series of brilliant fourth wall breaks at the end, wherein a narrator walks out and another steps in to criticize the lack of effort he’s perceived in the series since season 2. He may well have a point, not because Team Four Star has gotten lazy in season 3, but because they pull of making Super Android 13 so entertaining, compelling, and funny that it looks absolutely effortless.
Rating: 4.5/5

Stray Observations
113’s racism is actually kind of interesting, given that he calls out our protagonists for thinking 15’s defect is his color, but talks down to Piccolo later on due to his color. I’m not quite sure what it says about him, but it’s definitely the most nuanced part of his portrayal.
No quotes in the Strays today, just because this episode is so chock full of funny dialogue that quoting everything I like would fill up a full page.

Hm…
Hmm…
Hmmmmmmm….
I’ve always thought of how Goku’s father has his own fandom but like, what about King Vegeta the 4th? Like guys, there’s so much room for fanfic ideas!
Not me begging for fanfic writers to show Vegeta’s dad some love too

Make the DBZ Movies Canon
I've said it before - I love shonen movies because they're just MORE. More time with the characters we love with a bigger animation budget (most of the time).
Tumblr media
Again, imagine being the kid that LOVES Goku in 1997, and you want to see him go all out. Goku only uses SSJ3 twice in the anime, but he uses it 2 more times in the movies. You get 100% more SSJ3 with the movies. (Gear 4th Luffy is in a similar situation)
Also, imagine if fighting was like sex for sayans. How many GOOD fights did Goku have in his adult life? Piccolo, Vegeta, Freezer... maybe Majin Buu? Then it's nothing until Broli, I think.
(What about Cell, or Ginyu or Raditz - If sex ended with you bleeding on the floor, you wouldn't call that a good experience. lol)
But add in the movies and you could count - Jenemba, Android 13, Cooler, Slug... maybe Turles. (Not to mention OG Broly) Plus, all the other ones that were victories for the other characters like Garlik Jr, Bojack, or... Broly. Come to think of it, they were mostly there to make Gohan (or Goten) look good.
(It's almost like they're subs for Goku, when Goku's not around.)
So, here's my ideas on what you could do with the movie villains to add them to the canon in some capacity. Some would be big changes, and other tiny changes.
Tumblr media
One big change up would be starting with Dr. Wheelo. Make him the LAST Dragonball villain. The set up is that he wants to be the World's Strongest. He should try to clash with Goku and his friends like 1 year after Goku became tournament champion. Because he's completely out of his debts as a DBZ villain, but he's just tough enough to give Goku + Tien, Yamcha, & Krillin a challenge. And Toei could just RETCON him in say that it happened. (Maybe make a TV special to show it.)
Tumblr media
Next guy you gotta keep is Obviously Garlic Junior. He would make a great re-occuring villain for Gohan. Obviously, Dead Zone slots in pretty much unchanged into the anime right now. It's just a matter of who-meets-who when with Gohan/ Krillin/ Kami. I'd LOVE to see GJ capture Videl, or Pan, and he embues them with evil Energy and Gohan has to fight them but also save them.
Tumblr media
Turles would require a major overhaul. The concept of the Tree of Might is AWESOME, but the fact that he's a random doppelganger of Goku REALLY stands out. Maybe we could change him to look like Raditz, and what I would do with him is I would actually put him in Universe 7.
This would be a NEW movie where Turles is attacking planet Salad. He hates that the Sayans are good guys in Universe 7, and so he's gonna use the Tree of Might destroy the planet, kill the vast majority of Saiyans, and he's gonna eat the fruit of might to power up. And... what if since he's ESSENTIALLY absorbing a bunch of different Ki, he triggers the Super Sayan God transformation in himself. Of course, it means Kale, Califla, Cabba, and like Goten / Trunks have to save the day.
Tumblr media
Here's another great one. Lord Slug. I think they need to give him the Broly treatment. He needs a canon movie in Super. And he's def gonna be an interesting threat because now he can also borrow the new "orange" transformation. And this time, Goku needs Ultra Instinct to take him down.
They could also make him like an Evil Wizard. He's not just terraforming the Earth, now he wants to open up Earth's demon realm to unleash chaos because he feeds off of demon energy. That would also be an excuse to sideline Vegeta.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Cooler only needs to be reconned into those two years where they were training to fight the Androids.
And then Metal Cooler can return after Majin Buu. In this new version, both Goku and Vegeta can go SSJ2, and Goku can say SSJ3 just burns too much ki.
Tumblr media
A weird one would be Super Android 13. I think he works as a Terminator homage. (Like 3 robots just show up at a mall wanting to kill Goku) But there's NO WAY to make him work. There's no space where we can keep Goku, Vegeta, Trunks around. So i'd place him somewhere else...
The only place where he would make sense is in "The Great Saiyaman" Saga. Ya know, after the timeskip, but before the Buu Saga starts. So, it would be Teen Gohan, Goten, and Trunks (and Vegeta / Piccolo) taking him on. With Gohan going SSJ2 for the win.
(That would be great since Broly 2 is definitely on a dead timeline.)
Tumblr media
Obviously, Bojack slots in almost completely unchanged. This is after Cell is dead. There's nothing stopping Toriyama/ Toyotaro/ Toei from saying it happened. Another WIN for Gohan.
Tumblr media
BTW, they could also redo "Bio-Broly" and instead of being a clone of Broly, it could be a clone of Bojack. (Bio-Bojack)
Tumblr media
Jenemba is a weird one. A big draw of the movie is seeing Goku and Vegeta have to do the Fusion. That means we'd have to add him to what is now the end of the "timeline" after the canon Broly (/SH) movie. This does mean that neither Goku or Vegeta are dead, but that doesn't matter much.
They could start off by letting the dead warriors like Pikkon and Olibu fight. (Or maybe a team of villains taking on Jenemba for time off their sentence or reincarnation, like Cell or Bojack.)
Then Jenemba reaches his final form and the path to the living world opens up, and we get the chance for Gogeta to win the day.
Tumblr media
Finally, there's Hirudegarn. Again, he slots in without a problem after Majin Buu.
Tumblr media
But really finally, there's one more antagonist that needs to be added to the official Canon and that is "Baby." What makes him great is the body-snatcher/ body horror aspect. He's a synthetic alien parasite.
They could change him up a little bit. So that he's not made by the Truffles, and instead he's made by the Cerealians. He was a bioweapon they weren't able to implement before they were wiped out.
It's main plan is to destroy Freezer and his empire. So, Baby starts in space until someone like Jacco accidentally takes it to Earth. It be best to make it TWO movies. One where Baby takes over, and then a last desperate band that has to take on Baby Vegeta with Ultra Ego.
