So I’ve noticed you’ve been getting a lot of what if this dragon ball character was in Yakuza so how about we do the opposite. Here’s some characters and you tell us how they would fair in DB land. Daigo, Goro, Nick & Taiga. Anyway love your art hope this puts balance into the universe. 💚
nick's definitely like. An Honored Guest at capsule corp parties i just know he is meanwhile saejima and daigo are probably The Most Normal chaps just minding their business, esp if they're running a security company now
every time shit starts to stir in the city i already know majima's hauling ass to the site

Dragon Ball Super 070
Tumblr media
Time for a baseball episode (derogatory).
Sigh... All right, let’s just get through this.  So Champa contacts Beerus and proposes a friendly game of baseball to build “good relations between Universe 6  and 7.”  I’m pretty sure the assemlbed teams represent the only people in either universe that are aware of the other universe.  
Some issues with this premise:
Tumblr media
1) Champa is only doing this as a pretense to go to Earth and enjoy its delicious cuisine.   This seems pointless, as Universe 6′s own Earth was restored in Episode 41.   Beerus specifically wished for this so that Champa could enjoy Earth food whenever he liked.   Did he forget about this, or does U6′s Earth food just suck?   Or maybe the U6 Earthlings destroyed themselves all over again?  I mean, the Super Dragon Balls could bring them back to life, but that doesn’t resolve whatever they were fighting over when they died.
Tumblr media
2) Champa can’t even field a whole team, so Vegeta and Goten switch sides to make it fair.  Maybe they should have organized a Pickleball tournament instead.
Tumblr media
3) Only three characters in this cartoon know how to play baseball, and two of them are the umpires.  Everyone keeps fucking around and/or trying to hurt one another, because it’s a Dragon Ball cartoon and that’s how they all roll. 
Tumblr media
Let me just focus on Yamcha here, because he’s the only character who manages to look cool in all of this.  Goku manages to strike out Champa, then Yamcha takes over pitching and strikes out two more batters.  Then he’s the first at bat, and Vegeta beans him because he thinks the object is to incapacitate the opposing team.   So Yamcha gets a free trip to first base. 
Then he steals second and third because Champa doesn’t understand the rules well enough to stop him.  At one point he throws the ball at Yamcha to cut him off, and apparently that’s illegal.   I thought you could do that, but now that I think about it, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Tumblr media
Then Beerus and Champa start fighting above the field, and Whis and Vados have to stop them before it destroys the entire universe.  Destroyer Gods fighting is supposed to be a serious taboo, just like time travel.  Funny how Beerus destroyed Bulma’s lab, but he gets to keep his hands.
Anyway, Whis and Vados call off the rest of the game due to the Destroyers’ poor sportsmanship, so we didn’t even get a full inning into this nonsense.  Champa is horrified to learn that the game is a tie, but it’s not.  Universe 7 wins, because...
Tumblr media
... While Beerus and Whis were fighting, and all the other players were cowering in terror, Yamcha managed to steal home plate.  So U7 wins, 1-0. 
Tumblr media
This whole episode is played up like a backhanded compliment to Yamcha.  He perserveres through the whole episode to win the game, and everyone congratulates him for it, but there’s also a lot of dunking on Yamcha too.  Like “Way to go, Yamcha, I guess you’re not completely useless after all!” That sort of thing.
Also, this whole “Yamcha loves this because he used to be a major leaguer” thing kind of contradicts the very episode of DBZ that this is referring to.  Yeah, Yamcha was the star player for the Taitans in Age 761, but he also found the game boring as hell, and he only did it for the money. 
Tumblr media
Sure, he’s had 18 years to change his mind about the game, and I suspect he’s mostly into this because it’s a chance to look cool in front of the others, but this episode is still kind of a let-down for me.  There was a baseball issue of the Tenchi Muyo! comic, there was a baseball episode of Deep Space Nine, there was a baseball episode of Transformers, etc. etc.  This is the literal definition of a trope shows use to blow off an episode.

The 13 Worst Moments in Dragon Ball
There are far too many best moments to count, but this makes counting the worst easier.
(Note: Dragon Ball GT and non-canon movies, specials or games are not counted here.)
Tumblr media
Goku kills Commander Black.
The end of the Red Ribbon Army has Advisor Black kill Commander Red and usurp his position. He then gets in a mech suit and tries to kill Goku. Goku defeats him, he makes a strategic retreat....only for Goku to mercilessly chase after him and kill him! WTF!? I don't think I need to explain how horrendously OOC for Goku this is. Paired with the already uncomfortable factors surrounding the Black character, it creates a low point to end this lengthy conflict on. The Path to Power movie handled this battle and Black's death better.
Tumblr media
The Pilaf Gang returns.
While the Red Ribbon Army is defeated, the story arc goes on with the whole Fortuneteller Baba affair, which to its credit concludes with a touching reunion between Goku and his dead adoptive grandfather. Unfortunately, rather than wrap up after this, we regress to the battle with Black by having another mech suit battle over the final Dragon Ball! And it's against...Emperor Pilaf, Shu and Mai? Look, I know that the anime had made them popular by expanding their roles; in fact they were even added into this very story arc already early in. But they were just a 5 chapter obstacle in the original manga before this! So in that context, it makes zero sense for them to suddenly show up as if they're important recurring characters! All it does is drag out an already dragged out story arc even further and test our patience!
Tumblr media
Yajirobe climbs Korin's Tower.
In the super serious King Piccolo saga, the glutenous and cowardly ronin Yajirobe already felt out of place. But I could tolerate him up until he is used to rush Goku up Korin's Tower...the same tower that previously only Master Roshi and Goku had been able to climb. And now this guy climbs up it much faster because he was promised food at the top? Yeah, not buying it.
Tumblr media
Yamcha is killed by a Saibaman.
That image right there. It has come to define Yamcha's "Memetic Loser" status, and honestly, it feels unfair. While always something of a Butt Monkey type, Yamcha was one of the earliest main characters in the series. He was Goku's first rival: before Krillin, Tien, Piccolo or Vegeta. He was shown to be a strong fighter. He took part in training for a year before Nappa and Vegeta's arrival on Earth. And yet instead of falling to them in battle, he gets kamikazed to death by one of their underlings, the Saibamen, because he arrogantly turns his back to it after thinking it was defeated. After that, it's been nothing but L after L for poor Yamcha....
Tumblr media
Majin Buu screams the time-space continuum apart.
This fucking sequence of events drives me crazy. While fighting Majin Buu in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gotenks starts acting as if he's being put on the ropes...not to fool Buu, but to fool Piccolo (the only other one there) so that it can shock and impress him when he turns the tables. Gotenks is a dumbass so this checks out. But Piccolo actually believes it, and he destroys the entrance/exit to the chamber so that Buu will be trapped in there forever even after destroying them. Gotenks comes clean and he and Piccolo have a comedic shouting match until Buu, distraught at the idea of being trapped without food, screams at the top of his lungs and somehow rips open a portal in space-time that allows him to escape. While he is then massacring damn near everyone on Kami's Lookout (off panel in the original manga!), Gotenks and Piccolo also try screaming to open a portal, to no avail. And so in the end, Gotenks reveals he can turn Super Saiyan 3, a form that it took Goku years of training alongside powerful warriors in the afterlife to achieve, and that's enough to open a portal for him and Piccolo to exit through....too late to save anyone, of course! This is the precise moment when the final stretch of the original manga and Z anime started going to shit. The burnt out Toriyama clearly just did not give a fuck what he was writing and drawing anymore.
Tumblr media
Majin Buu absorbs Gotenks, Piccolo and Gohan.
Buu screaming a portal open through time and space was Strike 1. Strike 2 is when Buu, fresh off of receiving a satisfying beatdown from Gohan, is able to turn the tables by absorbing Gotenks and Piccolo, an ability he was never shown to have before...and something that was only possible because Toriyama regresses Gohan back to the same overconfident stupidity that cost him greatly in the Cell Saga. Gohan then faces a humiliating beatdown from Buu, as if to punish him for thinking he could be the main character who saves the day instead of Goku despite that being the most logical, organic route for the series to take. Speaking of which, Goku himself shows up to help with a plan to fuse with his son...a plan that fails when Gohan also gets absorbed by Buu. The result is Goku having to fuse with a returning Vegeta instead, which started the tiresome trend of Goku and Vegeta being the co-leads of the franchise and the only ones who are capable of accomplishing anything.
Tumblr media
"End of Z".
This epilogue - 2 chapters in the manga and 3 episodes in the anime - ended the original Dragon Ball / Dragon Ball Z on an incredibly weak note. It's 10 years since the main events of the Buu Saga, and at the latest Tenkaichi Budokai we are introduced to Uub, the human reincarnation of Kid Buu. After bringing out Uub's power by acting like a schoolyard bully to provoke his anger, Goku just up and decides to go off with Uub to his village so that he can train him, abandoning his friends and family on the spur of the moment. Not only does this make Goku look far worse than I think Toriyama intended, but his intent to leave the story open to be picked up with a passing of the torch to Uub, as if that makes up for botching it with Gohan, would be laughable were it not so offensive. We spent chapters upon chapters, episodes upon episodes, watching Gohan develop. We cared about him, we were invested in him taking the torch from Goku. Backtracking on that in the last saga isn't something that can ever be recovered from, and especially not with some rando kid we just met who is the reincarnation of the latest villain that we barely spent any time with and was ultimately just a mindless psychopath. This was Strike 3. Dragon Ball was out; never quite the same again.
Tumblr media
Goku is sniped by a ray gun.
Resurrection F is great as a largely standalone action film, not so great as a full-fledged saga in the anime, but there is one moment in both iterations that just does not work. Goku has defeated Freeza and lets his guard down....and gets shot through the chest with a ray gun beam from Freeza's henchman Sorbet, which almost kills him. I'm sorry, what!? At the time, Goku is still in his Super Saiyan Blue form, which is the Super Saiyan form harnessing the energy of a Super Saiyan God. No matter how much his guard was let down, I highly doubt that a mere ray gun beam would do that much damage. If Sorbet had done something to distract Goku so that Freeza could shoot a beam through him, that would work. But as it stands, we have Goku almost done in by Sorbet. He's lucky he managed to survive and redeem himself by killing Freeza once more, or else he'd officially be our new Yamcha.
Tumblr media
Future Trunks' universe is erased.
The best arc in the Dragon Ball Super anime had come to a highly cathartic conclusion where Future Trunks cuts Merged Zamasu in half. There was just one more episode left where everything could be wrapped up in a satisfying...wait, WTF? Zamasu's spirit is taking over the multiverse!? How!? Why!? And because of this utter Ass-Pull, Zeno has to be brought in as a literal Deus Ex Machina, destroying Zamasu once and for all by erasing Future Trunks' entire universe from existence. The wrap-up afterwards is a somber affair, with Whis creating a new timeline for Future Trunks and Future Mai to inhabit, and Future Trunks' last scene has him crying over his failure. I am flabbergasted to this day at how anyone thought this ending was a good idea. It takes a beloved character and gives him the mother of all Happy Ending Overrides, while denying viewers the catharsis that should come at the defeat of one of the series' most loathsome villains. I've heard fans dislike the manga version too where it's multiple copies of Zamasu rather than his spirit merging with the multiverse and where Future Trunks and Future Mai are totally nonchalant about their timeline's fate and just jump to another earlier timeline (pre-existing rather than created by Whis), but as a fan of the Xenoverse games I feel that version makes more sense. Time is flexible, the people and places in an earlier timeline before the one that was pruned should still be considered theirs by Trunks and Mai so tears would be an overblown reaction. Plus at least in this version Zamasu goes out in a cathartic way, fully aware and terrified at his impending doom via Zeno.
Tumblr media
Master Roshi goes too far.
While Master Roshi's perverted shtick has always been hit and miss, to put it lightly, he somehow sunk to a new low during the Super anime's final arc. When fighting in the Tournament of Power, he is faced with Caway, a beautiful female fighter who uses a seduction technique on him. Roshi's response is bulking up and going on about all the repressed urges he has, finishing with "don't blame me for what I might do next" as he reaches out for Caway. Poor Caway is terrified and disqualifies herself by fleeing the arena. So basically, a rape threat played as a joke. How utterly disgusting. Kudos to the English dub, which fixes it by instead having Roshi just threaten to beat Caway up because he's pissed that she tried a seduction technique on him when he's been trying to repress his perverted side as of late; essentially he's like an alcoholic in rehab threatening to knock the crap out of someone who just tried to offer them a bottle. That's funnier and keeps Roshi more likable.
Tumblr media
Kakarot becomes Kal-El.
Why, Toriyama? You yourself said you loved the Bardock: The Father of Goku anime special, to the point where you canonized Bardock a few months after it aired. So why completely go against that special by changing Bardock into a decent man who, alongside his wife, lovingly sends Kakarot off to Earth in order to protect him from their home planet's impending destruction? Goku's story was great because it was a twist on the Superman story: he was sent to Earth as a baby with the intent of destroying it, not for his own protection. His father was largely apathetic toward him, was not there for him getting sent away, and never had any change of heart about his ruthless warrior lifestyle...he just went crazy and got killed. But now he's just Jor-El, getting an emotional moment alongside his wife as they sent their child into space for his own good. Way to take away everything unique and interesting, Toriyama.
Tumblr media
Moro reveals his last wish.
The Super manga's first exclusive story arc started out with great potential, with Moro being a mysterious villain who did something no-one else had done before: make three wishes on the Namekian Dragon Balls but conceal what his third wish was, leaving the heroes and the reader in suspense as to what he wished for and how it would factor into his master plan. But then it ended up being revealed pretty quickly: he wished for every criminal in the Galactic Patrol's prison to be released in order to serve as his army. That's it!? This reveal is not only not worth the suspense, but the whole arc ends up going downhill from there, as Toyotaro begins filling it with cliches and blatant Author Appeal that drags on longer than it needs to.
Tumblr media
Gohan awakens the beast within.
Originally, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was going to just be Piccolo's movie. Toriyama didn't want Gohan as a major player at all, but was convinced to have him be the co-star by the movie's producer. However, I am pretty damn sure the producer requested this with the Great Saiyaman in mind. It's called Super Hero and features two dramatically posing superheroes as antagonists. This is a situation tailor-made for the Great Saiyaman! And yet Gohan's superhero alter-ego is not seen nor referenced once throughout the entire movie. Instead, Toriyama ignores the Super anime and manga by starting up another "Gohan has been slacking off and stupidly believes he doesn't need to be prepared for a crisis and thus must be urged by Piccolo to start training and fighting and re-awakening his inner power" arc, which culminates in Gohan Beast vs. Cell Max, one of the most depressingly unoriginal things Toriyama has ever written. It's literally just Super Saiyan 2 Gohan from the Cell Saga combined with the "Gohan Blanco" internet meme. He acts exactly like his edgy Super Saiyan 2 self, even to a literal copy of Semi-Pefect Cell, as if he has completely forgotten how badly that whole thing went down and what it cost him! Gohan is finally afforded the spotlight and a major victory again.....and it's this!? This rotten bunch of Memberberries!? Credit to Toyotaro and the Super manga for doing its best to salvage this plot point. While I continue to be saddened by Toriyama's untimely passing, I'm glad that we still have someone capable to carry the torch going forward....something that Gohan may also at last be allowed to do now.

⚡ I know nothing about Dragonball, other than what little I have been exposed to it over the years (which tbh haven't exactly been a very stellar introduction to it), but I always felt a certain fondness for that OC of yours who also had jack all to do with any of the events, not even knowing who Goku is, but fervently wanting to kick his ass all the same. Cayenne, wasn't it?
Hell yeah, I love Cayenne lmao
1. Cayenne was my first Dragon Ball OC and very much started as a joke character lmao. Literally a background character who was getting really tired of Goku and pals wrecking shit. Like yeah they're out here saving the world but they're also ruining her weekend plans and that is unforgivable lmao. So she was gonna go kick his ass. She'll kick everyone's ass. She'll kick her own ass if she has to. Mind you she is a teenager and he is a literal god at this point, but she's too stupid and stubborn to know when to quit lmao. Funny thing is, she'd actually probably get along really well with Goku if she met him (and didn't know he was Goku lmao).
2. While a majority of her personality is about kicking ass and taking names (even if they are incorrect as she is really bad at remembering them) she's got a softer side too. She is actually surprisingly really good with kids (unless they are rude and then she can, will, and has thrown hands with a literal four year old lmao) and she is very soft for her cool android girlfriend (who is an OC owned by my friend). She thinks a lot about getting married someday and has a very specific fantasy where Gonku crashes the wedding and they go and kick his ass and then like smooch over his defeated body, it's very ridiculous laksdjfklsd
3. She is not academically minded in the least, but she knows a surprising amount about movies and movie production! Her favorites are the ones that have the most action, explosions and boobs lmao. Her tastes are very simple. She's tried to take notes for like, attempted fighting techniques, but she always ends up getting way too distracted by what's happening on-screen. She's also very gifted in sports, though she's not on any teams anymore after she got caught forging signatures to get on said teams in the first place.
4. While she's trying every training method she can think of on her own to get stronger and kick Gonku's ass, she does have an actual fighting instructor in the form of another OC owned by my friend, who is Yamcha's wife. She won't actually teach Cayenne much of anything (nor will she let Yamcha) because she knows full well trying to fight Goku is a suicide mission, but she humored her anyway, if only because Cayenne is persistent and wouldn't go away lmao. However, Cayenne eventually became enough of a permanent fixture in the family that once her shitty dad died and she was officially left parent-less, she ended up getting adopted. Now Yamcha is her dad lmao. Rather than calling them mom and dad, they are Sensei and Coach (because Yamcha is a professional baseball player) respectively. She now has a couple of siblings, one of which being the aforementioned 4 year old she has tried to throw hands with--
5. She'll never get strong enough to defeat Gonku properly, but all things considered, she is actually stronger than the average person and I like to think that one day when she's older and hopefully chilled out at least a modicum, she'll luck out and wind up becoming the next world champion, who already gets to pretend to beat Goku in tournaments in order to keep his public reputation as the world's strongest man (it's a whole thing in canon that would take too long to explain). So, at the very least, Cayenne might get the illusion of finally beating Gonku, which is funny to think about lmao.

Never Gonna Be Alone part 2
“Oh, You've gotta live every single day, Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes? Don't let it slip away, Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun Every single day, May be our only one, what if tomorrow never comes? Tomorrow never comes
Time, is going by, so much faster than I, And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you.
You're never gonna be alone! From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall, When all hope is gone I know that you can carry on We're gonna take the world on I'll hold you 'till the hurt is gone ”
~Chad Kroeger & Mutt Lange

Part 2 of my Dragon Age Inquisition Trespasser fic snippet below cut for possible spoilers.    Takes place during the time skip between cutscenes at the end of the DLC.  
Dorian Pavus x Kartaelin Lavellan
@14daysdalovers Prompt: Breathless Kisses
Image setup and Rendered in DAZ Studio 4.15.  Postwork in Photoshop Elements 8.0.
Bigger Here
Part 1
From behind the pair, two sets of footfalls rushed toward them, one heavy, the other fleet, and The Iron Bull and Sera soon came around into view.
"Hey, Boss.  Looks like you made it in time."
"Hi, Bull, he was here for me, he never needed our help.  He tipped us off in order to save the South from the Qunari attacks and to get me here, to save me."
"Shite!" exclaimed Sera as she came around in front of the pair sitting on the ground.  "What happened to your arm?  Dorian, how can you hold it against you like that!?"  Her face scrunched up aghast at the sight of it.
Dorian raised an eyebrow at the crude elf, "That's where you draw the line, is it?  You'll hand someone a glass of piss to drink for shits and giggles, but you can't abide the touch of a friend's ghastly wound!?"
"I'll have to remember that one," Sera giggled with a grin on her face, "but no, that's not what I meant, and you know it.  Ugh!  Frustrating people are... frustrating!"
"It's alright, Sera," interjected Kartaelin, always the calming voice amongst his friends.  "You don't have to touch it.  Solas removed it to stop the anchor from killing me."
"Double shite," replied Sera.  "So... you're okay now, yeah?  It still doesn't look like it's good, is all.  So, what's next?"
"We need to get him back to Orlais, and to a proper healer," answered Dorian.
"Can you walk, Boss?" Bull asked.
"I think so.  The anchor is no longer wracking my body, there's just a throbbing and occasional pain when I move my arm.  It's odd, there's a distinct sensation that it's all still there, but then I remember..."  Kartaelin moved to get up, but the Tevinter would have none of it. 
"You're in shock, I can't have you falling down the stairs and cracking your skull on the pavement on our way out of here.  Can you imagine, walking into the Winter Palace, 'Where is the Inquisitor?', 'Oh, we allowed him to lead us back after having his arm amputated, and gee, well, he fell down the stairs and into the abyss.  Can you believe it!'  Leliana and Josephine will have all of our heads after the effort they've put into saving this organization.  So, no, I'll carry you.  Bull, can you gather his things?"  Dorian sighed, “Sometimes I feel like I should be in the one in charge."
The Iron Bull nodded and gathered the Inquisitor's belongings.  
"I like it when you take charge," said Kartaelin huskily, the familiar lopsided grin that had been absent these last few days finally returning to his face.  
Knowing where this was headed, Bull ushered Sera toward the stairs amidst loud protests.  As much as he'd also like to stick around and enjoy the show, he knew they needed to get back to the Exalted Council and the healers at the palace, and the only way to hurry the two love birds along was to leave them behind.
"Festis bei umo canavarum!" exclaimed the mage, wiping the remaining tears from his eyes.  "Is this really the time or place for this?  ...You're just lucky that I love you so much."
"I am," Kartaelin replied coyly, wrapping his hand in his lover’s leather collar and pulling him closer to him.  He craned his neck until his lips met Dorian's and he peppered him with soft kisses.  It was the least he could do after worrying him so terribly.  They'd both feared his impending doom on account of the mark, and Dorian took it especially hard.  He'd put up a wall around his heart a long time ago to prevent himself from being hurt by anyone, but the Inquisitor had broken right through, and the thought of him being taken from him so soon tore him up inside.
Slowing his ministrations to one final passionate kiss and savoring the moment, Kartaelin pressed his forehead to Dorian's.  "I'm sorry I worried you so much, ma vhenan.  I never wished to cause you hurt."
"I know, amatus.  I just... I couldn't bear to lose you like this," Dorian replied, choking up again.  "The thought of the one bright spot in my life being ripped away by ancient elven magic, just..."
The Inquisitor reached up to cup Dorian’s face with his hand, tenderly caressing his cheek with his thumb.  "It's alright, Dorian, I'm safe now.  Solas has bought us time, but we have more work to do.  We should get back to the council.  I'll fill you in on the way."  He leaned in for one more kiss before the Tevinter could reply, taking his breath away.
Pulling back slowly, his lip caught playfully by the Inquisitor, Dorian gently gathered the elf into his arms.  "You are right of course, but what's all this 'bought us time' business?"  With a grunt he stood, the Inquisitor held tightly against his chest, "You are heavier than you look.  Eating too many of those fancy tea cakes Solas likes so much?"
Kartaelin let out a hearty laugh, "I suppose there's no chance of you changing your mind about letting me walk out of here under my own power then?"
"Not a chance," Dorian smiled, heading back toward the stairs and the exit.
"Well, we could ask Bull to carry me if I'm too heavy for you," Kartaelin smirked.
"Truly?  This is how you treat me after the moment we've just shared!?  I should drop you right where we stand," Dorian replied in mock irritation.
"And what would the others say?" Kartaelin teased.
"They'd agree with me, you little shit!" countered the mage.  "Then they'd come back to get you anyway....  Remind me again, why is it that I love you?"
"This IS why you love me," Kartaelin sassed.
Dorian sighed, "Well, you're not wrong.  Tell me, were you always this antagonizing?"
"It's just for you.  You bring out the best in me, Dorian," the elf responded.  "Or the worst, depends on how you look at it.  Either way, you wouldn't want it any other way."
"Maker, what did I do to deserve this!?" Dorian mused in exasperation.
Kartaelin just smiled.  Pressing his injured arm against his own chest, the Inquisitor placed his hand over Dorian's heart and rested his head against his shoulder.
"Oh, the things I'm going to do to you tonight," the Tevinter mage muttered under his breath.
"I look forward to it," Kartaelin quipped, nuzzling the jaw of the man he adored.
"Of course, you do," Dorian breathed.  He still worried about the ‘bought time’ remark, but he trusted the elf wouldn’t keep him in the dark for long.  He had to accept that right here, right now he was holding his amatus in his arms and they were both alive and safe for the moment.

So, it’s literally been 7 years since I drew anything seriously.  x.X  There were a couple Dragon Age Inquisition and a few other unfinished sketches since then, but everything else has been 3D renders.  This one is another illustration for the fic I’ve been writing which I’ll post below.  As far as pencils go, this is done.  Now I’m just debating on whether I should print it on bristol/watercolor paper and paint it.  I don’t think I’d have the patience to ink and paint it in photoshop, but you never know.
Anyway, the fic follows the previous two parts I posted and takes place at the end of Trespasser.  It starts after they arrive back at the Winter Palace and the Inquisitor has seen the healer for treatment.
Pairing: Dorian x Lavellan

“Would you mind accompanying me back to my room, Dorian?  There’s something you may wish to see.” 
“Is this like that time in your quarters?” Dorian smirked, following behind the Inquisitor.
Kartaelin laughed, “Not quite.  Not yet, at least.  We still need to return to the council and I need to change first.  I…,”  He hesitated, ashamed to ask,  “was hoping you might help me with that.”  
The mage was a bit thrown by the question.  Normally he’d take it in jest assuming it was a sort of foreplay the elf had in mind, but the request this time was much more serious and somber.  “Of course, Amatus, it would be my pleasure,” he replied with a smile, coming up beside him and squeezing his hand.
Kartaelin turned his head to look at him and offered a halfhearted smile, his cheeks still flushed with embarrassment.
In an attempt to lighten the mood, Dorian inquired, “So, what is it you have to show me in your quarters?  Is it some one of a kind tome or trinket our Spymaster acquired for you?  Hmm?”
Entering the palace and turning toward the guest wing, the elf flashed a teasing grin, “You’ll just have to wait and see.  We’re almost there anyway.”  
The pair climbed the flight of stairs and turned the corner.  Approaching a door at the end of the hall, Kartaelin began to dig through a belt pouch and produced a key which he handed to the Tevinter.  “Go ahead, open it,” he coaxed, gesturing to the door.
The mage looked at him, one brow raised.  “What!?” exclaimed the elf, “It’s not going to bite you.”
“Now you’re making me even more suspicious,”  Dorian replied.
Kartaelin chuckled, “I assure you, there’s nothing to be wary of.”
“Famous last words,” the mage answered, looking at the elf dubiously.  The Inquisitor slapped his hand to his face and shook his head.  Dorian grinned and turned back to unlock the door.  Opening it, he stepped inside to find a large luxury suite.  Not quite as lavish as the estates back home, but fairly impressive for the south.  Ahead of him were two semicircular couches arranged around a low table for entertaining guests.  The room was ringed with high windows, all open, overlooking the gardens, with a central door that led onto a balcony.  The windows were hung with curtains that could be drawn when needed for extra privacy, though the room’s position on the upper floor would afford them much already.  To his right, there was a ceramic bath recessed into a raised stone platform.  Beneath the platform, was set a fireplace for heating the water.  A hot tub!  Dorian had never seen one outside of Tevinter palatial homes.   To the left stood a fireplace and chaise piled with luxurious blankets, and beyond that another door, likely leading to the bedroom.  How in the world had the Inquisitor procured such a suite?  It was certainly a testament to how far the Inquisition had come over these past 3 years.
“Is this..?” Dorian began, but the Inquisitor, who’d walked past him into the room a moment before cut him off.
“The suite with the wyvern down bed?  It is indeed.  After you’d mentioned it in the courtyard, I’d asked Josephine if she could procure one for us for the night.”
“You are an absolutely magnificent creature, Amatus!  You know that don’t you!?” the mage exclaimed, sliding his arms around the Inquisitors waist and nuzzling the back of his ear.  Kartaelin leaned back into the embrace.  The heat of Dorian’s breath on his neck and the feel of his body pressed against him distracted the elf from his obligations, and they stood there preoccupied with one another for a long moment, until the memory of his responsibility came back to him.  
Kartaelin sighed and turned around to face his lover, slowly taking a step back and taking the mage’s hand in his, as Dorian’s other hand trailed down the elf’s body to alight on his hip.  “As much as I wish the rest of this evening was ours alone, we still have business to attend to before we can retire here for the night.  Come, help me dress for the council,” he said nodding toward the room at the other side of the suite.  He turned and made his way across the room to the bedroom.  His formal wear was laid out on the bed where he’d left it before they’d headed through the eluvian.
Dorian followed him in and, sitting down on the edge of the bed, he untied the belt of the skirt and began to loosen the bindings of the elf’s corset.  While the mage worked, the gravity of his injury finally set down on the Inquisitors shoulders, and a situation that normally would have led to arousal and playfulness instead led him to a spiral of despair.  He could barely undress himself with just one hand, how would he ever get past all those damned belts that Dorian typically wore?  Would the mage truly still want him now that he was broken, or would he let the distance be a balm allowing him to break it off more easily?  The elf, who had been such a strong leader for the Inquisition and the glue binding it together, was now filled with doubt and uneasiness about the future.  There was nothing he could do to stop himself from breaking down in the presence of the man he loved.
It started with a soft sob that lightly shook his body, but the perceptive Tevinter noticed immediately and looked up from the task at hand.  “What’s wrong?” he asked, concerned.  He pulled open the corset and let it fall to the ground before placing his hands on the elf’s waist to steady him.  Kartaelin could hold back the floodgates no longer and collapsed into Dorian’s loving arms.  He cried into the mage’s shoulder, his arm slung around his neck.  Dorian pulled him close and slowly, rhythmically rubbed his back in an attempt to console him.  “Where did this come from, Amatus?” he whispered soothingly into the elf’s ear, but the Inquisitor was unable to respond, as he was lost in fear and doubt.  All the Tevinter could do was hold him tight and offer calming words.  
“It’s going to be alright, Taelin.  We’ve made it this far thanks to your leadership.  You can tell me anything.  I’m here for you, always.”  It was distressing to see the elf like this.  Through everything they’d encountered, his strength had remained a constant, bolstering and guiding everyone around him.  Even when the anchor was tearing him apart, he’d done his best to shield them all from his pain so as not to worry them.  But Dorian did worry, and it hurt when he realized Kartaelin hadn’t allowed him to share that burden, even if there was little he could do.  “Tell me, what can I do to help, Amatus?”
As the Inquisitor finally regained some measure of control over his emotions, he looked up into Dorian’s eyes, “I don’t know how I’m going to make it through, Dorian.  I can’t even dress myself.  How am I going to survive?  I’ve never felt so helpless in my life.  And you’re leaving me for Tevinter tomorrow.  I don’t even know when I’ll see you again.”  His tears continued to fall, streaming down his face and soaking his leather armor.
Dorian brought one hand around to wipe the tears away and smiled affectionately at the elf.  “I was saving this until the council was over and I’d spoken with our advisors, but, from the look of things, you need to hear it now.  I’ve decided to delay my return to Tevinter temporarily,” he paused watching for his companion’s reaction.  The elf’s eyes widened in surprise, though still rimmed with tears.  “I can’t stay indefinitely, but I won’t just leave you like this.  We’ll work through this together, Amatus.  I do love you, you know, and I have confidence in your ability to convalesce.”  Kartaelin nodded, a halfhearted smile crossing his face. 
This man will be the death of me yet, Dorian thought as he tenderly wiped away the tears from his companion’s eyes again.  But you wouldn’t have it any other way, he answered himself.  
“After the council, I’ll have a raven sent to Maeveris to inform her that I’ll be returning in a months time and asking that she keep me apprised of the situation in Tevinter.”  He paused to allow the Inquisitor a chance to respond.  “Does this help?”
Kartaelin let out a shaky sigh and readjusted into a less precarious position on the mage’s lap. “Dorian, thank you,” he said, reaching up to caress the Tevinter’s cheek.  “I… I was just overwhelmed by everything that’s happened.  I guess the realization of what I’d lost and what I was about to lose finally hit me all at once.”
“You’re not losing me, Taelin, I’m just going to be further away, that’s all, and the sending crystal will help with that.  You know we both have work we must do, and I can’t do what I must without returning to Tevinter.  I wish there was another way, but we’ll make it work.  Besides, no one will be able to stop you, anyway when you decide you need to see my beautiful face and you charge into Tevinter on your white horse,” he said with a smirk as he curled the ends of his mustache in his fingers and raised an eyebrow.
The Inquisitor’s signature grin returned to his face and he replied in a husky voice, “You’re right.  Nothing will stop me when I come for what’s mine.”  He gripped the mage’s collar and pulled him closer, while wrapping his legs around his waist.
“Ooo, possessive are we?” Dorian purred.  “My how the tables have turned.  A magister, slave to a strapping young elf.  Scandalous!  What will they say?”
“It will be Mother Giselle all over again.  You know how that ended,” he replied, reaching up to run his fingers through Dorian's short hair and pressing his forehead to his lover’s.
The Tevinter chuckled, “Yes, well, that might not work quite as well for us in my homeland.  It’s not ordinarily that easy to intimidate one's detractors in Tevinter, nor to ignore them.  I live there.  I know.  It’s cutthroat.  Commendable effort though, Amatus.”  He planted a tender kiss on the elf’s cheek before moving on to nuzzle his ear.  “Now, where were we?  Ah, yes, helping you change for the conclusion of the Exalted Council.  Come, lift your arms so I can help you with the top.  The sooner this is done, the sooner we can pick up where we left off,” he said with a wink.  The Inquisitor was clearly disappointed, but Dorian knew he would thank him after this was over, in more ways than one. 
Unwrapping himself from Dorian, Kartaelin slid back off of his lap and raised his arms so the mage could undo the unnervingly warm leather cuirass.  Tossing it aside onto the bed, the Tevinter took a moment to admire the toned, lean body of his lover, absently tracing a scar that ran down his chest.  “Dorian,”  the elf interrupted, bringing him back from his reverie.
“Right,” he replied, sitting back down on the bed, “boots next.”  He bent down to unbuckle the straps allowing the soft leather to fold down, making it easy for the Inquisitor to step out of them.  While Dorian undid his boots, Kartaelin went to work on untying his breeches, he would need as much practice as he could get and this was a simple start.  Gently tugging the lace released the knot and as Dorian finished with his boots, the loosened breeches slid to the ground and the elf stepped back out of them.  Dorian caught him by the hips and pulled him back toward him, placing a kiss on his lower abs then wrapping his arms tightly around him.
“Dorian,”  the Inquisitor repeated.  He truly enjoyed his love’s attention and wished it could continue, but he knew the longer they dallied, the higher the tension at the council and the more pressure on Josephine and Leliana who were trying to keep the peace in his absence.
Looking up at the man he adored, he acknowledged, “I know, Amatus.  This day has just been too much.  I’ll be glad when it’s settled and we can get back to some semblance of normalcy, though what that might look like I’ve no idea.”
“You’ll get no argument from me, ma vhenan.  Let's just get this over with so our evening can begin.”  He smiled down at Dorian and stroked the back of his head.  
The mage smiled back at him and handed him the trousers that were laid out next to him on the bed, “Here, see if you can handle this.  You’re going to need a pin for the sleeve of the jacket, so let me see what I have in my bags.”
“You can check my things as well, Dorian,” responded the elf as he sat on the bed next to him and began pulling on the trousers.  The button closures were a bit tricky with just one hand, but he managed without too much trouble.  As he picked up the jacket and pulled it over his injured arm, Dorian placed a hand on his shoulder, “I can help with that.”  
Kartaelin looked over at the mage while he slid his right arm into the other sleeve.  “Yes, please.  I may be able to get the buttons, but I need your help with the sash and this,” he said, gingerly waving his left arm, the half empty sleeve flapping around with each movement.
“Before we button it, let me deal with the sleeve.  I found this to pin it with,” Dorian answered, placing a small metal brooch into the Inquisitor’s hand, and going to work on folding the sleeve.  The elf turned it over in his hand examining the intricate metalwork and small inset stones, the craftsmanship was superb.  There was something familiar about the design.  Where had he seen it before?  His thought was interrupted by his companion, “Does this feel okay, Amatus?  I don’t wish to pin it too tightly.”
The Inquisitor pulled the jacket closed to make sure Dorian had left enough slack for him to be comfortable.�� “This is fine, Dorian, but this brooch… is it…?”
The mage cut him off, motioning for him to hand it over, “Yes.  I had it fashioned after the Pavus Birthright, my birthright, for you.  The craftsman completed it just in time for my return for the council.  I… was planning to give it to you before I left for Tevinter.”
Kartaelin’s eyes widened as he handed it back, “Dorian, are you…?”
“Proposing?” Dorian finished the other man’s thought.  “How astute of you.  Think of it as a promise.  A promise that I remain loyal to you, no matter how many miles lie between us.  A promise that we will be together again whenever it is safe to do so.  And a reminder that you are mine and I think about you daily.  It is not a ring, and it is not marriage, but it is what I can safely offer you right now.  I love you, Amatus.”  He reached over, tilting the elf’s chin up slightly and softly stroking the short, stiff hairs of his beard, before leaning in for a tender kiss.
Kartaelin reached for him, alighting his hand on the Tevinter’s upper arm, one of the few places he could have contact with him through the set of armor he wore.  He squeezed his triceps reassuringly while the kiss lingered.  When they’d come up for air, the elf breathed, “Ar lath ma, vhenan.”
Dorian smiled, “I know, Amatus.”  Sitting back, he opened the brooch and passed the pin through the fabric of the coat sleeve, hooking it into the closure and doing his best to straighten it.  When he was satisfied, he moved on to buttoning the jacket.  Kartaelin just watched the handsome mage work, admiring his beauty, grace and kindness, things he’d rarely encountered in a human before becoming a part of the Inquisition.  To be fair, even now, it was still a rarity.  Dorian reached for the sash and shook it out.  “Stand, please,” he ordered while getting up himself.  
The Inquisitor obeyed and lifted his arms to allow the mage to work.  A smile spread across his face, “Wait until Cassandra finds out.”
Without missing a beat Dorian countered, “What?  That you’ve enslaved a Tevinter magister to do everything for you, including change your small clothes?”
The elf burst out into a hearty laugh.  “She already knows that!” he exclaimed with a mischievous grin.  “No, about the promise, the brooch.  Varric had her all riled up before the council, telling her that you would propose to me today.  She was giddy, but concerned for me.  She won’t even be able to take it.”
“Ah,” the mage replied, tying off the sash and kneeling to help the Inquisitor with his boots.  He motioned for him to sit again, “She is a sweet girl beneath that rough and hardened exterior.  But perhaps you should wait until after the council to inform her.  She’ll want to gossip with you for hours and get all the juicy details.  By the time you’re done, there won’t be an Inquisition left to save.”
Kartaelin chuckled, “You’re right, it doesn’t have to be tonight.  I’ll inform her in the morning, it will give us something to gossip about over breakfast.”
Dorian shook his head as he moved to get up, “I swear, sometimes the two of you are like little school girls.  What am I going to do with you?”
“Indulge me,” the elf replied, getting up and leaning against his love’s chest.
“You know I do,” cooed the mage.  He gestured to the bed, “Glove.  It’s the last thing, then you need to get to the council, and I need to change.  Can you imagine?  Me, walking into the council in ancient elven armor?”
The Inquisitor grinned, moving to pick up the glove and handing it to Dorian, “It suits you, being that you are ‘slave’ to an elf.”
Dorian groaned while sliding the glove onto Kartaelin’s hand, “You really are too much sometimes.  Now go, get this over with so we can indulge a little.”
“Don’t forget, it was you who suggested it,” the elf replied with a wink.  He turned and started for the door, Dorian following behind.
“Yes, yes, blame it on the mage,” the Tevinter sassed, knowing full well it was his comments that got him that remark.

DBS COLORING BOOK CHAPTER 73 REVIEW
Alright... let's do this.
The first 4 pages are good. Good flow, not too many pages, no dialogue (thank God). Page 5 is where the paneling gets unnecessary. The last 2 panels aren't needed.
Page 6 is absolutely stupid. Goku & Granolah are flying at extremely high speeds, Goku is firing ki blasts that are moving at a higher velocity than he is currently moving, Granolah moves even faster in order to dodge Goku's ki blasts, then Granolah is using his scarf that is wrapped around a tree to swing around the tree & get behind Goku... A SCARF.
Tumblr media
The scarf would tear apart instantly if Granolah tried to use it to catapult/swing himself around faster than Goku can perceive.
YOU: "The scarf is probably really strong tho!"
Sure let's assume that. In that case, the tree would be uprooted from the velocity Granolah is moving. Either way, it doesn't make sense. If this was early Dragon Ball and Yamcha did something like this when fighting Goku, then yeah it would be reasonable and look cool. With the power these characters are at now, it just looks ridiculous and inconvenient. It doesn't work here. Granolah could've easily dodged on his own and much faster that wraping his scarf around the tree.
So Granolah swings around and kicks Goku through tons of trees. (Saiyans killed his ppl but Granolah is killing his planet. Ironic)
Hey look! Another stupid page 😒
Tumblr media
Page 7. Goku got sent flying back at a speed capable of easily cutting through tons of trees, but he slows himself down by grabbing a branch & swinging around it? Why? Again, at that speed, Goku would yank the limb of the tree clean off or uproot the entire tree. That wouldn't slow down his speed. He would be better off just stopping in the air on his own as if he applied the emergency breaks. Characters have done that plenty of times. Again, stuff like swinging around trees and tree branches is stuff they would had done in OG Dragon Ball.
Tumblr media
Why is Goku blocking like that?? He isn't reinforcing his arm, he's holding his wrist whole his forearm gets punched. That would damage his arm and/or wrist.
*Boom boom! Bam bam!* They hit each other some. But are you ready for this? Pages 11-12...!
Tumblr media
Why did Goku yell as if he is transforming? He is using Ultra Instinct, right? You don't yell to power that up. Remember the Moro arc? He calmly breathes to go into the state. Remember the chapter before? He calmly closes his eyes to focus. Why is he yelling then tapping into UI? Because Toyotaro can't write consistently. This page was...! just dumb...
Also... What is this SSB with Ultra Instinct then? You remember the SSB aura around UI Omen in the Moro arc? What's the difference between "Blue plus Ultra Instinct" & "Ultra Instinct plus Blue?"
Tumblr media
Granolah says he can read Goku's blood flow and cell movements. That should come in handy later when he could potentially find a weakeness in Goku using UI. Hopefully Goku doesn't tell him he can't stay in the form too long. 🤞
SSB with UI is more focused that lower forms in combination with UI. Goku should be nearly untouchable. Pages 13 - 14 show how well Goku can dodge. Looks like ballet in a way, like Goku us dancing around him. I like that. Then he uses a point blank Kamehameha. Looks cool. But it turns out that Granolah simultaneously hit Goku somehow. Not a complaint here.
Pointless panels of Oil being blown back by the force. Pointless panels of Vegeta not paying attention to the fight and looking around. Pointless 2 panels of smoke clearing away. The entire page doesn't add anything at all. Page 17 could be omitted & it would flow better.
Tumblr media
Goku is on the ground for the... 3rd time in this battle? I wish it would at least have Granolah say he didn't realize how difficult UI with SSB would be for him, but he barely saw an opening. That would be some sort of respect for Goku and did some clever foreshadowing. But we get Granolah insulting Goku instead. Whatever.
This "vital points" nonsense is so stupid. Everyone in DB has nearly identical vital points. Majin Vegeta knocked Trunks out by chopping at his vital point. These characters know what vital points are and know them well as we have seen when they were in combat since early DB. Granolah should be saying "My right eye will always find an opening." But maybe its a translation error or something. I won't be too harsh about this one.
Tumblr media
Wait wait wait. Lemme get this straight...
Whis trained Goku, then Goku is able to use UI in the ToP.
Merus trains Goku to use UI Omen at will.
Goku later masters UI with silver hair.
Whis points out new flaws that didn't exist then trains Goku even further.
Goku has been trained by 2 Angels to the point of being able to go into Mastered UI at will and recieved further training after mastering the Angelic power. How is it that Goku has the gull to say "No, Ultra Instinct should have no weaknesses. If anything's lacking, it's gotta be my training."
And he's telling Granolah that he is vulnerable for some reason...? He's just foreshadowing for the reader that he will lose. The last 4 or 5 panels of page 19 isn't needed.
Whatever. Let's move on. So on page 20, for some reason, Goku has a confused look & a question mark in his speech bubble after Granolah blames Saiyans for killing his ppl. Maybe Goku doesn't understamd why Granolah is repeating himself for the 3rd or 4th time? Or he wasn't listening the earlier times. Can't blame him. Granolah's speeches bored me too.
Granolah copies Moro & makes lava rise from the core of his beloved home planet in order ro hurt Goku. Poor Sugarians. I wonder if there will be a "You're becoming the bad guy now, Granolah." type of story. Dont really care though. Goku escapes by teleporting. He mentions how Granolah has Moro's move. I guess Granolah is supposed to be like Cell and have others techniques... like Moro before him... They are both altered copies of Cell who is much cooler than both of them combined...
Well, here they are making Vegeta look capable (somehow?). Also its interesting that the bloodthirsty Granolah is allowing Goku & Vegeta to chat about their discovery of who his ppl are. The the ex-detective Vegeta quickly figures out that Maki & Oil fooled them. That was rushed. "But Vegeta was suspicious of them before." Yes, but there was no reason or anything we heard that would make Vegeta suspicious. The writing is bad. Also it's convenient that Oil has a drone all of the sudden to eavesdrop. The last 4 panels of page 24 are pointless.
GOKU: "Hey let's talk to him and clear things up."
VEGETA: "Nah. He's probably too stubborn. Just fight to move the story along instead."
Goku says he hasn't used his full power yet & Vegeta is surprised. How does Vegeta not realize Goku hasn't used his full power, Mastred UI? Then Vegeta says "Tch... Gotta resort to that in the end, huh?" Toyotaro is having Vegeta downplay UI in order to hype up Vegeta's fight next chapter. Bad writing. There's better ways to hype Vegeta up. Toyo chose one of the worst ways to do so.
Granolah... Just standing and waiting for Goku to come back. What a patient revenge fueled man.
UI Goku through the fog looked cool. (And his wounds heal? Ok...) But, seeing that made me realize something else. It would be much cooler if it went from page 22 then skip to page 26!
We don't need Goku & Vegeta chatting. The reveal of UI would not have had a pace breaker. It just happens & you see that Goku is serious now. Show don't tell.
Tumblr media
GRANOLAH: "I can't perceive... any vital points?!"
That sounds stupid, so I do think it is a translation error.
GRANOLAH: "I can't perceive... any openings?!"
Now that reads much better! (I also edited the dialogue to "openings" in the pic above.)
Great... Goku conveniently exposed a weakness in UI that Whis had conveniently made up in CH 71. Although, in CH 59 Whis said that Mastered UI doesnt have the stamina issue that UI Omen has. Then in CH 64 it shows that the stamina issue is gone with Mastered UI during the 3 chapter battle with Moro. Goku never looked fatigued or weak in this form. Only time the form went away is when "planet" Moro drained Goku of his energy.
But now Goku & Whis say otherwise. How suddenly contradictory. Page 26 of this current chapter (CH 73) would be better if the last 2 panels were omitted.
Mastsred UI Goku easily takes down Moro- I mean Granolah. Also Goku tries to chat now after attacking Granolah. Should've said something before you start kicking ppl in the face. But this is shown to prove Vegeta is right about not being able to reason with Granolah. Even if it makes no sense.
Cool dodging & aikido type movement from Goku.
Goku using "the force" & stopping Granolah's movements was cool. Reminded me of Goku doing something similar to Broly in the DBS movie. Or more similarly, like Zamasu did in the manga.
Tumblr media
I guess Toyotaro is suggesting that the quick flurry of punches is a Master UI kind of move. (Although it originated in the anime when UI Omen Goku was punching back against Jiren & when he did so to block attacks from Jiren in EP 129.) I hope this move isn't over used that it ends up losing its flare.
Vegeta pretends to be upset that Goku defeated Granolah while in the previous chapter, Vegeta told Goku to fight first.
Somehow Vegeta is able to sense that there are 2 Granolahs. You can say because he has spirit control, but Goku has been through that kind of training with Roshi, Kami, & King Kai (possibly some with the Yardrats too which helped him control Super Saiyan at the level he could). And with Instant Transmission, Goku must be an expert in detecting ki. He can feel ki in different realms and locate ppl from far across the galaxy Goku should sense this too. All this writing is doing is trying to make Vegeta appear as the more capable fighter & get Vegeta fans hype for his next battle. That's all.
The switcheroo (I think I used that wrong) of a fake Granolah was a kinda clever idea. But Goku not knowing what "split" means is asinine.
Goku literally says "Split...? What's that mean?"
Goku has seen firsthand when Tien split into multiple Tiens, Goku knows the Yardrats can split themselves into many ppl, he saw merged Zamasu split himself, & he saw Moro split himself. Why is he written so stupid? I need answers Toyo.
Page 40....
Tumblr media
HOW IN THE HECK did Mastered UI get caught off guard?! Ain't it supposed to automatically grow sturdier as necessary?! Boy oh boy, this writing... A positive is that the punch looks like the 1 inch punch Goku did to Golden Freeza (inspired by the legendary Bruce Lee).
So if actual Granolah is twice as strong and can one shots UI Goku... Vegeta doesn't stand a chance. But the bad writing will make a way for Vegeta to look somewhat capable.
Granolah says UI becomes less sharp over time. Only problem is that Goku fought longer against Moro. This fight of UI Goku should have been longer. If the fight was longer when in the UI "transformation" then I would be more generous about Granolah finding an opening. Speaking of openings, Granolah says "opening" instead of "vital point." Must be a translation error.
Goku is in a near death-like state and Vegeta is like
VEGETA: "Leave that fool alone. Fight me instead."
Vegeta threatening Granolah is either stupid or smart. Smart = Vegeta provoking Granolah to get an advantage mentally. Dumb = Vegeta reverting to his Cell saga overconfidence that Toyo always does.
IN CONCLUSION:
STILL NO IMAGE OF FREEZA... I guess he isnt that important to the story after all. And this storytelling is so bad because Toyo can't stay consistent at all, he doesn't understand the characters, & he can't come up with anything besides "this form also drains stamina." You can say he & Toriyama write this together but I doubt it. Toriyama corrects his art & just gives the story a pass.
Recently it seems that Toriyama is more interested in the DBS movies being produced. Toriyama just writes an outline, Toyotaro & Toei write their versions of the story around that, Toriyama corrects Toyotaro's art & Toriyama also corrects or adds to what Toei thinks up. Example being when Toei created Kale & Toriyama created Caulifla in response.
I'm not excited for the next chapter. I don't care what Vegeta does. How is Vegeta going to win against someone who one shotted Goku in UI. Either the writing will be kinda smart or just plain stupid. I'm expecting stupid.
Idk if I'll review the next chapters. The bad writing was too much for me. I wrote this review last month right 1 day after the chapter came out, but I didnt want to read the manga again to get the images I need for this review. So I put it off for almost 1 month.
I wanna take a break from this bad manga...

Sweat
Chapter 3
We’re going to be honest here, this chapter is pure Goku smut. We started writing and it just sort of happened.
The following morning came too fast. You awoke with one of Goku's arms and a leg draped over you. He was like a furnace but the house was just chilly enough to make it comfortable.
"Kakarot! Where the hell are you?" Vegeta called from the front door.
You pushed Goku's arm away and jolted up in bed.
"Shit,” you muttered as you got dressed quickly.
Goku woke up slowly and stared at you for a moment, blinking until his eyes adjusted.
"Get up, Vegeta's here. He can't know about this." You scrambled around the room to grab the rest of your clothes.
Goku yawned and sat up, stretching his muscles, "he's probably here to train."
"A little more urgency please?" You rushed to get dressed and threw his clothes at him.
"It's not a big deal. It was just like training." Goku continued to move at a slow pace.
"I still don't want him to know about it. Now get dressed," you said in a harsh whisper. He moved a little faster but it was still slow enough to stress you out.
"Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted again.
"Just go and get him out of here." You shoved Goku towards the door.
"But my shirt-"
You ignored him and continued pushing him towards the door.
Once he was out of the room, you quietly closed the door and listened for any indication that Vegeta was suspicious.
"What the hell took so long, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, sounding just as disgruntled as usual.
"I was trying to find my clothes." He scratched the back of his head and chuckled.
"It took you that long and you're still not fully dressed?" Vegeta sounded more annoyed than usual but it might’ve just been your paranoia making you think that.
"I couldn't remember where I left them," Goku replied, leaving more unanswered questions.
"How do you function, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, deciding against anymore questions about what he was doing. With Goku that could end up more frustrating than it was worth.
Goku shrugged, "I don't know, I just do."
You were still scrambling to get dressed and tripped over your own shoes, hitting the floor hard.
"What was that?" Vegeta glanced down the hallway.
"Nothing, you ready to train?" Goku stepped in front of him.
"Is there someone-"
Goku knew you didn't want Vegeta knowing about your arrangement so he did the only thing he thought might distract him. "I was thinking about training with Yamcha, he said he thinks he can beat both of us now."
"He what?! That puny excuse for a human?! Ridiculous. I'll show him how wrong he is." Vegeta took off in an instant.
Goku felt a little bad for turning Vegeta loose on Yamcha, but he had to protect you in any way he could.
He walked back to his bedroom and pushed the door open.
"You realize he'll kill Yamcha, right?" You asked, arms crossed as you regarded him.
"Why are you dressed? I wanted more," he replied with a sad face, completely disregarding your legitimate worry about Vegeta and Yamcha.
"You want to fuck when Vegeta almost caught us just now? And you're not even worried about Yamcha?" You furrowed your brow.
"Vegeta won't be back for a while and if Yamcha dies then we'll just wish him back with the dragon balls." Goku's gaze roamed up and down your body hungrily. He had a point, Yamcha's death wouldn't be permanent.
Goku closed the gap between you and immediately moved his hands up your shirt.
"Wait, what the fuck, Goku? We're just shrugging off the possible death of a friend so we can fuck for like the 10th time since yesterday?"
"It's not like we're the ones killing him." He shrugged, his hands skimming up the sides of your breasts.
"Fair point, but still, it doesn't seem right." You moaned slightly when he cupped your breasts, large hands completely engulfing them in warmth.
He pinched and tugged at your nipples, pulling you back in with very little effort. There was no denying it felt great to unleash all of your pent up sexual frustration. And Goku had an endless supply of stamina so it worked in your favor.
"Fuck me," you whispered, ready to get lost in him again.
He had your shirt and pants stripped off of you in no time. He pulled you into a deep kiss, his tongue slipping past your lips as he tasted you again. You leaned into him, wrapping your arms around his neck.
He walked you back towards the wall and lifted you into his arms, wrapping your legs around his waist.
"Can you transform again?" You asked, reaching down between you to grip his cock beneath his low hanging sweats.
"Which form?" He asked breathlessly between kisses.
"I want to say all of them, but that might kill me this time." You grinned and nipped at his lip.
"Which is your favorite then?"
"Instinct?" You bit your bottom lip and hoped he would be okay with it.
"That one's not too much?" He asked, brow raised with worry.
"It's intense but that's what I want. You're somehow even better when you let your instincts take over."
Goku pulled you into another kiss as he lined his cock up and eased into you.
"Wait, does that mean I'm good at fucking you?" He asked with a slight smirk.
"You heard how much you made me scream last night. I wasn't faking." You grinned and clenched around his cock.
"I must be really good then," he groaned, pausing when he was seated deep inside of you.
"Am I good at fucking you?"
"You make it really hard not to come quick." He remained still.
"That's somehow really sweet and kind of hot."
"You ready?" He asked as he prepared to increase his power level.
"Fucking do it." You nodded your head eagerly.
His hair changed from black to silver in an instant. You felt his body changing and increasing in size against you, including his cock. Unlike the night before, he didn't go through each transformation. From his base form right into instinct was a big difference. It felt like his power was surging through your body as the air crackled around you.
"Can we just stay here today?" You asked, breathless before he even started moving within you.
"You want to stay like this all day?" He asked with a playful smirk. He eased out of you slowly and slammed back in so hard your breath was pushed from your lungs.
"All fucking day," you moaned when you caught your breath.
"No plans?" He grunted, slamming into you even harder.
"Not a fucking thing." Meeting with Kyla was the furthest thing from your mind. It was impossible to even remember she existed with Goku fucking you so hard the wall sounded like it was seconds from crumbling.
"What about training?" He thrust into you harder.
"Tell him you're sick." You clung to him, digging your nails into his muscular shoulders.
"Are you sure?" He began a steady pace, slamming into you hard and fast.
"Fuck... yes... " you nearly shouted when his cock hit perfectly within you.
He panted against your neck, his hips snapping against yours with almost brutal force. You clenched around his cock but he continued to drive into you. It was almost addicting with the way his cock hit that perfect spot within you, making you scream his name.
"Come for me," he grunted next to your ear. Your body responded instantly, trembling as you came hard. Your legs tightened around his waist and you held him close as you rode out wave after wave of your release, each more overwhelming than the last.
"God... damn... how do you feel so fucking good?" You panted.
"It's the form." He grunted as he continued to slam into you, feeling you tighten around him so perfectly.
You held onto him as you felt another orgasm building, barely giving you time to recover.
"Just the form?" You managed to ask before your body began to shake again. You thought it was difficult to make you come because it always took so long for other people to do it, but Goku was proving you and them wrong.
He fucked you through your orgasm and didn't let up, thrusting into you repeatedly like a machine. His endless supply of stamina was the gift that kept on giving.
"Gonna... come..." he panted against your neck, his lips brushing over your skin.
"Do it. Please, don't pull out,” you begged, clenching around him to push him closer to the edge.
Without another word, he let go, coming deep inside of you while he held you tight and buried his face in your neck.
"Fuck," you whispered, feeling the warmth of his cum fill you. He backed up towards the bed and collapsed, bringing you down to rest on top of him with his cock still seated deep within you.
His cock twitched inside of you as he finished coming, his breathing erratic and body glistening with sweat. You collapsed on his chest, fighting to catch your own breath.
"Your dick is magic,” you finally spoke.
He reverted back to base form and that trademark goofy grin lit up his face. "I guess it is, you screamed even louder than last night."
"And you came faster this time," you said with a playful smirk.
"I told you, you make it hard not to." He placed his arms behind his head.
"We keep this up and I won't have a voice left." You shifted on top of him.
"Didn't you say we should stay here all day?"
"Yeah and after that I don't have much of a choice. I'm too weak to stand," you laughed and clenched around his cock.
He groaned and slid his hands down over your ass, "are you too weak to ride me?" He asked with innocence only he could pull off.
"I'm not sure, I can try," you replied, sitting up to rest your hands on his muscular chest. He squeezed your ass and pulled you forward to let his cock drag against the walls of your pussy.
As you lifted up a little you could feel his cum drip out of you. He was already instantly hard inside of you.
"Which form this time?" He asked.
"Your choice." You stopped moving when only the tip of his cock remained inside of you. His cum dripped out and down his length while he decided.
His hair turned blue and his hands moved up your body to cup your breasts.
His thumbs flicked over your nipples, making them harden instantly as you sunk back down onto him.
"Blue... perfect." You felt his entire body change beneath you as you rolled your hips.
Just when you were finding your rhythm, your phone vibrated on the bedside table. You sighed and stretched as far as your body would go to grab it. A couple of messages from Vegeta waited. His texts never failed to make you laugh because he wrote them exactly how he spoke in person and you could hear his voice perfectly in your head as you read them.
Vegeta: Where the hell are you, woman? Kakarot is being an idiot and now you're not answering me.
"Someone important?" Goku thrust up into you, pulling your attention back to his cock buried inside of you.
"Just Vegeta. He's asking where- oh shit, I completely fucking forgot!"
"Forgot what?" Goku asked, tilting his head as he looked up at you.
"I told Vegeta I'd meet up with Kyla today. He wants me to see if I can find other things to occupy her time besides him." Saying it out loud made you dread it even more. Having Goku's cock throbbing within you didn't help. Telling Vegeta something came up sounded like a much better option until you considered how that might disappoint him.
"Do you have to go?" He asked with his signature pout.
You shifted and felt his cock pulse again, his cum sticking between your thighs.
"I don't want to but what am I supposed to say?" You asked, still making no move to get up.
"Tell him you're sick," he suggested, just as you had done to convince him to stay.
"Both of us being sick?" You cocked your head to the side.
"We got it from each other. Just too sick to move," he thrust up into you, "or talk... or even stand."
You considered it for a moment. Staying in bed with Goku all day sounded much better than dealing with Kyla and her inevitable attitude towards you. But lying to Vegeta? That would feel bad.
"You're not making this easy," you whined when he thrust into you again.
"Stay. We can order takeout like we usually do when we hang out," he offered with a big smile that was hard to say no to.
"Except this time I'll have your cock shoved in my mouth instead of an egg roll?" You smirked.
"Oh, can't you do both?" He asked with full seriousness.
"Have you seen my mouth? And your dick? I can barely fit one in my mouth."
"What if you put my cock in your mouth between bites of egg roll?" He replied, still completely serious with his response.
"Goku, are you suggesting we fuck while we eat?" You asked, eyebrows raised.
You heard his stomach growl and you couldn't help but laugh, which caused you to tighten your muscles around his cock.
"Can we?" He asked with excitement.
"Fine," you relented, shaking your head while you laughed.
"Why didn't we start fucking a long time ago?" He asked, nearly vibrating with excitement about mixing sex with food time.
"Because sex can ruin friendships."
"How? This seems like a perk of being friends." He held your hips and pulled you down onto him.
"Not everyone is as chill or understanding as you. Feelings can happen and then it's hard to go back to being just friends," you explained, bringing your phone up to type out a quick reply to Vegeta.
I'm really sick, would you be too upset if I just stay home today?
"Do you think Vegeta would do this with you?" He caught you off guard and you immediately blushed.
"I highly doubt it." You shook your head.
"But you'd want him to?"
"Yeah but that doesn't matter if he doesn't feel the same." It was odd talking about the guy you have feelings for while another guy's cock was inside of you. But Goku was no ordinary guy. Many times you wished you could be as carefree and relaxed as him.
"I think he wants to do this with you."
"What makes you think that?" You were curious if he knew something you didn't.
"I don't know. I can just tell." He shrugged.
"How though?"
"He looks at you a lot.”
That left even more questions to build up in your head. How did he look at you? How often? What part of you did he focus on?
"Is that it? Because looking can mean a lot of things." You were trying not to sound desperate for more details, but it wasn't like Goku to bring something like that up. If he noticed it, maybe there really was something behind it.
"He talks about you. Like a lot."
"Does he say anything specific?" You pushed for more.
"Just that he doesn't understand why you haven't found a mate yet. He says saiyans would have fought over you."
"I doubt that," you said with a faraway look in your eye. Goku wouldn't lie to you but it also felt too good to be true.
"Why? From everything Vegeta has told me about our race, you're the kind of woman they like."
"One who can eat her weight in fried rice?" You smiled.
"Maybe, but also someone strong and not easily overpowered."
Before you could reply, your phone vibrated in your hand with a new message from Vegeta.
I'm at your house and you're not here, woman. Where are you?
"Oh fuck... "
"What?" Goku asked.
"Vegeta is at my house. He wants to know where I am." You stared at your phone, unsure of how to respond to him. You couldn't exactly say you were riding Goku's dick.
"Tell him you went out for medicine?" He suggested. His hands moved up your thighs to settle at your hips, clearly ready to get back to the fucking.
I went out to get medicine before I head to Goku's. He told me he's sick too.
"Okay, there. Now, let me ride you into your next form." You circled your hips, feeling his cock hit deep within you.
Goku snapped his hips up to meet you as you moved. Your phone buzzed again and you were tempted to ignore it, but you couldn’t.
Good, I'll meet you there.
"Fuck. He's on his way here."
"Guess we need to come quickly then." He sat up and pulled you against his chest, letting you continue to ride him while he held you closer.
"Goddammit, Vegeta," you panted, picking up the pace.
His hands moved around to your back and down to your ass. "When do I get to fuck this hole?"
"Fuck... now all I'll be able to think about while he's here is you shoving your cock in my ass. Thanks, Goku," you chided.
"We should make him leave sooner then." Goku fucked you harder as you wrapped yourself around him.
"I need to feel your cum dripping out of all of my holes,” you begged, already close.
"I can do that, might need food first though," he grunted before flipping you over to your back to fuck you even harder.
"Instinct, Goku... Instinct!” You shouted. In a split second his hair turned silver and he thrust into you so hard it took your breath away.
"Fuck," you cried out, scraping your nails down his back.
"Come for me. Quick. I can sense his energy getting closer." Goku ordered as he fucked you relentlessly.
You pulled him down and bit into his shoulder to stay quiet as you came. He grunted loudly next to your ear and you felt his teeth dig into your neck as his cum filled you once more.
Both of you panted and moaned through muffled mouths as you bit down on each other's skin. You came so hard that your body trembled as he held you close.
"Fuck me. You might actually kill me." You tried to control your breathing.
He reverted to his base form and smiled, "I'll just wish you back."
"Only if you promise to keep fucking me after you bring me back." You grinned, chest heaving and burning from how hard you were panting.
"I will." He pulled out of you and climbed off the bed to gather the clothes you both tossed off in a frenzy.
He handed you your clothing and you both got dressed quickly. The only thing on your mind was getting to fuck him again. You swore it was turning into an addiction and you wondered if it would be easy to break.
"How do I look?" You asked once you were fully dressed.
"Like you've been having sex all morning." He grinned.
"So, exhausted and sweaty, perfect for making him think I'm really sick," you said, passing by him to make your way to the living room.
"I'm starving," Goku said through a yawn. He sat down next to you on the couch and leaned back to get comfortable.
You jolted forward, panic rising in your chest again. "Fuck! Vegeta thinks I went to pick up medicine, how the fuck am I going to explain why there's not any?"
"We took it all." Goku suggested simply.
"Nothing ever bothers you, does it?" You were amazed at how chill he was.
"He'll either find out or he won't. Nothing to really worry about."
"But if he is interested in me like you said and he finds out, don't you think he'll be upset?" You asked. It was impossible not to look at every way the situation could implode.
Goku scratched the back of his head. "I don't see why he would be, it's not like he claimed you yet."
"And you haven't... you know, claimed me, have you?" You had zero clue about saiyan traditions.
"No. At least I don't think so. Do you want me to?"
"I... no? I mean, you're 100% husband material but we've always just been friends and this thing with Vegeta doesn't seem to be going away. Do you want to claim me?" You asked, curious what was going through that adorable head of his.
He shrugged in normal Goku fashion, "I do like fucking you, but like you said, we're just friends and I wouldn't want to mess that up."
Even though you were only friends with Vegeta, sleeping with Goku felt like a betrayal. Add the lying on top of that and you couldn't shake the icky feeling building in the pit of your stomach while you waited for him to show up.
"It's okay we're doing this, right?"
"I think so. Do you not want to?" He looked almost destroyed at the thought that you wanted to stop.
You didn't want to end it, the sex was phenomenal, but the guilt still sat in your chest like a anvil.
"No, I want to, I just... feel a little guilty, I guess?" You were aware of how ridiculous it sounded when you said it out loud but it didn't stop the feeling from weighing you down.
"Feel guilty about what?"
You jumped at the deep voice behind you and turned to see Vegeta standing there, arms crossed while he waited for an answer.

My Top 5 Games of 2020
As we are about to move on to 2021, thank gawd, there are many things to reflect on, but my content is escapism, so I’m not about to get all deep in that right now. Instead let’s talk about the thing that probably helped millions of people survive 2020, video games! Here are my Top 5, and oh boy, I wouldn’t be surprised if I got some hate for this. Minor rules for this, no remasters, definitive editions, ports to other systems or anything of that sort will be on this list, because they deserve their own lists. whether or not I write them. No PS5 games will be here, and I mean anything that’s on PS5, because I didn’t get one, and I didn’t play anything that’s on PS5 either, even if it had a PS4 version, so I can’t count those on this list, because that would be cheating. Oh and, if you’re wondering why it’s only a top 5, it’s because I spent more time playing older games and growing my games collection this year, than actually playing new games. So, yeah let’s get into it. 
5. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
I am honestly shocked this is here, but whatever reason, I love this game. Everything from the visual style, to the combat, to even exploring the semi-open world is great. One thing that really shocked me about this game, was the sidequests. Not all of them were great, and of course there were fetch quests all over the place in this game, but the ones I really enjoyed, were the quests where they went into the characters depths of the characters from the anime, by having quests themed around things they would do. Even if they were sometimes joke storylines like Yamcha getting into trouble with girls because that’s something he would do. I even liked the car driving quests, even if I think the stats were maxed out a little too easily. The main story is of course, pretty typical because it’s one we’ve seen a thousand times before, but even then, if it’s a story you like, it can be enjoyed because it’s more in depth there than any games in the series has been in the past. DBZ Kakarot does everything with the story that the Legacy of Goku games did back on the Gameboy Advance, but for the modern era, and I loved every second of it. 
4. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. 
Another shocker for me personally, because I’m not the biggest fan of...Breath of the Wild (not what you were expecting to hear was it?) but I really liked Age of Calamity. One thing that can often feel daunting in Warriors games, is the branching paths system that some of them use, and also, surprisingly, how much levels can matter in them. In Age of Calamity, the branching paths were not there, at least not in the typical sense, avoiding that problem for me, and if levels do matter, they managed to avoid that one by having several smaller missions for characters to do that were great for leveling them up without you having to spend all your rupees to catch them up, which also meant not having to spend as much time grinding for money as some warriors games have you do. The story of Age of Calamity is also fantastic, doing a much better job of making players care about the champions, and their closet friends and allies than Breath of the Wild did. Zelda isn’t always that focused on story in it’s games, despite having some good ones in the past, but Age of Calamity, really did a good job of it, and is probably the first game in the series to make me actually get emotional. It’s an impressive feat through and through, and it makes the warriors format work for it, by having everything take place during a war. It’s a complete package of a game, that is a thrilling and unique experience, never really seen in a warriors type game. 
3. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV. 
If you know me, you might be shocked to hear that this game is only number three for me, but it is. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not fantastic! The culmination of over a decade of games, met an amazing conclusion in this final instalment of the Cold Steel arc. I know this game has it’s detractors, but I don’t see why. The story is fantastic, the character moments are numerous yet not overwhelming or pushy, as they just make sense within the story itself. The combat is as good as always, and despite the change in VA’s for the English release, the acting is as good as it’s always been. To finally see a story come to a conclusion that is built up so well, that has spent so much time making sure it gets everything as right as it possibly can, is a reward all it’s own, and there’s something to be said about finally seeing some characters get what’s coming to them, after years of feeling like it was so close, but never happened. Characters like Juna, Kurt, Rean, Lloyd, Estelle, and so many others, working together was a fantastic sight, and if you’re wondering why I’m focusing in on characters so much, it’s because they are what make The Legend of Heroes what it is, and they are the reason this series is so engaging. I loved every minute of this experience, and the only reason it’s not number one, is because somehow, two games came out this year, that shocked me to my core. Make no mistake though, any of these top three games could have ended up as number one. 
2. The Last of Us Part II
And here is where the controversy really starts. The Last of Us Part II needs no defense, because those that have an issue with it, seemingly either didn’t finish the game, or were spoiled on it, and couldn’t look past what they heard, instead of what they could have felt playing it. The Last of Us Part II is a masterpiece. It tells a special kind of story that really only works in the world it exists in, it has some of the best written characters ever, new or old, it has some of the most wonderful levels ever created in gaming, and unlike the first game, is truly a horror experience. I wouldn’t by any means say it’s better than the original, I think that would be foolish to say, but it stands as one of the greats not only in this generation, but in gaming in general. The deaths in the game are done in a way that makes sense, that adds to the plot in a way that helps you feel the sense of loss that the characters feel. Yes, there is one death in it that will forever leave many people upset, but how it’s explained, how it makes sense that it happens, is nothing short of amazing. The Last of Us Part II, is nothing short of amazing, and I loved every second of it. I do wish that Naughty Dog had managed the game better, and it’s going to be hard to enjoy anything from them in the future if they don’t, but I can’t deny, that the game that actually had me sobbing through the credits, isn’t one of the best games ever made, because it is, and I feel sorry for anyone who didn’t understand that. 
1. Ghost of Tsushima. 
I. Loved. This. Game. It may not have the best story of any game on this list, in fact, I think the ending actually takes away from the real life event that it’s based on, but everything else about it is as close to perfect as you can get. The beautiful world, the fact that you can really tell that culture was priority number one when building the world this game has, just sets it apart from everything else. The fact that the combat is the most engaging combat of this year, is almost just a plus, because everything else was just so perfect. Ghost of Tsushima is a reminder that sometimes, gaming can really surpass just being a form of entertainment, but also a fun way to learn about culture. The beautiful world of Tsushima, is something that cannot be properly explained, but that has to be experienced. The fact that I played the game, and at times only felt like I was playing a game, instead of living in a world different from my own, when certain missions would come up that reminded me of that fact, the engagement was just that intense. I was absorbed into the world that Sucker Punch created, and I enjoyed every last second of it. The characters that were there, the deaths that happened, everything that was experienced in Ghost of Tsushima was to me, absolutely perfect, and for that, it wins my top spot, as my personal game of the year. I said earlier that any of the top three could change places, but honestly, that isn’t really true. Nothing comes close to GoT, and who knows when something ever will again. 
And that’s my list, did I leave out any of your favorites? Let me know in the comments below, try not to hate me too much for leaving out Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and leave me a note with your opinions. Have a fantastic day.

My Hope for a Live-action Dragon Ball Franchise
10 years ago, on the 10th of April, the Dragon Ball fandom was cursed with the abomination of Dragonball: Evolution.
Tumblr media
Yeah, I hate to bring back painful memories too. Aside from just being a god awful movie, it’s a god awful adaptation of one of the most influential Shonen manga of all time. Nothing from the original series carried over into this thing aside from the Dragon Balls, and even then they fucked it up!
But........ we have had great success with Dragon Ball since then, including 2 fantastic movies, another sequel anime in the form of Dragon Ball Super and arguably their best move, Dragon Ball Super: Broly!

(Seriously if you haven’t seen this movie yet, do it!)
But now that 10 years have passed and with anime becoming more mainstream than ever, I think it’s time that we gave Dragon Ball in live action another try.
Now I know what you’re all thinking:
“There is absolutely no way in hell a live action Dragon Ball movie can work.”
Honestly, I don’t blame you guys for thinking like that. DBE has really tainted, not only Dragon Ball, but live action adaptations for anime in general. Every time a new one is made, everyone refers back to DBE as the leading example of how it can, and does fail. Not only that, but many people think that doing a live action Dragon Ball would be impossible, given how crazy the series is.
I disagree with that notion. While it wouldn’t be an easy feat to accomplish, I don’t think it’s truly impossible. I believe a live action Dragon Ball movie CAN be made, if they do some of the following:
1. Get a director with proven talent who can also capture the spirit of the source material
This one is essential as hell and I have some directors in mind who would be very good choices for a project like this.
1. James Gunn
Tumblr media
James Gunn did the impossible when he directed Guardians of the Galaxy. Not many people outside the comics community has even heard of the team and they went from Z-list characters to top tier characters and one of Marvel’s most popular teams. Not only that, but he also has a knack for striking a perfect balance between serious and comedic, which is perfect for Dragon Ball. Speaking of comedy, his strange sense of humour is very similar to Toriyama’s, along with capturing the weird and wacky world of aliens, space magic and epic battles. James Gunn would be my top choice for a live action Dragon Ball film.
2. Taika Waititi
Tumblr media
Thor: Raganarok was a huge hit, not just for the MCU as a whole, but for the Thor series. It gave the character and his world new life and it’s honestly the closest thing I’ve seen to a live Dragon Ball Z. Every staple of DBZ exists in this movie; strange worlds, epic fights, crude and absurd humour, crazy-ass powers and transformations. Seriously, it’s like Taikia Waititi was tailor made to direct Dragon Ball.
3. David F. Sandberg
Tumblr media
David F Sandberg’s work on Shazam was nothing short of fantastic! A seriously heartfelt movie, it managed to portray the character seamlessly from the comics and is one of my favourite comic book movies of all time. With some funny moments and some really dark, twisted scenes, I’m sure David can bring something truly amazing to the table if he was in charge of directing Dragon Ball.
2. Do NOT adapt Dragon Ball Z first.
Tumblr media
Dragon Ball Z may be one the most popular and iconic anime of all time, but it was the second part of an overall larger story. The first part started with Dragon Ball.
Tumblr media
This is the series true beginning and to skip out on it would be a huge disservice. Everything that makes the franchise so beloved was built off of this and it deserves to be represented more. As for the storyline they should start with? Well they could either start with Emperor Pilaf arc or the Red Ribbon arc. I know this may might sound hypocritical given that DBE was not at all faithful to the source material, but there are some liberties that do need to be taken here. That’s just the nature of adaptations. All that said, though, if most of the source material is adapted well in the film, I wouldn’t mind a few liberties taken here and there, provided they’re done RIGHT and with RESPECT!
3. Get a good mix of unknown actors and actors with proven talent
For something like Dragon Ball, I believe the route of unknown actors is the right way to go and when it comes to casting the characters, I’d recommend that primarily Asian actors are used. The world of Dragon Ball is very diverse, filled to the brim with different kinds of species and creatures, but it also has heavy roots in Asian Mythology. For me, here’s how I would see the casting pan out:
Saiyans- Primarily Asian actors.
Humans- Mix of different actors. Characters like Roshi, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin and ChiChi would need to be Asian, while Bulma, 17 and 18 can be cast as anyone.
Aliens and other strange species- Mix of different actors. You can get anyone for these roles.
4. Get the right studio
With a project like Dragon Ball, you would expect a lot of money to be involved here. For me, I have the perfect studio in mind for this:
Tumblr media
Before anyone yells at me, let me make it clear that I understand everyone’s grievances with Disney, especially recently.
Regardless, they have had successful hits at he box office and have made some of the best film franchises of the modern day. Their success with the MCU is pretty much why I chose them in the first place. They accomplished a very difficult task of an overarching story spanning 23 movies and revitalising comic book movies. If they can replicate that with Dragon Ball, I think we’d have, not just a good live action Dragon Ball movie, but a truly great film franchise!
Though that’s just wishful thinking. 😅
Thus concludes my reasons for wanting another live action Dragon Ball film. What do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree? Do you think it’s impossible and I’m just wishing or do you think it can happen? What are your ideas for a live action Dragon Ball and which studio do you think should take it if Disney isn’t the right choice? Let me know by commenting and reblogging.
Have a good night guys! ✌️

Krillin for the character ask :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Give me a character and I will answer:
Why I like them: It’d be easy for me to say “he’s just a good dude” and leave it at that.   I think people would agree with that statement, but I think it runs deeper than that.   The thing that stuck with me about Krillin was when I was checking out the bonus features on the Movie 6 DVD I bought in 2002 or whenever, and they had an interview with Sonny Strait where he explained that Krillin only got into martial arts to impress girls, and that was the same reason Sonny got into voice acting.    Maybe I’m misremembering that, but it always stuck with me.   
Krillin wants things out of life, and unlike a lot of the other characters, he’s not looking to get them by wishing on a magic dragon.   He wants to become worthy of the things he wants, and he may not always be sure of how to get there, he knows that he has to become more than he is.  
Recently, I’ve been seeing excerpts from Barack Obama’s book, where he talks about reading up on subjects to try, unsuccessfully, to get girls to like him in college.    I think the idea was that he was trying to be self-effacing, but it hasn’t gone over very well.  I’m not sure if the problem was that he wasn’t being self-effacing enough, or if there’s something more sinister about reading Karl Marx just in case it helps your odds of getting noticed.    I’m not going to wade into that controversy, except to say that it reminded me of Krillin.  
Is it shallow to have self-serving reasons to improve yourself?   Did I just answer my own question?   The point I’m making here is that it’s a useful motivator.    Krillin has self-esteem issues, and he joined the Orin Temple and then Kame House to try to overcome them.   He thought “If I just get really good at this one thing, then people will like me.”   And we can say “Oh, no, it doesn’t work that way, Krillin, people like you because you’re a such a good person, and besides, it doesn’t matter how good you are at martial arts.”  
Okay, fine, let’s assume that’s true, and Krillin deceived himself by training in martial arts.    Oh no!   He put in all that work, and all he got out of it was... being the strongest human on Earth.   Shoot.    He made himself a better person for nothing.
The reality is that I don’t think he would be as well-liked if he hadn’t gone down this road, simply because people wouldn’t have gotten to know him.   That’s really what it’s about.   It’s easy to say that you’re liked for “who you are on the inside”, but what people really want is to be noticed long enough to be liked for who they are.    And sometimes you gotta take a long look at yourself and say “I need to do something to grab people’s attention.”
And sometimes, in order to motivate yourself into that kind of work, you have to play that trick on yourself.    “Just think, if I put in those extra reps in the gym, the ladies’ll be all over me!”   And it never actually happens, but it gets you through that workout, and the next, and the next, and the next.  
I think we can all relate to that.   I’m writing this because three people asked me to, and I’m sort of hoping a few more will see it and like what I wrote.   I try to get better, because I like the rush of validation that comes with it.   And if I don’t get it, well, boo-hoo, I wrote a few hundred words about Krillin, a subject I enjoy writing about.   It’s a no-lose situation, and there’s some non-zero chance that attractive single women might see this and decide to slide into my DMs.    It’s a tiny chance, hardly worth mentioning, but it’s a lot higher than if I just sit in my apartment and stare at the wall.   
Why I don’t: Ocean Dub Krillin really rubbed me the wrong way, because they wrote and voice directed the character to be really nebbishy.   That wouldn’t necessarily make him a bad character, but it definitely conflicted with what you see on the screen, where he’s stepping to Nappa, Vegeta, Dodoria, and everything else he has to deal with.    Once Sonny got the role, everything turned out cool.  Mondo cool, if you will.
I suppose I should point out the flip side of what I wrote above.  Krillin’s so focused on being worthy that he fails to recognize his achievements.   That’s admirable in its way, but it also makes you worry about the guy.    Like, he knows 18 is crazy about him, right?   Wait, does Obama know people like him?   Do I?  Oh I might have made myself sad there for a minute, excuse me.
Favorite episode (scene if movie):
Tumblr media
Probably the moment he tries to take on Super Buu all by himself.   One of the cool things about Krillin is that he’s taken on every major villain from Piccolo Junior to Buu, despite being outclassed.    I think the Super Buu thing is the best one, though, because in that situation there’s literally no chance of anyone jumping in to save him.    His entire plan is to hold off Buu for a few seconds and maybe buy a few minutes for the others. He’s doomed and he knows it won’t even work as a diversion, but he still jumps in anyway.    It proves that this is who he is.    When there’s literally no one left to impress, and nothing left to gain, he’ll still play things out the same way.  
Favorite season/movie: The Androids/Cell Saga is probably his best material overall, just because of his conflicted feelings regarding 18, and the difficult choices he makes because of that.   You can make a strong case for the Namek Saga, where it’s literally just Krillin and Bulma and Gohan, so he has to take the lead by default, but I’m just not that into the Namek Saga.
Favorite line:
Tumblr media
This is really more from one of the video games.   I think Budokai 3, but I’m not sure.   Piccolo demands custody of Gohan and Krillin’s like “No way, you’re probably gonna eat him or something!” and I’m pretty sure this wasn’t in the Ocean Dub, so it completely caught me off-guard, like it was the last thing I expected Krillin to say.   And then Piccolo comes back with “I’m not going to eat him!”  like he’s offended at the very suggestion.   As a runner-up, I dig that part in DBZA 54, where Trunks and Vegeta are both reeling from their losses to Perfect Cell, and Krillin reminds them that they don’t have to posture around him, because it’s just him... “Krillin.    Everyone’s friend.”
Tumblr media
Favorite outfit: That’s easy.
Tumblr media
Yeah, the Frieza Soldier armor looked mighty good on this dude, and the cop uniform does too, and the classic Turtle Hermit outfit is a signature look, but this, right here, is the Krillin for me.    My man’s got the blue shirt under his orange shirt.    No more of the Yamcha slipppers.   Those look great on Yamcha, don’t get me wrong, but Krillin needs those big chunky Goku boots, because they’re perfect for stomping those pesky girlfriend-exploding remotes.   Fellas, this is the ideal male body.    You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.   
OTP: Maron HAHAHAHAHAHA oh wow.   No. It’s 18, obviously.
Brotp: Clearly Goku is his bro, but it’s not surprising at all how effortlessly he gets along with just about everyone else.   He’s bros with the entire world.
Tumblr media
Head Canon: I’m pretty sure the Maron/Marron thing was just a coincidence in real life.   Maron the girlfriend was a filler character, and Marron the daughter was introduced in the manga some time later, and both used the same naming convention to end up in the same place.   However, I choose to believe that Krillin actually named his kid after his ex, and he somehow convinced 18 to go along with that idea.   
By that, I don’t mean he had to sweet talk her into it or promise a bunch of stuff in exchange.    I mean he must have discussed what to name their kid, and 18 was like “Your ex-girlfriend?   Seriously?” and he was like “Yeah, I know she’s a ditz, but you gotta understand I was in a really low place and she helped me through it.”   Or something like that, where once he lays out the whole reason 18′s like “Yeah, you know what?   Okay.” 
Or maybe Maron helped deliver the baby or something.   Or she was the surrogate mother?   Holy shit I might be onto something.
Unpopular opinion: Krillin clanks when he walks, due to the solid brass balls he’s got.
youtube
A wish: They should do a movie where Krillin just fights Frieza and wins.   Decisively, undisputably, irrevocably.   Krillin is stronger than Frieza from that point forward.    I don’t care if that means nerfing Frieza or godmodding Krillin, but I just want it made plain that if they use Frieza from here on, it has to be with the understanding that Krillin can whip his ass at any time.  
That might sound silly, and I guess it is, but you see what this accomplishes, right?   It forces Frieza into a new character dynamic, so it’s not just the same old shit with him.    Or Toei collectively admits that they can’t use him anymore, which was what they should have decided in 1995.   I’m fine either way.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Don’t grow his hair back, okay? 
5 words to best describe them: Qualified to sell real estate.
My nickname for them: The Kriller.

I think Present Mic is supposed to resemble a cockatoo
My Hero Finefeather
The hair doesn't move though
Or... does it?
I didn't pay that much attention
DNGFQrow
That's because he's at 100% all the time. He never calms down enough for it to flatten out
GhastlyGhifin
Bakugo's Japanese voice is Nobuhiko Okamoto, who's apparently most famous as Accelerator from A Certain Magical Index, as well as Assassin of Shinjuku in Fate/Grand Order, Gladio from the Pokemon Sun & Moon anime, Shinjiro Nagita from Kill la Kill, and Swan from Lollipop Chainsaw.

Things we want for the upcoming Dragon Ball Super movie (2020) and future episodes!
While we are airing some English Dub version on a Adult Swim, there is a fatal announcement that another DBS movie is on development. Even Gohan’s dub actor Kyle Herbert wasn’t happy to know that his character isn’t in that film this time around.
Many fans have been wondering where do we go next since the Galactic PatrolPrisoner Manga Arc is unexpected goes beyond the series. Even though CBR had given some possible storylines in the upcoming movie, I am not certain we can bring back the Red Ribbon Army anytime or any other weird scenario from their list.
So here are the list of possible storylines and changes we fans should expect to see in either the next Dragon Ball movie or saved for the future episodes and manga arcs afterwards:
20.) The return of blood, gore and better animation quality from Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
19.) Gohan and Krillin enjoy their slice of life with their wives and kids in future Episodes... and train for the next threat as well.
18.) Filling up a fan theory of one the Angels sinister plot against Grand Zeno’s... and it could possibly be the Grand Minister.
17.) Bringing back Vic Mignogna as the voice of Broly
16.) Another Future Trunks Saga where we can see our favorite hero and future Mai settle down at since their Original Timeline was obliterated by Zeno
15.) One time story mini arc of Universe 6’s Saiyans (Cabba, Kale and Caulifla) adventures. In addition, explore more on their threesome relationship and the Saiyan society.
14.) Broly and Cheelai’s relationship blossoms (At least that what most fans would see a anime reference of Tarzan and Jane)
13.) Son Goku meet his parents, Bardock and Gine, for the first time!
12.) Piccolo merge with an namekian god to gain the power that rivals Super Saiyan Blue.
13.) Cooler is hint to be canon just like Tarble. But fairly some of us want our favorite badass villain to side with his brother Frieza, not as an anti-hero
12.) for the Dragon Ball Fighterz adaptation, Android 21 is now a beloved character thanks to Akira Toriyama himself. But not everyone wants the revived villains from the game. Plus her good half and the her human link partner would be a great addition to the Z Fighters. Wheras bringing back Android 16 would be a lot of fun. It’ll be cool to see a human fighting soul, his Majin Bio waifu and Goku to take on the Evil Android 21.
11.) Warriors from the Tournament of Power teamed with Son Goku and the Z Fighters to save the Multiverse from a much greater threat... like Frieza or Hearts [A villain from the Super Dragon Ball Heroes mini series]
10.) The return of Tien Shinhan and a long forgotten character Good/Bad Launch.
9.) King Kai teaches Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu the Kaioken technique!
8.) The development on Goten and Trunks; Goku trains Broly on Planet Vampa to control his inner power!
7.) Don’t add anymore Super Saiyan forms! Give the Z Fighters time to get caught up with their own strength, and the classic aspect from the original Dragon Ball series needs to come back!
6.) When Jiren was shown up in the Tournament of Power arc, he has poven to be the strongest warrior in the Multiverse. His potential story would be interesting to explore more of his tragic past while Goku’s for another round for this broken hero of Universe 11.
5.) Universe 7’s Saiyans (Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Broly) visit Planet Sadala Of Universe 6. Also had a friendly spar with Cabba, Kale and Caulifla.
4.) In the Universal Survival arc, Gohan made a promise to Frieza that he will finish him up himself if Earth is threaten. Hell yeah! I wanna see our boy beat that galactic tyrant in his own hands. Sorry Goku!
3.) Make the Z Fighters become more prominent characters then being on the sideline. I mean for real Toriyama! Why is Super so focus on Son Goku and Vegeta? They already had their moments. So now it’s their turn take on the baddies much or similarly like DBZ.
-Krillin has decided to go back as a martial artist so that’ll be something for fans of the Dragon Ball.
-Tien’s new take as a role ofSensai would interesting enough to see how he teaches his pupils while taming Yurin and had another rematch with Mercenary Tao.
- Android 17 is surprisingly strong in the Tournament of Power. So would it be easy enough to had him aid Goku and friends in future battles? You damn right!
-Master Roshi is has been heavenly underestimated by his opponents, and he has overcome his pervert behavior in the TOP. Plus he can use Mafūba more then once despite how dangerous the sealing technique is. This Turtle hermit need some more comeback after a long absent.
-Videl is being treated like a housewife for her daughter Pan in Super. But many fans had forgotten that this gal is martial arts fighter in her own right in the Majin Buu Saga. When she hold on her own against Spopovich in a bloody fight, I was amazed how determined and inner strength the daughter of Satan has proven. Dont care what people are saying, she deserves more. So why can’t her husband Gohan teach her the Kamahamaha wave? Why haven’t he reason her training? This problem needs to be fixed!
2.) While Japanese fans were all looked up to Son Goku as their favorites, many westerners like me like Gohan more. He may not into fighting, but he’s willing to do it in order to keep his friends and family safe. Plus he did state that he is searching for a power beyond his Mystic form. So I hope Toriyama can hear this own out.... MAKE GOHAN GREAT AGAIN!!!
1.) Had Goku mastered his Ultra Instinct!
So here is my list I hope Toriyama and @toei-animation-official should consider take some advices. For the most part, I am not only speaking for myself, but to many Dragon Ball fans who grew up with the show since childhood. So don’t let all of us down! 🙂👍
