I had a dream Beast Gohan was briefly in Daima (a quick switch to him while Krillin was narrating) and Twitter was ALL over it, sharing the same screenshot 😩🙏

Something I really, really love about super's manga and what I think is so appealing about Vegeta's character arc in general is that it's, in my opinion, good, earnest restorative justice in fiction.

Vegeta has no say in how he's raised, he's conditioned to have a certain mindset and worldview that he has to put in the work to pull himself out of. It's messy. It's ugly. He relapses. He faces it. He works on it. He learns that death and justice aren't the same thing, even when it comes to himself. He grows.

But his backstory never serves to excuse his horrific actions or his shitty behavior. Not by Vegeta himself, and not by the narrative. (At least not in the manga.)

It's never used as a sob story excuse about why he's allowed to be like this. It's never used to explain away why he's a bad person or imply that everyone needs to be nice to him. It's never, as my friend puts the trope, 'Aw, poor little war criminal.' There are people who forgive him and there are people who don't. Obviously the forgiveness of his immediate community affects him in a positive way, but the lack of forgiveness from people he's harmed also affects him in a positive way, and the narrative slowly rewards him because he's making the decision to do and be better, regardless of whether or not anybody claps (in fact, there's a whole bit in BotG that he does not like it when people call attention to and quite literally clap for his decision to do and be better).

He gets an arc about how that has no bearing on his decision to do better. He asks, point-blank, if someone is still angry with him for a horrible thing that harmed them. He's given an honest answer. Rejection doesn't change his determination to help the people who are left to save, not even for a moment. He accepts that it's permanent damage, keeps helping, and does not bring it up again.

The narrative tells us it's no one's responsibility to forgive him, and more importantly the narrative tells us he knows that, and knows that it's entirely his responsibility to keep trying to do better for the people who are still here.

He gets a minor plot bringing attention to the fact that he bears the weight of his father's legacy, and while he gets to deny that his fathers decisions were not his responsibility -- he gets a follow up plot that addresses that he was (and was wholly intending to be) just as bad, if not worse, given a seat of power.

He gets that whole arc to explore how there's nothing he can do to change his past. He is not responsible for the sins of others, but the burden of his past is something he has to take with him into his future, and that guilt is not entirely a bad thing. The guilt is something he chooses to embrace. It gives him empathy he didn't have before. It gives him awareness of himself and his power from the new perspective of self-imposed kindness, and allows him to help someone much like himself be less alone and navigate the anger without making the same isolating mistakes.

(Toriyama's version of) The story starts rewarding him (in terms of his stated, consistent goals) when he starts actively, knowingly, and willingly pursuing kindness toward others on his own, and it becomes his natural response. He's never going to be a sweetheart like Gohan, or the Fun Opponent like Goku, but slowly he becomes the best version of himself, while still very much being Himself. And it's only after his goals are completely freed of malice and insecurity that he's able to meet them.

I just think that's a neat moral and a really well-done way to write restorative justice.

Do you think whatever surprise is being held for Daima will be accidentally shown again? Because,

Well,

To be honest? It has happened a fair bit before!

Thankfully, Mastered Ultra Instinct was not, mostly!

I ask because, well...

It seems as though whoever the surprise is, might be in the UDM keychain collection.

All this to say, I really hope it does not get leaked. Whatever the case will be, I am really looking forward to whatever happens next!

I have mixed feelings for Toriyama but damn I find his attitude towards the fans fucking hilarious

Average DB fan: We want cool and powerful battles!

DB creator: I want cute and funny moments (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Or was it... SABOTAGE???

Imagine if Universe 7 was erased in Tournament of Power, that means Supreme Kai Shin is erased 😭 I like to think Dr Arinsu sees everything what is going on (being broadcasted) then she sees Degesu in jail.

“Nahare is dead.”

Degesu is obvious shocked and wanted to know what happened, “How?”

“His universe lost the tournament against other universe’s mortals hence erased by Grand Zeno.” Arinsu smirked slightly, “Nahare would not intervene in your plan of world domination now or ever.”

She left jail so she can watch the rest of Tournament of Power leaving Degesu alone to process that Shin, formerly Nahare is dead in a way he won’t come back to the demon realm again.

(When the reality of Shin’s death really hit him, Degesu did weep one time, he didn’t expected it but if it did happen he’s glad he is alone to weep rather others seeing it)

I absolutely love that even in the face of danger or even when facing enemies, Goku still has casual conversaitons with them and even ends up pissing them off unintentionally sometimes

[ladybbg]

So I have learnt to keep the expectations very low with DB but I am honest I would love if AT trolled us and all Daima was Beerus dream. I mean my Vegebul side would be pissed but at the same time it would be genius. But it is unlikely to happen so we will see..

morning campers i think ill be mad about the goku black arc's ending until i die actually

[fandom-trash-xl]

If they make the inevitable Glorio SH Figuarts a Premium Bandai solely on the grounds that he's not Goku or Vegeta, I'm going to start biting.

[queeniehostapasta]

Arghh did the siblings!!! (Currently still finishing up Daima)

Funny af that Shin is older than Degesu…

ngl gang I finished both my dissociation fixation games and got a rejection letter for a job I was a shoe-in for after a month-long, three-pronged review/interview process and I am not having a great time
