Monster Beast Giran (with Meat and Milk!) by Mast3r-Rainb0w

In honor of the late Akira Toriyama, here's some fanart for Giran the Giras from the ORIGINAL/OG Dragon Ball anime. He's personally one of my favorite side-characters who loves eating meat and drinking milk! Vegans beware! Anyways, enjoy the fanart!

Giran Appreciation Post because i'm watching the original dragon ball hoping to actually stick with it this time and love that the first ever budokai tenkaichi was low-stakes enough for goku's opponent to be a Toriyama Brand Fat Fuck Dinosaur, the very best kind of dinosaur

7 Dragon Ball Villains that could've carried their own arc

Honorable mention, Sorbet. So I enjoy Frieza as much as the next guy, but his wacky and colorful Frieza Force is what firmly places the Namek Saga over the Cell Saga in my mind. Like they're all such memorable characters that I even like Cui ffs. However, let's be real, none of these guys could carry their own arc. At their heart, they're all followers (all except good ol' Geets). Maybe before their recruitment they had more ambition and determination, but when faced with Frieza's insurmountable power, they ultimately all bent over and bowed.

Sorbet is an odd example, because he is definitely a follower as well, although when the power vacuum that is Frieza and King Cold's death opened up, he didn't turn away. He instead took charge and kept the Planet Trade Organization afloat for DECADES, despite being a koala-man with a power level that I'm sure rivals Appule at best.

The only reason he's not on the list proper is because when we finally get to see Sorbet in action, he's trying to pass the torch back to Frieza. He still gets major points tho for leading as long as he did

Spoilers: no one else from Super is on this list, even though a filler character is

Monster Beast Giran

Look, I'm not saying Giran could've carried his own saga, but if Dragon Ball had been written by a more traditional shonen mangaka instead of a gag artist, he probably would've been the Big Bad of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. And yes, I'm using his added characterization from filler scenes in the anime to make my point.

A milk drinking brute with a voracious appetite and a deep-seated hatred of heroes, this absolute unit was unfortunately no match for Goku in canon, but his hulking appearance and quirky personality (at least in the anime) always stuck out to me. In my generic re-write of this arc, a majorly buffed Giran faces Jackie Chun instead, and defeats him. He then faces and almost defeats Goku in the final, but Goku transforms into a real monster beast for the win, and that's that

Yea I won't be trying to retell the story for the rest of these entries

Raditz

It says a lot about the quality of Toriyama's villains that Goku's evil brother from space is a mere speed bump on the road to the real top dog of the Saiyan Saga. This dude is so fucking sexy and such a piece of shit that I can't help but imagine what he could've gotten himself into if only he had more screentime

Staff Officer Black

I know Toriyama loves subverting expectations and that's one of the things I so greatly enjoy about Dragon Ball, but c'mon. Commander Black of the Black Ribbon Army would've been... so so sooo cool. The dude's a true believer, actually loyal to his men, and idk what Red did to become the leader over him, but he seems to have been the real brains behind the operation. Dragon Ball Online brought back Commander Red as a cyborg and all I'm asking is why not Staff Officer Black instead?

Turles

Aight so Tree of Might isn't the greatest movie, I'd even say it's mid at best, but it also has amazing ideas. The Tree of Might? Neat, inspired, scary, and also drawn from Journey to the West lore. Turles? Sexy tan Goku, what's not to like? His Crusher Corps? Don't get me started on his Crusher Corps, because they all have their own story, which was included in extraneous material, but not the movie itself.

Amond, the big guy? Yea he was an intergalactic criminal that was arrested by the Galactic Patrol until he was freed by Turles. Daiz was the Prince of the Pukimpa Dynasty that led his planet's army against Turles, but was defeated, then recruited for fighting so bravely. Cacao was a cyborg built to fight an interstellar war before he fucked off to become a bounty hunter and eventually join the Crusher Corps. Rasin and Lakasei were fossils resurrected by Turles using extract from the Tree of Might.

Fuck, Turles himself is a low-class Saiyan warrior that somehow found or stole the holy Seeds of Might, which were reserved for Kai. When I was a kid my older brother told me (read, lied to me lol) that Saiyans were all test tube babies grown from different strains and that's the difference between low medium and elite saiyans and why he and Goku are almost identical. Like, that's not true, but there's a lotta fleshing out you could do with Turles to make him and his potential saga more compelling

Demon King Dabura

Ruler of a shadowy demon realm for thousands of years with a power level that equals Perfect Cell, Demon King Dabura is also... the bitch of a tiny bitchy wizard? Yup, that's Toriyama all right.

So lemme start by saying that this guy gets so little credit he's not even in Fighterz, despite having a cool sword and a huge canon moveset. He also looks... well tbh, he doesn't look as awesome to adult me as he did to kid me, but he's still neat looking. I like his horns and his funky glamrock outfit. He also probably had his own Dabura Force filled with edgy evul henchmen (including Shula from that filler episode, who I'm pretty sure inspired Dabura's creation) that could've easily filled an entire saga.

It says a lot that Raditz isn't the lead of his saga, but imo it says way more that Toriyama created an entire evil universe opposite the regular universe ruled over by this baritone Satan and he's just a footnote. It also says a lot about Dragon Ball Heroes that instead of trying it's own thing, it digs up Toriyama's fossilized spittle and creates Mira, Towa, and Kabuto from Naruto.

Mercenary Tao Pai Pai

Ok so I'm biased, because this flamboyant bastard is easily one of my favorite villains, and that's including everything, not just Dragon Ball or comics. He oozes so much style that I'm not even sure how you could stretch him out into an entire arc, but it doesn't matter, because he could make it work. The dude can make watching someone else shop for clothes compelling ffs, so as far as I'm concerned, Tao could've been the villain for the whole of Dragon Ball and it'd be just or almost as good as what we actually got

His shirt says Kill You! he's seriously the best don't @ me

Dr. Gero

Mustache

Yes, I know he was supposed to be the Big Bad, but Toriyama's former editor didn't think an old man in baggy pants and a fat clown could carry their own arc, but they're wrong damn it! Just look at him

My tribute to Akira Toriyama

Another Valentines pic I made for myself

[zachsketches]

Redid an old illustration of Giran I did in 2017 (partly because the original was flagged as adult content on Blusky for some reason).

I never drew a lot of Dragon Ball fan art, but I watched the Cell & Buu sagas of Z religiously as a kid (plus the movies) and I loved the tournament arcs from the original series. The announcement of Akira Toriyama's death is a little hard to take in, but it's amazing seeing how much of an impact he left on entertainment as whole.

Saiyam AU: So elements from DB in MHA. Dinosaurs and other DB wildlife might be more likely than you think, if you allow for more Quirked Animals than Canon MHA. Various Animal People ala DB are covered under Quirks and Quirked Animals too. But here's one I'm not sure is as prevalent as in Canon DB - Magic. Dragonballs were mentioned, but what else is still around, and not just a Quirk? Monster Carrot could totally be a Quirk(ed Animal?,) for example, same with Giran.

I'd like to include magic because I prefer Pre-Z Dragon Ball, but I haven't figured out where it would fit in yet

[dededaio]

hell yeah i fucking love giran he was one of my favorite parts of 21st budokai. he likes milk

He's such a dork. He has Susie Deltarune energy with how he tries to come across as intimidating. I also love how he's one of the few minor Dragon Ball OGs to be constantly referenced. He deserves it

[radroller]

Like that’s just how it is with Dragon Ball man. I get hype whenever i watch scenes from Goku’s fight with GIRAN. You could tell me Ledgic from DBGT was one of your favorites and id be like “that’s awesome!” How can you just say Hit is lame? The man is a cold-blooded time skipping assassin! That’s DOPE!!! Jiren had to go so far outve his way personality-wise to be as disliked as he is, Hit is serving us a buffet of badassery and people turn your noses up at it??? Cmon!!!!!

Giran from Dragon Ball

Yes. I'm not down bad for him, but I know for a fact there are many furries who love this. In fact, my part of this post done. @were-ralph what are your thoughts on this guy?

[duhragonball]

I am not sure if I missed something...but is GT 15 worse than roaming lake? Please clarify this for the official score count, thanks

Oh, sorry about that. I got so caught up in the guest appearance by The Roaming Lake that I forgot to render a verdict.

For anyone just joining us, I was comparing this episode of DBGT with this episode of classic Dragon Ball. And I'll just skip to the end, I think GT Episode 15 is indeed worse than "The Roaming Lake".

Why? Because I remembered GT 15 reasonably well from when I last saw it ten years ago, and yet the ending was so terrible that I somehow tricked myself into misremembering what happened. I completely forgot that Giru saved the day at the end, which totally undermined Pan's character arc in that episode.

I'm finding that happens a lot with GT, where I will vaguely recall an episode being halfway decent, only to watch it fresh and discover some ridiculous nonsense that I had completely forgotten. I'm starting to think that everyone who claims to like GT has fallen under the same spell. They believe they enjoyed it, but that's only because they haven't seen it in so long that they forgot all the stupid stuff.

Also, GT 15 has a lot in common with "The Roaming Lake" in terms of plot elements. Both are set in arid climates, both feature characters wandering the parched landscape in search of water, and both feature an oasis magically showing up at the end to solve everyone's problems.

The difference is that Goku and Nam at least solved their quest by finding and destroying Giran's indestructible dam. In Pan's adventure, she gets reduced to a spectator in her own story, as Giru swoops in and finds her, the Dragon Ball, and the water. It would be like if Goku and Nam passed out on the way to Giran's dam, and then they wake up to find Ranfan blew up the damn and rescued them while they were unconscious.

So yeah, this episode of GT may be "The Roaming Lake II", but the sequel doesn't measure up to the original. TRL is up 15 to nothing.
