#justice for yamcha

[yamcha-thelonewolf]

🤟IF HE WAS HERE I WOULD HAVE

GIVEN HIM A BIG WELCOME!!🤟

[optimisticyellowwolf]

Why do you like Yamcha so much????

How I see Yamcha:

[hozonkai1]

Bulma: Accuses Yamcha of "cheating" Also Bulma:Fucks guy who murdered him

[average-tofu-enjoyer]

Opinion of Yamcha?

we love and support yamcha in this house!!! he was done so dirty imo. i will say original dragon ball is my favorite out of the whole series (the adventure, the goofiness, the nostalgia, the art style!! *chef’s kiss*) and my man was such a badass back when he was introduced!! well aside from when he laid eyes on bulma for the first few times, but who can blame him? i had the same reaction. :p

he’s living my dream life in the beginning too, just chillin in the desert with his cat pal (aside from the whole being a bandit thing lol.) which brings me to my next point; without yamcha, we wouldn’t have puar!!

i think it’s a dang shame that bulma made him out to be a cheating scumbag because there’s no evidence that i’ve ever seen to indicate that he ACTUALLY was unfaithful to her. all we saw is that other women were pining for him but he didn’t seem to ever act on any of it.

and now he’s fallen so far from when he was introduced as a real main character, but i suppose it’s good that he’s come into his own in a way and he has his baseball career and the unconditional love of puar. 💕

apologies for the delayed response btw! i was taking a lil break from social media stuff for a bit to focus on some personal stuff but i love getting questions! (*´∀｀*) what do you think of yamcha? and out of og dragon ball, dbz, gt, and super, which is your favorite?

Suicide Squad KTJL has a Plot Armor Problem

SPOILERS for vague but significant Kill The Justice League plot details

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is awful in multiple ways but one that I've found particularly baffling (outside of the disrespectful treatment of members of the Justice League) is the compulsion the game has with granting the Suicide Squad extreme plot armor throughout the entire runtime.

The Suicide Squad genuinely gets through every boss battle with the Justice League COMPLETELY unscathed. The brainwashing that has turned the League, as evidenced by the game, explicitly makes them sadistic & cruel to the point that they are regularly seen slaughtering average non-meta citizens. By all accounts, every instant they encounter any of the League, the Suicide Squad should be instantly brutalized & massacred because of the absence of each heroes morality, compassion & need for restraint. Yet for some reason, each League boss seems to be fine taunting & monologue to the Squad before granting them a sporting chance to fight them via a solo boss battle. That alone already obliterates the stakes of the game's plot but then the game has the gall to have these boss battles conclude with the defeated hero in a Yamcha Crater completely battered, broken, bruised & bloody while the members of the Squad stand around their quarry completely unblemished, barely winded & making C- wisecracks.

The entire point of the Suicide Squad as a team is that the missions they go on are fundamentally dangerous & near impossible ordeals where severe injuries & outright deaths are common. Not everyone in Task Force X who goes on a mission comes back & that's a massive part of the drama & tension that the Suicide Squad comics have. I know that with the limited roster of just the 4 current pre-DLC TFX members in Kill The Justice League makes it so that killing them during the game wouldn't happen. I'd ask why you’re creating a Suicide Squad game at that point honestly but whatever. However at the very least, each boss battle should take a massive toll on the Squad. They should be coming away from fights with kill-happy League members like Green Lantern or Batman with bloody noses, broken arms, hastily patched stomach wounds or broken ribs. At the end of the game, the Suicide Squad should look like they are on their absolute last legs & only a stiff breeze away from falling over dead. If the Suicide Squad barely struggles despite the fact that their opponents are literally the most powerful beings on the planet, the narrative is robbed of any threat or tension or drama or stakes.

Heck, even in great stories about the Justice League themselves, despite the fact that they are powerful, the stories keep you engaged by having some risk. Even though they get likened to gods, the Justice League does bleed & break & suffer & tire. Sometimes the heroes are one step behind, sometimes a villain gets the jump on them, sometimes they bicker amongst themselves & that strife bites them, sometimes they underestimate their opponents, sometimes they’re separated & sometimes de-powered, some members have an ego & an overconfidence that blinds them to their weaknesses, sometimes they get knocked out or wounded or injured, sometimes they’re outplayed & sometimes they miss the bigger sinister plot that the smaller & simpler crimes play into. Experiencing a taxing series of critical failures, bad luck, unsettling mysteries, devastating crises, frustrating manipulations & misdirections, unfortunate infighting & hard-fought battles is what makes the Justice League’s ultimate victories satisfying & that same principle makes teams like The Suicide Squad compelling.

IMO in KTJL, The Suicide Squad should be Die Hard's John McClane to the Justice League's well-armed terrorist army that fills every floor of Nakatomi Plaza. I find it especially egregious when James Gunn's The Suicide Squad understood this principle. At the end of that film, the Squad is nearly halved in size & every hero looks exhausted & beyond their limit reflecting the fact that they stood up to and managed to defeat a freaking kaiju just by the skin of their teeth. It's honestly just astounding to me that such a core part of not only the Suicide Squad's essence as a team but also of dramatic & thrilling storytelling was so completely unfulfilled.

If the Dragon Ball wiki isn't going to give me any Puar trivia, then *cracks knuckles* it's Excessively Long Headcanon Time

First, between watching 3 different dubs of 3 different parts of the franchise recently that all referred to Puar as she/her (in Japanese apparently Puar has a female actor but uses a typically masculine "I" pronoun and is addressed with a typically masculine honorific—and has been declared male by Toriyama in an interview—so I dunno if the English translators just assumed gender based on voice or if Puar so rarely speaks about themself / is so rarely directly spoken to that the pronouns and honorific only came up after the translator had already declared them female)...I've been like "Puar as a boy is cute...but Puar as a girl is ALSO cute..." so I'm headcanoning them on the nonbinary spectrum to have the best of both worlds XD [I mean this affectionately and not transphobically, so please let me know if I should rephrase this]

Since all we get of Puar's backstory besides Transformation Kindergarten is "Puar hatched from an egg," headcanon that they grew up in the wild somewhere, separated from their birth parents and constantly fearing for their life because of all the local predators. One day Puar was rescued from danger by a former student of the Transformation Kindergarten who took a liking to Puar and decided to bring them there, so they could at least defend themself by shapeshifting into scary forms to frighten their enemies or into bug forms too tiny to be caught.

There, though, Puar was mercilessly bullied by Oolong, who made everyone's life hell until he was finally kicked out (his parents had sent him there thinking that "Transformation Kindergarten" was a finishing school that would fix his bad behavior). This treatment only increased Puar's resolve to master transformation and have a way to defend themself, and they graduated at the top of their class. They were tempted to live quietly in peace at the school and become an instructor, but wanted revenge against Oolong and went out into the world to find him (correctly assuming that Oolong would still be up to no good) and Bring Him To Justice.

Unfortunately, the world outside the secluded school was still dangerous and Puar's shapeshifting abilities weren't as helpful as they'd been promised. Pretty soon after leaving, they were captured by some anthro animal gangsters who for several weeks forced Puar at gunpoint to use their ability for the gangsters' benefit. Yamcha, who only saw a bunch of big guys kicking around a tiny sorta-cat child, swooped in and came to the rescue with a dashing grin and hair blowing dramatically in the wind, and for Puar it was love at first sight. They swore undying allegiance to Yamcha, who was initially like "Uh...that's a bit much," but agreed to take Puar in after realizing how useful Puar's shapeshifting would be for banditry. (Puar, to his dying day, will never realize the irony of being forced to shapeshift to commit crimes only to be rescued and then excitedly volunteer to shapeshift to commit crimes.)

When they go off to live at Capsule Corp, Puar has a strong affection for Bulma's parents and considers them parent-like (also having parental feelings for the teachers at Transformation Kindergarten), but has latched onto Yamcha so hard that they've mentally adopted Yamcha's (long-dead) parents as their own, and fantasizes so hard about what it would've been like to grow up with Yamcha that sometimes they'll mention a daydream memory in conversation and Yamcha's like "??? I didn't meet you 'til I was 14??" and Puar has to hastily come up with an excuse for what they said.

Again, Puar's been madly in love with Yamcha since the moment they met, but they're asexual and thought romantic love = desire for sex so they didn't understand that it was love until many years later when they not only learned about asexuality, but finally connected the concept to their own experience and specific feelings for Yamcha. (In the meantime, they'd been aggressively pushing for Yamcha and Bulma to get together and stay together, with the idea that that was what would make Yamcha happy and Puar would do ANYTHING to make Yamcha happy.) But the realization just made things worse because then they had to deal with the thoughts that Yamcha only ever dated human women and therefore probably wouldn't see Puar romantically and even if he did he'd probably want to Do Stuff that Puar might not be comfortable with and angst angst angst angst aaaangst. They couldn't talk to Bulma about it cus they didn't want to get between her and Yamcha, and was terrified of talking to Oolong about it since Oolong would surely make fun of them or tell Yamcha out of spite (Oolong having spent the previous years nonstop teasing Puar about having a crush on Yamcha, which was easier to take when Puar sincerely thought it wasn't true).

Eventually they do confide in Oolong, and Oolong DOES make fun of them at first ("You're in love with Yamcha? This is supposed to be NEWS??") and absolutely cannot comprehend the concept of asexuality, but backs off when it's clear that Puar is genuinely upset, partly cus Oolong also understands how hard it is to be obsessively in love with a human who's only attracted to other humanoids (Bulma). He still teases Puar sometimes, but also takes any opportunity to try to wingman Yamcha into dating Puar, to Puar's horror. (Fortunately Yamcha never picks up on the subtext and is just like "Well yeah, sure I'll take Puar to the movie if they want to go? I mean of course Puar's gonna come live with me, they're my little buddy?")

After recovering from the world-ending trauma of the Buu Saga, Puar finally confesses to Yamcha in an extremely shoujo "It's okay if you don't like me back, but I want you to know" way, and Yamcha's surprised and says "I don't like you that way" but is extremely cool with it, Puar is massively relieved, and they continue on as even closer friends.

ALSO: headcanon that the hardest part of learning to shapeshift is the actual act of shapeshifting, of imagining what you want to be in 3D and willing your molecules into that shape. The part that Oolong missed when he was kicked out of school was the ability to increase your endurance and improve your concentration, which is about increasing your body's stamina through exercise (since it's physically taxing to rearrange yourself into and maintain a foreign shape) and controlling your mental state through meditation (so you can calmly and easily maintain the form in the back of your mind while consciously focusing on other things, instead of having to concentrate hard on staying in your chosen shape). Oolong doesn't know about this, just that Puar can maintain a form longer and transform more times in a row than he can. He tried going back to school but had been blacklisted for life, and Puar refused to teach him, knowing he would probably use it for evil (at minimum, to get dates with girls who aren't into pigs).

Super Dragon Ball Heroes 41-43

Ma’am, you must be new.  That’s all they ever do around here.

We’ve finally reached the home stretch, which is the Supreme Kai of Time arc that begins in Episode 41.  As far as I can tell, the arc continues through Episode 49, and still isn’t finished.  I think episode 50 will go live in a few months, but it still hasn’t been scheduled, so my plan is to just cover up to 49 and maybe write an update later in the year.

Also, since I’ve only got one arc left, I’m going to treat myself and do this three episodes at a time, so we can go over this at a more leisurely pace. 

We open with Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, meeting with her predecessor, Aeos.  I’m confused about how this works, since you would think Aeos would have died before Chronoa was appointed to take her place, but I guess we’ll learn more about this as we go. Anyway, Aeos disapproves of the way Chronoa has allowed so many alternate timelines to propogate, so she’s come out of retirement to confiscate the Scroll of Eternity. Chronoa vows to resist this, but Aeos has backup in the form of those guys in hooded uniforms, like Brown Goku from the last arc.

Soon after this, Goku is invited to a special competition called the Super Space-Time Tournament.  Goku’s in like Flynn.

Goku arrives to find the usual suspects: Jiren, Hit, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta, and... Yamcha?  He says the tournament promoter knows what’s up, and I agree.  Good luck, Yamcha.

I had heard SDBH was doing a tournament, but didn’t understand how they could hope to do a tournament arc justice in this kind of format. Well, this one’s pretty quick.  It’s 12 teams of 7, so that’s 84 fighters competing all at once, similar to the Tournament of Power, but the time limit for the first round is only 24 minutes.  To advance, your team can either defeat every other team on the board, or you can capture one of three fairies that are fluttering around the battlefield.

So only three teams can advance, and the other 63 fighters will be eliminated, so I don’t want to spend a lot of time talking about those guys.  Suffice to say, there’s a Ginyu Force team, an all-Androids team, and so on. 

There’s some decent matchups here, like Broly vs. Jiren, Goku vs. Xeno Goku, Trunks vs. Tapion, and Janemba vs. Kid Buu, but none of these get much time to shine, so it sort of doesn’t matter.

Oh, right, Hit vs. Hirudegarn.  That’s pretty cool.

Also, Turles vs. Super Saiyan 3 Raditz?  Neat.

It all looks really cool, except it gets cut short when Yamcha captures a fairy by luck, and his entire team gets teleported back to where they started from. 

There’s a Time Patroller team, and they also caught a fairy, so that’s two teams who advance.  The third is a team with Hearts, Cumber, Cooler, and Frieza, among others. 

What about the others?  Well their timelines were erased once they washed out of the tournament.  One of Aeos’ guys explains that rule, and Trunks angrily attacks, demanding to retrieve the Scroll of Eternity for Chronoa.  They fight for a while, until...

Aeos steps in and freezes time to halt their brawl.  They were in the middle of shooting energy balls at each other, so she opens up portals to make them disappear.  Aeos explains her position on how there’s too many timelines, and she intends to use the tournament to solve that problem.

So on to the second round.  The surviving 21 fighters are divvied up and sent to four different battlegrounds.  There, they must attempt to capture a fairy from one of Aeos’ hechmen, and deliver it to her in the center of the four areas.  I think that’s the idea, anyway.  Since there’s three teams and four fairies, I guess that means one team must score at least two fairies, which would make them the winner. 

At the Namekian battleground, Aeos’ man disrobes to reveal he’s another Piccolo.  Gohan and our Piccolo are the representatives for “our” team.

Curiously, three of their teammates are on this other battleground: Yamcha, Vegeta, and Hit.   Their opponent is Vidro, who seems to be of the same species as Lagss from Hearts’ gang about 25 episodes back.

On the third battleground, Trunks continues his fight with the guy from before, and it soon becomes clear that he’s...

Future Gohan, from a timeline where he survived the Androids, but Trunks and Bulma did not.  Somehow, Aeos recruited him and empowered him with the Dark Dragon Balls, and he’s resolved to never be weak or defeated again. 

They do battle, and Trunks is dismayed to find that Gohan is very different from the man who taught him all those years ago. 

So that leaves Goku and Jiren in the fourth battleground to face...

Well, whoever this guy is.  You figure it out.  I can’t be bothered.

Dragon Ball Z: Abridged Episode 31 Review

Originally posted December 15th, 2015

Reflection and humble beginnings.

Last season, Team Four Star began with intensity and focus on the story they were going to tell. As Bulma blasted off towards Namek, there was a sense of determination she shared with her creators; while she was determined to gather the Dragonballs and bring her friends back to life, Team Four Star was determined to retell the Freeza saga with the appropriate weight such a story deserved.

They were burdened with a great task of satisfying the expectations of their fans, most of whom had already seen the original Freeza Saga and held it in high regard, and they let their viewers know that they were going to take that task seriously. Now, however, the Freeza saga is over, and it was pretty clearly a success. Imperfections aside, Team Four Star did an excellent job retelling this story, and that fact is something I’m sure they are keenly aware of.

It’s fitting then, that they choose to begin season three not with determination, but with reflection. While they tease at an ominous story to come with Garlic Jr., by the end of the episode they show that to be a red herring; the important story here is a simple but personal tale following Krillin and his new girlfriend, Maron.

Now, Krillin is not my favorite character in this series,1 but he is my fourth favorite character because, despite being constantly overwhelmed and afraid, he still persists and does his best to fight alongside people who are essentially gods. He’s also the most human character in this series, which is made incredibly clear in this episode as he struggles with whether or not Maron loves him because of who he is, or because of the money he obtained through insurance fraud.

This question keeps him up late into the night, and after having the most emotionally honest conversation of the series with a turtle, he decides that he’s going to tell Maron everything and see if she still loves him anyway. She never loved him at all, it turns out; she was investigating him for insurance fraud the entire time. Finding this out is heartbreaking, to be sure, but it’s also hilarious, and since Krillin’s wealth was obtained illegally, it feels like karmic justice as well.

The rest of the episode is also filled with small snippets of domesticity for the characters. Everyone attends a birthday party for Turtle, a talking turtle that everyone seems to care about and love for no apparent reason besides the fact that he seems pretty nice. Gohan and Chichi pound the tuna, in an attempt to take the place of Goku, and Piccolo chills on a mountaintop with Nail and Kami, talking about nothing particularly important. This is all incredibly refreshing, giving us a break from the intensity we just went through in the Freeza saga while still delivering a funny and entertaining episode.

Rating: 5/5

Stray Observations

1My top three characters from Dragonball Z: Abridged are as follows: Piccolo, Gohan, and Vegeta in that order. Piccolo’s slightly too serious demeanor (which makes him feel perfectly out of place) and devotion to being Gohan’s father puts him at the top, Gohan’s bookishness combined with a will to fight (and anger/father issues) makes him second, and Vegeta’s superiority complex, devil-may-care attitude and excellent insults make him third.

Oh, Kanye, you always let us know when bitches be gold diggin’. (And then “American Woman” reminding us of that later.)

Kami: “Last time Mr. Popo had a booty call I found five corpses. He laughed when I said five.”

Bulma: “No one screws Yamcha but life.”

Krillin Owned: 29, because Maron isn’t just a gold digger, she’s a federal agent.

Maron: “I said I worked for the government, I never said I was a good person.”

Mr. Popo: “Oh don’t mind me Kami. I just had a bit of Italian for dinner.” Kami: “What does that-“ Mr. Popo: “’Cause it was nothing but Garlic!”

👀Psst! Yamcha and Tien are watching you. Be careful what you say. They seem to be among the strongest earthlings in the world.💥

[keylovesstuff]

1 and 19 for the fanfic ask game!

What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?

The very first fandom I wrote for was Dragonball. After reading a bunch of Pre-db, present, and post Z fics. I tried my hand in writing 🤭🤭 (I actually have yet to go back and read what I posted on Fanfic net... I know they're bad in the best way, but like ugh 🫣🫣 will never bring myself to delete them. We live with the cringe things we post on the internet 👌🏾). So technically, the first pairing I wrote for in the fandom would be King Vegeta/ Unarmed Queen, but that would technically be an OC, I guess, so it would be Vegebul as one of the main canon ships (even though they were kinda minor in the story imo 🤔).

Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why?

Every character I wrote for 🤣🤣🤣 nah...umm for my two dbz fics (currently being beta'd I'm really excited to share those when it's ready btw) I challenged myself writing EOZ Goten, Marron (post buu saga as well), little bit of Krillin and 18, and Yamcha. They were really challenging cause I haven't read as many fics with them as a main focus, and like so many people love these characters, and they are so unrepresented and mischaracterized (?) In the fandom in general. I'm a little lurker here and on Twitter (probably for the best), and there's some valid statements....so I kinda took what I saw and went with it (I hope I did them justice...I know you can't please everyone with works but we'll see 😌) and it kinda helps that you're able to mold them all in so many ways. For my Mario fics...Bowser for sure I never know if I make him like intimidating (?) Yet kinda friendly at the same time, and I think that really all comes down to showing that childhood toxicity (ig), but yeah, like I said earlier, it helps that I'm able to mold him in any way to a point.

3, 4, 21, 24?

O shit I didn't actually expect to get asks on this thing but I will do you proud 😤

Shin

King Kai

Buu (all of them)

18

21. Which Bulma hairstyle is your favorite?

This one honestly, we didn't have it for very long tho

24. If you could write your own episode, what would it be about? 

Teacakes real--

[straightfacedstrangeness]

Tell me your deep Chaozu/Ten headcanon lore. They're off screen so much now, what do you think they've been up to?

Same with Oolong if you're feeling up to it

I’m ALWAYS up for Oolong

Tien & Chiaotzu:

Basically every time they’re offscreen during the original series, Tien and Chiaotzu are on a My Name Is Earl-style quest to right all their wrongs, catching all the assassins the Crane School turned out (except the Crane Master, who’s smart enough to stay out of their way, plus they have mixed feelings towards him as a father figure and never tried too hard to find him) and doing community service for towns they ripped off with their anime filler protection racket. This involves a lot of farming, which gives them the idea to start a farm around the time of Buu/Super. They do this after they get married, to give themselves a place to privately settle down. Tien is really fixated on righting their karmic balance though, which is why he founds the dojo he has in Super. He insisted on including math in the curriculum this time XD And pretends he’s just “supervising” when he and Chiaotzu sit on the lessons with the teacher he hired.

Launch bonus:

Apparently it’s Toriyama Interview Canon that Launch was chasing after Tien during the whole series without ever really catching up to him. This put her on a classic American adventure Tv show path of drifting from town to town and getting caught up in helping people with their problems. After spending so much time with Goku & Krillin, Blonde Launch became less of a bank robber and more of a vigilante (though hilarity still ensues when she gets recognized in a place she crimed), so she gets into a lot of fights For Justice. Launch also gained stability in her transformations so that her memories carry over between forms and only her demeanor changes, and she can induce herself to sneeze when she decides she needs to either be more diplomatic or more ruthless. Eventually (again per Toriyama canon) she catches up with Tien and Chiaotzu at their farm and moves in with them. She flirts outrageously with Tien and is puzzled that he gets flustered but never reciprocates or explicitly rejects her, until she walks in on Tien & Chiaotzu having a romantic moment. She just smiles and says “Well, why didn’t you SAY so?” having lost most of her interest anyway over the course of all those years (she’d actually given up the search and found the farm by accident, but at that point was like “I mean…I HAVE been looking for him…”), and they all part as friends.

Oolong:

Oolong graduated high school between Dragon Ball and Z, but he doesn’t really have specific interests outside of ~girls~, plus constant fear of the world ending makes it hard to motivate yourself to plan for the future, so he basically just bummed around Capsule Corp house for most of the series relying on Bulma’s parents (he calls them “Doc” and “Ma”) for pocket money. They never expect anything from him except occasionally showing up to family dinners, but every so often Bulma will catch him and make him do odd jobs around the company to earn his keep. Once Vegeta starts living there full-time between the Cell and Buu Sagas, Oolong is too scared to stay there anymore (justifiably, Vegeta tried to cook and eat him once) and tries to ask Doc & Ma to buy him his own place, but Ma just frowns and fusses over him saying she’d be so lonely without her “special li’l guy,” and the deal goes nowhere. He tries looking for jobs, but not very hard (the pinup magazines and strip clubs turn him down), and is halfway towards crashing Yamcha and Puar’s bachelor pad when Roshi swoops in and invites him over to live on whatever Roshi’s been living on all this time (selling old treasures or doing odd jobs on the mainland like he had Krillin & Goku do in Dragon Ball). It’s an unhealthy relationship that brings out the worst habits in both of them and sometimes Krillin (including Oolong not having any incentive to try again for a real job), but they’re kept in check by their fear of 18 once she starts hanging around. Oolong at least makes a good babysitter for Marron when Krillin and 18 are out (she LOVES his shapeshifting tricks) and dutifully guards her innocence against the sin minefield that is Kame house.
