A lot of Link’s adventures begin with him sleeping. Which might explain why Zelda is leaving beds all over Hyrule.

Thats Oolong inst he?

She's a funny girl😂❤️

I was thinking a lot about the “Gohan was out-of-character during the Cell Games” thing.

Quite a few people on the Kanzenshuu community seem to think it’s the case, and they’re generally the people who understand this show the best. Because they don’t watch the dub or something even like DBZA and get misconceptions about the franchise because of it. 

(Not that I’m saying you shouldn’t watch the dub or DBZA. But remember they’re not the original story. They’re adaptations.)

And despite everything…I still don’t agree. And sometimes I feel like I have to agree at some point. That it’s just the objective truth. But so far, I can’t.

I think the big deal people point to is having Gohan try to end the battle with Cell peacefully. It’s a nice idea, but the inconsistency is that normally, Gohan had no issues with fighting someone even with the intent to kill. He did that with Nappa, with Vegeta, with the Ginyu Force and with Freeza. He never stopped and tried to end those battles peacefully, to reach a compromise, because he knew or at least assumed that they were all terrible monsters beyond the reach of common sense.

So the issue is, why would Gohan suddenly decide Cell was worth saving? Why would he explain they should stop fighting unless he wants to get killed? Like he wanted to spare Cell’s life?

Cell was presented like every other villain up until that point. He was ruthless. He killed without mercy. He massacred entire cities, absorbed the Androids without a second thought, and nearly killed Piccolo, if Goku hadn’t managed to save him. And when someone kills Piccolo, you’d think Gohan would know Cell was an irredeemable monster.

And with the Cell Games, Cell explains that if he wins, he’ll destroy every human being on the planet. That’s adequate motivation to decide “OK, Cell needs to die. And he needs to die NOW.”

But during their fight, Gohan then says he doesn’t have that motivation. He doesn’t want to hurt him. And the question is why? (Besides Toriyama trying to create a character arc for the final battle.)

I think the common fandom explanation is that Gohan believes that maybe Cell isn’t that evil. Once he becomes Perfect, he lets Vegeta and Trunks live, as well as Krillin and 16, even though he could have easily destroyed them. He gives the heroes time to train and recuperate. He tries to be fair. And, importantly, Gohan never sees the terrible things Cell does first-hand. He doesn’t witness his massacres, is training during most of his fights, and even when Cell seemingly kills Piccolo, the fact that Goku saves him almost immediately can make you believe it never happened. I know a lot of people actually forget it happens. Why wouldn’t it be the same for Gohan?

And the other explanation I can think of is the fact that, against Cell, Gohan is older. He’s more mature. Against the Saiyans and Freeza, he was 5 years old. He fights the Saiyans and Freeza because people tell him they’re evil, and because he witnesses them first-hand hurting the people he cares about. He doesn’t have much agency, and when given a chance to think for himself, he sees Nappa ripping off Tenshinhan’s arm and Oozaru Vegeta torturing Goku’s injured body and Freeza impaling Krillin by his horns, and then his 5-year-old’s logic clearly goes to “Alright. I have to fight this guy, because he’s clearly evil. Like other people told me.”

Against Cell, Gohan is 9-11 (depending on what canon you believe), and spent a year training, completely isolated from what was going on. He’s looking at Cell from an entirely different perspective, with a more developed brain and more time to think about the repercussions of his actions (that is, if he has to fight and even kill Cell). He’s the one who wants to be a scholar, so he’s the one you’d expect to be more willing to use his brain. And maybe overthink things.

When he fights Cell, for one of the first times in his life, he has agency. He looks at the problem, and realises he has a choice. He doesn’t have to do what his father says, or what Piccolo says, or what his mother says, or even what Cell says. And he does something no one was expecting. He looks at Cell, thinks that “even if he’s evil, he might not want to keep fighting for no reason”, and tries to stop their battle before it fully begins.

It’s just so interesting to me. Some people say it’s out-of-character, but for me, this is the first time Gohan starts truly becoming a character. Not a plot device, not “the kid with the hidden power”, not the audience surrogate, but a fully-realised character. One who, when given a choice, would rather not resort to violence. One who actually feels appropriate to his dream of being a scholar and his more polite manner of speaking.

If you keep looking at this in terms of whether it’s an inconsistency or not, you miss out on such unique moments. You miss out on opportunities for the franchise to grow.

It was why I tried to defend Goku’s character, inconsistencies and all. I used the “in real life, people aren’t consistent” excuse in one of my videos, which I know is a bit of a reach, but it’s a nice idea. I actually don’t mind if things aren’t 100% consistent, as long as it doesn’t harm the character itself. And as long as it doesn’t make other parts of the series retroactively painful to watch.

(Like, you know. Everything where Gohan is written as the main character.)

These bad boys can fit so many trope subversions in them

Fun Dragon Ball headcanons

Goku and Vegeta are experienced with video games because of their sons. They even sometimes play them together. Goku's favorite is Sonic the Hedgehog and Vegeta's Mortal Kombat. Vegeta is usually the victor in their matches.

Bulma makes up to Vegeta by letting him give Bulla a middle name. He picks Eschalot of course. He chooses this name after a famous Saiyan princess. Princess Eschalot was known as the ideal Saiyan princess: strong, intelligent, brave, beautiful, and a fierce warrior. She refused to marry and decreed that she only would if the suitor beat her in combat. Not only did she defeat each and every one, she even killed them.

The gang sometimes go to Yamcha's baseball games. The kids even have his baseball cards.

Piccolo's favorite water is from watermelons. Dende's is coconut.

Trunks and Bulla are grossed out when they learn their mother and Uncle Yamcha used to date.

Goku sometimes stops by Tien's school to observe or participate in lessons.

Goku and Chichi planted their own apple tree in their backyard shortly after they married. It's still there all these years later.

Vegeta is very approving towards Mai as a match for Trunks, especially since finding out she was an assassin.

Goku likes to bring Chichi souvenirs from his adventures. They could be a stone from a foreign planet, a seashell from the ocean, or a flower from the mountains.

Vegeta is a secret Taylor Swift fan. He listens to her music when he's training or thinking by himself.

The children like Broly and love to play with him.

Goku can be a jealous husband in a subtle way. If he notices a man checking Chichi out or trying to flirt with her, he will hold her hand and refer to her as his wife or use endearing names towards her.

As far as the public is concerned, Vegeta's a cryptid. Everyone knows his name and recognize him as Bulma Briefs' husband, but that's about it. Nobody knows who exactly he is, where he came from, or how he and Bulma met and got together. It's even more difficult since journalists are too scared of him to approach him for an interview.

Since he can remember, Goku has had dreams where he is floating in a yellow void, surrounded by large shadows of people and muffled voices. Most of the time, he sees and hears a small and friendly woman, a large man with a deep voice, or a short child who likes to knock on glass. Goku doesn't realize until many years later that these are memories of his time in his incubator and the people he was seeing/hearing were his parents and young Raditz.

"Hungry like a Saiyan" or "eat like a Saiyan" are common metaphors among certain alien races.

Krillin stays in touch with his Buddhist roots. He visits temples, even his old temple where he was raised. He sometimes brings 18 and Marron with him.

While it's not shown, Launch does stay in touch with everyone.

Chichi speaks fluent Cantonese and Mandarin. She personally teaches Gohan and Goten from a young age. Goku has even picked up some terms here and there. When she’s angry enough, Chichi will curse in either language.

Yeah,there really should have more of them

Given that she was literally born from a "goddess" I'm supprised there aren't more "Aloy is a demigod(des)" AUs
