Dragonball Fanfiction

When have I been mean?

...Okay, fair enough. Sorry.

It's okay, I was just playing.

"Tales of the Monkey Queen" Chapter 44 on AO3. In which we hopefully answer all of your questions regarding Chi-Chi. If we didn't, feel free to ask them.

Didn't see that coming, did ya?

Wait, why was Yamcha's Kamehameha reddish-white?

8t was a concept introduced way back when Krillin did his first Kamehameha, that unless you were a master of the technique, the Kamehameha was always unique to the user, whether kg was the color or the form of the blast. It was mentioned with him, Grandpa Gohan, Suno, Ten, Yamcha and Launch. Basically everyone but Goku and Roshi.

I know it isn't canon but I thought it was a neat concept.

Does that mean someone will get that infamous Airbending Kamehameha from Evolution?

No.

Well to me it's basically the exact same thing - completely pointless departure from canon - so I don't see why you'd be offended by the implication.

...I feel bad saying this but you have a point.

Just gonna kinda muscle past those and say that if you were curious about the size differential, think Big Barda and Mr. Miracle◊ or Superman and Wonder Woman from the New Frontier.◊

I do like when the writers remember that Wonder Woman is supposta be a goddamn amazon.

Also Big Barda once did a porno with Superman. I think that's gone with the reboot, but it actually happened.

Everything is great! Everyone is happy! Nothing bad is going to... oh.

Wait, how was Gohan born? And why is Bulma trying to take over the company and remove her father from it?

Gohan happened in chapter 43. Bulma is trying to take over Capsule Corp because she's power hungry.

...did you have to make the device well, that?

Have to? Probably not. But it was funnier to do it that way

So why is Bulma so power hungry in this anyway; did something happen that lead up to that?

It's just kind of part of the character I/we built for her, it's a combination of greed, ambition, her superintelligence and her frankly-canon terrible morality. It's never enough to have, she will always find herself wanting more. More knowledge, more wealth, more respect, more control.

Basically, it's Alternative Character Interpretation, but also making some stuff up because Bulma's not a megalomaniac.

"Tales of the Monkey Queen" Chapter 45 on AO3. In which we wrap things up before the start of the Saiyan Saga.

It's late on my end because I feel like shit and decided to sleep.

Also, good on Pilaf for finally getting some happiness in his life.

There's a difference between immoral and supervillain.

Bulma's supposed to like her dad. She's incredibly selfish, but she's not power-hungry.

There's no point to actively taking over from her dad anyway. All she has to do is outlive him.

She may have Vegeta's arrogance, and ego, and selfishness and pettiness, but she doesn't have his drive or ambition. She is, fundamentally, not an ambitious character.

Like, Vegeta surpassed his dad as a warrior even as a kid when his dad was still alive, but he didn't murder King Vegeta Sr. because. There was no point. All Vegeta would have had to do was wait.

With Frieza and Goku, there's a significant difference there, because waiting won't put Vegeta back on top again. Vegeta doesn't mind a status quo when that status quo will eventually be to his advantage.

It's not like if her dad isn't the head of Capsule Corp, she's going to kill him, or that she's plotting her father's murder. Yes, she could wait for Dr. Brief to die, but that's time that could be spent being in power now.
