I was trying to make a comic about the hospital scene, where Goku would think about apologizing to see if it would lessen his wife's anger and frustration
I was watching Invincible and for some reason Mark and Oliver's dynamic reminded me a lot of Gohan and Goten
------------------
[Spoiler warning for the most recent season]
I really like the sequence of events and dialogues that occur when Oliver ends up killing a villain in order to save his older brother. The realization that Mark has when he realizes that there are flaws in the "no kills" speech and the similarity that little Oliver is having with his father is simply incredible.
-----------------
I'm terrible at making comics and creating dialogues, so the most I could get out of my head were these two frames without any lines, just Gohan as Saiyaman (Gohan's best phase, change my mind) and Goten looking like he did something wrong.
Gohan is my favorite character of Dragon Ball when I heard this song I got like Gohan vibes. Especially when I found out it was about how our upbringing influences us the good and bad. Gohan got a lot of bad in his life like one of the few DB characters to actually experience trauma and anxiety 🤣 which the series only lightly touches. I feel like people try to think why Gohan is so okay after it all. Even though the way he grew up caused him all the pain the people he had gave him strength. He was able to grow up so great cause the good and bad. I just think it’s such a relatable thing about Gohan. Why a lot of people like him cause he was a scared child forced to deal with a lot but he managed to come up stronger. Which is inspiring! The best part he just chillin’ now! He’s not fighting no more he’s just being happy and everyone let’s him. I love that! Like everyone like oh well he already did it as a kid let him relax and be a happy person. Just love Gohan excited for his movie! I hope the animatic speaks for itself most of feelings I have cause I have a hard time explaining with words!
Hearing Goku say that he's proud of his son for fighting so bravely (despite letting things get out of hand) made me want to edit this. Plus, I like that the only two people who didn't doubt Gohan's potential in that fight were Goku and 16, and they were the ones who put their hand in the fire for that boy in this very complicated fight.
This image appeared on my Pinterest (it's a scene from the movie "Beautiful Boy"), and it ended up inspiring me to imagine a similar scene with these three!
And I love imagining Gohan being a good (the better) big brother to these two.
I was watching the fight between Gotenks vs Majin Buu again and I realized that this arc of the boys' fusion has very interesting dialogues, which inspired me to do some doodles.
• This scene would be much more impactful if half of the arc wasn't focused solely on comic relief. The boys lost EVERYTHING at this point. Trunks lost his father, his mother, his grandparents, Goten lost his mother (he saw her die), his brother (he thought he was dead), his grandfather... and his father had to return to the other world.
Then Gohan appears like an unexpected miracle, and at that moment Goten fears, he really fears that Majin Boo will kill his brother. Goten tells Trunks that they needed to do the fusion again, to help Gohan, but Trunks uses the logic that they need to wait 30 minutes to do it again. Goten says, almost crying, that they need to at least try, because he doesn't want to see his brother die, he doesn't want to lose anyone else. Trunks responds (wonderfully) that he will fight alongside Goten, even if it is useless:
But we all know Gohan humiliates Boo lol (at least at the beginning)
Even though it wasn't so well constructed, thanks to the breaking of expectations due to the consecutive jokes, I thought this dialogue was very good.
• One of DB's most incredible characters was very present in this arc. Piccolo Daimaoh!
I ended up forgetting to take a screenshot of the dialogue, but basically the following happens: The boys have just returned from a frustrating attempt to defeat Majin Buu. After listening to a lecture from their mothers, Trunks and Goten have Piccolo's attention. Trunks then asks if he could surpass his father, saying that he wanted to protect the earth just like his father did. Piccolo puts his hand on the boys' heads and says they WILL surpass their parents.
So I knew I had to draw this scene:
• Another dialogue, and discussion, that appeared at least twice in this arc was the simple fact that the two were CHILDREN. I remember one of the characters saying "oh it's okay if they die, we can resurrect them", then Bulma brilliantly says that "they're just children, he shouldn't have to experience death" and that it's something very cruel.
Guys, I don't know about you, but I thought this point was wonderful.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot of when the BOYS THEMSELVES talk about this, when they are no longer fused and in complete danger (The subtitles were in Portuguese, so I used the translator to write it in English):
With these dialogues and the few times this arc focused on following a less comedy plot, I realize how much potential this all had. The great evolution this could generate for the boys and all the rest of the Z warriors.
When I realized this, I thought "I need to talk about"
• And that's it, I hope you enjoyed the drawings and the long tiring texts :")
I know that my main focus on this blog is Dragon Ball, and that posting something about Naruto is completely random, but I couldn't help but get upset once again with the classic character designs in Boruto. (lol)
And this time I was so upset that I ended up editing this scene from the anime, where I try to fix Iruka and make him look nice to me lol
I thought it was funny and felt like sharing it, sorry :")
• Original (look how they massacred my boy):
• My Edit :D!
anyway, it's nothing wow, but I feel at peace now :')
[A thought about Gohan's transformation scene in the Super Hero movie. There will be spoilers for the scene]
Maybe I'm wrong in this thought, but recently I was seeing more about how Gohan became SSJ2 and how the scene was repeated in the Super Heros movie.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that Gohan has achieved a new transformation thanks to the possible glimpse of seeing his master, Piccolo, going from this to better. However, I can't deny the fact that this seems so simple or cliché. Dragon Ball now has, in my opinion, major problems with building narratives and scenarios, with giving the right purpose to these new powers reaching
Of course, wanting to be stronger, having a very overwhelming feeling of anger, among others, are reasons, but I don't know if they are good enough.
For Gohan's new transformation, I really wanted it to have something connected to 16's speech about protecting living beings and nature itself. When I visualized a scene in such a way, I almost got emotional
Imagine with me:
in the movie scene, the fight against Cell Max is happening, everyone is trying to help, but the ugly giant is too resistant. This is when it is suggested that Orange Piccolo will fight Cell Max while Gohan gathers Ki to hit the enemy. Everyone starts to help to distract Cell and give Gohan time, it's a lot of pressure but he needs to have enough strength to end everything. Half of the friends are down, leaving only Orange Piccolo to fight against. Gohan doesn't know what he should do, he fears his master's death. He tries to intervene, but Piccolo says he would stop the enemy no matter what.
Gohan is anxious watching that, he can't look away from that scene. It is at this moment that I imagine that 16's speech being put into practice would be a great addition. Don't voice 16's words there, but rather expose Gohan's thoughts.
Him thinking about these struggles, these losses, how it was just so destructive. The entire scenery around him is almost reduced to dust, all nature, living beings. His friends are injured, his master is dying, he is unable to concentrate to charge his own Ki. So a desire to want to protect, save them from that injustice.
Note that at no point would 16 be mentioned, but the entire philosophy of Android would be present in Gohan's thoughts. The notion of how things are around, the notion that that enemy (in exact form, just different colors), in the not so distant past, would destroy the earth and made Goku sacrifice himself. The great lesson that Gohan learned in that fight comes to light in this one, almost like a redemption for a guilt that he could carry inside himself.
And then comes the scene of Piccolo being lifted into the sky by Cell Max, apparently dead. Gohan lost all his concentration, his Ki stopped emanating.
In the film, a red stripe simply appears behind Gohan and he transforms into rage.
But in our imagination, there would be a few seconds of silence, as if Gohan wanted to hear anything other than Cell Max screaming. He's not sure of anything, he doesn't know what to do, he's in shock.
Imagine, dear reader, if in this destroyed scenario there was only the sound of flapping wings. We wouldn't see where it came from, we wouldn't know if it was actually a bird in real life or if it was just something in Gohan's mind. We would only see the next scene of the transformation, the streak of red light, the seconds of silence before Cell Max looked confused and Gohan simply exploded.
Of fury? I dunno. But it would certainly be an explosion filled with many feelings. In this transformation, instead of raising his face while in tears, Gohan raises his face with a serene, almost frightening expression. This would be much more impactful if I had more preparation, I think.
Well, that was a slight rant about this whole scene. I really thought she could have been much better and this was the way I imagined I could bring more emotions to this scene.
(Thanks for reading and sorry for the spelling mistakes)
what if badrock and other saiyans escape to planet earth by taking his family and also prince vegeta for exlie?
Well, I believe that if the Saiyans had fled to Earth, humans would have met a terrible fate. Mainly considering the nature that Saiyans have, of dominating planets and being brutal.
It wouldn't be a good story for Earthlings, but it would be a new beginning for Saiyans, I think.
I don't know if Bardock would have adapted to planet Earth. If he would be one of the few to see the planet as a new home, along with humans, or if he would like to dominate everything and destroy Earthlings
It's good to remember that I'm considering the Saiyans presented in DBZ. I don't follow the dbs materials much, but I know there was a lot added to the Saiyans--
