I wish we had more media showcasing the body language of saiyan tails. Only having the classic, the minuscule amount that appeared at the beginning of Z, GT (which isn’t even considered canon), and the smallest amount that appears in DBS: Broly. That may read out like a lot, but it’s actually very little
-I didn’t forget about SDBH but that ain’t canon, and most of the time they’re scrapping so we only get to see how the tail would swerve around while in battle, not really the body language side of things
No matter, I still analyzed (to the best of my ability) all the media showcasing the body language of Saiyan tails, and compiled it to a chart of sorts for myself so I could keep tabs on consistency for my art whenever I draw the silly tails
It’s extremely brief and messy of what it could be, but I thought to share it with you guys. Maybe it could provide useful for some
Nopatzu belongs to me while Fridged belongs to @airplaneear2
To explain Nopatzu’s lore a bit:
She’s a prev Mid Class U7 warrior that accidentally followed through a Time Patroller’s portal back to Conton City, saw too much, and was basically roped into being a time patroller
Nopatzu used to work under King Cold and a bit under Frieza as well. Hence why the “can I REALLY trust you?” air towards other of the Frieza Race/Icejins
Xeno Vegeta got assigned Nopatzu to essentially “civilize” her into the new conditions. Since he used to know the “old way” of saiyans, and he himself had to change away from that exact nature. He also trained her to increase her power since she had gone from one of stronger ones, to the weaker ones. Which did take a toll, and still bothers hers and eats away at her consciousness
She’s been a time patroller for a rather short time, only 6 months. Still mainly trains user Xeno Vegeta as she understands/relates to him the most. As well admires him the most (similiar to how Cabba, but in a more subtle way. In front of him she doesn’t show SQUAT tries to play cool and doesn’t want to let anyone know)
She can only go SSJ, which is still unmastered. Can also go to SSJ4 and is more mastered than SSJ due to her being an expert with the Oozaru/great ape transformation. She can only access SSJ4 via a special Senzu though
THE SPECIAL SENZU: Instead of healing and restoring stamina, essentially works like assisted rope rock climbing. Sometimes they may nudge you to get through a part you alone couldn’t otherwise, but it’s also your own doing to find a grip and stay there after the nudge
Nopatzu is also sent to aid Z-Broly missions quite often (her first mission was also a Z-Broly mission) due to her having a power level low enough to not rile up Z-Broly to become more powerful, and make it a bigger of an issue for the other Z-fighters to deal with. And resilient enough to survive the brutal beating. Essentially she is a meat shield and power battery to help the other Z-fighters win—
She absolute despises the hell outta Z-Broly, and is also traumatized to an extent 😭
