#garatz

[godslush]

A lesser but somewhat founded headcanon of mine is that Zysa - described as a housewife “strong enough to tame her Saiyan husband” but otherwise not directly referenced as related to anyone across any of the bios - is actually Garatz’ wife and Nazz’ mother. The only real in-game hint is that the three can be found fighting together on Floors 4 and 5.

But if I wanna go full tinfoil-hat, her name in Japanese is ザイサ (Zaisa), which may be a reordering of “zaasai” which is a kind of pickled vegetable (榨菜/Zha cai), while “nazuke” (菜漬け, the possible origin of Nazz’ name (ナズ) if it wasn’t meant to be a modification of ‘nasu’ for eggplant) is also a kind of pickled vegetable.

Jury’s still out on Garatz’ name (ガラッツ - Garattsu), though, though ‘zuke’ is a common suffix for pickles and ‘tsukemono’ is also pickles, and ‘gari’ is pickled ginger. There might be something else less convoluted/contrived at work with his name that’s just gone over my head (and if anyone knows, please share!), but he’s established to be Nazz’ dad in text so trying to tie his name to a theme isn’t totally necessary, but knowing DB writers...

In third grade the fansubbed VHS I had for the movie spelled it “Big Ghetti Star” so this kind of wrote itself.

I survived an awful day at work knowing I was coming home to draw this and subject you all to it.

This joke had to be made somehow and there’s only one dad brave enough to do it

And, as I said I would, my B-Tier unfused team, otherwise known as “Nazz tries to make friends and her dad tags along to embarrass her and tell awful jokes to their opponents.”
