Dragon ball super broly movie Goku stills

Manda quem pode, obedece quem tem juízo.

you were a touch of lips that breathed air into my stuttering lungs an arm around my shoulders that sparked my fluttering heart a first-aid kit stitching my anger back together a cool press of fingers swiping gentle against the fever and then you were the whisper of a bullet guarding my six the glint of a sniper scope that struck hope, not fear the heavy march of boots always right behind mine

it was you. it was you. it was always you.

and i always knew i would have died a hundred times over without you.

you are echoes in the empty chambers of my heart screams in the air that clamour in my lungs a nightmare repeating like a skipping record you are still seventy years of empty spaces a ghost that still lives and breathes and screams a memory that lingers in my every footstep

i never did learn how to live without you.

and i should have known when my heart stubbornly kept on beating that you were not gone.

Unpopular Opinion Re:Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F is great; many of its detractors are the ones with the problem.

And I'm not trying to insult them by saying that; it's actually an understandable logical fallacy they've fallen prey to, but it's a fallacy all the same and I need to highlight it. Basically, many fans say Resurrection F "hasn't aged well" or is the weakest of the new Dragon Ball movies or is even outright bad, and their arguments all come down to the same thing: there's not much story or character development or meaningful changes to the status quo. It's "filler".

The fallacy? Dragon Ball Super, which came around after this movie, is responsible for this line of thinking. Back at the time of Battle of Gods, there was no expectation that any such movies were going to be pivotal chapters in an ongoing narrative. There was no guarantee that we would see Beerus and Whis again after the movie kind of sent them off in a pretty close-ended way, or that we'd hear anything more of this "Super Saiyan God" form. And while we did end up getting those elements in Resurrection F, that doesn't change the fact that beyond them no character grew or changed in Battle of Gods either. No real lessons were learned, no big insights gleamed other than Videl being pregnant with a quarter-Saiyan child (something that was already a foregone conclusion) and the lengths Vegeta is actually willing to throw his pride away for his loved ones' sake, and the most radically changed characters from how they've been before were the Pilaf Gang who were completely tangential to the story! Resurrection F is much the same: nobody learns anything, we get something of a new insight into Vegeta's character and discover that Beerus approved Planet Vegeta's destruction, and a (sort of) new character is introduced (Jaco), but otherwise it's a close-ended movie. The main difference is that its got even less of a narrative than Battle of Gods, it's an action movie with a thin excuse plot. And that's exactly what it was marketed as. Nobody was fooled in 2015 as to what the movie was going to be: just an entertaining action flick where Goku and Freeza will finally have that big rematch on Earth that got cut off (pun intended) by Future Trunks before. As a movie, it achieved precisely what it needed to.

But then Super came out, which reframed Battle of Gods as a genuine new beginning of a serialized narrative. The other Super anime arcs (Champa, Goku Black, Tournament of Power), two Super manga-exclusive arcs (Moro, Granolah), and two Super movies (Broly, Super Hero) now all connect to one another. And in this new context, Resurrection F's only important holdovers were Jaco and the newly introduced forms (Super Saiyan Blue and Golden Freeza), and one could credibly argue those could have been introduced elsewhere without the need for Resurrection F's story. So now it feels more like filler, but again, Toriyama and all the people who made it had no idea of knowing that at the time of its creation. You can't just say "they should've not bothered and just brought Freeza back for the first time in the Tournament of Power" because there was no plan for the Tournament of Power to even be a thing back then! Just as for all Toriyama knew Beerus and Whis would never return after Battle of Gods had it not been successful, he had no idea if this return of Freeza would be the only one he'd be able to have or not. Context is everything here.

Tl;dr: Resurrection F is supposed to just be a fun movie. So enjoy it as a fun movie.

ANOTHER fic!

i can’t believe i actually got like 3 fics done in a span of a week or so (even if they’re short lmao)

summary: “Why do you love me?”

gochi again ofc. lots of fluff.

just a sketch.

haven’t drawn anything in a while so i decided to get back to it with (a very sexy) Goku

(Chichi was me the entire time)

Goku Redraw 👹✨

.

Another old redraw, I forgot I draw this, I really love it 🗿✨

.

↓You can see the drawing process here <3 ↓

Submerged

in which Goku slowly realizes he’s deep in something called “love.”

another fic lol. was working on this way before Fluffy spikes and i finally finished

We dont talk enough about the fact that Goku wasnt born strong. Gohan, Vegeta, Broly, Goten, Trunks... all born with innate strength. But Goku... Goku was weak. His entire life growing up, there was ALWAYS someone stronger than him.

For a saiyan to be outmatched by earthlings... ridiculous. But he was. Several times over. Every bit of strength Goku has, he had to work for, train relentlessly for. Its easy to forget because hes so strong now and continiously comes out ahead. But thats the POINT.

Vegeta grew up knowing he was the pride of the saiyan race, born strong, elite, a prodigy. He was hopelessly outmatched by frieza and some of his army, but for a saiyan, vegeta was the strongest (or so he believed).

Because the saiyans put so much belief into power you were born with, power you were destined to have. You either had strength or you didnt. And Goku didnt. So he was third class. His destiny wasnt power, it was weakness.

Its why Vegeta is so constantly thrown off by and therefore obsessed with Goku in the beginning. Because how could someone born so weak be THIS strong? It didnt make sense.

Then we have Gohan, born with incredible hidden reserves of power. Unlike Goku, Gohan was born with potential. His strength was always there. And sure, he had to work incredibly hard to unlock it but its a story arc we keep seeing repeated with gohan. Either its unlocked with anger or someone unlocks it for him (the grand elder, old kai, etc.)

And then Goten and Trunks, both super saiyan by the age of 7. Power came EASY to them. It was as natural as breathing. Goku, Vegeta, and even Gohan all struggled to reach super saiyan. It took a toll. But Trunks and Goten take that power from literal legend and make it a game.

No one has ever had to work as hard as Goku to achieve strength. And you can argue with me on this all day long if you want to. He didnt have hidden powers. There were no hidden reserves, no one to unlock his innate abilities. When he was a child, his unnatural strength compared to human made him special. But for a saiyan, goku was one of the lowest of their race.

Every bit of strength, every morsel of power in gokus body, was built through training. He didnt unlock hidden potentials, HE CREATED them. Its why Goku is the mortal who figures out how to unlock ultra instinct. Because he almost never won a battle purely based off a sheer power, no. Goku had to be smart, needed to be clever. He was forced to hone technique just as much as power, was taught by all his masters the importance of harnessing his mind as well as his body. He grew up meditating, sensing energy, learning not to rely on his eyes, but all his senses. He was training to filter out his own extra unnecessary movements all the way back when he first met Korin and then later again with Kami.

Goku lost fights a lot. All the time. But everytime he lost, he learned. Because he was forced too. Because when Goku lost, there was no backup. He was it. And so he would HAVE to come back stronger, have to find the way to win. Or everyone would be dead.

Maybe its just me but i just think theres something incredibly special about a saiyan labeled as "weak," a saiyan no one bothered to pay any mind to being the first to become legend. He avenged their entire race. That little boy with a tail, born with a power level of 2, became the strongest of them all.

short, fluffy one shot!

summary: Goku loves head scratches + his hair is incredibly soft

I write to:

- Say the things I can never say.

- Hear the things that I know no one will ever tell me.

- Release emotions.

- Feel emotions.

- Escape reality.

- And pretend that it's not my life that I am living but rather the fantasy life I've created with my own mind and my own words.

🧡 Like father like son 🧡

Quick redraw of them 🥺>>>

If Goku calls you dumb just pack it up man

(Dbs spoilers)

I love translators translating manga directly to English and NOT TRANSLATING THE FUCKING PUNCHLINE OF THE JOKE???

It was supposed to be this:

It’s a play on words that only really works in Japanese, it’s the same exact reason Gohan was even named Gohan. They were talking about lunch and Gohan started laughing so they named him after lunch lol.

He didn’t forget she existed. Goku’s whole schtick is that he takes things at face value. It’s the same as the kissing thing. Goku wasn’t talking about kissing, he was talking about getting fed like a baby bird.

The translators seem to always misinterpret this and it’s getting annoying.

I honestly think people give Goku too much crap for not “understanding Gohan” in the cell saga. Like ya, it was kinda his fault to an extent, but look at it from Goku’s pov:

In the saiyan saga, Gohan came back to help fight even after Goku said to stay away

Gohan begged to go to Namek to get his friends back, even yelling at his own mother to do so

Gohan refused to leave at first when Goku went super saiyan, saying he wanted to help Goku fight Frieza

Gohan trained with him and piccolo for three straight years and was happy with it

Gohan trained with Goku in the time chamber and trained so hard that he unlocked a form even Goku hadn’t

Gohan *yelled* at Goku because he thought Goku was going easy on him during training. I think this one is a BIG thing people miss

I think some people forget that we’re viewing these characters from an outside lens. Goku doesn’t know what Gohan went through when training with Piccolo (cause he DIED protecting him). The FIRST time someone tells Goku Gohan actually doesn’t like fighting, is in the Cell saga when Gohan is literally in the middle of the fight with Cell (correct me if I’m wrong but I think this is right). There’s a reason he looks so genuinely surprised when Piccolo says this. And when this happens, Goku immediately steps up and tries to stop the fight.

I’m just saying, if I was in Goku’s shoes, I don’t think it would have crossed my mind that Gohan doesn’t like fighting either.

Also, a decade after Goku found this out, he still takes it into account whenever he asks Gohan about something related to fighting. I’d say now in the story, he knows Gohan fairly well

Autistic Anime Boys Side B Round 1 Match 23

Propaganda:

Kensuke -

"Kensuke is a slept-on autistic king. His special interests are military hardware and the EVAs. He gets very excited it when he sees the EVAs or things like aircraft carriers in real life, and can rattle off details about them on the spot from memory. He has a collection of military surplus equipment too, enough to go camping with Shinji. The way he shares this interest with him is really cute, and shows a side of his character that I think is good autistic representation; he's one of the most compassionate characters in the show, and one of the few who is kind to Shinji for entirely self disinterested reasons. He has trouble understanding the psychological effects of EVA piloting however, making him autistic asf."

Goku -

Has a Special interest in fighting that he dedicated his entire life to. And he tend to try to solve problem only through that special interest, even though easier alternative exist in-universe

Is very oblivious of social convention and has trouble relating and understanding others (especially as a child)

Has a very strong sense of justice

Has a very "black and white" view of morality. Someone is either a good guy or a bad guy, again this is especially true when he was a child. To be clear he still understands that someone good can do bad things and vice-versa, and also that a bad person can become a good one. But he still doesn't really take into account that there's also a "grey" area of morality

Like to stim :]

Always wear his gi when possible

Is very cool and really isn't it enough for him to be claimed by the autistic community ?
