seeing baby dende be so cute and innocent makes it even funnier to me how on piccolos first day alive he hatched with an evil grin and set someones house on fire. dende is like cooing and giggling and at the same ripe age of infant piccolo was committing arson
Imagine Dende going through puberty, getting tired of all the universe-destroying-shit he has to endure on a regular basis thanks to certain space monkeys, almost breaking down and then he reminds himself that he is a Guardian of Earth and he gotta work as a helper
Kudo x Yoichi kinda slays ngl. "One For All emerged from the Will to resist my brother, but... the moment you reached your hand out to me... was when One For All was truly born." is one of the gayest things I ever heard.
wait until you hear about Yoichi getting Kudo pregnant in canon
I was doing some research on the attitude towards tattoos in Japan for ADKoT and I have expanded on a fic idea.
You remember my fic idea list for TWoT? Number 7 was: A modern AU where AFO has been secretly scaring off all of Yoichi's boyfriends. It's actually pretty easy as even without his quirk, he's still terrifying. Then one day, Yoichi brings a certain spiky-haired man home, and not only does he look like the rebel bad boy from every father's nightmare (very different from the previous nerdy cowards Yoichi's dated before), but none of his previous tricks can drive him off.
Well, the attitude towards tattoos in Japan is basically: "Hey, that guy has a tattoo" "He's in the Yakuza." This attitude is starting to change in the modern era, but these things take time.
Anyway, imagine if Second had tattoos and stuff, and AFO thinks he's in the yakuza and freaks out because he's actually the BOSS of a yakuza group and is worried Second will rat him out to his brother, who has no idea of about AFO's criminal business.
Second is not in the yakuza, he just got tattoos because A. He thought they looked cool and B. Third is a tattoo artist and he wanted to support his best friend's business. Really, he's just a rebel on a motorcycle with a heart of gold and secret soft side, which is why Yoichi fell in love with him.
But AFO doesn't know this. Cue shenanigans as he tries to prove that Second is in the yakuza without exposing himself as the boss of one.
You are the God of Death, you are summoned by an cult to smite down the Goddess of Life’s forces in a war between the two faiths…you are extremely angered cause the Goddess is actually your wife since time immemorial and today is your anniversary
forever absolutely unmitigatedly obsessed with dbz romance because we get massive strong alien himbo x ox king's angry chinese daughter, extremely short bald guy who is scared of everything x hot tall blonde robot girl who could kill him in an instant, the alien himbo's nerd infp son x martial arts master girlfriend, selfish & prideful alien prince who answers to nobody x rich mortal bossy wife who orders him around
what more could i ask for
It has a familiar theme of fighting for survival, but instead of kicking ppl off the ring ‘smash bros’ style, it’ll expand more on actual survival skills and not just fighting. The GODs would determine the winner by ‘Survival of the Fittest’!, which Universe is worthy & fit enough to live! A magnificent spectacle for the GODs, that is until their Universe gets erased
It’ll take place on a designated indestructible arena or a straight up planet with barriers, packed with variety of wildlife and ecosystems, your job is to survive! Not only from combat with other contestants, but the harsh conditions of the arena too. Frozen Tundras, Deathly Deserts, Woeful Wastelands, F*ckYouEverythingWantsToEatYou Jungles, you name it! To add more suspense, the Zenos can alter the arena with their IPad thingies. The whole tournament will be monitored and televised thoroughly for days, available to watch for all Universes.
The Rules:
•Mostly similar rules with the OG, power-ups & fusions allowed, NO Flight except for winged ppl, it’ll be more of a challenge to get around. Vehicles/Animals are allowed because I miss the Toriyama bizarre transportation themes.
•Healing items are allowed, eg: Senzu Beans, Capsules. Similar to Hunger Games, extra items can be sent to the contestants, from GODs, Spectators from back home, but there’s a limit. (Zeno be watchin 👁👁)
•Screw it, weapons are allowed, the point of the Tournament is who can survive whatever they’re thrown into. So, go absolutely ballistic, contestants! (eg: The Power Pole would be an amazing weapon! And it’s a nostalgic comeback!)
•Like the Hunger Games, you can kill other contestants. (It’ll be so cool and gives out a feeling of dread, to show the fallen contestants in big hologram screens in the sky of the arena with dystopian Omni-King anthems) But even if it’s allowed, try not to kill your own Universe contestants, the Universe with the most survivors win! Or if only one survives.
•One limitless hidden test wish to the winner. A selfish wish would get you erased, even after what you’ve been through to survive.
Cool things to mention:
•Goku could show off more than fighting, his survival skills, that he learnt since he’s small from living in the mountains!
•The other Zfighters have exemplary survival skills too, they’ve trained in various harsh environments on Earth, that aided their physical, spiritual and mental state. Eg, A17 ranges a damn Monster Island, Piccolo hangs out in Wastelands and survives only on water, Tien trains in the high mountains, etc
•Smart Contestants like Universe 3 could show off how intelligence & Tech can provide an advantage in survival too, like in Hunger Games
•Hit The Assassin would be a f*ckin menace
•Idk, most of them are a menace when I think about it (Universe 11 is still a big threat)
•There are Wolf & Fox-like, humanoid creatures in Universe 9, so they’re perfect for this setting
•I wanna see how Caulifla’s street smarts, crime gang abilities take affect in the survival Tournament
•In Hunger Games, it’s normal to team up with other Districts and betrayal comes after. So diff Universe teaming up and betraying eachother would be a sight to see, Frieza betraying Frost would have much more impact!
•Instead of being heavily prohibited, Frost’s poison would work WONDERS
•Finally, I just wanna see Frieza scavenge for crabs in rivers like the actual lizard he is or sum shid

As always, I’m not putting down the OG Tournament Of Power, I’m just doing a harmless What-If👍 Feel free to contribute or give constructive feedback!
Edit: NOW WITH ART, I’ll keep adding more if I have any
One for All Band AU! Generation 1. Banjo's talking about fight night (code for "We are vigilantes disguising ourselves, but really effectively, as a rock band") which Toshinori enthusiastically wants to participate in. Torino and Bruce are gossiping.
"I found this during a supply run and... I know you like sweets, so. Y'know..."
"Thank you, my hero."
"And I know it's Valentine's day, so..."
"Yes, I'll be your Valentine."
"Thank you."
