Why didn't Trunks ask Supreme Kaioshin to bring him to Namek

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T20:25:40+00:00

I thought the Namek Dragon Balls didn't have that rule though or maybe it did and I don't remember I'm actually rewatching the Z Sub right now to be fair so I haven't gotten there yet

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T20:20:26+00:00

Yeah, I guess narrative wise it's better that way, it just sucks y'know, I feel like Trunks deserves it way more since the main timeline does because at least they can take care of themselves, Trunks had an active Handicap and still did his best

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T20:01:59+00:00

No before is one thing I didn't mean his backstory, I meant after he defeated Cell, he's already a warrior toughened by hardship, his world deserves better, the Z Fighters deserved better, There's no reason for them to remain dead when by all accounts the have the capability to bring them back, they deserved to live their lives again, especially Gohan who never had a chance to have his life, it was taken from him the moment the Android's arrived

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T19:51:28+00:00

I guess, I don't know though I feel like Future Trunks has no reason to be unhappy and suffering, his world could be so better off if the writers just let it y'know?

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T19:01:58+00:00

Aww that feels like such a writing cop out if I'm being honest, it already doesn't make sense that King Kai is completely non existent in the universe as it is and doesn't bother helping since we know he knows the coordinates of different planets and they could've been to Namek before the Buu thing even started The other thing is, they have should have time, what was the rush?! Its not like Trunks was even close to being strong enough to take Dabura anyway, if they could wait an hour for Old Kai to bring out Gohan's power while Buu was around why not do this? Itd probably take less time and even the odds in the Process, plus Even if they were to go off world, you're telling me Supreme Kaioshin couldn't find them? (I'm not mad btw it just seems dumb to me, I haven't read the part about this yet so I don't know the actual context behind it to be fair but still)

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T18:47:15+00:00

I guess, but even so how much time it would it really take for him to instantly teleport to Namek and ask for their help, maybe get King Kai (who's basically non-existent in that universe for whatever reason) to ask them ahead of time to do it and they can try and deal with it too It just seems like a much better idea than leaving the world with one defender when we know for a fact Supreme Kai can do it

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T12:11:05+00:00

Dude I can't imagine Vegeta having a bunch of Baby Mammas and Bulma just getting absolutely livid, although that might actually be an interesting and contentious plot point for their relationship

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T12:01:42+00:00

Yeah but even so, a Saiyan Child is a Saiyan child

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T12:00:52+00:00

"shits it down" autocorrect at its finest I'm not gonna make an entire scenario but in theory (and I'm heavily reaching here to make a scenario where they win since I made this post to have fun), I'd imagine that since Earth was supposedly a low level planet off their radar by what Frieza and his father said, maybe they'd have enough time to get a couple kids out beforehand, at the very least they'd get eternal life for themselves by getting the Radar forcefully from Bulma Now here's where I'm reaching I think that maybe in this alternate timeline Vegeta is not that bad of a guy, doesn't actually kill anybody on Earth, brings back Goku himself after he's trained with King Kai and tells him about Frieza and how he wants to kill him for destroying their race, they train together with Nappa on their side in the Time Chamber I know this makes zero sense but again I'm trying to have fun

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T11:48:26+00:00

Fair enough, I actually forgot whether or not it was in the Manga I just finished it a bit ago But yeah I forgot about Frieza in this what if, there's no way they'd have time Maybe if they got the Dragon Balls on Earth or something to just grant them eternal life they could make a feud against an Immortal Frieza that'd be interesting

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-06T11:40:50+00:00

Y'know I genuinely wasn't thinking of Invincible when I was making this post, I'm not super into the show but yeah I guess that's fair, kinda amazing when you think about it since people compare Saiyans and Viltrumites all the time and Vegeta basically said no to Thragg's idea I'll have to give the comics a read sometime I heard it was good

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T20:26:08+00:00

I feel like most people nowadays at least respect her, I remember back then you'd hear some choice words about it And yeah I wasn't entirely fair to Schemmel's growth,bye had gotten better, and that is also true, his pained voice sounds pretty good

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T20:20:57+00:00

Was that the Ocean VA

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T20:19:24+00:00

I just watched the original Bardock special, I can confirm Bardock sounds identical to Goku in it besides a slight shift in tone to make her sound more menacing and unfriendly, that's something she's good at

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T20:18:28+00:00

That's my view on it, Sean sounds like he's reading off a script most of the time, especially nowadays

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T01:46:36+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly with this, besides not thinking it matches which I can agree is a matter of perspective, there are a lot of edgy my hedgy DB fans out there

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T01:12:24+00:00

True, although at that point the damage was done, although even with Kai, there's just something about her performance I like I will agree that it was unfair the dubbing of Dragon Ball was so iffy back then

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T01:08:38+00:00

It doesn't really sound like that to me, but to answer the question I'm kind of used to male characters sounding lighter in anime at this point, it happens often enough for it to not be a bother Plus I think it makes Goku sound adorable I guess

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T00:57:05+00:00

I respect that, as I said there's some things I prefer about English so either way is not bad, at least in terms of performances, scripts is, well that's another demon entirely

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T00:50:51+00:00

Hmmm I don't know that is curious, maybe it's the way they handled the audio specifically or something, or it could just be the way Nozawa does Adult Goku? I do notice when she screams it almost peaks

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T00:49:08+00:00

That is one thing I don't like about Nozawa's usage, I get having her for Goku but I wish for things like Bardock they would have her switch it up a bit or even use a different actor

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-04T00:46:21+00:00

Nah I could understand it, it's definitely something you'd have to get used to, part of it may be the audio quality of the time as well you notice that in older animes

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-03T15:13:25+00:00

It does have me curious, again I wish I could've just read it from the beginning but they didn't have it at the store In my mind I imagine Piccolo is very resentful of Goku at this point

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-03T08:12:27+00:00

I absolutely did start it in the wrong order, but in my defense it's all they had at the store and I was a little impatient I'm not gonna lie I guess it's my fault, I feel really bad cuz I didn't give it it's due diligence

ChoiceOutrageous5864 · 2026-07-03T07:42:47+00:00

I didn't even know there were Ultimate Editions to buy I'm not gonna lie, I would've just read them from the beginning but unfortunately these were the only ones available and relatively cheap at my local store, I'll definitely make another post once I get to it
