Gotenās pretty prominent in there, actually. The strange obsession with giving thingsĀ ācoolā names LikeĀ āGalactic Donutsā and the like? Thatās Goten. Thatās his childās imagination poking through. Also the poses; Goten, at the time, thought Gohanās Great Saiyaman was pretty cool, after all.
Trunks is more the half concerned with making an impressive entrance, making the fight more dramatic, having insults and rude gestures handy.
āSaiyans rapidly increase in strength as they fight against strong opponents, so the longer they fought, the more that gap would shrink, and it might even be possible for them to eventually turn the tables.ā –Akira Toriyama,Ā Animanga Interview, 2014
18 wants a normal life because she was a normal human being who was kidnapped, experimented upon, and turned into a madmanās instrument of revenge Thatās really all there is to it. She and 17 both want the life back that was stolen from them. Itās not even exclusive to her because sheās a woman, itās something both Androids want. Itās the reason 17 becomes a park ranger and has a family too.
Iā¦ Iām sorry, is this anon really implying that the idea of a 18 wanting, having and enjoying a simple and calm live with a loving partner and child- after going through body mutilation, suffering a complete lack of free will for god knows how long under Gero, been hunted by Vegeta and Cell who both saw her life as a ticket to a fucking prize (Cell: being perfect and Veggie: Getting his ass beat I guess) and being eaten by a goddamn cicada- is sexist? God forbid she want some stability.
I mean damn, her āmain motivationā is never a fucking man, it was FREEDOM. As in, the freedom to do whatever the hell she wants- and that includes having a family. But I mean, considering their argument kinda boils down to āa woman who has any kind of relationship with a man is almost immediately inferiorā Iām sure that doesnāt exactly resonate with them
Like oh my God, what is it with Tumblr and thinking that a āgoodā female character must be devoid of the ability to feel love. Thereās no āhidden sexismā, her character wouldnāt be improved by her being a reclusive nomad or whatever it is people that always whine about this want, her path makes sense, die mad about it.
āā āāā±ā² In this āā±ā±ā²ā² house ā±ā±āā®ā²ā² we love āāāāāā & appreciate ā±āāāāāāāāāāā² treating characters as the multi-faceted works they are and not taking a single trait or running gag and conflating it to be their entire personality ā±ā±āā³āāā®āā³ā ā²ā² āāāā»āāāāā»āāā
