![]() ![]() If you're a scientist you have other things to do then following this super training program you have developed 24/7.ĭB tech can be very interesting. It would just also require a willingness to undergo surgery completely taking apart your own body.Īnd if you want to go for a training regime, that's significantly less proven and would still require a ton of work. In terms of focusing on fighting power that's pretty darn good. Each android could have killed him with both arms tied behind their back. DBZ Frieza used to be one of the strongest beings in the Galaxy by a wide margin. Each android he created for DBZ was strong enough to bring space-empires to their knees. Not wanting to be personally able to bench press a planet is hardly a sign of lacking intelligence.īut Gero actually was rather focused on fighting directed research. ![]() Bulma's Dragonradar/time machine/Gravity room have all contributed to plot progression in some way or another. The original DB also has stuff you can pull on to add different things to the world/characters if you want.Ĥ) Capsules are incredibly useful, even if they don't help you blow up a planet. If characters feel like NPCs, it's the writer's job to flesh them out to a degree that makes them feel like actual characters. Your characters can do things other then fighting in DBZ. Or if things have to focus on the fighting try giving them some attempt at clawing their way upwards that isn't just the biggest boom (Even if they fail).ģ) Basically the same as 2). Let them have a life outside the constant fighting and training that is shown. Fighting power really doesn't need to be the only thing on a character's mind. So you can have personal modifications/power ups come at a cost that the character might not be willing to pay.Ģ) Then make them actual characters. It worked, but he had to sacrifice the majority of his life span to have his wish granted. He wished to be the strongest in the universe. Needing to have them available to be ready for one emergency or another, or just making some more restrictions for them.įor a more canonical reason you could use what happened with one of the characters in the current arc. General reasons can be needing Bulma's/the Dragonradar's help to find them, since it's otherwise pretty hard. Next thing is when are you setting it? Dependent on the time line things can be more or less crazy, but going by things mentioned I'm assuming Super.ġ) Yeah, kind of. Even without going full AU quite a few things can be added or interpreted about a setting in fanfiction. Hm, the first thing to say that comes to mind is 'don't be afraid to be creative'. Perhaps it would be possible to do one if I went the AU route, but that's a lot of work when I wasn't planning on writing hardcore in the first place. The dragon-ball multiverse just isn't a good setting for a semi-serious fanfiction. I could come up with more reasons, but you guys get the idea. It feels convoluted, contrived and unnatural. If I create a strong character, I have to give a reason why they've been flying under the radar all this time. If a character is strong, then they should have been chosen to participate in the tournament of power. There is no good reason why a random smart dude can't use the scientific method to investigate Ki and become brokenly overpowered.ĥ.) I can't create strong characters for my self-insert to interact with. Hell, it's not even that hard for a mortal to awaken Ki or learn how to sense it. It's been shown already that ki-measuring instruments can be created, like scouters or the dragon radar. ![]() It's literally the difference between mortality and godhood. It should be abundantly clear to any self respecting scientist that Ki is the most important topic to be investigated. Namely, why they don't use Shenron and Porunga to solve all their problems or become brokenly overpowered! Seriously, even when ignoring the plot holes as possible topics of conversation, characters are too simple and NPC-like.Ĥ.) 'Geniuses' are way too dumb! Take Bulma and Dr. When conversations do happen, it's hard not to bring up the bullshit that happens in dragon ball. ![]() I can't find someone interesting for him to speak with. I want to write different perspectives, but I struggle to find something for the characters to think about that doesn't relate to Goku/ Vegeta or the self-insert.ģ.) My self-insert turns into a power-leveling munchkin because there isn't much else for him to do. The other gods of destruction and their angels are the same. Whis is literally just a minder for Beerus. Beerus sleeps most of the time and does very little when he's awake. Other important characters exist only for the main cast (who are basically Goku and Vegeta at this point) to interact with. The main cast have worthy, clear cut goals: saving the earth/universe/multiverse. I have to ass-pull reasons for why my character can't abuse them.Ģ.) Characters in dragon ball are NPCs, outside of the main cast. ![]()
