Day 3 - Disneyland 

For @kakavegeweek

Also this is probably the biggest thing I’ve worked for this project. So, yeah, I’m hella hyped for this.

Fantasize is coming soon ladies and gentlemen… get ready. 👀

Decided to do more analysis on my 70s purple jumpsuit look for Dark. Also some more Darkstache in general cuz why not lol

So I liked one of my 2dace panels too much so I decided to color and make some LGBTQ+ icons. 

Please do credit me if you use them. Thank you! 

Icons are down below.

Some shirt designs/concepts both for myself and my project, @wetheuncommon

Kakarot and Vegeta fusing for the first time as Kage! … With a dark twist.

(Blood warning below)

Here’s a reference sheet of all of Kage’s forms

For a little explanation, the U13 au has its own fusion technique! As you can tell from some of my other posts showcasing this au, it takes some aspects of Steven Universe. The fusion technique is the same but with a Dragon Ball twist. This is what I call Coalescence Fusion!

In Universe 13, Coalescence Fusion is a technique that was created by the Tuffles and then appropriated passed onto the Saiyans as a way to strengthen their bonds but the reason to why would constantly change through the passage of time.

For the Tuffles, it was about strengthening bonds in mutual relationships and a sign of personal growth. When the Saiyans conquered their planet and renamed it Planet Vegeta, “strengthening bonds” through fusion was more about a sense of comradery and combining battle power to overtake their enemies rather than personal growth. The bigger the fusion, the stronger the warrior.

In order to one to fuse with this technique, all parties have to make their energies equal to one another’s. (Usually a fusion consists of two or more people) This creates an equilibrium that helps make a well balanced fusion. One can level out their energy in many different ways, they can dance, sing, meditate… as long they can combine together and maintain a balance, there is no particular way to fuse. Now technically one can stayed fused forever as long as long as they have strong enough of a connection. But as soon as their energies are thrown out of balance or they’re incapacitated in some way, the fusion can un-fuse or become unstable. After a fusion fails, there’s usually a 20 minute gap before one can fuse again, however depending on how strong the parties’ connection to each other is, the faster the recover rate can be.

In some Saiyan communities, (more commonly in low or mid class ranks) Coalescence Fusion can have a romantic connotation depending on how quickly a party can fuse together. Now while Saiyans aren’t much for romance, they are a warrior race after all, some saw that aspect as more of a benefit for encouraging stronger warriors. Others see it as more of a hinderance in battle.

As time moved forward, restrictions on who could fuse together became more apparent. (Basically no mixing of classes) In more elite circles, Coalescence Fusion was used more as a way of courtship and in a way to literally “merge” assets. When thinking about it that way, fusion to elites is more important in a socio-economic setting than on the battlefield.

For Kage specifically, because he was a fusion of two different classes (an elite and a low-class) combined with the fact that Kakarot and Vegeta fused together so quickly; albeit entirely on accident. Kage was practically shunned from a majority of the Saiyan race, believing them to be an abomination. The elites wouldn’t accept him due to them believing that Kakarot soiled the royal bloodline by fraternizing with Vegeta through fusion (Even though they weren’t even a couple at the time.) and the low class wouldn’t accept him because they felt they didn’t trust Vegeta, believing a fusion between him and Kakarot was ultimately dangerous. This lead them to unfuse from panic, Vegeta getting injured in the process (more on that at a different time ;) ) and they run away to Earth in an attempt to escape from certain death. By landing on Earth, their relationship became stronger and thus, their fusion, Kage became ultimately stronger as a result. This is exemplified through Kage’s different forms throughout the years to signify ever changing nature of their relationship. Sorry for the long lore dump but hopefully it makes sense!

Here’s the final product of my Gorillaz magazine project! Thank you to the person who asked the 11th question! (Mainly because you were the only person you asked and rest of the questions I had to write myself) Also, I’m sorry I don’t have your name up because I couldn’t seem to find your account. Sadly, however, something went wrong with the png file so I wasn’t able to show a clearer digital image of the entire thing so that’s why the quality is so shitty here. I hope you enjoy it! 😊👍
