¿Teresa está soltera?.
Let's introduce Teresa, Bill's personal therapist at Teraprisma (the designs here are the first ones I made, so you'll see a change later, I hope you like my girl, she needs a raise)
Another Place - Bastille
Some kudoichi longing + mandatory bkdk paralellisms:
i will see you in the next life.
immortality as theft (you have to steal life from something else) immortality as parasitism (there is something else inside You that is keeping you alive and you become less of yourself more and more the longer it stays in you) immortality as violence (everything is trying to kill you because everything is supposed to die and the universe will always try to find a way to right the wrong that is You) you understand
my love, my love, love, love
yoichi took one look at kudou, asked ‘is anyone else gonna impregnate that man’ and didn’t wait for an answer
They were at a rather low level of technological development when Cold happened upon planet Sadla, their original homeworld. Many were even still Stone Age hunter-gatherers. With emphasis on the hunting.
They venerated ancestors and practiced animism.
Saiyan children, like humans, are born underdeveloped and take a long time to mature. But Saiyans also have much higher caloric needs than humans. This resulted in lower fertility rates and selected for monogamous behavior even more strongly than in humans.
In pre-Cold Saiyan society, the family was the unit around which all social life was organized. Spousal, fraternal, and parent-child bonds were particularly revered.
In order to better mold the Saiyans for his needs, Cold implemented policies to undermine the family structure. Most notably, taking newborn infants and sticking them in conditioning pods. Some didn’t see their parents until they were already toddlers.
This is where the practice of sending Saiyan infants to clear low-risk planets came from.
Casual sex wasn’t really a thing in Saiyan society, due to aforementioned monogamy. Sex released all kinds of intense hormones that started a pair bond pretty much right away. And the process could be difficult to stop once it started.
It’s for this reason that Saiyan society didn’t have much in the way of formalized marriage ceremonies. Any couple that had sex more than 3 or 4 times was de facto married.
(See also: Vegeta one day referring to Bulma as his wife and Bulma just going along with it.)
They were, for the most part, enormous prudes. Extreme lust for sex was seen as the result of an inadequate lust for battle.
(Vegeta sees humans the way humans see bonobos, basically. It’s especially startling to him because of their outward resemblance to Saiyans,)
Random thought about the hybrid Saiyans...
Goten, Trunks, and Pan were all born abnormally strong compared to any full-blooded Saiyan we see, and they've been described as "tailless hybrids."
The thought just came to me today... I bet they're exactly 10 times stronger than they would've been if they'd been born with tails.
Because becoming an Oozaru makes you 10 times stronger.
Basically, they don't have the capability of transforming into Oozaru... because that extra power is already integrated into their base form. They've got the power of a giant monkey but without any of the downsides (tail is an obvious weak point, mindless rage that needs practice to control, becoming a huge target.)
This also fits with the 6th Universe Saiyans, who have evolved to be tailless... and, probably not coincidentally, are all abnormally strong in their base forms and have a much easier time transforming into Super Saiyans. Sound familiar? Yep, they're just like little Goten and Trunks!
Now imagine if little Gohan had been born without a tail. When he gets angry seeing Raditz beating up his dad, instead of his power level rising to 1300-something he jumps all the way to 13,000. Sorry Piccolo, you won't be needing that Makankosappo to poke a hole in Raditz this time... that 4-year-old is going to do it with a headbutt.
I’m going to keep pointing out the yonic goblet One for All imagery every time it comes up.
(FYI: yonic imagery is the female counterpart to phallic imagery. Phallic symbols resemble male genitalia, like swords, obelisks, towers, etc. Yonic symbols are objects invoking imagery of female genitalia, often cups, cauldrons, chalices, goblets, wells, caves, tunnels, flowers, fruits, etc.)
One for All and the characters intertwined with it have too many themes surrounding birth/rebirth for this to be a coincidence: i.e.: Yoichi living on past his death, Izuku’s name having a character that can be read as “to be born”, All for One calling himself One for All’s father, all the pregnancy metaphors about One for All, and child Shigaraki tearing himself out vestige All for One, just to name a few.
