Siblings don't get much to do

Post by DragonBallFoodie » Fri Sep 02, 2016 5:51 pm

Goku's brother Raditz was a means to showcasing Goku as an Saiyan and expanding the DB universe. He may be the most significant sibling in the DB saga, but then that's not saying much.

Vegeta's brother Tarble and Bulma's sister Tights got one-off appearances. They may be as underrated as a lot of DB characters.

Beerus and Whis have as siblings Shanpa and Vados, but I don't know when we'll see them again.

The only purpose Goten Gohan's brother has, as far as I can tell, is to fuse with Trunks to form Gotenks.

Trunks's sister Bra from GT may not appear in the new timeline created by DB Super.


So yeah, siblings don't get much to do in the short-term appearances. It bothers me with some characters (Raditz, Tarble, Tights) and with others I don't really see them as needing to exist, or even be connected (Gotenks, Shanpa).

Raditz's brother, Goku, Tarble's brother, Vegeta, Tights' sister, Bulma, Bra's brother, Trunks, and Goten's brother, Gohan, all get to do plenty :P

And Bra is in Z, by the way.

Ha, nice one! :lol: :clap:

Jokes aside, though, it really is unfortunate how little these characters (and others) do in general. But, like I always say, fanfiction!

Let's not forget Uranai Baba, although I guess she has done plenty already. For those that don't know or remember, she is Roshi's sister.

17's sister, and brother(?), and other brother(?), and even otherer brother(?) did some stuff. There's also Piano's brothers getting it in, at the cost of Piano himself.

Bulla should appear in Super because she was in the EoZ. Also, I mostly agree with you on this except for Goten. Even though he's kind of a background character in Super he's always been Goku's successor (if it isn't Pan).

Forgot about Baba.

I thought Goku's successor was meant to be Gohan?
