This is all well and good, but people here are complaining more about that we/they didn't get to see the "hearing the voice of Bardock in his comatose state, gave him time to reflect on the Saiyans and the choices he made up to that point, seeing that Bardock save his life, and that Goku and Vegeta are fighting for his safety probably broke through the anger and hatred he had in himself" being explicitly depicted to lead Granolah to the conclusion of him giving up revenge, rather than that conclusion in itself. It's not necessarily a dealbreaker for me that I have to assume/surmise it "probably" happened based on all of the horrible stuff he's wrought upon himself/his close ones from his revenge & his general words/demeanor this recent chapter, but it is for some that that detailed process was skipped over to finish up the final battle (I wouldn't have minded another chapter for it even if it'd elongate the arc by another month lmao).jd55513 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 4:10 pm [snip]
Now back to the current discussion. The reason giving up revenge is a narratively sound and consistent and is a nice bow on the character of Granolah is due to the fact that Monaito warned Granolah of the troubles and conflict that using Dragon Balls would usher. New foes and nothing but suffering and pain would occur because Granolah is trapped by his past and his identity of being some savior or having to carry a burden of bringing justice to the Cerealieans.
Granolah sought the use of Dragon Balls for selfish reasons which is a big no for Buddhist beliefs, as it puts you further in a illusion.
As Monaito explained, the Dragon Balls are to be used for selfless reasons, generally as a reward to brave warriors.
We know that almost everyone who has made selfish wishes receives negative karma as a result of using them.
Granolah recieved his punishment by nearly dieing and going blind in the face of other more powerful enemies, as Monaito foreshadowed, and at the cost of being surpassed by the Saiyan and Gas, with a little lifespan.
Hearing the voice of Bardock in his comatose state, gave him time to reflect on the Saiyans and the choices he made up to that point.
Seeing that Bardock save his life, and that Goku and Vegeta are fighting for his safety probably broke through the anger and hatred he had in himself. He probably pities Gas too, as he represents another "Granolah" who gave up everything to fall short.
Granolah has matured, just like Vegeta when it comes to past mistakes and guilt/hatred.
Also, https://en.dragon-ball-official.com/news/01_1272.html the DB official site published basically a summary of the whole arc up till now, so it's useful if you need a quick refresh or maybe look into what exactly the story was telling/what was being told.
