Nah it would fully flesh out Gero and 16 though given That 16 was based on dr gero's son.ABED wrote:This statement surprises surprises me. Even if it had been in the series, I think it just sounds trite. His obsession with Goku works fine in the series by virtue of Goku being the biggest impediment to Dr. Gero's goal.Kunzait_83 wrote:All the stuff involving Gero having a son who was a Red Ribbon soldier that was one of the many cannon fodder grunts killed by Goku during his raid on Red Ribbon HQ and modeling #16 on him, and #21 being modeled on the woman scientist he had the kid with... all of this stuff is excellent backstory, that frankly should've been in the original manga/anime run, as it provides excellent context and motivation for Gero and it improves both him as a character and the storyline of that arc immeasurably.
Not only does it provide Gero with a much stronger and genuinely sympathetic motivation to go to the lengths he does to obsess over Goku for close to 20 years for revenge, it also has Goku's past careless actions in an earlier arc have DIRE consequences much, much later on down the line. Plus it adds even more genuine pathos to #16 as a character (and 16's a fairly cool character who is ultimately given too little to do overall in that arc as it is). That's just damn effective writing; or at least it WOULD'VE been had it actually been part of the original manga/anime storyline back in the day.
