Goku Jr: "So you intend to enact vengeance upon the entire Kingdom of Sandland, starting with Demon Village. And then what?"
Goku Jr: "After you had your blood at Demon Village and the rest of Sand Land. Will you continue Zamasu's Zero Mortals plan to wipe out all who oppose you? Or conquer them and rule them with an iron fist, enforce them to worship and serve you like a cult?"
Chi-Chi Black: "I might."
Goku Jr: "Hmmm. Have you ever heard of the phrase, "if you don't have your own story, you become a part of someone else's"?"
Chi-Chi Black: "I have not."
Goku Jr: "Not surprising. That's because various mortals invented it. You're welcome."
Chi-Chi Black: "You do realize that I'm capable enough to kill you by chance, right?"
Goku Jr: "Hear me out, why live out a mad God emperor's story when you have your own story to tell."
Chi-Chi Black: "Lord Zamasu's story as you put it is right, just and good! Mortals and those who cherish them are poisonous and corrupt, and should be wiped off the face of the Omniverse! A disease that must be wiped out and purged! Or forced to serve my Master's will!"
Goku Jr: "And yet yesterday, a man gave you a gift and made a joke. But all you remember, are some of the authorities trying to run you out of town. Or the bandits who tried to kill you, the raiders who tried to enslave you and dehumanize you, or the thieves who tried to rob you."
Chi-Chi Black: "Do you deny that mortals, many angels, gods and demons are cruel, Saiyan?"
Goku Jr: "No. I've been cruel. It's a cruel world. Maybe we all do deserve to die, but maybe, we can be better too. If you hypothetically kill us all, wipe out all mortals, and all else who oppose you and those you oppose, sure you get rid of barbarism and cruelty but you also get rid of kindness and compassion. No more jokes. No more stories. No more gifts. No more sudden surprises. And with all the knowledge you have and all the power you have, you could potentially lead people. Like how you lead your machines and your loyalist forces. As well as alongside Commander Zeu. Imagine the good you could do for this world if you just taught people to be kind."
Goku Jr: "Think about it. You have all this power, and if it wasn't for your pride, you would still be an angel in heaven, rather than a fallen one. I have seen a demon's capacity for evil, yes, but I've also seen their capacity for good too. And you have shown me the capacity for both from an angel. You are just as fallible as the rest of us. You never got to understand that. But you're being given a second chance. Even if you're trying to escape your punishment. But perhaps this is your chance for redemption. We have to have hope that one day a person just accepts the humility necessary to accept their flaws and intensively try to be better. Perhaps you could use your powers for good. With your vast knowledge you can essentially become a king. Vengeance may seem good. As does Justice. Some bastards need punishment and to be brought to Justice. But when you take away those who have wronged you, you essentially become the ruler of a place."
Chi-Chi Black: "I do not! I would not be the ruler!"
Goku Jr: "You do, and you would. By right of conquest. And when you have a kingdom, imagine the world you could leave behind simply by being kind and teaching others to be as well."
Chi-Chi Black: "I think I will like more of your beverages... Please..."
Goku Jr: "Then you shall have it. My gift, given freely to you."
