#dr. hedo

Despite all of his family linages blunders... He never asked to be born to a family of what is considered terrorists. He never expected Magenta to use him and his creations for evil.

They may have all been mislead, but just like Android 16 they did what was right, and Gamma 2 did as well.

No one knows this, but to Hedo, those weren't just Heros to him they were his family. Family who had made it to where they would die for him. And at a cost too.

*Cell Max lets out a roar that shakes the very facility Dr. Hedo is in, whose face is the perfect definition of abject terror. It still holds that feature when Max’s roar shifts into a yawn, which he attempts to cover with his hand. He then rubs his orange eyes before they land on Dr. Hedo. He raises a hand to wave at him.*

Cell Max: Hello there. 

 *Dr Hedo lets out a cry in surprise when suddenly he’s literally face to face with Cell Max, who squints at him as if he were some new bug he came across* 

Cell Max: You seem weak. 

*Dr. Hedo face still holds fear but also some confusion. It returns to fear when when Max looks up, sensing MUCH stronger fighters. Max’s tail begins to to wag like a dog’s would.* 

Cell Max: Ooooh! They seem STRONG!

*Without another word, Cell Max flies upward, not giving Dr. Hedo another glance* 

Hahaha xD Honestly, I like to think a trained Cell Max would start to recognize Dr. Hedo as his creator and perhaps even a father figure of sorts with the more time they spend together. Especially because I know Hedo would only be confused and flustered by the affection from his rather LARGE creation 😅

Dragon ball DnD au! incredibly self-indulgent, I love smashing my main fixations together.

I never thought that we would get to see Gohan and Piccolo get another power up, since the plots usually center around Goku and Vegeta saving the day. Speaking of which, that was actually a breath of fresh air for this movie. I love them, but sometimes it's good to let other characters have the spotlight. The last time I can remember that happening was in DBZ movie 11: Bio Broly, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the other characters getting the chance to save the world for a change. Another thing that I loved about the movie is this:

Piccolo and Pan's relationship was so cute and wholesome😭. A stark contrast to how Piccolo was with Gohan back when he was training him to fight the sayains (which makes sense since Piccolo didn't have nearly as much development as he does now). The ending where she showed him that she could finally fly was so cute. Piccolo's relationship with Gohan in this movie was another highlight that I loved. Even though Gohan has long since surpassed Piccolo, he still needs to be reminded that he needs to keep up his training. And who better to do that than the person who made him into a warrior to begin with?

Also wanted to talk about these guys:

It was nice to see them bring back the Red Ribbon Army for this movie. I always wondered if there was more of them hiding in secret somewhere. Dr. Gero actually having a grandson was a surprise. Definitely was not expecting that. Speaking of which, I love how Commander Red's son and his lackey was able to manipulate Dr. Gero's grandson with the most bs lie ever to get him to do what they wanted him to do xD. I didn't think he would actually believe it, but this is Dragon Ball after all, lol. Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 were really cool and interesting characters to introduce. I liked how they thought of themselves as the "heroes" (even though they obviously weren't) thanks to Dr. Hedo's programming, and eventually realized that they were all being lied to. When Gamma 2 died I actually felt sad, which was something else that I wasn't expecting to happen🤣. Don't really have too much to say about Cell Max. He was nothing more than the final boss that you have to defeat to win the game. I do like how they brought Cell back though, even if it wasn't actually him. I wonder what would have happened if he never got released. Would he have stayed in confinement and grown stronger like the Cell that we all know did, before he eventually broke out? Or would Dr. Hedo have done something about him?
