[Dragonball Z Golden Age - Chapter 2 - Bojack Unbound (Part 1) - COMPLETE]

Here it is folks. The cover for Chapter 2 of my Golden Age series. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this one- me showing how Gohan and Zangya first met (and of course how he meets Celipa, but I promise to cover that in the next arc. I swear it). However, my revisiting and revising of the Bojack Unbound isn't just about Gohan meeting Zangya.

While their first meeting itself is a momentous moment in the Golden Age timeline, what I did to the Bojack Unbound story was make it even better than the movie. In crafting this chapter/arc of the Golden Age timeline, what I attempted to do was turn the Bojack Unbound movie from a forgettable OVA with no relevance to the story into a series milestone and an important stepping stone in Gohan's new character arc, to help further his journey into becoming Earth's new hero. To help ease him into the role as Earth's new protector.

This movie not only introduces a new cast of villains with awesome individual designs to the DBZ universe (albeit an abysmal amount of personality or relevance beyond their abilities and power levels), but my revised version of the movie as you will soon see, also features encounters such as Gohan's first meeting with Videl, in which he meets someone for the first time his own age who he forms a deep connection with due to shared interests and past experiences. The tournament also involves Android 18, who like Videl was absent from the original movie and is there not only for the promise of winning money, but to also try and interact with Krillin (and by proxy interact with Gohan if you so wish to imagine), whom saved her from Cell. She progresses through the tournament with the Z-fighters, and in the main battle ALL of the Z-fighters for the first time work together to defeat a common enemy. Unlike in the movie, where all the reinforcements stupidly rush Bojack while forgetting about his lackeys, all of whom are as equally powerful as him, but all the Z-fighters for the first time rely on each other to take out the minions. In fact, the main players you see fighting Bojack's minions and who each of them end up defeating can be seen in the cover above.

This is a big turning point for all the Z-fighters, not only establishing Gohan as the new protector of Earth in place of his father, but it also boosts the confidence of all the Z-fighters, showing all of them that they each have worth as fighters and members of the team.

Of course, I'll be getting more into this comic later. First I have to finish some other projects. Hopefully you guys enjoy the cover and the promise of the fic to come.

If you want to read the completed, written version of this, I have the link to the fanfiction below:

This reminds me of something I noticed when I recently watched the Bojack movie; I like how Zangya and the gang were just casually sitting around in a campfire circle while Bojack was squeezing the life out of Gohan. They're like, " Oh, the boss is crushing this like 13-yo kid's spine, just another Tuesday." 😂

TheWriteFiction

What annoys me is how none of the Zfighters ever thought to take out these obviously powerful and dangerous goons together before this happened. They would've had an easier time with Bojack afterwards.

Dean Zamp

I know right! Plus all the juicy dialogue in comic form what a treat 🥵 Write's obviously gonna kill it, correct me if wrong @GamerLegend09 but isn't this the longest arc in the fanfic so far? I don't have word counts or anything, pretty sure it's 2-3 times longer than last arc. I remember it's a wide-ranging quality display of the true direction Golden Age was heading. Very glad to see people as enthusiastic as myself about the story. Now let us enjoy Write's other offerings as we wait for this chapter. Take it easy bro. 😁

*Pg. 3* 😨 well if that ain’t the goriest Image I’ve ever done seen

Anonymous

Ah, I see we’re calling out canon for its bullshit here.

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 4-5* 4. What th- IS THAT SCORCH!!? 😨 omg did Gohan dream a premonition of the future Battle/War with SCORCH!!?!?!?!?!!? 5. Yeah I see what Clint’s saying (😏 and I love it) and I can see write’s Creativity shining again, taking what’s canon and molding it into fear/stress motivator

That was actually one of the problems I had with post time skip gohan. Plus after I saw that vegeta was training I was actually more confused than anything as he acted like during the entire seven year times skip gohan never had a single reason to go to Bulma’s and I never got why he or piccolo didn’t just surprise him with training and acted like goku was right, just because a few villains came to attack him, it just felt like they forgot freiza was originally going to conquer most of the universe at some point anyway and the only reason he came to earth was because goku didn’t kill him letting him lay in space having his father find him. And after realizing there was someone who could overpower him they had to kill him then and there or they risk him getting stronger. And after arriving on earth vegeta and gohan knew they weren’t strong enough and were even saved from the fight because of trunks. My point is I know gohan never wanted to fight and the reason bojack unbound was non canon was so gohan wouldn’t have a reason to train more but even then vegeta if not piccolo knows better than to not only let their strongest fighter get this weak but also not try to use him to train themselves.

TheWriteFiction

It would've made more sense if Gohan kept training, rather than spend the entire time studying. We only got hints that Gohan had only scarcely visited the others and let himself slack off over the years without a lick of exercise. Doesn't seem like a very productive use of time, since even after seven years of peace, the kid doesn't have a single friend his own age, and only starts making them when he enters highschool. Though that is a bit of a stretch, since the only characters he has any meaningful dialogue with are Erasa and Videl... and that's it.

Anonymous

I agree I always wondered what happened to that girl he saved from the river and her grandfather and was confused at why he never did any exercise especially with goten loving to fight and train

TheWriteFiction

Some lack of appearances can be explained since some were ANIME only moments. Lime and her grandfather never appeared in the manga. And I find it odd Gohan never trained with Goten. It's obvious he didn't teach him anything meaningful, because as we saw Goten is talented, but lacks proper control, discipline, and couldn't even fly.

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 6* 😮 oooo write you 4th wall breaking tormenter you, who REALLY indirectly pulled Nyarlathotep into this Universe? Zeno?……orr GOHAN?!?!

Dean Zamp

Or to put it succinctly. Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard 💪

Omni

Holy shit.....Yeah I can't wait to see how this story goes. What about the Alter Age comics ?

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 7* holy crap…. Whoa wait a minute you have Baby in this Roster too!!!? AND IS THAT REINA THEY’VE TAKEN OVER!!!!!!??

TheWriteFiction

Nah. That's a different face. Look closely. Reina is on Scorch's shoulder. She's very distinctive. Reina has wider eyes, a higher ponytail, and is very expressive. She also relies on martial arts and doesn't rely on technology. This woman with Baby appearing out of her shoulder IS Baby, or at least the original one- the last Tuffle Princess named Baby (or Bebi in Japanese). She had the android/machine mutant experiment implanted in her when her father rescued her from the Saiyan rampage and they left the planet. He gave his life to save his only daughter. As a result, he transformed HER into their race's last hope for salvation and revenge against the Saiyans.

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 8* oooo the villain impaling Goku looks new, was he Dark Souls or love craft inspired?

TheWriteFiction

Dark Souls, Witcher 3 and Code Vein. This one is the big bad that rends Goku from existence, permanently killing him and prevents him from being wished back by the dragon balls.

Omni

Can the Super Dragon balls bring Goku back ?

TheWriteFiction

No. That's what's scary about the villains that kill Goku in that arc. They are called the Wild Hunt- extra-terrestrial beings similar to Cthulu- only they are a bit more sinister. Their sole and only purpose is to invade other realities and bring about the Apocalypse. That is their purpose. They END/Delete realities. They feed on the souls of the people they kill. Anyone they do kill, they inflict the Ragnarok curse, which prevents anyone from magically being resurrected and prevents them from finding "Valhalla" or the after life. There is no other or after life if you fight and die against these guys. They END life and existence. And they come to the DBZ universe to end it.

Omni

.......Did you just bring what is essentially the End Game to the DBZ series ? Also "Goku being impaled" where's that at ?

TheWriteFiction

This entire beginning portion of Chapter 2 is foreshadowing for whats to come and shows how much Gohan could lose in the future. Since I have been very vague with many of the battles so far, I've deliberately withheld exactly who dies and who doesn't while making my uploads. If you can piece together the timeline so far it's quite straight forward to understand. The major battles and events that happen in canon DBZ also take place in mine. But there are extra battles in between that helps characters grow and change in meaningful ways. Oh, and Goku gets impaled in the latest page, as you can see from the spear lodged through his back while he's in Ultra Instinct mode.

Omni

Holy shit. Brutal

Having a nightmare of a dark future…ironically if my character also see dark vision of the future and this tame compared to his

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 9* 9. 😬 ouch…low-blow

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 10* Now, looking back on the whole dream sequence I just wanted to say that the whole time each character villain talking to Gohan, criticizing his naïveté while at the same time premonitions of future Threats Appear and present themselves. ( BTW you practically mirrored a HUGE majority of the DBZ Fanbase Perfectly 😁 myself included. Great work 👍🏻 ) I cannot help but Notice…… 😏 this is too vivid to be just a normal Nightmare, so I have 2 guesses. 1. Your taking this opportunity to vent your frustrations on Gohan’s Canon setup into being such a pansy. OR 2. There’s a spiritual entity with future sight at play here warning him of what’s to come ( and no I don’t thinking it’s Goku )

Anonymous

I will say that I think it would’ve been better for the visions of future enemies to show up as shadowy figures rather than just straight up being there. Gohan having perfectly accurate visions of what every one of his future nemises will look like comes off as a bit odd. Otherwise though, I’m liking this so far.

TheWriteFiction

I contemplated that as well. Narratively it would make more sense if I were writing an original story of my own. I can always adjust it for the future. Regardless, he won't remember them due to the perpetrator of this nightmare erasing his memory of their faces, so either way he won't remember them from this encounter. He will only have a horrible, fleating feeling when he does run into them eventually.

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 11* AND THERE IT IS!!!! A Gohan that talks some sense!! EXACTLY!!! What I wanted to see

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 12* From where it all started. To where it continues. 🥲 Atta boy Gohan

Omni

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 13* *See’s bottom 3 panels* 😄 oh hey there’s Nyarlathotep…..😱*Gasp* Y- B- WHY……. I HAVE SOOO MANY QUESTIOOONS!!!!

GamerLegend09

*Pg. 14-16* 14.MMMmmmmm and thus the battle between Mother and son starts 15.There ya go Right in the Jugular, this’s exactly what I’ve Dreamed of, FINALLY confronting his mother on what HE wants and how she turned him into such a pansy the way she RAISED him….😏 y’know this’d make a good revenge plot for a doujin . 16.There ya go Gohan, Guilt for her actions aaannnnd 📿 REIGN HER IN!!!!

TheWriteFiction

Glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to make it a diplomatic discussion. In a way it is. But at the same time you can appreciate Gohan dropping some truth bombs in her.

WulfgarCyng

I really love this so far! It's great to see Gohan actually realize that he has a duty to be more than a scholar. With great power, comes great responsibility.

*Pg. 19 & 20* 19. Ok good good, you made her redeem herself and had her give 2 more than Fair Conditions. 20. This Was Perfect, Piccolo in the last Panel was a nice touch to this moment.

Omni

Dude is Nyarlathotep Dr.Briefs in disguise ? I'm asking that because he has the doctor's cat on his shoulder....so does mean that he'll be watching Gohan and the others the ENTIRE time until he decides to make his move ?

TheWriteFiction

He already has been watching them since Goku first met Doctor Briefs in dragonball. Hes been disguised as the Doctor and the cat the entire time.

TheWriteFiction

@Omni Not dead. Just asleep. Forgive me, I'm being very vague with my answers.

Omni

Hey it's ok dude you just don't want to spoil anything. I understand completely.

GamerLegend09

I……saw the cat, recognized the resemblance, and did NOT think his Presence was made THAT far back!!!
