Humans are totally known in the Galaxy. I mean, what else could Recoome be? Or those orphan rebels that Gohan and Killin encountered on the way to Namek?


He's not human as far as we know. It's like in Star Wars or Star Trek. There are lots of humanoid races that might even look almost identical to humans, but they aren't. That's my assumption anyway.

Including random trivia about a barely spacefaring race with a power level of 3? Seems rather random... Why would he waste time on that? There's hundreds of other races...


When one is intent on remaking the whole galaxy in their own image, probably a good idea to have as much data on every sentient race possible and even strong monsters as well. Sure humans are one of the weakest races in dragon ball but might as well have the data so you can just know they can just be curb stomped without having to do any investigation and wasting time when you do encounter them.

Information is power.

I am pretty sure though that Recoome is an alien that just very closely resembles a human. Tuffles were almost indistinguishable from humans as I recall from their very brief appearances.

Well I will just keep calling Ovaan "the Freezer guy".

As an aside I am wondering how all of these people know what a Human is even, given the fact that in DBZ humans are a complete unknown to the galaxy for the most part.

I don't. But don't worry, I intend to make a point of that and more in my next post. I am just waiting for the right time to drop it. It has to be at some point where we are all assembled and talking but before my new pink friend wakes up or the grand briefing starts. So like I guess now is the time? Am typing, even though I am at work and really shouldn't.

We are all assembled now, right?

Aand done. Do I need to @ everyone right now or is it fine?

--------------
Long story short my girl literally has no context for any of you. Like, she is intellectually aware that aliens exist. But that's sort of the same as we think of bacteria living on Mars. She couldn't even begin to imagine how they might appear. So this post contains her thoughts, comments and evaluation of you lot from that perspective.

Hopefully everyone found their description entertaining. :)

Okay, posted.

And just a friendly reminder: There are no Saiyans in Ovaan's universe. You know, in case anyone needed to know why he's having zero reaction whatsoever to the Saiyan characters.

I am more freaked out by humans being PTO liutenants. They are usually far too puny.

Yea... humans. Another species evolved from primates. Like Mia is going to have a heart attack once she realizes just how many aliens come from monkeys. Here is to hoping we get a chance to banter about evolutionary biology at some point.

As an aside, how does Mia relate to the actual afterlife Oni in DBZ, you know the assistants of King Yenma...

None whatsoever. I basically forgot those things existed. Or rather this is the first time I've heard of then. Googling them up now it appears that I knew of them but they had a different name in the dub I watched as a kid.

As to her view of the afterlife she has no idea about any of that stuff. What ever knowledge of the afterlife she has is heavily filtered by her own cultural and religious background which stems from a planet that has been in continuous self imposed isolation from the rest of her universe for about 1000+ years. Like imagine if Switzerland was to build a giant dome over top it self and declare permanent neutrality of the "we'll kill you if you invade and we don't want your trade." sort of kind. I deliberately wanted to create a character that's just a total fish out of water here so as to invoke the original spirit of the DBZ Namek arc.

Something new I learned just now by googling. I always thought it was like the Japanese word for a demon like thing.

Well yes and no. It's the closest match, as sometimes they are portrayed as child eaters... Western ogres are usually brutish, huge, and sometimes have magical powers.

Oni usually have afterlife demonic traits due to their association to the eastern equivalent of Hell.

Oh well.

I will freely admit that my knowledge of eastern mythology is fairly limited to the point that I goofed. Most of what I know about it o comes from video games and dubbed anime. Oh well.

It's a good thing Maize stayed in her Super Saiyan form. Looks like she's about to get that fight with another Super that she wanted.
