Gohan and dungeon of the damned full#
The Moon is full and a Great Ape demolishes their opposition. Gero's research results in advances of material science and navigational programming.Ī certain battle wages on into the night and Commander Red orders his secret weapon to take the field. He probably imprints on Gero as his father, and Gebo as his brother.Īs Kakarot's power grows with age, Gebo takes on the task of teaching the alien child not just discipline and self-control, but also an appreciation for nature, what little of it there is to see outside the lab.

It's not all sterile observation for Kakarot, however. And he's a savage little kid, having not suffered a concussion like Goku did. So little Kakarot is raised in a lab, like Eleven from Stranger Things. (Disregard that last paragraph, his canon name is “Gebo” as per the DBZ: Kakarot art book.) For the purposes of this story, Gero's son will be “Coggo.” The only thing that makes sense is that it literally comes from the mechanical part “gear,” so that establishes our theme. That aside, Gero's name pun isn't known, doesn't appear to be food-based, and isn't a color like other members of the RRA. After all, why else would Gero deliberately repeat the 'failure' of Eighter? And unlike DBZA's version of events, in which Gero's son is killed when Goku attacks the Red Ribbon Army HQ, he was officially killed-in-action before then by the bullet of an enemy soldier.

This suggests A16's gentle nature was shared by his template. This suggests a degree of sentimentality on Gero's part, despite his otherwise myopic fixation on revenge.

We know A16 was designed to look like him and was left inactive because Gero couldn't bear the idea of harm coming to his son's image.
Gohan and dungeon of the damned android#
Speaking of Gero's son, we can draw some logical assumptions about Android 16's template based on context. But Gero's son thinks this is an awfully cold way to address a child, so “Kakarot” is as good a name as any. It is feasible that Gero would find this function while studying the pod ('Subject A') and its effect on the occupant ('Subject B'). This doesn't work for a lot of reasons (established geography, later plot developments, etc), but the basic idea is sound. Gero.Įpisode 18 of Dragon Ball Z's original run included a filler segment in which Goku's old Attack Ball reactivates and projects an image of the Moon, causing Gohan to transform into a Great Ape. The unprecedented discovery of an extraterrestrial space craft and its living occupant would be of great interest to the army's top scientific mind, Dr. His Attack Ball lands in the far west region of Earth and is recovered by Red Ribbon Army scouts. So for a change of pace, let's explore it ourselves!įor starters, he's not Goku in this version of events, because that name came from Grandpa Gohan, so we're going to call him Kakarot going forward. But maybe that doesn't have to be the case. “What if Goku was found by the Red Ribbon Army?” If you keep up with MasakoX's what-if streams, you know this premise is frequently suggested, and has thus far been dismissed as resulting in a Bad End™.
