Character comparisons between Supergirl and Dragon Ball
Superspeeder
Have you ever wondered how similar the characters of Supergirl/Superman and Dragon Ball are? Well wonder no more! In this hilarious tale, Bra fields questions(for her blog for those who haven't read Supergirl Z) asking her to do just that! You may be surprised at how similar they are!

A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR(ME)!: Hey guys, I would really appreciate it if you left reviews for this story
Chapter 3
"Hey guys its me Bra and I'm back for another broadcast episode! Lots of you guys have been emailing me saying that I wasn't at all trashing Gohan's mom in the last broadcast. It's just my opinion and of course you may disagree but I'm glad that most people think that I was fair in my assessment of Chi-Chi and Eliza Danvers. With that out of the way, its time to update you on how my training is going, and I have to say its pretty awesome! John is a really good sparring partner and always encourages me to do my best. He's as powerful(strength-wise) as Piccolo and I've really grown under his tutelage! This has caused my dad to increase his GR training with me to 100x that of Earth which my brother says is a sign of obvious jealously! Dad doesn't want his reputation with the others to be ruined but at the end of the day, he's still the same old overprotective lovable softy he always is with me! Now that I've updated you guys about my progress its time for today's question which comes from WolfFang95 and he emails me saying "hey Bra I know you said that you didn't want to make any character comparisons with Jonathan Kent last time so I was wondering if you would do it in this broadcast Thanks!"
"Well WolfFang95 thanks for the question and I will compare Jonathan Kent to another character in this broadcast. Now from what my brother and Gohan have told me in my mind the person Jonathan reminds me of is Grandpa Gohan. There are several reasons that I think so(which my brother and Gohan have told me of course). The first reason is that both Gohan and Jonathan were regular people with normal lives. Now I know you may say "BUT BRA! Gohan was trained by the Turtle Hermit Master Roshi" and your right! In his early days, Gohan was trained by Roshi but he didn't exactly "Take the world by storm" as a result. Think about it! Gohan didn't participate in tournaments, went into space, defeated the most powerful being in the universe, and deal with androids which are things that his "son" Goku did. Of course the same thing can be said of Jonathan; he never fought a General out for revenge, saved a woman's life, and became a hero to the people of Metropolis which is what Superman did!"
"Another similarity between Jonathan and Gohan is that they had initial difficulties raising their sons. With Superman, it was the fact that Jonathan wanted him to fit in with the people of Earth even with his abilities developing throughout his childhood. Gohan's case is well known, Goku(even though he had a gentle mom with Gine) was violent when he came to Earth until his accident and Gohan was at the end of his rope before Goku's accident. Yet another similarity is that their sons had a part to play in their deaths; with Superman it was him not acting to save Jonathan during a tornado(even though he told him not to) and of course Goku crushed his grandfather as a Great Ape even though Gohan warned him never to look at a full moon. I think the most striking aspect of this is that both of their grandfathers knew that the world wasn't ready to know about the alien heritage of their sons. Even though Superman didn't know of his alien heritage until after his death, Jonathan most certainty never told Superman about his Kryptonian heritage when he was alive. In the same way, Goku also didn't find out about his saiyan heritage(and even his role in Gohan's death for that manner) until after Gohan's death and both he and Superman also initially repudiated their heritage(although they later on accepted their respective alien heritages) because they were raised on Earth by their human "fathers".
"Finally both Goku and Superman hold their fathers in extremely high regards. Trunks told me(from Kara) that every year, Superman and Martha go to Jonathan's grave and lay a fresh wreath and flowers over his tombstone. Goku for many years thought that the 4 star dragon ball had the spirit of his grandfather and was very reluctant to hand it over to mom when they first met. Of course, the ultimate tribute is naming your son after your dead grandfather which is what Goku did(even though it was Chi-Chi who first named their son Gohan according to my brother when he attended his 11th birthday party). The Ox King even stated that Grandpa Gohan would be proud of having Goku name his own son after his Grandfather and no doubt is looking on from otherworld at how Gohan is doing today and smiling right alongside of Goku and Chi-Chi. If Superman ever had a child with Lois-which I doubt since both dad and John says that Kryptonian and Human DNA are incompatible and the fact that Lois is dating Clark Kent!-he no doubt will also honor the memory of Jonathan by naming his half Earthling-Half Kryptonian child after him the same way Goku honored his grandfather by naming his son Gohan. That's all the reasons that I have for their similarities and I hope that you enjoyed this as next time I will tackle another character comparison between us and Supergirl characters! Goodbye!"
End Chapter
Me: That's the end of this chapter, I hope that the explanation for Jonathan Kent and Grandpa Gohan was logical and well thought out! Now I know some may say "but speeder! Bra should know about what happened with Jaco because of her mom!" and your right comment section! However, in Trunks' universe the events of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman never happened(even though it was a follow-up to Minus) and therefore I couldn't make the comparison that both Jonathan and Grandpa Gohan protected their children from being taken away by those who would want to harm them! Jaco(and Tights-Bulma's sister) is yet another difference between universes 6 and 7 that I didn't mention in my main story because its just a minor difference. Still you can bet there is going to be a massive amount of confusion/shock when Bulma asks Tights/Jaco to search for the last super dragon ball as Trunks, Bra, and Alice has never even heard of or met them in their universe during the tournament!
Speaking of the tournament, I'm so pumped for the Universe 6 arc of Dragon Ball Super and the tournament with Champa! its only one more week until it starts airing and I cannot wait who FUNimation chooses to be the voices of Champa, Vados, and Zuno when they get the licensing to broadcast it in the US. I FREAKING LOVED JASON DOUGLAS AS THE VOICE OF BEERUS IN THE BATTLE OF GODS/RES F MOVIE and since Super made Beerus more "savage" it will be interesting to see how Douglas portrays him in Super. Geekdom thinks Douglas can be more "savage" with Beerus because he was the voice of King Cold in Kai(something that I didn't know) and King Cold is just as savage as Frieza! Many fans also think that Goku and Vegeta won't use their SSJ Blue powers during the tournament but it wouldn't make sense for the series to revert backwards to plain old Super-Saiyans therefore this theory that they won't has been debunked! At the same time I also agree with Blackenfist(on YouTube) when they say that Goku/Vegeta may hold back to make things fair. Rhymstyle says that Goku/Vegeta won't use SSJ Blue until the inevitable "Tournament being crashed/ more powerful enemy" shows up(which I also agree with and will explain in further detail ).
The reason I agree with Rhymstyle in that the saiyans won't use their SSJG/Blue powers until a more powerful enemy shows up is because every tournament involving the Z fighters were either interfered or ruined altogether. THINK ABOUT IT! In Dragon Ball, Goku going Ape ruined the 21st (when he fought Jackie Chung), the Red Ribbon Army ruined the 22nd, and Piccolo Jr.(Demon King Piccolo's reincarnation) ruined the 23rd(and mind you that's just ball!) In Z, Cell had his "Games"(no need for me to rehash that tournament!) and Buu being released ruined the remodeled the 25th tournament 7 years after Cell was killed(even though the fight between Majin Vegeta and SS2 Goku led to Buu's release in the first place. Even at the end of Z(which is being rewritten by Super as I said in the last chapter) Goku left with Ubb(Majin Buu's reincarnation) which ruined the 25th for his Granddaughter Pan and Vegeta(although they both got over it).
The ONLY TOURNAMENTS NOT RUINED WAS THE TOURNAMENT HERCULE WON DURING Z (although the manga and the anime never showed it-it was filler) ANDD THE TOURNAMENT AT THE END OF GT 100 YEARS AFTER GOKU LEFT WITH SHENRON AND THE DRAGON BALLS(even though that two is filler and considered to be non-canon by the fans) that's it but other than that every tournament that the Z fighters participated in was ruined and I don't doubt for a MINUTE that the same thing will most likely happen in Champa's tournament! In any case, I'm really pumped to see what will happen and yes I will cover Champa's tournament in my story Supergirl Z(although I'm not going to do so until the season 1 finale of the show!)
