A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR(ME)!: Hey guys, I'm uploading another chapter! Yes 2 chapters in one day isn't that amazing

Chapter 5

"Hey guys its Bra and I'm back for another episode of character comparisons! Last time I compared Alura to Bardock as well as my grandfather King Vegeta! Once more I'm amazed that people thought that I was fair in my assessment of two characters but that was only the 1st part of it. With that out of the way, its time to once again update you on how my training is going, and I have to say its I'm adapting to my new training schedule! Every day I train with my dad(and now he's increased the gravity to 150x Earth Gravity) who helps me train like he and my brother. Then afterwards, John trains me in the DEO; both he and Alex help refine my father's teachings and also help me "adapt" to Supergirl's style of fighting. Alex may not be strong like Pan is, but I respect her because she doesn't hold anything back when we spar and even though most of the time I beat her into the ground she always comes back for more! I can see why my brother respects her so much, and frankly I have learned to respect her as well! As for John, I often ask him if there's more Martians like him out there and he told me of the "White Martians". Honestly from what he told me of the White Martians, it sounds like Piccolo's hatred of Kami back when he was evil. However, the White Martians have all died out although dad has been a bit worried because of a beam of light falling heading towards Earth has an "alien" energy to it and that it will fall to the Earth in 2 weeks. Mom has told him not to worry that it's probably an asteroid but that he should keep an eye out for any more developments. She told us that we will worry about it when the time comes so until then its business as usual here at Capsule Corps! Now that I've updated you guys about my progress let me give out the number 800-shenron that's 800-743-6766 to talk! and the email is Bra_Briefs "

"Last time I took a call and this time I will read an email from Light Blizzard C. She says that the idea to cover Kara and Trunks alien parents was a good idea and that I should continue this time with Jor-El. I will gladly do so and based on I've learned when Dad told me about Kara and Goku's parents I have to say that Jor-El definitely reminds me of Bardock and Dad. Now many fans easily see the Bardock/Jor-El connection(and I will explain it as well) but many people don't see the connection between Jor-El and my dad. Jor-El is a rather complicated character which fits both Bardock and Dad to a T making many 'changes' to the way they treated both their offspring and the members of their own race. First of all, Jor-El was a brilliant scientist(which is what I heard from Trunks) and allegedly Bardock was a bit of a scientist as well(as Dad reported that he allegedly created the artificial moon technique to help saiyans transform into Great Apes. Of course it was nothing but rumors and Bardock is a fighter and the leader of a squad of low class saiyans that did jobs elites wouldn't even touch. Jor-El was also a leader(so to speak) as one of the members of the Kryptonian council(according to Kara alongside of Alura). He also is a member of the house of El who's ancestor defused the Eradicator's nefarious designs. Now Bardock's ancestors are not well known-although there was a story that flew around Planet Vegeta that Bardock's ancestor killed Frieza's ancestor Chilled(which lead to the wide spread tale of the Legendary Super-Saiyan among them). Another similarity is that although Bardock knew that his son Goku was raised on Earth he told Gine that he was sending him away for his own good. Of course Jor-El programmed Superman's Ship to go to Earth and its no surprise that both Lara and Gine was worried about the safety of their sons on other worlds as they knew that they would be regarded as freaks and outcasts."

"Another similarity is that both Superman and Goku were confused about their heritages; now you may say "BUT BRA! after Goku had his 'accident' he didn't care about his parents and even despised his saiyan heritage until he learned the truth from your father on Namek!" and you're right. Goku could've used Porunga to revive his parents but never did and I think that despite learning the truth about the fate of planet Vegeta from my dad, still didn't change his opinion about his parents. He saw them as nothing more than murders and frankly I don't blame him. After so many years, the brother you never met suddenly comes to your planet and tells you that your parents sent you to Earth to kill its inhabitants and then proceeded to kidnap your son would leave a bad taste in anybody's mouth(never mind Goku's)! Of course like Superman accepted his Kryptonian heritage, Goku also accepted the fact that he was a saiyan and even stated he was a saiyan raised on Earth for the sole purpose of beating you[Frieza] and that he[Goku] became the one only heard in the legend; pure of heart and awakened by fury. I am the Super-Saiyan Son Goku!" And mind you when Goku began his fight with Frieza, he told Vegeta that whatever this Super-Saiyan business was that he would be better off with it and that he would never be pushed to be as cold as my dad was. It was only after Krillen was killed(and mind you we didn't know that he could be revived with the Namekian Dragon so his 2nd death was more permanent) that Goku snapped and wanted to murder Frieza. In the same way(according to what my brother told me of Superman's life after he landed from Kara) Superman didn't snap until Zod threatened to kill his mother; at the end of the battle both Goku and Superman wanted to spare their enemies- Frieza and Zod respectively-but didn't. In Zod's case Superman killed him because Zod threatened a family and that reminded him so much of how he didn't act to save his adoptive father Jonathan's life. For Frieza, it was a case of him not being able to accept the fact that a saiyan monkey bested him and desperately attacked him causing Goku to seemingly kill him which was only amplified when Namek exploded. Although Frieza later returned as a Mecha thanks to his father and Goku had no choice but to finish the job(even though Trunks took care of Frieza in the "other" timeline)."

"That's where the similarities between Bardock and Jor-El end and the similarities between him and my dad begin! First of all both my dad and him are incredibly complicated characters. As I said Jor-El and Alura are members of the prestigious House of El a family that spans generations of great Kryptonians and from what dad told me, his family also has a "royal line" that expands back for generations. Furthermore, the House of El is the most prestigious family on Krypton just as my dad was on his home world. Now the reasons for that are different; the House of El were explorers and scientists, while my ancestors were saiyan warriors who were honored for their work against their enemies the Tuffles. However both my father and Jor-El were looked on as "evil" by outsiders. Kryptonians once explored the galaxies(according to dad) and even though they never conquered any planet they came across there were some races that looked upon them as trash. Even though they were under Frieza's justification, they were looked down to as a waste of space junk and had it not been for Krypton destroying itself would've either a) destroyed it himself or b(which is what he actually did) send a unit of saiyans to investigate whether or not Krypton's core could be salvaged by their technology(of course my dad told us that their core was not salvageable and their race not worth conquering)"

"Now another similarity between the two is the attitude their children have towards them. Like I said with Bardock(in terms of Goku despising him) Superman himself despised his father initially. Although the circumstances were different- in that Goku's accident caused him to forget about his parents whereas Superman didn't know where he came from- the fact was that both questioned why they were send to Earth. King Kai gave part of the reason Goku was send to Earth(in terms of conquering) Goku didn't know that his parents(and other saiyans) were used as tools by Frieza. With Superman it was his "interaction" with his father in the fortress of solitude(although Martha first opened his eyes to his Kryptonian heritage by showing him the spaceship) that he learned where he came from. With Dad, its well known that he still respects his father by not taking the title of King of Saiyans(even though his father is dead now) its the same with Superman; he could technically become the "head" of the house of El but of course he rather not because he has a duty to Earth."

"Jor-El was also responsible for sentencing Zod and his minions to the phantom Zone and in a way, Dad "sentenced" his general Nappa to death. The reason was the same; defiance of their superiors. With Nappa he frequently disobeyed dad during the fight on Earth and his losing to Goku(according to mom) represented the height of disobedience and therefore dad had no choice but to kill him. Of course Zod and his minions killed people on Planet Krypton in an attempt to "warn" their brothers to change their ways and to flee. Zod was sentenced to the Phantom Zone by Jor-El and even though he later escaped(unlike Nappa who was never revived), he never changed his way. I often wonder if there was ever such things as good saiyans; the record shows that we all have bad stains on our records. My dad, brother, Gohan and even Pan has killed before and I am a trickster by nature(my mom taught me the "tricks of the trade" to make dad scared of me)! Even so, my dad says that despite the bloodied past of the saiyans and kryptonians that we can move forward to a new era that can be just as proud! I completely agree with that which is why Trunks has me training with John to make sure that the next generation will be ready if there's another exterior threat to our safety. Anyway that's all that I have for now, next time I will move on to another character to compare! See you guys then and remember: no matter who you are there's one thing you have to keep your pride Goodbye!"

End Chapter

Me: That's the end of this chapter, I hope that the explanation for Jor-El Bardock and Prince Vegeta was logical and well thought out! In case you aren't aware of it, the section of whether or not there are good saiyans refer to what shenron told Goku in the Battle of Gods movie and that 5 Saiyans questioned the existence of evil on their home world and united to eliminate the bad sayains. Of course the result is the Super-Saiyan God and now we have Super-Saiyan Blues!

I've done 2 chapters today and may do one more(hey there are 10 more characters that I need to compare!) today comes to a close so be on the lookout for that as next time, I will delve into everyone's favorite sarcastic media mogul Cat Grant and her comparison! See you guys then!
