"Broly-sensei ...
Is it what it looks like or...
Are you projecting a movie onto the kitchen wall using your third eye as a projector while cleaning dishes with telekinesis? " Gohan asked describing what he was seeing ...
Strangely enough ...
"If you already know the answer why do you ask the question?
I already knew you were coming.
You have popcorn next to the microwave" Broly said without moving a millimeter, while he continued projecting the film from his third eye
"I didn't know you could do that ...
In fact, I don't even know why you do it…" Gohan said as he ate popcorn, still fascinated by his master's useful and useless powers.
"Is that the only thing you care about?
Obviously I do it because I know you would come.
Shut up and watch" Said Broly pointing to the projected film with his third eye, which could be used for everything
After sitting down and grabbing the popcorn package, Gohan watched the movie with Broly
A film where two young men trained in a world in ruins ...
A training where the oldest trained the youngest with patience, kindness, enthusiasm and severity
But not only in combat ... also in other aspects ... it was as if that older boy with dark hair was something more than a friend or the trainer of the little boy with lilac hair (no homo)...
It was as if he were his older brother, his father figure, someone who could be trusted and worthy of imitation
Someone who looked a lot like…
"That's Trunks when he was younger and ...
Is that boy ... me?
Broly ... this is what happened in the future of Trunks?
Did you create that movie with his memories?
You said you wouldn't" Gohan asked very surprised, confused and somewhat disappointed with his teacher… while looking for answers precisely from his master
"I couldn't resist…
And yes, this is the future that he experienced ... and the future that you too could experience" Broly said as he continued to play the movie, skipping parts that he considered unnecessary
"Wow ... I'm very big
Will I be like this in a few years? " Gohan said, fascinated to see his future self, since like every child he wanted to get older (poor idiots)
"Like him?
I doubt it very much" Broly answered practically automatically
"Eh?!
Why?!" Gohan asked puzzled and somewhat offended
"Because this is a Gohan very different from you ...
He is a Gohan built through adversity, tenacity, courage, sacrifice and righteousness.
The androids killed all the fighters ... except for you and Trunks ...
You were practically left alone in a world in ruins against enemies monsters that even outnumbered him…
And despite that, like a great man you took the responsibility of saving this world, training with all your being to become stronger despite not having results… facing those monsters thirsty for blood and destruction with all your might day after day despite hating to fight ... training, helping and caring for Trunks so that one day he can fight by your side…
And also, that in the event that you died in combat, hope wouldn't disappear..." Broly said with an almost hypnotic tone of voice to stimulate Gohan's mind
A Gohan who kept watching the movie quite self-conscious while thinking about Broly's harsh words and their meaning
"Tell me Gohan ...
Is he different from you or not?
And why?" Broly asked once more
"Yes it is…
It is because of everything he has experienced ...
Those circ.u.mstances made him mature, grow and act as he does ...
However ... I am just a spoiled child who hasn't gone through a similar experience ...
And if we're lucky I'll never experience it
So I will never be like him" Gohan answered somewhat discouraged and annoyed with himself
And Broly's answer didn't help him cheer up, rather the opposite "Bingo ...
I see that you have only neglected your body ...
Your brain is sharp as always"
"So…
Do I have to go through that same hell to become what you expect of me? " Gohan said once again feeling a very heavy load on his shoulders.
A load tens of times heavier than the one he felt when Vegeta and company were going to invade the earth
"No please ... what stupid ideas you have Gohan ...
Listen carefully… there are three types of people in this world
1. The idiot, who make the same mistake over and over again
2. The intelligent, who learn from their mistakes
3. The wise, who learn from the mistakes of others.
And now you have a golden opportunity before you ...
Be wise and smart at the same time ...
And the job of a good teacher, like me, is to make his student become wise
Seriously, if you become an idiot, you will be the first person I kill in my life ... " Said Broly as he remembered with disgust the pathetic Gohan from Dragon Ball Super
"EHHH ?? !!!" Gohan yelled, retracing his steps when he felt that bizarre killer instinct that his lovely teacher was directing towards him.
However, Broly continued with his speech, despite having scared Gohan for almost no reason "Some time ago I helped you understand that there is nothing wrong with fighting for justice ...
And now I'm trying to make you see for yourself that peace is never lasting and that you always have to be prepared for anything.
Always!
Or it may be too late when the time comes and the only thing left is frustration and resignation... especially when you know you could have avoided it ... "
While thinking about everything Broly was telling him, Gohan kept watching the movie in which his alternate self from the future faced those two androids with blurred faces (no spoilers) and lost over and over again ... until Trunks had to confirm his tragic death ...
It was at that moment that he understood that he needed to evolve again for his own good and that of others.
"Broly-sensei!
Please train me one more time! " Gohan said as he bowed regretfully to his sensei, with whom he hadn't come to train for more than a year despite the fact that he had requested it
And despite all expectations Broly answered ... "NO!"
A very unexpected and puzzling answer for Gohan "Huh ?!
Why?!"
"Because you can't pretend that I'm always helping you ...
You must be a little more self-sufficient like the Gohan of the future and learn to be disciplined with yourself and not thanks to others ...
But something more intelligent" Answered Broly, who practically renounced his responsibilities as a teacher to teach his student the most important lesson of all
You have to strive for yourself and for yourself
Obviously that refusal despaired Gohan, who didn't know which way to go to achieve his goal "But ...
You've already seen those androids ...
Not even transforming into Super Saiyan I could do anything ...
There has to be some way I can make myself stronger… and you sure…"
"Why so serious?
In this future you still have your father ... if he takes his medication ...
Don't be fooled by his appearance and general inteligence, your old man is a true genius when it comes to fighting and training.
He will come up with something ... or rather ... he is already thinking of something ...
In fact, you should be able to get it after what you've seen today" Broly said as he turned off the broadcast and glanced at Gohan.
And Gohan, as if it were an epiphany, quickly understood what his master was referring to ... while he had a flashback of the battle between Frieza, King Cold and Broly "You don't mean ...
To that transformation from before? "
"More or less…
Aish… you see Gohan… I can't help but be too soft with you…
I always end up helping you, even if I try not to do it or not do it too much ...
I am partly to blame that you are so spoiled [Although on this occasion ... I may have given a poisoned help ... and surely some will take the poison even knowing that it was poisoned in the hope of finding the antidote in the poison itself
Hahahaha]" Broly said flattering himself as usual, but feeling a bit ashamed for the reason... while feeling Gohan's head as if it were a puppy ... as usual
Narcissistic and annoying customs that Gohan had missed so much, especially today
"Yes, thanks Broly-sensei" Gohan said as he thanked Broly to Broly for his wise advice and left the kitchen
"No problem…
And don't think about being lazy or you will not be able to enjoy the rewards that will be unlocked when you meet certain requirements!!!
Aishh… I'm too good a person…" Broly yelled at Gohan, who had already left the kitchen without being able to hear those last words ...
But there was someone who was behind the door from a few minutes ago, waiting for them to finish talking ...
Someone who could hear everything …
"Yes ... I already know that you are a very good person ...
But very silly at sometimes ...
What about now?
Are you still angry and jealous?" Asked Bulma, who entered through the door and with a jump hung on Broly's back, as if She were a koala.
"No, I'm not ...
I mean…
Yes, I'm still a bit upset" Broly said trying to pretend that he was still angry, although it was evident that he was trying hard to stay angry
"Come on little bear ...
You know perfectly well that I would never cheat on you
True?" Bulma insisted, climbing up Broly's rocky back to get his face closer to spoke to him.
But still Broly tried to be tough "Yes I know ...
But that doesn't change the fact that my presence here… "
"That your presence here has changed a lot of things and one of them is that Trunks won't born...
Yes I know, it's weird to think about this ...
But honestly ... I think the only reason why my other self ended up with Vegeta is only because there was no one better around her...
Something quite pathetic to tell the truth
If you had been in those other timelines today Trunks wouldn't have appeared" Said Bulma carefully choosing the words she knew would cheer up her scalable boyfriend
"Yes ... you are absolutely right ..." Broly said a little more animated
It was getting harder and harder for him to pretend that he was still angry ...
"Plus…
No matter how many children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren or husbands of the future or other timelines come here in a time machine invented by me ...
I love you and I will love you infinite times
So change that face, give me a big hug and a good kiss" Bulma said as she tried to face Broly as she climbed from his back
But it was unnecessary, Broly grabbed her and did exactly what Bulma asked "I love you too ...
Sorry if I am sometimes a little ... jealous ... or childish"
And Bulma, somewhat blushing, said "So you heard me ...
Hihi ... Please promise me one thing"
"Whatever you tell me honey" Broly said without thinking twice due to the magic of the moment he was living
"Promise me you won't be mean to Trunks ...
Whether I want it or not, he is the son of an alternative myself who has had a very hard life ...
And Trunks doesn't seem like a bad boy and he has had a very difficult life without a father to take care of him ...
Don't torment him with your jokes please" Bulma said almost predicting her boyfriend's intentions ...
It was at that moment when Broly for the first time in years accepted a constructive criticism, forgot his jealousy, his fondness for bad jokes… and he tried to be a better person
But not too much ...
"You know what…
You're right… The poor son of Vegeta has never had a father ... and of course he deserves a much better one than Vegeta (although he is one of the best father in this anime, especially for what he showed in the Buu saga and Dragon Ball Super ) ...
As long as I am in this timeline, I Broly will strive to be the best alternate past stepfather I nthe multiverse.
I will be so good that he will prefer me to Vegeta.
You will see" Broly said misunderstanding Bulma's intentions and redirecting the bulling he was going to do to Trunks at Vegeta ... as usual ...
Incredible statement that worried Bulma, but she tried to forget about it for her own good and talk about another topic ...
"Well ... try not to overdo yourself ...
By the way, did you hear what those idiots said when I proposed to kill the androids now?" Bulma asked showing the anger, frustration and disappointment she felt towards her group of friends
"Of course honey, I've heard it all
And I think you are absolutely right, by killing Gero and destroying his creations we could avoid that apocalyptic conflict and surely thousands of collateral victims" Broly answered his girlfriend, agreeing with her, but this time especially because she was right
"THANK GOD!
Finally a Saiyan who is not an idiot!
I am so fortunate to have this endangered species in my arms" Bulma said through tears of joy as she hugged Broly and remembered the past events in which the mad Saiyans addicted to fighting had made her despair...
"I know ... I know ..." Broly said as he comforted her by stroking her head ...
"Unfortunately I have already promised not to carry out that plan ... those idiots were the majority ...
Nor can we involve you in this plan ...
Damn…
It's so stupid to know who is going to attack you and stand idly by to give them time to do it ...
What happens if afterwards they can't beat them?
Don't they think with their head?" Bulma said grumbling as she returned she opened the fridge and began to drown her sorrows in homemade alcohol made by Broly
"You are absolutely right, but…
There are other alternatives to your plan that don't necessarily involve killing Gero ... and that would still allow those idiots to fight against their creations"S aid Broly as he offered him a glass so that she wouldn't drink directly from the bottle
"What do you mean?" Bulma asked puzzled as she filled the glass to the brim.
"It is simple…
Change your plan to eliminate the threat before it exists… and focus on creating insurance in case those idiots fail to stop them by force" Broly said with an almost hypnotic tone of voice as he put ice in the glass and a slice of lemon
And that words along with the intoxicating taste of alcohol made Bulma begin to use her head in a more practical way to solve everyday problems "An insurance?"
You mean…" Until she finally understood how to resolve her concerns in a coherent and practical way "Oh yes! It is true!
How could I not think of that before?
We face androids, created by a human ...
A human who in principle could control them ...
They must have errors or weaknesses that he created on purpose… weaknesses that I can find and create countermeasures that allow us to defeat them without having to fight when those idiots are tired of fighting them or lost"
"And as you proposed at the beginning, you could use the Dragon Balls to ask Shenron to give you a magical method so that you can constantly access all of Gero's past and current work and research without him noticing ...
Since the investigation itself is no stronger than Kami, so it should be possible ...
In this way you can know everything about our biomechanical enemy ...
And since you are the smartest woman in the world and we are facing a technological danger there is no one better than you to control this threat" Broly said while giving his girlfriend a shoulder massage while choosing the right words to positively influence her to do something rational, contrary to what was done in the original version.
Appropriate words that made Bulma overly motivated, come out of her small depression and influenced a bit by drunkenness, throw the glass on the ground as if she were an Asgardian
Crash !!
"IT IS TRUE!
HAHAHAHA !!!
Once again the time has come for the great Bulma to solve everything with her privileged mind...
Right now I'll go find the Dragon Balls and make my first wish ...
In addition, there are two and a half years until the arrival of those androids, so I can still use the Dragon Ball again for whatever I want ...
Hehehehe ...
And then I'll go to Kami's palace to use the hyperbolic room to finish my other precious project, which will help me better spy on Gero and his creations for a longer time ...
HU HU HU !!!" Bulma said full of euphoria as she imagined how idiotic Saiyans would kneel before her three years in the future after saving the lives from the hands of the evil androids their were unable to defeat
"Well said
That is my woman!
Try not to fall, that bottle was 40% alochol, but due to some seasonings it tastes very sweet" Broly said as he cleaned up the mess that Bulma had created in the lab with telekinesis
PLOSH!!!
"Are you okay?" Broly asked Bulma, who had gotten too drunk, so much that she had fallen to the ground and was unable to keep her balance.
"Yes...
I think I'll do all of that later ... could you take me to bed?" Bulma said before falling asleep

In the Broly movie theater
"Hey Broly, how much of what you have said and interpreted today is a lie?" Hao asked, since he couldn't read the thoughts of others his curiosity had grown quite
"I am also curious
The part in which you said you felt like an impostor that did not belong to that place and that it saddened you was also part of your lie?" Asked Acacia, who was also an expert in the art of lying, especially to his family and loved ones
"Let's say that 45% lie, 45% truth and ... 10% ambiguity" Broly replied while trying not to have eye contact with anyone
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

The part in which you said you felt like an impostor that did not belong to that place and that it saddened you was also part of your lie?" Asked Acacia, who was also an expert in the art of lying, especially to his family and loved ones
"Let's say that 45% lie, 45% truth and ... 10% ambiguity" Broly replied while trying not to have eye contact with anyone
"Broly-sensei ... Is it what it looks like or... Are you projecting a movie onto the kitchen wall using your third eye as a projector while cleaning dishes with telekinesis? " Gohan asked describing what he was seeing ... Strangely enough ... "If you already know the answer why do you ask the question? I already knew you were coming. You have popcorn next to the microwave" Broly said without moving a millimeter, while he continued projecting the film from his third eye "I didn't know you could do that ... In fact, I don't even know why you do it" Gohan said as he ate popcorn, still fascinated by his master's useful and useless powers. "Is that the only thing you care about? Obviously I do it because I know you would come. Shut up and watch" Said Broly pointing to the projected film with his third eye, which could be used for everything After sitting down and grabbing the popcorn package, Gohan watched the movie with Broly A film where two young men trained in a world in ruins ... A training where the oldest trained the youngest with patience, kindness, enthusiasm and severity But not only in combat ... also in other aspects ... it was as if that older boy with dark hair was something more than a friend or the trainer of the little boy with lilac hair no homo... It was as if he were his older brother, his father figure, someone who could be trusted and worthy of imitation Someone who looked a lot like "That's Trunks when he was younger and ... Is that boy ... me? Broly ... this is what happened in the future of Trunks? Did you create that movie with his memories? You said you wouldn't" Gohan asked very surprised, confused and somewhat disappointed with his teacher while looking for answers precisely from his master "I couldn't resist And yes, this is the future that he experienced ... and the future that you too could experience" Broly said as he continued to play the movie, skipping parts that he considered unnecessary "Wow ... I'm very big Will I be like this in a few years? " Gohan said, fascinated to see his future self, since like every child he wanted to get older poor idiots "Like him? I doubt it very much" Broly answered practically automatically "Eh?! Why?!" Gohan asked puzzled and somewhat offended "Because this is a Gohan very different from you ... He is a Gohan built through adversity, tenacity, courage, sacrifice and righteousness. The androids killed all the fighters ... except for you and Trunks ... You were practically left alone in a world in ruins against enemies monsters that even outnumbered him And despite that, like a great man you took the responsibility of saving this world, training with all your being to become stronger despite not having results facing those monsters thirsty for blood and destruction with all your might day after day despite hating to fight ... training, helping and caring for Trunks so that one day he can fight by your side And also, that in the event that you died in combat, hope wouldn't disappear..." Broly said with an almost hypnotic tone of voice to stimulate Gohan's mind A Gohan who kept watching the movie quite self-conscious while thinking about Broly's harsh words and their meaning "Tell me Gohan ... Is he different from you or not? And why?" Broly asked once more "Yes it is It is because of everything he has experienced ... Those circ.u.mstances made him mature, grow and act as he does ... However ... I am just a spoiled child who hasn't gone through a similar experience ... And if we're lucky I'll never experience it So I will never be like him" Gohan answered somewhat discouraged and annoyed with himself And Broly's answer didn't help him cheer up, rather the opposite "Bingo ... I see that you have only neglected your body ... Your brain is sharp as always" "So Do I have to go through that same hell to become what you expect of me? " Gohan said once again feeling a very heavy load on his shoulders. A load tens of times heavier than the one he felt when Vegeta and company were going to invade the earth "No please ... what stupid ideas you have Gohan ... Listen carefully there are three types of people in this world 1. The idiot, who make the same mistake over and over again 2. The intelligent, who learn from their mistakes 3. The wise, who learn from the mistakes of others. And now you have a golden opportunity before you ... Be wise and smart at the same time ... And the job of a good teacher, like me, is to make his student become wise Seriously, if you become an idiot, you will be the first person I kill in my life ... " Said Broly as he remembered with disgust the pathetic Gohan from Dragon Ball Super "EHHH ?? !!!" Gohan yelled, retracing his steps when he felt that bizarre killer instinct that his lovely teacher was directing towards him. However, Broly continued with his speech, despite having scared Gohan for almost no reason "Some time ago I helped you understand that there is nothing wrong with fighting for justice ... And now I'm trying to make you see for yourself that peace is never lasting and that you always have to be prepared for anything. Always! Or it may be too late when the time comes and the only thing left is frustration and resignation... especially when you know you could have avoided it ... " While thinking about everything Broly was telling him, Gohan kept watching the movie in which his alternate self from the future faced those two androids with blurred faces no spoilers and lost over and over again ... until Trunks had to confirm his tragic death ... It was at that moment that he understood that he needed to evolve again for his own good and that of others. "Broly-sensei! Please train me one more time! " Gohan said as he bowed regretfully to his sensei, with whom he hadn't come to train for more than a year despite the fact that he had requested it And despite all expectations Broly answered ... "NO!" A very unexpected and puzzling answer for Gohan "Huh ?! Why?!" "Because you can't pretend that I'm always helping you ... You must be a little more self-sufficient like the Gohan of the future and learn to be disciplined with yourself and not thanks to others ... But something more intelligent" Answered Broly, who practically renounced his responsibilities as a teacher to teach his student the most important lesson of all You have to strive for yourself and for yourself Obviously that refusal despaired Gohan, who didn't know which way to go to achieve his goal "But ... You've already seen those androids ... Not even transforming into Super Saiyan I could do anything ... There has to be some way I can make myself stronger and you sure" "Why so serious? In this future you still have your father ... if he takes his medication ... Don't be fooled by his appearance and general inteligence, your old man is a true genius when it comes to fighting and training. He will come up with something ... or rather ... he is already thinking of something ... In fact, you should be able to get it after what you've seen today" Broly said as he turned off the broadcast and glanced at Gohan. And Gohan, as if it were an epiphany, quickly understood what his master was referring to ... while he had a flashback of the battle between Frieza, King Cold and Broly "You don't mean ... To that transformation from before? " "More or less Aish you see Gohan I can't help but be too soft with you I always end up helping you, even if I try not to do it or not do it too much ... I am partly to blame that you are so spoiled Although on this occasion ... I may have given a poisoned help ... and surely some will take the poison even knowing that it was poisoned in the hope of finding the antidote in the poison itself Hahahaha" Broly said flattering himself as usual, but feeling a bit ashamed for the reason... while feeling Gohan's head as if it were a puppy ... as usual Narcissistic and annoying customs that Gohan had missed so much, especially today "Yes, thanks Broly-sensei" Gohan said as he thanked Broly to Broly for his wise advice and left the kitchen "No problem And don't think about being lazy or you will not be able to enjoy the rewards that will be unlocked when you meet certain requirements!!! Aishh I'm too good a person" Broly yelled at Gohan, who had already left the kitchen without being able to hear those last words ... But there was someone who was behind the door from a few minutes ago, waiting for them to finish talking ... Someone who could hear everything "Yes ... I already know that you are a very good person ... But very silly at sometimes ... What about now? Are you still angry and jealous?" Asked Bulma, who entered through the door and with a jump hung on Broly's back, as if She were a koala. "No, I'm not ... I mean Yes, I'm still a bit upset" Broly said trying to pretend that he was still angry, although it was evident that he was trying hard to stay angry "Come on little bear ... You know perfectly well that I would never cheat on you True?" Bulma insisted, climbing up Broly's rocky back to get his face closer to spoke to him. But still Broly tried to be tough "Yes I know ... But that doesn't change the fact that my presence here " "That your presence here has changed a lot of things and one of them is that Trunks won't born... Yes I know, it's weird to think about this ... But honestly ... I think the only reason why my other self ended up with Vegeta is only because there was no one better around her... Something quite pathetic to tell the truth If you had been in those other timelines today Trunks wouldn't have appeared" Said Bulma carefully choosing the words she knew would cheer up her scalable boyfriend "Yes ... you are absolutely right ..." Broly said a little more animated It was getting harder and harder for him to pretend that he was still angry ... "Plus No matter how many children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren or husbands of the future or other timelines come here in a time machine invented by me ... I love you and I will love you infinite times So change that face, give me a big hug and a good kiss" Bulma said as she tried to face Broly as she climbed from his back But it was unnecessary, Broly grabbed her and did exactly what Bulma asked "I love you too ... Sorry if I am sometimes a little ... jealous ... or childish" And Bulma, somewhat blushing, said "So you heard me ... Hihi ... Please promise me one thing" "Whatever you tell me honey" Broly said without thinking twice due to the magic of the moment he was living "Promise me you won't be mean to Trunks ... Whether I want it or not, he is the son of an alternative myself who has had a very hard life ... And Trunks doesn't seem like a bad boy and he has had a very difficult life without a father to take care of him ... Don't torment him with your jokes please" Bulma said almost predicting her boyfriend's intentions ... It was at that moment when Broly for the first time in years accepted a constructive criticism, forgot his jealousy, his fondness for bad jokes and he tried to be a better person But not too much ... "You know what You're right The poor son of Vegeta has never had a father ... and of course he deserves a much better one than Vegeta although he is one of the best father in this anime, especially for what he showed in the Buu saga and Dragon Ball Super ... As long as I am in this timeline, I Broly will strive to be the best alternate past stepfather I nthe multiverse. I will be so good that he will prefer me to Vegeta. You will see" Broly said misunderstanding Bulma's intentions and redirecting the bulling he was going to do to Trunks at Vegeta ... as usual ... Incredible statement that worried Bulma, but she tried to forget about it for her own good and talk about another topic ... "Well ... try not to overdo yourself ... By the way, did you hear what those idiots said when I proposed to kill the androids now?" Bulma asked showing the anger, frustration and disappointment she felt towards her group of friends "Of course honey, I've heard it all And I think you are absolutely right, by killing Gero and destroying his creations we could avoid that apocalyptic conflict and surely thousands of collateral victims" Broly answered his girlfriend, agreeing with her, but this time especially because she was right "THANK GOD! Finally a Saiyan who is not an idiot! I am so fortunate to have this endangered species in my arms" Bulma said through tears of joy as she hugged Broly and remembered the past events in which the mad Saiyans addicted to fighting had made her despair... "I know ... I know ..." Broly said as he comforted her by stroking her head ... "Unfortunately I have already promised not to carry out that plan ... those idiots were the majority ... Nor can we involve you in this plan ... Damn It's so stupid to know who is going to attack you and stand idly by to give them time to do it ... What happens if afterwards they can't beat them? Don't they think with their head?" Bulma said grumbling as she returned she opened the fridge and began to drown her sorrows in homemade alcohol made by Broly "You are absolutely right, but There are other alternatives to your plan that don't necessarily involve killing Gero ... and that would still allow those idiots to fight against their creations"S aid Broly as he offered him a glass so that she wouldn't drink directly from the bottle "What do you mean?" Bulma asked puzzled as she filled the glass to the brim. "It is simple Change your plan to eliminate the threat before it exists and focus on creating insurance in case those idiots fail to stop them by force" Broly said with an almost hypnotic tone of voice as he put ice in the glass and a slice of lemon And that words along with the intoxicating taste of alcohol made Bulma begin to use her head in a more practical way to solve everyday problems "An insurance?" You mean" Until she finally understood how to resolve her concerns in a coherent and practical way "Oh yes! It is true! How could I not think of that before? We face androids, created by a human ... A human who in principle could control them ... They must have errors or weaknesses that he created on purpose weaknesses that I can find and create countermeasures that allow us to defeat them without having to fight when those idiots are tired of fighting them or lost" "And as you proposed at the beginning, you could use the Dragon Balls to ask Shenron to give you a magical method so that you can constantly access all of Gero's past and current work and research without him noticing ... Since the investigation itself is no stronger than Kami, so it should be possible ... In this way you can know everything about our biomechanical enemy ... And since you are the smartest woman in the world and we are facing a technological danger there is no one better than you to control this threat" Broly said while giving his girlfriend a shoulder massage while choosing the right words to positively influence her to do something rational, contrary to what was done in the original version. Appropriate words that made Bulma overly motivated, come out of her small depression and influenced a bit by drunkenness, throw the glass on the ground as if she were an Asgardian Crash !! "IT IS TRUE! HAHAHAHA !!! Once again the time has come for the great Bulma to solve everything with her privileged mind... Right now I'll go find the Dragon Balls and make my first wish ... In addition, there are two and a half years until the arrival of those androids, so I can still use the Dragon Ball again for whatever I want ... Hehehehe ... And then I'll go to Kami's palace to use the hyperbolic room to finish my other precious project, which will help me better spy on Gero and his creations for a longer time ... HU HU HU !!!" Bulma said full of euphoria as she imagined how idiotic Saiyans would kneel before her three years in the future after saving the lives from the hands of the evil androids their were unable to defeat "Well said That is my woman! Try not to fall, that bottle was 40% alochol, but due to some seasonings it tastes very sweet" Broly said as he cleaned up the mess that Bulma had created in the lab with telekinesis PLOSH!!! "Are you okay?" Broly asked Bulma, who had gotten too drunk, so much that she had fallen to the ground and was unable to keep her balance. "Yes... I think I'll do all of that later ... could you take me to bed?" Bulma said before falling asleep --- Desire Realm In Broly Planet In Broly City At the Broly Mansion ... In the Broly movie theater "Hey Broly, how much of what you have said and interpreted today is a lie?" Hao asked, since he couldn't read the thoughts of others his curiosity had grown quite "I am also curious The part in which you said you felt like an impostor that did not belong to that place and that it saddened you was also part of your lie?"
