Something I've thought about is how Freeza and his family crafted the saiyan race into living weapons. Saiyans themselves are historically dangerious given their past genocide of the Tuffles before being absourbed into the empire, but their weaponization by it was something else.

Although these things are never stated I think there's a lot to gather from what little we see and what isn't shown or said. Ignoring Super or GT while looking at DBZ and Episode of Bardock (what else is there to look at, also this argument is weakened primarly by Dragon Ball Super: Broly since it gaves a glimps into saiyan life) I think its fair to say that King Cold and Freeza introduced technology and systems that have allowed for their weaponization. Things like the birthing pod and the fact that they send new "borns" to level planets make it so that

In the time it's taken me to write this up I found this post which just makes me feel correct, or at least right to question cause like I'm not alone in the thoughts. (A reddit tread touching on the logistics of saiyan planetary takeover)

At one point I was like DBz would have better if it had a different writer. No hate towards Akira Toriyama but the world is kinda small and only shrunk with time. There's not many points where there's clear forshadowing of anything (which I think isn't true) or things where we see the after effects of something. Freeza's a good example, hes some galactic emporer but once he's killed we don't see what that means, cause for the Z figthers it only means he ded.

I read naruto for once a couple years back (about 2 or 3). To me naruto is good till like around the 4th great ninja war. Although I don't hate Kaguya and the Ōtsutsuki clan its like alot goes out of its way to shoe horn her in. To me almost everything up to Pain was setup and intentinal, Madara too? (thinking about it as I type) To me with Nagato's and the akatsuki backgroud in mind it makes sense that they chose their path towards "peace" (an implementation of the MAD doctrine via making a weapon of the tail beasts soooo powerful no one woul dare pull the trigger).

Then like Madara wanted to do the forever dream sleep jutsu (infinite tsukuyomi) cause reality is mean and hurtful and disapointing (honestly I forget what he wanted a nigga like him so powerful that its like what you mean you're this strong cause you struggled Tangent (I swear there's so many other anime that hit the same life hard I wanna opt out for dream world note Eva is one)).

Anyway I was like Kaguya's story is soo sad but then I was like no its not. Her herself is quite odd aside from the no speaking. Based on Boruto she was supposed to be sacrificed to the divine tree as in she was weaker and of a lower position compared to Isshiki the Ōtsutsuki she came with, the one so strong it had Peak Naruto and Sasuke struggling and you telling me she boddied him so hard that he needed to mark anybody resulting in Jigen. A body so incompatible that if he were to use his power he'd emerge early and slowly die as a result (This happened and that's why they won while still needing to sacrifice Kurama).

How did she Body him at all? He would've been at his peak right? Whatever ok, so after that she lands on planet planting the divine tree with the intent of using it to make an army of white zetsus to fight her clan (I think, something I'm assuming based on her actions. She don't talk so . . .). The reason that shes even sacrificing people, for that conversion. She proceeds to never communicate this to anyone, let alone the existential threat that her clan is. If she had ever communicated this even to her children, then things would be different (I imagine she'd still fight them cause sacrificing people. bye bye gf). Her life played out this way cause she nevered communicated? Tangent Assuming she was gonna fight her clan then what was the plan? She needed to be stronger. I assume it'd be consuming the tree's fruit repeatedly. Not sure if this would work long term cause isn't it supposed to be like the tree of might (large tree that consumes all life to feed itself killing planet as a result) assuming the planet can recover from this with time (killing all life at that time and bouncing back, I assume). Thing is the tree needs an Ōtsutsuki sacrifice to produce fruit, that why she was brought to begin with, that's why the Ōtsutsuki operates with a buddy system, to trade that buddy for fruit. So I guess assuming she could she'd mark someone, let them develop, and feed them to the 10 tails to produce the chakra fruit for her consumption. Repeat till they appear.

For as much as I like the Ōtsutsuki and their whole thing, I have to acknowledge that to me they feel less solid than the akatsuki. I get them completely and I feel bad that the "peace" Nagato wanted to achieve came true anyway just by a different means (He wanted the akatsuki to be a force the 5 great nations had to unite against to defeat. They would've done a show of force with this composite tailed-beast WMD to get them to unite, to show how serious the situation is.). If it wasn't for the 4th great ninja war and it's reveal of a threat like Kaguya alongside the idea of more like her existing (mind you she was the weakest, and the Kages couldn't even stand against Madara at the time who is weaker than Kaguya) they wouldn't have at least maintained their alliance.

Boruto is a neat Sci-Fi
