Here’s A Reference Sheet Of All Of Kage’s Forms
Here’s a reference sheet of all of Kage’s forms
For a little explanation, the U13 au has its own fusion technique! As you can tell from some of my other posts showcasing this au, it takes some aspects of Steven Universe. The fusion technique is the same but with a Dragon Ball twist. This is what I call Coalescence Fusion!
In Universe 13, Coalescence Fusion is a technique that was created by the Tuffles and then appropriated passed onto the Saiyans as a way to strengthen their bonds but the reason to why would constantly change through the passage of time.
For the Tuffles, it was about strengthening bonds in mutual relationships and a sign of personal growth. When the Saiyans conquered their planet and renamed it Planet Vegeta, “strengthening bonds” through fusion was more about a sense of comradery and combining battle power to overtake their enemies rather than personal growth. The bigger the fusion, the stronger the warrior.
In order to one to fuse with this technique, all parties have to make their energies equal to one another’s. (Usually a fusion consists of two or more people) This creates an equilibrium that helps make a well balanced fusion. One can level out their energy in many different ways, they can dance, sing, meditate… as long they can combine together and maintain a balance, there is no particular way to fuse. Now technically one can stayed fused forever as long as long as they have strong enough of a connection. But as soon as their energies are thrown out of balance or they’re incapacitated in some way, the fusion can un-fuse or become unstable. After a fusion fails, there’s usually a 20 minute gap before one can fuse again, however depending on how strong the parties’ connection to each other is, the faster the recover rate can be.
In some Saiyan communities, (more commonly in low or mid class ranks) Coalescence Fusion can have a romantic connotation depending on how quickly a party can fuse together. Now while Saiyans aren’t much for romance, they are a warrior race after all, some saw that aspect as more of a benefit for encouraging stronger warriors. Others see it as more of a hinderance in battle.
As time moved forward, restrictions on who could fuse together became more apparent. (Basically no mixing of classes) In more elite circles, Coalescence Fusion was used more as a way of courtship and in a way to literally “merge” assets. When thinking about it that way, fusion to elites is more important in a socio-economic setting than on the battlefield.
For Kage specifically, because he was a fusion of two different classes (an elite and a low-class) combined with the fact that Kakarot and Vegeta fused together so quickly; albeit entirely on accident. Kage was practically shunned from a majority of the Saiyan race, believing them to be an abomination. The elites wouldn’t accept him due to them believing that Kakarot soiled the royal bloodline by fraternizing with Vegeta through fusion (Even though they weren’t even a couple at the time.) and the low class wouldn’t accept him because they felt they didn’t trust Vegeta, believing a fusion between him and Kakarot was ultimately dangerous. This lead them to unfuse from panic, Vegeta getting injured in the process (more on that at a different time ;) ) and they run away to Earth in an attempt to escape from certain death. By landing on Earth, their relationship became stronger and thus, their fusion, Kage became ultimately stronger as a result. This is exemplified through Kage’s different forms throughout the years to signify ever changing nature of their relationship. Sorry for the long lore dump but hopefully it makes sense!

Guess what?? Another U13 au sketch dump lmao
Also for those wondering about the earrings they have on, no they’re not destroyer earrings. They’re wedding earrings! This concept was inspired by @nessguts but I decided to add some more world-building because who doesn’t like more Saiyan lore? :D I might make a separate post about it later so I don’t make this one too long lol but in the meantime, enjoy this fluff of U7 meeting their U13 counterparts.
HAHAHA YES THE TORMENT OF ADOBE PREMIERE IS OVER

TLDR: This is my headcanon for how I believe Saiyans wedding traditions work! (At least in U13)
Hopefully my writing isn’t too small but in case it is, I’ll just quote it all below. Enjoy! (Also here’s another rupphire inspired drawing,,,, hope y’all don’t mind lol)
“The earring is also important. Similar to a wedding ring, it symbolizes marriage. The cuff earrings are typically made of brass and can be easily customized, usually with engravings on the inside. Unlike in human culture, there isn’t another set. There is only one set, it’s only the positioning that changes. Each partner gets one cuff for the opposite ear. When engaged, each will position it on the lower part of the ear. Once married, they will place it higher up.”

“When proposing, the earring will be tied to the flower’s stem.”
“When proposing, one person will present the flower with the earring tied to it to their significant other and ask if they accept the proposal.”
“If the answer is a definitive ‘yes,’ then the recipient will take the earring and put the flower in the presenter’s hair.”
“If the answer is ‘yes, but not right now,’ then the recipient will put the flower in their own hair but give the earring to the presenter. They will keep it until the both of them are ready.”
“If the recipient is unsure or needs to still think about it, then they’ll take the earring but not the flower and will take it only if they accept it.”
“If the answer is ‘no,’ then the recipient won’t take anything at all.”
“Saiyan wedding ceremonies are a lot less extravagant than human ones. Each partner will wear something significant to their family line and that’s as far as it goes dress-wise. However for Kakarot and Vegeta, that wasn’t the case as they went all out and had a Human-Saiyan mixed wedding since they got married on Earth, partly as an act of unity between Planet Vegeta and humanity (officially).”
“That’s a story for another time. Sorry!”
*pointing at Vegeta* “Wearing his father’s old coronation attire as a wedding suit”
*pointing at Kakarot’s shoes* “Part of father’s old headband”
“The flower is used in the ceremony by cultivating its seeds and blending them into a strong and potent drink. This drink is said to give anyone who drinks it a longer lasting life along with a small power boost. Consuming it symbolizes an unbreakable bond, ever lasting even after death. This part is usually presented by both of the couple’s families, however it’s more acceptable nowadays to have it be presented by an elder of either of their respected communities. The only people allowed to drink this beverage is the couple.”
*pointing at both Kakarot and Vegeta* “kneeling”
*pointing at Bardock* “Yes, Bardock is alive in this AU!
“But be careful, it’s quite an eclectic taste.”
Vegeta: *thinking* Bitter…
“After that part of the ceremony has ended, each partner will move their earrings up. They are married and the reception will begin!”
“With lots of food obviously.”
Thank you so much to @trenchman93 for dubbing one of my comics from my Rejects AU! I saw this on Twitter and I’m still feeling the adrenaline rush from seeing this. 😭💗💕 It makes me so happy, I can’t believe this is real. Be sure to follow his YouTube channel too! He does fantastic work.
There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue!
I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product.
Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?
Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.
Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases.
Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
Get ready for a whole lotta bloody crazy mischief! Because our new short film promoting our game, We The Uncommon is coming soon. Get hyped for Fantasize!
What do you think Ace’s song choices would be if he were to sing to 2D?? 👀
To sing to him? Umm... honestly I have two things I think he could sing to him.
Making Days Longer by RJD2 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ekarH5N1srU)
or
To Be Counted Among Men by Villagers (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aiZDtczsj5o)
I think of these songs specifically because I don’t think he was the big rocker/greaser type of guy. Maybe when he was younger, but I think since Ace has matured he moved away from that genre into more chill music. (And blues if you wanna count his work on The Now Now)
Plus, imagine Ace singing one of these songs when he’s comforting 2D when he’s having a panic attack or just can’t fall asleep! Afterwards just both of them cuddling up together in loads of blankets, just giving each other lots of little kisses and what not...
I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.
Oh and maybe when he isn’t singing specifically for 2D, he’s probably singing something from Jack Stauber. In case you don’t know him, look him up. Immediately. Please. That dude is so freaking talented.
To me, this is Ace’s spirit animal. This man right here. 👆That man. Ace is weirdo and so is Jack Stauber. And adorable. They’re both adorable weirdos.
