"This is…"
Takagi Souichiro's mind vaguely formed a conjecture.
The narration sounded again:
[And in the war between the Saiyans and the Tuffles, the most decisive factor was the eight-year cycle of the full moon on Planet Tuffle.]
In the center of the screen, the dark clouds looming over the battlefield were pierced by moonlight.
A Saiyan clad in animal hides looked up at the full moon in the sky above.
Instantly, the Saiyan's face grew even more ferocious.
Sharp fangs uncontrollably protruded from his mouth, his skin and flesh began to stretch and expand on their own, continuously growing gray-black fur.
Everyone was stunned.
The monsters the Saiyans transformed into were precisely the giant ape demons running rampant on the battlefield at the video's beginning!
[When Saiyans see the full moon, they transform into monsters, their power increasing tenfold compared to their normal state!]
Accompanying the narration, the Saiyan, now transformed into a Great Ape, threw a punch.
The surrounding tall buildings crumbled like tofu under the terrifying impact.
When they stomped their feet down, countless Tuffles were crushed to death beneath them.
[This was the greatest blow the Saiyans dealt to the Tuffles, and the final straw that broke them. And so, the Saiyans learned the Tuffles' civilization while increasing their own population, until finally, Planet Tuffle was completely dominated by the Saiyans.]
[This planet was then named [Planet Vegeta] by the first Saiyan King, Vegeta. Thereafter, 'Vegeta' became the name of every successive Saiyan king.]
"Phew…"
After hearing this explanation, countless viewers let out a heavy sigh.
This was the origin story of the Saiyans…
[Hiruzen: The previous video mentioned that the Saiyans' daily routine is to kill all the natives of a planet and then sell it at a high price to aliens… So it's not just their job, they even acquired their own home planet this way.]
"It's a good thing my tail was removed by God a long time ago… Huh?"
In Mt. Paozu, Goku, who had just recently married Chichi, glanced at his now smooth backside. At the end of his sentence, his expression suddenly froze.
"What's wrong, Goku?"
Chichi, who had finally managed to teach him how to 'make a baby', noticed the change in Goku's expression.
Goku's body began to tremble violently as he muttered to himself:
"Back then… during my first Tenkaichi Budokai… the one who turned into a giant ape and wreaked havoc at the venue was me… The one who stepped on Grandpa Gohan to death was also me!"
Because he couldn't control the Great Ape's power before his tail was removed, he had no memory after transforming.
When he first learned the tail was the key to the Saiyan transformation, and lacking those memories, Goku initially thought he had never transformed before.
But then Goku remembered.
When he was little, his grandfather had warned him.
Monsters came out during the full moon, so whenever the moon was full, his grandfather would demand he return home before dark.
Now Goku realized.
Grandpa Gohan was crushed to death by him!
Chichi didn't know how to comfort Goku for a moment, so she could only silently hold him in her arms.
Meanwhile, on Planet Terra, Chika, Miku, and the other girls looked with shock at the tail wrapped around Lott's waist.
They knew the frequency of full moons on Planet Terra was much higher than the eight-year cycle on Planet Vegeta.
A full moon could occur every month!
Noticing the shock and confusion on Chika and the others' faces, Lott said calmly:
"Don't worry, I go to bed early."
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Also, I don't necessarily need to wait for a full moon to transform."
However, Lott's next sentence made everyone shudder violently once more.
'What the heck!?'
…
While most people in the chat group were marveling at the Saiyans' newly revealed transformation ability, the Hero Association, led by Yusaku, were still repeatedly examining the earlier screenshot.
"Everyone noticed this, right?"
Yusaku pointed at the screenshot showing the Tuffle's laser gun hitting the Saiyan's tail on screen, causing the Saiyan to collapse and remain on the ground for a long time.
"From the video just now, we observed that Saiyans are so tough that even being shot by firearms leaves them unscathed. So why did this Saiyan have such a strong reaction just from being hit on the tail?"
Kudo Yusaku expounded eloquently:
"I suspect this is the Saiyans' weak point!"
The hearts of the Hero Association members trembled.
'The Saiyans' weakness?'
'This was major news!'
It had to be said that Yusaku's deductive skills were top-notch.
Through his analysis, everyone indeed recognized this issue.
In the combat footage, facing the Tuffles' machine gun fire, even when hit, the bullets rarely pierced the Saiyans' skin and flesh.
Even when shot, they would ignore it completely, still attacking wildly like tigers or wolves.
But why, when only their tail was hit, without even breaking the skin, was their reaction so severe?
Other than that spot being a Saiyan weak point, there didn't seem to be any other explanation.
"That Saiyan named 'Son Goku' doesn't seem to have a tail, right? Did he discover this weakness and remove his own tail?"
Shinichi also offered his own deduction.
Everyone's expressions changed again.
They also remembered that Goku indeed had no tail.
Hearing Shinichi say this… Damn, it sounded so plausible.
