| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: In Chapter 11, Kayos realizes that plot contrivance is in effect when Chichi expresses a desire to call her father while they’re on the mainland, saying that the island doesn’t have good reception, which doesn’t make sense for Bulma’s family. | |

Power at a Price: Unique to this fic, the Dragon Moon is a millennial event lasting about six months, which causes the Dragon Balls to recharge after only one day. But once the Dragon Moon ends, the recharge time in years is equal to the number of wishes made during that time. | |

| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_20e6a6e7 | comment |
It Only Works Once: The only proviso that comes with Shenron is that he can never grant exactly the same wish twice. This undermines the whole Death Is Cheap shtick that the series is known for, as it would require another set of Dragon Balls to revive someone a second time. | |

Guile Hero: Kayos starts off as a normal human, and even after he starts bulking up and learning magic under Fortuneteller Baba, he uses his powers in matters of subterfuge and deception rather than straightforward assault. He puts it best in Chapter 3 when talking about how he would defeat someone who was immortal: | |

Secret Test of Character: The Repentant Miser only teaches his “Selfless Style� of Ki manipulation to people who are seeking it for selfless reasons; he reveals himself to Krillin and agrees to teach him after Krillin affirms that he’s doing everything he’s doing because he wants to protect his family. And that is definitely the main reason; he definitely doesn’t let people run through the big tourist trap that is his namesake temple and lose lots of money in the process purely for kicks. | |

Innocent Fanservice Girl: During the Training Montage chapters, Kayos alludes to going to the bathroom late one night and finding a naked Goku in the hallway eating ham, and the Saiyan’s reaction is to ask Kayos if he wants any. It seems the Z Fighters in general don’t think much of nudity, and that incident with Goku made Kayos get over his own modesty. | |

Irrational Hatred | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_55554032 | comment |
Irrational Hatred: Or at least mistrust, from Krillin towards Kayos, from the moment they first meet and Kayos mentions how he’d use poison to take down Goku if he had to. It’s not to the extent that Krillin won’t fight alongside him or listen to him when he has good ideas, but he still has some mistrust for Kayos’s underhanded tactics. Soon enough, the rest of the Z Fighters agree that he’s being unreasonable with the grudge, and he finally lets it go after Kayos intercepts Vegeta’s Galick Gun for them, almost dying in the process. | |

Yin-Yang Bomb: According to the Scroll of Knowledge at the end of Chapter 6, Kayos has the potential to become the Silver Sorcerer. At first, it seems like this just means he can wield Good and Evil magic in perfect balance. But when Baba brings up different colors of magic-users and Kayos asks about Silver, Baba says that the color is a myth, and only elaborates when Kayos told her what the Scroll said: | |

Pragmatic Villainy | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy: King Cold and Cooler aren't good, by any means, but unlike Frieza, they see far more value in keeping their victims alive and subjecting them instead of wiping them out. Frieza zigzags this himself, as he doesn't believe in keeping anyone around who can potentially overpower him. It's why he blew up Planet Vegeta and why he plans to destroy Namek once he's used the Dragon Balls. But while he was right to be concerned about the Super Saiyans, they only rose up against him because he betrayed them first. | |

After Chichi is nearly killed by Lord Slug, their power increases to be a match for Goku. After Vegeta recovers from his clash with the Z Fighters, he experiences this for the first time in his life since nobody had ever pushed him to the brink of death before. | |

Literal Split Personality | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_715c463e | comment |
Literal Split Personality: As in canon, Kami and Piccolo are two halves of the Nameless Namek, who shed his evil traits to become Guardian of Earth. But in this story, it comes to light that what the Nameless Namek cast aside that became Piccolo were only the traits he perceived as detrimental to his goal…including the desire to become Guardian of Earth in the first place, which manifested in King Piccolo’s desire to rule the world. Lord Slug even reveals that they weren’t properly separated; if they were, their lives wouldn’t be tied to each other. With all of these revelations, Kami and Piccolo have a proper heart-to-heart to make peace with each other, ending with Kami fusing them back together. It also comes to light that in canon, even when Piccolo and Kami recombined, it didn't recreate their original self. Since Piccolo had already combined with Nail on Namek, the two were no longer equal halves, and Piccolo's personality was by far the dominant one after the re-fusion. Lord Slug performed the Separation Ritual as well, incarnating his compassion, empathy, honor, and doubt into a separate form and then leaving it at the mercy of a group of vile raiders. | |

Named by the Adaptation: In the original series, after Piccolo fused with Kami, he just kept going by Piccolo, having long forgotten his real name. Here, at Isco's suggestion, he takes the name Senzanote Italian for "without," the closest thing Isco could find to a name that meant "Nameless" as a placeholder until (or unless) he decides on a new name. | |

Emerald: Growing their magic like a garden. Sapphire: Control and domination. Violet: Pruning their magic like a tree, sometimes to self-destruction. Pink: Copycats of other colors. Brown: Thieves who steal magic from others. Ebony: Using otherwise unusable magic; Evil-adjacent. Ivory: Purist rule-followers; Good-adjacent.

Adaptational Badass | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Abundant, thanks to Kayos’s intervention. Yamcha is the one who dies to Raditz when he comes to Earth. Hence, he’s the one who trains under King Kai and learns the Kaio-Ken and Spirit Bomb techniques. A couple of gentle nudges to Chichi cause her to decide to go with Goku and Gohan for their search for the Dragon Balls. This starts a progressive building of her confidence that leads to her joining the Z Fighters and getting back into fighting shape. And that’s before they learn that her mother was a Saiyan. Krillin, following advice from the Scroll of Knowledge, finds a reclusive gentleman who teaches him how to stretch out his usage of ki and make the most of every particle. This conservative technique puts his energy on par with Goku. Master Roshi helps the others train, breaking bad habits that Goku and the others had fallen into and getting back into proper shape himself. Then he dies to Nappa and is invited to train under King Kai. Tien and Chiaotzu, also following advice from Kayos’s scroll, learn how to fight in tandem, passing energy between each other and even duplicating each other’s techniques. Bulma uses her mechanical know-how to support the others, and that’s still her preferred role. But after talking with Kayos, she decides to take active measures by building power armor with electrical weaponry. Driven to desperate measures against Vegeta and Nappa, Kayos summons Shenron and wishes for everyone in Goku’s family with Saiyan blood to be able to regrow their tails at will and have perfect control over their Oozaru forms. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: This particular person surviving doesn't make a massive impact in and of itself, but the circumstances that lead to it will: Miguel, Hercule's wife and Videl's mother, whom Kayos provides a cure for in the form of a Senzu Bean and a pill specifically made to deal with her fatal heart condition. And all of this purely as a show of good faith for Hercule to step into his role as the Z Fighters' PR representative far ahead of time. | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: In Chapter 13, Gohan asks Piccolo why he would want to rule the earth. When Piccolo realizes he’s not asking from a “why would you want to do bad things?� perspective, he pauses to listen. Gohan outlines The Perils of Being the Best and The Chains of Commanding, unable to understand why anyone would ever want to rule the world. Piccolo hadn’t considered those points before, and soon after decides he cares more about being free. | |

Cliff Hanger | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_901dbf9a | comment |
Cliffhanger: Chapter 11 ends with the Z Fighters learning that someone other than them has gathered the Dragon Balls and used the wish to unearth Dr. Wheelo and his laboratory. Chapter 16 ends with the Z Fighters, barely off their clash with Raditz, engaging Vegeta and Nappa as they arrive on Earth. Chapter 17 ends with Vegeta and Nappa flying off when they sense Gohan's power level back at the research station. Chapter 18 ends with Chichi growing a Saiyan tail. Chapter 20 ends with the Z Fighters learning that someone other than them has gathered the Dragon Balls (again), followed by a cut to Lord Slug receiving his wish for eternal youth. Chapter 21 ends with Lord Slug suddenly appearing somewhere else far from the battlefield where the Z Fighters have just decimated his army. Where? Why, on the lookout, right behind Kami, of course. Chapter 24 ends with Senza finding out about Gohan's newly adopted pet dragon, Icarus. Chapter 28 ends with the reveal that the source of the distress call the Z Fighters answered is The Tree of Might. Chapter 29 ends with Kayos getting a proper spike in his evil magic for the first time when he devours the only fruit from the Tree of Might. | |

The solemnity of Kayos’s conversation with Kami breaks when Kami asks if other Saiyans ever came to Earth. Which is to say, Nappa and Vegeta are en route and will be touching down in a few minutes. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Discussed when Kayos reveals to the Z Fighters that he knows about the Dragon Balls, but makes it clear that he has no interest in a wish because he knows how badly they can backfire if not properly made. To prove his point, he then deconstructs the standard wish by DBZ villains for immortality by pointing out all the various loopholes that mean that an immortal could still be defeated. | |

Weaksauce Weakness: The Super Namekian Lord Slug is incredibly powerful, able to easily keep pace with Goku and Piccolo. But with his heightened Namekian senses, whistling causes him excruciating pain. That much is canon, and is how he lost in the original movie. Here, though, Kayos brings him into a circle of all the Z Fighters sans Piccolo, and with all of them whistling, he’s left in too much pain to move, let alone resist, as Goku kills him. | |

Shout-Out: The Repentant Miser tells a tale of how he, Barley, came to his old partner Rouge as a ghost, weighted with the endless chains of his sins and warned him to change his ways. When Baba tells Kayos he needs to work on his awareness, Kayos grouses that she had better not start screaming “constant vigilance�. Later, when Kayos shows a natural affinity for his new Shapeshifting ability, he says he did Shakespeare. Baba is initially confused saying she did as well, only to realize that Kayos meant he acted in the plays. This leaves Kayos to wonder how much of an inspiration Baba was for Macbeth's Weird Sisters. Near the start of Chapter 12, Baba comments that Mars looked especially bright the previous night. One incident where Isco took a creative revenge on Goku, painting his face in a way that makes Kayos think of the Matchmaker from Mulan. After Dr. Wheelo’s laboratory collapses and is reburied beneath the ice and snow, Kayos says, “And so falls the House of Usher.� Goku doesn’t get the reference. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Invoked by Kayos in Chapter 29, the first half of The Tree of Might, as he's still oversaturated with good magic from saving Earth from Dr. Wheelo and Lord Slug. So in order to properly supply his evil magic, he sneaks over to the Tree of Might while Turles is distracted, steals its only fruit, and rather than finding a way to return the power to the planet it had drained, he eats it himself. This does indeed give him a massive surge of evil magic. | |

Point of Divergence | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_e7f67516 | comment |
Point of Divergence: Abundant. Kayos intervenes in the fight between Raditz, Goku, and Piccolo; when Raditz wins, Kayos smooth talks the Saiyan into giving Goku a year to train before returning for a rematch. Raditz agrees, so he and Goku both survive. However, he sends a lethal ki blast towards Krillin before he goes, and Yamcha dies pushing him out of the way. All of this leads to Yamcha training with King Kai in Goku’s place while the rest of the Z Fighters convene and start a year of straight training to prepare for Raditz’s return. The rematch with Raditz ends with a strong, if not overwhelming, victory on the part of the Z Fighters, and Raditz is persuaded into joining their ranks. However, Vegeta and Nappa arrive at the battlefield almost immediately after. As they’re fighting a losing battle against Vegeta and Nappa, with Master Roshi already dead, Kayos summons Shenron and makes a wish to empower the Saiyans in Goku’s family with perfect control over their tails and Oozaru forms. This buys them the time that they need to destroy Vegeta’s artificial moon, and Vegeta still retreats after killing Nappa himself. Due to Lord Slug’s information, Kami learns that he and Piccolo were never properly separated, and he accepts that Piccolo was never his evil self; merely what an imperfect Namek saw as an impediment to him becoming Guardian of Earth. This leads to Kami recombining with Piccolo several years early. | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap | |
| Chaos Theory Z (Fanfic) / int_efacc623 | comment |
Drama-Preserving Handicap: A millennial event called the Dragon Moon, which lasts about half a year, causes the Earth Dragon Balls to recharge in only a single day. But once the Dragon Moon ends, they’ll need as many years to recharge as the number of wishes made. The Dragon Moon concludes around the same time as the Saiyan Saga, and over that time, they were used four times (twice by the good guys, twice by villains). This coupled with the fact that Kami and Piccolo fused together several years early means that the Earth’s Dragon Balls will be unusable for the foreseeable future. | |
