“A one-person pod!?” The story of how Broly became the voice of my inner conscience

Cutting corners, making excuses—
Even if you don't have any malicious intent, you sometimes find yourself doing these things on a whim.

With a feeling of, "Well, it's fine."
But at those times, a deep, gruff voice whispers from the depths of my mind.

“A one-person pod!?”

Let me explain. (There is a reference video below, just in case.)
This is a famous line from a Dragon Ball movie, where Broly delivers it to shatter his father Paragus's excuses.

As the planet is collapsing, Broly catches Paragus trying to sneak away in a one-personescape pod.
“What are you doing?”
“I, I am just getting a pod for us to evacuate together!”

To this pathetic excuse, he delivers the aforementioned retort and crushes his father along with the pod before tossing it away.

It means that both your excuses and your attempts to cut corners have been seen through.
And that is how Paragus meets his end.

For those who can't imagine Broly's voice,
it's easy to understand if you imagine Demon Kakka with an even raspier voice, quietly closing in on you while saying this line.

There is something similar in the visual intensity, too. Probably.
With that image in mind, I want you to hear the rest of this story.



However, in my case, for some reason, Broly has had a change of heart and whispers in my brain as my conscience.
A reformed Broly—a mysterious casting choice.

By the way, this applies to both big things and trivial matters.
For example, when I'm at work and tell someone, "I'll handle that later," but I'm actually watching "How to brew coffee" on YouTube.
I suddenly hear it from behind me.

“What are you doing?”

Ah... no, wait, it's just a break! I was planning on doing it right now!

“A one-person pod!?”

I have no comeback. I feel completely cornered.

But what's truly scary is that it lurks in everyday life.

Like when there's one last Azuki Bar in the freezer and you take it out without telling your family.
Even though you just wanted to eat it, thinking a little bit wouldn't hurt, you hear it from out of nowhere.


“What are you doing?”

“No! No! I was going to leave half!”

“A one-person ice cream!?”

By the way, if it were a Papico, you could share it, so you'd be forgiven. Because you can share it.

I'm starting to think that "A one-person pod!?"could be used as a proverb.It's a phrase used for a "whisper" that means, "

I know you're trying to cut corners." This isn't just some gentle tool for self-reflection anymore.The moment you notice someone's hidden agenda or deception, you quietly whisper this from behind them.
“A one-person pod...?”
The person being told will feel their heart tremble a little.

I understand how Paragus felt.

By the way, starting quietly with
“What are you doing?”

is also recommended.
The moment that first chill touches their back, they know there's no escape. All that's left is to wait for the water level to rise past their shoulders and fill their neck.
It's a phrase that can plunge someone who is feeling optimistic into the depths of terror in an instant.

I hope you will whisper this in various circles and groups to defeat evil.

If you do that, before you even cut corners, you'll be the one cut from the circle.

You'll realize halfway through.



“Am I the first one to be cut from this circle?”
…A one-person pod!?
