My 10 year old nephew came to visit last week, and had mentioned previously that he had Dragon Ball Fighterz at his dad's house after he had seen me play it, so we played a few matches. He doesn't have any of the DLC characters at his dad's house, so he picked Jiren to play someone new. While he was choosing a colour palette, I suggested he choose the blue one, because it makes him look a bit like El Hermano. My nephew then asked who El Hermano was, and I told him that El Hermano is Jiren's evil older brother. Of course, I neglected to mention that he's not an official character, and instead said El Hermano isn't in the game because he's so powerful that if he was in the game, he would be overpowered and would win every time. My nephew then said "I would put him in the game, but make him really hard to unlock, like you have to win 50,000 matches or something."

Today, my nephew came to visit again, and said that he had watched a video of El Hermano after I had told him about the character, and he agreed that El Hermano was too powerful to be in Dragon Ball Fighterz. He then noticed a plushie of Ranch from Dragon Ball R and R I had on display, and asked me about her, so I explained who she was and her backstory. Again, I didn't mention that Ranch and Dragon Ball R and R are fanmade.

He doesn't have much exposure to Dragon Ball (Just Dragon Ball Fighterz and one or two episodes each of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super), so I'm getting tempted now to see just how far I can stretch this before I have to come clean to him with the truth. Would telling him about the likes of Gohan Blanco, Naphan Verde and Grande Padre be too far-fetched?

kids are fun at around that age, they still listen to you

u ever read calvin and hobbes? it is very easy to lie to them. just make sure to reveal it to them eventually and turn it into a funny thing rather than having their friends at school tell them they're full of shit

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I did consider that, but since he knows Scooby Doo I thought that would be too implausible.

I think the biggest question is how/why you have a plushie from literal fanfiction.

Why stop at El Hermano when you can introduce him to Xicor next?
