he was number one under the sun for so long, it makes sense to stay in Otherworld

Re: Explaining real-life references (in-universe)

Always considered the DB world to be ours had it been globalized by mostly anarcho-capitalists.

Re: Babidi was more of a villain than Buu

Buu's condition as an absolute, with no grays, makes the arc tedious. Would have been a good transition, though.

I think after perforating Piccolo Sr, Enma would have allowed him to keep his body.

At what point did Goku earn the privilege of...

...keeping his body in Otherworld?

I'd say after hamming up on Piccolo Daimao he was nailed on the cross from Enma Daio's POV.

Re: Mr. Satan: The best joke Toriyama ever played

He probably had a monopoly on reality shows at one point. A spin-off with Miss Piiza and then off to the races.

Re: Babidi was more of a villain than Buu

Gero was the Frankenstein

I don't think Cell would have roundhouse kicked him, but a yellow energy blast in his semi-perfect state could have probably book-ended a flashback episode.

Re: Rainy moments in the story (all media)

The rainy first DB ending initially gave me vicarious nostalgia, which later gave way a few years later to the authentic variety.

Toriyama uses rain the same way Se7en did, just the other way around.

Broly movies are good for drinking games.

Babidi was like an oriental sorcerer caricature of Hamlet.

Think the Buu saga lost quite a bit of substance when Babidi bit the dust.

Babidi was more of a villain than Buu

In the traditional Dragon Ball sense, I mean. He had concrete, rooted, malice and dislike towards East Kaioshin and his ilk. Also, he had actual conscious motivations and goals to achieve [revenge, sadism, ambition] - not programmed or predisposed behavior patterns like his monster. Buu becomes more...

Mr. Satan: The best joke Toriyama ever played

Every time one thought that Mr. Satan was on the brink of ostracization from the public, he bounced back. When Cell depletes him to nil, he quips about balance. When Videl discovered the truth, nothing happened. When Trunks knocked him out of the ring, he played it off as an intentional, even honora...

Re: Tenshinhan and Yamcha relationship

Have never played the games.

However, I would say that after dying in the Saiyan arc, any wounds would have been mended by then...as well as hints of rivalry between them. Maybe even by the 23rd tournament, actually.

They were bros for sure during the cell saga.

Gohan asked Videl to cut her hair?

He was not going ham at that time.

Re: Does anyone prefer the Boo saga over all others?

Aye, upsetting in a way. I think during his fight against Bootenks he should have experienced another pivotal actualization..in terms of overcoming the odds against him. Why not something like: Lemme fuck around for 30 minutes until the fusion wears off? Even something as simple as that..The same w...
