Why are you taking such offense to what I said? I want him to have his own episode.
I didn't take any offense, I just wrote my opinion about the matter.
"You not liking him doesn't mean he can't have one centric episode as he did, because the show is not exclusively done for you."

This is you being hostile for no reason. I never claimed he shouldn't have his own episode nor did I ever claim the show is exclusively done for me.

I'm not being hostile. Look, Tenshinhan is one of the strongest beings in the whole universe, that's why he was chosen, by Toriyama, he writes the plot. I agree he was written like trash in his own episode and in the next. But he just eliminated one guy and he is still fighting.

He'll have his own episode like 17, 18, Gohan, Piccolo, Roshi and Krillin.

Tenshinhan is a real oddity in this arc. He is the only one so far that has no hype, build up of any kind, or any real moments where he got to show off. I'm just really curious what they're going to do with him, and if he is going to have that awesome moment or will just be knocked out before he has his own spotlight for a little bit.

You would think that a character like Tenshinhan would get a chance to shine earlier in the tournament while there were a lot more of the weaker fighters still on the stage. But as more and more fighters get knocked out he is going to be stuck with the stronger guys. So he is either going to do something really huge we weren't expecting from him or fizzle out before he really have a chance to get going.

Tenshinhan is likely just there to fill out the 10 man quota. Aside from him they could have just had Buu or even Yamcha join.

At least Yamcha would add some comedy to the arc.

Yamcha is not a man. Vegeta is to be blamed for his death and then Vegeta takes his woman shortly after......somebody give Vegeta an oscar.

Is Vegeta to be blamed for Piccolo, Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu's death too then? Vegeta didn't kill anyone.

He came to Earth like a real man coming to get the Dragonballs and kill everyone too......he's the one who brought the Saibamen, and they were following his orders.......so yes he's responsible for those pawns dying....not like those scrubs could do anything about it after...

Ten has been a pretty boring character to me since after the 23rd. The only thing he had going for some time was that he was fun to watch fight for me, but he rarely ever fights anyway so there's that. I want him looking good this saga, it I have the least investment in him of the entire U7 team.

Its not like Vegeta is a man either,if you consider Vegeta a man then you have a very low standard for what a man is,even Bulma is more of a man than Vegeta is.

While I agree, at the same time whenever Tenshinhan tried to do something, like against Nappa, Cell or Buu...I generally liked it. So it's weird to me, I have not much investment in Tenshinhan as a character, but I do like the few cool moments he gets.

if ur trying to get under my skin you're doing a poor job. Freeza got killed twice already when Vegeta's son sliced him into pieces....if vegeta couldn't do it then the next best thing is his own son....so the prince gets the last laugh.

We're on a forum dedicated to a children's cartoon. If anyone of us had anything "better" to do, we wouldn't be here.

Why would i try to get under your skin?I am just telling you the truth,truth which for some reason you try to deny.It must be because you are under the wrong impression that living your life through Vegeta's life will fulfill your own underdog wish fulfilment but neither dragonball nor real life works that way.You failled and so will Vegeta.
You must have been pretty sheltered from society if you are used to deny the truth so much.I am being a nice guy and try to open your eyes to the truth you deny so much.
Also Freeza killed Vegeta twice,Future Trunks killing Freeza is Trunk's own feat.
Vegeta's feat is getting killed by the same person twice and he cried like a baby before dying.


Now as for the topic,Tien got used as a stepping stone for other characters in his recruitment episodes,he will propably get a moment or two before he get eliminated.

Superb technique changing the narrative when you're losing an argument, :clap: I have been guilty of doing that once in a blue moon. We all like this show, so don't downgrade people on here including yourself saying if they had better things to do then they would not be here.

You are neutral or indifferent about the three eyed freak, which is fine. Leave it at that, don't paint a picture of people who post here as individuals who don't have anything better to do..... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Seems like you're the sensitive kind of fellow. Apologies, I wasn't trying to offend you, I was merely making a point that, yes, we all "like this show," so all of us have every right to make the kinds of threads we want to make, and that includes making threads or posts about characters we're not that fond of.

Yes I'm very offended because this is 2017 and I'm trying to act & expose how the typical politically correct social justice warriors acts which is all apart of my bigger agenda here.....and you already broke the number 1 rule for them which is not assuming gender.....they would have thrown a fit of rage.

Be careful.

All he's done until now is say "Sasuga Muten Roushi-sama" every episode. I really hope he does anything other than eliminating that guy in episode 101.
