Is there a particular explanation for why the Galactic Patrol couldn't use the extinction bombs to kill off members of Freeza's empire? I know Freeza is a mutant freak who'd probably survive it anyway but what about the other species underneath him?
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I don't think there is an explanation, but would it have significantly mattered?

Maybe getting rid of the Ginyus, Zarbon and Dodoria, but the rest of Freeza's mooks seem to be so trash he could pick some of them of street, slap a blaster on their wrist and call it a day.

I was thinking that too. I checked out Movie 7, 8 and 9 but I cant seem to find it. Will have to keep looking through them.

Kind of would have, if it can kill anyone, the Patrol could just toss them on any planet and let Freeza and his mooks all die off. It's not like you need a significant presence to do such a thing either, all you need is one operative and a capsule and boom! you've successfully murdered a whole crap load of dudes with no effort.

Thank you!! Saved me some time there, I've bought the cel and just wanted to time-stamp it so I know exactly where it is from.

Assuming Freeza regularly visits one of his bajillion planets and the Galactic Patrol is competent enough to track him, yeah, I can see it working then. Would've dealt with them, but that would require authorities in DB being actually competent.

That is one of the rules of DB, if you're a God or part of the proper authorities, you are worthless shit tier. Except Zamasu.

If Black & Zamasu managed to kill Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks off in the future, would Beerus and Whis have decided to get involved personally or would they have simply not gotten involved at all? Or would they at least train Gohan, Goten and Kid Trunks as a viable B squad?

Well probably won't do anything as the pair (Z and Black) don't have any reason to come back to our timeline. I think they'll (Whis and B) eventually assume they kicked the bucket then Beerus will take a nap for 39 years! And life pre-Goku will be back to normal!

I would assume Black and Zamasu would eventually attack other timelines to make the Zero Mortals Plan complete. That might be cause enough for them to go after Black & Zamasu in the future.

The bombs can't handle young Saiyans. I imagine they're less effective against Freeza's significant forces (which is comprised of enslaved warriors & mercenaries). Killing off the Zako of the universe would serve ultimately pointless if measures against the Kewi-types don't exist. Nothing is accomplished by extincting "harmless" members of those races when the men Freeza scouted aren't feeling the aftermath.

I think they were pretty satisfied in living in one timeline that has no opposing Gods or mortals, I don't believe they would risk themselves in attacking other timelines as they said in the anime the Zero Mortals Plan would be complete by the time the last mortals on Earth were killed.

I wouldn't imagine him to have a lower multiplier, and I'm sure that nothing implies that he does have a lower multiplier in the series.

I don't think that's true, in the manga at least I'm sure they want every universe and timeline...
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

What are the episodes of the Funimation dub of the original Dragon Ball where Piccolo states that he "fought all over the universe" and Kami said he knew he was an alien? I know those (along with the Crane Hermit being called Shen and the actual "Shen" being called Hero) are among the worst dub errors the Funimation dub of the original Dragon Ball received, but I don't know the exact episode numbers.

I recall hearing that most of the Double/Triple Feature Blu-rays are pretty shoddy in video quality, notably in their saturation and contrast, but that some are actually quite decent. Does anyone know anything about that?
