It seems he currently does voice acting only for Cell. Maybe he decided to focus more in his live-action work.

Is the late onset ki disorder the reason Goku and Black refrain from using Kaio-Ken? I could get Goku having reservations about it but Black's Goku body is a year ahead in the timeline, surely that body should be acclimated to using KK with Blue (Roses). There's also the question of why Zamasu didn't use it post fusion.
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 assume Goku didn't manage to master it since there was no ToP to prepare for. Then again, he seems to use it just fine in the Zen Exhibition even though he was supposedly "rusty."

Does anyone know where you can find those short little comics that dive into Vegeta & Piccolo? They were official releases as far as I remember.

There's one on Trunks, too. But here you go.

I have to say the one on Vegeta is definitely the weakest link. It doesn't give us much that we didn't know before. Trunks' was probably the best when it comes to delving into the characters' psyche.

Agreed so far, I especially like how he couldn't help to ask about Vegeta for the longest time because he thought it wouldn't sound manly for him to do it.

I would add music to the list (e.g: Kikuchi vs Falconer vs Yamamoto vs Sumitomo)
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Hmm, good one. Next time I'll include it.

But that's not really controversial, I though it was consesus that the most useless character in the series was Chaozu :lol:

And even Chiatzu is controversial. He`s generally brave for someone mostly written as a sidekick and had in his hands (well, voice) the fate on the world in the balance once. For the little time he was used, he sure helped.

Yajirobe? He`s been useful too.

I vote Oolong, because his actions barely had any butterfly effect on the whole story if at all. Unless you mean Figthers only?

Didn't he actually save the world in the first arc. Poor guy, no one remembers that.

His and Puar shape shifting abilities used to be used a lot in the beginning.

Ah yes, he and Puar prevented Pilaf`s wish.

Welp, Ox King? All he did was have his house on fire.

At least Puar helped keep the Beerus/Monaka ruse up... and thus makes it pretty sad how even Puar has been more useful than Yamcha in modern DB...

Oolong also had the chance to save the world against Beerus... so that might count as something?

Thinking about it, it is quite sad how Toriyama tossed Yamcha away after the Saiyan arc and even made him into the bad guy in the relationship with Bulma later on.

He birthed Chichi who then married Goku who then subsequently birthed two son's one of which is fairly popular so Ox-King isn't completely useless.
