Watch out boys, it's the second coming of Miyazaki Tsutomu!

In all honesty, who the hell knows if this was actually something he watched or just a random file he had for whatever reason?

I always thought big part of this fanbase is the worst ever, but that just takes it to a whole new level. :lol:
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I would think Islamic fundamentalists would condemn foreign media as ungodly or some such thing...

Watch the media go on about how DB is the reason he became a terrorist.

He was searching for the remaining Dragon Balls that the White House has been hiding!

I'm not surprise seeing how even mass murders, serial killers, rapists and child molesters have hobbies outside of being horrible people. People like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Kim Il Sung were big movie buff‘s. People in Al Qaeda also loved Godzilla 1998 too.

Well they do for the populace they are controlling. That doesn't mean they won't enjoy it in secret.


Of course these people always turn out to be hypocrites. It was never about religion it was always about control.

Remember where and who Bin Laden was in the context of his society. He wasn't some outcast who lived in caves all the time. In his eyes and those of the many who followed his ideals, he was a freedom fighter. That's not to praise him, he's a worse person than any word can describe, but much of his time was spent around even families and little kids. It's not unreasonable to find that he'd have stuff to keep them occupied with on his computer.

You do know there were a bunch of children in that compound, right? These were probably for them.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Guys as funny as this sounds, it was most likely for his kids, not himself. I doubt Osama even knew what an emulator was.

There were also teenagers in the compound, probably using his computer.
