You'd think that.

And then you picture #20 performing Britney Spears' song Circus.

A list of all of Goku's masters:

Kame-sennin
Karin-sama
Kami-sama
Kaio-sama

I guess the "-s" part might be a bit of a stretch, but damned if they don't all start with the same two letters.

The world cheering "Satan" while gospel-like music plays in the background is unnerving. Just a little...

Perhaps this is just me paying too much attention, but when Trunks shatters Piccolo's statue, it breaks and he has to regenerate the lost body parts. The thing is, Namekian regeneration only affects their flesh as far as I can tell. So wouldn't that mean he'd probably be partially naked off-camera immediately after regenerating? :shock:

Good thing he has that clothes beam...

In addition to that, Trunks would have saw his half naked pieces once Dabra was eaten and he went to look at what he had done to the Namekian.

Nah, the parts left behind would still have their clothing on.

In the Buu Arc:
That everyone with the exception of Videl thought Gohan was dead, even though they previously wished back everyone who had died that day. Since Gohan hasn't been dead prior to the wish they should've figured he'd been brought back.

That's a good find. Funny enough, Goku specifically points out that they were planning to bring back the people who died at the tournament but the way Yamcha worded it makes it seem like everybody around the world, aside form the bad guys, should be brought back. People who died unrelated deaths that day were in luck :lol:

Yes and Kibito wasn't among the victims at the tournament and was still brought back, so it's obvious not only the people at the tournament were brought back.

And we can assume that Vegeta wasn't brought back because of what he did, though he did give his life to protect the earth.... Shenlong counts Vegeta as a bad guy but Porunga doesn't.

But Vegeta was brought back once by Shenlong, where Vegeta was killed by Freezer on Namek.

Ah, it's probably gotten to the stage where they can't keep track of who has died and who hasn't. :wink:

Yeah, I think I brought that up in a thread a long time ago. I always found that really weird. I think people replied with the theory that they just forgot that they'd wished everyone back to life, since Goku had told them about Gohan and Vegeta dying after the wish. But I don't agree with it.

But that wish didn't specify bring back everyone except evil people, it was wished "everyone killed by Freeza and his men"
"Perfect" is the enemy of the good. True for Cell and true for real life.

Aside from the somewhat questionable logic in #17 coming back to life by the "bring all those killed by Cell back to life," has anyone ever considered what would happen to the inhabitants of those islands that Cell blew up in his search for #18? They'd come back to life at the bottom of the ocean (as their corpses have surely sunk after all this time) and quickly drown again or be killed through either water pressure or decompression as they scrambled to get to the surface. And on the off chance any of them made it to the surface, chances seem slim they'd find any available land nearby, and they'd drown too. Good going, guys. :P
