Kanzenshuu

Not broadcast related but one thing that could be noted about DBZ European history is that DBZ Legends on the Sega Saturn got a release in France, Spain and Portugal. No idea how much impact it had in France, but it was bundled with the console in Portugal and even had televised tournaments.

It's crazy that UK got a DB show for the first time in 2000, yet neighbouring France goes as far back as 1988!

On my birthday none the less too!

I recall one scene in the anime where one of the Kaioshin explicitly states that Goku ultimately did a good thing, because Zeno was gonna erase some universes anyway. Thanks to Goku's stubborness, those universes were given a chance to save themselves. The universes most at risk were 9, 6, even ...

It’s easy to blame Goku if fans all just went deaf at the part where they explicitly mention that Zeno was going to erase the universes with low moral ranking and Goku’s tournament suggestion gave them a fighting chance. I’m convince it’s fans latching on to that dumb DBZA bit from their Eradicate ...

The farmer that Raditz killed.

Cha La Head Cha La is a song I loved at first but it just went on for too long. I wish the Android and Cell episodes had their own opening songs.

I know this is extremely petty, but I always hated that word because of the negative connotations to it. Then again, maybe I'm biased, as I enjoy most of the original Toei content.

I'm going to say what may end up being the most unpopular opinion in these 780 pages: Toriyama's return to the franchise, from a creative point of view, was far more harmful than beneficial. I'll go a step further and say that GT greatly benefited from him stepping aside and leaving it to Toei ...

I also just realised that Ox-King, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Puar and Oolong all debut in the first arc but don't due until the last arc when Super Buu eats them all.

I guess I am the only one who doesn't mind Goku Jr didn't know Vegeta Jr. Personally, I'm not friends with the grandchildren of the people my grandparents are friends with, so makes sense to me.

Fair enough. Can't think of any other examples so your point stands.

DB: Oolong, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, and Chaozu
DBZ: Piccolo, Vegeta, #16, #17, #18, and Fat Buu
Super: Ganma 1 & 2
Daima: Glorio

Maybe could make a case for the Red Fire Shadow Dragon?

Oh yeah, forgot Goku faced Vegeta in Daima.

This video made me realise that Daima is the only Dragon Ball TV show without a tournament. DB has the 3 Budokais and the Baba tournament. Z has 25th Budokai (got interupted but finished with the battle royale), the afterlife tournament and the Cell Games if you count that. GT had an episode in the ...

I guess there's just the technicality on wherever Fat Buu, Super Buu and Kid Buu are different characters or not.

I wonder which Z-Fighter has faced Goku the most?

Yamcha: Twice in the Pilaf arc, then a 3rd if you count the Oozaru battle. Fights Goku in DB Movie 1 and 4, but those were recreation of the Pilaf arc fights.

Piccolo: Only once, but you can add two more if you count the two King Piccolo battles ...

Agree on Base Goku winning.

What if Piccolo fused with Kami before the Android battle?

Kamiccolo, SS Vegeta, SS Trunks, Tien Vs. 17 and 18.

17 mentions 18 can't handle everyone, so strength in numbers may work here. 16 sits out the battle due to Goku not being present.

Kind of just felt like they wanted an excuse to repeat Fusion Reborn and just ignored logic.

That Goku Vs. Freeza & Cell fight was fire though.

Random thought:

Cell kills Trunks twice, once when he steals the time ship, and when he returned to the Cell Games. Trunks killed Cell as an embryo and the Imperfect Cell in his timeline.

Zamasu / Goku Black kills Chi-Chi twice. He steals Goku's body, then kills Goku / Chi-Chi / Goten and goes ...

It was from Twel-Boo Mysteries :
