Kanzenshuu

Toriyama probably didn't plan on keeping Vegeta around as long as he did. Villains often have more extreme or exaggerated character designs than the protagonists. He was made much shorter than Nappa, possibly to surprise the audience during the Saiyan story arc when he finally showed just how much ...

Dammit, you would quote me just before I could edit my post. Goku's ancestry has no bearing on the conversation. XD

Yeah, I know. I read somewhere that Toriyama had simply forgotten about the whole tails thing and threw the recessive comment out there without looking into it too thoroughly.

Like I ...

Sometimes a gene can be dormant in one person, but come out in a sibling.

Yes, but...

The odds are one in a million, say doctors, but it can happen with fraternal twins due the genetic soup in our backgrounds. Peter Propping, former director of the Institute for Human Genetics at Bonn ...

If tails were recessive, Gohan wouldn't've had one.

For example, I have blue eyes. My mother can pass as a Native American but the fact that I have blue eyes means that she's got some crackers in her soup, if you catch my drift.

Why hadn't the entire human population been decimated by the time we see teen Trunks? Logically, the Androids may have been taking long road trips as evidence proves in the anime. Other than simply devastating an entire area of civilization right off the bat, perhaps 17 and 18 occasionally enjoyed ...

Seems to me that Future Trunks is in for a pretty nasty surprise in his timeline when Babidi comes knocking.

I'm going to have to say that Goku saying that Instant Transmission allows him to travel as light at 186,000 mph takes the cake. By definition, it couldn't be "Instant" Transmission. Considering that it takes 8 minutes for the light of the sun to reach the earth alone, I'd hate to imagine how long ...

Kunzait_83, do you have a newsletter? I'm always amazed by your posts. :lol:

Although Mirai Gohan is a lot more badass than the adult Gohan in the "normal" timeline, I feel that the adult Gohan of the present is who the Mirai Gohan would've been if he had been given the same opportunity to live ...

Bardock's team was killed on the planet they were assigned to take over.

I said LIKE Bardock's team. =P

Unless you're suggesting that Freeza's cronies were sent out to exterminate every last team out on missions? I doubt he'd have enough men strong enough to effectively kill them all. A lot of ...

That's what it says on the certificate. My money's on Gyumao rolling over one night and waking up a widower that morning.

I'm of two minds about the subject.

If you're asking if it's possible in the canon universe, I'd say no. As someone else pointed out, you can't play Saiyans in DBO, and Toriyama has been supervising the game's development. I think, as an artist and writer, he liked the idea that Goku and Vegeta ...

Done like dinner? Um...... whaaa?? Is there a single one of you out there that has ever heard this expression before? Is it code? Is it some Texas thing?

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Sounds like it's in the same vein as "Your goose is cooked!"

Very interesting! Thanks for making (and answering to!) this thread. =D

I noticed the really disparate styles but it never occurred to me that they were done by completely different studios. For example the poor "Triangle Crap Type" animation really stood out in Trunks's first appearance since it ...

The chef on the original package looks a bit like Nappa if you squint. =D

I don't think it's ever stated how large Freeza's empire was. It may have only been in our galaxy, although they often did call him the strongest in the universe, so we don't know really.

The appellation of "strongest" should be taken with a huge grain of salt. Freeza was the Big Bad in his story ...

My opinion comes from every time I have seen an "Energy Wave" used in a live action medium, it's always the pencil thin beam. And in my opinion, that looks weak, and terrible. I know that in Dragonball it was mostly the "Thin Beam", which looks fine in a 2d environment, but I hope you get what I am ...

... wait, what?

Was this supposed to be funny?

I get confused too with this subject. Is it wrong to watch episodes on youtube that have been uploaded by a person who bought original copies and if your not downloading them and just watching them to enjoy them?

Technically, it is wrong.

Personally, I don't sweat it too much, especially if I ...

Well... :oops:

I only buy stuff if I really like it, and there's no way to know that I'll like something unless I've watched or read it before. I don't feel bad about viewing anime or manga online at all, especially if they're obscure series or one-shots that I never would have heard about ...

I hope [Taburu] isn't Vegeta's brother.

He looks like the love child of Mystic Gohan and Vegeta.
