The fate of the frog

[Piccolo Daimao]

Does anyone feel sorry for that frog who was trapped in Ginyu's body? It would be practically stuck in a wounded body for the rest of its life. If it didn't subsequently die from its injury or Namek's crumbling stability after Freeza destroyed its core, it presumably would've been transported off Namek to Earth, but then it may not have survived in a somewhat different environment. If he did, then maybe he was taken in by Dr. Brief, healed and kept as a pet. Either way, we didn't see it hopping around, which could've been because it wasn't important enough to warrant an appearance or Toriyama simply forgot. So perhaps it's more than likely that he just died on Namek.

I don't remember seeing him in Earth where everyone were transported, so it's very likely that he fell from a cliff to the lava, or during an explosion on the exploding Namek.

I don't feel sorry for anime frogs in the same way I don't feel sorry for this anime grape-hippo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_9ZrsV7AFY

Real frogs on the other hand...

[Fox666]

Each time a Ki blast is fired in the series plenty of animals dies. The frog did not had the worst fate...

Do we know that, though? They may've just dissipated, and obviously, we do see moments where characters fire the Kamehameha and then it just thins out afterwards, or when they target the opponent or divert its path away into space (e.g. Vegeta's Final Flash).

[Fox666]

But we see many times Ki attacks being deflected to lands or the sea. No.17 even mocked Piccolo for destroying that island.

Piccolo does not care for wildlife

[Eire]

In series he was seen in Brief's sunlit garden so he was transported. I've always assumed that he died after Boo destroyed Earth and wasn't resurrected, because unlike his former colleague he didn't managed to impregnate Bulma.

FNF how many frogs did you help by picking them and carry across the roads?

Wasn't that Ginyu in the frog's body, though? I'm talking about the frog in Ginyu's body. Admittedly, I haven't seen that part in the anime, but I've only ever heard people talk about Ginyu in the frog's body making a filler appearance.

[Eire]

Yes, it was the Ginyu canned in frog, my bad. The frog probably shared the fate of the fishes and pretty female that had crush on Ginyu

[Hitiro]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the wish to "Transport everyone except Goku and Frieza from Namek to Earth." Last time I checked animals have a consciousness and are technically people themselves. The word everyone does not apply to only Humans and Nameks but anything within the context it was used an as such there was no clear definition of what everyone was referring to. If the wish clearly defined what it meant by everyone such as "Transport everyone who can speak English" or "Transport everyone who can walk on two legs" then the animals of the planet wouldn't be included.

[Eire]

Animals would be refereed rather as a "everything". We don't see the Earth over-flooded by alien animals.

[dario03]

I'm pretty sure there was filler in regular Z that showed the frog hopping around the forest shortly after they wished everyone to Earth.

We don't see the animals but that doesn't mean they weren't transported. We don't see all the Namekians in the panels of them on earth. That doesn't mean that those Namekians weren't transported to earth. If you look up the definition for "everyone" it refers to creatures too, you don't say "everything of these animals smells" you say "everyone of these animals smells". If you use "everything" where is the clear context of that word? "Everything" could mean the plants, the houses, the tools, the toilets. We know that Porunga will give you a wish but if you don't clearly define stuff then you won't get what you want. An example is Piccolo who was wished to Namek but because they didn't define the actual location they wanted him then he was just randomly teleported to a position on the planet away from Gohan and Krillin.

[Piccolo Daimao]

When Goku was gathering his Genki-Dama, he and/or Goku said that there wasn't much life left on the planet, which is why he had to borrow energy from other planets. And a bunch of animals, such as the frog, could've died from Namek's crumbling instability after Freeza destroyed its core. The wish was to revive everyone killed by Freeza and his men, and presumably, on Namek, Freeza only killed Vegeta, Kuririn and the Namekians, as I doubt he bothered to wipe out every life form on the planet (he only killed them because they wouldn't give him the DBs, and after Kiwi told Vegeta that Freeza had gone to Namek, he said that he was planning on wiping out the planet after he got his wish).

So I have no doubt that animals would be counted in the wish to transport everyone but Goku and Freeza to Earth. Just that there probably weren't many left, if any.

[Eire]

Linguistic aside, because animals can be refereed in many ways in different languages and we both don't know extract Japanese phrase. Namekians were told to be small tribe, while their planet was huge. That's never suggested that any animal besides Ginyu frog was transported, nobody mentioned alien animals suddenly appearing on Earth.

Yes, because, like I said, there was little to no life left on Namek, and later, when Namek started breaking up, there was lightning, lava, falling rocks and a big fucking void in the centre that could've killed remaining animals.

I don't live in an area where there are many frogs. I get the occasional one in my back garden but meh.

In short, none.

[Wobbuffet]

I felt sorry for the crab that Freeza ate when I watched that scene for the first time.

[Gonstead]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen that as well.

I'll have to dig out my DVD's and check that episode.
