When Kami was brought back to life we all see Mr Popo on the lookout when Kami arrives, so I believe it's safe to assume that he immediately started searching for the Dragon balls. That means that Mr Popo was able to collect all the Dragon balls between the beginning of the Freeza fight and finds them all during the 5 minutes prior to Namek's explosion.
If my memory doesn't lie, Vegeta says it should take an hour for Goku to recover, which means that Popo would have been able to gather the Dragon balls within an hour and a half. What do you guys think of this? Do you think this was an oversight or is Mr Popo's magic carpet really REALLY fast and accurate?

Re: How did Popo gather the Dragon Balls?
Popo's carpet takes him and Bluma from the Western Capital to Yunzabit Highlands, like a quarter of the planet, in practically the blink of an eye. I don't think the issue is whether he could get to them within that time frame or not, but how he actually found them? Does Kami know where each orb is and was directing him with telepathy and god vision? Does Shenlong's model container act as a radar or something that blinks when you get close to one of the orbs? Did Kami use his materialization to hax a Dragon Radar for Popo? Is Popo just that magical?
I don't have a problem with the events, however they unfolded, but it probably could have used an extra speech bubble somewhere to clear it up a bit.

Re: How did Popo gather the Dragon Balls?
Maybe his carpet gets him anywhere or to anything he wants, even if he has no idea where that is. So, he gets on the carpet and thinks "One-Star Dragon Ball", and he is there.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Ooh that just begs the question why didn't he help Goku out in the Saiyan invasion? (insert TFS Joke here).DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Maybe his carpet gets him anywhere or to anything he wants, even if he has no idea where that is. So, he gets on the carpet and thinks "One-Star Dragon Ball", and he is there.

Because gods & attendants aren't supposed to be involved into the Living World's problems.

Re: How did Popo gather the Dragon Balls?
No. Popo wouldn't fight Daimao because he knew defeating/killing him would mean the end of Kami. Of course, Kami wouldn't kill his other half because that would mean killing himself.

He could always find a way to seal him, or at least get in his way and beat him up before he killed any human.sekzee wrote:No. Popo wouldn't fight Daimao because he knew defeating/killing him would mean the end of Kami.

Also, it was stated that he didn't beat Daimao because it's not his place to do it.

And yet, Popo got on his magic carpet and got the 7 balls. He shouldn't have done that, based on what you're sayingDBZGTKOSDH wrote:Because gods & attendants aren't supposed to be involved into the Living World's problems. Like why he & Kami didn't beat Piccolo Daimao.

Re: How did Popo gather the Dragon Balls?
There were many lies being thrown around during that time, so I wouldn't take it as fact. Pretty sure they admit to the truth once there is no way around it.
