Why didn't Roshi train to prepare for the Saiyans?

Re: Why didn't Roshi train to prepare for the Saiyans?
That's just conjecture. Muten Roshi didn't fail to defeat Daimao due to plot. He was old, not as strong as Piccolo and the Mafuba is dangerous. It was all organic.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

That's true as well. Really Roshi, Krillin, and Tien weren't needed.Green_Goblin wrote:Gohan, Trunks and Goten are all half humans for the sake of the discussion.dragon boss z wrote:Goten and Trunks would have made more sense as well allowing them to fuse to Gotenks.

Re: Why didn't Roshi train to prepare for the Saiyans?
I kinda enjoyed seeing Krillin and Tien being selected to represent Universe 7 (NOT the Tien recruitment episode with Roshi being stronger than him.. TF?) as it was a nice homage for their character's cycle that began in the original Dragon Ball. Seriously, Roshi was needed to be replaced by EITHER Buu or Yamcha.dragon boss z wrote:That's true as well.

Re: Why didn't Roshi train to prepare for the Saiyans?
In the Saiyan Saga, Roshi believed he had reached his limit.
In the intervening years, he saw the others (particularly Goku) surpass their own limits time and again. So he realized he was wrong, and resumed training.
This is explicitly stated during the ToP. It's not a retcon, a plothole, or inconsistent with earlier events.
