It reminds me of Gatomon's tail ring. Maybe it's something like that.

Looks like a Potara on a tail-band of some sort.

Hmm, I would have liked to see:
- Goku become god of Earth
- Goku making fun of Vegeta's mustage :lol:
- Gohan as the main protagonist at the end of Z
- Goten and Trunks as the main protagonists in GT, with Pan and Uub as important characters, too OR...
- Uub and Pan being the main protagonists in their own series
- Bra actually fight
- More of Marron in GT
- More of Lunch throughout Z
- Super Saiyajin 4 in a different color
- GT Trunks act more like he's Present Z Trunks, rather than... um :?

That's all I can think of for now.

Off the top of my head, I'd want the series to end with Cell and the Buu stuff would be the "GT". Cell seemed like the ultimate villian and I liked the ending more than the Buu one.

The series could've ended with Cell and the new GT would be Gohan's story (DragonBall being Goku's story, Z being the passing of the torch, and GT being Gohan's). From there, Gohan would be the one to beat Buu and all of the fanboys could simply not take things like mystic powerups, SSj3, or more characters surpassing Goku as canon.

*If you asked me this question a year ago, I'd have so much more to say but I guess I'm satisfied with how the story went.

I would have loved to see more emotional scenes between Vegeta and Bulma, or Goku and Chi-Chi, just to add a much more human touch to it I guess. I also would have really loved to see Tien, and Yamcha to have a bigger role in the Z era, *sighs. Furthermore, Vegeta should have had his 'heroic' moment, as in saving everyone's ass, afterall, Goku, and Gohan had their moment, it always felt right in my mind that Vegeta received that attention. Atleast we had his self sacrifice, that suffices I guess =P.

I would have liked to see the ideas in GT executed better. It had many good concepts, but Toei couldn't make a good story from them.

A Vegeta Vs Piccolo fight, ideally after Trunks' first arrival, when Goku had to step in between them.

What exactly happened in Yardrat. How did Son Goku go about learning Instantaneous Movement. Personally I think that would've made much better filler, if they had some good ideas, instead of the Garlic Jr. arc. At least that's how I would've done it.

I remember that Nail flew out to help the earthlings fight the Ginyu Toksentai, but he then realized he had to return. With a powerlevel of 42,000 and regeneration a smart namek like him could have kicked some serious butt. I would have loved to see that.

And also the fact that Nail was stronger than Dudoria, Zarbon, Vegeta and all of Freeza's henchmen. When Vegeta approaches Guru, Nail is ready to kick Vegeta's ass, but this too unfortunately never happens.

While Buu and Goku are fighting we see filler of Hell and everybody watching the fight on a big Crystal ball.
I would of loved to see the villains talking about how impressive the fight is while Bardock is on a cliff by himself with his arms crossed and eyes closed, thinking to himself somthing along the lines of "I'm proud of you......my son." Somthing like that. I'm not a writer.

While the series obviously wasn't mapped out from the start, I would've liked to have seen more foreshadowing of Goku and his future Saiyan/hero legacy in original DragonBall. It seems very rare when we actually get noticeable instances, such as some curious dialogue between Bulma and Yamcha after the first Oozaru transformation, or the look into Goku's Saiyan spirit after he drinks the Ultra Holy Water and defeats Daimao. One moment I kept in mind from original DB all the way to the end of GT was how Baba said "He certainly is amazing and the entire world will know his name one day...Just a feeling, I sense he will be a great hero of his time." That seems to strongly foreshadow Goku's future victories over all the threatening forces in DBZ and even later in GT, as we see a statue of him at the Tenkaichi Budokai arena and everyone cheering his memory on as Goku Jr. is announced to be his descendant.

I'm not that great of an artist either. If sombody could draw a better version, that be cool. I colored Goku's hair and Buu for no special reason.

I wouldn't mind an "H.F.I.L" Filler season just focusing on the various past villains and how they live there new life down in Hell. Boy talk about Funimation having to dish out loads of money to paint over the word Hell for about 15 episodes.

I would've loved to have seen Goku meet his father, Bardock, just once; something like how he met his Grandpa Gohan again in Dragon Ball. It would've been a touching moment. :wink:

In a weird way, he sort of does. Episode 92 (77 going by the dub's edit-version count), Bardock has a very small cameo when Vegeta contacts Goku from the afterlife as he's struggling against Freeza. I actually made a parody of that scene, "Goku's Wacky Mind Trip". Outside the TV special, it's Bardock's only appearance in the series.

But that's a filler-scene, so it doesn't really count.

-_-;;

So what if it was a filler scene? I didn't know we were discussing the manga specifically, where anything extra from the anime isn't valid (apparently in your opinion). Last I checked, we weren't! All you really had to say was "However, we gotta keep in mind that didn't happen in the manga" instead of "that doesn't count". In the anime itself, regardless of what you say, it does count. So unless we're discussing a single incarnation of the series where other elements can't be counted (like saying Freeza killing Kargo can't be counted in the anime, or the issue of Trunks' ascension to Super Saiyan already being present before Gohan's death), there's no reason to go and spout off what does and doesn't count (unless it's the movies, in which case there's a couple exceptions anyhow).

Just once, I would have liked to see Goku disagree with Chichi or tell her to lay off. I don't dislike her or anything, it just would've been a funny scene.

Yeah me too. I thought his fight with Freeza was pretty cool though. Namek warriors are always so badass, even when they're totally outclassed.
