Where did Tenshinhan go? (Buu saga)

Post by king jro » Wed Jul 18, 2007 10:59 pm

In Ep. 252 of DBZ "Ready to Fuse"
Tien appears to deflect one of Buus blasts and then his lower half attacks him then he is not seen until i think when Goku is gathering the spirit Bomb, or maybe The Celebration afterwards, or maybe GT.
Ummm what happened to him cause Goku could of fuse with him or something.
it seems that they kind forgot about him!!!!!!wtf

Well, didn't he end up unconscious somehow? If not, then you're right, that was a potential fusion right there (Somebody draw it! Quick! We'll call him... Gohan! ...No, wait.). A better choice than Mr. Satan or Dende, that's for sure.

Either way, he died soon after when Kid Buu blew everything up.




Also, dude, you should learn how to type properly if you want to last on this forum. Just a friendly warning; the spelling/grammar standards here are pretty strict.

He was knocked out from Buu's kick to the head. BUT...wouldn't it make sense for Dende to heal Ten for the fusion of Gokushinhan?

i do not think he was unconscious, and even if Dende could heal him.
Also why was he not show in the OtherWorld with Krillin and Yamcha?
cause Tien is my favorite characters.
and yes i will watch my Grammar and stuff i would hte to get banned :(

Because they'd been dead for a little while (a couple hours at least), and had had time to make their way or get sent to the Grand Kaio's realm. Tenshinhan was probably still in line at the Check-In Station when everyone got wished back.

Alrighty, here we go! Tien was knocked out by Buu enough to most likely be on the brink of death, similar to how Gohan had been earlier during his battle with fat Buu. Dende was too far from Tien and too frozen in fear at Buu to be able to do anything, also remember this is the guy who's the only hold to the dragonballs; he doesn't wanna risk being killed for their sakes. Goku knows Tien will be useless to merge with because of the state he's in, which he mentions at the end of the episode in which Gohan's absorbed. However, after Goku detects Vegeta and teleports, we clearly see Buu speed off in search of him. This gives Dende the opportunity to, at least in the anime, heal Tien; which he does. Tien was healed (onscreen), however seeing how Buu just dwarfed his power, he probably saw himself as a useless help. After talking a little with Dende, he leaves him while Dende takes Mr. Satan off to the battle field where Vegetto takes on Buu. Earth is later destroyed, Tien and all, and that's that.

The manga shows one last panel of him and Chaozu in the mountainous area where they live. I suppose when the world and its people were brought back he flew off to his home.

Unless Tenshinhan learned a weak form of Shunkaniido, went off and got Chaozu, then teleported in and moved Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo to safety just before the earth was destroyed!
... No, I didn't think so. :cry:

A lot of Deja vu threads this week... *doesn't complain*.

Though this brings me back to the question of... when Piccolo, Gohan, Goten and Trunks were first seen after the earth was wished back, what did they say in each version? I know on the Funi VHS Piccolo mentioned that their halos were gone. Was that mentioned in the manga/Japanese anime?

Well, Gokuu did think he was unconscious. One of my favorite cliffhangers is when Gokuu goes, "Tenshinhan's down... Dende's not a fighter..." *pan to Satan* "...Mister...Satan...!?" But similar to what Conan said, I'd assume Dende was too far away from Tenshinhan, or it didn't look safe to go to him, since Buu had already seen him heal Gohan and might not let him heal someone a second time.

Gohan: "Huh?"

Goten: "What happened...?"

And that's all when they were first revived.

Can you imagine a Super Saiyan using the Kaio-ken and Kikoho at the same time? If Vegeta somehow couldn't have gotten to Earth, that would have been a really cool idea to explore. Saiyan power combined with Crane School's greatest disciple.

Super Kaioken Kikoho! The whole universe is going to die!
Or maybe Tenku would explode or something. *shrug*.
Though super saiyan+kaioken+splitform+kikoho would probably kill things.

The dub name can be Tienku and the Japanese name can be Goshinhan. :D
