Popo's wish in Namek saga...

Post by TheTET » Thu Aug 30, 2007 3:32 am

He asked to revive EVERYONE that Freeza killed and he killed the saiyans, and some of his soldiers/henchmen. Do you think it's possible that planet Vegeta resscurrected?

I remember someone here saying that the dragon can only revive a person who was killed within the last year. Not sure if that's accurate though. I could be imagining that I read it. It's happened before. :shock:

Yeah. Shenron states this when Popo tries to make his wish. I, personally, believe it only applied to that wish because it was billions of people being revived, even with the year limitation. And would have been billions of trillions without it, far too many for Shenron to bring back. So he rough estimated his power limits to a year instead of "I can only bring back 349,125,654,019 people at once." leaving Popo with a WTF face. >>

Doesn't Porunga not have the year limit, though? I know it doesn't have "I can only do it once" problem at least, so while the Earth dragon balls can't make the wish, maybe someone could use Porunga to do it?

Now I'm getting off topic and hypothetical.

Well, that depends, are we talking Buu-saga parunga, or Freeza-saga Parunga, who could only revive one person at a time?
... On that note, was it dub only that Parunga seemed a bit exasperated when asked to revive the Earth's population?

I remember that when he was told to bring them back "except the really bad ones" he said it would take a while for him to sort through and weed out the bad ones...

Well, yeah, but Parunga wasn't active at the time of said wish, and... umm... *looks up reason why was asking about Parunga*

By mentioning Porunga I have completely derailed this thread!

Now that my work here is done I will roll off on my skateboard into the distance.

Doesn't Popo have a WtF face by default?

A planet isn't alive. Even if the Saiyans came back, they came back to where planet Vegeta used to be.

You have given me a Marvel-ripoff idea for a fanfic.
Oh, and... umm... all those discussions about the saiyans that were away from home: I'd imagine some of them were on planets that survived when they were exterminated. Nevertheless, the year-rule stands?

So practically, if it worked we would have had thousands of dead Saiyans floating around.

Yeah, the dragon only resurrects people that have died within a year.
Strength is all that matters everything else is just a dillusion for the weak!
