Did they kill Mr. Popo too!? Cause if they didn't there is no excuse as to why he didn't find Gohan and take his ass to The Room of Spirit and Time. :roll:

Probably. The Senzu plant is gone and I don't see that happening if Korin is still around. And if they found Korin, they can find Kami's Lookout.

See, I just can't buy into all of that. Toriyama can really put some incredible bull in his story but this one is too much for me. I can't believe everyone would just be like "Oh fuck it. The world belongs to those two now. I'm chilling at King Kai's." So they'll go half way across the universe to revieve 5 people but they won't make ANY effort to stop two beings who have reduced the population of the earth to the 10's of thousands ? :roll:

Call the Namekians ! Have em wish Goku back to life. After about 20 years he should be strong enough to wipe em out. It just seems like everyone gave up. I know King Kai can't always interfere and show favoritism towards one planet but come on ! It's not right !

So instead of having Goku train in the other world where he has tons of equipment and strong opponents to fight...bring him to Namek? 20 years would be too late everyone would be dead Goku would come back to a bunch of dust and they would kill him too. It was a hopeless situation and the only way they could fix it was to go back in time.

I meant that from the time he passed away to the time Trunks went back. Surely in all those years of being dead Goku got strong enough to defeat 17 and 18.

The Dragonball's can't revive a person after said person has been gone for a full year, actually I just remembered that rule now. :lol:

Nope, not even they have that power. Which is why all the Saiyans weren't revived when they asked the Dragon to bring back everyone killed by Freeza and his henchmen.

A heart virus is natural. The Dragonballs can't revive someone who died naturally.

Alright. I guess they really probably did try everything. Looks like that time line was just fucked huh ? Well until Trunks saved it that is...Oh well. :?

They killed him for his drugs. :lol:

Considering the popularity of the Terminator series you'd think the live action films would want to cover the Trunks Special. :lol:

The one idea about the bad ending for Frieza that sees Gohan go back in time to stop Piccolo from telling Raditz about the Dragon Balls had me thinking: How awesome would it be if Gohan encountered Raditz when Raditz went to Roshi's island, and in this storyline, Gohan neglected to cut his hair, so it's long and shaggy. He's wearing Piccolo's outfit, and then Goku and Roshi look at Gohan and his 4 1/2 year old incarnation and go, "WHAT THE FUCK?!" and then Gohan kills Raditz right there. And since Piccolo was observing, he'd be wondering what's going on, and why this guy was wearing his clothes. And who would've known what would happen, another Goku vs Piccolo, battle perhaps? There's so many possibilities."
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

I wonder if they killed Mercenary Tao as well.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Naw, he showed up and was like "Hey guys, I'm a cyborg too" and they were all "sweet, wanna kill some bitches" and he was like "word". Then they had a tea party on the corpses of a whole town, but SSJ Gohan would kill him later and 18 was sad 'cause they'd kinda sorta hooked up but 17 was cool with it cause he's a creepy bastard and would watch when 18 was changing outfits. This is all cannon and my cousin who works for akira got told it straight.

Howsabout Trunks goes back to the RRA days and warns either Goku (or maybe even Roshi) of the threat of Gero, and to make sure he's found and dealt with. Then leave the vaccine either with the Briefs family or with Kami/Popo (Goku wouldn't know them yet, but Trunks would have knowledge of them). Problems solved, though everyone's screwed come Buu Saga. Then again, with everyone weaker, it could have lead to them needing to train to surpass Dabura, while not being strong enough to near-instantly awaken Buu, and maybe that whole Saga would end on Babidi's ship.
To show my appreciation, I'll only beat them half to death.

Well, since Goku died naturally, we can scratch that. Here's my idea.

When the heroes all got killed and meet up on King Kai's planet to sullenly explain to each other the events that just transpired, one of them with half a brain interrupts the verbal exposition and says, "Hey, I've got it!" They all let out a collective gasp and they're all ears.

The plan is laid out like this:

They exploit King Kai and contact the Nameks and Gohan

They tell Mori the situation and ask him to summon Porunga.

They tell Gohan to get himself and everyone else to Kami's Lookout if it wasn't destroyed. If it was, they tell him to get everyone to the area and wait for the wishes to be granted.

They make 3 wishes

Revive the Z fighters and other key people killed by the Androids.

Teleport them to Kami's Lookout.

- If the Lookout was destroyed, use the second wish to bring it back exactly as it was and the third wish to teleport them there. -

They all train in the Room of Spirit and Time

Put Vegeta and Gohan in the room.

Put whoever else in the room afterwards.

-----

Then they execute the plan. Ta-daaaa!

Porunga can only revive one person at a time.

And that still relies on King Kai bending the rules again. :P
