Err... wasn't it just a general plot idea he came up with? Such as the whole "Perhaps Yamcha started making a living playing baseball during the 5 years of peace after the battle with Piccolo" note.

... or some movie plots/villains.

Well, I already pointed out the movie villain designs to Gozar. But plot points? Which movies? Or, do you just mean the general stuff (like, "Broli doesn't really need to have a tail.")?

I think he's the one who suggested to have Freeza's brother show up, for example.
I think.

Interesting. Well, as you can probably guess from my comment about my fear of the Japanese Internet, searching through Japanese text is a little intimidating to me, so I never thoroughly searched through Daizenshuu 6. Is that where that info would be from?

I haven't read that one, so no...
And I wouldn't call that an "interesting info," really... Like I said, I "think." I could be mistaken, just like I was for that Thouser thing. ^^;

And I consider that canon.

As far as I am concerned...The following is all Canon...

-Table
-Goku being a radish farmer for a short time
-Ava and Cado
-The party

Though I'm not actually sure...Has there been any confirmation yet as to how much involvement Toriyama had with this?

Teaser articles imply that he came up with the concept of Tarble being Vegeta's brother. Anything beyond that (story or designs) are still unknown.

It's essentially the same thing as Freeza having a son. In a gag manga. In which Freeza is still ordering Vegeta around. As a Super Saiyan.

I wonder if Toriyama originally had Onio as Vegeta's brother...

The villains honestly look like recycled crap to me.

To be honest I kind of agree. I wouldn't say crap but they do just look like your average run of the mill Toriyama Dragon Warrior monsters.

I'm sure Fox would do better.

Of-fucking-course, who could deny the brilliance that FOX delivers? They're fucking top-notch. Fucking..fuck.

-Goku being a radish farmer for a short time

What's the bettings that job is for a very short period of time? Goku has that kind of 'up and leave when he feels like it' attitude.
I can hardly see him saying to the dragon at the end of the series.

"Well Dragon... I would have loved to stay with you and become immortal and everything.... It's not leaving Chichi and my family thats the problem... I can't leave my raddish growing job... If that makes the world a dangerous place... Then so be it."

Personally I think Goku would go on an eating binge... You can eat Raddish raw right?

So is there a link to a clip yet?

Forgotten Hero · Post by **Forgotten Hero** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 7:35 pm

I found this over on MFG...

"Yeah, that blurry little promotional manga blurb is soon to be Vegeta's little brother. The new Dragonball 35 minute short to be shown during the Jump Super Anime Tour will feature this bouncy little bundle of violent rage. Now since King Vegeta, Vegeta's father, is long dead and Vegeta-sei, Vegeta's home planent, is long destroyed, how does one come about such a plothole of a brother?

As of right now, fans are speculating a bastard." - MFG

Since we don't see saiyans do much growing before puberty, something painful could have happened to Ta(r)ble's testosterone enhancement devices before then. Though I leave speculation as to the surrounding circumstances to anyone who cares to imagine such things...

Could this be the biggest plothole in the history of DB?
