I was done with this silly argument but I guess you had to add your two cents. Talk to the other two I explained my reasons for using the name on a number of occasions and I said I was done with this ridiculous discussion. Wojak thanks for understanding. Rocketman avatars have nothing to do with it, I was just demonstrating how silly it was to make a big deal out of something insignificant as a name someone chooses to use.
I never said you were going to keep the argument going; my post wasn't directed at anyone specific, but I've seen enough of these net arguments to know that even if one person bows out, someone else will inevitably keep it going, and new people will dive in and the person who tries to say 'let's just drop it and get back on-topic' is often ignored. I added my two cents, yeah, but it wasn't meant to lash out at anyone specific, here, just hopefully stop the entire thing from continuing unnecessarily.
Because as you can see, Satan-Sama has completely ignored my post and gone back to continue the argument.
Whatever, I'm done here. I said what I felt should be said, so whether it accomplished anything or not, I'm done.

I understand now and I apologize.

Big deal? When did I make a
big deal about it? I just said it sounds stupid and that's it, it does.
You made a big deal about it when you didn't let it go after the first explanation.

Other people are allowed to point out inaccuracies and such, and this style of attitude is unwarranted and not appreciated.
I'm seeing plenty of absolutely ridiculous responses in this thread, which is absolutely asinine. It needs to end
right now, and
everyone needs to re-read
their own posts to see just how ridiculous they all are,
Saiyan-Professor in particular.
This is a formal and final warning for
all parties involved.

Anyway, getting back on track, my question is.. well, what happened? Are we to presume movie 9 is canon, and Vegeta got his fighting spirit back in the fight with Bojack? or did something else happen, because when Gohan is visiting Capsule corp, we see that Vegeta is still in fine shape, and is infact, reminding Gohan that he should be the same.
So, yeah, what happened to Vegeta's little speech?
I think the nineth film works as a possible "this is how Vegeta got his groove back" but considering the utter helpnessless he felt when Son and Gohan completely stomped on him and his pride--not to mention #18--and having lost his chance for a rematch with Son...I think he was simply clouded at the time. I'm not sure if Toriyama takes movie nine as canon, however if he spoke with his editor and TOEI I'm sure it would make sense that he maybe sees the film as canon, despite the lack of mentioning in the Daizenshû.

I am curious as to what mine judges.
You're a fan of a character whose name is *really* appropriate.

Toriyama originally wanted to end the series at the Cell Saga but the fans didn't like that he made Gohan the hero, so he did another saga. As of why Vegeta broke his promise,well, he could've kept what he said but then when Trunks got old enough, he convinced himself to train him to be more powerful than Gohan.
This can be proven in Dragonball Z Volume 20(dragonball volume 36) when Bulma says to Gohan that Vegeta thought Trunks was old enough to train and wants him to get better than Gohan
"Goku's power level is 20,567 and doubles when he turns SSJ. Vegeta's power level is 18,890 and also doubles when he turns SSJ. What is the difference of their power level if they both fight in their SSJ forms?"
Dragonball makes math fun!

The fans are smarter than the creator sometimes.

If the entire series after the Cell arc was going to be the way the Saiyaman stuff was, I'd be all for it.

Remember Toriyama intended to have the series finish after the Cell Games. I think Vegeta actually did just give up all together, since his anger and frustration led to him losing all hope of surpassing Goku and Gohan. Boo Saga was just fucked up, they had Vegeta somehow going back on his word and then 18 and Kuririn happily married or something and there's no explanation as to how it happened.
