I don't really see any resemblance at all between Seripa and Raditz.

Seripa does, however, look like a dead ringer for Videl~

I don't think Fasha is Goku and Radditz's mother. When Bardock and crew were sitting and hanging after destroying a civilization out she talked about Goku to Bardock, but she called him "your son."
She may have wanted to keep it a secret from the others, but I doubt it.

I always thought this particular screen was supposed to show that Tora and Fasha were an item or mates or whatever you call it.

I know they didn't die lovingly in each others arms like this but still
It has something "romantic" to it.

No, I can't see it either. I think they block hotlinking. You can copy the url and paste it in your address bar to see it, though (after which it'll show up on the page too, since that'll put it in your cache).

Yeah, that shot's always given me that impression as well.

(I.E Goku and Bardock, and Goten and Goku.) - With the exception of Vegeta.
Maybe Ta'ble takes after his mother? :idea:

So, what we know about mothers...

Queen Vegeta: not mentioned
Broli's mother: Suspiciously absent. This interests me for two reasons; one, it keeps in line with other things we know (about both saiya[ji]n and DB in general), and second... consider Paragus' relationship with Broli.
Goku's mother: Well, she's ... probably dead. Incinerated, I expect. (The first fanfic I read on the internet was a "Freeza's mother takes revenge, and Goku's mother and half-sister are in there somehow" fic... I kinda want to reread that now. XD ).
Freeza's mother: We don't even know if such a being ever existed (Freeza's race's reproductive techniques aren't elaborated on...). Even in the realm of fanfiction... I'm not so sure I think Toyble's Lila is as "give birth to Freeza"-ish as it sounds so far (either that, or Toyble's good at making me think plottwists are going to happen when they don't... T.T).
ChiChi's mother: Dead by heart disease. Filler says Gyu-mao was stuck in his burning castle to protect her wedding dress, which was used by ChiChi.
Bulma's Mother: ...
Videl's mother: Dead.
Kuririn's parents: Who knows, what with the whole monk thing...
Yajirobe: Disowned, I think...
T'en: I'm going to guess that he's not a "pure" descendant of the three-eyed tribe (that is, he probably has mixed blood). Keeping in line with the Dragonball tradition, we can assume for no logical reason that his Three-eyed-ness came from his father. :mad: <-- ignore this entry.
Chaozu: What do concubines do? O.O.
Kaioshin: Well, we have the ancestor fused with a witch. Hmm.
Yamcha: Heh.

... Oh, c'mon, I had to. :P

All that's mentioned in the manga is that she died when Videl was little. The only other piece of information on her is from the guide Son Goku Densetsu, which cites her as being the reason for Videl's good looks.
Well that is obviously invalid as her good looks would come from the most attractive looking parent, which is Mr. Satan, obviously!

Yamcha's probably an orphan. He actually kind of reminds me a little bit of that guy who's taking care of orphans in the Saiyan arc filler. I'd guess that Yamcha had a somewhat similar upbringing, except that he was alone as a kid, and stealing food and stuff to survive.

Actually now that you make me think about it, I'd say T'en might have been abandoned.....If you suppose the whole third eye thing, skipped a few generations between, his alien ancestors and his parents...Maybe they didn't want to raise a "freak".

... Makes sense. :cry: Maybe he should join the X-m--ur, or the Crane school... *ahem*.

This is Videl's mother!?!? :shock:

By the way, if Videl was born after the Cell games she'd be Goten's age, not Gohan's age. Take that MFG (or whoever the theory came from).

I always would have pictured Goku's mother to look similar to him, if you notice Radditz and Bardock have the evil eye, but Goku has the good eye , so I think the eyes of Goku's mother would look similar to his, or ChiChi's. Her hair would probably be a bit like Radditz', minus the Vegeta style hairline, and maybe not as long but a bit shorter.

As for Videl's, in the anime I remember Videl saying her Mother left her Dad as he was cheating on her, I never read that part in the manga, but if the manga said she died then it's true as it's coming straight from the main source.

The woman reporter at the Cell games can't really be her Mother, I would think that her Mother was at home with her watching it on TV.

Goku has the good eyes because he's not a mass-murdering animal.

Tullece was, and he has the same eyes as Goku.

Really? I thought his eyes had closed lines. Like most of the "evil" Saiya-jins.
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!

Or dead. We don't really know how old Videl was when she died.
