If they made another TV Special, What Would Like to See?

Post by FistOfTheSun » Mon Sep 07, 2009 1:39 am

This weeks podcast had an email with the idea of a TV Special revolving around the domination of Piccolo Daimao and his battles with Mutaito 300 years prior to his introduction in the series.
I personally thought that was a brilliant idea.

Anyway, does anyone have any other ideas for a TV special to "fill in the gaps" so to speak?

I would personally love a special about the trials of Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz after the destruction of Planet Vegeta.

The building of Vegeta's and Cui's "rivalry", the personal relationships, or lack of, between the saiya-jin comrades and the forming of the Ginyu special all seem like great topics to cover.

How about you gus?

Another post-Buu arc special focusing on Gohan and Videl. I know you all agree.

Something about Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chaozu's journey between the 22nd and 23rd tournament. I know there was that filler with the volcano, but hopefully it'd be something better than that. A proper mini-adventure for them, like all those filler ones Goku had between the tournaments.

The history of Freeza and his rise. The Freeza family: Freza, King Cold, Coola, Queen Friga, Uncle Ice, Aunt Snowy, Cousin Brisk, Granpa Winter, Grandma Chilla, and their dog, Zero.

Slice of life.

I'd like some more slice-of-life from the era "Ossu!" takes place in. X3 I want to see what the inside of Mark's ridiculously over-the-top hotel looks like, I want to see more of Goku dealing with the melancholy that's clearly driving him to irritate Vegeta for fun, I want to see Gohan and Videl's wedding--because I know it would be madness; that sort of thing.

Theres a ton of stuff Id like to see, such as Mr. Satans training FOR the first tournament he won; how Yamchu got his scars [did they ever show that?] and Goku training with Uub.

On a side note, there was got to be some MAJOR hatred of Uub on the part of Goten for 'taking his dad away' yet again.

No, they never explained that, not even in filler. Instead, they wasted all the pre-23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai filler on Yamcha and co. mucking about with volcanoes.

I'd have it set during Goku's training of Uub, and have Uub & Pan go on an adventure similar to Goku & Bulma's first adventure.

That would be a dream come true. I think we got a glimpse of how a Goku and Vegeta adventure would be like when they were stuck inside Buu but wasn't nearly enough.

To be honest I not a big fan of the couple. I have nothing against the pairing they just seem pretty boring to me. So I could care less about their wedding day. But if it's an odd ball wedding where whole bunch weird and crazy stuff happens, what the hell I watch it. Maybe they could have it in the middle of a bigger story sort to speak.

Tsk. What a waste, I didn't even watch that filler. I was always curious how Yamcha got his scars. What if wasn't such a big deal? What if Yamcha just tripped or something and landed on his face? :lol:

I dunno, the story was charming when a little boy and teenage girl goes out on an adventure but when you switch the roles things begin to feel a little bit uncomfortable. (Sorry to turn something innocent to something perverse. )

Something about the guy who locked Dai Kaioshin in the sword. He was stronger than Majin Buu according to the Kaioshin.

I want one scene.

I want when Freeza tells Vegeta "Your planet was destroyed by meteors." and that smirk on his face thinking, "You bastard!".

Not to rain on your parade, but didn't we just have a thread like this? I distinctly remember expressing my interest in a special that explores what happened when Majin Buu was first created and ravaged the galaxy.

I'll take anything as long as it's new animation and doesn't look as bad as the new movie did.

I mean, I loved the new movie, but the Super Saiyan hair looked terrible.

They should give us one after that when Uub gets his skills in order but before GT starts. Maybe another world tourny since Goku says they should spar again when he's stronger.

Depends how long it is. If it's 5-7 min Jump Festa, then I want it to be about Yamcha trying to nab one of the 2nd-5th place prizes at the 26th and 27th Budokais. After smacking around Satan in the first match in the 26th Budokai (giving Satan the idea of the Super Champion match for the subsequent Budokai), Yamcha misses and lands out of bounds. 3 years later, he gets all the way to the semi-final match (opponent = Boo). At least he gets the 4th place prize this way, right? Wrong: this year there are only prizes for 1st-3rd. Poor Yamcha.

If it's 15-20 minutes, I'd want a mini-adventure starring Goku, Uub, and Pan. Maybe how they met Z?

If a feature-length special (35-50), I'd want a story involving how future Trunks got his sword. Maybe Future Babidi released Hildegarn since there wasn't enough energy to release Boo?

If 45 minutes or longer, I'd want an epic story involving the Makaioshin vs Goku and Uub (and maybe Pan).

Yeah we did. I think a thread similar to this one was made a few days after the jump special appeared online last November. But what do want from us man?! We're replying on a forum about an anime that's been dead in water for like what? Ten years? All we got since then was a shitty American made DB movie and 25 minute jump special. Things are bound to get a little repetitive every now and then don't ya think.

I would enjoy an adventure like that so much. X3
The inside-Buu mini-adventure has some of my favorite filler in it.
Goku's new Vegeta-related hobby would make a new adventure very interesting.

Ever since Mr. Toriyama gave new information on the kaioshin in the Super Exciting Guide I've wanted to see more stuff related to this. :3
I'm hoping we get more information on the makaioshin through DBO.

I would like to see a post gt special. It would be very interesting so see what happened to everyone when gt ended. Since pan is the only one left we could have her tell some stories to Goku Jr. which would include flashbacks.
