mai had no business being in that movie.

Bulma dresses more like someone who you'd want a panty flash from.

And thanks to Goku, Roshi got much more of a show.

Bulma is a skank. Mai has cute hair. The end.

Say, if Pilaf did end up ruling the world (power to the powerless, see we're still on topic), how would his empire fare against the Red Ribbon Army or another villain? He would have been granted power magically is that the kind of power that can be overthrown?

I think the world under Pilaf would be betetr than any other villian.

He didnt have any wish to destroy the planet or kill billions of people, he just wanted to rule them.

I assume he would have just become King instead of whoever it was at the time. So he'd have the same resources the King would have, and I think it's said that the police/military didn't have much luck fighting the RRA.

Not sure why though. Maybe they just weren't taken seriously enough. I'm sure if Pilaf wanted he could just order in a massive strike force like the one that tried to kill Cell and blow the base the pieces.

No Goku?

- Bulma wouldn't have bothered returning Roshi's Turtle. Still a slim chance she'd get the dragonball.
- Let's assume somehow Bulma subdues Oolong.
- And that Gohan isn't a problem.
So That's five dragonballs. for Bulma. Pilaf has the one-star. That leaves Gyu-mao's...
The only way I see that working is if Bulma and Yamcha manage to work together and ... like... ChiChi gets involved and... *head explodes*.

Still, let's assume all of that works out. Pilaf gets his wish, probably... it's unlikely that Oolong and Puar would be in the area with the opportunity to foil his plan without Goku.
Even-even- then.
Krillin and Yamcha lose to Jackie Chun in the tournament.
Noone goes after the dragonballs again.
The RRA probably gets all but the one that Pilaf has.
If we assume that still works out, somehow, then we'd have a giant Commander Red on our hands...
Black wouldn't like that, but I'm suspecting that Red's wish would be worded in such a way to make him a match for the battle jacket. Not necessarily any of the random warriors lying around, but there is one catch: noone knows, let alone cares.

The best we'd get would be Black running away and hiring TaoPaipai to take down Red.
Piccolo comes out... that's pretty much it.

So in conclusion... Fweh.

*blames #17 and #18 for being too ridiculously strong* :P

"Krillin and Yamcha lose to Jackie Chun in the tournament."

At that point, this wouldnt have hapened. Goku wouldnt have ran into Yamcha in the desert and wouldnt have been in the tournament.

Krillin would have trained with Roshi but possibly not have been as strong.
