Zephyr wrote:And that's to say nothing of how pretty much impossible it is to capture what made the original run of the series so great. I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Is Lao a dub name or something? Cause Lime's grandfather went unnamed in the original.

You know, granted I haven't watched that episode in years, but I don't remember him having a name there either.

<= Mutaito =>
Likes: Not only is he the master of Kame'se' and Tsuru'se', but he trapped Piccolo, and filler expanded on him with quite the wise sensei personality, going so far as to point out that even though Goku had the Kamehameha under his belt, there were still aspects of ki he didn't really "know" so well just yet. (And then took it back to fire and water... I wonder if the DBE writers watched this episode?

).
Dislikes: Seeing as I didn't get to the Piccolo Daimao stuff until three or four years ago, he was one of the last characters I was introduced to .

Not trying to be offen
sive or a douchebag, but it's a shame Kunzait_83 didn't do Mutaito
.
And you didn't even include a picture
.
Eh, I thought of that after posting.

... *kinda wants to read what Kunzait would have said* :-/.
And... ur... pictures aren't within my power. *considers indicating this sig-ly*.

Character #197
Mikokatsun (thanks to bkev for that, I was busy mangling it)
Like- Son Goku has a sweet fight with a blob monster! Fun as hell to watch, great little bit.
Dislike- He's actually a blob robot.

Huh... Must be, unless my memory is really playing tricks on me.

I seem to remember someone here (Saiyan Princess?) referring to him by that name as well. O.O *confused*.

Character #200
The Super Saiyan
Likes: He's so into what's going on he knows what a Super Saiyan is and wears a t-shirt, or a wife beater, claiming to be one.
Dislikes: He's not THE Super Saiyan. And It's doubtful he is a Saiyan at all, and he dresses like a douche. His friend dresses like a nerd.

#201 - Ebifuriya=
Likes: Ice bio-warrior from my favorite Z movie! Though not quite as cool as Mikokatsun, he's a step above the electric guy even if he doesn't last as long.
Dislikes: Goku wasted him and the others too easily! I wish it'd been a little harder for him, so we could see an awesome fight like we did with Roshi.

Damnit, who stole my 200 spot?! That went quick. Ah well...
Character #203
<= The Tori-Bot=>
Likes: It's the man himself... Kinda? This little guy is Akira Toriyama's avatar, and appears at severeal points within the DragonBall manga. It's always a pleasure to see him pop up. His final little in-universe appearance during Gotenks' storyline was a hoot.
Dislikes: He should have defeated Majin Buu!

Character #204
<= Fox-Bandit =>
{ Ok, so no image, but I'm talking ... the second? filler episode after the 21st tournament... 34? Kanzentai says 30. }
Likes: I missed the first few seconds of this episode, and my sister calls amusedly, "It's Yamcha as a kid!". Heh.

. He does seem to be into the theft/selling business for need-based reasons, though doesn't seem too incredibly eager to change things, and... ur... forced more Naked Goku screentime?
Dislikes: Ur, yeah. Thief~!
