He was MAKING TOAST.
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

You say the same thing other people say all the time, do I have to be a prick about it?
No?
Then why do you.

And you were the second person to make the joke. So, to Past Piccolo Daimaoh: That joke's already been done. But I'm not gonna mention it for fear of seeming to be an ass.

It's because of that there are the ten commandments of Mr. Popo [Created year 0 A.M.P. (After Mr. Popo)]:

The 10 Commandments of Mr. Popo - Mr. Popo's Revelation in the Old Earthian Testament of Might:

"And Mr. Popo spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the DAWG your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other Mr. Popos before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of Mr. Popo when he is in Kami's palace heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of Mr. Popo, your God, in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the TOAST DAY, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother, whom both are Mr. Popo's bitches.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder, only physically and mentally punish your victim.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery, unless the man/woman is really hot.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal nor loan Mr. Popo's TOAST, nor his MAGICAL CARPET.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against Mr. Popo.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house ; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's. Well, unless you are Mr. Popo.'

Mr. Popo's Summation in the New Earthian Testament of Might:
About 1,400 years later (Year 1,401 A.M.P. to be more exact), the 10 Commandments of Mr. Popo were summed up in the New Earthian Testament of Might at "That guy who was Popo's bitch" 22, when Mr. Popo was confronted by the envious "experts" of the day:

"Oh, thy holiness, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Mr. Popo replied: "'Remember the TOAST DAY, to keep it holy.' This is the fourth and greatest commandment. And the eighth is like it: 'You shall not steal nor loan Mr. Popo's TOAST, nor his MAGICAL CARPET.' All the Law and the Prophets [Goku the Strong, Kami the Wise and Kuririn the Bald] hang on these two commandments" ("That guy who was Popo's bitch" 22:36-40).

A reflective reading of Mr. Popo's teaching reveals that the fourth commandment given to the children of Earth are contained in the statement: "Once Mr. Popo is without toast, Armageddon will ensue".


There, an elaborate answer! I'm surprised that you didn't know this fundamental fact.

Can't remember where abouts he was revived from but maybe he was closer to the fight than Kami's lookout. That or my mind is boggled and he was indeed revived on Kami's lookout itself which I actually think did happen.

Since he had his body with him when he died, he stayed right where he was when he was revivied: ie, Kaio's planet. Then he spent the next two days running back along the Serpentine Road. When he made it back to Enma's, Kami-sama was there to transport him back to the world of the living. Specifically, his palace, where Goku took a few seconds to talk to Kami and Popo. So he wasn't just revived closer to Kami's than the battle space, he was revived AT Kami-sama's.

I would actually agree with this as being the most logical explanation, however ridiculous it may seem. It sounds exactly like the kind of bullshit plot device Toriyama would pull.

If you think about it, its pretty clear. Popo said he gets 10,000 miles to the soul. He didn't have any souls at the time. But once Goku was in the hospital and there were no witnesses, he was free to harvest what he wanted. Why do you think Yamcha was gave up fighting so much earlier than anyone else?

He obviously couldn't take their entire soul, or else people would get suspicious, but the humans seemed pretty lifeless after their stay in the afterlife.

Yeah, it seems there are a number of members here who suffer from repetition.

Its another abridged joke from the same episode. I promised myself I'd never post after 2 am, I broke that promise and am now more determined to keep it.

Nope, sorry. Rocketman's post, whatever his character is otherwise, was the greatest, most necessary thing I have ever read here.
