Not sure if this counts, but I just realized I should have bought the entire manga first, instead of only reading the 'Z' portion while watching the Dragon Ball anime for the first time on the Blue Bricks. Now I'm all confused about what to buy/watch/read because I want it all :shock: I guess I'll just buy the Dragon Boxes after I'm done with the blue bricks and then start reading the manga..

Um, and also buy GT if you haven't already. There's that convenient series set coming out.

I realized that Blue (Red Ribbon dude, not forum member) says some pretty damn disturbing stuff in BT3. "Come over here and let me rub that little bald head of yours!" "What a cute little boy!"

That you can't trust Yajirobe.
I mean, first off, he just watches the whole Goku vs. Vegeta fight, not helping at the least.
Then he suddenly shows up and says basically to Goku "Hey, I'm here so you know! Way to go!".
And he suddenly slashes Vegeta's tail, just to ruin Kuririn's chances with the Genki Dama by his impatience.
He disappears, and everyone thinks that he won't help in the fight anymore. But noooo, he suddenly jumps and slices Vegeta's back.
Then the sly bastard tries to negotiate and be friends with Vegeta, just to be K.O.'d.

He seems like a hit and run character, and if the chance never comes, he won't help. So you can't trust him.

No, but I just now realized that. :P
I mean, I never thought much about his appearance and disappearance in that fight.

What? Those are both from the intro... The second image is seconds after the first...

Like I said "I'm not sure" but even if it's from the OP, it still normal for clothes changes.

That Vegeta would technically be the King of Saiyans.

Yeah, I've wondered why he continued to call himself the Prince of Saiyans after his father's death.

No he doesn't. :P He brags about the fact he was stronger than him by the time he was a kid.

There is no Sayan race left (besides 4 members) and he didn`t officially receive the title of King while there was one.

He just holds on to his former title because he is a very proud man.

And yes, its a former title. He is just a soldier in Freeza`s army because Freeza let him live and there is no Sayan race left to speak of.

If I was a vice-president of a country and everybody in that country died including the President, I wouldn`t call myself the President of that country, even though technically I was (because the rules state than in event of death, the vice-president would succeed), and even though I might remind people what I used to be (vice-president) if I got pissed and I was proud enough.

Well, according to Trunks, Vegeta had been standing on a mountain for three days seeing beyond Super Saiyan.

Unless that was a joke.

Considering what an arrogant character Vegeta is, I think it would've made sense for him to call himself "The King Of Saiyans" because he's so proud, regardless of the fact that he was never officially appointed the King.

Apparently, Yamcha is a fan of plastic car models.
