Ah, good old Sal.
I hate how long it takes Sal to get me some of my packages. I mean, he has the Shunkan-Ido, it should be a much faster process. =P
Well said both of you. I absolutely lost it! :lol:

That Daizenshuu 7 writes this in Marron's profile:

I found it amusing.

He made it out of a person/people (think it was one person). So that kid unknowingly became a cannibal. :mrgreen:

Well, he didn't steal it. He turned someone into it, so it makes sense that it has his unique branding.

EDIT: And damn you, MetalWario64... :(

I didn't realize puberty worked that way. Clearly my public school education failed me!

On this forum? More than you think.

And so what if it's from the Japanese version of Pokemon? Still an interesting anecdote.

Let's try to keep the rest of the conversation focused on DB please, though. Thanks :).

Wait, really? I've always joked that Marron grew her nose during puberty, but had no idea it was actually backed up in a guidebook. That's hilarious.

Also, I love how dry and Japanese the wording is, with the congratulations at the end.

Haha, actually, the way it's worded, it almost makes it sound like it's putting Kuririn down. "Unlike her father, who, when he went through puberty, didn't manage to grow a nose. In fact, his nostrils never dropped. So, yeah, congratulations, Marron-chan. Genetics was kinder to you than your midget, noseless father."

I noticed that Chaozu has not won a single fight in the whole series... Unless of course you count the filler episodes where he fought Guldo.

To be fair, he only has, like, three major fights in the entire series besides that. (Kuririn, Tao Pai Pai offscreen, and Nappa)

Chaozu's really as superfluous as superfluous gets. He has a role in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, serving to fill out the roster of Crane students and provide a creepy sidekick villain to Tenshinhan. But after that he exists solely to cause Tenshinhan emotional strife by getting beaten, and Toriyama quickly has him stop coming to fights at all, which is for the best.

I guess the "-s" part might be a bit of a stretch, but damned if they don't all start with the same two letters.

There's no real "backing up" to be done. I mean, it's right there in the picture, as clear as the nose on your face. :mrgreen:

Also, I just realized a big continuity error in DBZ Movie 5. I've always maintained that it could take place in the three year period when they're training to fight the androids; Goku just isn't used to the SSJ transformation yet and Gohan grew his tail back and gets it removed before the androids show up. However, Cooler is informed that Freeza was killed by a Saiyan that narrowly escaped Vegeta before it was destroyed; he was only drifting through space and near death at the time. Granted, everyone though he was dead at the time, but Goku should have been on his way back to Earth if that were the case.

The real bummer is that they missed an awesome opportunity show more of Goku on Yardrat or some other planet. Maybe Cooler could have even run into Vegeta while trying to find Goku or something...
This will never not be my sig:
