Defiantly captain Ginyu for me :) I like the look of his character
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I wouldn't call it "smarts". Any idiot knows that it's better to GTFO out of there after you've just seen Gokuu defeat your comrades, all of whom around your strength. What else could he do?
Jizu ran away before Vegeta killed Recoome and Batta. He actually doomed his friends since Goku gave him the chance to take them and go away.

Now, now. He could be using it in the sense that he flies in the face of popular opinion (Reacoom) and is defiant in his choice for Ginyuu?

It should be definitely.

What's the difference between definitely and Defiantly? :? When I spell Defiantly it doesn't show up in Red that I've misspelled it. sorry though I am a little bit stupid

Defiance means to go against authority. To do something defiantly means to do something with defiance. So, you're going against authority if Ginyu is defiantly the best. Definitely means just what you think it is.

Wow I did not know that. I always assumed I was spelling it correctly because my computer never underlined it as a misspelling :?

Sorry about that guys I always spelled definitely like this ''defiantly'' I have dyslexia and sometimes I don't sound words out the proper way. thanks for correcting me. I would have continued on believing that Defiantly and definitely sounded and meant the same thing.

I definitely prefer Captain Ginyu :D

Jeice :lol: , just such an airhead. Always enjoyed him.

Ginyu Force Full "Kai" theme- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2VyWdhOf90
- Interesting little debate going on the youtube message board there. I 100% agree with what the top comment.

"Some shows have around 900 random ass side characters that are weird for the sake of being weird and "original". I've seen most of the show and none of them left an impression on me. Toriyama on the other hand, almost effortlessly created 5 timeless characters that I still cherish today as an adult (mid 20s)."

PS- the quote referenced another anime specifically, but figured I'd change it since it applies to a lot of shows I've seen that try to create as many characters as possible in order force the impression that they're somehow memorable.

My favorite has always been Bahta. His character design has always stood out from the rest of the Ginyu Squad to me. I also like that he and Jeece had a combination special attack. None of the other members had moves that combined together, so I always liked that. He's also the most silent of the group, only ever speaking when necessary. In retrospect, that is a quality that many of my favorite fictional characters share. :mrgreen:

What are you talking about? :o Batta and Jizu are two loud guys, who keep talking during Recoome's fight and screaming at Goku.

I suppose you have a point. Although, I think Jeece does most of the noise-making. Ultimately you could argue that Guldo is the most silent, but that could just be because he dies first. :P

Regardless, I still like Bahta the best no matter how much he talks.

For me it's a draw between Bahta, Batta and Burta. I forget which is which.

Blue has always been my colour, so it's obvious I would like Butta (Burter, Baata, whatever) the most. He's similar to my favourite Looney Tunes-character (which I was addicted to before Dragonball), the Road Runner: blue and fast. With that said, it's odd that I'm not a Sonic fan.
Usually goes by "Kevtrev" elsewhere online.
Draws comics that may or may not have been blatantly inspired by Akira Toriyama's manga.
