How come Pilaf's still alive in GT?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

Vegeta sacrified his life to save his loved ones. (though it turned out to be futile.) Pilaf=not good.

But first he killed countless people and enjoyed himself doing it. My point is that if he's capable of redeeming himself from his atrocities, then Pilaf, who wasn't anywhere near as hardcore AND who never managed to even do something evil, can be revived.

Yeah but he's still not a good guy. He's kinda like Jesse &James from Pokemon. None of his schemes work. He's just annoying.

Exactly. That doesn't make him any more evil than the rest of the world. You're all making it seem like everyone on Earth is pure good. Annoying and greedy does not make Pilaf as evil as Babidi's goons.

Holy crap, I never realized that the pun there was so bad: "Jessy James".

Anywho... Pilaf can't be any more "evil" than most people. And even if he was, he's like 2 feet tall. Normal sized people can't take him seriously. And who'd be the one to decide if he's "too evil"? Mondo-sized King Yemma. Pilaf's like the size of his nostril - he probably thinks Pilaf is trying to be funny with the world domination thing. :D

What kind of glass? Would it even give them a sunburn? :?
Maybe he planned to fry them like ants with a magnifying glass. :P

I think the threat comes not from the glass ceiling itself, but from the fact that they were trapped in a metal room, which would quickly become like an oven.

But wasn't he going to go take them out at dawn so that he could laugh at them? How hot could it be by the time the sun FIRST starts coming out?

In the manga, he says that the afternoon sun was brutal. He was going to watch them die where they were, when it cooked them.

Ah. In that case we can return to the "Attempted Chemistry" theory. :P
