Maybe he was born with a full head of hair, but shaved it off? And then old age came into play and he lost his hair naturally. I'm just guessing here. :lol:

Maybe he has a reciding hairline, which implies that even though his hair never changes shape, he can still lose hair due to age or something. But I've always just assumed he cut his bangs when he got older or let it grow out naturally. The latter seems more likely because it wouldn't require any grooming.

Okay, enough talk about Vegeta's hair. :D
Then wha about Nappa going from mohawk to crome dome?
Toriyama said he had simply got bold. My guess is that Saiyans do lose their hair with age.

Nappa used to be part of the popular Saiyans group. He was hip, cool, and groovy. Eventually he forgot to take Vegeta to Space Dairy Queen. As punishment, Vegeta burnt off his hair. Nappa went into deep depression and bullied Raditz to fill the void.

When Vegeta is first shown in the manga he's 29, it's possible his hairline may have receded, but going from BOG I doubt it. Actually forget doubt it, Vegeta should be about 4-5 there, maybe younger (unlikely), there's no chance he's got a receding hairline. :lol:

Seems legit. Then Raditz died, and Vegeta wouldn't let Nappa have his plaything back. No wonder he took it out on the Earthlings :D

There's no new non-spoiler 2ch BOG thread this time. O_O
Normally they create a new thread and link it when it's close to 1000 posts, but this time nothing.

I guess that's it for that then. *Feels weird since she's been following those thread jumps for a while now*.
The spoiler one is still there, but it's not moving that fast.

Vegeta's hair is probably just an inconsistency like Yamcha's hair going grey in the JSAT special and but being pitch black in this movie.

Couldn't Vegeta have just.. ya know, cut his bangs off? Toriyama did design GT Vegeta who apparently had a hair cut and a mustache.

EDIT: I noticed that in the beginning of this thread people were hoping for baby shower instead of just a typical birthday party and funny enough we kinda got a baby shower anyway just not for Bulma.

Also did anyone else find themselves laughing at some of the stuff they read in the synopsis? I personally found hilarious how after all these years in the fandom people joke about Goku's intelligence then Roshi comes out and says the only reason Goku is pure of heart is because he's an idiot. Beers break dancing was funny as well, one has to wonder where did he learn to dance? Did Whis teach him? lol great stuff.

It's you who occasionally puts a link to your website on 2ch threads, right? I think there's no point in doing it because no one there is interested in something written in English. Also, you should always be anonymous on 2ch. Otherwise you'd be ignored or badly insulted.

Re: Avenged

Thank you for the link. Those threads really have been moving way too fast lately for me to keep up the way I was (that is, translate-reading) so I've mostly been scrolling through them for links to any images or news posts.

Yūsuke Watanabe :''I thought I’d do a story where the enemy appears at a party on Earth when Goku’s not there, and there’d be big trouble; in the original plot, I wrote Kuririn and No. 18′s wedding, but in the story that came back from Toriyama-sensei, it had changed to Bulma’s birthday party. I think, with regards to Kuririn and No. 18′s wedding, it’s probably something that he wants all the fans to imagine for themselves.''( http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2013/04/01/fl ... nslations/ )

I know this isn't the most important question but, who are the voice actors of the Kaioshins?

Wait. They were supposed to be married in this film?

Does this mean that...

I would love BoG outsold One Piece Film Z in th end and shut up the annoying fans.
But that seems like a dream. :roll:
Hope it reaches the 3 billion target at least
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

That...what? They had a child out of wedlock? Isn't that amazing. :D

And Toriyama goes out of his way to avoid writing 'romance', doesn't he?

To Chuquita: did you find anything interesting in those threads? Something we haven't seen or heard yet about BoG?

Wow, a story during the wedding of Krillin and 18? That's kinda... random. Unless it was to make Goku and Vegeta's absence make (slightly) more sense I guess :?

Its One Piece town now. Dragon Ball left 17 years ago.
