Still a plot hole as Saiyan Tails were supposed to be for Oozaru transformations until SSJ comes along so you don't have the tail weakness.TheGmGoken wrote:

Tails are inferior from a stand alone perspective. Combining something already powerful with something that is much stronger will only yield an increase.

Point is. I don't think a tail is powerful. Besides ape it has no benefits at all.

Tails stopped growing back because they were no longer needed and were a hindrance as it's easy to cut off. Having them magically become important contradicts the point of why they went away.TheMightyOzaru wrote:Tails are inferior from a stand alone perspective.

Wait I have a question. In matter of fact it's an issue. Say Raditz somehow turns SSJ4. Since Raditz didn't train his tail does that mean when you pull it would it affect him or revert him?dbzfan7 wrote:Tails stopped growing back because they were no longer needed and were a hindrance as it's easy to cut off.

Edit: answer this on another topic.

It would be a plot-hole if they had naturally grown back, and they didn't. Goku got it back by forcibly drawing it out, and Vegeta got it back temporarily by getting an unnatural dose of Bruits Waves from an artificial device. Golden Oozaru & Super Saiyan 4 are much stronger than Super Saiyan 3, of course it must be hard to get them. Normally, the Super Saiyan's should be careful not to lose their tails, so that they can turn Golden Oozaru & Super Saiyan 4 when they are strong enough. But if they lose the tail, they lose the chance to get this incredible power forever. At least normally...dbzfan7 wrote:Tails stopped growing back because they were no longer needed and were a hindrance as it's easy to cut off.

Besides, it's a contradiction about what Toriyama said about the manga. GT follows the anime, not the manga.

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

There's no official release date yet. Any date with December 31st or March 31st is just a place holder date.

It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.
Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

By the way, who are the four of them fighting in the screenshot I posted? Their names are at the right side of the screen but I don't know Japanese so... can somebody tell me who they are?
EDIT: Nevermind, just found out it's Nappa and Vegeta.
