lol, yeah I remember that issue. The editor makes a smart-assed comment about how a evil mass murderer became the favourite DBZ character...isn't it the truth though?

You know what? It's probably all those crazy fangirls that always go for the dangerous guy. Fangirl-"Vegita's so cool! No he's not bad, you just don't understand him deep down! I love his bad attitude, it's better than Goku whose a goody-goody! Why do they have to have so many scenes of Goku? It takes away time from Vegita-sama! Oh, ya and Bulma's a tramp and a b**ch!" Ah yes, I've met some really crazy ones in my time as you can see. :shock:

Ya, Buruma's a lot more forgiving than I would be. I know Vegita comes full circle in the end, but at the time Buruma got with him, he hadn't changed much. I mean, okay maybe you might feel some attraction to the guy, but as you said Dayspring, he's committed genocide who knows how many times on a grand scale. He beat Gohan, a kid till he was black and blue right in front of you. Geez! Would you want to go with someone who beats kids? Even if the particular one was as strong as you is beside the point.

Yeah, but Gohan was back on his feet within moments, without a mark...he's a tough little kid. :D

Hooraay for Vegita!!! I'm glad Goku got second. He's not my favorite character but hey, it's Goku! Oh and up Trunks a little.

Hey, as a fan-girl, I must say that I have never felt attracted to Vegita in the *slightest.* Now... Goten on the other hand... :3
