Characters that never interact

Post by Kid Buu » Sat May 24, 2014 5:46 am

It's been noted a few times that Goku never interacts with Chaozu in the manga, but what about the others?

Piccolo and Yamcha never seem to interact. They do in the anime however, including having a sparring battle on Kaio's planet.

Also try to keep it to somewhat main characters, nothing like "Bulma's mother never interacts with Appule" :crazy:

Tenshinhan only speaks with Gohan during Boo saga

They spoke when they gathered for Freeza's reappearance. Tenshinhan asked Yamcha how he puts up with Vegeta.

A common one that pops up is 17 mentioning how it's been a while since he heard Goku's voice, but they never actually met.
Usually goes by "Kevtrev" elsewhere online.
Draws comics that may or may not have been blatantly inspired by Akira Toriyama's manga.

Gohan tried to at least ask if Tenshinhan was OK during the Saiya-jin battle... Tenshinhan returned the favor helping him... only took him 4 some-odd years.

Oh, also, he spoke to Gohan on the Lookout after Cell's defeat, telling him to take care of his mother and such.

And then there's the Buu saga, of course.

Oh, let's see...

Tenshinhan and Chi-chi. And Goten. And Present Trunks. Or Bulma.

Goten and Bulma don't directly interact as far as I know. Unless it's via Gotenks

Vegeta and Gotenks never interact (Illusions obviously don't count)

Muten Roshi and Vegeta.

Kami-sama and Vegeta, or Chichi, or Gohan.

It's possible 17 could remember what Cell did before he blew up.

Yajirobe interacts with Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga, but never again after it, thus depriving us of a potentially very interesting scene (prideful Vegeta interacting with the guy who "defeated" him, who happens to be a huge coward).

Even Toei knew better than to punish us all with any real appearances by Yajirobe after Toriyama dropped him like a bad habit.

Chiaotzu and Yajirobe never so much as lay eyes on Freeza, Cell, or Buu.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

So I guess I'm the only one who likes Yajirobe? :(

Anyway Oolong and Gohan have never spoke have they?

Vegeta and Gotenks is actually one I'd love to see. Gotenks is like a good version of Kid Vegeta. Their hairstyle is even the same right down to the receding hairline.

Roshi interacts with Vegeta in the filler where they talk about the past Tournaments.

In the actual series? Not that I can recall. But they did spend time together in the movies, movie 2 in particular.

Not any more than Blooma or anyone else who wasn't Trunks did.

Also, Cold didn't interact with anyone except Freeza and Trunks.
