The only bad thing about #18 is that she can be a bit...robotic!
I'm sorry

You know what I'd love? Creating a (non erotic) comic about some of the DBZ cast meeting their genderbent counterparts. I have this idea of how but I'm not sure if it would work.

I'm sure that it would be freaky for them both, but then they would chill, spar for hours and then take turns on Bulma, but I am more interested in seeing his reaction to Femku. Let's be honest, Vegeta's obsession with Goku is...kind of intense... well now he can act on those urges he's been suppressing, and help create more full blooded Saiyans. Win/Win if you ask me.

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
