Why didn't Gohan beat the crap out of Vegeta

[Lord Beerus]

I think his account was hacked.

I hope so. He's posting some pretty stupid/annoying stuff.

Your mom's stupid

Yep. Looks like Careless Saiyajin's account has been hacked. Just like what happened to Suupaa Gohan 2.

Death in DBZ isn't ceasing to exist like in the real world, it's more like just moving really far away. Gohan knows Goku is off training with King Kai, having the time of his (after)life, and that if he remains good and strong they'll see each other again some day. Of course he'll miss his father, but grieving someone in DBZ can't be anything like in reality.

He's really living up to his username, huh?

Yeah, it seems so. Someone joined last night and started spamming porn all over (I seem to recall someone else going crazy and getting themselves suicided by mods this way a few months ago), and he joined in, and started insulting everybody. The spammer was banned quickly, but Careless' posts were simply deleted, so I assume he was just hacked.

In the real world, death isn't ceasing to exist.

Well your consciousness ceases to exist.

No it doesn't.

[Fionordequester]

Well, there's definitely some debate over that. I personally believe that Heaven exists, but, I have a feeling something like that wouldn't be resolvable inside this thread.

[Zenkai]

I know this thread isn't for discussing the afterlife, but if an atheist throws a jab at religion, I will respond to it.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Well I'm just saying that there's no rational reason to believe that consciousness, which is an emergent property of organized matter and energy, would somehow remain intact without any medium.

Let's stop this now before you guys embarrass yourselves.

[The Tori-bot]

Let's stop this now before you guys embarrass yourselves.

Yup. It's not like the perpetual question of consciousness after death will be resolved by a couple of guys on a DBZ forum saying "Yuh-huh" and "Nuh-uh" back and forth at each other.

Though somehow it's still a more worthwhile discussion than the actual topic.

[rereboy]

No it doesn't.

Nobody knows and nobody alive will ever know. People can believe something but they will never actually know. So, live and let live and lets not bother to waste time in discussing an unknowable subject that only serves to create tension and conflict between living men.

You see this is why your names will be forgotten in history books. You think so low of yourself.

[Man-Child]

There was never a good time for Gohan to kick Vegeta's ass.

He was too weak during the Saiyan saga (though he did land a few hits in his Oozaru form), too weak in the Namek saga (plus he neeeded Vegeta's help just to survive freaking Guldo), too weak after getting back to earth (though if you count the filler fight, Piccolo could have easily helped), too weak at the start of the Android saga (the only non-super saiyan), and by the end of the Cell saga, Vegeta wasnt a threat to anybody.

Outside of petty revenge, which the character wouldnt involve himself in, there was never really a good opportunity.

[soulnova]

Gohan is just a really nice guy.

This makes me wonder why Vegeta never decided to pulverize 18 for kicks after he got his Super Vegeta form. He seems the type that would beat up 18 in front of Krillin and Marron and enjoy it.

"I have come back, stronger than ever. You broke my arm. You are garbage to me know, so instead I'll let Cell absorb you and have a good challenge. Whoops! Kakarot is dead, now my son has a whole in his chest (and dead) and Gohan got his arm wounded to protect me and we are all about to die. What. The. Hell."



I think he would grunt saying they are even and walk away.

[Fionordequester]

Really, putting aside that Gohan is not that kind of person, it would definitely not be a psychologically healthy thing to do. By doing something like that, you're essentially teaching yourself to derive pleasure from someone else's pain AND also desensitizing yourself to the idea of hurting someone who can't even fight back. And believe me, that WILL carry over into your psyche whether you think you can compartmentalize it or not. Heck, that's why when we talk about whether or not to have capital punishment, we call it "life imprisonment vs. death sentence", and not "life imprisonment vs. sadistic torture".

Because even with people like Ted Bundy, it's better to just kill them and get it over with instead of dragging it out, and giving them the chance to retaliate (and Vegeta WOULD retaliate, probably in very nasty ways). That's just the better thing to do both from a practical standpoint AND a mental standpoint.

And even putting aside all of that...we have to remember, Gohan DID indulge in torture, against Cell. And guess what? He lost his dad because of it! Is he really going to be so quick to make that EXACT same mistake again, so soon after the first time?

[ParkerAL]

Jeez, this whole thread is pretty much an eyesore from start to finish.

[Alex9196]

he couldnt have done that for long. if he beats him up everyday, vegeta would eventually be way stronger than him because of zenkai boosts.

[Vice]

It was far more Gohan's fault than it was Vegeta's.
