...not really. Vegeta saves the day more often, gets many more solo victories (at least 6 vs at max 4), and is just as involved in Cell and Buu's defeats as Goku is.DBZAOTA482 wrote:Goku.

But most of those solo victories were from little minions, and Vegeta's punished more often for his bad decisions than Goku is even for doing the same thing.RandomGuy96 wrote:...not really.

But I think Gohan does more than either of them, and for extra points never causes any of the villains.

Yes, Cui, Appule, Dodoria, Zarbon, 19, and Pui-Pui are all insignificant small fry.RandomGuy96 wrote:"Little minions"? I think Cui/Dodoria/Zarbon/19/etc. have more plot relevance than anyone Goku beat alone except Nappa. Goku only beat Nappa, Recoome, Burter, and Yakon. Vegeta got Cui. Appule, Dodoria, Zarbon, Jeice, 19, Pui Pui... and those are just solo kills. Gohan has the best solo victory count in Z, but people usually don't care because despite being really powerful and at least as relevant in the grand scheme as most of Freeza's henchmen, if not more so, the Cell Juniors only were around for 5 minutes and didn't have unique names or designs.
I'll give Dodoria, and Zarbon but Cui and Appule where pretty insignificant, and #19 and Jeice could have been beaten by Goku himself.RandomGuy96 wrote:"Little minions"?

I'll give you Buu, but not Cell. Sure, Vegeta had a part in distracting him but without Goku's guidance, reassurance, and training, Gohan wouldn't have defeated Cell....not really. Vegeta saves the day more often, gets many more solo victories (at least 6 vs at max 4), and is just as involved in Cell and Buu's defeats as Goku is.
First, no, that's not what I'm saying. Second, I would never be so crass. And finally, my issue wasn't her settling down.So basically you're saying:
Settling down to raise family = "OMG fighting is for fags"?
Here you are calling a fictional character is irrational but what you're saying isn't making a lick of sense.
Tuxedo Mask is the only good character in this terrible animeKid Buu wrote:Yamcha is a good singer too!
every cartoon has its formulas.damn wrote:Tuxedo Mask is the only good character in this terrible animeKid Buu wrote:Yamcha is a good singer too!
The Sailor Scouts are so useless...especially Sailor Moon
He always has to throw one of his roses to save them lol...I always had to watch Sailor Moon cuz they showed DBZ after it lol
Every episode was the same lol...Sailor Scouts meet new person,new person turns out to be monster in disguise...Sailor Scouts transform for 10 minutes,Sailor Scouts get their ass handed to them,Tuxedo Mask or the White Version of him(can't remember the name) throws a flower at the villain,Sailor Moon does the Final Attack which takes 1 minute to charge up and finishes the villain
How can people like this crap?

80s cartoons were pretty darn repetitive.damn wrote:But none as repetitive as Sailor Moonevery cartoon has its formulas.
I suppose if the characters were actually good and interesting(like for example another Shojo called "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne" comes to mind or Detective Conan(Case Closed)) I wouldn't mind but all of the characters in Sailor Moon are just boring...so yeah
