How could I forgotten this one? Yes this one was well made.

The mirrored ship material. It's a good set up for Freeza.

Kuririn and yamucha training in the other world. I'm aware that in the filler, they are overpowered but I still enjoyed it. :lol:
It is clear that sometime in Mark Satan's life, he acquired the dragon balls and called upon shenlong to grant him immortality.

I enjoy filler such as Goku's shenanagins on snakeway including but not limited to dropping into hell or when goku had encountered princess snake. Also the entire garlic junior saga, very interesting to me!

Blink and you'll miss the Kid Boo and Majin Vegeta fights. Filler up.

Vegeta's Flashback of The Last known Super Saiyan.
Also, speaking of the fight between goku and kid buu, I really like seeing the villains in hell watching goku fight buu. That should have been in there. And I also think that vegeta admitting goku is better than him during that fight was done better in the anime. I liked how they showed flashbacks with the buu saga artwork. It would have been cool if in the manga Akira Toriyama did that too, instead of just having one blob of text.
I agree. The scene with the ROSAT dimension with Trunks trying to comprehend it while watching his father become absorbed by it should have been in there. I don't recall if Goku training with ice is filler but that parallel with Vegeta training with fire is brilliant symbolism with daoism.

I'm surprised I didn't mention it before, but I think Pikkon should be retconed into a canon character and appear in the official series somewhere. Maybe have a story with recent DBZ related mythology tie into how he died. Killed by a god of destruction? Or anything in the related nature if not imperssonal.

Z-Fighters helping Gohan weakening Cell was nice. Glad it was left in kai, it made the Z-Senshi really look like a team and Cell more of a threat they needed to stop at all costs.

I also wish Goku's training in otherworld was retconed to make Goku's lifting cap more consistent with what he does throughout the show. 40 tons doesnt seem much for someone like Goku.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

If it makes you feel any better lol, pretty much every credible vs forum labels that feat as ridiculously inconsistent. IIRC Goku picking up Piccolo in the 23rd Budokai is a 116,000 lbs strength feat (not that lifting feats even matter in fights, especially since striking power feats are so common in DB)
Canon is Jaco, Dragon Ball except for EoZ, Dragon Ball Super anime and manga (both are separate canons)
