Dragon Ball Online established that Pilaf had some Piccolo Daimao demon offspring in his lab, didn't it? Perhaps this new green Pilaf is a genetic experiment "son" Pilaf made. One that combines his own DNA with the demon Namekian monster.

Yeah. A fan theory about actual potential plot details is going way too far. I probably should have posted my 1000 word essay on Gohan's hair.

Or you can just notice that Mai and Shu are also young and it's possible they all wished for youth with the Dragonballs.

Wouldn't it be considered incest if it's same as Pilaf? I mean, they could be family blood related.

Maybe it's meant in like the Mickey and Minnie Mouse type of way? Or Pac Man and Mrs. Pac Man? Where the female design is just same as the male's only wearing traditionally feminine clothes/makeup?

It could be, but it could also not be. For all we know, there's an entire race of Pilaf's...sub-race of...humans...or whatever he is. But yeah, it'd only be incest if it was actually a family member. I meant that more like that he just found someone else out there like him.

Which is still only a theory, for all we know he did 'get it on' with a more normal looking human woman. What I find hilarious is the idea of him getting it on at all, considering how prudish he was, in the manga at least. :lol:

Dragon Ball Online established that Pilaf has a descendant named Paella. So he must have a son or a daughter.

Dragon Ball Online has no bearing on the Dragon Ball manga.

Dragon Ball Heroes has no bearing on the Dragon Ball anime.

These are just video game interpretations of a possible future in the Dragon Ball Universe.

Not to credit or discredit the possibility that Pilaf may have some children, or that one of them may even be in this movie, but I think this all begs the question of whether anyone at Toei, or even Toriyama for that matter, really cares about Dragon Ball Online or maintaining consistency with it.

Anyway, has this poster's legitimacy been confirmed debunked yet? I'm kind of hoping it's real, because that's a really unexpected villain design, but I have this impression for no solid reason that it's someone's fan art. That, and the "Kami to Kami" title seems really fake/not at all in the vein of Dragon Ball's usual titles.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Have you read the backstory or the timeline of DBO? Have you play the game? Have you even seen anything about the game? Do you know its story? Do you know what the hell DBO is? If not, don't even talk about it. Don't even compare DBO to DBH.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

It's just a video game. Not even released in Japan.

Could Pilaf make his own creations just from seeds like the Saibaiman?

I can see where he is coming from though. AT did a lot of art work for the game, but there is no proof that he had anything to do with the writing for the story from what I can remember.

Yeah, Trunks' SSJ hair in this poster does look more like his loose, long haired variant. Come to think of it, has there ever been any picture of kid Trunks with his hair grown out, fan art speaking that is?

I think that Vegeta figure has the potential to become a meme if it falls into the right/wrong hands.
