Thank you! Ehh, not that I can really recall, but it's something I've always had in the back of my mind to do, especially since there is at least one arc (maybe two) that had a TV version I would actually rate higher than the manga version, while others are bogged down. I find it interesting how a slightly different interpretation can affect my feelings of a story. But like I said, nothing big. Just as an example, I have eight Red Ribbon videos. As a companion piece, I'd do one Red Ribbon Anime video, ignoring all of the main storyline stuff (since I've already covered it) and just pointed out significant filler stories added or major deviations or just anything that caught my interest, particularly if those things actually address or alter something I had previously mentioned I liked or didn't like about the original story.

I don't plan on going over them specifically, but, especially in light of some of this new stuff, I'm trying to think of how/if to incorporate such things. If you recall, for example, I did take a moment out of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai arc to speak on my feelings about the Daizenshuu's claim of Tenshinhan's alien heritage. So future instances will probably be handled like that, whenever I feel a particular need to bitch about something. :lol:

I've been re-reading the Daimao arc, and do you guys think that Master Roshi and Kuririn should have stayed dead in this arc? I think it would have been a great swan song if Roshi did, and Krillin would have provided a great "loss" for this arc. I've always hated they way they brought back Shenron so easily too. They could have done something like it took Kami a while to make a new set, and then when they get the DB's back they can't bring back Krillin because.....you can't resurrect someone if they've been dead for more than a year. That works for me.

Does Yamcha ever interact with Lunch in the anime?
Who were they in gundam?
Yamcha was Amuro Ray.
Tenshinhan was Bright Noa.
Piccolo was Kei Shiden.
Lunch was Kycilia Zabi.

Someone sent me a private message about the marriage, so here is a source for it.

I knew Tenshinhan was manly but he was Bright "I slap manhood into you" Noa too? Woah

I would've dug Roshi dying but not krillin, too grim for me personally

Yup. Tenshinhan defeating Yamcha is basically Bright Noa defeating Amuro Ray, and more than just a slap!

Yeah another alternate was just Master Roshi stayed dead. Have him refuse resurrection like Goku did in the Cell Arc.

Ahh, I get it, that sounds a little more manageable; while pure filler adds up overall, covering it alone probably would not take so long, particularly in the pre-Z half.

DBD: The Piccolo Daimao Arc Part 3!

The Muten Roshi dies! Chaozu dies! Shen Long dies! Someone wins a 2-disc DVD set! Goku kinda dies, but then he doesn't because of... reasons! Yeah, reasons!

Great job as always, it was really fun to watch, too bad you missed that Yajirobe joke, when he thought about eating Goku (He quickly dismiss it, because he isn`t tasty, but still) and yes, that would be clever idea for Roshi, to somehow make Piccolo swallow balls, but, Toriyama probably had that God/Piccolo connection in mind already. Kinda sad, that it is a last moment for Roshi to shine, but you are right, his arc is finish, and he passed torch to youth, and Chaozu become useless very quickly. Loved Tenshinhan repelent batspray :)

Honestly don't see the RRA similarity. I also have to say that Goku being alive and healed can be explained. It's happen to War people, Injuries, and other stuff. Its when your heart skip a beat or your heart for a short while legit stop beating. It happens. Mostly from shock(shocking moments or injury). That's wasn't an ass pull. King Piccolo arc is awesome. Piccolo is the 3rd maybe 2nd best villain. Chazou is useless lol. Can't believe you didn't cover the Eat Goku joke.

On the Pilaf Arc filler, you can watch the sub for free on Hulu. Alternatively, there is someone on the forum who loves that arc and is knowledgable on the anime version of that.

I thought it was odd that Yajirobe noticed who Piccolo was but Yamcha and the other didn't.

Also, I hate the scene where Master Roshi defeats Tenshinhan with the spray. It just makes Tenshinhan look weak, especially since he's losing to a character who admitted that Ten was better than him in the previous arc. Not a big fan of Chaozu's moment here either. Tenshinhan comes across as a dick here, forcing his pal to participate in such a dangerous situation. Such a shame Chazou got wasted too. He started off as a decent rival to Kuririn, but ended up as the Tenshinhan equivalent of Puar.

Do you think Master Roshi should have stayed dead given that it was basically his swan song moment?

(Off topic, but I finish college on Thursday, so we should resume our discussion sometime after that).

Back when Old School Toonami aired The King Piccolo arc of Dragonball, I thought Chaozu's death was so cool. It was more interesting to see than Nappa's Bloody Sunday.-Uh OH, SELF DEST-Oh never mind.

If Shenlong or God had said that Roshi couldn't be brought back because he'd expended his life-force so it was the same as having died of natural causes, rather than injury, I'd have bought that. If he was going to remain dead, the whole "wandering unhappy souls" thing would have to go, though.

Killing Daimao could have had the effect of allowing those souls to move on. In fact this might've already been the case, I'm not sure.

That wasn't said. In fact, the whole "killed by a demon" thing never got mentioned until after Piccolo was dead. It was when Goku was trying to find a way to revive them, and it was probably intended to just add more weight to the situation.

Oh, haha. Clearly that wasn't the case then.

But speaking hypothetically it could be, and would solve that problem of Roshi staying dead.

I don't have any problem with him coming back either. Roshi can stay alive and still have the others take over, unlike say Goku in the Cell arc who would be too involved if he stayed alive (and ends up becoming way too involved after being revived).

Actually, I prefer Roshi coming back for his role in the 23rd Budokai.

He killed himself.:P

Because of a demon. Same type of deal as Guru dying because of Freeza.

Oh right, like how Vegeta is the one who murdered Tenshinhan. Well it's your comic Toriyama. :roll:

Also Gaffer Tape I'm surprised you haven't mentioned that Yajirobe's personality seems to be a lot like best character Oolongs.
