Yeah.... Either that or he's mocking it.

And how did you come to that conclution???

Lol. First of all, it's conclusion. Second of all, I hate GT haters. Period. Anyone who makes even slight negative about GT is going to be punished severely.

I absolutely and deeply hate GT.

C'mon. Punish me.

Are you sure you want to go there?

You appear to be an idiot.

There’s Something About Nappa. The Mystery of Nappa Revealed ?!?

As you all know, when we first see Nappa in the DBZ series, he’s bald. However, when he was shown in a flashback in the anime as well as in the Bardock Special, he had hair. According to Vegeta, a Saiyan does not change their hairstyle from birth (GT non-withstanding).

Now since this is only anime canon (he was never shown with hair in the manga), I’ve come up with a possible in story explanation for Nappa’s baldness:

Nappa’s daddy (or mommy) got some alien strange, which in turn produced a Half-Saiyan Nappa. This may explain the reason it was talked about that Half-Saiyans (such as Gohan) having so much power (Can’t remember where this came from but I know it was discussed in the past).

Now I’m not saying that Nappa was as strong as Gohan was as a child. I’m just theorizing that if he was a Half-Saiyan, his power level may have been higher at birth. This kept him from being classified as a low level Saiyan. It may also explain why he is with Vegeta (part of the royal court per se) prior to their planet’s explosion (Raditz being weaker most likely joined them after planet Vegeta’s destruction since they were the only ones left).

Now you could argue that Vegeta only said their hair doesn’t grow. He says nothing about them going bald. So let’s look at that:

(Vegeta: In the manga) “Pure-blooded Saiyans have thankfully been spared the grotesquery of “hair growth.”

Now while he does specifically mention hair growth only, there still is the possibility that they would view baldness equally as grotesque. So as far as the manga goes, it’s possible that Saiyan’s may naturally go bald . But what about the anime?

(Vegeta: In JP Sub)The hair of a pure Saiyan does not undergo any weird changes from the time they’re born.

For humans (and Half-Saiyans), hair growth is a natural process. According to Vegeta, for “pure” Saiyans, hair growth is a “weird change”. So it would stand to reason that baldness (which is a normal human natural process) would be equally as weird. Again this is debatable, but I for one am leaning towards Vegeta meaning if a pure Saiyan is born with a certain hairstyle, they keep that hairstyle.

(Vegeta: In ENG Dub) For your information a pure Saiyan’s hair does not change from the day that he is born.

Although the dub means $h1t among many DBZ fans, this translation pretty much matches the subtitles. The only difference is that Vegeta clearly states that whatever hairstyle a “pure” Saiyan is born with, they keep.

Other possibilities that deserve honorable mention:

• Nappa was born bald. His parents not wanting to suffer the humiliation of this, put a toupee on him. As he got older, he continued with the charade until Freeza blew up planet Vegeta. At that point there was no reason to hide his shameful secret, so he ditched the toupee.

• He looked in the mirror one morning and got pissed because he didn’t have big poufy hair like the other Saiyans. So he started shaving it.

Your thoughts?

Why does everyone keep talking negative about GT? GT is really good. Look down on me if you must. I dont care. Vegeta's hair in GT was changed because of haircut. Get it?!! HAIRCUT! Nothing's wrong with having Vegeta's hair being cut. Even in DBZ, Nappa's hair went bald. So think twice before you say something. If you have anything against GT, dont say here. Think badly about GT in your mind is fine. Not here. Toriyama was appreciative of everyone working hard to make GT a part of DB franchise. I am sure you don't have any better idea of what to make a better story for GT.

I think you need to accept that people will always have different opinions than you. There is no reason to blast them for it, and you shouldn't try to force your own opinions on other people just because you disagree with them.

Yes, people will look down on you. Not because you like GT. Because you verbally abused someone for whatever their opinion may be - and the fact that you made yourself look dumb by misinterpreting a comment of theirs. Everyone on this forum has the right to post their opinions on topics, whether you like it or not. Only the forum administrator has the right to say whether or not a post is approved.

Lol. First of all, it's conclusion.

Thank you for correcting me. I realized my error after I posted, but taking into account that some people go for full paragraphs with the, thier (instead of there) etc. I thought that one would slip by. And to be clear, I'm not mocking anyone, we all make mistakes. Also considering Mike has rarely(if ever) corrected my grammer, I think I'm doing good so far.

Second of all, I hate GT haters. Period. Anyone who makes even slight negative about GT is going to be punished severely.

Again, how did you come to that conclusion (see I learned. Yay Me!!)??? Also I said nothing negative about GT. What I said was GT non-withstanding (as in excluding). Are you telling me you saw the words GT and my avatar in a Nappa post and said "That's it!! I'm tired of these mother****ing GT haters in this mother****ing forum!!??

All kidding aside, I did research on some of your previous posts. You seem to come off in most cases as a reasonable person/poster. So why did you pick me to rant on when you had your pick of many people in the GT:Why Hate discussion in which you posted in?

Chill out, dude. You have been punk'd No worries. Do you actually think I'm going to be able to punish the haters severely? Come on.

I'm beginning to think that Olivier was onto something...
