I would say Goten and Trunks can get a little annoying, but that's really only in the Japanese version. Not to upset any dub fans, but the English version of Goten and Trunks I couldn't stand. The voice actors weren't trying, they just didn't have the right tones. Now that's just my opinion, so don't get upset ok?

If we were talking about the manga, I couldn't say since I haven't read the DBZ part.
Eh, both versions of the characters freakin' annoy me. Come to think of it, they also kinda ruin the saga for me when they're fighting Buu inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. I mean, is all that joking around in trying to defeat Super Buu really all that necessary?
Perhaps I'm coming off as the type of fan who only likes and focuses on the fighting portion of the Z-series, but that's not the case. It's just that...I don't find kids trying to be funny all that interesting.

Where would the "M" go? Think about it.

According to Toriyama, Vegeta was not originally supposed to go Majin in the Buu Saga. As a matter of fact, Piccolo was originally meant to fall under Babidi's spell. However, his editor told him that Vegeta would have been a better choice, as the fans were still awaiting the long waited rematch between Goku and Vegeta.

Babidi: You are now my slave.
Tenshinan: ARGH MY EYE!!!
Babidi: -_-

Well, for one thing, it's taken straight from DB Wikia...
word for word. So as can be expected, there's absolutely no source for it, or any validity.
Rule #1: Don't trust 90% of what you read in the trivia sections on any page of DB Wikia.
Rule #2: If you do read them, don't repeat them anywhere, because they're wrong.
Rule #3: Definitely
do not copy and paste something from DB Wikia as if you wrote it yourself, because he will look like a fool.
Rule #4: Pretend I said 100% in Rule #1.
And I just have to say, I knew he didn't write it because it was written properly. Just sayin'.

How could you find out?

but you wrong! I did copy it "word by word" because I edit a part of the sentence, the "Goku VS Vegeta" part supposed to be "Vegeta VS Goku"

I wonder why ChiChi never slammed the books on Goten like she did Gohan?
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

because he's the youngest son in the family, that's why I think a mother doesn't want to hurt him for some reason
But IDK

Probably because Goten was really stupid.

Maybe Majin Lunch would work.
After all, she is the original Super Saiyan.

I just assumed that after Goku's death, Chi-Chi realized that the world needs heroes and...well, it's in the anime Boo Arc, after Goten tells Gohan that Chi-Chi's been training him, and Gohan thinks about how Chi-Chi's changed. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Kid Buu wrote:Is it ever stated that Goku/Vegeta being SSj when Goten and Trunks were conceived gave them a power up? Not that I doubt you, I don't even remember hearing that in the series.
I don't remember the source, but I recall Toriyama messing up how recessive genes work and saying that was the cause for them not being born with tails. From there, he explains Saiyans born without tails are ridiculously strong and can therefore become SSJ at earlier ages.
