Good idea about the Vegeta episode. That idea has "Toei Filler" written all over it. And yes, I have to side with Alias on the Satan pose issue, they definitely are classic, especially with the cape and everything.

I would have had Krillin kill Frieza when he had the chance. After blinding him, why didn't he cut off his head?

Blegh! Totally anti-climactic! But yeah, I would have had Krillin hurl a couple hundred ki blasts to disorient him even more before running.

If Kuririn could have, I wouldn't want him to kill Freeza. Like Dayspring said, right? Totally anti-climactic.

To be fair, it's not just Freeza...that tactic should have worked on anyone. Blind them, and then...argh...I really don't want to say "Destructo Disc", but I can't remember the Japanese, although I do know it means circular energy disc, or something. "Kienzan", maybe?

Anyway, yeah. That move was never, ever blocked. And neith was (hnng) "Solar Flare". So blind them, and then chop them up. Simple. Never ever done, but simple.

Kienzan is right. I'm about 95% sure that's correct spelling, too.

Yes it is the correct spelling. Except now I can't remember if if there is a gap between the "i" and "e", like this, "ki-enzan". I don't think so though.

There's not really a gap between any of it. Though, it's made up of three different kanji, read ki, en, and zan, respectively. Some people like to add spaces and hyphens and capitalize certain letters, and various other crazy things for the kanji words. IE, it could end up as Ki En Zan, KiEnZan, Kien-zan, etc.

But I don't really see the point in any of that. It seems most sensible to just capitalize the first letter and write it all out like one proper noun. Tenshinhan, Makankousappou, Bakuretsumakouhou... Definitely sensible.

You're not impressing anyone with your knowledge of how to spell ridiculously complicated words, y'know.

I've just asked a mate if he has any idea who "TripleRach" is, and he had no idea. So I think you're lying there, Zachy boy.

And this isn't just some attempt to cover up the fact that I never realised that Rach = Rachael, and that I'd been pronouncing it in my head as "Triple - Rarch". Not at all.

Er, why would a girl want to be named after Hunter? He is an ugly, ugly man.

Actually when I first saw her name, I thought she was male and it was pronounced "Triple-Rarch" too Psy. But then I also thought Dayspring was female, so what do I know? :D

What?! Is Dayspring a female name? My friend gave it to me because she says "I look like a Dayspring". She refused to call me anything else so it eventually stuck.

The idea was not to impress anyone; I just tend to retain trivial knowledge, and then ramble on about it. :?

I bet I'll be tons of fun when I'm old and senile.

No, I don't know why Dayspring! Seriously, as embarassing as it is to admit, when I first saw the name, for some reason I thought feminine type word I have know idea why! Of course it could've had something to do with the drugs I was on that day. :P But you already forgave me Sensei! Remember?! :(
