Why does Tenshinhan never get any filler episodes?

I think he deserves it. He's been an integral part of the cast since Dragon Ball's early days.

[ekrolo2]

He's got the personality of a brick.

What's to like about him again? The entertainment I get from watching him is the equivalent of watching paint dry.

I don't know what people find entertaining maybe being a coward and weak people like. I bet half of the people with the Tenshinhan has no personality has never watched the original dragonball. So many great building and friendship and leadership moments for him. Be a real fan and stop relying on just Z.

Personality wise Tien's best moments were in Dragonball and the Saiyan saga.

That's the award goten has, tien at least showed what he is made of or what his personality should have been in db

Tenshinhan is a fantastic character. He was the first stoic type rival the Goku ever had. The reason he's so neglected is because of the way Toriyama wrote him out of the story. He basically made it so Tenshinhan wouldn't really associate himself with any of the cast members unless there was a big reason to. The only time you see him acting chummy with the gang after the Cell arc was at Bulma's birthday party in Battle of Gods. He's also probably not very popular with kids because of his personality. I'm guessing Toei just did not want to make filler episodes with a character that was not very popular. It would also be hard to write stand alone episodes for Tenshinhan because of his lonely nature. It wouldn't feel quite right for Dragon Ball.

Yamcha, on the other hand, can be farmed for comedy. He's basically a meme in-universe now, sadly.

Chumminess was also spotted when he was apparently invited to the U6-U7 tournament.

In what way? Really asking. I just remember him sitting without much dialogue.

[sintzu]

It's probably because watching Tien is about as interesting as watching glue dry.

It's like Akyon said, there's not that much you can do with him.

Oh, that's all. Same as the BoG party. But that's a lot after his "we'll probably never meet again" parting.

Read some of my comments Allot to be explored which is what is coming up episode 89. His a teacher and has his own dojo. Do you know he's Nomadic which means he's had tons of adventures. He's a famer and charges to help other in their farms. Choutzu and himore have made a good living off that. Did you know that? Did you know Yamcha and Lunch visits him. Sounds interesting to me. Him discovering his Alien roots. Maybe running into Shen or General Tao again.

I guess this weeks ep proved why it's kind of hard to shown Tenshinhan in his "downtime" because even then he's still training and running a martial arts school.

I'm interested in hearing Julian's thoughts on this weeks episode.

Honestly the premise was pretty good, but the execution was horrific and honestly poor Tien had the worst treatment of any participant to date.

Cant express my disgust enough. The writers of this episode had no sense of lore or realism. Maybe episode 90 will redeem things.

As far as proper power scaling we need to wait until the tournament. Which is what Akira has outlined. Not all these terribly written ass pulls of recruitment episodes.
