It matters because Mt. Paozu was where Son Goku grew up in the anime. But where does it say that "Live Action Goku" doesn't grow up on Paozu in the movie? Either way, a city being named after a mountain isn't a big issue.

At least they used "Paozu" and not some made-for-the-movie name that would have boiled our blood some more. :lol:

Emi and Teto. Brand new 'original' characters stuffed into the film needlessly. From what I remember, Teto is Goku's best friend(?). In other words, sloppy props used to develop Goku's character slightly.

Aren't they only in like 1 or 2 small scenes?

That is such bull. Weaver (not Teto) has 1 line in the entire movie and he's not Goku's friend.

He's an extra, more or less.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

I was only basing my response upon hints and facts stemmed from the early leaks of devlopment concerning this film.

Every movie has characters that have 1 or 2 lines. It's filler.

I'm fully aware of that. However, I was under the impression that the two characters had a little bit more to do with 'Chatku', resulting in high blood pressure.

Well, not all of us have "holy texts" to check our facts on. :roll:

Mabye he'll end up a major character in the final movie ;P

If he has one line, why even bother giving him a name?

Yeah, they are. Wouldn't it be boring to only see the regular Dragonball characters in this movie and no one else? I think that any "new" characters in the Dragonball series are welcome, in my book. You guys accepted Gure and Tar-bitch...I mean Tarble as useful characters even though each did nothing(Just like Teto/Weaver and Emi will be doing) so why don't you accept these two?

And while you say "liek OMG, OC time" with Teto/Weaver and Emi, shouldn't you have said "Aw, Hell Naw, Baby-Daddy Time" when Tarble(Forgotten child) appeared? :lol:

This is his line in the bible (paraphrased):

A solar eclipse is caused by the moon blocking the sun.

Unless they added a ton of lines for him in a later bible, that's it.

I know he had no way of knowing, but to make comparisons to "The O.C." is just ridiculous.

Holy Text, Bible, the Script.

I think he's inferring that he really likes the script.

WRONG!!!(Superman Returns reference) He was referring to the only lines that Teto/Weaver had.

The highschool segment of the film is ridiculous.
