Yes, he called Tien one of his favorites, along with Piccolo, Goku, Mr. Satan, and Jaco recently.Michsi wrote:
He does? I can't ever remember him mentioning Tien as a favorite while Piccolo has been mentioned several times. Regardless, I really doubt that matters much as well, but it might count a little.
My point is that there is a big difference between a character that didn't even get one episode and was just there for laughs and being important , and that range is big enough to place the namekians somewhere well away from the Dr. Rota end of the spectrum.
Wait, when you say "joke" do you mean like "weak and easily/early defeated?" Because I mean literal joke when I refer to Dr. Rota.It would be Toriyama. He gave us U10 that ended up being a joke universe outside of two people despite the villain of the last arc coming from there.
Again, we didn’t know Rota was a joke until it happened. Before then, people took him somewhat seriously since he was part of U6.
U10 was set up as a joke from their introduction with the protein shakes.
