And since we are arguing now, I guess we are at war, huh? After all, we are arming ourselves with various definitions and arguments.

Use some common sense when throwing out definitions, please.
Yep, we're soldiers and we're at war right now. It follows the definitions, so yeah.

It does not follow the definition at all. None of us are representatives of a nation or other governmental body. Neither are the characters engaged in fighting in Dragon Ball. They are not soldiers. We are not soldiers. They don't engage in wars. This is not a war.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

I already posted the definitions, and it matched.

No. It does not match. At all. That's completely outside of the definitions you posted in every single way. A group of a dozen people does not constitute a large group. As I've already said, they are not representatives of a nation or government. The very definitions you posted do nothing but refute your point.

No they don't. An army is a large group of people organized for a specific cause. That's what the Z Fighters are. The members in that are soldiers, as the definition of a soldier is one who serves in an army or an active follower of an organization. The fights in the series are wars because they are a state of armed conflict between different groups within a nation

Just drop it. For the better. Trust me. The "war" with a guy I can not name no more due to incidents(it/he should't even mention my name either) is not worth it. Not at all.

I call the series "Dragon Testicle A", it's a much cooler sounding name. I also don't like Goku, and so call the protagonist "John Fightmaster", a more fitting and better name. His wife is Boobs. And his rival turned ally (well, the fifth one) is Turnip.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

If you watch Abridged, his name is punned off of Butterfinger.

Wow, first post in this thread that I can truly see myself using. It just makes so much sense! John Fightmaster and Boobs are such a class act and oh man, that Turnip fellow, when will he learn he's just never going be as good as ol' Johnny F-Mazz.

I think John Fightmaster sounds pretty cool. I wonder if everyone had Americanized names:

-Goku: Jackie
-Vegeta: Jaden
-Gohan: Jackie Jr
-Chi-Chi: Lisa
-Piccolo: Peter
-Krillin: Chuck

I've always imagined Krllin's Western/4kids name as "Penut".

Mine wasn't, but the other guy's probably was.

This seems to be trolling, as I already proven to you my reasoning behind my names, which we both came to an understanding about. Enough derailing please.
