Yes, but Gero's not red. I just though they were playing with the colors.

That neither Tenshinhan nor Yamcha were ever revived by Shenlong, instead Porunga revived them both of the times.

I just realised that Shigeru Chiba voices the first villains of all three anime series: Pilaf in Dragon Ball, Raditz in Z, and Pilaf again in GT.

In the GT thread Rocketman was talking about how much he didn't like Goku. I was thinking how hard it must be to watch a TV show and not like the main character. After reflecting for awhile I realized just how often Goku is out of commission in Z. He has incredibly long periods where he can't do anything but sit back and watch the battle in every saga. (Of course Gohan is prominent in every saga so I guess Rocketman just can't escape characters he hates. :lol: )

I also realized how much I dislike the majority of the Z movies but that's not really a fact or anything.

I don't know if anyone else realized this but, three of the characters on the American cover art for Ultimate Battle 22 aren't even playable!

Doesn't Gotenks go SS3 for one of the moves that he does? I guess that would kind of count... :lol:

I believe Gotenks goes SSJ3 as part of his meteo attack but yeah Ultimate Gohan and Kid Boo aren't in the game.

GT Goku is a worse character than Naruto.

As much as it pains me, it's true...! Well, the current Naruto. Not the old "Believe It" one.

Yeah GT Goku was a failed attempt at combining db Kid Goku with dbz Goku.
It just doesn't work because he is too serious at times and then too retarded at other times.

To be fair, Naruto got smarter and more aware of what's around him. He's no longer a complete retard like his younger self.

In DBZ movie 8, Chichi teaches Goku the three words "Friendship, Effort, Victory". If I'm not mistaken, that's a Shonen Jump slogan since it was also in Jump Ultimate Stars.

Gohan's headband flies off when he's smacked around by Nappa. You can visibly see it fly away in the anime. I must have watched the Saiyan arc like 3 times and I never noticed that.

Woah! I must be the most unobservant person on planet Earth to have never seen that before. Maybe I should stop speed reading through those action scenes! :lol:

DBGT funi dub is worse than Seasons 1-3 DBZ Funi Dub.

Chris Sabat is underrated.

Chichi is funny when she gets mad.

Colleen Clinkenbeard would be fit in vocing Naruto, not Gohan, plus its hilarious when she screams, like she is about get raped. :mrgreen:
