Is this Cyborg Tao or just a character that looks like him? If he is alive in age 1000 then it seems unlikely as only the good people were revived when Buu killed earth's population. Prehaps he appears in a time travel mission?

Looks like he received an upgrade, Freeza army style. God, that man just will not DIE will he?

Well, to be fair, that wasn't actually Taopaipai.

But I honestly think that this design might appear in the main timeline. And as for him being revived with all of the "Good people," who know? He might have had a breif change of heart. But that's more likely a case of Toriya- I mean the game designers forgetting about that.

Well, considering that 'armor fin' on the right hand image, and the somewhat Cyborg Freeza-ish redesign, mayhaps Tao was in space getting a new refit while Buu was rampaging on the Earth.

I just noticed that Taopaipai has two different symbols depending on the picture. Does anyone here know what they mean?

They're a little hard to make out (particulary the one on the left), but I think they're actually both 殺, "kill", the same kanji he wears in the series. It's just that the colors patterns are different.

Yeah, I know. I was just saying that the whole "Tao revenge" thing has been a bit overdone.

Prehaps he escaped Earth with his brother when he heard about Majin Buu and came back when he found out Buu was destroyed or possibly stayed on another planet and didn't leave until around age 1000.

Perhaps TaoPaipai was hired as a mercinary by the rimnents of Freeza's army? XD
Let's see, what other characters can we expect to maybe be alive by age 1000...
Well, if TaoPaipai's around (does this actually indicate that he's in age 1000 and not a timetravel mission?), Tsuru-Sen'nin is probably around as well. Uranai Baba... Umm...
There hasn't been any mention of the Kaio or the afterlife, has there?

There's actually a new area that's been announced that's in the same area as Baba's palace. And there hasn't been any mention of the afterlife so far, and though I hope it will eventually be added in, I doubt it will, especially considering the Kaioken is a skill you can gain by leveling up.

I'm just wondering why they have an avatar with both Pilaf and the new "Miira" bad guy.
OMG! Pale skin! Pointy ears! A HUGE PLOT TWIST IS COMING!

I don't suppose there's any information about what happens to Vegeta is there?
A lot of main characters have been given epilogues through DBO, but nothing new has appeared for him yet. :(

If he was hired by Frieza's remnants then his powerlevel must be considerably high now. Prehaps around 1,000? If his skill was needed by Frieza's army he could be near that of the Ginyu Force.

I also forgot to ask, in DBO is it possible to be a "bad guy?" Can you choose to work with RR army or against it (or who ever the evil villain is)?

Aw crud. I would've totally given Trunks the finger and cause all hell throughout time.

Ok, I saw those androids as well as the cyborg Tao and was pretty amused, but that picture of Piccolo and a time traveling Trunks standing guard over and aged Elder Muuri really widened my eyes. This game is going to be perpetually interesting.
