You will.

On the contrary, let's just not think about that. ^__^;

In addition, does this take place in main continuity or is it an outside entity?

Well, it's not like they bother telling us that kind of things, usually, so your guess is as good as mine... They do mention it's been two years since Majin-Boo. That's it.

One problem I could see is that the media seem to remember about Mr. Satan defeating Majin-Boo... and they shouldn't, right? Oh, well, I guess that could be explained away by saying they hadn't made that one wish yet.
And then, there's Tarble. Vegeta knew about him, and yet he was never mentioned? And I know Saiyans are supposed to stay young longer, but still... He looks like a kid, compared to Gokû.

That means adult, or at least teenage Gotenks, no?!

Did the design change? No idea. But I wouldn't bet on that: it's only been two years, after all. And if the poster is to believed...

Wait, so it's before the last 3 eps of DBZ? I gues so... 2 years after defeat of Kid Buu... Dammit

In more ways than one: Tenshinhan and Lunchi don't appear.
(I'm guessing Chaoz doesn't either)

How about Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha, and 18?

No Tenshinhan OR Lunch?

Why put them on the poster then!? That makes no sense? It's like putting up an advertisement selling delicious cheeseburgers, then when you get to the restaurant to order one it turns out all they're selling is hot dogs!

I really, REALLY hope the other Z senshi you mentioned are in the special.

So do I, or else I am going to be all kinds of disappointed..

And have funimation expressed any knowledge of the special because I think they might put it on their double features if they were going to get it.

My friend said a Funi rep was salivating about it at AWA.

EDIT: A different one than the one I mentioned in the other thread.

How could Table be Vegeta's little brother? He looks like Vegeta's age when Planet Vegeta exploded, and Goku was just a baby then. Now Goku has a full grown son. Is Table just short like Krillin?

My thoughts exactly.

They're in. Klilyn's daughter appears as well.
I think everybody from the poster is in, except for Tenshinhan, Lunchi, probably Chaoz, and maybe Kame Sennin's turtle and Bubbles (not sure).

In light of the Japanese love of Lolicon, I guess anything is possible.

Theoretically, Saiyans are supposed to remain young in appearance far longer than humans do once they reach adulthood so this should not be too big of a stretch to pull off and not disrupt anything that was previously stated.

This also answers a question raised in another thread about whether there were a possibility for some Saiyans to have survived the destruction of planet Vegeta (which happens to harmonize with the script that I am writing, now all I have to do is figure out how to work Tarble/Tabule in).

I'm going to tell you more informations about the special except the main plot

Openig: It's you know, the greatest song ever, CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA! The footages were remade. For example, in the scene Gohan runs on ShengLong, Gohan was changed to Goten and Trunks.

Background music: The original scores used in DBZ!

Yeah, but there's still the fact Raditz didn't mention Tarble. Are we to think that he didn't know about him? Or that he was ordered not to talk about him?
Fanwank time...

でもラディッツは「お前と同じく辺境の惑星に送られていた」みたいなことを言ってるし、明らかにベジータのことでもナッパのことでもない。もしかしたら・・・

But Raditz said "He was sent to a marginal planet like you" so it's not Vegeta nor Nappa. Maybe he was saying about Taburu.. yeah it's really kina fanwank though

Oliver Hague wrote:What I meant by that is that Gokû doesn't take the bad guys seriously at all (they're only supposed to be as powerful as Freeza, after all). So they draw straws (well... radishes, actually) to decide who's going to fight them: Goten or Trunks. Trunks wins (Vegeta = happy), but Gokû lets Goten go at them as well anyway (Vegeta = angry).
Of course, the fight does escalate a tiny bit, and Gokû gets to do something in the end, but... well, you get the general idea.

So basically Table and the rest of the teletubbies are incredibly weak?
Does Table even fight at all?

Fuck you too, assholes.

I always thought he was talking about Nappa... I mean, he only mentions two other surviving Saiyans, so they just have to be Vegeta and Nappa, right?

Miracles wrote:Does Table even fight at all?

Nope, not as far as I can tell.

Nappa says he is an elite fighter and actually was the attendant of the prince Vegeta. So I think it's not him.

I think that was simply because Raditz mentioned that well before Toriyama finalized the characters of Vegeta and Nappa. Again, he said there were only two other survivors, soooo...
