Sounds sorta uneventful but I still wanna see it. Also is there any news on the One Piece special?

He uses Yamcha's Rogafufuken and Tenshinhan's Haikyuken this time

Aw. I was actually hoping for some more new and original attacks of the Super Ghost Kamikaze variety.

...and some Super Ghost Kamikazes, of course.

Probably "Grey," since her species is the same as the alien invaders from Neko Majin 2 that were quite obviously a pun on "The Grey."

EDIT: Is it ever mentioned what race she is?

Wait a tick... why the hell would he need to use the Rogafufuken? It's so useless that Yamcha abandoned it in the pre-Z era.

And is Aka a fusion of Avo and Kado after all? I'm assuming Gotenks was Goten and Trunks' response to their fusion?

Maybe because, Goku's the star of the dang show and fights with him and Vegeta are always electrifying and interesting and they're experts at their discipline.

Haven't we had enough Goku and Vegeta fighting?

Nope. I have had enough of Goten and Trunks though.

At least when Gotenks fights, he does so with fun and interesting attacks.

Maybe for you, but to me I simply get tired of them. Their antics get really old, really fast. When fighting Buu, I honestly wanted to smack them around after a while to smarten them up. I thought they acted like spoiled brats(and I don't care if they were unaware little kids who didn't seem to realize the gravity of the situation). They're one of the main reasons the Buu Saga is my least favourite of all the DBZ story arcs. Just because you're a fan of them, doesn't mean everyone is.

As pointless as the former might be, that actually sounds pretty funny. We kinda got Gotenks' variation of the latter with Ultra Boo Boo Volleyball, though, so that's kinda boring.

Details of Taburu (aka Table)

He is the little brother of Vegeta. King Vegeta sent him to a marginal planet because of his lack of the sense of fight. He married Gure and had been living peacefully on the planet. Many years later, Avo and Kado attacked his planet, so he've come to the earth to call Vegeta for help. He says that Namek people told him that Vegeta's living on the earth.

sorry for my bad English. I'm japanese

I was hoping for a darker special, kind of like movie 13 in nature. I never found Dragonball to be that humorous to be honest with you.

So let's start hypothesizing over why Toriyama dropped this from the manga (besides the fact that he was fed up of writing the manga):

My official guess is he didn't want to show this side-story after the epilogue in a "meanwhile, 8 years prior!" moment, nor did he want to put this inbetween the end of Boo and the epilogue.

My unofficial guess is that he realized there's no way Vegeta's brother could be Gohan's age or younger and still have the story make sense.

You can argue the slower aging of Saiyans and the shortness of the Vegeta clan all you want: unless Vegeta's mom was a survivor of the destruction of Planet Vegeta, while Nappa is Tabaru's father, there's no way to explain how Tabaru looks so much younger than Goku.

Yeah, he is. Right now I'm working on translating the plot summary that kei17 posted awhile back, so I'll post that up here.

Is it from the fusion dance or another type altogether?

Table could just be one of those types ho looks much younger than his age. It happens in real life.

Decades younger, though? Tabaru looks younger than Gohan, even!

Oh that's great but that can be a spoiler for people who don't want to know the plot until they see. You should take some action for that I think

I wouldn't worry too much. We've been talking about this stuff for pages. I think anyone who doesn't want details stopped reading a while ago.
