Moments you yelled at the characters on screen

Post by dbzfan7 » Tue Jul 16, 2013 8:20 pm

Most of this usually only happens as a kid. Moments where you were shouting "Don''t do it Vegeta" because he was about to let the villains power up or you were like "Don't quit Goku, you can do it." as Goku stepped down from the Cell games. Most of these probably only happen to first time viewers.

When Kuririn didn't press the button on the remote to turn off the androids. So many people give Vegeta so much shit for letting Cell absorb 18 but when Kuririn had the perfect chance to end it everyone seems to slide that under the rug.

After watching abridged, I started yelling "DODGE!" at any appropriate moment when watching the show. My roommate didn't like that...

Well, it's just cause that's understandable. :)
Most people in Vegeta's situation wouldn't have let the enemy get what he wants at the risk of killing everyone and destroying the world. We're not Saiyans! :)
But on the contrary, I guess most people in love with a beautiful young girl would have felt unable to cold-bloodedly and sneakily kill her. We're humans! :wink:

Well, at least that's my guess, I guess people just relate more to Krilin's choice than to Vegeta's, so that's why Vegeta gets "so much shit" as you put it about Cell absorbing C-18.
Plus, Krilin's intention was not for it to end with Cell absorbing C-18 and putting everyone in danger, while Vegeta's intention was clearly to take the risk of jeopardizing everyone's lives and the whole world for his own pride/curiosity.
And it's the intention that matters as they say for gifts. 8)

Mr. Satan saved the universe. Mr. Satan has every right to brag. He is the only character who has never died. Mr. Satan could have beaten Cell if not for his stomach ache and loose footing. But people like to believe in light shows and tricks.

When Goku threw the Spirit Bomb at Majin Buu, I yelled, "Now die you son-of-a-bitch! DIE!" I then covered my mouth out of fear of being heard by my mother who thankfully was not home at the time, or else I would've had a hand imprint on my face for days. (This was back when my mom was still the stereotypical "Southern black mother who will slap their kids in the face if they curse within earshot of them").

Shutting off 18 would not have been cold blooded. As sad as it might make me, I would have no reservations about shutting her off so that Cell couldn't reach his ultimate form. Plus, once Cell was dealt with, the Dragon Balls are there.

When Goku was about to throw the Spirit Bomb at Buu, but hesitated because Vegeta was being held hostage by Buu. I screamed something along the lines of "Throw it you idiot, you can just wish Vegeta back later!".

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.

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.

When Veggie has his hissy fit in Babidi's space ship and becomes Demon Prince Vegeta!!!....or Majin Vegeta, I guess. This was probably the most irritating and obnoxious thing Veggie has ever done in the entire franchise, and that's saying a lot.

Actually they couldnt wish him back. Vegeta was already dead so if he had died again he would be lost forever. At least according to the english dub :P

I'm pretty sure it was in the original as well.

Read the post wrong.

Vegeta had his body back they could have just wished him back. The whole lost forever thing was if Halo wearing Vegeta got mirked.

While he had his halo, if he had died, then he would have ceased to exist. Later in the fight, after he was wished back, he could have died normally.

That's exactly what I just said...if halo wearing Vegeta got mirked he'd be lost forever, at this point Vegeta has been wished back and had no halo so he could have died and then be wished back again

I was responding more to the guy above you. He said he got his info from the English Dub. Vegeta was already alive at that point, so it wouldn't have mattered.
