Characters that you would liked to have seen interact more

Post by XdragondudeX » Mon Dec 05, 2016 8:16 pm

For the most part, most of the characters interacted with each other in one way or another but some don't seem to interact with each other much, only by making references to each other. I would have liked to see Gohan and Tien interact more. I feel like Tien ignores his existence, it's like he knows Gohan exists but I have never seen them have a conversation or directly saying anything to each other. There have been references and inner monologues. I remember Gohan freaking out when Tien was severly injured during the Saiyan Saga, by saying, "oh noo Mr. Tien!!!" And Tien basically doesn't even acknowledge Gohan's concern for him. Why didn't we get more Gohan and Tien interactions? I mean Gohan is the first son of Goku.

Another one is Chi Chi and Vegeta, I just thought the dynamics would be interesting since they are easily the most angered, uptight characters in the series and it would have been nice to see some interaction between them. They only reference each other a couple of times and that's all you get. In DBGT Vegeta calls her an idiot but again that's really it.

Thoughts? Agree? What interactions would you have liked to see more of?

Heavily influenced by my Earthling loving bias;

Krillin and Tenshinhan surprisingly barely interact considering they've worked together in three arcs. I honestly have no idea what their friendship is like at all. They're kind of opposites so it should be pretty interesting; Krillin is emotional, romantic, full of doubts, social and a family man whilst Tien is stoic, aromantic, confident, private and with the sole exception of Chaozu; a lone wolf. By all rights the two strongest Earthlings should have some memorable interactions when they cross paths.

Krillin and 17. Please give me their dynamic post 18 marriage.

Krillin and Jaco. Buddy Cop episode WHEN please?

I'm hoping next week's episode gives me some more Yamcha-Goku interaction. I know Goku was missing during Yamcha's Turtle School training but I always felt Yamcha got screwed a bit considering his friendship with Goku is one of the oldest bar Bulma and Oolong and had he trained alongside both Goku and Krillin they'd of appeared a lot more close knit like an adoptive family.

Speaking of Yamcha; he and Master Roshi. Everytime Roshi brings up his students Goku is obviously mentioned as the star pupil, and Krillin as the one who spent the most time with the old Turtle Hermit. Yamcha gets forgotten there and doesn't seem to get a chance to get much advice from his most influential teacher. Is Roshi ashamed of Yamcha or something? The guy is top tier amongst humans on Earth still and should have made him proud by surpassing him too. I think Roshi's interacted more with Tenshinhan at this point than Yamcha, and that's a shame.

Lastly for Yamcha; he and Vegeta. No really; let's do this. Yamcha is SHOCKINGLY chilled out by the fact Bulma chose Vegeta over him. This dynamic needs exploring. Please.

Has Goku EVER talked to Chaozu? Seeing him get mad over his death in the Saiyan saga made me suddenly realise they've never interacted as far as I can recall.

Chi-Chi's anger and "uptightiness" is nothing like Vegeta's. She's not the perpetually angry, violent woman that unfunny nerds and bashers portray her as.

Anyways speaking of Vegeta, I'd like to see him finally meet up with Yajirobe after their fight in the Saiyan Saga. Fatso was shown to be scared shitless of Vegeta after that incident and likely wouldn't wanna cross paths with him but Vegeta's infinitely a better person since then.

Oh and Vegeta/Yamcha like mentioned above.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Chiaotzu and Krillin: Their rivalry was fun while it lasted, they could have built on that a bit.

I'm not even a Chi Chi hater, I actually like the entire Son Family. I just wanted to see Chi Chi interact with Vegeta. Good call on Vegeta and Yajirobe, that needed to happen. Vegeta and Yamcha needed a bit more exploring but I got what I wanted out of them than say Gohan and Tien.

Piccolo and Vegeta should've had some kind of fight before the Buu arc.

Chi-Chi and Vegeta teaming up would result in Gokû never being able to get away with anything. :lol:

OR would Gokû play them against each other in order to get to do whatever he wanted to do? Hmm.

I'm not claiming you as a hater I just don't agree with Chi-Chi and Vegeta's temperaments being very comparable if at all (the awfulness of Super does that to ya), but yeah I would like to see them interact.

Oh and Present Gohan should have seriously interact with Future Trunks. We got a bit of it in the Android/Cell Sagas and could've gotten more in Goku Black Saga but it was wasted.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

LAUNCH and the rest of the characters! :P

Vegeta and Piccolo

Pan and Piccolo

Goku and Goten (in a similar manner that Goku was with Gohan), even though it can be assumed that they did interact more during the 10 year gap.

Krillin and Uub (I like the idea of two of the strongest humans on the planet getting to know each other)
DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least... :think:

My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid. :P

Come to think of it Vegeta and Goten have virtually no interaction. For being Goku's second son as well as Trunk's best friend and another Saiyan, I don't think they've ever really interacted at all?

We've seen Vegeta and Gohan interact numerous times, as both adversaries in Saiyan and Namek arcs, then as friends in the Buu arc and Super, but not Goten.

Some very interesting interactions here. I did overlook Future Trunks who really needed to interact with the Son brothers, I hoped we'd get that Super but that just wasn't to be apparently. Strangely enough Vegeta and Goten does not have much interaction, all I remember is Goten wanting explanation as to why Vegeta knocked Trunks out during the whole Buu debacle. I felt that Piccolo had enough interactions with Goten, I mean ones that virtually have none basically one scene or just none at all.

Future Trunks and Goten.

Goku/Videl

I don't think they've ever really talked to each other about anything that didn't pertain to Gohan.

The Z Fighters and Future Z Fighters. Following the Future Super Saiyan son of Vegeta and Bulma destroying Mecha Frieza and King Cold, and meeting with Goku and the others, Goku decides to use the Dragon Balls to revive and bring the Z Fighters of the future to them. Enabling both teams to make sure that they would have a much higher chance of winning against the Androids.
