An explanation for the GT "plothole" with Pilaf

Conan the SSJ · Post by **Conan the SSJ** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 3:30 am

As we all know, many think it's a plothole for Pilaf to be alive in GT because of the wording of Dende's second wish during the battle against Kid Buu. However, I have an explanation.

Plain and simple, Porunga would've had to focus on pure evil beings when he revived the Earth's populous. And as we all should know, Akira Toriyama himself considers Piccolo Daimao the first pure evil enemy of the series. Now you may be asking, "But Conan, what's your proof?" My proof is Akkuman being revived with all the Earthlings, clearly seen at least in the anime giving his power to Goku. Now considering this is supposed to be the "devil" incarnate, however wasn't pure evil, I think it's safe to assume Pilaf and his cronies could be brought back to life no problem; clearly implying Porunga only strayed from reviving pure evil beings (such as those psycho gunmen).

Well, thoughts?

Yup, same with me. Pilaf alive is no big deal, I mean his comic relief than a real villian. And he hasn't being doing much, has he?

I'm with ya, Conan. Pilaf's not actually evil, per se, as much is he is just a troublemaker. Poor Mai and Shu are even less so. It's the reasoning that let them ride Kinto'un in my Fanfiction.

Oh that little scamp, planning to roast three kids and two animals alive while he watched.

In that logic Bulma is also pure evil, everytime she attempted to kill Goku with a machinegun

Don't forget poor Kame-Sen'nin and Kuririn, who got shot at point-blank range just for falling asleep!

Well, the Anime filler is non-canon. But whatever. I agree with the common opinion here. He's not "evil", just this goofy little trouble maker who's trying to rule the world.I mean c'mon, his idea of torture is blowing a kiss.

A kiss? Oh my! You'll make Mai and Shou blush!

Sounds reasonable enough to me, I never really considered Pilaf to be all that evil. Evil intentions maybe, but it's hard to consider him an evil villian when all of his plans blow up in his face in comical fashion.

...And on a side note, it's funny how if you wipe out an entire planet of millions or billions of people with a Galick Gun, you're a villian / anti-hero. Shoot a dozen people with a machine gun and you're pure evil.

But that doesn't happen in the manga, so only Toei holds that opinion.

Which is fine, since GT is their series anyway, so Akkuman being alive in then anime can explain Pilaf being alive.
