Trunks flipping the bird?

Post by TamaTheCat » Wed Jun 27, 2007 1:10 pm

If I remember correctly there is an episode later on in DBZ where Trunks flips the bird to someone. Was I imagining this or does this really happen? If it does , could someone be specific as to which episode this happens in? Thanks!

I know it happens in movie 11, I think there might be a scene in the Buu saga as well but I can't remember.

This sounds like Kid Trunks, so Movie 11 would have to be it.
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Doesn't he do it after Super Buu hits him in the ROSAT?

A lot of people do it over the course of the series.

I think I just watched some episodes where Bulma had a flashback of her doing it in Dragon Ball and also I think Recoom did it.

Vegeta, Recoome, Kid Trunks, Gotenks, even all the Z senshi on the cover of a manga volume in Japan have done it (being turned to fists to apparently show Cell how tough they are). It isn't unheard of.

Gotenks flipping off Buu was freakin' hilarious. And yeah, Bulma did it in Dragonball against Pilaf.

That picture always made me wonder....why isn't Vegeta flipping the bird, too? I can understand Gokuu and Gohan not doing it, it wouldn't fit their characters to flip someone off, and I guess I can understand Piccolo not doing it, either, but it seems strange for Vegeta NOT to do it when everyone else (even Tenshinhan!) is.

While Vegeta normally would, the others are already doing it, and he doesn't want to be amongst them.

Don't forget Babidi flipping off Goku while fighting Boo or Buu.

Why is only Vegeta a Super Saiyan in that picture? I guess it could be that he was the primary SSj at that point, or maybe Toriyama just didn't feel like blacking in his hair.

Nah, that was Gotenks. It was towards the end of episode 258, after him and Buu bonk heads...

Well, since the topic is about characters flipping other characters off...

Thinking about the later times someone has given the finger in the series, I noticed that the camera tended to do a close up on the character's hand that was giving the finger to the point that the finger would be cut off from the screen. (The examples I'm thinking of are when Gotenks flips off Boo and when Boo gives the finger after absorbing Vegeto.) Was this some kind way to censor out stuff when the show was first being aired? I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but I've noticed it for some time, and this topic seemed like the good time to bring it up :D.

Oh, let's not forget Veku flipping off Janemba.

...and then getting punched.

That's what came into my mind when I read DaemonCorps' post.

Yamcha gives Tenshinhan the bird before they fought.
