I've often wondered why Vegeta was naked when speaking from beyond the grave.
I mean, everyone else in that vision was clothed.
Though the digital pants that Funi put on him in the edited version were hilarious (they kept moving around while he stood still XD )


The dub title for that episode is called "Trump Card". Or "The Trump Card".


EDIT: It's episode 92 according to Toei's numbering system.

I always thought it was a way to represent his other-worldliness. In other words, would a warrior, far more concerned with his abilities, care for things like clothes in death?

Ultimately, I felt it was effective and I understood it right away, but I have met a lot of people who ask, "Why is Vegeta butt naked?"

A less philosophical answer is: Occasionally Toei likes to throw something out there for the ladies.
Hey, I entirely forgot I had an account here. AGAIN.

Well, it's not the FUNi dub or Japanese version, but certainly is my own unique fandub of the scene in question. >>;;

Probably. :lol:
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Dragon Ball was for the guys. Plenty of fanservice moments involving Bulma and Lunch (with Ran Fan thrown in there). Then Dragon Ball Z was to lure in the girls with all the little boy wangs and adult asses. :P

The last Dragon Ball movie was a total fanservice bit for guys as they threw in panty shots every other scene. o_O

I've kinda viewed it as it taking sayings like bare/naked truth litterally, or vegeta being striped of his pride, and so on. Make sence maybe?

-Link Removed; false alarm-


Seems to be the dub episode of it. I haven't watched all the way through yet so I'm not completely sure if this is the uncut or the edited.


-EDIT-
Sorry, that one was uncut afterall. :(
That genki dama at the end made me grin though. :mrgreen:


HUGE difference in terms of Vegeta's voice. I haven't watched a Freeza episode in so long I forgot how different he sounded back then.
Also, naked Vegeta going "You have the power within you!" sounds so hilariously wrong to me. XD
