FUNimation's Horrible DBZ Triva Game

Post by Tanooki Kuribo » Sun Oct 17, 2004 3:18 pm

What skill does Yajirobe lack compared to all the other Z Fighters?

He has no tail
He can't fly
He can't power up
He can't read


This was a question for a contest to win the triva game, but first you had to answer 3 question's correctly to be enterd into the contest, above was one of the questions... (see FUNimation.com )
Long story short, WTF? you can only pick ONE of those answer's and I picked "He Can't Fly" and I got it wrong. WTF is up with these questions, there horrible.

That's pretty stupid alright; he can't fly, AND he can't use Ki. Who runs these stupid contests, honestly?

I went to funimation.com to check out the contest/quiz, and saw the "Tein Shinhan" saga has been recently released! Neat!

Heh. Actually, I saw that DVD set in the new Super Target in my town for only $27, and since I just got paid...*puts to go to Super Target on tommorrow's to-do list*

The poll is pretty sad today too.

You vote for an "important feature" on a "PS2 Dragonball Game."

A)Flying
B)Destroying
C)Fighting
D)Story

Oh the DEPTH of those answers.

But in case anyone cares, fighting is winning.

Well, technically He can't use Ki would be right, since you need Ki to fly...

...hmm, we know Kuririn also lacks a tail, and surely he would theoretically be able to power up...

OH MY GOD!!! YAJIROBEI CAN'T READ!!!!

Curse you, illiteracy! Gohan will teach him to read, and then the Z-Fighters will be unstoppable once more!

Well, he technically can use ki...since ki is life force or whatnot. Anywho, you got "He can't fly" wrong? Woah...

Well he can drive. That means he had at least the equivalent of $3,000 and the ability to read the exam :D

Righto! Actually, I originally wrote $3,000 then went back and was like

"shit"

So without looking for conversion I took the lazy-ass way out and used the ambiguous word "equivalent" :D

He did in the 3rd Manga volume and anime, under Kame Sen'nin's training. This was their 'study' book:

"Don't [Bob](since it's a viz translation, I bet they wouldn't put the actual names.), please," moaned [Margaret], "Mama's coming home soon." But [Bob] only ran his hand down ....


Either way, I never gonna bother with Funimation's trivia, unless it was too silly!
Fry: Wow. The jungles on Mars look like the jungles on Earth.
Prof. Farnsworth: Jungles? On Earth? ([i]laughs[/i])

Did anyone else besides me not notice that line was a little on the dirty side the first time they read it?

No, it WAS Bob and Margaret in the original as well.

Yeah, I would think gameplay would be important too.

But then again, something as vague as gameplay probably wouldn't help them.

...and yet they think their four choices will?
