History Headscratchers / DragonballAbridged

* If the wish to revive everyone who was killed by Freeza and his men included Nappa...why didn't it include Yamcha?

* "Bring back all the people killed by Freeza and his men". If that happened, how come Yamcha and [[spoiler: Krillin]] had to wait a while longer and weren't revived with everyone else?

* sorry if this is a stupid question, but at the end of the season two finale, the letters PLTLH popped up. what do they mean?
** [[spoiler:It is Klingon(and in this universe, Namekian) for "finished!"]]

* Speaking of LSA, why did Goku say at the end [[spoiler: He could now revive Chiatzu, Master Roshi and Krillin?]] The first two didn't appear in the special and the third seemed more kinda tacked on.

** Again, from LSA, if Slug [[spoiler: is Guru's good half,]] why did he try to freeze the whole planet, killing all its inhabitants and use the planet as a vessel while [[spoiler: Guru,]] despite being a massive jerk tries to be helpful to the heroes? (even unlocking Krillin and Gohan's full potential, no matter how small about it?)

*** To be more precise, there was no "drama" to it. Vegeta had become distant to the team and they decided they'd rather carry on with certain characters in different directions, at a quicker pace. There was no drama to it, merely recasting to make things easier for everyone.

** Cooler is older and therefore outranks him. That's [[http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Cooler cannon]].

** The thing is...why did Popo change his statement? It's not like he's afraid of anyone.

** Space google. Presumably, previous surveys and researchers visiting Namek have heard about the Dragon Balls but assumed them to be legend or mythology, and left the references buried in reports. Freeza has enough money and underlings to look up if there's any other appearances of the dragon balls, and thus find the erroneously-assumed-to-be-legend report.

...really, Guldo? How in the name of Yemma can he equate "Vegeta made fun of me and threw dog treats at me sometimes" with "The whole world stood there and mocked me"? I mean, we never see the rest of the Ginyu force pick on him; hell, even Freeza seems to respect him, and he ''loves'' to abuse his henchmen!

* When Goku saw Mr. Popo while in the hospital, he freaked out something fierce. But... He went to Popo's EARLIER when he was heading towards the saiyans. Why didn't he freak out then?

* How does Vegeta and thus Freeza learn about the Namekian dragonballs? Goku tells him the Earth dragonballs are useless with Piccolo dead, but he never tells him where to find alternative balls.

** Not sure if this is relevant, but in canon the dragonballs were gathered long before the full year was finished, but weren't used immediately because Baba told Roshi to wait. Goku could have come back within a few months, but due to his training needs he was gone a whole year. Assuming Gohan knew about this, it would appear that he was secondary to what his dad really wanted, training. Still a stretch I'll admit, but not as big a stretch.

** That wish was from the Earth dragonballs, which can only revive you once. Krillin had already died and been brought back once. As to the Saibamen, why wouldn't they count? Working for Vegeta means they're working for Freeza too.

** In [[spoiler:Krillin]]'s case, it's because he's already been revived by the Earth Dragonballs previously, and this wish was using the Earth Dragonballs (this explanation also extends to Chiaotzu). In Yamcha's case, the explanation given at the end of episode 30 applies perfectly: He was killed by a Saibaman, who was working for Vegeta (or Nappa, whichever you prefer, it doesn't particularly matter), which technically doesn't qualify it as one of Freeza's men. This extends to Tien, who was killed by Nappa, who was working for Vegeta.

** Y'know when he says, 'Huh ... where did that come from?'? Yeah, when you figure that out, the answer is pretty much what you're looking for.

** Just to clarify, in the regular canon, Guru dies of grief over the massacre of his people so when they use the Earth dragon balls to wish back the people that Freeza and his minions killed, Guru comes back as well because his death was a result of that. The question is, how Guru will come back if it's obvious his death wasn't in grief. I figure it's an easy enough solution for the Earth balls to be used to wish all the Nameks back to life, not the victims of Freeza.

** Didn't look like a suicide to me... I just thought he died of old age and Guru thought it would be dick move to stop fighting it.

*** In addition to all of that, he's only met Chi Chi four-six times in his entire life to that point and she's generally been pleasant when it didn't involve her fiancée forgetting her, her husband getting murdered, her four year old getting kidnapped by Satan and her five year old deciding to go to an unknown planet to resurrect the aforementioned Satan. In comparison, he's been on numerous adventures with Bulma and seen her do things like leave Goku to die (though she did get better about stuff like that and he missed her worst acts of bitchy-ness from the first DB arc). And she'd earlier told him that she didn't care that her letting Gohan go get a dragonball without supervision on a planet with multiple hostile, invincible, dragonball-seeking supermonsters that knew what he looked like might get him castrated by the boy's mother and had just blamed him for not fighting off one/two of the aforementioned supermonsters. Also, manga/abridged Chi Chi didn't chew Goku out after the Vegeta fight, and even in the original anime she was shown taking care of him in the hospital during his recuperation.

*** And she's [[{{Tsundere}} only a bitch some of the time]]

** Freeza, like Cooler, is a massive prick. He's probably the type who'd rub it in the face of the remaining saiyans on a regular basis.

*** Or maybe Space Twitter has been around longer and Vegeta was taking an ArchiveBinge

* If Abridged!Dr. Briefs is such a [[StayInTheKitchen chauvanist]] based on the way he acts around his wife, then why was Bulma raised to be so smart and free-willed?

* Vegeta makes a YourMom joke, Cui responds with "my species reproduces asexually." Funny, but...does that really negate the joke? After all, if Cui's species reproduces asexually, then Cui still must have one parent, and what would you call that one parent if not the mother? Certainly not the father.

** Vegeta was, what, five, when his planet blew up? Not much a five year old can do against a guy who can blow up planets with a finger.
* Why wasn't Chiaotzu telling Krillin that nobody cared that he destroyed the Saiberman counted as a point on the Krillin Owned Count? If they can do it when Master Roshi told Krillin to shut up after Krillin blamed him for not rescuing Gohan, then they should have done it there.

* The Suicide Joke in Episode 34. Just....REALLY?

* I can understand Zarbon [[AmbiguouslyGay acting stereotypically gay]], [[spoiler:[[CampStraight and yet still having a girlfriend]]]]. What I ''can't'' understand is the fact that he doesn't understand why [[MistakenForGay everyone thinks he's gay]]! Why is he so oblivious?
