History WMG / Dragonball

* You have a good point, I have some evidence to back up said claims, 1) He dresses very similarly to how Buu does, it is outright stated that he is immortal, which is rare in the DBZ universe, also he is supposed to be a Genie or something, wheras Buu by WordOfGod is stated to be inspired by a Djinn, which in modern culture has translated to "evil Genie" type spirits, there is also the fact that Mr. Popo has seemingly no trouble fighting people who, generally, should be way above his skill level, and is usually cited as being stronger than he looks, along with the fact that he never takes off that damn turban, bet there is a head tentacle under there.

*** Well, in the movies, she's one of the few (read: 2 or 3) people that think his poses and speeches are actually cool, so maybe [[HiddenDepths she has a secret geeky side she never shows to anyone except him]]? It would make her character more interesting if they would explore that. Perhaps she's a tokusatsu buff, and knows a LOT more about all the various ''SuperSentai'' series than anyone would expect a martial artist to?

* I ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments love]]'' how you felt you needed to point out that [[CaptainObvious blowing up the planet isn't a good thing]].

Just as there are no mistakes in martial arts, there are no mistakes in martial arts anime/cartoons apparently. If Vegito/Gogeta were to appear in BOG then it would be just another "turn the tables around curbstomp retaliation" like the battle against Buu or even the ending in non-canon movie "Fusion Reborn" or the appearance of [=SSJ4=] Gogeta in the non-canon franchise gt. Even though it would of been [[CaptainObvious really satisfying seeing another appearance from Vegito or even the first canon appearance of Gogeta beat the shit out of a villian that thinks their invincible such as beerus]],that would of defeated the point of the film hence its name "battle of GODS". If Goku and Vegeta did fuse(then of course beat the shit out of Beerus and Whis) that would take up all of the creative room that was meant to introduce the new saiyan transformation(ssjgod). It's clear that Akira regrets ending the series after the Majin Buu saga and that's why there's Gt, a couple of DBZmovies after the Buu saga, and let's not forget the shitload of dbz video games including that online DBZ games. So he decides to make a movie about the series even going as far as introducing a new saiyan transformation into it, he's pretty much trying to pull the series out of retirement (not cancellation), and to add to that there is a new DBZ movie coming out in 2015. While some fans are in denial in the face that Vegito is stronger than Beerus here's this. Vegito beat Buu(han) and Super was more or less equal to [=SSJ3=] Goku plus he had Goten, Trunks, Piccolo and Ultimate Gohan who was way stronger than Vegeta (Before BOG in which he got that rage boost against Beerus) seeing as he completely dominated super Buu before he started assimilating people so if you're going to be all mathematical about this shit, Buuhan after absorbing all of those people should of kicked Vegito's ass not the other way around. The reason being because Vegito got a power boost from the earrings also an additional power boost because Goku and Vegeta were rivals as stated by Elder Kai. So Vegito is going to have a hell of a lot more power than just Goku and Vegeta otherwise he wouldn't of been able to defeat Majin Buu but completely dominate him as well. For those fans who are still feeling "skeptical" about the subject Beerus can't defeat ssj1 Vegito/Gogeta, let's just be generous and say Beerus can defeat [=SSJ1=] Vegito/Gogeta, but is it possible for beerus to defeat [=SSJ2=] or even [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill [=SSJ3=] Vegito Gogeta]]? Point proven.

As many DBZ fans dislike DragonBall GT it perfectly fits in the Dragonball timeline. The reason why GT is becoming obsolete is so DBZ can be revived and brought into a new direction.

* I ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny love]]'' how you felt you needed to point out that [[CaptainObvious blowing up the planet isn't a good thing]].

* FIFTEEN years later? [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Kills a helicopter bristling with heavy-artillery by ramming a car into it.]]

** Personally I take [[WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged Team Four Star's]] explanation for where Trunks came from as canon. Let's face it, even if it wasn't [[CrowningMomentOfFunny completely hilarious]] it would still fit their characterization at the time.

** [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming This needs to happen]].

[[WMG: Cell is an incarnation of AM, the supercomputer from ''IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream''.]]

I saw this idea elsewhere and liked it enough to put here. Broly did hate Goku for the crying, of course, but less for the crying itself and more for what Broly associated with the sound. His memory may be impossibly good, but he was still a very tiny infant at the time everything went to shit for the Saiyans. What happened to him that day? The kid got stabbed, tossed into a waste dump with his father, and then had a planet blow up right next to/on top of him. [[{{Understatement}} That's...kinda a lot for a baby to go through.]] So, naturally, he went completely bonkers. His actual memories of the time come from a mind way too young to really understand what was happening, and his perspective is coming from an extremely broken mind. He remembers all the pain, fear, and anger he felt back then, but instead of realizing these events were unrelated to each other, Broly pins all of those negative feelings on the event that (to him) started it all; Goku's crying.

* If we're getting into the suggestions as well, Fairy Tail would probably be Acnologia, while Neon Genesis Evangelion would be [[spoiler: Shinji after the Zeruel fight]], especially if we're going off the Rebuild of Evangelion path.

*** {{Manga/Toriko}}, Manga/RosarioToVampire, Manga/{{Hellsing}}, Manga/FairyTail, and Manga/NurarihyonNoMago
*** Franchise/LyricalNanoha, Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion, Manga/ElfenLied, and [[BadFuture the two alternate timelines made by Trunks' time travelling exploits]].
*** All Dragon Ball timelines are part of a singular universe, and even if they where not they would still be governed by Beerus.
*** Manga/OutlawStar, {{Manga/Gunnm}}, Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar, Manga/HikaruNoGo. (Imagins Goku and Vegeta playing go as super saiyans.)
*** I think {{Manga/Shaman King}} and {{Manga/Beelzebub}} are more likely candidates. Shaman King has seven different gods, and Beelzebub features some gigantic power ups and the lord of the underworld with its own alternate dimension.
*** I kind of want to suggest {{Anime/Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt}} on account of an admittedly semi-insane theory I have regarding Bulma's parents.

[[WMG: The reason Trunks' sword worked against mecha freeza but not goku is becuase it only works against people with mechanical body parts.]]
* It was specially designed to kill the future androids, and it tore through mecha freeza like butter, but it didn't work when king cold used it against him, or when he used against goku becuase neither of them had any android parts. the reason it broke on the present androids is because they were just so strong they overpowered it.

* WAY WRONG!!!! Sorry, i meant is this correct based on the Hirudegarn movie, where the sword was given to trunks by that one purple alien, who had it forged to defeat a giant mystical Holocauser.

*** In this case I interpeted sex drive as reproductive drive.

*** Namekians are utterly sexless; Dende (at least in the manga) seems to be utterly confused at the concept of "male" and "female". Given that they can seem to reproduce _at will_, it would likely be a good survival method to culturally limit breeding to just the one in charge at the moment, with no one else being _allowed_ to breed (as in wolf packs, where only the alpha pair is allowed to breed), so as not to overpopulate their world too much. This one is not sure whether or not if the reason for their planet having an environmental collapse was mentioned or not, but even if they don't eat, they may have overpopulated themselves, leading to a disaster. Given that this would have happened in Guru's lifetime, as the last Namekian (that he knew of, The Nameless Namekian already sitting on Earth wondering what to do) this "cultural rule" might be brand new with him. Given how much control they have over the creation of their offspring (as evidenced by Demon-King Piccolo's kids), it wouldn't be hard to make them kind of automatically realize the need for this kind of rule. Dende follows it, because he doesn't see himself as having authority/permission to reproduce, while Piccolo, well, he probably remembers what his previous self spawned. Also, he had Gohan, which might be good enough for any desires of having progeny.

* If goku got a lobotomy, then by some manner of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Saiyan Strength]], was revived to the point of not being a vegetable anymore, would he have physcic powers, considering a lobotomy is a surgical interruption of one or more nerve tracts in the frontal lobe of the brain: used in the treatment of intractable mental disorders.\\

Elder Kai warns out heroes that misuse of the Dragonballs could cause terrible natural imbalance and Namek, the planet of the balls origin, was devestated by natural disaster during Guru's time. It isn't unreasonable to link this event with Elder Kai's warning.

** Personally I take [[WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged Team Four Star's]] explanation for where Trunks came from as canon. Let's face it, even if it wasn't [[CrowningMomentOfFunny completely hilarious]] it would still fit their characterixation at the time.

* By extension, Trunk and Pan could also hook up for the same reason.

[[WMG: If Goku couldn't achieve the ssjgod transformation he would of just ended up fusing with Vegeta again.]]

* To make the guess more wild, it's likely that earth suffered a Dark age at some point when humanity degraded to a much lower level of civilization due to some apocalypse (or a World war between bloodthirsty ancient human ancestors). Some humans escaped and traveled to planet Vegeta, [[LostTechnology lost touch with their home civilization]] and themselves degraded to the Stone age in their attempt to adapt to the harsh conditions on the new planet. The native Tuffles too could have inflicted heavy losses against these humans, destroyed whatever tech they had and forced them into the wild where they struggled to survive for a long long time (Reminds me of what happened in Larry Niven's {{Ringworld}}). Over time humans on earth again became technologically advanced and evolved to lose their tails and their fighting genes (Super Saiyan genes became recessive to the point where they went vestigial). For Saiyans it was just the opposite. They adapted to the wild, over time probably forgot their own history and turned into savages and evolved into fighting machines under the 10x gravity and gained the ability to transform into apes and their Super Saiyan genes became dominant, but dormant. Thus humans split into two groups, but other than certain genes evolving to becoming dominant and others becoming vestigial, they are in fact the same species.

(The line of "succession", as it were, went like this: King Vegeta -> Freeza -> Goku -> Cell -> Gohan -> Buu -> Goku.)
