*** Can King Kai even go to the physical plane? I mean, yeah he was born there, but he has a job to do. Is he allowed to interfere directly like that? Although he may have been able to transport him to King Emma, but we don't even know how much energy it takes to transport a person. King Kai may just be unable to bring a passenger. On top of that, King Kai may have learned the technique as a result of the guilt of not knowing it when Goku needed it. He was trolling Goku with it as a joke because Goku had interrupted his concentration earlier. There's no indication that the ability wasn't a new addition to his arsenal. [[/folder]]

Added DiffLines:

*** Not sure about Dragon Ball universe or other countries, but even in the real world, telephones were not a common household objects in some countries until the 2000s. This troper didn’t have a phone till 2000 and had to use public phone booths to stay in touch with people. Losing contacts with someone meant losing that person forever. Also, Tien/Tenshinhan went off-the-grid in the Buu saga and the gang was unable to contact him, until he himself showed up in the final battle, meaning it is possible to do so.


Added DiffLines:

** No. The one year limit on the Earth’s dragon balls are for anyone and everyone. Kami was simply explaining the limitations of the dragon balls. Just because A and B were both part of the limitation, doesn’t mean A is only a limitation if B happens. The rule gets a bit of a revision in Ressurection F, though, but mostly remains same. The Dragon can’t revive anyone who has been dead for more than a year properly.

** In Namek, Frieza briefly does use his tail in combat against Goku at one point, but it was more out of sadism/torture purposes (he tried to strangle Goku with it) than out of practical attack (and his tail "attack" backfires spectacularly on him when Goku just bites his tail off). Similarly, Piccolo's abilities to extend his arms or become a giant are already useless by the time the Saiyans show up — being a FlyingBrick pretty high in the power scale is already efficient enough, combat wise. Hell, even the ability of [[MesACrowd ''triplication'']] (which should be infinitely more useful and practical than just having a tail as an extra limb) was already useless, as Nappa alone had no problem fighting three Piccolos and three Krillins (six opponents in total) all at once and beating them all up without breaking a sweat.
