Actually, none of what you described happened, because Vegeta wasn't at the lookout (he flew away, probably crying, from the site of the Cell Games) and Goku explicitly said he was not coming back when they tried to bring him back.

Furthermore, training Trunks has nothing to do with Vegeta wanting to fight alone, so why would it ever matter?

His refusal to train Bulma makes sense. Bulma wanting to train at all, does not. Bulma wants nothing to do with martial arts herself - and she knows she would need to put titanic amounts of effort, which she'd rather put into something more interesting and useful like designing new cool shit to make more cash with.

So, simply put: Vegeta is prone to throwing bitch fits he goes back on later.

And after Cell died Vegeta said he'd never fight again.

Now I want to see Vegeta searching for new purpose in life, trying various hobbies and driving Bulma insane until she tells him to get his ass in the gravity chamber and don't come out until he's a SSJ2.

According to Toriyama, he watched infomercials about bargain sales.

Okay, you're right about the Vegeta not keeping his word, but Bulma's proposal wasn't out of her own interest in martial arts. Goten and Trunk's fighting skills had severely deteriorated(they couldn't even get the fusion dance right at first) and she was trying (unsuccessfully) to convince Vegeta to train Trunks again to offset it.

But still, you're right, it would be perfectly in character for Vegeta to make such an outburst and then train Bra anyway. Especially if Pan became a motivator the way Goten did for Trunks.

I think we'll see Super Saiyan God Paragus before we see Super Saiyan Pan.

I've seen concepts and game mods that showed Legendary Super Saiyan God Broly, and usually he's doing depicted with blood red hair rather than the usual magenta.

Concepts like Super Saiyan God Broly make me wonder if this series wouldn't be better off dead. I mean ''why"? I ask that as someone who totally gets Mr. Bro Bro.

Super Saiyan God Broly doesn't officially exist though.

Yeah, fans coming up with stupid shit or stupid shit being in games happens with everything. It's hardly unique to Dragon Ball.

There was a thing, somebody brought up a while ago, about how you can Google "(any random name) the hedgehog", and you will find someone's Sonic fan character.

Yes, Broly the Hedgehog exists.

Not as unreasonable as it sounds. Sonic already borrows heavily from Dragon Ball.

Would Piccolo be able to go SSJ 3 if he used the Potara earrings to fuse with Goku?

A Goku plus a Vegeta can make a Super Saiyan 3.

A Saiyan child plus a Saiyan child, neither of whom were capable of Super Saiyan 2, can make a Super Saiyan 3.

I'm sure biology would give a Piccolo plus a Goku a pass.

Do remember that Dragon Ball Z works on nonsensical biology already - Cell somehow has the Namekian regeneration, Freeza's race's super survivor status, the Saiyan zenkai, the abilities of the fighters whose cells were used in his creation...

So, yeah, simply put, genetics in DBZ make zero sense, so it's pointless to bring biology up at all.

And it's not like any of those functions make sense (or at least the way they're portrayed) anyway.
