Having him say:
- bastard!
- you bastard
- alright bastard
- come on then, you bastard!
Sounds more natural to me then saying "come, bastard!" like a knight saying "come then, villain!"

At least Vegeta managed to find the enemies.

I've finally caught up. Just to clarify, the tournament is over right? Because I can't really see everyone just lining back up after 2 years of wholesale slaughter just to watch some good natured fights.
Find the Light in the Dark
They lined up to watch good fights after:
- a giant monkey showed up and an old man blew up the moon (and all of the ecological problems that likely occurred after)
- Tambourine explicitly murdered one of the participants
- the son of the creature that released an army of killers on the world and threatened to destroy cities showed up, and tried to kill everyone
- Nappa blew up a city
- Cell threatened to blow up the world
- Two guys showed up, beat up Videl, and injected Gohan
- two small children showed up with superpowers
- and Vegeta even blew up a good amount of people for no good reason (albeit, this might have been erased from their memory by wish)
I suppose that was a different audience, but you get my point. It wouldn't be without precedent.
I also get yours but, let's be real, they're going back to the tournament after this, just with some emptied slots.

5 of those examples don't even count
Piccolo Jr's little thing discontinued the tournament for over 10 years

How do they not count?

Those events didn't stop the tournament
Cell's tournament wasn't even attended by spectators and the 25th Budokai was over by the time Vegeta did what he did
Goten and Trunk's fight isn't an example of an interruption no one is bothered just startled
Videl's fight is pretty normal — but just a bit more brutal than what they'd expect

I choose to believe that Vegeta was playing with that cat before the explosion threw him into "Come at Me, Bro" mode.

Somebody get this freaking duck away from me!
I still don't understand how Cell's framing of the final confrontation with him as a tournament sticks around in the fandom. He didn't even finish one fight before he threw out the rules and it became the same as any other fight in DBZ.

I'm gonna need a source on that one. I'm not saying the stories going to end anytime soon, but enough characters and spectators have died at this point that the whole "We have to fight because it's a wish fulfillment tournament" excuse would just feel hollow.

Okay, I got you. You know what, I rescind everything I said. I'm just kinda disappointed because that whole affair wrapped up really poorly. Well, see you all next year when I check in.

...that whole Majin Rebellion was "filler"...

It wasn't filler, we got more character development for everyone's favorite character, Son Bra
As much as I'm not a fan of that particular story arc, I don't think it's fair to call it filler.
It could have stood to be shorter. The comment has been running for 12 or 13 years and that stupid arc took 4.

Ok there's been a lot of un-Dragon Ball like stuff throughout this comic so far but if Goku's wading through an ocean of blood there then uhhh, this is kind of uncomfortable.

That's blood?

I don't think it's blood but I don't know what it is, either. It looks thick and there's a lot of it. Mud or something? It reminds me of mud.
Why would it be blood, a literal ocean of blood?

I don't see anything wrong with the translation this time.
