Seriously, we get the word straight from the horse's mouth in a completely unambiguous way and people still get it wrong. I don't understand the Dragon Ball fandom at all.
Know what you're talking about before you say others are wrong:
I do, in the sense of “betraying the fans’ expectations”. For instance, when I got a lot of, “Don’t kill Vegeta,” I deliberately killed him. (laughs)
So he's both claimed to spare Vegeta and kill Vegeta due to fan requests to spare him.
Neither of which contradicts the other.
He claims to have invented Frieza because he was convinced by Vegeta's popularity not to kill him off. This would have to have happened at the end of the Saiyan arc.
He also claims to have killed Vegeta in response to repeated outcry not to kill Vegeta. This happens at the end of Namek, long after the decision to spare Vegeta and invent Frieza was made, and was short-lived.
So basically, the story goes like this: Vegeta was going to be the villain on Namek but he was so popular with the fans that Toriyama invented Frieza to replace him and made Vegeta into an antihero Deuteragonist for the duration of the arc. As the fight with Frieza heated up, fans were terrified for Vegeta and kept pestering Toriyama to spare him, so he decided to troll the fandom by having Vegeta die for five minutes.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I used to play it, but now my phone has an error every time the game tries to update. So I literally can't play it anymore.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!I know. I was just expanding on that.
Pointless exposition is what I do.

Butt...having a "reason" to watch the original Dragon Ball anime, English dub with translated Japanese subtitles, I'm reminded about how people sometimes complained about adding pointless dialogue where there wasn't.
I find that this dub did do that but also had none where there were...and that was just interesting to me.
Also Goku's description of how he thought he lost Cloud potatoes the first time...
"...but it broke and died."
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.It wasn't too bad with that, sometimes characters making unnecessary groans or sounds in general did go a bit overboard...luckily that stopped after the first tournament.
Jap. Goku was also very blunt about saying he was gonna kill someone.

Maaaybe.
Also: something that isn't canon,
but probably should be. (and kind of is, I guess, in a way?)

Nope. In the the manga, Chi-Chi never shows up again after her appearance in the Fire Mountain arc until the Tournament in the Piccolo Daimou arc.
And even then, Goku was always either training with someone or in battle, so there was never any time for him to meet her again.
Plus, he's in his blue Gi in that scene, which he never wore again after the first arc. There was no moment when it could have happened.
One Strip! One Strip!She never shows up again until the third tournament in the read?
I think I like that she showed up two more times...what's suppose to be filler I guess.

Anywho, since the Saiyans never conquered Planet Plant in universe 6, i wonder if that means that the Tuffles are still around as well.
