King Kai couldn't come even if he wanted to - they still haven't wished him back to life.

Goku is a God now, though - maybe he can decide whether or not he gets to keep his own body? He's gotta be high enough in the celestial hierarchy to do that, right?

I just saw the episode. I'm on the side of Frost being more evil than Freiza, it's one thing to be evil but its even worse to still be evil but hide it and act like a good guy.

I get that they have to have Vegeta beat him for "reasons" but it's like dude you are already down a guy just take the win and beat him up later.

Wonder if the gods are even aware there's an entire race of aliens that can teleport freely between the mortal world and the afterlife.

Is there a difference between poison and venom?

I don't think visiting the afterlife is that big a deal. It's not like they're disrupting anything or even can. Souls don't keep their bodies, so you'd be hard pressed to find your loved ones in the afterlife, 'cuz all souls look the same 'n all.

(And incidentally, the fact that everyone is represented with the same puff of smoke is somehow an anti-racism statement)

[up]I think there is?

I can't remember exactly, but I do seem to recall that venom and poison are different things. I know that being venomous and poisonous are two different things, at least.

Venom is aggressive, Poison is passive. Technically, Frost's using venom.

If you bite a poisonous creature you die. If a venomous creature bites you, you die.

That's the difference. There is a metric fucton of different toxins, and the venom/poison dichotomy has no chemical basis, it is just some odd stuff happening in the English language.

Then again,Ring Octopus is venomous I think,and still rather colourful.

Basically, "venom" is a harmful substance that is actively injected into another creature. Any animal that stings, bites, or sprays to deliver its toxin is using venom.

"Poison", on the other hand, is only harmful if it's consumed. Any animal that has toxins in its body, but can't actually affect you with them until you eat it, is using poison.

So yeah, Frost would be using a venom.

Venom is produced by animals and has to be entered into your bloodstream to hurt you. I could drink a gallon of cobra venom and so long as there weren't any cuts in my mouth or digestive tract I'd be perfectly okay. Try this at home, kids!

Poison can kill you if ingested.

So by the time it reached the intestine?There's blood vessels there,for venom to get in,no?

There's no simple answer, but with the amount of responses...it seems to be very well known.

[up][up]Well it is supposed to be there to filter that kind of stuff out so it doesn't actually reach your bloodstream.

Otherwise we'd all have poop running through our veins.

Cobra venom is a neurotoxin and would probably numb your mouth and give you cramps if drunk. Viper venom is hemotoxic and would probably make some holes in your tract and then mess you up.

Give this a look if you have the time, even if it may be a bit gory if you aren't used to that kind of stuff...

So...I'm only now realising that Vegeta is literally jeopardising their chances in the tournament so he can stroke his own ego.

there'd better be a legitimate reason for Vegeta/Frost happening. And if there isn't, someone had better call him out for it.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Man. This was just a clinic of old school Piccolo techniques...

You know, maybe Toriyama should have actually had Piccolo use the proper (two handed Makankosappo / Special Beam Canon), because the one handed version is somewhat iconic. Then again, maybe he shouldn't have just had him use the technique once and then never bother with it again either.

Still disappointed with Frost, but he might be smarter than Frieza. Like I said, his method makes it a lot less likely that people would try and rebel against him. That being said, if he's using such a method, Frost might be both weaker then Frieza, but less egotistical. Smart enough to have something else in reserve (which Frieza had to die to consider) but also not strong enough that he's confident enough in his power to avoid such tricks. I guarantee you that if Frieza had known there were people who could come close to him in power the way Goku eventually did, he'd have had twenty of those spikes in his arms.

As a final note, while I'm annoyed that Vegeta put them at a disadvantage to sate his ego, you can just see him saying Bitch. This time, I'm wrecking you. I'm pretty sure there's a term for when you transfer your feelings for one person onto another.

Well, We should get ready for the adventures of the Dragonball gang in Universe 7 (or was it 6?) I guess. Cause if Toriyama is sticking to his do the opposite of what everyone expects or wants shtick, then our heroes will probably lose.

Edit: Vados is kinda an evil bitch isn't she?

If you had told Freeza that there was a Non Beerus or Whis person who could come close to him in power, he would kill you for the insolence. Even if you told him that he's weaker than Beerus and Whis, he'd kill you because you're reminding him of an unpleasant fact, but at least he'd believe that one.

I don't really see a point in going "Frieza is more evil or Frost is more evil." They seem to have the exact same goal just different ways of going about. Neither of their methods is particularly decent so I don't see a reason to make a distiction like that.
