You know, there's something I never understood - what happened to the two absorbed Supreme Kais? I mean, they weren't eaten, so they weren't digested.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987I'm not one of those guys who's going to go on an on about how humans are the worst thing to ever happen to the planet and should just go extinct but the mentality of "We are absolutely superior to everything else on the planet" is one of the many reasons we're fucking ourselves over and it always comes off as pretty obnoxious.
Thing is, we kind of are superior to everything else in the planet. If we weren't, we wouldn't be able to destroy it because something else, something above us, would be stopping us. There's literally nothing living in this planet that we cannot find a way to kill.
Also, in a billion years, humanity will very likely have evolved beyond the need for a planet at all, so we'll let the crocodiles have Earth.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariYou're assuming humans will be here in billions of years. Species generally don't last anywhere near that long and we're actively bringing the world closer to a state where we, and everything else won't survive. That's not very superior.
Also, just the general line of thinking "I'm better than you because I can wipe you and everything like you off the face of the planet" is a frankly, fucking awful line of thought. Not really sure if you want to go there.

Pff, the whole "we're destroying the planet we live in, clearly we're not superior" thing is hilarious to me. I have no fear of humanity making the planet uninhabitable before we no longer need it, and neither should you, because that is a silly fear, given that humanity's advancement has only become faster as time progresses.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariBeing superior doesn't equal being better.
Humans are objectively the superior species on Earth, that's why we dominate over pretty much all animal and vegetal species in existence. That doesn't mean we're any better for the planet itself, but then again, they aren't supposed to be equivalent concepts.
I'll just put it this way, ecologists, conservationists, biologists, the people who come up with terms like "sentience" and "sapience", the people who study Latin for the sole purpose of categorizing their findings? They don't tend to buy into "human is the best animal", they tend to be misanthropes.
It's people in politics, religion, entertainment, philosophy, marketing and industry who tend to misinterpret things like "sentience" and "sapience" as "better" and "best".
And to think we can destroy the planet, a little far fetched with our current tools. We cannot even destroy the moon(yet, I'm sure under the never ending advancement of science we will eventually repay the sun for its eons of loyalty that it has outlived its usefulness). Master Roshi, on the other hand, does live in a world where humans can destroy the moon, but it is also a world where humans are clearly inferior to saiyans and nameks, human-saiyan hybrids not withstanding, or at least will be till Uub comes. Luckily all the female saiyans are done or a saiyan human hybrid fathered by Uub would likely end all things...all things done by anyone else.
Buldogue's lawyerWell, not to get into the argument, but we can end the world, just not quickly...
Unless we go all nuclear on each other.
Ironically enough, the existence of nukes proves both sides. We were dumb enough to create weapons that we could wipe each other out with, but smart enough to realize it would be an awful idea to ever use them.
One Strip! One Strip!Everyone in Dragonball?
The digimon would be pushed to the sidelines in favour of Goku and Vegeta.
I have a question. I understand that Vegeta wanted to fight Frost, but I'm a bit confused by the ruling.
Frost cheated against Piccolo and Goku. They disqualify Frost and give Piccolo the victory, but Vegeta says no because he wants to fight Frost, leaving him as the only member of their team. Okay.
Now, the obvious thing they would do is overturn Goku's loss as well, since he was also cheated out of a victory by Frost and as I suspected, they went that angle. But then... shouldn't that mean that Frost was still disqualified without fighting Vegeta? How can they say "No, the disqualification doesn't count except when it does"? It kinda just feels like a screw you to Piccolo, honestly.

Buldogue's lawyerDon't you mean the anime? Yamcha, Ten and Chiaotzu weren't returned to Earth in the manga. Only Kuririn was returned to Earth and that is because his soul was summoned to Earth and Porunga created his body himself.
The anime shows those three resurrected on Earth and that's where the inconsistency is.
No, the manga is the one that is constant because being revived after you've been given a body means being revived where you currently are. It happened to Goku, Piccolo and Vegeta. The people who were revived where they died weren't ever seen being given bodies in the afterlife.
It's the anime who makes this mistake by showing people with afterlife bodies revived on Earth.

Meanwhile, crocodiles are just hanging out not changing much in millions of years and going, "Nice iPhone. You're doing a bang-up job making the planet uninhabitable for yourselves. Check back with me in a billion years if you're still around, and then we can talk about how you won at evolution and are the best species ever to exist."
We'll make you go extinct long before we destroy ourselves, though, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you are so hot at the survival game, why aren't you preventing that, hotshots?
