I kinda really want to see things go well for the Pilaf Gang. I enjoy them immensely.

I suppose.

It's just still hilarious to think that he was closer to getting his wish then most villains who go after the dragon balls.

Hell, for all his power, Frieza never had a chance of making his wish, because he didn't even speak the right language (due to not know Namekian), and even when he still got past that, not speaking the right language still screwed him.

Pilaf had (and arguably still has) more of a chance of getting his wish then Frieza, the most powerful villain in the universe (especially since he's actually surpassed Buu now) ever did.

I find that funny as hell. Not bad for a member of the Gold Fish Poop Gang as you so accurately called them.

Well, there's always GT, where Pilaf did get his wish, he just wasted it.

Frieza's effectiveness as a villain is hampered by his love of torture.

Nah, blame the massive ego and his utter inability to put himself in anybody else's shoes. Guy is a tantrum-prone toddler who sees everybody else as bugs to squash rather than as fellow individuals.

To be fair, you just described pretty much every villain after Raditz. tongue

Vegata had that beaten out of him quite thoroughly.

It helps that the first to do it was Frieza himself.

Fat Buu maybe. Evil Buu was pretty much exactly that.

Pilaf and gang have gotten access to the Dragon Balls twice now.

Once apparently when Kami was still around as they only got one wish. They instead decided to use it to reverse their aging. Second time Shu and Mai wasted the wishes are a small amount of money and Ice Cream.

I'm liking the idea that the Pilaf Gang actually wished to be young fairly recently, and the reason they didn't get multiple wishes with the new Dragon Balls is because they stupidly dismissed the dragon, not realising you could DO that.

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

Looks like Dragon Ball Heroes might have shown a sneak peek at some new characters.

Time Patrol Vegeta was revealed at the end of the Demon God Demigra Saga, while Villainous 17, Villainous 18, Villainous 16 and Villainous Gero were revealed by unlocking side missions.

I wonder if they'll be playable in the next update...

They are in Dragon Ball Heroes. Time Patrol Goku's card even has a team ability with Time Patrol Bardock and Chronoa.

Indeed, though Chronoa needs to learn her boundaries when near Bardock...

I've always wondered, how would wishing for world domination work? Is it even something Shenron can grant?

I mean would people living on earth who are stronger than Dende also become followers of Pilaf?

The wish would most likely reform the World into Pilaf...and he's the cruel god.

There was no one stronger than Earth's god besides Mr. Popo, so unless he disagreed with the wish I'm guess Pilaf would be granted something that would make people legitimately see him as Earth's ruler. Perhaps an army of regenerating soldiers that subject all who do not willingly bow to your new lord and master Pilaf?

Popo isn't stronger than God until the Saiyan arc.

To be fair, you just described pretty much every villain after Raditz.

Vegeta and the cyborgs developed past that, Cell was designed to be that, and Buu was a force of nature.

Freeza was a member of a society, and on a political position. That's the main difference between him and the ones that came after.

Well, there's also Gero, who seems to have gone mad with revenge as well, and probably wasn't a paragon of empathy to begin with. And Babidi, who is a backup of somebody who tried to use the aforementioned force of nature to wage war against the gods...

Yep, those two are also scum.

Popo never surpassed Kami, outside of an extremely questionable guidebook, and those have historically been wrong before. I see no reason to assume that Popo ever got stronger from his debut.
