Why do you watch/read this if you hate the main character?

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Satan Hercule is main character? He's been absent for over 200 episodes.

....

Is that directed at me?

Or is that a joke about Satan being the main characters since everyone thinks he beat Cell and Buu?

Cause if it's the latter, then sorry about ruining the joke.

He's a better hero than Goku. At least he saved the Earth when Goku let it get blown up.

Mr. Satan doesn't drag out fights in order to sate his own selfish desires.

That's why he's a superior hero to Goku.

Nope. Vegeta draws them out to sate his ego, Goku draws them out to get the most out of the fight.

Both of them do it.

Randomness is glad the reanimated that HoT scene...that exaggerated expression from the original on Trunks screaming looked ridiculous.

Also it looked like they very, very, very, subtly referenced the Bojack movie.

And Boo's been on Earth for millions of years.

Cell was grown and incubated and hatched on Earth. By an Earth scientist. And Piccolo was also hatched on Earth. And raised by human parents. Before he killed them, I mean.

Cell would be a citizen if petri dishes had rights.

Bibidi left the sealed ball cocoon thing Buu was in on Earth for five million years.

That's. Kinda a long time? Like. Longer than human have been a species. Buu could probably legitimately claim that he was here first, given we hadn't even evolved into us by that point.

Hell yes!

[up]

Truthfully, I'd just like to see two female character of equal or near equal levels (though 18 would need to be powered up, or Zangya nerfed) fight each other. It's something that's never happened in the series.

I know it's not going to happen, nor does it have any reason to happen beyond my enjoyment of two women fighting each other, but I figure there's no harm in hoping.

And if there is, then I hope it happens to people I don't like.

I like Satan as a character post-Character Development, though I'm not a fan of the "the heroes join the tournaments and then throw them so Satan can stay champion" stuff.

Though admittedly I'm not sure how canon that is, I just hear it spoken of as if its canon a lot.

Damn. I totally want Bojack to be canon...and then him and his minions get revived.

Then have Android 18 fight Zangya...

Been playing a lot of Budokai Tenkaichi, eh?

Ironically enough no.

I have not played a Dragon Ball Z fighting game since the original Budokai. And that didn't last long, as I just don't play fighting games at all that much any more.

I have caught some videos however.

Actually, I'm rather unsure of where Zangya stands with relation to 18.

Mostly because she doesn't transform and she doesn't beat a Super Saiyan by herself, so we don't really know if she's stronger or weaker than 18.

I mean, I'd expect her to be on the same level as the others, but I also thought that 17's boast of being stronger than 18 was bullshit (still think it is, but just a different kind of bullshit).

She's at the least on par or in the ball park of a full power super saiyan.

18, on the other hand, is only stronger than an untrained Super Saiyan.

It is true that we never see her fight anyone one on one, so it's hard to tell. There's always been a blanket belief that she's stronger since she's a movie villain (in one of the few movies that could conceivably be canon) that comes after a the Cell arc, which, but the nature of the Sorting Algorithm of Evil, means she has to be stronger than the previous villains or at the least, about as strong as them.

Add in Gohan's tendency to hold back and find it hard to summon his full power a lot, and I now realize it's possibly murkier than I thought.
