That would mean Bulma got eaten by a dinosaur. Meanwhile, never having made their way in the martial arts world, Tien is a famous actor in several triclops-themed horror movies, Krillin is a successful Turtle Wax salesman (he demonstrates the product's usefulness to clients using his head), Yajirobe is a world-renowned plus-size model, and Yamcha died of dehydration somewhere in the desert at the age of seventeen.

The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]

You know, though it was all around WTF moment in the series

The expressions on all of their faces makes it worth it.

I like how Buu looks Piccolo in the eyes while doing that, as if to say "Well, wish granted. Like it?"

That really is an extraordinary villain moment.waii

And that is why Buu is my favorite villain in the series. Well, Kid Buu, but same difference.

And now let's hear it for the ballsiest woman in Dragon Ball...

And I'm pretty sure this was after Buu killed the rest of Earth's population.

Nope. Before. Buu killed everyone on Earth because Piccolo wanted to stall so Goten and Trunks could have time to fuse.

I do like how death is so cheap that "let the villain kill off the entire human population just to stall for time" is actually a legitimate and consequence-free tactic. tongue

Not exactly consequence free when people experience death and remember it after resurrection. Though presumably those memories would fade 6 months later when they wished away Boo's memory.

Plus heaven seems to be a pretty chill place for them in the meantime, so I can't imagine it's TOO traumatic for that time.

They don't remember heaven, only dying.

Hmm? So until the whole Buu fiasco is erased later, they remember dying and then poofing back into existence later, and nothing in between?

Going off the Cell arc, that's what happens. They wake up on Earth and their last memories are their gruesome death.

Ah.

But the heroes who get wished back to life like Goku or Nappa's victims remember?

I don't think it's made clear what happens to the heroes who don't get back their bodies, but the ones who do get their bodies back remember.

Buu definitely killed Chi-Chi after exterminating the rest of humanity.

Yeah, Goten and Trunks are on their way into sneaking into the room when they notice Chi Chi confront Boo.

The worst BEST part of it is how Piccolo was likely agonizing over making such a choice because he was basically giving Buu a free card for Genocide, and Buu just goes, Lol nope! and kills everyone in seconds.

When the heroes are thinking: Oh shit, he was supposed to take his time killing them all!! you know things have gotten weird.

Nightmare Fuel.

Big pink light comes down from the sky and impales you through the chest. Game over. Not even the undersea submariners survived. How on earth did Buu track that many humans just by glancing over the side of the Lookout?

He paced around the lookout, I believe. And he's damn good at ki sensing, given that immediately upon forming he knew the people he wanted were at the lookout.

Yeah. Buu shows just how terrifying it is when the villain can Sense Chi as well and has an imagination.

If Cell had cared enough to try, he might have been able to do the same thing.

Then again, Cell didn't have any original techniques, so he might not have had much imagination....

Huh. That's an interesting topic right there.

I think the Ginyu Force are one of the funniest antagonists, especially Jeice.

Recoome is the funniest. And that's not even taking his Dragon Ball Abridged persona into account.

....Wait. Actually Captain Ginyu might be funnier, while also not bringing in his abridged persona.

This

is awesome, but it brings up the awkward question of why Android 18 didn't go back out trough his tail?

Because seeing him upchuck 18 is less silly than seeing him poop 18?

[up]

That wouldn't be pooping....

I think. It's his tail, not his ass.

Can Cell even poop?

....Should I even be asking that question?
