...you're just trying to annoy me now, right? Yeah...

Anyway, I wasn't speaking of the anime filler. I was just thinking in terms of logical gains from the training he did compared to other characters. He did the same training that got Goku 20 times stronger, but he was there longer, had sparring partners, and didn't waste time learning techniques. So he should have received a much larger boost than Goku, and went there with a power level of 1,480. He then trained for the androids, and should get comparable gains to base Goku. He should at least be pushing 60,000+, while Recoome and co are around 40,000.

That's pretty respectable considering that the king and strongest warrior of one the galaxy's most feared warrior races was far, far, faaaaaaar less than 18,000, and a typical elite among them was only 4,000.

Anyway, favorite characters? The four Buus, King Piccolo, Saiyan/Namek Vegeta, Imperfect Cell, Freeza, Mr. Satan, and Piccolo. Of these, Super Buu is probably my favorite among favorites.

It was just to annoy you, yeah.note  tongue

My favorite characters... that's sorta hard to decide. I know Super Buu is my favorite villain (And thus likely my favorite character; villains are always more interesting than heroes). I am fond of Buu-saga Gohan, even if he winds up being totally useless.

On your note: no problem with that, but that's just a personal canon, so can't really be used in an argument or something.

Buu Saga Gohan wasn't completely useless. He failed, yeah, but if he hadn't been around Buu would have just killed Gotenks and blown up the planet, then all the other planets and the sun. That, and the majority of the power in the final Genki Dama that killed Buu was his, as heavily implied by Goku's statement. That and some basic math.

So he's probably more useful than anyone else in this arc. Far more useful than Goku and Vegeta at least. They released Buu, and so should be in the negatives in "usefulness points".

I think we have to give some level of discrediting to anime filler, though. Otherwise Yamcha is stronger than Cell (Yamcha > Olibu ~< Pikkon >>> Cell).

And that's just plain wrong.

My favorite characters would have to be Gohan, Krillin, Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Frieza, Chi-Chi, Trunks, Master Roshi, and Cell.

...who's "Bills"?

@Anom: it's all about picking and choosing what you want in your own canon. Which most people have as the manga plus a few other things.

Also, that filler doesn't suggest Yamcha > Cell. Just Yamcha > base Cell Games Goku. Which is still retarded, but you know, that's why it's not in MY canon. See no problem with the other bone Yamcha got in filler though.

Bonus: least favorite characters

Goku, Vegeta, Perfect Cell, 17, 18, Future Trunks, Beers, Goten, Trunks, Vegetto.

His name is Beerus (where the hell did "Bills" come from? That's completely made-up and not even close to his real name). But I call him Beers sometimes just to piss people off.

I like most of GT's characters (At least once the Baby saga starts). They're not the problem with GT.

I like Rilldo, Baby, and most of the Shadow Dragons. I also like the GT version of Uub, even if he winds up being like Buu Saga Gohan.
