I have to ask, but did Piccolo have a weird speech pattern in the Viz dub, because I remember seeing one of the Viz Bigs at a Barnes & Nobles years ago for the first few chapters of the Saiyan Saga, and I think Piccolo was referring to himself in the third person.

Yes, early Viz Z gives him a really pompous manner of speech. It doesn't last very long.

Real fans read the untranslated version. tongue

I've never even read the original manga, translated or not.

If any of you guys wanted to bring back any Dragon Ball character that disappeared for some reason, who'd you bring back? I'm including the anime and video game characters too.

Ozotto seemed interesting, albeit OP with the shapeshifting and whatnot.

I say Grandpa Gohan, just so that he could meet Gohan.

Yes, he needs a fourth movie where he defeats a Beers-Goku Potara fusion by poking him with his pinky finger.

While Beerku is using Kaioken x1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000?

While he's also got the Shadow Dragon Balls empowering him.

And Broly accidentally fused with Yamcha earlier that day, too. tongue

It would reduce Broly's power level by a lot, but not enough for Beerku to win. tongue

But on a different note, the Wolf Fang fist and Spirit Ball would actually be useful for a change.

So in other words, he's only good as fodder material for a Fusion.

Sounds about right....

Wait? Don't I like Yamcha?sad

....Ah fuck. Who am I even kidding? There's no point in liking him anyway. Everyone will just point out how much he sucks.

No, he's bad as fusion fodder. He'd make Broly weaker. tongue

I remember there was a compilation of beam struggles in Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2. One of them was Yamcha's Spirit Ball vs. Super Saiyan 3 Broly's Omega Buster. Yamcha won.

I want more Tiencha, too. He only appeared in one game! Even Gokule was in DBH!

Celipa/Fasha, because a female Super Saiyan is the only way a female character would ever be able to stay relevant in this show.

Did the anime make Cold sound stronger than he was? I know that it tried to say he was stronger than Freeza, but right after Ten/Vegeta said that, Gohan said that Freeza wasn't anywhere near his full power at that moment. So he's not stronger even there. The Ginyus don't know about him, and even if they did it doesn't seem like they factor in Freeza to any of their comparisons, so they wouldn't do the same with other members of the royal family. Freeza at least said he'd be a help against SS Goku, which places him somewhere in the tens of millions.

I'd have liked to see more of Super Buu. He isn't around for all that long, doesn't get any good what-if stories, and due to the way he was formed and defeated doesn't even appear in Hell filler/GT or anything like that.

Celipa wouldn't be relevant. She was weaker than Raditz and has been dead for decades.

Neither of which has ever stopped anyone from suddenly being able to fight the latest villain to a standstill. Death is meaningless and the show passes out huge power-ups to the protagonists like candy.
