He contributed to a lot of fights before that, but was never the actual victor (unless you count Garlic Jr).

Cell really is his greatest moment.

Meaning he peaked so hard after just one truly amazing moment in the spotlight.

Sad really.

At least he had a moment like that.

But this is Dragonball, in which death has no lasting consequences.

So I'm re-watching episode 18 via the dub...

How did Goku Instant Transmission himself to Whis to move that orb when he shouldn't be able to sense Whis' ki?

Taking a shot in the dark here, but did anyone else think Rumushii chose all ten competitors for the U10 team by gathering thousands of different meatheads, put them all in a single file line, and then pick out the required number purely from the ones at least smart enough to not to make fun of his angel? XD

I'd be more inclined to make fun of Rumushii himself. That elephant trunk makes him look downright ridiculous.grin

Zamasu didn't had a high opinion on that guy. He was the north Kai, remember, he saw many civilizations that Rumsshi didn't destroy for being a lazy ass.

Jeez, another lazy Go D.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

Inferred from Zamasu's general outlook on things, I think. He thought the Babarians should have been destroyed, and that would be the God of Destruction's job.

You think Zamasu was supposed to be right in that scene?

You guys care too much about power levels. I think they hold back anyone that's not a Saiyan from contributing in fights. And while you could retire Goku and Vegeta(which I wish they would) for Trunks and Vegeta, it's not going to happen.

Man. Tien. Don't even know what to say. Before Goku showed up he was doing so well too. Dude had his own dojo, respect of his students, and a peace of mind. And then in just one episode Goku bankrupts him by putting all of his food on Tien's 's tab and Gohan beats the shit of out of him. Through the whole episode Tien looked shell shocked. At this pace before they leave for the tournament I'm expecting Vegeta to give Tien's forehead eye the pinkeye and kick him out team shouting "you just got saiyan swerved!"

Zamasu was in the wrong about the Babarians needing to be destroyed only because they are a bunch of dumb brutes only dangerous to each other, but in the right that the Gods are lazy judging by Rumushi's characterization.

Judging by most of the characterizations, it seems a frequent character flaws of all the Gods of Destruction under rank 4 besides Belmod is Sloth in some shape and/or capacity.

I'm guess that's spite towards Tien fans.

I don't like it (even if I agree they are out of control), but I suppose it can't be helped.

I wish. TFS and other things have actually made me dislike the character more, when I actually used to think he was kinda cool.

I don't care what fans or other interpretations say or do.

I'm gonna like or hate Tien on his own merits.

...I still like his moment with against Semi Perfect Cell. I don't care how much it did or didn't do. I thought it was cool.

That's all I got to say. Anyone who wants to dislike or like it is free to do so. I ain't changing any minds, nor do I intend to.

Tien was the star of my favorite arc in all of Dragonball. (22nd Tournament/Budokai) He gave us an awesome fight and had nice character development.

Eriorguez Since: Jun, 2009
#57124: May 14th 2017 at 4:51:49 PM

Disliking Tien seems to be memetic, at least in this thread.

Anyway, I like his character. Guy has a passion for martial arts, gets outclassed soon enough, but keeps working anyway, doesn't pretend to be anything he isn't, and even manages to buy time in the least expected way. Neat to have around, and kudos at what he did even as far back as the King Piccolo arc.

But apparently you aren't supposed to like him or whatever, because of reasons.
