Hey! I resent that comparison!
I'm clearly Chaozu.

It gets you a nice hat though. I'm talking Superman Pope hat nice.
I want to steal that hat. I always have. It will be mine.
One Strip! One Strip!It was a joke that started with the Naruto thread, back when the threads had much higher activity than they used to and would frequently derail into silly discussions. Wander appointed himself Pope of the Naruto thread for reasons I can't remember, I did the Bleach thread because Bleach was my favourite of the 'big three'. I can't remember if the DB thread even existed at the time, so I'm not sure when that was added.
It wasn't based on series' knowledge, that came later and only with DB. I don't remember when I started getting that reputation, but I never claimed it for myself. I imagine it started because there were a lot of misconceptions in those days that I continously tried to correct because I don't like misconceptions and rumours flying around.
A-ny-way, Yakazu I wasn't trying to twist anythinh, I thought that Zel was referring to this
interview.
I also have tried to say before that I have not been following post-BOG content as closely and didn't want to be expected to remember that because I only cared about the original manga and stuff surrounding it. I remember that comic coming out, but I didn't look into it at the time.
So, Zel - not an unfounded rumour. Sorry for that. I had not read the comic as I thought it was based on the interview I linked earlier.
I'm not saying this to be stubborn, but I am skeptical about the gag comic since it seemingly contradicts older interviews he has done (and it's a gag - he's joked about forgetting Tao Pai Pai in an interview but said transcript of the interview showed he remembered him, but just called him a minor character).
Alright. I'll take that.
Well, ok, Zel should take that. I get nothing, but I'll live vicariously through him.
And I guess, like many characters, Tao Pai Pai is kinda minor. He ended up having some effect on the story and pushed the plot along, but like many bad guys, once he'd served his purpose, he got his walking papers.
One Strip! One Strip!Nice to get answers on the origin of the Pope title. I binged the One Piece thread and this thread, among others, before I made my account here but I never read through the Naruto thread, so that explains why I didn't know that. I honestly thought you started it and then Wander copied you, instead it was the other way around.
I'd say Taopaipai is about as important as Zarbon. That is to say, a minor villain that is remembered a bit more than other minor villains simply because they had the upper hand at one point and got a bit more screentime because of it. Maybe Taopaipai's a bit more important, since his death is a partial motivator of the next arc's antagonists.

What if you tried to take it off yourself? What then, huh?

Pushover would gloat over this given his history with Saiga.
