So, why do I kee seeing the 'prediction' that Gohan is fighting Toppo next? Toppo vs Freeza and Dyspo vs Gohan feels much more naturally tiered

[up][up][up] I don't like her involvement in the change of Goku's origin. Instead of Goku being the runt of the liter unloved by uncaring parents apart of a race of barbaric savages whose only purpose is to be a child soldier instead his parents did love & care for him very much due to being special & sent him to Earth to protect him.

I also don't like how one of the few female Saiyan's we had at the time is pretty much a gentile benevolent house-wife whose only purpose is to be a hot wife for Bardock & a kind mom for Goku which also ends up ruining how Goku's kindness is supposed to come from him alone not his parents because now the implication is that Goku gets his good side from his mom.

That's why I don't like her AT ALL.

R.I.P. Dyspo then.

17 and Gohan vs Toppo would be really cool, tho. Gohan and Toppo hamming it up, some drama about how this 17 is so different from the one that killed Gohan , and 17 attacking someone mid dialogue again

Pfft, Vegeta figuring out something Goku didn't.

Vegeta figured out good comparatively decent parenting before Goku did.

Goku already was a good dad.

At least before Z started & Piccolo killed him.

Goku is even better at sandbagging than Vegeta.

Vegeta is better at coming up with attacks though, imo.

Again, no matter how many times it's claimed that Gine is a housewife, it will never be true. She has a JOB chopping MEAT. It's not glamorous, sure, but having a JOB disqualifies her from any accusations of house-wifery. Chi-Chi and 18 are house-wives, because they don't have jobs and they stay at home and raise kids. Gine, and for that matter Bulma, aren't house-wives because they have JOBS.

I'm not going to say that Dragon Ball Minus is perfect or great, but this specific criticism doesn't work because it is WRONG.

It is bullshit that the first canon female Saiyan we see in the entire... canon, is "She makes the food and is timid and is scared."

[up] Yes thats it exactly.

Whether its her job is irrelevant. The point of said job is to give her the feeling of being a housewife only in space for barbarian space pirates.

The fact she got said job due to being a cowardly incompetent doesn't help either.

okay but Gine has consistently shown bravery and valor in side material. the quest where you get Gine in Fusions is helping her out fighting off some saiyans when they decide to start killing other saiyans before they can go super saiyan

plus i fail to see how Gine suddenly is what made Goku "good". From day 1 Goku is described as being super violent until he was dropped on his head, making that a non factor.

I don't count side material like Fusion.

Even then I wouldn't consider it until she starts acting like a proper Saiyan. Take notes from Cauli in that regard, now that is a real Saiyan woman. [tup]

Just sheer the implication is enough. They always like doing the mom makes you kind bullshit & we might get that here eventually.

I definitely agree that Gine is cool in Fusions, especially when fused with Towa.

Literally in Jaco, where Gine was introduced, Goku was still a rowdy and uncontrollable kid before the head bonk.

Why would Vegeta retire? He's the second strongest character there. If nothing else Goku needs someone to fuse with to really lay down the smackdown.

He spent most of his time as Nappa and Vegeta's third. Anyone would be pretty terrible after that.

Because Dragonball Minus is the worst thing the franchise has ever produced (and yes, I'm including Evolution in that).

Technically its the right crowd Saiyan-wise. He was taught well the way of the Saiyan........ well he missed tail safety day though.

[up]x5 Because his only reason for fighting & training is to surpass Goku. He doesn't train for self-improvement, he trains just to be better than him which is an impossible dream so he should give up if that's his only reason for staying in shape.

He was temporarily better than Goku during Ro F. I mean, it was pretty brief, but it was something. He was also better during the Cell Arc briefly.

Either way, for Vegeta I think after the Buu arc it got to being about the Journey rather than the destination.

Vegeta retiring would be the last thing Bulma wants. If you think he can be grumpy now, imagine how insufferable he'd be if he didn't spend most of his time blowing of steam by punching stuff.

Goku will better than everyone so Vegeta should focus on his own training rather than Goku.
