[up][up] Freeza is a psychopath, with some dosage of narcissism. Real people with Antisocial Personality Disorder also tend to show a cartoonishly swallow drive, seeing other people as things rather than equals. Good at reading emotions but not at understanding them.

It seems to be In the Blood as well, as NOBODY from that lineage deviated much from that. From Chilled to Cell, everybody was a self-centered asshole who saw others as playthings.

I wonder where the rest of Frieza's race is. Maybe his ancestors killed the rest and now only his bloodline exists as the sole survivors?

The Freeza clan is a thing in the games...

I know that, but it's not like the games are canon to the series.....

Ya know something that amuses me is that I have no recollection of ever watching the Super 17 Arc. I recall Baby & the Shadow Dragons yet I can't remember shit of Super 17 to the point every reminder shocks me.

What's funny is that from what I hear its the worst arc of GT.

What was so bad about the Super 17 Arc?

Also, it's not really explained how the doctors built a second Android 17 while in Hell, or how the androids knew to find each other, or why they could fuse and become so much stronger.

To be fair, that is something vegeta would probably say.

It a goofy line, tho o_o

And I feel like the other stuff I put underneath it was in answer to the question of "what was wrong with the Super 17" arc.

Other then that stuff the only thing I didn't like about it was how forgettable it was. I can't remember how they actually beat him, only that 17 felt bad or something and let Goku finish him.

IIRC, it ended with 18 locking him into infinitely draining her ki blasts (which was going to kill her, for some reason, except it didn't), letting base Goku, BASE Goku, use a Dragon Fist to punch through his body and vaporize him with a Kamehameha fired from the other side.

Doesn't 18 have infinite energy?

Ah. I could have sworn there was something about 17 letting the barrier down or something. Guess I was wrong.

So yeah, seriously number 17, what the sh't?

I officially don't know which series was worse with power scaling.

That's why it's great.

(which was going to kill her, for some reason, except it didn't)

Going by that clip above it looks like it's just an expression. A sign of her resolve, or maybe 17 would literally kill her if she didn't lock him down.

Building a second 17 out of a box of scraps in literal hell isn't that much more impressive than building multiple robots stronger than the apparent literal emperor of the entirety of all of space in the first place.

Only question would be where he'd get the materials to build a perfect replica in Hell in the first place..

I don't remember, why was the original 17 going along with that plan exactly? And how did they get him involved in the first place?

[up]He's a cyborg. There's probably all sorts of gadgets in his brain to hack into.

I vaguely recall that the synchronicity between 17s let them both control the original and also rip open hell

It's kind of a neat setting idea sorta

I forget, what was Dr. Gero's (and that other guy) overall goal? What were they trying to accomplish with the two 17s?

To escape hell and get revenge on Goku I think

Both Dr Myuu and Dr Gero end up independently betrayed and killed by Super 17 because historical precedent, I guess. Although Myuu betrayed Gero first because GT.
