That barrier blast Gohan did was pretty slick.

So is this ROF situation that has a meaningless fight that serves no purpose beyond stalling until Goku and Vegeta arrive?

The context is that Moro's goons are looting the Earth of its valuables, so the heroes have to split up into different locations to stop them.

It's a neat way to let the ensemble have something to do before the real fight happens.

I particularly liked Gohan and Piccolo's fight. Combo-attacks was a clever way to overwhelm the copybot, and having 17 and 18 finish the job to beat the bot's recorded version of Moro's ki-stealing was a good use of their particular android traits. That was a pretty smart fight.

I still cant get over the animal people being normal people that took animal people pills.

Yeah, apparently all the animal people are just normal humans on furry drugs.

It's about as plausible as my theory, which was that a furry collected the Dragon Balls at some point in the distant past and wished for all furries to become human-animal hybrids.

So... how does that explain any kids though? Can the drugs become genetic?

Furry drugs. Toriyama is clearly trolling.

Well drug addictions can be transferred down to children if taken while pregnant.

This is the logical extension of that.

an interesting question...what happens if Ginyu uses Change on a fusion and the timer expires?

Presumably, he splits into two Ginyus when the timer expires. If he had both the knowledge and the desire to do so, he could probably abuse this to become Me's a Crowd.

An entire Force of Captain Ginyus! And their poses would be phenomenal.

Speaking of the game, it finally arrived to me today from Gamefly.

Has anyone begun playing it in major capacity?

@ Tobias Drake: Maybe he'd mode-lock instead because mentally he's not a fusion

Dragon Ball narrator, Brice Armstrong, dies at the age of 84.

He'll be missed.

The dude had a pretty good voice. I mean, listen to this:

....hold on. This isn't the narration I remember from that episode. Did they change it?

Brice Armstrong did Dragon Ball narration, not Dragon Ball Z.

R.I.P. homes. Legendary promos right there.

Also going going by the first several battles, it appears there is only one melee combo.

No chains or anything with the base button at the moment, it's just the one specific-chain of punches.

Artistic License – Biology has been in full effect since Toriyama explained Saiyan tails as a recessive trait despite Gohan being born with one and being fertile himself.

Apparently recessive means you can't ever be born with one by that logic...

Not unless Chi Chi has Saiyan ancestors. For recessive traits to be expressed, you need to inherit the gene for the trait from both parents.
