...Did you seriously just try and shoot me a bullet? Like, that's more ineffective than anything else in the universe.

Now excuse me, I'm going to have to ask all of you to duck. Because I'm going to turn around, and I don't want to smack all of you with my dick.

I love in, in those You Tube videos comparing the various dubs, they always include DBZA.

I like how they gave Trunks' fur a slightly-purplish hue to the red.

You know, that reminds me of something: How come Gohan was the only Half-Saiyan to have a tail? How come Goten and Trunks didn't have one?

Maybe they were born with them and they were just removed before we saw them. Or without the presence of the moon they just didn't grow? There are a lot of theories about that but it basically boils down to it doesn't really matter.

In theory they could have had theirs removed.

I don't think it's ever explicitly said they were born without one.

I could have sworn Buu Saga is over the course of like a week. I think Goku took a year for his to grow back one time as a kid.

And it seemed like Kami could remove a tail once permanently.

So. So there's options is what I'm saying.

#12665: Mar 26th 2015 at 2:00:50 PM

1. Majin Buu (primarily Fat Buu)
2. Taopaipai (such a badass villain in a then-comedy manga)
3. Tenshinhan (strongest human wink)
4. Yajirobe (if you can't tell, I love comic characters who can still kick ass)
5. Dr. Gero (mad science and hax FTW)
6. Budokai Announcer (I just love that he didn't forget the heroes when near everyone else did)
7. King Kai (my favorite of Goku's senseis, with the coolest techniques)
8. Piccolo Daimao (the original Big Bad)
9. Chi-chi (mainly for her role pre-Z)
10. Raditz (favorite Saiyan)

Captain Ginyu just got edged out at #11. He's probably my 4th-favorite member of his own squad, but the team as a whole is top-5 material for me.

My top ten:

  1. Goku
  2. Bulma
  3. Krillin
  4. Piccolo
  5. Freeza
  6. Gohan
  7. Vegeta
  8. Majin Buu
  9. Piccolo Daimao
  10. Mr. Satan

There were a few times when it was really easy, some times when it was hard because both characters were great, and some times when it was hard because I hated both choices. XD Most notably Cell, who I've publicly railed against many, many times.

"Cell vs. Piccolo? Hah, easy. Cell vs. Nappa? Again, easy. Cell vs. Trunks? Come on, give me a hard one. Cell vs. Dr. Gero? ...oh, f*ck you."

I ran it but I forgot what my results were.

Is it bad that several of my votes were influenced by DBZA?

Yeah. I wound up voting Tien down a lot more than I expected I would largely because he's just not as entertaining as Yamcha and Krillin, and stopped having much of anything to contribute to the story after completing his character arc in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

Yamcha is hilarious in his ineptitude, Piccolo had character stakes in the proceedings all the way through the series, and even after they lost any ability to be relevant to the plot, Bulma and Krillin were able to ride on their strong character relationships with those characters who were still moving the story.

Tien's loner status really worked against him. He had no solid emotional connection with anyone else in the cast save for Chiaotzu - whose sole emotional connection was Tien. He never gained anything new to motivate him back into plot focus like Piccolo did by picking up Gohan. He was too stoic and serious to be particularly entertaining to watch either. For most of the series, he and Chiaotzu were just sort of there. They wandered off to go Mountain Train for the rest of their lives after the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, only returning to be faces in the ensemble during crises, and if they'd just stayed gone and never come back, very little would be different.

So I'm watching Kai and I have to wonder something: Why did they leave in the interlude with Frog!Ginyu and Bulma? Especially when we're right in the middle of Goku vs Frieza.

Goten and Trunks are a different kind of hybrid than Gohan. They weren't born with tails, according to a Daizenshu.

Theory is that this has something to do with Goku and Vegeta having mastered Super Saiyan by the time they were conceived.
