The reason Gero didn't create Androids powerful enough to blow up the Earth back in Dragonball was because he hadn't invented the infinite energy reactors that 16, 17 and 18 run on. He was even still developing those by the time Trunks showed up to kill Frieza.

So yeah. Infinite energy reactors > some alien mutant.

Going back to the Spirit Bomb, I've just realized that it's massively badass that the technique which destroyed what all of the Kaioshins' techniques couldn't... was created by a lower "Kaio." Just another reason to love King Kai smile

So, is this Dragon Ball Minus thing canon? It was written by Toriyama himself, but seems to have some contradictions.

[up][up][up] That's the AB Group dub, which changes a shitload of techniques to the Kamehameha (and Piccolo to "Big Green" for some reason) xD

You'd be surprised at the truly horrible dubs floating around, not all of which made for the sake of comedy.

Can't have done too much to him, though, considering he lasted long enough to have survived against the androids.

Everything has contradictions.

Even real life.

Just look at Quantum physics and string theory.

I mean, there are plenty of criticisms to be made for sure, but.

"Contradiction" isn't really a good one.

No, I think contradictions are a perfectly fine thing to criticize.

I don't see how the real life thing defends it at all, this is fiction. Internal consistency is simply not that hard and it looks either lazy or like poor ability when a writer can't achieve that.

It's fine that you don't care about contradictions at all. It's pretty silly to think others shouldn't.

@HT There is no officially laid out Dragon Ball canon, really.

It's pretty silly to think that contradictions matter in and of themselves.

Fiction should not be expected to make more logical sense than the actual physical universe.

I mean. Fiction isn't just gossip about imaginary people. It's imitation.

"The problem with contradictions is that they are likely to be points in which the reader is led to make incorrect interpretive decisions for reasons having nothing to do with misdirection or surprise."

Reminder that piccolo is a better father and now grandfather than goku ever was:

Bulma: Hey, Bulma here! Just 25 days to go until the premiere! Today Videl’s come over!

Videl: Hello! Is this a good idea, Bulma? I’m not really anybody important…

Bulma: Don’t worry about it! It’s been pretty much all men so far, so it was turning into a pigsty around here! But never mind that, how’s Pan doing?

Videl: She’s fine, thanks for asking. And so cute…! Gohan absolutely adores her.

Bulma: I’m sure Gohan will make a great father.

Videl: Oh, and sometimes Piccolo stops by to play with her.

Bulma: ……?! Piccolo!? Well, as long as he doesn’t teach her the Makankosappo or anything bad like that…

Videl: Don’t even joke about that, Bulma!

Piccolo: …………………..
