Manga/Dragon Ball

Shenron spent, what, a few centuries without being summoned before Goku and co. Entered the scene?

I'm actually gonna put the blame on Dende. Since you have to make your wish in Namekian, Dende may have translated poorly.

He's like a Fan Translator.

Maybe Porunga figured if he just dropped Piccolo there he'd catch a case of the deads way faster. Instead he dropped him off near Nail.

I mean. You have a point. Things did work out better with the mixup.

I like having the eternal dragons care for their planets.

I just assume the dragons aren't mind readers and try not to be literal genies but sometimes don't know what people actually want and get things wrong.

"Go to Namek, simple enough."

The fact that Shenlong often has to ask for clarification (and even had one wish he flat out wasn't sure he couldn't grant when he was asked to revive everyone on Namek) would line up with 's post.

I just remembered: It was actually Dende not understanding Kuririn's wish. When Kuririn wonders where Piccolo is, Dende gets flustered and says he didn't know bringing them to Namek means bringing them right there.

So not Porunga's fault at all! Even if he could read minds, Dende's is empty.

As an aside - Even though I know Kuririn is technically the correct name, I bumped so hard reading it. I always do.

This guy agrees with me on Vegeta's winning record against Goku.

Man, it's so weird to realize that Goku has never actually beaten Vegeta, despite Vegeta being so jealous of him.

I wonder if anyone has considered wishing on Shenron or Porunga to improve their ability to grant wishes. Wishing for More Wishes with extra steps

Maybe. It might be a wish that exceed the power of the ball's creator (either Porunga or Shenron) so I'd expect only Super Shenron could pull it off....and gathering the Super Dragonballs is literally a god like effort.

Also, a video I watched (which I can't post a link to because of one scene that's legitimately not right) made an interesting point that none of us have brought up.

Ox King is (or was) a King.

Chi chi is (or was) a Princess.

Goku married Chi chi....which means he's a Prince as well.

So all those times Vegeta made a big deal of being Royalty, but Goku himself is royalty through marriage.

I'm not surprised it rarely gets brought up, considering how humbly the Son family lives (and that they apparently used up their entire fortune some time before the events of Super), but that one blows my mind.

And royalty of a place that still exists

I'm sure that one village he conquered was quite the "kingdom".

Vegeta comes from a long line of royal genocidal maniacs while Goku is just a low class warrior.

Correction: He's a bottom-tier boy.

Consistency be darn-it.

That looks so ugly, there was no reason to make the colored chapters black and white.

I'll never understand why they do this for volume releases. If anything, you should splurge a bit more on those I think.

I mean feeding saiyans is not cheap.

The reason is that it's cheaper to print in black-and-white than in colour.

With most of the book being in black and white, they weren't going to bother with colour for the few pages that had them.

How powerful is Good Buu right now?

Shouldn’t he have God Ki since he’s the result of absorbing a supreme Kai?

Or did he lose all that when he was ripped out of Super Buu?

Kid Buu (and by extension Uub) got Grand Supreme Kai’s God ki somehow. That was covered in the manga’s Moro arc.

Cool, Buu gets to do something once in a while besides be a jerk and job.

Didn’t somebody in the Dragon World successfully wish to be a king? It would explain their weird history… that and everybody loves kings.

Latest fan trend: put Foghorn Leghorn into every other work of fiction. He’s already been in the Cell saga twice. But as far as I’m concerned he can be in whatever story arc he wants. “Now you listen here, son, I got me a tail, and just cuz it’s finer’n any headdress on a Vegas showgirl don’t mean I need to be showin it aroun whether some whippersnapper asks to see it or not, any more than you gotta show off that tasty lookin poop color jumbo worm you got dangling there tryin to trip up your leg. You tuck that in your pants, boy, fore I take a nip off it. Now don’t you go askin folks for comparison neither less you lookin for some disa- I say- disappointment; why there’s folks with tails make mine look like a washed up old feather duster. You tie those pants higher, son, I’ll join you. By the way, you got any bigger pants lyin aroun?”

Good Buu didn’t get the God chi, Uub did. The extended universe loves the Demon Realm though, and Buu literally ate their king. Just because he’s dead doesn’t mean Buu should get nothing. Also, apparently, Good Buu has that former Supreme Kai somewhere in his subconscious, possibly able to act as a guide.

Why does Uub get the god ki when Kid Buu was pure unadulterated original Buu?
