He dominated the song and dance world! He's not just the Prince of all Saiyans, he's the King of Song and Dance!

Broly better watch out, Vegeta's on his way to ruling the danceing world and he's not looking to share the spot

I also hate the notion that people think that Goku spared Vegeta's life because he knew he could change. That's not what happened, guys! Goku spared him because of a selfish desire to fight him again. He flat-out SAYS that's the case!

Tell me Vegeta didn't throw everything away for a last glorious fight, and then watch as I call you a liar by pointing you to the fact that Vegeta willingly became Majin Vegeta.

He did.

It's not the last thing he did before he died.

And it doesn't seem like he intended to die when he did it.

If there hadn't been anything else more important to both Goku and Vegeta to interrupt them, they would've fought to the death. Simply because Vegeta wouldn't have stopped until he'd very definitely won or he was dead.

He wasn't intending to die, he was intending to win that fight, but even if he had won, chances are he would've died immediately afterwards anyway. Either killed by Dabura in his weakened state or killed by Majin Buu later. Vegeta didn't throw everything out intending to die, but he was going into a situation where there really was no other outcome.

While Vegeta sacrificing himself was a great moment in character development, it just shows he's Wrong Genre Savvy. In Dragon Ball, blowing yourself up NEVER works. It can even fail to kill YOU!

It worked against Yamcha.

Shit, what a useless technique.

Oh please.

Working against Yamcha doesn't prove the technique is useless. It just prove he sucks.

I swear, Yamcha is the Hitler Ate Sugar of arguments. People think pointing out how much he sucks proves everything.

So.

I think I read a thing where Tien specifically has a technique for blocking Kamehamehas.

Which helps that one Z Soul make sense.

...And also. I mean, damn.

[up][up]I don't think Saiga was being serious.

[up]Was there audio distortion or was that how it actually sounded, his voice seemed way off.

I think people are distorting the audio on clips they upload to dodge automatic copyright detection.

I watched an episode of Bleach where Ichigo and Rukia sounded like they were inhaling helium. Hilarious, but totally killed the mood of their ice rink rendezvous.

[up][up] Yeah, Ten says the KHH won't work on him and demonstrates this my deflecting Yamcha's. So obviously the technique doesn't work.

I thought he did it to Roshi and Goku and Krillin too.

I could have sworn Roshi said that the Kamehameha, no matter how powerful, doesn't work on Tien.

In the anime, maybe he does? In the manga no one tries it after Yamcha fails, because they still put too much stock in Yamcha.

Yamcha failing doesn't prove shit, unless all the other dudes pwned by the Kamehameha were just faking it.

Would they really have a reason to not take Tien's word on it? It's not like that was a matter of martial arts skill or knowhow.

I assume that Kamehameha was fairly powerful (for the time) and if he did what he claimed, the only one who would really have a reason to think he could get passed it was Goku, probably.

I like to imagine Tien's technique would have worked on Cell and Buu if he'd been prepared and had the reaction time.

Which he didn't, considering he could barely follow Goku and Cell's fight.

It stops any and every Kamehameha in Xenoverse. And Xenoverse rides the Yamcha Pain Train pretty damn hard, so them not taking the opportunity to make him look worse by having the technique fail on non-Yamcha Kamehamehas probably means the technique really is that good.

Speaking of Xenoverse: Did you know that using Special Beam Cannon on a Great Ape will always send it into vulnerable mode in one shot?

I have a message from another time...

I kinda like how Gohan's super power has basically always been his mother's temper.

Goku doesn't get angry that often, or to that extreme. Gohan got it from somewhere.

This non-sequitur may or may not have been prompted by a thing about the Cell games.

On a related note, Mr. Satan's ego defeated Cell.

With some help from Android 16.

And some kid.

Mr. Satan's ego is the most powerful thing in the series.

Mr. Satan's ego is 20 to Whis's 15 and Beerus's 10 and Super Saiyan God's 6.

Mr. Satan's ego is also a great deal more powerful than Mr. Satan himself, naturally.

I dunno. I mean, Mr. Satan was able to defeat Cell and Android 18 quite handily.

I just thought Gohan's temper was because of Beware the Nice Ones. He's so timid most of the time, so when he gets pissed off, he gets REALLY pissed off.
