  • DENDE: I put the moon back after I realized that none of the remaining Saiyans have tails. Seriously, you have no idea the damage that was doing to your planet.
  • BULMA: ...why are you in my house?
  • DENDE: He needed a ride.
  • YAJIROBE: I have stolen two of the following things: beer, the refrigerator, cable, and the Dragon Balls. Your mission is to determine which before I am safely back at Karin's Tower.

Why is Dende the best choice to take him? Doesn't Dende have a job of some sort?

And doesn't Mr. Popo have that magic carpet? And doesn't Korrin have those Flying Nimbus clouds? Including the black one that can carry anyone Korrin wants, even if they don't have a pure heart?

Doesn't Piccolo hang around the lookout a lot?

Couldn't they have just had Goku IT in for him?

Couldn't they have called Bulma and the others beforehand? Or used telepathy?

Trick question. He put the beer in the fridge, and took that and cable.

I'm not sure which of the characters would be best to point out these inconsistencies.

Even trickier question. He also put the Dragon Balls in the fridge.

He probably also took some Mrs. Briefs clones for the road home.

...So why can't Dende sort of summon the Dragon Balls to himself?

Seems like a thing he should be able to do.

What would Yajirobe want with a dragon ball?

Just one dragon ball is basically useless.

The four-star Ball has sentimental value for Goku, so I can imagine him grabbing it every time they get used. But other than that.

What DOES Dende do actually, except hanging out on the Lookout?

The same thing God used to do.

Your guess is as good as mine as to what that actually is.

Dende spends his days using his magical powers to troll all humans in the world.

Man, Semi-Perfect Cell and Perfect Cell's voices are weird. Semi-Perfect Cell in particular sounds like Bug!Edgar.

So, question. The original source for Frieza being the "strongest in the universe" is King Kai, yes? Well, even leaving aside the Androids, who hadn't been created yet, there are several beings he ought to know about that are stronger than him. The Supreme Kais could all "defeat Frieza in one blow," and Dabura is said to be about even with Cell. Is this just Continuity Drift? Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole? Something else?

Frieza is presumably the strongest excluding higher-order gods, and Dabura's from another realm anyway.

I'm in favor of applying Continuity Drift.

Considering there was all of one Supreme Kai for like five million years and that said Supreme Kai didn't seem too likely to get involved in any events on Earth, I can buy King Kai just forgetting about him. As for Dabura... King Kai could simply just not know how strong Dabura actually is. Or maybe even think he might be dead (we don't know how long he's been with Babidi, after all).

Finally managed to complete 17 and 18's outfits. Now all that's left to do is get the upper body piece of the second 18 outfit then I will have all the available Android clothes. After that, maybe i'll go for the Saiyaman Outfit. Or Dabura's Pants.

Neither the Supreme Kais nor Dabura are in the universe. The Supreme Kais are gods and Dabura is the ruler of another dimension entirely.

"Strongest in the Universe" means the living universe, not all dimensions and parallel realities everywhere.

Nope. A person that Shenron has brought back to life can never be brought back to life by Shenron again, regardless of how it's phrased.

Porunga can, but the tradeoff is that he can't do multiple revivals. So, for instance, anyone who was killed by Nappa blowing up that city and then again killed by Cell is perma-dead.
