Right, right, Krillin takes forever to charge his disk.

Hmm...

At least Vegeta used it neatly? And don't forget that the Kienzan is what cut Frieza up at the end of the fight!

Honestly, Krillin should try using them as melee weapons like Naruto did with his Rasenshurikens that one time. Using them as handheld sawblades would be great.

Or for a closer example, how Ageha Yoshina did with his Melchsee's Disc!

Everyone remember's that right? Right?!

~sobbing~

Oh man, I just re-read the chapter where Yamcha used the Sokidan to see if we see what happens to it after it hits Shen, and instead saw that using the technique once completely tires him out. What a tool.

He probably just came up with it and never really trained it, thinking it was cool enough. Like Frieza's Ultimate Evolution.

Still never understood how Melchsee's Lance actually cut anything.

Now matter how down I am, now matter how I ever feel about myself, I can always remind myself "I will never be as awful as Yamcha".

He is apparently one of the greatest cooks in the world, so he has that going for him.

In the world? That's a stretch, and the comment being non-specific most likely only refers to the cast.

He's more like the greatest cock-up in the world, in that case.

Yamcha might be one of the greatest cocks in the world. He's nothing compared to Vegeta, of course, since Yamcha can't win anything, but who knows.

Well Bulma did learn why he calls it the "Big Bang Attack".

Seriously, what even WAS Yamcha? After they decided to forget about the Journey to the West comparisons, his only use was being the universe's punching bag.

Poor Yamcha...

...what do you mean "after"?

Yamcha is a hilarious joke that everyone can laugh at.

Well, he was at least a little bit of a threat. For around...half a chapter.

You always need that one guy who gets his ass kicked to show how strong someone else is. Of course after a while this loses effectiveness and you need to start using someone else.

Stronger than 100% Full Powered Frieza, but weaker than Trunks. Trunks is clearly stronger than Goku was on Namek, since 100% Frieza was able to put up some semblance of a fight for a while against him, while Mecha-Frieza did fuck all against Trunks.

Frieza would not be able to tell if he was stronger than Goku since he can't into Ki.

Also, Freeza still planned to have Cold back him up against Goku. He doesn't actually declare himself to be stronger than Goku.

Trunks wasn't said to be equal to Goku, but to have the "same ki" because they were similar enough for Gohan to confuse them.

BTW, anyone else thinks that this would been a much better design for Goku's gi? I just find it very cool.

I would have at least liked to see it used more than just a chapter cover. Could've been included in the games.

The thing about Vegeta/Bulma is that, on the one hand, you have a person that is massively entitled, smug, arrogant, used to getting what they want, and willing to go to any means necessary to achieve their goals, and kami help anyone that gets in their way.

And on the other hand, you have Vegeta.

There's really not a lot stopping Capsule Corp. from taking over the world and starting a new Saiyan empire.

Which, reminds me of my idea about the Saiyans and Tuffles cooperating.

And now you know why they're perfect for each other :V

But yea, as out of nowhere the Bulma/Vegeta ship came, I can't deny Toriyama made it work down the line, a lot more so than Bulma/Yamcha. I can't help but laugh tho, Bulma would rather be with an arrogant, destructive, borderline sociopath like Vegeta than a more or less upstanding guy like Yamcha. Who says Opposites Attract is always true.

[up]So Vegeta finally achieved his goal of taking over a planet, he just has to share it with his wife :V
