Admittedly, it's kinda cool that Goku punched the same place he was stabbed in as a baby and oh my god that sounds like hilariously villainous behavior.

I thought he got stabbed in the neck.

Also, one good thing I can say about that movie: whoever drew the backgrounds did an excellent job. [tup]

We don't get shown the stabbing, as far as I recall, and if you stab a baby in the neck... well, congratulations, you've just decapitated it. Unless you stab it with a needle, but then, why are you doing that anyway?

...

I'd like to remind you that stabbing babies is evil behavior and you shouldn't do it. 'Cause drugs are bad. Mmmkay.

We saw a silhouette of it, but it wasn't very clear.

But yeah, you're probably right.

What if you have to perform surgery? Surgery is generally performed by stabbing and cutting, is it not?

That's why surgery on a baby is very rare and dangerous.

I just watched Battle of Gods again because that movie is so fucking awesome. The sequence during the final fight where "HERO ~Song of Hope~" kicks in has to be one of my all time favorites sequences ever. Hell, the entire movie is easily my second favorite movie.

Regarding Vegeta: So he's The Comically Serious?

And I honestly enjoyed the Broly movie at the start. Mostly because there was a lot of intrigue at the beginning. The heroes were being duped, and it was only a matter of time before they worked it out and the battle began. It actually didn't start with fighting, and that's what made it stand out, I think.

So sorry to interrupt whatever is being discussed now but I need help with something.

I know Saiga can probably hook me up but can anyone post those Toriyama quotes that: A) say Yamcha cheated on Bulma and B) Yamcha never got with another woman after Bulma.

I've seen them both in here but I need the actual quotes for someone elsewhere.

We're discussing how the world hates Yamcha and how bullshit it is and I just wanted to show how AT himself is right on board the hate train.

The interview doesn't say that he never got with another women, but that he's still looking by the manga's end. He mentions a girlfriend after the Cell Games.

Cheater, Still searching.

And it's kinda silly to say Toriyama hates him on those two things.

So Toriyama forgot about the baseball I guess.

I still think it's weird that King Kai still has his halo in Battle of Gods.

I mean, they wished back everyone killed by Cell.

The only explanation is that Shenron considered King Kai to have been killed by Goku instead.

[up] Wasn't it said somewhere that King Kai chose to remain dead? Or is that just a theory as to why he stayed dead?

What started out as a pleasant afternoon of drugs and surgery has not gone as planned.

Oh, one thing I noticed about Battle of Gods is that Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 lost their lightning aura for some reason.

Goku says Kaio chose to accompany him in heaven, in the manga.

[up] Toei doesn't always animated the lightning.

@ Saiga

Thanks for the prompt reply and links. That second quote isn't nearly as bad as I remember it being so i retract my statemetn about AT hating him.

I don't understand how people can dispute Toriyama being forgetful and arbitrary when it's something he admits about himself.

I mean. Why is that a thing?

Why have we had conversations that have gone "Toriyama forgot" "no he didn't, how dare you, shut up"?

That's sorta hyperbole and strawmaning I guess, but.

I think it's cool that Toriyama is able to recognize things about himself.

That is definitely strawmanning.

The problem is that people tend to jump to "Toriyama forgot" without any evidence or even in spite of contrary evidence.
