Damn straight. If love is gonna get me killed, then it can burn.

....... So.......Super as an opportunity to actually start using Launch again?

I mean, sure she has no purpose, but neither does Chiaoutzu (can't remember how to spell that) and definitely Yamcha so if they get to exist, why not let her back.

She can shoot at Hercule / Satan. That's make it funny again.

His Japanese name is Chaozu. For whatever reason, FUNimation decided to change his name to Chiaotzu. And change his partner's name from Tenshinhan to Tien Shinhan.

Launch could try trekking some mountain tops and go on an adventure trying to find Tien.

Ya know how Tien loves him some mountain training. tongue

I'm not sure if you guys have seen Mistare Fusion's Dragon Ball Dissection (it's on Youtube), but I'll have to agree with him and say Launch wasn't much of a loss. She really didn't do anything the entire plot. Even when she was introduced, she wasn't that important.

She's one of the characters you could just adapt out and nothing would change, not even in Dragon Ball.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

DBH God Mission 3 info leak confirms SSJ Time Patrol Bardock (if it were Time Breaker Bardock, the card would have said "Masked Saiyan" instead of "Bardock: Xeno"), Towa, Supreme Kai of Time and TWO NEW SUPREME KAIS

Considering that he's called Bardock: Xeno now, this might be a light confirmation of Xenoverse 2.

I don't care if she's still a baby in a stroller!

I mean, it's not like the last tournament arc says she can't do it at that point, right? Maybe she just doesn't want to hurt the normal humans?

Hey, it's my turn to call out Toriyama forgetting his story!

In the Bardock interview Cruherrx linked a few pages back, Toriyama says this:

To be honest, I haven’t thought it through that far, but Bardock is a low-class warrior. Although even saying that, almost all [Saiyans] were low-class warriors, and there were only about 10 mid-class warriors. And when you get to the elite warriors, there’s only King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta. Bardock is in the upper ranks as far as low-class warriors go, but he isn’t able to become a mid-class warrior.

This rank is determined by an innate latent battle power, but naturally, if their battle power rises greatly afterward, they can be promoted.

Nappa is an elite Saiyan warrior. Vegeta is a super-elite. There are four ranks, not three.

Even though Episode of Bardock makes no sense at all, I will say that surviving the explosion of an entire planet (remember, Bardock was engulf by the energy ball that did it, and then got caught in that explosion, so it's safe to say he got badly fucked up) would probably give a Saiyan an pretty nice Zenkai.

But the time travel is pretty stupid.

Given what we see of the place in Resurrection of F, it could just be that Hell is f*cking with Bardock. tongue

Unlocking Yamcha's Potential

What have I been telling y'all? Negative battle power, guys. Unlocking Yamcha's power would turn him into a black hole that consumes all power. Ki beams would be sucked into the vortex of Yamcha's energy and add to his strength. Villains would find their ki reserves draining merely by being in his proximity.

I really like Mercenary Tao. Does anyone else like Mercenary Tao? God, as cynical as I am, I bet half the good derails here come up when any given troper is drunk or high tongue

Funny you should mention tongue because he kills a man with his!

He's celebrating 20 years of assassination with a half off sale! What's not to love?

...Huh, that's a good point.

I mean, I sorta prefer the idea that it's Mira and Towa fucking with him, but.

Because I could have sworn that Online had a thing where they mentioned that Mira grabbed Bardock from a point shortly after he got hit by Frieza's Supernova. Then they brainwashed him and gave him a massive power-up. And a mask for whatever reason.

So many Bardocks.

...If Gine shows up in a thing with voice acting, would she end up being voiced by Nozawa too? I mean, I don't think Nozawa's voiced a female character in this series yet, I could be wrong.

EDIT: What would Tarble and Gure's kid look like?

EDIT: I feel like, if the Buu Saga's anime version were made after Dragon Ball Minus, it would have had Chichi, Bulma, Videl and Dabura meeting Gine in Heaven.

EDIT: I think it's a little weird how Gine's armor is pink though.

EDIT: Cosplay! So cute!

[up][up]Toriyama used a different system there, but it lines up with the manga.

Manga ranks are: low-class, elites and super elites.

Ranks Toriyama gave there are: low-class, mid-class and elites.

The same thing.

Babysitting. An old classic.

...What would Beerus be like as a babysitter?

I mean. During Battle of Gods, there's a lot of stuff that happens and almost goes wrong, but he consistently tries to stay polite and be a good guest.

He treats Bulma as a host very differently from the way he treated King Vegeta.

...I mean, King Vegeta and the Saiyans were kind of pricks. Let's be honest.

Beerus shows considerable amounts of restraint during the movie. He never actually kills anyone, or hurts them so badly that they can't get back up again afterwards.

Whis as a babysitter would probably involve a lot of food.

...He'd let Bra take her credit card and they'd head to a sushi bar, I just know it.

...Also, I'm a little disappointed that Beerus doesn't use his sweet dance moves in fights.

EDIT: I think Pan learning wrestling moves from Mr. Satan would be kind of cute.

@Tobias Drake

Maybe Vegeta promoted Nappa and gave himself an even higher ranking afterwards? I mean, with his father dead, he's technically the ruler of all Saiyans, so he can do whatever he wants.

How old are Pan and Bra again?

I just recalled that the latter is Younger than She Looks in GT (she was apparently only supposed to be 14) but I've always thought she was a little older than Pan even before that.
