I'm going to enjoy the mook killing sequence in Revival of F for pure Rule of Cool and enjoy the fact that other characters are relevant for once...even if it had to break established canon to do so.

[up][up] Speaking as a religious man, anyone who gets up-in-arms at Dragon Ball for religious regions likely isn't someone you'd want to associate with anyway. Also, Majin Buu didn't enact the Rapture, he just flat out killed everyone on Earth.

In the 2008 special the human fighters had the distinguished role of fighting inanimate objects.

...And, according to Online and Xenoverse, Buu can get stronger if he trains.

So what you're saying is, if Buu were to train for 4 mont—— *gets shot*

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

Wait a minute.

The Dragon Balls are inert and undetectable for a year after they're used, right?

And Goku is trained by Master Roshi for only eight months before the Tenkaichi Budoukai.

The Budoukai itself only lasts about three days.

How does Goku go off to search for the Dragon Balls again immediately afterwards?

And how did the Red Ribbon Army make their own Dragon Radar and be searching for them for a decent amount of time?

[up] That's a plot hole that was never really explained. Pure and simple.

[up](x4) Still, one of the reasons I loved the 2008 special was because of that. They had Roshi and freaking Yajirobe do something! Even if it was small, they had roles!

They also had Yamcha do something. So that's a point against it.tongue

Yeah, I know I've often defended him, but someone would have done it, so I took it upon myself to take care of things.

It was a short, half-hour special episode that IIRC was the first thing Toriyama worked on upon returning to the franchise.

Which is a pretty large case of Hilarious in Hindsight when you look at all of the new things coming out now for Dragon Ball.

Egh! The Super timeline is really confusing me! Everyone has their 2008 special designs...except Gohan, Videl and Krillin, who have their BOG haircuts. And then the magazine said Chi-Chi wants Goku to get a job, but he's already started the radish farming in the 2008 special, so...

EDIT: And JUST as I write this, Kanzenshuu releases their translation of the pages, which say Goku's already got a job, but he wants to train while he works.

...ok. So, in-between the 2008 special and BOG, it is.

He talked about farming some napa cabbage as well, but Vegeta blew up the plot of land he was going to use for that.

[up] That's a typo, it was supposed to say "old farts and ladies," referring to 18.

This is the same guy who thought 17/18/19/20's designs were stupid.

[up][up]Oh, so it's not stupid after all, it's just hideously misogynistic.

No design in the Cell saga was dumber than that of a giant grasshopper.
