The afterlife thing was a theory I put forth on here some time ago in order to explain why Goku had to stay in Other World as well as why Super Saiyan 3 works better there.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

Except it's not that Super Saiyan 3 is better in the Afterlife. It's that Super Saiyan 3 is more efficient while dead because dead people don't havd the same lame needs as the living.

Yeah, if I wanted to re watch battle of gods I'd re watch battle of gods. How's that manga comic going?

[up][up]Needs...like not running out of energy? That's still the same, and it's not like using ssj of the third variety kills you if you use it too long.

And that would make sense as to why they could send Goku back for one day, since they measured out how much Ki it would use to send him to Earth for twenty-four hours.

And that would also be why he had to leave early when he went SSJ 3, because it drained up all that Ki.

An addendum to this week's episode of Super: an subtle but kind of significant difference between Goku here and Goku from Battle of the Gods after the Saiyan God ritual is... Goku's not pissed off or frustrated at how it's something he couldn't reach by training alone.

In fact, he's kind of acting like a little kid trying out something new, and is all in good humor.

Breathing and Eating aren't the needs required for the living Super 3 being worse than the dead Super duper 3.

PMC's right. Goku explicitly attributes his misjudgment of Super Saiyan 3's energy requirements in his fight with Pure Buu to the difference in energy consumption between a living body and a dead one.

Said battle actually taking place on Kaioshin's planet, which is on the "after" side of the life border.

That is correct,however...the "needs" stated in the second relevant post from "PMC" weren't similar to what you're saying.

She didn't have one when she was young because making her look more like her dad was cute. She has one when she's older because it stopped being cute. That's the real world answer, most likely.

For an in story answer, I don't know, the nose growing genes were just dormant in her for awhile because Krillin, but eventually were activated.

She started getting all nosy in puberty.

I agree that this is weird. I mean, Krillin doesn't have a nose. It's not an art choiceLISTEN , he physically does not have one. It was a plot point in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai.

Thus, if Marron is drawn without a nose, we must assume that she also physically does not have a nose.

Except Krillin does have a nose, because in the very next fight, he snorts boogers at Jackie Chun.

Just because he doesn't have a nose doesn't mean he doesn't have nostrils.

His skin can open and close itself at will to make nostrils, plus it's not like smelling is important.

Krillin is the lucky one.
