Gohan could have been a politician that could kick ass six ways to Sunday.

Seriously, he'd be like Super Saiyan Teddy Roosevelt, but with no mustache and alien blood.

Even as a kid I hated the Great Saiyaman. When I found out about all the filler and padding I just assumed it was that and then was shocked to find out it actually happened in the manga.

I never felt too strongly one way or the other about Great Saiyaman.

[up][up][up][up]He'd go mad with his newfound political power and try to instigate a war to maintain his power. Until Bulma converts Trunks into an advanced cyborg with a high-frequency blade who then tears Gohan's heart out and crushes it in his grip, ending his mad reign of terror.

[down]Maybe. <_< >_>

The Great Saiyaman was the best and everyone who thinks otherwise can get out. Of the universe.

I give Toriyama credit for not making Trunks a massive Mary Sue

...Dammit Rob I trusted you.

And did anyone really want to see a "high school arc" in Dragon Ball. I'm glad they ditched that for magical, bubble gum monster

Buu was much more fun that High school shenanigans.

...See, if I had said either of those things I'd have been more sarcastic about it.

I found the actual Buu stuff more fun than Gohan in high school.

I mean, I like Buu, but.

The Great Saiyaman arc was hilarious to me.

I love Gohan being such a dork.

Dammit Rob I trusted you.

See, now normally I'd be all like And that was your mistake Unnoun, but in this case I'm genuinely not sure what I did wrong.

I mean, Trunks is awesome, and is my favourite character, and while I admit that the term Mary Sue gets tossed around rather liberally (it went from annoyingly perfect character who basically takes over the narrative to character I dislike, which means they must be awful), I really like how Trunks came out. It helps that like others said, as powerful as he is, he can't actually deal with the problems in his timeline.

So now I'm just like "Whuh! How did I betray Unnoun's trust by accident!?"

I must know so I can do it properly next time SO I CAN FIX IT.

And to the wrong fucking guy at that.

I kinda expect the final scene between Trunks and Vegeta in Abridged to be one of them giving the other the Middle Finger.

I can't imagine Trunks actually having any respect for Vegeta in that version. And Vegeta doesn't respect anyone in Abridged anyway.

I believe that he compliments Vegeta and says he got the biggest shot on Cell all day when he talks to Future Bulma before he kills the androids.

Yeah. In the series.

In Abridged, I doubt he'll be half as impressed.

Poor Future Bulma'll die thinking Vegeta killed Cell, when indirectly it's his fault for Cell reaching his power.

Oh.

Well in my defence, I was pointed out why he wasn't one. Why it's great that he didn't become one in the fandom.

I think it's a perfectly valid defence that will hold up 98% of the time in court.
