To the very least, I hop Tagoma doesn't get unceremoniously killed off. It'd be nice for Freeza to have more than one Elite Mook for his invasion.

If I was the writer, I would make it so that Beerus recruits Frieza to be one of his champions against Champa's universe.

Basically forcing Frieza to have to cooperate with his hated enemies could be an interesting dynamic.

Also Frieza's really strong now.

Huh. He probably could do that actually.

Also, since when can Shen-Long grant three wishes? I thought it's always been only two?

I remember a fanfic that was similar, that involved Gohan befriending Broly after a couple months after Gohan kicked his ass. The guy was still straining himself to be around Goku though, like he was forcing himself not to tear his head off.

Supersonic Warriors 2 basically replaced Buu with Broly and just had Hercule redeem him.

[up][up][up][up]That seems to be a pattern in this series, what with Piccolo and Vegeta and the like, soooo...

And on the topic of "Broly redeemed" scenarios, I'm not fond of them. The green lights are on, but nobody's home; there's nothing to redeem. His head's so scrambled that he's more of a force of nature than a character. Not exactly a lot to believably work with there.

This episode just now retconned it. Wish for a planet to be restored takes the power of two wishes instead of one.

It still leaves a plothole though.

Unlike Shenron Porunga lifts, so he's more powerful.

But this is anime. Really muscular people are always weak fodder.

Goku's actually really muscular. Especially after training at 100 gs. Sure, he's no Broly but still.

It's not so much being muscular means you're weak so much as being a walking mass of exaggerated muscle guarantees you're nothing in the story.

Interesting. I'm surprised Tori liked the Freeza fight and Gohan so much.

It's actually not a COMPLETE plot hole. I think it's supposed to mean "reviving more than one person at a time takes up two wishes". Which actually makes sense. When they ask Dende to let the dragon do that, he says that'll take the total down to two wishes.

Porunga could mass revive people in the Buu Saga.

Porunga still granted three wishes at the time.

Porunga could not only do mass revivals, he could also revive people an infinite number of times.

Dende obviously needs to step up his game.

[up][up][up][up]And so, a prominent trope was born to save on ink.

Didn't expect Goku to share something in common with Timmy Turner, who was made pink because his creator's blue marker ran dry.

Since the power of the Dragon is dependent on the power of its creator, the only logical conclusion is that Moori is jacked.

It's not a plothole at all, just people interpreting what Dende said wrong. It was pretty clearly explained later than they have three wishes, but can use up two at once for a mass revival.

So if there are so many Australians in this thread, why does it die out so early?

Isn't it like 7 in the evening for you guys?
