[up][up]and[up]

I suppose I shouldn't be really surprised at that.

Toriyama was never really a romance guy, though it seems things improved in time to put Bulma and Vegeta together.

Well, I got no arguments left....... Let 18 kick some ass!!! MORE FEMALE FIGHTERS!!!!!

No sir. No arguments at all.tongue

Neither relationship is at all developed. Bulma and Yamcha each think the other is hot, so they decide to bang. Bulma and Vegeta ??? so they bang and Trunks shows up eventually.

He was also surpassed in power by Gotenks, Mr. Buu, and Gohan being stronger than him. I understand he trains hard, but to surpass all three and give a better showing against Beerus than them in the span of six months?

The timeline is very vague but it's been much longer than 6 months in Super.

And in Bo G, it's been years.

Mr. Buu doesn't train and is weaker than Majin Buu, I believe. Gotenks didn't even go Super Saiyan or SS 3 against Beerus for some reason.

Vegeta got a better showing for 10 seconds not due to training but because of a stupid rage boost.

I was thinking the same thing. What development did Vegeta and Bulma get? He developed in that he actually came to care for her and the family they eventually had together but we didn't actually see any of it happening, it just happened during a timeskip.

Let's be honest, they only got together so Future Trunks could be a thing.

Although that quote isn't entirely true - Vegeta killed Nappa. That's someone.

Vegeta avenged Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo. They should be thanking him. The ingrates.

He killed his own team-mate.

That's just a dick move.

And yeah, Toriyama is about as romantic as Kishimoto, which is not very.

Actually, I take that back. Toriyama is far more romantic than Kishimoto, cause even if his romances aren't very good, they are still better than any romance kishimoto could think of with years to plot it out.

.........

If you could choose a character to get Old Kai's Mystic Power-up, who would it be?

No joke answers like Chi-Chi, Launch, Bulma, or anyone for whom it would be useless or isn't a fighter.

Now, if you seriously want Chi-Chi or maybe someone like Videl to get it, then it's ok, but no snarky joke answers for the sake of snark.

Well, considering the characters that need it would get worfed like Gohan did, and the characters that could actually use it don't really need it at the moment, I don't really know.

Fixed Relative Strength and all.

Hilariously, Bulma and Vegeta then became the most favorite pairing in the fandom after they got together, go figure.

Kishimoto develops abusive relationships, but at least they develop. Toriyama had nothing.

Fine then, they suck at developing relationships. Now for the love of God, don't ever defend Kishimoto again, even as a joke.

In return, I will (hopefully remember to) never mention him again.

I take full responsibility for even bringing it up.

If you could choose a character to get Old Kai's Mystic Power-up, who would it be?

Realistically, I think Piccolo would make the most out of it.

Of course, I think I've made it apparently by now I'm also a Tien-fanboy, so I would like him get it since he missed out on all the Namek power-up hax.

[up] Oh.

I heard bad things about the Naruto fandom's shipping problems. Never understood why.

What exactly is this problem with romance in Naruto, though?

Sasuke treats Sakura like actual garbage from minute one.

She never realizes that this is bad.

They get married and have children.

Just kidding, I may not remember much of Naruto, but I remember her...what a bitch.

The short of it is he made one pairing between the The Hero and the lead female a Red Herring, then paired The Hero with a side character and paired the lead female with The Rival.

The first of these pairings had little build-up due to the Red Herring taking up much of the manga and the side character The Hero married being Demoted to Extra for too long. The Rival and lead female's entire relationship is largely viewed as a joke by Naruto fans because The Rival was a traitorous psycho for most of the manga that tried to kill the lead female a few times, yet they married.
