[up][up] If Goku's an Explorer and Vegeta's an Achiever then who's the Socializer and who's the Killer?

Piccolo's obviously the socializer.

......

Tenshihan was a former assassin, so he could be the killer.

Or Android 18, who was supposed to kill Goku.

Or Vegeta could do double duty since he's probably killed more people then the other two combined.

The legendary Super Satan.

...I know Satan isn't actually his last name but I wish it was if only because I could say Videl was a Super Satan in that one scene.

I mean, yeah she's a Son now, but. Shh.

...So I think I missed something, when did Videl and Gohan get married? In episode one of Super I remember hearing that Goten was trying to get a gift, but. Then Battle of Gods happens and I don't get the sense there was a massive timeskip?

...Also, is Videl in college? Did she drop out to get married? Did she drop out when she got pregnant? Did she drop out at all? Is she still in college? Did she not bother going?

There was a time skip after they finished the Beerus arc. During it, the two got hitched and Pan was born.

Speaking of Pan, I actually don't mind her GT characterizatiom; I mean, she's ten there. She'll grow out of that, just like Goten and Trunks can't be expected to stay the way they are in the Buu arc forever.

Most of Pan's hate seems to come her getting unjustified screentime.

That's not really the same thing. Pan's not considered The Scrappy of GT because she failed to become a Super Saiyan, we just don't like the detail that Toriyama didn't know how to draw a female Super Saiyan at the time.

[up]Well, he designed some things like Giru, and, though he didn't design the Super Saiyan 4 form, he did personally approve that design. He mostly took a backseat, though, so that's about it.

[up][up][up]

That's true.

I just thought it was funny that there's always something going on with Pan.

I mean, even if they decide to eventually show us an older Pan, we might still never have a Super Saiyan due to a rather lame reason (especially when the Dragon Ball Heroes Playable female is a Super Saiyan).

I mean, I can't help but think Toei and Toriyama are purposely avoiding the issue due to the controversy of GT.

[up] Edit: Didn't know he approved Super Saiyan 4. That's interesting.

I wasn't bring up Toriyama to say he was responsible for Pan's unpopularity, merely explaining why "hating Pan for GT" isn't the same as "I hate that Pan hasn't become a Super Saiyan yet".

Holy shit, I hope they give Pan SSJ soon so you guys can stop complaining about it.

Especially you Rob. Shame on you!

I'm not talking about. I'm talking about people who do bring it up every time Pan is mentioned.

Basically Rob.

Do I bring it up that much?

I mean, yeah, I've harped on it, but I thought most other people bring it up more often especially when a different character gets a new Super Saiyan form in one of the games?

If I do, I'm sorry.

I like that Videl became the first female Super Saiyan (even if it literally never amounted to anything).

I might have lost my cool, but that's because this thread often makes me feel as if I entered and endless recursion of time.

It does seem that way, doesn't it?

I admit, I've played my part in repeating some of the same topics over and over again.

Ooh! I just realized, if Piccolo fights in the 6 vs 7 tournament, we might finally see the proper version of the Makankosappo / Special Beam Canon.

I don't think he's ever officially done it with both arms before has he?

I remember that.

Well, I might as well ask: Was that the attack he used in the Manga as well, or was it just a generic ki attack?

It often gets overlooked because he didn't call his attack, but it was the same spiral beam effect.

It's always about how Chi-Chi's a bitch, The humans got shafted, Gohan should've killed Buu, and Yamcha and Krillin bashing,

And showing inferior dubs.

I love you, Krillin!! -struggling to breathe- I love you as well, honey..
