Bulma seems to have made bullying Jaco her new hobby. I suppose that's what he gets for trying to murder babies.

Also, if he's an elite of the Galatic Patrol, I guess we know why said Patrol did jack shit against Frieza.

Preview for next weeks ep shows Gohan's training with Piccolo. Also, there's been zero mention of Goku wanting to exclude Gohan due to the latter not fighting anymore like in the manga version. Is it possible Gohan will be the fifth member in this version.

[up] I also want to see Beerus get beaten by someone. As it is, the most powerful beings in two universes are a pair of asshole twins who destroy planets on nothing more than cheap whims (with the only people stronger then them being their handlers, who don't do much beyond the bare minimum to stop them).

The Kaioushins were all apparently weaker than Beerus, so if he'd decided to whoop their asses before Majin Buu got to them, they'd have been helpless to stop him.

The Galatic Patrol was totally impotent against Frieza as well. In hindsight, Universe 6 was a pretty huge Crapsack World, with villains basically being able to do what they wanted (this is true as far back as the Red Ribbon army or even Emperor Pilaf, who'd be ruling the world right now if not for luck, despite ruling a Kingdom of two people).

I mean, when you think about it, that's pretty awful.

Jaco is actually the most incompetent idiot of the Patrol, and they send him to Earth, because it's a backwater planet so they don't care if he fails and it gets destroyed.

To Jaco's credit, he is pretty strong. His debut manga implied we was weaker than Nappa but he's apparently become as powerful as post Namek Krillen by "Revival of F". He should be at least in shooting distance of the Ginyu Force.

As for Uub's level. That's an easy fix. You could just say he was born with small Buu's power. Even a three year old is much stronger than a new born infant, which leaves a lot of room if you insist on calculating power levels. Alternatively, you could add on some other kind of blessing that got mixed in addition to being small Buu turned good.

I like that they brought up that Goku once again forgot to use the Dragon Balls to revive King Kai.

Yeah. And he had two wishes to do it with too. So that makes it worse.

After Bulma saying who cares about that? It's not important.

Wow. I mean, it's not like he never gave you guys anything, like the technique that let you eventually stop Vegeta (well, one among many things really, but both the Kaiouken and the Spirit Bomb did help).

Or that time he guided Goku to Namek so he could get a new guardian and new Dragonballs as well.

Yeah. Just leave King Kai dead you assholes.

So I guess this is going to become the new Running Gag in the series, teasing King Kai about possibly bringing him back to life. :P

Eh, does anything really change for King Kai with him dead? Honestly, I'd think bringing his planet back (or giving him a new one) would be of more importance to him.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't King Kai miracuously get a new planet for the Battle of Gods movie and arc?

So he did, I forgot about that.

I know in the anime filler, King Kai hated that the other Kai's mace fun of him for being dead.

The new planet in "Battle Of Gods" had an explanation. Whis was surprised by how small the planet was and said that North Kai should have been able to restore it to full size after Beerus had destroyed it. This implies he also restored it when Cell blew it up and the tiny but super dense rock is the best he can do.

Though that brings up the question of why he waited to restore it.

Because when Beerus blows something up, he probably prefers that it stays blown up.

He destroyed it just because King Kai beat him in a game right? Who's to say that if King Kai restored it, Beerus wouldn't destroy it again out of spite.

I imagine he waited for the same reason most homeowners don't immediately buy\build a new house after theirs catches fire. Creation/acquisition is a much more time consuming process than destruction. Keep in mind that despite it's tiny circumference North Kaio's planet is more massive than the Earth due to it's high density. I imagine it's akin to dwarf star material, and that takes a long time to process.
