Things that irk me about Super: U6 doesn't have any spectators, unlike in the manga, also, who is the little penguin alien who sang the universal anthem that he gets to sit with the Kaioshin?

Regarding Videl Becoming a Housewife

It's true that humans aren't really relevant as fighters anymore but it's not like being less capable than Goku has ever stopped anyone. There are other roles between Super Saiyan God of Awesome and Housewife. Like, Tien hasn't accepted a position as Yamcha's doting housewife yet.

I mean, people have been saying TFS have been handling the relationship much better but all they did was through in a bunch of lines about how hot Krillin finds her calling dibs and have her call him cute twice.

That latter part is why. Krillin's attraction to 18 isn't any less out of the blue in the TFS version but they actually put in a few moments of her being attracted to him as well. They're treating her as a person with agency in the developing attraction instead of as a trophy who just shows up seven years later as his wife because he was attracted to her and f*ck if it matters what she thinks.

To be fair, TFS gives her slightly more character than canon.

Hey, Krillin and 18 get more interaction than your average bullshit-out-of-nowhere Pair the Spares pairing. At least these two have actually met.

Probably stuff from Naruto. One pair comes to mind immediately.

I'm pretty sure it's not as bad as Sasuke and Sakura.

Less abuse for one thing.

Plus the husband isn't an asshole. Outside of when the writers put pointlessly sexist words in his mouth, Krillin is always awesome.

Sakura and Sasuske isn't Pair the Spares.

I think he's referring to Karui and Choji.

Presumably because her name means "light (in weight)" and it was meant to be ironic. So, one last fat joke.

True. But I've never been one for that in the first place, just answering a question.

Anyway...um...

[up],[up][up] Sasuke actually tried to kill Sakura and then Kishi went on record that Sakura would be a terrible person for not maintaining her feelings for him. So yeah, Sasuke/Sakura is worst. tongue
