Well, I would think he'd remember to go Super Saiyan 2 sooner, but there you go.

That's less "remember to go SSJ 2 sooner" and more "the last time Gohan went SSJ 2, he turned into an asshole and got his daddy killed".

....

Touché. That's actually a very good reason for him to not go Super Saiyan 2 right away. I'm ashamed I never considered that.

I suppose I should blame The Abridged Series. They do such a good job of making fun of stupid moments, that it's easy to miss those times where there are actually good reasons for characters to do certain things.

Though I doubt the writers thought of your explanation either.

Except fighting Bojack...there'd be no repercussions for SSJ 2 Sadist Gohand.

"I went SSJ 2, decided to torture Bojack and a stray attack from him killed Piccolo!"

Remember: Gohan's like at most 10 years old at that point. He's not necessarily going to apply much logic to his thought process to defeat his trauma.

@Indirect That was not the same damn punch he killed King Piccolo with; he just punched straight the guy in that instance. With Hirudegarn, he did what can only be described as punching forward so hard that he created a lance of fire that transitioned back and forth between that and a gold ki Shenron, pierced through a kaiju, and the ground, and coiled around it like a snake, before finally exploding in a flash a light that may or may not have purified said kaiju.

To be fair, he didn't fuck around with Bojack the way he did with Cell. He was damned brutal (as I pointed out earlier, what with punching and kicking minions in half and punching a hole in Bojack's chest, but when it came time to finish him, he did it.

He did learn from the incident with Cell.

Well they also kept in Goku being completely aware of all the weaknesses in the graded forms, even using percentages to describe the increase/decrease in power/speed.

[up][up]Which doesn't get said enough. So many people go on about TFS being "better than the original" that they just accept jokes from it (or moments when they're just mistaken) as gospel.

Hey, Gojira, I get that your still salty about all the times I've proved you wrong and defeated you, just brutally, in arguments, but you wanna not insult me when I'm not even here?

Yeah. That's a very easy thing to forget. Though I'd say that's a sign they do a good job with their version...or that I'm just really forgetful. I'm gonna say the first one.

To answer your first question, Gojira said for Indirect to leave the crazy headcanons to Pushover. Sidenote, [tup]

As for your second question, an inexplicable mystery

TFS isn't out there to make a more 'accurate' dub, they're there to make a funnier dub, and while they have cut down significantly on making up stuff from whole cloth, they are not beyond doing it every once in a while for a laugh or two.

While Kaiser does generally seem to at least want to be as close to the original as possible, he's not the only writer and I'm fairly sure he'll compromise accuracy for laughter.

Looking back, I'd say that I've won at least the majority of the arguments I've been in here. Well, either won, or it was dropped and left undecided.
