Oolong sticks around because he's based on Zhu Bajie, an important character in Journey To The West. Actually, that makes me wonder, is Oolong's epic Rock/Paper/Scissors game with Beerus for the fate of the Earth based on anything, or just Toriyama silliness?

Home sweet home

You know, that comic makes me wonder: Does Zamasu needs to eat? I suppose Black is a Big Eater like Goku due to saiyan biology. So now you know why he has that house: He stores all the food of the world there.

So not only he is committing genocide on the human race, he is also stealing all their food! That fiend, he stole all the Nutella of the world!

And it also reminds you that they only stopped because Japan still thinks that a woman's proper place is at home and that grown adult men should lead quiet lives.

A nation full of Yoshikage Kiras, you say ?

"What about when he reversed time so Goku could kill Frieza to prevent him from destroying the Earth?"

I mostly meant it for Bo G. By the time of ROF, Whis leans towards the "good guy" side, slightly.

Upcoming Super plot details from a stream with the voice actors

No dual voice for Merged Zamasu. Dual voicing for Goku and Vegeta complete. The Mafuba jar is vital for saving the future.

They haven't mentioned that the Mafuba kills the person who uses it right? Has that one been retconned?

Didn't Piccolo use the Mafuba on Kami though, IIRC? If that's the case, then it's unlikely that the Mafuba would kill the user this time.

According to the wiki, which I know is bad but roll with me:

The drawbacks of the technique can be negated if one posses enough power to use it without dying.

I'd assume either Gogeta or Vegito. The latter makes more sense due to greater stability combined with knowing that particular brand of fusion is reversible as well.

Still, glad they are going through with it. I was afraid they'd keep it off the table for the sake of pointless drama.

wild mass guessExact Words is in effect here and Vegetto (I would rather have Gogeta but fusion is fusion) beats Zamasu^2 by beating him over the head with the jar.wild mass guess

Thinking about it, shouldn't Roshi technically not have been revived by the wish to revive those killed by King Piccolo and his kin since Roshi was killed with the Mafuba technique?

Well I guess it was still indirectly a death caused by Piccolo

[up]But he died cause he used on King Piccolo.

Edit: You corrected it yourself.

Anyway the Dragon keeps more the spirit of the wish then the letter. He tends not to be a jackass or overly literal when granting them.

[up][up] That's kinda the same as how Guru came back for a bit after dying of stress, they were both deaths indirectly caused by the wish target thus fully valid targets.

At the same time though the people Nappa killed didn't get revived as he was still technically one of Frieza's men... only cause they were unimportant to the plot and forgotten.

Technically neither Nappa or Vegeta were Frieza's men at that point, considering they went to Earth specifically so they could get immortality, in order to rebel against Frieza. They were about as much one of Frieza's men as Vegeta was back on Namek, they just weren't actively rebelling against Frieza like Vegeta was on Namek.

By that definition they never really were 'Freeza's men'.

However, by actual definition, Vegeta was still working for Freeza. He hadn't given a proper two weeks notice nor had Freeza fired him, so, yeah.

Except he wasn't counted as one of Frieza's men once he got to Namek, and Frieza never fired him then, nor did he just quit; it's why that Namekian village never came back. Both Nappa and Vegeta were just as much Frieza's men once they got to Earth, when they were looking to snatch immortality for themselves so that they could eventually kill Frieza, as much as Vegeta was considered one back on Namek.
