That's suppose to be a security guard? He's just wearing a suit...he didn't need gel-lo for that.

Dayum, he looks like Gohan.

It's really, really, really weird to see Goku without his trademark hair, lol.

I wonder if Toriyama came up with that design?

Seriously if Episode of Bardock is supposed to show the first Super Saiyan ever, the one enshrined in Saiyan legend, the one Vegeta talks about, it makes no sense even internally, and it does a really shit job of showing that.

They're quite specific throughout the story both that the planet is Planet Plant, and that nobody there has seen a Saiyan before or heard of them or knows what they are or what they look like.

So here's what I think is going on:

First, Mira and Towa open a wormhole to nab Bardock when Frieza blows him up, because Mira's a Goku fanboy, and Towa needs test subjects and minions in that order.

Instead of bringing Bardock to them, they bring Bardock to some unspecified point in the past on Planet Plant before any Saiyans arrived there, because Mira and Towa are slightly incompetent sometimes.

Bardock goes Super Saiyan and stuff and kills Chilled, who warns his descendants about the Saiyans and their ability to turn into Super Saiyans.

Bardock leaves the village of the natives and Mira and Towa nab him and make him the Masked Saiyan.

The natives go about their business, and eventually evolve into Tuffles, developing their healing medicine into healing pods, and make Scouters to read the power levels of other beings based on life energy.

Then the Saiyans show up on Planet Plant, after having wiped themselves out on Planet Salad because of their most recent Super Saiyan. One who isn't Bardock. Because Super Saiyans are just a thing that happens sometimes. The Tuffles allow the Saiyan refugees to settle on their planet, possibly out of some memory or legend or myth of the being who called himself a Saiyan and saved their distant ancestors. The Tuffles keep their cities and fertile and vibrant farmland while the Saiyans get the arid wastelands and barren deserts where none of the Tuffles were living anyway.

Conflicts within the Saiyan tribes mostly keep them out of the way of the Tuffles, but then some guy named Vegeta unites the tribes and war happens.

Then after the Tuffles are all dead Frieza/Cold/The PTO more generally shows up, finds the Saiyans, finds the remaining Tuffle technology, and decides to take it all into his organization.

Moral of the story: don't trust aliens that needed to come to your planet because they destroyed their own.

With the way we're treating the environment we might end up being those aliens sooner rather than later.

I mean. Universe 6's humans are definitely those aliens.

Is Buu considered a mortal? Because if he is that would be hilarious: the "great god" Zamasu failing at doing something a mortal could do better.

Buu is actually more immortal than the gods are - its healing factor is insanely potent (it can regenerate from being outright vaporized after all) and it doesn't seem to actually age at all, while without the Immortality Wish, Zamasu would've grown old and died after a couple million years.

I don't think Buu's classified as a Mortal, mostly because it's infinitely harder to kill than the Gods are and unlike them, doesn't die naturally.

What did Zamasu fail at? Every mortal in his timeline's multiverse isn't just dead, they're not even in an afterlife.

Isn't Buu supposed to be some primordial being of chaos that's always existed? I don't think that counts as mortal in any sense. Also everything that IANCE said.

Heck since everyone came back, Buu ultimately ended up with only a handful of casualties (all of whom were evil) while Zamasu probably has the biggest kill count out of all of the villains and they can't come back.

So I have to ask, but which Dragon Ball Wiki is seen as more accurate; the original one or the Dragon Ball Universe Wiki?

Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!

Neither. IIRC, Dragon Ball has the worst problem with fanon and dubisms being mistaken as canon, even worse than the Fate franchise.

I never understood why Zamasu or Black never used an attack like that. Some countered that he trying to avoid damaging the planet, but that scene shows that it's pretty possible.

Super Buu was thug, but he had the skill and precision to pull off such a technique, so either Zamasu should have been able to do the same thing.

I mean, in one fell swoop Buu killed everyone on Earth who wasn't Tien, Chiaotzu, Mr. Satan, and 17 (who we never see, but was either never targeted, or managed to deflect the blasts if he was, likely with that nifty barrier of his).

The DBU wiki is mostly a copy paste anyway.

At least, that's how it started out. It probably diverged with different editors on both sites after that.

Sorry. Should have clarified that I meant Zamasu failed at killing things efficiently before he became wallpaper. Buu did in two minutes what regular Zamasu and Black spent weeks trying to accomplish.

I also don't really think Buu is mortal, but he's never been referred to as one of the "gods", either. Guess he's really more of an anomaly.
