Cool.

Pal, I wanted Piccolo to learn the Kaio-ken.

If you could have any other character learn another technique in the series, who would you have learn what?

Does Super Saiyan count as a technique. Cause I still kind of want to see a Super Saiyan Nappa in something that's not a video game. Especially given that Super Saiyan 3 Nappa would essentially just be "Nappa without eyebrows."

Seriously though, I guess if I had to see another technique be (retroactively, to be precise) more widespread it's probably be to be the Kaio-Ken. Like, even if it stayed with Goku, it would've been cool if it were something he was able to pass down. The idea of Goku as a teacher in general is a really interesting one.

But then, I guess in the end Gohan got his own diety-given power-up thing anyway. At this rate, Goten will personally learn the secrets of ultimate power from Zenou.

Have Vegeta learn Piccolo's Clothes Beam, and become a successful fashion designer.

Ya know it be cool if Nappa & especially Raditz make a come back. I mean Frieza got an entire movie & arc for his resurgence why not some other characters?

Also yeah Kao-Ken should be taught to other people. How hard is it to learn? Guys like Krillen & Tien could make good work of it along with the fact Goku proves you can combine it with Super Saiyan forms somewhat.

[up] Now that is fucking genius. [tup]

Goku is the only person to ever master it. Even King Kai didn't (but he could still use it, because it wouldn't make sense if he couldn't).

I honeatly don't see why they don't use the Super Dragon balls and gain whatever ability they need. If anything Mega shenron should be universe+ being WAAAYYY stronger than Shenron, the wishes wouldn't exceed anything

Goku wouldn't want to gain strength that way.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that these guys will use the wishes from the Dragon Balls in a logical manner.

We've got an SSJ 3 Nappa in Heroes, actually.

But still no SSJ 3 Goten. Forever the black sheep. tongue

I would have Oolong learn the 'create matter' technique of the Gods.

KnownUnknown Since: Jan, 2001
#51438: Feb 7th 2017 at 8:54:58 PM

Yeah, I don't think it's in character for anybody in the series to wish for something like that. Except maybe Mr. Satan pre-Character Development.

And I'll admit, Mr. Satan pulling an Oolong and stealing a Super Dragonballs wish to make himself the most powerful person in Universe 7 would be freaking hilarious.

wild mass guessThe series literally ends with Mr. Satan standing on a pile of our defeated heroes and Gods, laughing that stupid laugh of his.

Honestly, I'd like for someone else to learn Instant Transmission.

I bet the others could get good mileage out of it.

If they are too slow, just teleport...and then the enemy just flies over to where they are anyway.

But at least it'd be something.

Something I just realized that's not really a thing in the English Dub, Goku and Chi-Chi are goddamn hicks. Or at least their accents sound hick-like when compared to their kids Gohan and Goten, who speak more properly.

How did their kids end up so proper anyways, with wild-child dad and a barbarian princess mom?

An early print of the manga crowbarred in heavy accents for a lot of characters, at least in the first volume. It was painful to read.

Do not obey in advance.

The best way to translate that would probably be to just have Goku and Chi-Chi use a lot of apostrophes in words that shouldn't normally have them. Like '"gardening" to "gardenin'". Something subtle, Goku shouldn't go full Android 13, but still recognizably rural.
