It's kind of funny to think that Dr. Gero set up the Cell Arc to kill Goku and he ultimately succeeds in the end. Gero gets what he wants in the end and Trunks does as well.

That said, it's also pretty funny that Trunks went back in time to stop Goku from dying, only for him to die anyway.

Pop Team Epic looks like the type of show I'd grow up watching on G4 Tech Tv, but I'm not sure I want to watch it.

I watched the first episode and while I can see the appeal, it's definitely not my thing. Unfortunately I see this becoming the next Deadpool in that it's a fun, quirky thing that the internet completely runs into the ground.

I'd love to be wrong, though.

It should be noted, people have been using it for shitposts long before the Anime. The Anime just made people more aware of it.

Considering the creator started off on the internet (Bkub was from 2ch I believe), I'm sure it's popularity will just loop on itself instead of bursting.

Pop Team Epic is really dumb and really goofy, and I don't think anyone should be faulted for not liking it, it is definitely not for everyone.

For anyone unaware, the context of the crossover meme makes it even better. The anime of Pop Team Epic airs in two parts, with the voice actors for Popuko and Pipimi swapping out between the halves. In the second half of episode three, Popuko and Pipimi are voiced by Ryusei Nakao and Norio Wakamoto, the voice actors for Freeza and Cell, respectively.

So I had a kind of morbid thought as to another possible reason for Super ending - given that they've said multiple times that the franchise dies when Masako Nozawa does, full stop, and she's in her eighties now... maybe they decided to discontinue Super knowing that if they didn't they might soon reach a point where they just have to stop, if you get my depressing drift?

Cell is the best character in Fighter Z. Also, I'm glad to know of 21 backstory, I love it when I'm right.

I feel like we've seen Vegeta eating pancakes. That would be a fun wiki article, actually, list all the food the characters have eaten in the whole franchise.

Maybe pancakes aren't exclusive to Earth. It's possible that the Saiyans, or one of the races conquered by the Saiyans, have their own version of pancakes.

No beer?! But if there's no beer, then there's no beef or beans!

Vegeta has lived on Earth more than he hasn't, I think the window for being surprised at him knowing about Earth stuff has passed.

Yeah, but the line, "I like my pancakes very flat!" came soon after he arrived on Earth for the first time.

Pancakes are a proud Saiyan delicacy, cooked to resemble the skinned hide of a slain enemy. They also go great with jam.

To be fair, pancakes are a pretty simple food. They might be one of the first foods humans learned to make, since all you need is flour, milk, and maybe eggs. It's likely that primitive Saiyans made the same thing way back when.
