@Zeromaeus: Vegeta was wearing whatever would be the opposite of a Death Glare in that part. He looked like he wanted to receive death instead of give it. XD

Toriyama has all his couples get together offscreen because he believes he's bad at romance and he's still better than Nakaba. tongue

I thought "SDS sucks at romance" was a pretty common opinion around here?

While I certainly don't doubt that's the case, I haven't actually been keeping up to date with seven deadly sins (and I'm sure most other people haven't either).

I'll very much agree with the claim that Toriyama's romances are better than Nakaba's.

Throw in Kishimoto while you're at it as well.

Now I think Oda is better than all three, because he doesn't put in Romance at all (since he either knows he's bad at it, or has zero interest in it).

Though considering how well 18 and Krillin / Video VIDEL and Gohan / Vegeta and Bulma have worked out, I wonder if Toriyama is as bad as it as he claims...or if it just looks that way because he never bothers to show how they get together...well he did for the first two, and we saw what led to Bulma and Yamcha getting together as well.

I guess we'll never know, because he's never going to try, which is probably for the best.

Thinking on it further, Saiyan Pride is funny cause you know know whenever Vegeta brings that up, he's really talking about himself.

Saiyan's aren't really a Proud Warrior Race. Proud Warrior races generally are able to make their own shit from ships to weapons, & generally have some code of honor or nobility.

They are more a Barbarian Horde really. All their crap from tech to even their clothing was either stolen or given to them. From the Saiyan's we have seen, Raditz was a coward & a liar, Nappa was a dog who likes killing people, & Vegeta was an honor-less scoundrel who abandoned his comrades the moment they prove useless to him & was a maximum Combat Pragmatist during the Frieza Saga.

All in all, the Saiyan's have essentially nothing to be proud of. They were nothing more than animals, only with the bare minimum off intelligence required to qualify as a sentient species.

They can't even be proud of their fighting ability...

Only a legend which still doesn't make them the mightiest warriors in the universe.

Vegeta and Bulma being interested in each other isn't too surprising. They're both arrogant, have a platonic Tsundere relationship with Goku and have haughty backgrounds. Yamcha was simply unable to compete with their egos and decided to pursue a career in baseball instead

Yes I know Future Trunks says Yamcha cheated on Bulma, but he's Vegeta's Heroic Bastard, of course he'd say that. Also, Yamcha and Vegeta died when he was a baby so he's probably mistaken on some things

She never has any problem showing affection to him when he isn't being a goober. Though, that applies to all his friends honestly.

[up][up][up][up]You've said "Saiyans have nothing to be proud of" three times now.

Clearly they were proud of their strength, which was indisputably pretty high up compared to most creatures not named Frieza even before Goku and Vegeta began plumbing the depths of its capabilities.

To be fair nail seemed to be the best of his species compared to the rest.

The average Saiyan seems to be capable of clearing out the species of an entire planet. So they can be proud of their ability to make a planet open for someone else to buy and inhabit it.

Ya gotta look at Recoome's speech on what he thinks about the Saiyan's.

"You see, Vegeta— you sit there and brag about how the Saiyans are the mightiest warriors in aaaaaaall the Universe. How they're the most ruthless! Well, look at where they are, now! DEAD! You talk about your legends, and your warrior race, and your pride— but that doesn't mean a damn thing to this man! BECAUSE THE NAME'S...RECOOME! AND IT RHYMES! WITH DOOM! AND YOU'RE GONNA BE BE HURTING ALL! TOO! SOOOOOOON!" quoted from a 5 Time Champion.

Honestly I look for any excuse to quote this shit cause this really is gold. tongue

It should be noted how many different races there had to be in Freezer's army...

The high chain leading up to the boss were all stronger than Saiya-jins...

While everyone else was killed by Broli...

Also, like, did Vegeta knock the God of Destruction-ness right out of Toppo? As soon as he loses he goes right back to the way he was, and seemingly at the end he's still a Pride Trooper. That's weird.

It's just a thing where whenever someone in a superpowered form is defeated they revert back to normal. Toppo loses God of Destruction mode, Kefla unfuses into Caulifla and Kale, Anilaza turns back into the three robots and Paparoni, the Magical Girls and Magical Boys turn back into their civilian forms. I figure it's symbolic more than anything else.

Vegito was underpowered vs. Merged Zamasu.

His Final Kamehameha should have been a galaxy busting move, considering Goku and Vegeta’s power at that time.

That's the joke. Clearly I failed miserably on that.

Why has Babidi never tried to mind-control Frieza? Frieza is known across the universe, has a lot of evil to control, and Dabura would be strong enough to get him in a position to mind-control him. For that matter, why didn't they decide to go from planet to planet to get the energy instead of visit Earth once every few centuries or so(implied with the comment they visited the planet 300 years ago).

Raditz is half as weak as a Namekian Warrior, and I believe he was a low or mid class Saiyan.

Quite frankly when you don't let Saiyans abuse their Zenkai boosts they've only really got the Great Ape form to rely on, and aside from that aren't really that impressive when compared to other warrior races (like Zarbon, Dodoria or heck, even Cui). They don't have a culture that lets them understand Ki control, for instance.
