Well if Piccolo and Kami were half of one full Namekian and Nail is one full Namekian, then Nail would be half of current Piccolo.

Pretty sure that's not how it works. Piccolo didn't become complete just by absorbing Nail.

He stayed essentially the same person, whereas when Piccolo and Kami fused back together they are acknowledged to be a different person (with all of the component memories) who decides to go by Piccolo for convenience's sake.

I'm just saying he is two whole Namekians. Clearly the series doesn't work like that, but it would make sense either way.

Eh, I think the way they handled it makes more sense, actually.

Well, Dende asked Piccolo if Nail was in there, and Piccolo's response was a knowing smile, so Nail was still there. Hell, both Nail and Kami appeared to Piccolo in Super, so they're both still around even to this day.

I really liked that scene by the way. It was cool seeing Nail and Kami again.

That whole fight is easily Piccolo's best moment in Super, and I'd put it in the Top 10, maybe Top 5, best Piccolo moments ever.

Sorry if that came off a bit strong, I just really love that fight.

@Cortez: My first thought when I saw that scene was how great it was. My second thought was how confusing it must be for people who never saw Dragon Ball Z (all three of them).

The idea that someone watched Super without first seeing Z at least still disturbs me.

Still Waiting for Piccolo and Gohan to really catch up ...

I haven't been completely paying attention to Super lately... So Goku gets Frieza for the tournament of power. desperate times desperate measures.

So If i'm understanding this right Cell basically didn't show back up in Super due to just being a pain to draw and animate?

I mean, how many amazing moments does Piccolo even get?

I love the scene during his spar with Gohan where he turns his arm into a fin funnel from Gundam.

Mistare is back with part 4 of his Cell Saga review.

For the most part, I once again agree with a lot of what he's saying (except for the minor nitpicks). I do admit, Goku getting mad about Gero killing everyone on the island does ring false when he purposely allowed them to come into existence.

This gets me to thinking: what other ways could Toriyama have used to set up the arc without having the Z Warriors deliberately ignore the ways they could have flat out prevented the saga.

Maybe having the time in which the androids arrive be much shorter, while the Dragonballs themselves had already been used or something similar.

What would Sonic and his friends think of Frieza? From his actions, to his personality, to his fighting style?

You know, those kinds of questions would probably be less jarring if you prefaced it with telling us that you're writing a crossover fanfiction. I'm also pretty sure there are dedicated fanfiction threads those questions would be more suited to.

Well, seeing Broccoli and Bardock react to these different characters is pretty neat...

It's something nice to hear.

Some of these end quotes are so jarring when you take into account how strong each character is supposed to be [lol] Bardock telling Gohan he isn't strong enough to fight by his side is crazy considering that Gohan is way stronger than Bardock was even in his special.

Then again, Bardock's power level is "as high as it needs to be in order to look badass" so. uh. maybe not?

So did anyone here know that Saffron Henderson, who played Kid Gohan in the dub, was in Friday the 13th Part VIII? She played a cute rocker girl whom Jason Voorhees beats to death with her own guitar and is generally considered one of the best things in a really bad movie.

I wonder who the strongest DB character Jason Voorhees could beat is? I wanna say Tambourine for some reason.
