If Kakarrot doesn't need a tail, then neither does he.

You can't even throw them by it...the moment Gohand did that, it broke off...

The tails are useless...

The tails allowed the only transformation that didn't suffer from massive Stamina drain.

I'm still convinced that a Tailed Super Saiyan would have far more stamina than an un-tailed because of that, despite admittedly having no proof.

...I don't count GT Goku.

I'm gonna assume that's sincerity (because you make it really hard to tell) and say [tup].

Suffice to say, I don;t think we wiil ever really know until Toriyama draws the tails again.

Well, that's not gonna happen...

...then again, he brought back the Red Ribbon, brought back the Pilaf Gang, brought back 17...

...it's hard to tell when he'll go back to a certain well.

But those are all different. They are characters, while the tail is a physical trait that he seems to hate drawing, and when Toriyama dislikes something...he forces himself to keep drawing it like he did Chi-chi...

...fuck I don't know. Guy's all over the place. You never know what he's gonna do.

He thinks she's the most annoying character to draw for whatever reason.

The interview where he brings it up.

and the exact quote here:

Who do you prefer: Bulma or Chi-Chi?

Toriyama: To be honest, I’m really not fond of Chi-Chi as a character. (laughs) In the middle of the comic, I started to think, “I don’t want to draw her anymore,” and, sort of as a way of spiting myself, I decided, “you’ll have to draw her if she gets married to Goku, so marry them off!” So, I drew her as a kind of punishment. (laughs)

Nakatsuru: So that was your reason behind it! (laughs)

Toriyama: The women I draw all have the same sort of personality. I can’t draw gentle girls; I only know how to draw ones who are strong-willed.

That's the question isn't it?

If he had some plans for her that would have made her integral to the story, it would make sense...but we all know that wasn't the case...

Well, there was giving birth to Gohan I guess, but I'd say you need more than that.

Toriyama hates drawing tails so much he created a whole alternate planet of Saiyans that evolved without tails.

I'm waiting for him to get tired of drawing faces and we get a planet full of faceless aliens.

He kinda always has been lazy. It's just that it actually worked in his favour instead of against him.

[up][up] Yeah but now its immature.

Like he's not even drawing manga anymore or anything else serious, he just does character designs.

So his instance to not draw tales or even the basic concept of muscle mass is just annoying.

[up] No they were pretty buff.
