Neither were the androids'. Or the average footman's.

Or even the one named scientist we get, IIRC.

Or White's. Or Black's. 'Cuz, you know, black and white ain't colors 'n all.

Only the officers in the Red Ribbon Army had color based names.

In a relatively recent Q&A Toriyama said that Gero was Red Ribbon's tech supplier and something of a Man Behind the Man to Commander Red; without Gero's technology Red would've been a nobody. Makes you wonder how the two met.

Neither were the androids'.

Which is part of Tobias's point.

Or the average footman's.

They don't even have names.

Or even the one named scientist we get, IIRC.

Filler, and also forced to work for the Red Ribbon Army against his will.

Toei wanted to explain why the Red Ribbon Army had androids.

Or White's. Or Black's. 'Cuz, you know, black and white ain't colors 'n all.

Oh don't give me that.

Wait a minute, unnoun is dismissing something on the basis of it being filler and thus non-canon?

I'm not arguing that.

I'm trying to represent Tobias's argument to the best of my ability.

I don't actually care about Gero one way or the other, but Tobias has said these things a lot.

I gave up on conquering the Dragonball thread because no matter how much I'm never wrong, Tobias and Saiga have stolen my spotlight.

I am now king of the Yugioh thread. Stay out of it, Saiga!

Will there be giant worms?

...All I know about Yugioh is like three episodes and the Abridged version, and the first chapter of the manga, where being King of Games involved killing people in ridiculous ways.

And the anime version apparently involved giant worms.

The anime has very little to do with the card game, 'cause nobody in the anime actually knows how to play and nine times out of ten, they flat out make up the cards' effects as they go.

Anyway, it doesn't matter how much you're trying to 'represent' his point, the fact is, the theme naming being broken means two things:

Jack and Shit, and Jack left town.

I was talking about before the card game was a thing.

There was this bully, and they were on a water tower, and they.

Okay there was a card game, but not the card game. The Pharaoh played the Queen of Spades.

And then the bully was eaten by giant worms.

And then there was the one where a guy holding a gun was made to pour vodka while a lit lighter was balanced on his hand and then when he tried to shoot his gun he burst into flames.

I remember that one.

To be fair, all the guys he fucked up were pretty awful people themselves. One of them tried to rape Anzu/Tea.

Plus, it's said that when the Pharaoh first woke up, he was actually pretty evil himself. It was just that he was pitted against people who were just as evil.

On the sealing thing again.

Toriyama back when he gave Beerus as the one who sealed Old Kai away gave his reasons for it.

Pretty much the Gods of Destruction and Creation have a meeting every something million years. Old Kai at the meeting offended Beerus. Beerus sealed him in the Sword because it would be bad manners to blow up the sacred world of the Kais and wipe out the gods of creation for this.

Twenty bucks says the way he offended Beerus was by not blinking correctly, or something crazy like that.

Considerning Beerus will blow up a planet on nothing more than a whim, it wouldn't surprise me if he sealed Old Kai for something extremely petty.

I'm impressed he had enough self discipline to not blow up the Sacred planet of the Kais though.

Too bad King Kai/Kaio-Sama wasn't as lucky.

Envyus is also an underappreciated talent. Saiga and Tobias are like the John Cena and Randy Orton of this thread.

So are we all obligated to sing Saiga suuuuucks!!!!!

I mean, I suppose half of us can go Lets go Saiga! and the other half can go Saiga sucks!

But it'd be hard to hear since none of us are in the same room.

Edit: I'd be totally ok with being the CM Punk of the thread.

It's so...Toriyama...to have one of the most powerful beings in the DB universe be a spiteful, lazy cat.

And then there's Whis. But we still barely know what he is.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!
