Yeah, that would admittedly have been a huge waste.
....still like him, but gotta admit, he's pretty sad.
Also, Saiga's point about the Cell saga taking away the one good thing he had going for him(his girlfriend, the one thing the poor guy wanted) makes me see one flaw to Cell.
I still kinda like it, flaws or not.
One Strip! One Strip!Yamcha will get a new girlfriend. A better girlfriend.
Bulma might have been an 11 for most of DB and she only went down to a 8 or 9 by the Freeza and Cell Sagas (well, once she fixed her blue afro) but by the Buu Saga she's maybe a 5 at best.
Yamcha is moving up.

Meanwhile, Launch is off somewhere trying to get money by selling her body on the streets.

Watch SymphogearNo no, you see, she's putting her Multiple Personality Disorder to work now.
Blue Launch is all sweet and innocent and gets the guy to take her somewhere for some "alone time."
Then Blonde Launch comes out, holds teh guy up with that magically manifesting machine gun, and takes all his money.
Her lovely body remains unspoiled and she walks away with all their cash.

I still can't understand how Toriyama just forgot about Launch. She showed up for pretty much the entirety of Dragon Ball and then dropped off the face of the Earth in Z. In universe you could say she parted ways with Roshi and Krillin during the time skip but I still think the reason it happened is weird.

I feel like this calls for some Launch moments.
There's also a scene in the 22nd Budokai where she tries to just shoot the Crane Hermit but he catches all her bullets casually.
I think it's filler but it was pretty neat. The guy was supposed to be pretty strong but you never got that impression in the show I Mo. W

"Roshi: Goku you mustn't play so rough with the ladies! "
"But if the lady is knocked unconscious somehow, make sure to cop a feel."
A man of great wisdom.
Speaking of wisdom, what's this about Maste rRoshi drinking from the Fountain of Youth or whatever? Like, he can't die from old age I hear?
Then again, I also read Tao was like, ridiculously old. 150 or 200 or something.
Maybe badass humans just live a long time.

Funi didn't dub the Saiyan Saga or most of Namek at the time so they must have just used the Ocean dub up until the Ginyu Saga.
So they used both but mostly Funi. Only the first 40 or maybe 60 episodes were Ocean.
Also all the Launch talk got me thinking and I had forgotten she was one of the people who gave Goku's energy for the Spirit Bomb against Buu. I didn't remember because, unlike Upa and Eighter and Seventeen, she doesn't say anything. That's kinda weird when you think about it.
What's even weirder is that we see Nam and his people, Baba's group (Devilman and Mummy) and Guren's (think that's his name. The lizard thing with a horn that Goku fought in the 21st Tournament) race all giving their energy after Mr. Satan takes over.
I guess they don't like Goku.
Wasn't Launch giving energy to the spirit bomb an anime only scene?
I think the dragon things are called Giras. The one Goku fought was named Giran.
Actually I think she did have slight wrinkles on her face. She definitely didn't look as youthful as she used to.

Yeah Giran sounds right.
And I think all of those scenes were filler. It's good filler IMO as it's shedding light on Goku's long and epic journey.
And speaking people we never see again except in that filler, 17 and 18 never meeting again after he's revived is weird. They are siblings after all and even the psychopathic future versions really cared for each other.
Is Roshi immortal? I think I heard Word of God says he'll outlive everyone else (despite having 300 years on most of them already) but that implies he'll die eventually.

He also considers using the Dragon Balls to wish for money when they had them and no wish they actually needed to be granted.
You look happy, I can change that if you want.
