...what am I even DOING here?
#24451: Sep 6th 2015 at 4:58:17 AM

And now I'm fantasising about how much better the show would be if Vegeta wasn't around...

It's not like I hate his character. I don't. But he really hogs the attention when focus is given to him.

Ah, well. I can't deny he's a popular character.

If you mean Super would be better, I probably agree with you. If you mean the Dragon Ball series as a whole, I would have rather Piccolo continued on if Goku had to have an extended, designated rivalry but do think Vegeta served his purpose well enough.

I just think Piccolo had his four sagas before being pushed back and Vegeta had his four sagas before being pushed back. I really think leaving Vegeta behind and giving Buu his four sagas while gradually introducing someone else to take his place as Goku's rival was the next logical step. And it seemed like that was exactly what was happening, what with Vegeta finally accepting Goku as his better and Buu being reformed but then Vegeta gets an ass pull power spike ahead of Goku, Buu, Gohan and Gotenks against Beerus. Then he jumps to Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan in his next appearance, seemingly just to maintain his designated rival spot.

I guess Beerus could get paranoid about Goku trying to take his spot and end up being that one Vegeta metaphorically steps aside for but he and Whis seem to be taking on a role more akin to Korin or Baba or Kami or King Yemma or Dende. Friends who can help out but usually don't battle enemies, enter budokais, constantly train to raise their levels and develop new techniques. Beerus and Whis showing up at Bulma's to eat is a sign that they might have more involvement than the Kaioshin or Mr. Popo though.

Vegeta served his purpose excellently.

His purpose was to suffer for our amusement.

Also am I the only one who wants Dameon Clarke's Cell to be given his own saturday morning cartoon? Because that would be amazing.

That's the backstory of some character, you know? Just pointing that out.

One of those Cell jr. will end up becoming evil after running away and joining the circus.

[up]x9: There's a pretty good reason for that, Vegeta is more popular than those characters, hence why most fans give him second-billing behind Goku and partially why the marketing has shifted to focus primarily on their relationship.

Its a little depressing and annoying, but popularity is a pretty strong thing.

...Is this what love feels like? I don't have a frame of reference.

I mean, he is Towa's big bro after all.

...Wait, he is?

I didn't know if we knew which of the two was the elder.

Or if they were twins or something.

due to the fact that Videl is pregnant with Pan she is somehow siphoning energy from her part saiyan baby, which is why she can go Super Saiyan

Makes sense.

We know that people can share energy.

Videl (and Bulma and Chichi) are at least as much percent Saiyan as Cell was.

This isn't just Fetus Pan going Super Saiyan. Due to the lack of any change in the shape of Videl's stomach whatsoever, apparently Pan could turn Super Saiyan as an embryo

...Classification as a fetus isn't determined by the mother's stomach size?

A fetus is defined as being 8 weeks after conception.

Videl could still be first trimester.

The Nappa comic was great.

As for Yamcha, I propose we just go back to mocking him, cause that's all we do anyway.tongue

I personally think you shouldn't try to mock anything because of your thing where you aren't very good at it and go so far into hyperbole can't possibly be funny.

No offense.

Too honest?

Eh, just the right amount of honest. To be fair, when I calm down, and aren't full of maddening fury, I think I can be even less funny than usual some what good.

Also, I don't make fun of Yamcha that much. My comment is more the assumption that everyone else will just continue to rip on him, as it's one of those thing that both Japanese and American fans seem to agree on.

Yamcha is legitimately my favorite DBZ protagonist because he is the ONLY one of the main cast of fighters who has an actual job: (cop Krillin doesn't count as Resurrection 'F' has been retconned and Super hasn't gotten there yet) the man is a baseball player! Yes, it is canon because Toriyama came up with it and also came up with Gregory and Super canonizes Gregory and there's no reason for him to still not be employed.
