Wait, is Videl's full name... Videl Satan?

As much as I LOVE Hercule's Badass Boast here while crushing the mics, with the way Spoopy Scary Skeletons is right now, he'd be road pizza.

I mean nothing wrong with being a housewife but still doesn't make it any less disappointing.

Shes like a different person in Super which helps cause we literally saw her over 30 minutes ago.

@ Beary: (slowly nods)

If it's any consolation, Mr. Satan's real name is, according to Toriyama, Mark.

Videl was always a secondary character so I never expected her to do much, but it really is a shame that she never really gets anymore focus after this, making her biggest contribution to the series getting brutally beaten to motivate Gohan. And what Super does with her just kind of rubs salt into the wound.

Really the fight was just pointlessly sadistic.

If it was just to make us hate the fucktard then there are better ways really.

That or not make it as dragged out of course.

At least we got to see Videl with golden hair once. That's like something you'd expect in a fanfic or something.

I honestly hate this scene. It makes no sense why it took so long with no explantion.

Yajirobe just standing there is just the tip of the annoyance.

Yep, I'm still here.

That's probably Toei's apology for GT!Pan. [lol]

And speaking of women being put in harms way to motivate the main character...

Man, this week has not been good for my opinion of gender dynamics.

Well its understandable at least.

DB & Jojo are very old series after all.

I think Samurai Jack handled it better though I think.

Jojo at least had Stone Ocean. Dragon Ball is still struggling.

And we can argue that Lisa Lisa has a (somewhat) better showing than Videl did. Still, it would've been nice if she had a proper fight against Kars.

[up] Also true. I can't vouch for Trish in Aureo Vento, though, as I haven't read it.

At least with Jojo I heard this situation was mandated by the editors/higher-ups and not how the writer actually wanted it to be.

I mean, Lisa Lisa was at least a mentor...but she had only one fight...in which she gets backstabbed and then literally dangling in harms way. If she just lost, fine but then this? It's too much.

Thank God for Stone Ocean, but 1/8th of a series like that....but Jojo is still godlike.

Kars calling Jojo a cheat? Oh, that silly little bitch.

On another note, regarding Kars' incredibly odd moment of playing Lisa Lisa's leg like a guitar, it has come to my attention that he was playing the opening bars of "Roundabout."

Yeah. The only reason Kars is still alive at this point is because he cheated. No doubt that he'd have died fast if he fought Lisa Lisa or Jojo in a straight fight.

And yes, all's fair in a fight to the death, but if you live by that philosophy, you've got no right to complain about your opponent cheating.
