Well, that's cool. I actually watched the video, so I can see the popularity behind the song.

So, having caught up with DBZA, I think my favorite joke has definitely been "orange hillbilly" and everything surrounding it.

That was one of Johnny Firecracker's insults to Goku, right?

Missed some pages. Just wanted to point out that Roshi is scum.

I don't think anyone denies that he's a scumbag. We just disagree over whether his scumminess is endearing and funny or disturbing and offensive.

Personally, I think it's the former in small doses, but the latter when it goes too far.

Kame-sennin is a character I want to like because when he's being the Big Good, he's awesome. He's really good at it.

But his character flaw is being a sex offender and that's not something I can really look past.

He cures cancer, he stops wars, he put an end to poverty and he occasionally sexually assaults women.

Hm.... I should NEVER write this character.

This is why the light-hearted gag series tone is vital. Start making people take all this shit seriously and suddenly your heroes are all monsters who we should hate and loathe.

Sounds more like something Cersei would do.

So Roshi was chosen as part of the people to defend the universe because he knows strategy, and Frieza was chosen because he's strong and Buu was asleep. The others on the team are Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, 18, 17, and Tien.

In all of the main DBZ universe (i.e. every character available as of Battle of Gods, except for the gods), keeping in mind they can resurrect the dead for 24 hours, who would you have chosen instead of the comparatively weak (and also scum) Roshi, and the presumably uncontrollable Frieza? If the full team loses, their universe gets destroyed.

The names that come to my mind are Yamcha, Cell, Dabura, Future Trunks, Dende, and if possible, non-canon characters (starting with Pikkon).

Didn't Dabura reform while in heaven or something? Should have brought him and made him train for two months or whatever.

Actually, Dende might be a really good pick for the team. If he's allowed, being Earth's God and all. As long as they can keep him safe, they have tons of free healing. I mean, Buu could probably do the same, but he won't.

I blame Toriyama.

Hell, Future Trunks has a damn good reason to join the Tournament: The Super Dragonballs might be able to undo not only the destruction of his world, but all the deaths caused by Zamasu and Black.

He's also 100% trustworthy unlike Frieza.

Maybe he can't enter because he's from another timeline. You don't want U6 having four Hits from the four different timelines he exists in.

This is why the light-hearted gag series tone is vital. Start making people take all this shit seriously and suddenly your heroes are all monsters who we should hate and loathe.

99% of Roshi's cuntiness comes from the light-hearted gag parts of the series, people still think he should have his intestinal tract pulled out of his tear duct for it.

And rightfully so.

In all of the main DBZ universe (i.e. every character available as of Battle of Gods, except for the gods), keeping in mind they can resurrect the dead for 24 hours, who would you have chosen instead of the comparatively weak (and also scum) Roshi, and the presumably uncontrollable Frieza? If the full team loses, their universe gets destroyed.

The names that come to my mind are Yamcha, Cell, Dabura, Future Trunks, Dende, and if possible, non-canon characters (starting with Pikkon).

Goten, Trunks, Future Trunks, Dabra, Gotenks, Yamcha, Cell, those three Namekians with battle powers of 3,000, empty spaces, a half-eaten sandwhich

Really, though. They've already shown they don't give a single fuck about creating extra timelines to solve their problems, the team should just be ten copies of Vegetto.

If ten Vegettos can't defeat everyone in the stupid time limit, a non-Vegetto U7 team can't defeat everyone.

The time limit is not a factor.
