It's best not to think too deeply about how far they're willing to go with a "joke" about Roshi. It'll only depress/disgust you.

I dunno whether TFS or Toei is worse in that regard.

I mean. Toei wasn't above pervy jokes and scenes with 9-year-old Pan in GT.

Although Roshi himself treated her with respect when they interacted. Tried to use her to pick up women, but. Didn't like, try anything on her.

I can't quite say I can trust that's because of morals as much as the fact she knows him and knows what he's about, though.

Which, mind. Is still probably something she shouldn't know at 9.

I can easily see Roshi taking Marron to a park or mall, using her to pick someone up, and then, if he succeeds, either abandoning her, or actually taking her with them.

I don't actually know for sure which of the two would be worse.

But I can't say with complete certainty Roshi would stop what or whom he was doing if Marron was in the room.

Like, from what I recall, he never managed to strike out with blue Launch or Maron because of how oblivious they both were. So. If he finds someone dumb enough.

I also liked the hate boner triangle crack.

So, one time Pilaf used Sleeping Gas on Goku and it worked. So Saiyan Biology isn't immune to human anesthetics/tranquilizers, and might also be affected by other poisons and chemicals. Especially airborne or topical ones. Goku still needs to breathe sometimes. And he sweats, so he has pores.

So.

...Could Pilaf and Goku have beat Cell by having Pilaf put him to bed and then Goku teleporting him into the Sun?

...Y'know, it's funny, Cell is basically the culmination of every Dragon Ball arc villain except Pilaf.

I doubt it. Cell is made up of too many things.

Even if the saiyan parts of him could be affected, there's no guarantee that the Namekian parts and Frieza parts are.

...Is it wrong that I want Pilaf to come back and just beat everyone, and then still fail because he fucks up and wishes for the wrong thing?

Like. Beat Piccolo with whistling, everyone else with flashbangs and sleeping gas?

Super should do that. Revenge of Pilaf arc.

...Also. When Frieza got wished back, Shenron only had one wish left. Pilaf got money.

So. How does that work with Shenron and three wishes now?

I can see it happening. Toriyama seems to love Pilaf now.

He did always have an inordinate talent for finding the Dragonballs. In fact, if not for (and I've made this joke multiple times) him having the poor luck of getting in Goku's way multiple times, he'd have likely won at least once by now.

...It's sad that I could see it happening despite how little sense it makes due to Rule of Funny.

Out of all the parents in the series, I think Cell is worse than Goku.

So were the Cell Juniors supposed to be his version of Saibamen, because that's how I always took them.

Also, one little touch about this episode that I liked is during Cell's Villainous Breakdown because Goku quit the fight, he started referring to him as Kakarot instead.

Since Piccolo Sr, also spat out babies I think the Cell jrs are supposed to be the equivalent to Drum and Tambourine, etc.

Toei Roshi was, at least, not above groping and subsequently motorboating 18 in full view of her daughter.

Three years with the guy is way too long for anybody, let alone a child.

18 in Super says Marron is stronger then she looks.

Hmm, maybe she toughened up her daughter in anticipation for if roshi tries to make moves on her.....
