How about how 16 and Cell both seem to have murder boners for Goku and how that's going to end in 16's death?

That's the most inopportune top-pager in my life. XD

So, lemme guess... Cell goes Yandere-mode and kills 16 over their mutual goal of killing Goku?

Cell: "I'm the only one allowed to kill Goku around here!"

[up]World's strongest fighter decides that he's done with training. Cue moonlighting as a superhero. Oh, and essentially getting thrown under a bus to put his dad back in the spotlight.

I believe Gohan's years of being a family mam who strives to be a scholar are what's being referenced here. Or, more specifically, Freeza tearing him apart because he can't get past SS 1 in RoF.

[up][up]Cell used killing Kakarrot as a way to earn 16's friendship...

[up]I know that and stuff, I was hoping for a joke...

@two pages ago: Gohan while fighting Cell in SS1 was not unharmed. Granted, his Ki wasn't dropping and he wasn't taking any serious damage, but he was also bleeding out of his forehead and he had a few cuts and bruises elsewhere on his body. He wasn't down, but he was clearly hurt.

[up]Not much of a distinction. Everyone else was basically going "Everything Cell is killing him" and Goku was "No, he's fine" because he was.

I don't view the clone and Naruto as being distinct given the continuity of memory between clones.

Yeah, that's fair to say. Boruto isn't being completely rational when he resents his dad for sending a clone.

But, he's a kid, dealing with matters of family. He isn't exactly going to be completely rational about that.


On the subject of 16, I'm just waiting for the bird to appear on screen when he gives his death speech. I've been waiting for that moment ever since he picked up bird-watching as a hobby.

LSBK is right and in fact is natural because the cell game is were "Goku is a shitty father" meme come front since he put Gohan to face cell and them it give Cell a senzu being, sure he is not abusive but damn that was dumb.

"World's strongest fighter decides that he's done with training. Cue moonlighting as a superhero."

that actually fit Gohan very well, of all chararter he is the closer to be a superhero by is own nature, he isnt much of a shonen warrior like is father or Vegeta.

Everyone!

I just realized something!

People are obsessed with how good a father Goku is or isn't!

I don't believe it! But now that we know...We. Can. Fucking. Drop. it.

...I think Yamcha should have learned Kaioken, just so we could see a Kaioken Wolf Fang Fist.

Shut up! It'd be awesome, because then he'd totally shape the Kaioken aura to look like a wolf and it'd be all boss and stuff!

Just like the above video. I mean, yeah, he'd lose because Lol! Yamcha always loses because Toriyama doesn't know how to write him not losing, but it'd at least look cool.

It was the Path to Power movie, made around the time GT was being done (that musical sting when Yamcha attacks is straight out of GT in fact).

....not really no, Path to Power was made back in 1996 and was the last movie Toei made for Dragon Ball until Battle of Gods in 2013.

Path to Power basically combines the first half of searching for the Dragon Balls with the Red Ribbon Army arc. Aside from the GT animation style, music, and Goku's outfit, it's actually pretty good. It completely derails Staff Officer Black at the end, though.

Honestly I had no idea how long the fatherhood thing was going on. I'm not following this thread closely. It was just something that had come up at a convention, that I'd found interesting.

Also surprising: no one asked them to say any abridged series lines.
