Who knows?

Well, I'm guessing Saiga does.

Edit: Maybe Toriyama didn't know he was that sexist? I mean, it's not like there'd been many female fighters before that.

18's predecessors were Ranfan of the housewife stripper style, and Chi-chi of the marry me you jackass style.

Not much to be compared to.

[up][up] The comment about women shouldn't be fighters was more recent, and was referring to 18 (and Gero, he said geezers shouldn't fight either).

He actually gave it as a reason why DB should have ended at Freeza. The quote is roughly 'when you have women and geezers fighting, its time to end it'.

Huh what about Roshi?

Also rather petty considering how 18 had only 1 fight.

...but...but Toriyama had women and geezers fighting as early as the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai. I mean, Ranfan wasn't much of a fighter, but the geezer was awesome.

Yeah Roshi doesn't count as a geezer for some reason? Who knows.

Logic.

We fans makes more sense...and that alone is sad.

I recall a former Transformers editor say he doesn't understand why fans think continuity is so important & if he could he'd go back in time to make sure continuity is not considered important.

So yeah fans are the only ones that care about logic & shit.

I can see one justification for it - it could be that Torishima is separating martial artists in his mind, and his issue is taking people with a civilian/non-combat background and making them serious threats. Which is a legit criticism worded in a extremely terrible way that also reveals some bad attitudes.

Considering how much Toriyama loves gags and how many couples are in the series now, I'm surprised there hasn't been any kind of romantic comedy parodying in Dragon Ball.

Well one of the qualifications of a master martial artist is self-control.

So having sex with Chi-Chi really is a challenge. tongue

I'm surprised there hasn't been any kind of romantic comedy parodying in Dragon Ball.

I still want an episode of Bulma putting Vegeta in the doghouse, forcing Vegeta out of his comfort zone while he tries to figure out what to do all day.

She locks the Gravity Room too - that or refuses to rebuild it - so all Vegeta can think to do is live in a cave or buy an apartment and work out all day.

Or both.

  • Vegeta: Fine! I don't need you anyways! I've got training to do!
  • Bulma: Good luck with that. I've sealed off the Gravity Room.
  • Vegeta: Hah! No door can hold Vegeta!
  • Five minutes later
  • Vegeta: ...so, I blew up the Gravity Room.
  • Bulma: You're a moron.
  • Vegeta: A powerful moron!

I'm pretty sure he wants increased gravity...
