So was the Solar Flare. Even Cell used it.

You know what line cracks me up for some reason?

"Vegeta, are you okay?! Did Freezer do this to you?!"

Just the way he sounds like a parent asking if their child was bullied or something. Combined with Goku's insistence on calling him Freezer.

[up]Well, depending on who you ask, Freezer is his name, and Freeza/Frieza is something we silly Americans came up with because we didn't grasp the Theme Naming until too late, but whatever.

Frieza still contains the sound of the necessary word "freeze", keeping the theme naming.

It's not exact, but it's not a Ginyu Force or Ozzie/Slash/Flea situation either.

[up][up]Oh I agree. I feel the people who go follow the "Freezer" idea to be trying a little too hard.

That, and it may be Masako's natural English Accent. I notice that they tend to add "R" sounds to words that end with the letter A.

It's just that within DBZ Abridged he is formally known as Frieza, so hearing Goku call him Freezer is funny.

Freezer isn't the right way to romanize it, Freeza is.

You know, I DOOOOO SAY, I always liked Pikkon.

Was any of this, or any of him, canon?

I'd have loved to see an otherworld tournament with Pikkon, 16 and a reformed Dabura. And since they're all dead, I'd have loved to see much less in the way of rules.

Pikkon is purely filler. And movie, for Fusion Reborn.

plus it doesnt make sense for (weighted) Pikkon to manhandle Cell like that when he later struggles with base Goku

And Android 16 can't show up in Otherworld because he's a robot.

I always found it a shame 16 never got rebuilt, but I guess there was nothing left and he was too dangerous.

Also, Dabura enjoying Heaven was also filler. For all we know he might have actually found it torture, despite the hilarity of him just messing around with the dead people in the Buu saga.

A bit of a random question, but does anyone have a favourite "What if" from the games? The scenarios can sometimes get really outlandish and amusing but I only know very few of them.

I love the idea of Dabura becoming a Love Freak in heaven. It's just hilarious.

I really like the SSJ 3 Vegeta vs. every other SSJ 3 What If? if only for the sheer hilarity of it, especially with Broly randomly showing up to fight Vegeta as if they're old friends and Vegeta taking his arrival in stride.

The "what if Cell absorbed Krillin instead of 18" story from DBZ Budokai. It was just so strange.

And there's no way it can't have happened, since it was a nightmare Cell was having while standing in the Cell Games arena for 3 full days.

Oh, forgot about that one.

That may be my favorite.

Yamcha is the boss battle and then he's about to get murdered by Tien before waking up. Nightmare indeed.

[up][up]What would SSJ 3 Raditz's hair look like?
