I like how oddly Goku-like Gohan's line about no one being lactose-intolerant in heaven is.

The funniest part to me about that line is that Gohan's full of shit, making it even more Goku-like.

At this point, Krillin's died twice to Gohan's never. Krillin has a much greater claim to expertise on this subject matter than Gohan does. If Krillin thinks being lactose-intolerant applies to Heaven, I'm inclined to trust his judgment on the matter.

Gohan only died once right?

Satan is the ONLY character who does not die in Dragonball or Dragonabll Z. Well, not counting people who live in Otherworld already.

[up]Didn't Satan die in Super when Frieza blew up the planet? Or does that not count since Whis hit rewind?

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

Satan dying to Freeza blowing up the planet matters just as much as him dying in Trunks' timeline. If you think the latter counts, then sure. As an aside, Krillin didn't go to Otherworld when he died the first time, since King Piccolo is a demon, Krillin's soul was doomed to wander for eternity.

Does that apply to new Piccolo? Is that one Saibamen caught in limbo for eternity? Do Saibamen have souls?

The whole reason Goku went to Otherworld is because that rule doesn't apply to Piccolo Jr. Kami made a point of specifically noting that after Goku and Raditz were killed by him.

Does Kai have the original music or the Falconer soundtrack?

OG Kai had a brand new soundtrack that was removed due to plagiarization, and replaced by the original soundtrack. Unfortunately the replacement was done very poorly, so the soundtrack does not have a lot of impact most of the time.

Buu Kai had a brand new soundtrack made for it, which was plagiarization free.

They had a really epic song playing during the Kid Buu fight called “Let It Burn.”

It was seriously badass. [tup][awesome]

[up][up] What sucks is that, while heavily plagiarized, the old Kai soundtrack kicked loads of ass and greatly enhanced a lot of scenes.

Yes, the old Kai soundtrack kicked ass, but it kicked ass because it was plagiarized from music that also kicked ass.

If Krillin thinks being lactose-intolerant applies to Heaven, I'm inclined to trust his judgment on the matter.

On the other hand, if Killian just assumed his intolerance transfered over to Heaven, he probably didn't even try any offered sundaes.

[up][up] Unless we assume that literally all of it was plagiarised, then no, some of it just kicked ass on its own.

I know he plagarised a lot, but are you saying he copied for literally every track? Because that's news to me.

Neither did Chiaotzu, and he was the one around whom the "Free sundae with third visit" rule for the afterlife was introduce.

Chiaotzu was dead from the fight with Nappa, through the entire trip to Namek, all the events on Namek, until he got wished back 260 days after Namek explodes. He was dead for quite a while. Krillin died fighting Freeza and got wished back 130 days later by Porunga.

As an aside, I love how pissed off Tien is about the serial escalation leaving the humans behind. Yamcha's moved on with his life and has a baseball career. Krillin's cool with just rolling with it, becoming a really great supporting character as Everyone's Best Friend. It's really only Tien who's become steadily more and more furious at the humans' irrelevance.

  • Tien: What are we even doing here anymore?!
  • Yamcha: Well, I brought towels.

For as many jokes as have been made at Yamcha's expense, I think this exchange really highlights the tragedy of Tenshinhan. Cell's already pointed out that Yamcha's towels have contributed more to this tournament than Vegeta. They contributed more than Tien too.

Yamcha can't beat Tien at arm-wrestling. He's never going to be Tien's equal as a fighter. But he has something Tien never will: a life. Yamcha and Krillin are both entirely content with being supporting cast. They understand the idea that just because you aren't the Belle of the Ball doesn't mean you don't have value. And they're happier for it.

Now if only the human fans could do the same as Krillin and Yamcha.

Yamcha actually having a job, unlike everyone else in the cast pre-Super, was actually the whole reason I started liking him. I agree that the way they've been writing the humans in this part of the series is really good.
