[up] What i meant that, unlike canon, 18 and Krillin's relationship doesn't end with an ambiguous "maybe" because we clearly see (Or hear in this case) what happened before they get married. Canon just jumps into them being married and with a kid while DBZA at least has that scene at the end of Episode 60. So the "reveal" that Krillin and 18 are married isn't exactly a reveal here in abridged.

Another joke i expect is that Krillin is still broke but at least he has a family now and that motivates him to enter the tournament.

I mean. In the Buu Saga they live with Roshi, who in the anime pervs on and gropes 18 multiple times.

Small children like Marron really probably shouldnt be around Roshi just. In general.

It's kind of baffling how Krillin, being the strongest human alive, doesn't go out and build a house/cabin for his family like Goku did. Hell, 18 could have done it herself. Instead they chose to shack up with Roshi of all people with their daughter of all people.

I'm sure Bulma wouldn't have minded lending Krillin a portable capsule home either.

Hell, Turtle was telling Bulma about that when she brought Trunks to Kame House to watch the Cell Games.

Super shows them living in their own house.

Guess Krillen didn’t actually have a job during the Buu Saga & was just mooching off Roshi.

When we first meet Roshi he wants to see a 16 year olds panties, and the next time he makes a joke about how a 12 year old named Chichi doesnt have chichis yet.

He stole Bulma's shrink ray to spy on her in the bathroom.

And I hear in Super he gets really rapey.

I know he does wierd shit in the Tien episode but I've never actually seen it, but I have seen the part in Super where he buffs out in the TOP and a girl fighter thinks he's gonna rape her and flees the field of battle. (It was a misconception, but still, not exactly comedy gold, especially in a kid's show).

He carries the girl away for private training and gives her an outfit in the Ten episode, then the plot happens.

I though Krillin and his family moved out after they got the prize money from the tournament. But then i remembered that Krillin then got a job.

For a 40 something old man, Krillin looks very good for his age.

You can say that about everyone in this show. But yeah, it's a miracle that he looks so good even though he's a noseless bald midget.

[up] In battle of gods he could pass up as a 15 year old. And unlike his wife or the saiyans, he doesn't have an excuse for his lack of aging

Who do you think should voice Buu? Given how they handled Freeza and Cell's voice changes, I'd bet that one person would do all of Buu's voices. I could see Lani doing it, since his characters aren't very central to the Buu Saga and he has the range to voice both Fat Buu and Super Buu.

People say the same thing about all the Power Rangers. Guys who were on the air in the 90's show up in reunion episodes and they don't look like they've aged much, because many of them are martial artists and stay in great shape.

I do admit that Amy Jo Johnson doesn't really look like a woman...I think she should be in her forties now?

She was actually 28 in the first series if I recall.

@Sigil It wasn't a misconception, he was threatening her, saying that he was working hard to control her list and she had agitated him making her responsible for what he might do to her next.

She very reasonably took that as a rape threat.

Yamcha also makes Puar shapeshift into a human woman so Roshi can 'train' to curb his lust prior to the tournament. We cut away after they're locked into a room together and he starts chasing Puar around.

What the hell even is Yamcha and Puar's relationship.

I'm not saying that she didn't have reason to think that, just that it was, indeed, a misconception.

And Puar basically had no personality except being comparatively nicer than Oolong. He was basically Yamcha's lackey and that's basically it.

What I'm taking away from this is that Roshi is a terrible person who was kept in check only by the fact that Krillin and 18 could snap his whole island in half if he went too far while they were living with him.

Well, the whole thing with Puar was to train away his tendency to perve on women so that he didn't fuck up things during the tournament.

But now that I think about it, the Puar thing was both awful, and they ruined it anyway with that joke, even if he apparently didn't really intend to do it—which he apparently did, despite all my attempts to convince myself otherwise.

So Roshi is ruined again.

Despite being a martial arts master he seems to lack the very important tenant of self-control.
