Season four hype!

Vegeta freaking over Trunks' death was legit great.

Super kinda does it too. With Freeza.

Like, mind you. I do sorta like people in hell being recognizeable in bits like everyone watching Majin Buu. I dont like the scene itself because it's unnecessry but them looking like themselves isnt a problem.

I can imagine that they "really" are a fluffy cloud, but they just look like they have their bodies for the sake of the audience having something interesting to look at.

That 100% goes out the window if they punch or fly or blast anything though.

Remember when all the dead villains were watching Goku and Majin Buu fight?

That was weird

Yes, I remember it.

It was a dumb, pointless, unnecessary scene.

Freeza has his own personal ((Home For Infinite Losers))...

That doesn't really contradict anything...

[up][up]Which they did...way before that, before the otherworld tournament.

It's not Heck, it's HFIL. Come on, man. This dub didn't get bowdlerized out the wazoo just so we could ignore their (honestly, kinda silly) effort to replace HELL with HFIL.

Freeza specifically calls it "Earth's Hell" at points.

Which is an odd detail.

Yes, I know.

I did not know planets had specific hells.

...It does make sense though, especially with the manga, because when they bring back Krillin after Freeza they have to specifically wish his soul back to Earth, otherwise hed come back in the vacuum of space where Namek used to be and die again.

I imagine Namekian hell would be the same as the actual planet. But more boring.

Also, it kinda bothers me that most interpretation of Freeza and Cell made the two be buddies even though once you consider their respective personalities, they being friends is borderline impossible.

Fighterz is an accurate representation of how the two would interact. They hate each other, constantly insult one another and probably will bicker about who is more powerful and who gets to kill Goku than actual work together.

Kinda like a villainous mirror to Goku and Vegeta.

Take away the connection Karrot though. What would they have to argue about?

I'd say Cell is more likely to wanna defeat Freeza as a HIRO Hetero.

I do actually prefer HFIL over Hell. Hell is just so boring and plain, why not have the underworld be called the Home For Infinite Losers? It's a sick burn and it's dumb and goofy, those are both positives.

[up][up] Two egocentric megapowered pricks that seek to dominate the entire universe. There Can Only Be One and they haven't tried to kill each other yet because killing Goku is a priority

Cell doesn't want to dominate the universe.

Vegeta ends up fucking Goku's very first and one of his very best friends.

Vegeta's ho is Kakarot's bro. To twist that saying.

...Also, one of the many things I like about Jaco is that they clarify that Gohan named him with "sky" in his name just because he fell from the sky. I can't remember if the anime mentioned that, but. I like it a lot.

"Goku" can mean "comprehending the sky".

"Han" can mean "cooked rice" by itself, although usually it's written with "Go" as part of the word, making it most literally "understanding cooked rice".

"Goten" most literally means "understanding heaven" which. I really like?

Yes, I remember it.

I was just talking about it.

It was a dumb, pointless, unnecessary scene.

I liked it. It makes the battle against Kid Buu feel more climactic, and that everything is coming full circle. Plus seeing all the villains root against Goku is just cool.

Cell using the wrong method to absorb Goku is the least of their discrepancies with the manga's canon. In fact, it's not even the worst violation of the universe's logic in that scene. That honor goes to Cell and Frieza, along with every other villain in Toei's additions, being given the special dispensation to keep their bodies when sent to Hell.

I wouldn't say Cell using full absorption on Goku is a violation of logic since Perfect Cell never had a reason to use it before, so there's nothing to say he can't. Plus getting Goku's entire body at once is a way better idea than draining him slowly. Remember how Piccolo was able to stop him after just an arm?

I mean. We never see Vegeta's dick. Maybe he doesn't have one.

Being frank, I don't think Bulma would've stayed with him if Vegeta didn't have a dick. This isn't reflecting my own views, this is what I think of Bulma.

Bulma could make then with science.

Also, maybe he's really amazingly good at eating out.

His name is Vageater for a reason.

Arguments based only on what we don't see or don't know can get really stupid really fast. Is the point I'm making.

EDIT: I could be wrong, but I don't think we ever see a vagina in the manga? We see Bulma's ass, but not what's on the front that causes Roshi's nosebleed.

...Also, in Jaco, Tights asks where Jaco pees from since he doesnt have a visible, external penis, which, people without penises can pee without that, and don't pee with their vagina, the urethra is separate, and with that and Bulma riding a motorcycle on a bumpy mountain road and not noticing she's not wearing panties, there might be basic things about vaginas that Toriyama seemingly doesnt know.
