That joke is so old it met King Kai before he made his planetoid.

But is it old enough to remember a time from before we were making jokes about it being old?

but HOW?

No, but it is old enough to remember a time Toriyama knew Launch existed.

Vegeta: "Let's find out! One! Two!" CHOMP

Vegeta hands the stick back to the kid and walks away, laughing

This is off topic...

But TFS' DBZ: Kakarot LP does use the end of this OP's song as the intro to the videos...so why not?

And they're currently on the Boo Saga anyway, so doubly why not?

I'd personally put Trunks going Super Saiyan Rage a bit higher. Zamasu doing that whole speech about how everything is Trunk's fault, followed by Trunks losing it and those very satisfying big stompy feet as he walks forward. It's marred by how the actual battle the following episode was very disappointing and didn't live up to the buildup, but on its own it is a real nice scene.

[up]I just don't like how there's no explanation behind that form.

I mean Rosè is easy enough to fan wank away, but that one?

If it had green hair then it could be Trunks tapping into the same power as Neo-Broly, but as it stands, this is all a big shrug

That would require Trunks to have been born with a tail, which he probably wasn't considering Toriyama goes out of his way to get rid of them whenever he gets the chance.

Honestly, it started out just looking like he hit Super Duper Saiyan, but then the blue-ish aura started up to kinda sorta maybe-hint that it's similar to Blue somehow kinda?

Should have just left it at "Trunks goes Super Duper".

I still think both Trunks and Goten were born with tails, they were just cut out early because the cast already knows how much trouble they are.

Pan not being born with a tail makes perfect sense, she's a third generation hybrid, Saiyan gets lost inside all the human genes after a few mixes.

[up]Trunks was confirmed to have reached SSJ 2 way back in his spar with Goku.

I mean I find it difficult to believe he could've defeated Dabura otherwise.

Goten is easy to understand.

It's hard for me to imagine Vegeta agreeing to remove Trunks's tail, however.

[up] Then they should have just had him go Super Dee Duper Saiyan.

You forget Bulma raised Trunks alone during the first two years of his life.

And she dealt with Saiyans longer than anyone else in the cast.

I do forget that.

So, yeah, Vegeta didn't even get a vote. And that's nobody's fault but his own.

I can get behind that.

That's how it should be actually.

In hindsight, I can deal with Trunks and Goten not having tails. Pan too, either through cutting or the aforementioned greater human genetics.

Canon Broly is also justified in universe so that's ok.

There's no excuse for the Universe 6 Saiyans evolving to not need them though. That was going too far.

I dunno, thematically thay was intended to show they put the barbarism and savagery of their warrior culture behind them and became a force for justice and peace.

And every Saiyan who is either good or does a face turn doesn't have a tail or loses it, so it has become kinda of symbolic of that, even if accidental.

Even if Vegeta were around I doubt he'd care. And even if he did care, I doubt that would stop Bulma. It's not like Vegeta had any say in their daughter's name. Bulma makes decisions like that herself.

He really should assert himself more.

He should have at least been able to give Bulla a middle name.
