Man, it is a shame that they aren't doing Buu because this Shortz did some fantastic work setting up the sheer desperation and the depths to which Vegeta will sink in six years' time (one has passed as of this short) to get that fight with Goku.
After the events of the Cell arc, Lapis became a park ranger. This was originally just Word of God, but then was fully canonized in Super. TFS has a few references to it, such as in the History of Trunks special where he talks about how he's always wanted to range parks.
Thus, Lazuli owing him a tiger is a Noodle Incident referencing his new vocation.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.What the hell was up with Gohan's "In 30 years, you'll know" line for why he was learning Chinese? Was that an out-of-universe reference to something happening right now, because 30 years after that point in canon would be 9 years after when GT is set, so I don't think anything really happens then (unless it's a reference to Online)?
Popo stays the entire arc out of comission because he's high on another gallon of LSD again.
The Buu Arc, it's easy to forget, takes place over a single day.
My thinking was that eating Good Buu wouldn't actually make Buu into Super Buu. He's be Morally Neutral Buu, and would go to the Lookout being childish but a little smarter. He'd see Popo, catch him off guard, eat him, and then he'd turn into Super Buu. Everybody's fear of Popo instantly transfers over.
Saw a review of Tree of Might the other day, pointing out that they never really gave a good explanation of why Turles looks exactly like Goku, and since the movie makes a point of saying that Goku would have turned out like Turles if he hadn't hit his head as a baby, that the movie would be improved by having Turles actually be a Goku from an alternate timeline where he never hit his head. That seems like such an interesting idea, though I'm sure Toriyama will never use it, especially considering Goku Black exists.
I guess he could be evil Goku from Universe 6. That would sort of defeat the idea that Universe 7 is the bad universe though.

Is the tiger a reference to some piece of toriyama Word of God? Loved the smackdown of 18 calling Vegeta a c**t. Really like the new Dragon Ball FighterZ art-style.

You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid
