You watched Dragonball for the fights? O.o I wanted to know what would happen to the characters. Because, y'know, I liked the characters.

And what happened is that the characters got into fights.

Yeah, but I didn't give a shit about that part; X-Men had me covered on that front. I watched it for the jokes, because I was 5 and an idiot.

I don't really know why I watched dragon ball... I didn't know the characters well until Cell, and at no point until Buu did I actually have the occasion to watch full fights, and I hated the Buu arc then.

Maybe it was just the concept of DBZ that I liked.

/watched DBZ because it was the cool show at the time and all my friends were watching it.

I am probably one of the few people in my generation who didn't watch DBZ. But now I have this, so it's all good.

I got into it near the end of the Frieza saga, then watched pretty much everything from Garlic Jr. through Cell, then fell out of touch with the franchise for the Buu stuff. So I guess you could say I caught the middle, but missed the beginning and end (except through online summaries)grin

You know, I liked the Garlic Jr. Arc. They handled stuff alright without Goku and Vegeta. Unfortunately, Krillin was unlucky (though 18 was a definite step up from Marron), and it relied on Garlic Jr. being fairly stupid, but they got the win.

I saw most of the Android and Imperfect Cell saga, missed most of Perfect Cell, and caught the first few parts of the Buu saga, up until Majin Vegeta's sacrifice or so.

I know we've linked it before, but...

This is why Goten wasn't mad Goku wasn't around for the first 7 years of his life:

Did the show ever deal with why Chi Chi was always "Gohan needs to go to school and ignore fighting" by with Goten it was all "IMMA PUNCH YOU TILL YOU GET STRONG!"?

cause Gohan already fullfiled that fetish ? tongue

either that,or since Goten looked so much like Goku,Chi Chi made some further assumptions [lol]

Well, traditionally the eldest son is the one who has to provide for the parents when they retire, so Chichi's probably harder on Gohan to ensure she doesn't have to be old and sickly on a hermit/ass-kicker's salary.

She was impressed with how rich Gohan's girlfriend was...

[up][up][up][up] Well, that was mostly filler, she showed him kumite in the manga but didn't force him to fight or any shit like that.

And it was said that after Goku's death she became less strict, which is also why she let Gohan take a month of school to train and enter the tournament.

Didn't Goten go Super Saiyan sparring with Chichi?

Yep. And that caused her to worry about having another person more likely to break stuff around the house.

And more likely to get killed.

Only in filler. The manga doesn't say, since it's been so long that Goten doesn't remember (and doesn't really care) but it's implied it was his "play" fights with Trunks.

[up] No, she was just worried he'd become a delinquent (because of the blonde hair).

Is that based on the whole "Dying your hair yellow in Japan is a sign of delinquency" thing?

[up][up]Maybe in Japan. In the dub, she specifically said, "NOT ANOTHER ONE!!!"

Does anyone else mentally add sound effects when they hear the word kumite (WHA-CHAA!)?

We all have, or are, that friend, who would buy the Superman Goku shirt. Video has cool music, and Taka is Loki.
