Well, he was 120 million to Goku's 150 million. To me, that's a pretty big gap. So I think there's room for him to get a noticeable increase and still lose, especially since Cold is weaker than pre-Mecha Freeza.

I think it could go either way, personally. It's plausible for both of them to be able to defeat Goku or lose to him even with the improved position.

Who would Universe A's Trunks have as a father? As long as you're considering that non-canon option, I get to consider that Bulma and Krillin boned on Namek.

I think Trunks' father was always Vegeta. There is no alternate universe where Trunks was born without Vegeta as the dad.

[up][up]Alternate Universe logic(Example Trunks):If Trunks exist then Vegeta had the kid with Bulma, If he doesn't exist then Vegeta doesn't have the kid with Bulma.

(S.M.):This has been A.U. logic with Randomness 4, see ya later folks.

I mean, every version of Trunks we've seen has gone Super Saiyan.

I don't think Goku would cheat on Chi Chi, because he wouldn't have lived long enough to have a heart attack, but mostly because he doesn't really strike me as that sexual a being. His own children strike me as more of a result of Chi Chi "convincing" him than his own initiative.

So if Goku isn't the dad, then the only other potential fathers that would make him part Saiyan would be Gohan and Nappa. And Tarble. And Broly and Paragus I guess, considering they don't die until the week of the Cell Games and Trunks was already two at that point.

I just realized something. Frieza's not dead! He's got two extra lives!

I never liked Gohan's line there. What else could Krillin have done? What was he doing?

It was just one of the very few lines in the series that didn't work for me.

That was kind of the point, no?

He was making Freeza stronger! As to what he could have done, the answer is not make Freeza stronger!

Yeah, Gohan was blaming Krillin for something that wasn't his fault at all, because Krillin is the Butt-Monkey and everything bad that happens is his fault. That was the joke.

Also, Freeza used his two extra lives. He used one when he was blown up by the Spirit Bomb, and the other when he bisected himself and then the planet exploded.

Ah, I didn't get that joke, then.

He said it right after Freezer got the extra lives. Its about 50/50 on understandable joke scale though. I don't know how extra lives make him stronger though or why the multiplier reset after two 1-ups.

I think Kuririn said "I can't do anything" after Gohan said that anyway.

[up][up][up] Saiga prefers to use the Japanese names for things. I got no problem with it.

Not only that, Kuririn is from the English manga as well, which I own and have been reading for years. I don't watch the anime.

Well this is kind of a DBZ Abridged thread, so it'd probably be best to use the names it uses, for consistency's sake.

#4494: Aug 7th 2013 at 7:32:35 PM

Errrrrr no. DBZA isn't even consistent with the names it uses.

They mix them up all the time. Kienzan/Destructo Disc, Tien/Tenshinhan, etc. They don't have a consistent naming scheme.

I think I recall it being Gohan in particular who uses "Kienzan" and "Tienshinhan"

And Gohan is a nerd.

There are no coincidences.

Best Destructo Disc/Disk moment was when Vegeta used it, and Krillin just goes "THE FUCK!?"

I think that was in Abridged Kai.

Season 2 Abridged Kai, please!

Tien seems to be used like a nickname for Tenshinhan, since that's kind of a mouthful. Like how you call a Robert "Rob".
