Has there been a "Two Nameks Play" with Nail and Piccolo? Because I'd love to see that.

Even if it wasn't Minesweeper.

[up] That is an amazing idea. It'd work well if they wanted something for single player games, too.

They should start with Minesweeper, of course.

I don't know how they would actually play two player games though. What with there only being a single pair of hands between them.

... Ya know, Yugi could potentially play the game against himself, and legitimately not know his opponent's next move.

Random thought here, but do you think King Vegeta was proud of his grandson for killing Frieza?

He probably didn't care, being in HFIL and all. grin

"Who is this purple-haired bitch and how is he able to kill Frieza?"

"Oh, my grandson? Well, it takes a Vegeta to get the......."

"HIS NAME IS WHAT?!"

Considering Frieza also went to HFIL, Vegeta and Bardock probably take the time to mock him.

Would King Vegeta really have gone to hell? It seems like there's a pretty high tolerance for misdeeds in the afterlife. Remember, the first time around, the Ginyus didn't go to hell. And they did way worse shit.

Filler tells us they just went to not-hell to train Z fighters.

"Purple" haired?

Trunks's hair? It's either purple or grey in most depictions I've seen. I usually think of it as grey though, and when he killed Freeza his hair was yellow.

@MNF: Most Saiyans went to Hell when they died, even if they didn't show it. Yes, (not counting the duplicitous canon of Episode of Bardock), even Goku & Vegeta's dads. They slaughtered planets wholesale, under Frieza's order's yes, but they were still genocidal murderers who took pride in their prowess.

His natural hair always looked purple to me, so that's what I went with.

Didn't Bardock get redeemed by his time travelling and saving his race?

Wait, if he travelled back in time, when did he go to hell, in his present, or the distant past he died in?

I'm beginning to think this series might be silly.

Was that whole plot canon? If so, then he'd have been in Hell at the same time he was born too.

There's no official canon for Dragon Ball, so it's up to you if you want to accept Episode of Bardock or not. And we don't know what happens after that ends, either, so we don't know if he even redeemed himself.

Wander's right about the Ginyu's, though. They only went to Kaio's planet in filler because Kaio invited them.

Anyway, we don't ever see King Vegeta in hell even in anime filler like the others. In the manga, all those sent to hell aren't given their bodies back and get reincarnated. The anime seems to follow this until the Ginyu Force are given their bodies and invited to Kaio's planet, due to exceptional circumstances. But then after that all villains in hell just have their bodies for no explanation, so it seems they've forgotten, or deliberately ignored it for filler purposes.

You'd think they wouldn't want to give the villains their bodies back.

Oh, I missed the word "grandson", so I thought you were talking about Vegeta or Goku, not Trunks. Yeah, Trunks' hair is purple.

Saiga, I believe this happened once before. Most of the people here, when they say "In canon", really mean "In continuity", rather than "Written by Toriyama".

I know it's not the correct use of the word, but do keep that in mind.

So, the question here is actually whether Episode of Bardock is supposed to have actually happened, or whether it's more of a "What If?" story.

As for King Vegeta in HFIL, that was more of a joke on my part, as I loved the mental image of him and Bardock mocking Frieza for being killed by a "Monkey".

I'm reasonably certain you can't be killed by other ghosts in the afterlife. The real danger is from someone solid, like Buu, showing up.

I wonder what Super Saiyan Bardock's power level was, because if Super Saiyans have similar base power levels, that's an enormous jump for him and Budokai's What If? Saiyan Saga Vegeta.

I think the Super Saiyan transformation is actually multiplicative or something.
