[up]Gohan is ultimate and Gotenks did not use SS 3. Remember Beerus power level can't be sensed because it is on another tier so Gotenks would have no idea how strong he was. Hell they likely thought that Gohan had not been beaten already.

You look happy, I can change that if you want.

He'd know since the guy beat up Gohan just before that. Boo also can't be properly sensed, and that didn't stop him from fusing immediately as a Super Saiyan 3 against him when he knew it was necessary.

[up][up][up] Gohan is not Ultimate, he's a sloppily recolored Super Saiyan. Goten and Trunks were right there when the supposedly Ultimate Gohan was beaten, yet they think they can take the Gohan-stomper with just SS?

That's what happens when you have two super-cocky-but-relatively-inexperienced kids who fuse: an ultra-cocky kid who wouldn't know what the right thing to do in a fight was if it smacked them over the head.

Except he did know the right thing to do, we saw him do it in the Buu arc the second time SS-3 Gotenks showed up.

[up][up][up]The recolor thing really got to you. We know that was a mistake that they fixed. Trunks and Goten probably grew in strength so they may have thought the fused form was stronger or that they would not need to right away.

[up]That was the second time not the first. Which he did because he was told not to be an idiot.

It doesn't matter if they fixed it, since the story still has him as a SS, not Ultimate.

Trunks and Goten didn't grow in strength. They hadn't even been training, just screwing around. Goku explicitly said that.

No, he just did it himself right away, because he knew how powerful Buu was. The first time, when he screwed around, he didn't know. He should know how powerful Beers is, he just saw him smack down not-Ultimate Gohan. So him not going SS-3 means A. that wasn't Ultimate Gohan, B. he doesn't have SS-3, or the most likely option, C. both.

SO MAYBE WE SHOULD BE DISCUSSING THE ABRIDGED SERIES AND YOU CAN ALL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO ARGUE WHETHER VEGETA BEING A THIRD OF AN INCH TALLER IN THE 57TH MOVIE IS A MAJOR PLOT HOLE OR IF IT WAS A WIZARD!

Whats the next episode about? I never really saw the events that happened between the death of Frieza and the Cell games, what comes next?

I think it's more of Vegeta getting his ass handed to him by 18.

What, just an entire episode of 18 completely emasculating Vegeta?

....I'd watch that.

Vegeta gets healed then goes off to sulk (I think he's pretty much finished off after the arm break). Goku gets moved to Roshi's. 18 gets some new clothes.

So you think it'll be one episode or two until we finally get to see Imperfect Cell?

Is it true they're going to have him do a rhyming gimmick, or what with his voice?

I only know the video that they did before the Android Saga was started.

I think it'll be in probably episode 41 or 42. There's enough content to not have it be next episode, and they might be able to fill 41 up with Piccolo merging with Kami and Trunks finding the time machine.

So, my roommates and I sat down and watched the Season 1 compilation. Wonder if we're going to continue it together, because I enjoyed the first arc quite a lot.

These recent episodes really aren't doing anything for me. That may have something to do with the Cell arc being my least favorite arc by far, and the stretch from 20's defeat to Cell's debut just being really boring.

It's going to be great when these stupid little shits get absorbed by Cell, though. The Abridged Series made them just as insufferable as their source material incarnations.

@_@

So I have a question to ask you guys. Taking out GT, how do you think Freeza & King Cold would respond to Cell, since he's got their genetics in him? Disgusted racism, or pride? Or what?

Apparently Frieza and Cell became bros in the five minutes Goku was dead, so...

Filler, video games, and GT all suggest Frieza and Cell develop an odd sort of friendship, but I dunno if that's really what would happen in that kind of scenario.

The show is fairly quirky, though, and as serious as they're played they're both still fairly quirky villains, so I suppose it's possible.

[up][up][up] Nothing would happen, since Cell, Freeza, and Cold would be immediately stripped of their bodies (so there'd be nothing for them to comment on), then their souls would be quickly purified in Hell and then reincarnated.

Okay... how about if they were alive, then? If someone used the Dragon Balls to wish them back to life?

I'm pretty sure as evil souls they've been dead for too long and have been purified and reincarnated by the point Cell is born.

Hey, I tried by asking about how TFS was going to handle Cell. I just wanted to make sure the seemingly ever-ending BOG argument stays freakin' dead.
