Hey there! Having fun?

Yeah, let's go with that.

Also I'm betting on Nappa showing up again by virtue of all his stock footage being on Earth, in a similar area as the Cell Games Arena. Along with him now being Hercule's manager and all.

Wasn't Nappa going to change his name, or was it changed to Hercule in the DBZA universe?

[up]Nonono, he FOUND Mark Satan and changed HIS name to Hercule.

I'm mostly wondering how they'll portray Super Saiyan 2 Gohan. I'm hoping they'll make him scarier than Mr. Popo.

I wonder if they'll do the Grand Kai tournament. It's complete filler, but so was the Maron episode. It could probably be covered in one, maybe two episodes; or even just as a Cut-Away in-joke moment during something else.

...really, I just want to see "Super Kaio-What?" get its moment.

Man, every single one of their jokes is absolutely hilarious.

I can't remember a single one I haven't laughed at.

Are they going to do the Broly film?

[up] They did say they planned to go until the Cell Saga. And that might go up to Movie 9 as well.

Ah, well then. Neat. Anywho, I'm watching Seasons 1 and 2 over again.

So they're not going to do the Buu saga? That's disappointing, but I guess I can't really blame them for not knowing where to go next after that due to the Time Skip.

I do wonder what TFS will do after the series, though.

Nah, I'm pretty certain they said they're doing the Buu Saga. They just probably meant they have plans in mind for jokes and character moments between now and the end of the Cell Saga.

It also depends on if time and their personal lives allow them to do the Buu saga. Hopefully they can, but if they can't, then that's fine, at least they've given us what they have so far.

What I recall hearing was that they intend to do the full series, but aren't going to promise anything farther than the end of the Cell Saga. I'm not an expert on this, though

[up] That's exactly right. They have no plans to stop at Cell, it's just that right now the Cell stuff is what they're focusing on since that's started just now.

Watching the Android Saga of DBZA and I'm curious about something, they new the Virus would sweep through the world and all that, why not just use the Dragon Balls to wish away the virus?

There are a lot of problems that could have been solved by clever application of the Dragon Balls. They could have gotten by without ever fighting Nappa and Vegeta at all, and then nearly the entire show would never have happened.

That's the problem with wish-granters. It's the kind of thing that's best not to focus on.

Seriously, just wish their pods opened. Space them. Seems to be useful for every species but Frieza's.

Seriously.

  • BULMA: I wish for you to kill the two Saiyans.
  • SHENRON: I cannot do that, for their power exceeds mine.
  • BULMA: I wish for you to move their pods into the sun.
  • SHENRON: Due to their great power, I would be unable to move them without their permission.
  • BULMA: I wish for you to move ONLY the pods.

And then the day was saved, Frieza never found out about Dragon Balls and thus never visited Namek or Earth, Earth never had Super Saiyans so Buu never happened, and the world lived happily ever after until the Androids showed up and slaughtered everyone.

For the Androids, as long as they still got a warning, they could just take Bulma's suggestion...

Given that Freeza is a Galactic Conqueror who regularly kills of entire species for shits and giggles, I don't think ignoring him would have been too good for Earth in the long run.

That situation would be less ignoring and more ignorance, since they learned of Freeza through Veget- wait, no. they learned of Namek through Vegeta. Encountering Feeeza was an example of everyone having the same goal at the same time.

I have a message from another time...

Yeah. Before Vegeta and Nappa landed, the only things they knew about aliens was that Goku's from an alien race that murders and sells planets, of whom the only survivors are himself, Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta. As far as anyone knows, Nappa and Vegeta are just hold-outs still doing what they do, and once they're dead, that's that.

King Kai knows better, but he didn't want Goku to have anything to do with Frieza in the first place, so he's not going to go out of his way to correct anyone.
