I mean, specifically that bit about being in stasis for a few years while your creator kept repeating "kill Goku" in your subconscious.

That's basically the relationship Piccolo Jr. had with Daimao.

EDIT: This got moved to a new page.

Episode 46.

Gero is a lot like Briefs. That a Mad Scientist thing?

Bulma doesn't seem to have it.

She mostly just shoots children.

Also, with Dr. Briefs mentioning children plural, I guess that's a reference to Tights?

Man, that whole fight was hilarious.

Hah, so some of them were meant to be eaten another way?

He was eating the clones of Mrs. Briefs, right? Dirty up your mind a bit.

Wait, I thought those were clones of Bulma? My bad.

Also, I know what he meant. My surprise was the suggestion that he contemplated that being done to his daughter.

Great episode. Still annoyed with Tien pretending he's not in the same boat as Krillin and Yamcha but hey, even their little back-and-forth was funny.

Well, he's gonna have his little moment soon, and then he'll do nothing for the rest of the show.

[down]And to think Nail was "meh" on it. They packed a couple great jokes into that one move...

Man, that burn Krillin gave Yamcha. So much burn no amount of Lava Cookies, Lumiose Galettes, Full Heals or Heal Powder can cure it. Give that man a Senzu. Give him all the Senzus.

"Hellzone Grenade" is a cool name, yes.

He used his Butt-Monkey status to trump Yamcha's status. Shouldn't that have ticked a Krill'own'd count?

No, he was pointing out that at least he brought something to his relationship. Yamcha just brought "being a complete waste".

I would think coming out a relationship much worse than going in would not be preferable to staying in the same position the whole time.

Plus, Yamcha and Bulma had an actual relationship, while Marrion was simply setting Krillin up while at the same time having him waste 500,000 zeni or whatever on her which he still needed to pay back.

In either scenario Krillin comes out looking worse to me, but then again, I might just be overthinking it.

What if Krillin and Bulma dated? Krillin has been shown to be sweet, and a good and dedicated family man. Maybe they'd make each other better in some way. Yamcha did nothing for Bulma that we know of, and Vegeta just gave her Saiyan dickings. Maybe instead of a Super Saiyan savior coming back in time, we'd have had a tech-warrior future knight. Then they might've been quicker to shut down the Androids, and Cell would've been owned. Vegeta may never have gone Super Saiyan out of BS means.

And then they'd have been right and proper FUCKED when Buu and Dabura showed up.

We're assuming that Babadi would've got Buu released under that chain of events.

Without the Cell arc to kick Vegeta's Goku complex into overdrive, we might not have had him screwing everyone over by going Majin and feeding Buu's shell.

Oh no, without Bulma and eventually Trunks mellowing him out, he'd definitely have gone Majin if he was still on the planet. Or else, he'd have buggered off into space to train endlessly... but he couldn't do that because Bulma wouldn't build it for him... so he'd be stuck on Earth knowing he had inferior access to training as compared to Goku, and probably would've jumped at the chance to go Majin.

...and then would've gotten rekked by Goku anyway, but at a lower power level, thus Buu might not have been released, and Dabura would've possibly been the strongest until Beers showed up.

And without Buu around, Beers would've gotten his fair share of pudding, thus saving the world.

[up]Buu refused to share any with him and it pissed him off.

....Goddamnit. I thought he was just some super powerful diety out to prove his superiority of something. Not a man-child throwing a temper tantrum.

Well, he is a god of destruction. He's the guy who only has a hammer, and that hammer is "DESTROY EVERYTHING".

And he is also a manchild throwing a temper tantrum.

[up][up]Nope. He just wanted to have fun and perhaps destroy a planet or two.

Edit: Remember, apparently he's the one who told Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta because he thought the king wasn't polite enough. Aren't retcons great.

Beerus had nothing to prove. He curbstomped Super Saiyan 3 Goku in, like, ten seconds. He was firmly established to be untouchably powerful even by the Super Saiyans from the get-go, and the only reason he was here was because he had the words "Super Saiyan God" stuck in his head and wanted to figure out what it meant.

Because of how unspeakably powerful he was and his nature as a God of Destruction, his time spent on Earth largely consisted of Vegeta desperately trying to entertain him to keep him from blowing the Earth up on a whim. This went to hell when Buu refused to share a pudding cup, eating the entire tray himself in response to Beerus's request for one.

Having yet seen the movie(and mostly not caring of something is spoiled or not) I just assumed there was some reason for the fight beyond hissy-fit.
