Nope. Hissy fit.

It's not so much that the hissy fit was his reason for trying to destroy the planet, so much as he was going to destroy the planet from the moment he arrived, and the hissy fit ruined the efforts at persuading him otherwise. Small but important distinction.

"When my girlfriend left, she took all my money. When your girlfriend left, she took all her money."

My favorite line from the new episode.

(Also, I thought they were going to do the Super Android 13 movie today.)

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.

I believe the correct term there was 'manipulated' Frieza, So he was probably the source of the legend. He has probably fought one before and just brought it up in conversation and the blocks start falling.

Krillin's line also basically says, "You're a worthless moocher, while I can provide for myself."

That, and "Hellzone Grenade" are the best parts of the episode to me.

"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."

Well, that was great.

Krillin's diss to Yamcha was art. It says a lot about Krillin that he won that argument when proved he was the one who was one who was worse off.tongue

I always thought the part in the anime where 17 and Piccolo were just wailing on each other back and forth was hilarious. The Elevator Music or whatever it was when they were punching each other so hard they were leaving fist imprints in each other's stomachs was merely icing on the cake.

Great episode.

I still think they could have made the super android 13 movie christmas-themed.

13 might make a good halloween themed movie I think.

Maybe, but it starts with everyone going shopping and it takes place mostly in the Arctic.

@Wander I don't think that's likely. There's nothing about Kuririn that would make the child more technologically inclined. Trunks is still Bulma's kid, and she didn't have anything to offer him aside from the Time Machine and a fridge.

If Kuririn being the father would change anything, their son would refuse to go back in time because he thinks he can prove Future 18 isn't that bad and then he gets killed because the Future Androids are in fact that bad.

edit: also in that scenario Cell might still kill everyone, because it was losing to the Androids that made Goku decide to use the room. The Androids being defeated really makes it hard to predict what will happen next.

Speaking of the future androids, I'm disappointed that this didn't make it into even the honorable mentions.

Honestly, and I might be giving the series too much credit on this part, I think the whole "Imma destroy the Earth" was a Batman Gambit on Beerus' part to get the Saiyans to not hold back in a fight. Given that he didn't fall through with his threat kinda of backs it up.

But yeah, I dislike the movie because it really solidified the whole "If you're not Goku or Vegeta fuck off" mentality with both Gohan and Gotenks getting one-shotted unceremoniously.

@Cru, Krillin can't/doesn't provide for himself, he's constantly mooching of master Roshi.

Really, I liked their argument, but that one line doesn't work for on the simple fact that actually thinking about it makes Krillin look worse in every possible way.

Honestly, the way I read Krillin's burn is that while they both are losers Krillin, unlike Yamcha, actually had something to offer in his relationship.

[up]Ditto.

As for the more technological future warrior, Krillin puts less of an emphasis on raising a fighter than Vegeta, so Bulma might get to raise a decently strong guy her way.
