Well being real, there were moments at which Shenron was among the most powerful beings on the planet. Would be hard to harvest, though, but apparently they got some Vegeta and Frieza cells in the short time they were there...

I mean, even when Shenron's not really powerful he's still got some really unique shit going for him.

Vegeta I can kinda understand but when and how did Dr. Gero get Frieza's DNA? He didn't even know of Namek until the Z Fighters told him.

"Seriously, the f*ck is Namek?!"

From the itty bitty burnt pieces Trunks left of Mecha-Frieza.

Dr. Gero didn't get Freeza's DNA, the computer did. It was working on Cell on auto-pilot the whole time after Gero stopped watching himself.

The computer was all like "you gonna eat those smouldering bits of alien? Dibs."

Also, in Cell's timeline the battle probably took slightly longer unless Goku was feeling particularly curbstompy that day and decided to drop the inevitable "I'll give you one last chance to stop this now and survive with what little you have left yadda yadda" spiel that - being Goku - he more than likely would have made otherwise, since Trunks wasn't there to be all pragmatic and end it as fast as possible. So it might've had even more opportunity to study and/or take samples from Freeza.

Then again, he might have just taken care of Freeza immediately like he did with Recoome and (if I'm remembering correctly) Nappa. You never know with that Goku guy.

Goku knocked out those two guys rather than kill them. According to Goku logic, that's already giving them a second chance.

My guess is that Goku would've stomped Mecha-Freezer, since that's the one guy who pushed Goku's buttons into not giving second chances to his enemies anymore. Goku didn't think of doing it with Cell or Yakon, and when he did it with Buu, it was via reincarnation.

He said to Trunks he was just going to finish Freeza off if Trunks hadn't intervened. His mercy was pretty much absent since Freeza turned it down on Namek.

Vegeta's blood was all over the battlefield against Goku, Krillin, Yajirobe and Gohan, so thats a lot of DNA for Cell.

Would the tail still have been giant?

I'm saying no. With the tail dead, it's no longer producing any midichlorians blutz-wave hormones, and so would revert

I have a message from another time...

GERO: Blood spatter here, skin sample there, I think this might be a piece of Goku's ear. What else is there—oh my god, is that an entire tail?! Oh, it's Christmas!

Just occured to me that Vegeta is the planetary equivalent of a really sketchy used car salesman.

The one that butts in when Nappa or Raditz is in the middle of a sale and has almost hooked you with his earnestness and straightforward attitude, to be like, "THIS is how you make a sale," and then is so aggressive, full of himself, and blatantly taking advantage of you that it pisses you off and you walk out the door.

Then he goes to the others and is like, "That was YOUR fault because YOU'RE a bad salesman."

Gently used planets. With a couple craters in them. That smell of dead bodies.

And he probably got the planets illegally anyway.

I dunno, sounds like the last guy I almost bought a car from.

Frieza's Empire in general seems more like a corporate empire than a governmental one. He rules the intergalactic planet trade.

Who do they trade with, exactly? Who is that rich to buy a planet? Who has the need, except maybe for mining it for more wealth? How many planets have been traded? What is going on with the rest of the trade now that Frieza, King Cold and Cooler are dead?

So many questions...

Why does Frieza even need to run a business? If you're strong and amoral enough to take planets by force, surely you're strong and amoral enough to take money by force.

They trade the planets to people whose home planets have mysteriously exploded of course.

[up][up] Because he wants to, would be my guess.

Frieza is powerful enough to take whatever he damned well pleases. Having no possible needs that can't be fulfilled without consequence by brute force, Frieza exists in a world of nothing but wants. So with that in mind, why run the planet trade business? He probably enjoys it.

Why not just be emperor of the universe? That's a lot of responsibility. Why be a king for real when you can live like one instead?

Yes, and I have a good guess who caused them to explode.
