Do you like Supreme Kai before or after his fusion?

I just hope that when the Buu saga comes around, they point out how Vegeta is an impatient moron who still could have had his fight with Goku after they'd stopped Majin Buu if he'd just waited a little longer.

[up][up] And how selfish he was for the miracle of a person coming back from the dead to spend a day with his friends and family all about him and his grudges?

"Screw all that, I get to fight Kakarrot! Why won't you fight me right now, Kakarrot? Nothing else matters, we're supposed to fight! Don't make me turn evil again, cause I totally will!"

[up][up][up] That wasn't the problem. It was when he realized from watching Goku fight that he would lose that battle when the time came.

Then after having his power unlocked, suddenly he was just too pissed off at what he did to wait.

[up] It's not all that miraculous, really. Goku didn't need to be dead to begin with.

isnt the Supreme Kai the Only Sane Man of the Buu Saga?even if Earth is basically his Namek.

Pretty much, yeah. When he's not fanboying out over how stupid-powerful the Super Saiyans are, he's facepalming over how stupid-stupid they are. He's also the latest in a long line of people to put all their faith in Gohan to be the ultimate shonen action hero and be miserably disappointed.

Do you like Supreme Kai before or after his fusion?

Before. He's the same guy afterward, just in a clunky, distractingly large body that doesn't fit his personality at all.

Vegeta's Impatience

Vegeta was fine with being patient with Goku spending the day with friends and family. He was one of the friends, and finally settling their score was on Goku's agenda of things to do. It was the sudden time-burning distraction of, "Majin Buu is happening, let's go do that instead of having that fight I promised you!" and everything that came of it that finally snapped Vegeta.

Neither Goku nor Vegeta actually thought Majin Buu was a big deal until he awakened. Up to that point, they were treating him as a big joke, and the way Vegeta saw it, Goku was going to waste all his time on this stupid, pointless endeavor, and they would never have their fight, and then Goku's time would be up, he'd return to the afterlife, and Vegeta would NEVER see him again; not even in death, never.

From Vegeta's perspective, this was Goku's Last Goodbye, and he'd rather spend it fighting random aliens for some asshole who showed up out of nowhere than fulfilling the closure his friends and family wanted.

Oh Gamikai, I can see the aftermath of Gohan Masenkoing Bulma now. XD

"Oh, Gohan, you have no idea how much I needed... oh, son of a bitch, not again."
"What?"
"Where's your condom?!"
"I don't know what that is."
/Flashback to Gohan's abstinence-only home school sex ed.

Then later...

/Chichi's phone rings.
"Uh, hey, mom. So, uh, you know how whenever I come to visit you pester me the entire time about when I'm gonna settle down and have a kid? Well, uh, congratulations! You're gonna be a grandma..."
"Oh, Gohan, that's wonderful! When do I get to meet my future daughter-in-law?"
"Er, well, you've actually already met... Hang on, let me pass the phone."
"..."
"Hiiiii, Chichi..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...I'm not going to call you 'mom.'"

Later still...

"Seriously, what kind of name is 'Bra?' Do you want her to grow up to be a stripper?"
"Hey, my great aunt Brassiere invented the flying car! And at least a stripper is independent! Just because your mother was happy spending her entire life in the kitchen for a husband that was never around doesn't mean I want my daughter named after a cooking utensil!"
"I told you, it means 'bread!'"
"Oh, because that's a lot better!"

Huh. Bran. At first I thought Game Of Thrones, but that name would work as a combination both of the grain theme from Gohan and the underwear theme from Bulma. Bra-n.

I wonder how powerful Bran would be.

I mean, if we take the God ritual in literal context, Pan had the power to go SSJ at the age of womb. Also, since Bra is a post-Frieza Saga Half-Saiyan like Goten and Trunks, I'm sure she'd ascend to SSJ pretty quickly too.

With that in mind, would Bran be more powerful than Gotenks?

I'm curious as to what their original content would be. I guess we'll see if they can truly branch out.

Then just watch the videos one their website. It's more up-to-date and I'm pretty sure it uses flash player.

There have been times where the video doesn't load when I've played it or it crashed in the middle.

It's kinda annoying.

The only thing I can really say to that is make sure your flash player and web browser are up-to-date. I've had flash player crash on me before but, oddly enough, only one YouTube (and once on Crunchyroll).

I've been up to date.

My internet connection speed isn't the best in the world, but, at the same time, I don't think they should have a video player that requires that good a connection to begin with.
