They were outside the time range of the mass revive wish, while 16 wasn't.

I get a feeling they're going to stick to canon for Gohan's SSJ 2 transformation. They did it for Krillin's death.

Do you guys realise, lesser writers would have probably turned Goku's Super Saiyan transformation into another joke at Krillin's expense. I'm so glad they played it straight in the end.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

There were many deleted scenes that were making it a Kuririn joke. I really wish they kept the "Chaozu impression" one. Could have done that before Freeza shows up again.

Then Goku turning Super Saiyan is his Tenshinhan impression and he doesn't really get what impressions are supposed to be.

That Chiaotzu impression one was hilarious.

Also, spellcheck recognizes "Chiaotzu" for some reason.

Actually I think they're going to go in another direction with Gohan turning Super Saiyan 2. You know how he's been building up this resentment towards Goku for a while now? His transformation is going to be him finally snapping at Goku's piss poor parenting.

Episode overall was great, Tien's last stand was awesome and Goku basically trolling the shit out of everyone was great (specially the paraphrased "now we have friends strong enough to do something!" "Silly Gohan, we haven't been in the chamber yet!")

Just realized the ep title is what the Nappa voice says if you use Tri-Beam/Neo-Tri Beam in Xenoverse.

The standard one barely did anything to Nappa. This one kept Cell at bay.

You know, I know Krillin may be stronger than Tien, but Tien is a lot more badass than Krillin.

Tien didn't get as many opportunities to get pounded as Krillin. If he did, I doubt his record would be any better.

To me, anyway, badass as a quality is more about attitude and demeanor, rather than how much ass you can/have kicked. Or at the very least, how awesome you can look while losing.

Like, Vegeta is all types of badass, and he regularly gets his shit kicked in.

Well I've always found Abridged!Tien's demeanor annoying so I can't really agree with that. I can't speak about the source material because he doesn't really have much going for him.

But, really, demeanor means nothing if you can't back it up and he stopped being able to back it up a long time ago.

Edit: Or to be more specific, there's never been a point in the abridged series where he could back it up which just makes it all the more annoying.

I didn't say your opinion was wrong, I was just stating my opinion based on what you said.

Well, okay.

Also, who in this series would you say is the most rational character?

At least of the good guys.

Yeah, I think everyone has gotten their silly or irrational moment at one point or another.
