But he says "I am neither Goku nor Vegeta. I am the one who will destroy you!" For Gogeta in the games

He never, to my knowledge, says "Goku" in the manga (well, not after his introduction at any rate). I also don't think he says that in Kai but I'd have to check.

Yeah, he doesn't say that in Kai. Vegeta would never call Goku by anything other than his Saiyan name.

And now I'll have to rewatch DBZ Kai after I finish Dragon Ball.

Also, it turns out that they do still call them senzu beans in Kai.

Vegeta's like a Saiyan weeaboo that way.

A Saiyaboo.

Although he'd probably be one of those that insists of calling them Saiya-jins, so... Saiyajoo? Sounds kinda anti-semitic, though.

[up]Isn't "-jin" a japanese suffix, though ? I'd think Vegeta would use whatever Sayians had for grammar for speaking about his species, if only because he would deem using Earth terminology too degrading.

Yes and no. Depends on how you use it. In this case, yes.

Communication being subtle fluctuations in power level would actually be really interesting.

Shame Saiyans don't sense ki naturally.

As a side-note, Vegeta in Portuguese version (based off the French version) does call him "Songoku" all the time (until GT at least, that series was directly adapted from Japanese). Not sure why the French version decided to do it like that, maybe they didn't want Vegeta to sound petty, or maybe they just didn't like Kakarotto, who knows.

I mean, just powering up can make things explode sometimes. If the character does it fast enough, at least.

...How old was Vegeta when the Saiyans all died? Because I get the impression that he makes things up sometimes.

I think he was like thirteen. But at the same time, he was also royalty, so he probably had history lessons beaten into him in preparation for his rule.

Anyone else find it weird that really early on, they made it seem like Raditz was going to continue being a character, since he was running around in Hell and ruining everything, only to be immediately buried so hard that he became a form of currency?

[up][up] Prince Vegeta was born in Age 732 and Planet Vegeta was destroyed in Age 737. That means Vegeta was 5-years-old when stupid monkeys killed by falling rocks.

[up] For a minute, I was about to say "That only happened in the anime" before I realized that this is the thread for DBZA.

Nappa probably told him stuff. Not like they had much else to talk about.

Apparently Vegeta and Raditz were on a mission together in Dragon Ball Minus.

Even though the Bardock anime thing had Vegeta with Nappa at the time instead.

...Either way, I'm a bit confused how two of them found the third of their trio.

Literally everyone in Frieza's empire wears that armor though.

I mean, the monkey tail would have given it away, but aside from that, they could just be whatever the hell species Recoome is.

Although that's not actually Saiyan armor seeing as how all of Freeza's men wear it.... I suppose Saiyans could have developed it and then Freeza stole it for his goons but that seems unlikely.

@Jonnas N : Considering that in French, "Kakarott" sounds disturbingly like "Poop Belch", I think the second reason is the correct one...

Oh yeah, with it being convention season, there probably won't be another new episode for a decent minute.

All three of them work for Frieza, and he would keep track of the surviving Saiyans. I mean, what's the point of a genocide if you're going to half-ass it? What's less clear is how they knew about Goku.
