It's just you. I had my volume set to 20 as always and it was fine.

Check the volume setting on the video player. Barring that, check the volume setting of your web browser via your computer's sound mixer.

Moose-toshes.

See, that thing about the hair is actually canonical, but one thing I never actually thought of before: was Nappa born bald? was he literally bald this way?

Also, it seems Piccolo offscreen used the Clothes Beam to fix the hole in his clothes. It bugged me at the beginning of the scene that it was still there, but it also bugs me that it was fixed without mention.

[up]I don't see anything wrong with Nappa being born bald. It's Raditz who bothers me, I imagine he looked like Captain Caveman when he was born.

He had two after-births: his hair and the normal one.

Guys, I have terrible news.

The most recent episode of Super...

It confirmed Whis is the true fastest in the universe and not Burter. sad

Whis only thinks that because Burter is holding back.

We already knew Frieza and Captain Ginyu were faster than Burter.

Hell, even Guldo is technically faster than Burter since he can stop time.

Nappa can totally have had hair.

But if he ever shaved it, he's bald for life, since no new hair will grow.

With 4 months of intense training, Burter could run laps around Whis.

I mean, don't they grow hair when they turn great ape? And Super Saiyan 3?

Those are special abilities that aren't permanent. It's like Kaio-ken for their hair.

It was encoded in their genes because of Nappa.

Long, long ago, the God of Planet Vegeta looked to the future and realized that Saiyans needed an exception to the rule of not growing hair applied to the Oozaru, specifically to prevent Giant Naked Nappa from ever being a thing.

I never got the fastest in the universe thing. Ginyu was clearly supposed to be faster than Burter and Frieza goes without saying. Was it just because third fastest didn't sound as good?

He might have been faster than Captain Ginyu. Battle power is a sum total of a variety of attributes; if Burter was faster than the Captain but woefully lacking in the departments of strength, endurance, ki generation, etc. he would still have a much lower battle power, and being able to land a thousand harmless butterfly taps on the Captain would still leave him sorely outranked.

And we didn't really get to see the Captain fight much before he self-injured and Body Changed.

Also, they might be excluding Frieza just on the grounds that it's unfair to include him. Frieza overshadows the second most powerful guy in the universe by 1,000x. Statistically, he's the kind of outlier that totally wrecks the averages and is thus discounted.

King Cold and Cooler still existed...

Maybe Burter's just really bad at sex?

Cooler's movie-exclusive, so no, he didn't. tongue

We never really get any measure of how powerful King Cold's supposed to be. <.< He only ever gets one fight and it's a total curbstomp, but it's a total curbstomp from the Super Saiyan that just killed Frieza, so there's not really anything to measure by.

Literally the only thing we know about King Cold's power is "Not as strong as Frieza," and that narrows it down to the entire universe that isn't Frieza.

Maybe Burter never saw Freeza or any of those other guys fight and Ginyu allowed him to have the 'fastest-in-the-universe' thing to make him feel more special?

...Which reminds me. What thing does Jeice have that sets him apart from the rest?

Apparently, that was supposed to be his Crusher Ball. Why it made him special is anyone's guess.

He was apparently second-in-command of the Ginyu Force though so there is that.
