Wasn't one of the wishes to bring their souls to Earth?

That was part of the same wish?

They had to do that with Krillin after Namek, but I don't think they did it with Yamcha. Or any other time.

They only had to do that with Krillin because you're revived wherever your body is at the time. If you're body was destroyed, you're just revived wherever you died. Krillin died on Namek and was no Namek any more. Parunga was actually kind enough to point this out before they wasted their wish.

Both Porunga and Shenron are really nice guys about constantly granting wishes for a bunch of assholes, aren't they? Making sure the wishers know about the risks when they're about to wish for something stupid and all.

Shenron even gives out free ice cream in Super.

Everyone's reaction to 16 when Cell first met the Androids.

"ROCKET FIST!"
"Hu, really?"
"That is SO COOL."

"Was that sarcasm?"
"I am not programmed for sarcasm."
"I'm proud of you."

"What're you, made of metal?"
"Yes. I am Android 16."
"Oh. Errors have been made."

"Wait a minute, I see a light."
"WALK TOWARDS IT!"

Other than that last one, 16 wasn't the funny one, it was everyone else in response to him. He was a great catalyst for funny.

I violently hate it. It gave false hope to Tien's fans the Tien would be a powerful and awesome combatant after Namek. I suspect it singlehandedly spawned the Krillin v. Tien argument because the only reason anyone thinks Tien kept up during the Namek arc is that he defeated Jeice and Burter simultaneously.

You're coming off as Tsundere for Tien-fans Tobias.

She is shown gathering the corpses and putting them into caskets in the anime, I believe, right after Goku fights Vegeta.

Then it is not a mistake. By that point they didn't know yet Kami would send them all to Kaioh.

They only had to do that with Krillin because you're revived wherever your body is at the time. If you're body was destroyed, you're just revived wherever you die.

Actually, for most part they were under the impression you needed a body to be able to revive. That is why the made a point of preserving the bodies in Piccolo and Sayan sagas. Then Porunga remade Kuririn's body and clothes as a gift and this was never brought up again. A small retcon, though not a plot hole, as no one was never denied resurrection for lack of corpse.

I will say though, Bojack is probably one of the best examples of the series giving a finger to the "Goku is a bad father" meme. Goku breaks the rules or Life and Death to prevent Bojack from killing Gohan.

[up][up]One thing doesn't have anything to do with the other. You can still be a bad father and love your children.

The fandom may exaggerate a bit, but the meme didn't appear out of thin air. Piccolo explicitly called Goku out on that. He wasn't entirely right, but he had a point, Goku fundamentally misunderstood his son. And aside that, Goku is kind of an awful family man in general. He repeatedly put training above being with his family, sometimes without explanation.

You know what I just realized? They haven't listed Dead Zone yet.

I wonder if that's going to be the "underrated" one they said they were going to do today...

I guess my issue with Piccolo calling out Goku on that is that Piccolo himself did the same exact thing during the Saiyan arc.

Yeah, but Piccolo hadn't known Gohan as much back than.

#16424: Dec 11th 2015 at 7:19:15 AM

[up][up]Yes, Demon King Piccolo was an asshole to the son of his arch enemy. Piccolo was fully aware he was being an asshole. He was evil, it was on purpose. Until he sacrificed himself, he was basically in denial about liking Gohan.

Also, he didn't do the same thing, actually. He never sent Gohan alone to fight an enemy. And he definitively never healed said enemy before the fight.

Goku didn't put training above his family.

I mean, he died, but. Hell, Piccolo killed him that first time.

And there was that one time where he got a new super power that turned him into a raging out-of-control berserker and he decided he wanted to be able to control that so he wouldn't put his family at risk, but.

Like, there's like four years Goku spent with Gohan and Chichi.

Three years between him getting back to Earth and the Androids showing up.

...Like, I know he's hanging with Beerus and Whis, but he's not staying away from his family forever. He comes back.

...And, yeah, GT says that he never came home to visit while training Uub, but fuck GT.

In Nekomajin Goku seemingly spent time with his family while training Uub, and Nekomajin is a better sequel than GT was.

...Like, as many problems as I have with Dragon Ball Super right now, and I do, it's not as bad as GT yet.

Like, it has done at least two interesting things I liked so far.

And, whatever problems DBS has with female characters, it hasn't done whatever the fuck this shit is.

...Seriously, she was 9. What the actual hell Toei.

I just. Ugh.

Fuck GT.
