The Kikoho thing doesn't have anything to do with power, though, or it would have done absolutely nothing. But certain Tenshinhan fans love to try and use that and prove that Tenshinhan is better than the Androids/Piccolo.
Tenshinhan is really cool and all, but there's no feckin way he can even keep up with the base Saiyans.
Actually, apart from Piccolo, that's pretty much true for the entire series. Just go back to the beginning and see how well the humans do in fights against the villains.

Don't some Bulma/Vegeta fans do the same ting where Yamcha is portrayed as an abusive jerk?
....I feel this topic is now just general discussion for Dragon Ball.
...Any word if the break TFS is on now will end sometime before winter?
Sometimes life just sucks. You have to learn to take the good with the bad. Why should you expect anything different in the mediums?I was talking about the start of Dragon Ball itself.
Goku is the only one to do anything against the Red Ribbon army, he defeats the 3 strongest of Baba Uranai's fighters himself, is the only one who can conceivably beat Tenshinhan at the 22nd Budokai, and the only one who can fight Piccolo Daimao/Junior. Hell, apart from Yajirobe he's the only one that can fight against Daimao's minions as well and Yajirobe was only able to kill a non-combat minion.

It's not as common, especially since it's unnecessary to do so with Bulma/Vegeta being canon. I have seen it, but the focus seems to be more about hating Yamcha than the pairing itself.

What mooks? Apart from the Saibaimen, that's all they kill.

@Saiga: I never said that he was better, I just said he was still slightly useful (albeit unsuccessful) up until that point. But still better than Yamcha.

I will peel your skin off and put you in a box full of hungry rats. All because I feel like it.If Season 1 was roughly ten episodes, and Season 2 is (counting all three parts of Episode 30 as one) twenty episodes, does this mean that season 3 (with or without filler Garlic Jr) will be forty, going by the doubling pattern here?
Actually, the Android-Cell Saga (in the original manga) was only just as long as the Namek-Ginyu-Frieza arc. Filler may have distorted the ratio in the anime.
Also, there's still Garlic Jr before that. I expect that to be a special like the movies, and not a bunch of episodes.
I think Maron will be a genius. :P

I can kinda see it now:
Garlic: The Black Water Mist will turn everyone on Earth into my sla....
Krillin: Hey wait a minute! Just who the hell is this guy?
Gohan: Krillin, don't you remember that he kidnapped me for my Dragon Ball, wished for immortality, and trapped himself in the Dead Zone? It was the first time Dad & Mr. Piccolo worked together! Don't you remember, you were there!
-Clips of Dead Zone Abridged-
Krillin: Gohan, I think you've been hanging around Maron a bit too long...
Maron's a clone of Bulma, even counting Toriyama's design where people look alike, they look like long lost sisters (hey another potential joke!)
