Because 16 didn't have enough of a reason to kill Kakarrot. He needs to remember the reason he died.

Because he has enough of an ego to make video files of everything he does.

I like the touch, added a new dimension to a more one note villain who really should have more considering how much trouble he caused.

He keeps that video so he can watch the last transmission of his son again and again.

I don't think it adds anything at all. So what if he had a son that he loved? We don't even see it from his perspective anyway.

[up] Why keep it in 16?

16 was deactivated the whole time, so it's not like he was going anywhere to begin with.

Who even says it's the only file. It's a computer transmission, he can make copies.

#21210: Nov 25th 2016 at 5:35:32 PM

Considering you need a computer to access it... just put it on the computer?

[up] That still leaves no reason for a copy to be put in there.

This is the same guy who made 13, 14, and 15; I don't think Abridged!Gero was ever meant to be sane to begin with.

That's more of an excuse for plot convenience.

I'm assuming, for the sake of the gag, Gero just uploaded everything pertaining to 16 into him, but never got around to deleting it since he deemed 16 a failure and just deactivated him.

My final thought on the detonator is that It's just another example of people claiming TFS improved something without having a proper handle on how the situation was presented in the first place.

I've already explained why and Saiga elaborsted even further.

Okay? I read those explanations and completely disagree so...? Trying to sell your opinion as "I understand this thing better than you do" is a really not cool thing to do.

There's a filler scene where Cell uses destructo disks on Goku and knows from Frieza's memories that Goku will try to have Cell chop himself in half.

Maybe Gero put the file there, so when he's working on 16, he can remind himself of the pain to motivate himself.

The point of the scene was world building. It was providing viewers with (mostly) canonical information they might not otherwise have. I thought it was a rather nice scene but changing it to where Goku killed him was wholly unnecessary.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

Anyone else find Dende unbearably unfunny and unpleasant in this episode?

Every time he showed up, I felt like the quality just fell. The only part with him that I laughed at was more because of Popo's reaction to his snark really.

I'm the opposite, he was my favorite part and I loved all his crap-talk.

His voice sounded different to me and he came off as incredibly creepy. He had a few good jokes at least, but Taka sounded out of practice doing his voice.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I like it as an explanation for why 16 is the most KILL SON GOKU out of all Gero's creations. Also the love of birds.
