Sorry to interrupt the shit-posting, but the reason the Cell Saga can be seen as Darker and Edgier is because, in the manga, aside from Mr. Satan, there are no jokes. Whatsoever. None, at all. Mr. Satan is only funny for like 2 chapters, which are seperated by the History Of Trunks chapter. The gore and violence is about the same as the sagas before and after it, but the Saiyan Arc had Kaio and shenanigans in the afterlife, the Freeza Saga has the Ginyu Force, and the Buu Saga has Gotenks, Gohan in school and a superhero, and the Elder Kaioshin. Aside from Mr. Satan, the Cell Saga has no comedy in it at all.

I dunno. Vegeta getting his arms broken by Lazuli is pretty funny.

Ah, that explains it...good thing that's just in the manga. Something like that would've been a literal slog to sit through for child randomness.

Cell is to the post-Raditz stuff what Piccolo Daimao was to the pre-Raditz stuff, basically.

So I was watching (well, listen to) TFS's latest Xenoverse stream and it turns out that the reason Earth's dragon doesn't grant three wishes in DBZA is because Earth's dragon never granted three wishes.

I guess this panel from the official English translation of the manga that has Dende talking about three wishes from Shenron is wrong.

I think they probably mean that since multi-revives take up two wishes, and those are pretty much all they use, it was simpler to just have the dragon only give out two wishes in the first place.

To be honest the anime made it seem like it was lose mass revive or get only two. At least the last time I watched Z which has been a while seemed that way.

Kaiser's words were, and I quote, "Earth's Dragon never granted three wishes."

Has there actually been a time where it technically granted three wishes?

Didn't he grant three in the Resurrection F Saga of Super, since the Pilaf Gang got both money and ice cream from Shenron after Frieza was revived?

Not that we see but that doesn't matter. If they're going to pull facts from the guidebook into the series, the least they can do is get facts the damn manga right.

Also, Kaiser confirmed that they actually changed the script a bit in the latest episode in response to all the rape accusations from the previous episode. He then goes on to talk about how he's against rape jokes because they're lazy and rely solely on shock factor and all I can think about is the joke of Vegeta raping Bulma back on Namek and the joke of Vegeta being surprised Zarbon didn't rape him and the joke of Mr. Popo raping Krillin and the joke of Vegeta being a prison bitch (which is rape).

Earth's Dragon Balls might have gotten 3 wishes after Dende remade them a 2nd time. They definitely didn't have a 3rd one during the Cell saga.

Dende never remade them a second time. They had three during the Cell Saga, it's just that two get used up in mass revivals.

[up][up][up] Considering the latest those type of jokes showed up was like...barely halfway into the Namek stuff, it could just be that Kaiser's view on those type of jokes changed.
