I'm referring to when Goku repeated that spiel Piccolo went on about needing to charge his weapon for five minutes and Piccolo asked "Did you just hold a grudge?"

I'm just making a joke at the second part still not being up and Kaiser choosing not to say anything.

So if Kaiser died, would Lani tell us, or pretend everything was fine, and we'd have a weekend at bernie's style situation?

Nah, Lani wouldn't say anything because that would be the moment he was waiting for to take over the channel entirely and establish his Empire.

Not much of an empire without an editor/director for the main, most successful project that they're best known for.

Like, seriously, it might not profit them directly, but if it ended unceremoniously like that how many people would unsubscribe from their gaming channel and the patreon?

I only watch their dumb gaming vids because I want them to be able to feed themselves.

If they had stockholders Kaiser's death would destroy the value of their shares.

I kinda doubt Kaiser's dead since he's been active on Twitter as recently as several hours ago.

Not only did the anime pad out the scene where Cell self destructs, it also makes Goku's teleportation much faster which leads to contradictions when Toei portrays a canon scene that uses Goku's inability to teleport that fast as a plot point.

Goku's own teleportation is delayed enough that Kibitoshin can teleport in, grab them, and teleport out while Goku didn't have enough time to teleport once (admittedly, part of that was because God and Satan made him hesitate).

Wasn't one of Tien's major achievements when he was introduced learning a move after seeing it once coz he has three eyes so that somehow lets him learn things he sees better.

Nope, that was fanon. Tenshinhan comments that he's able to replicate the Kamehameha instantly because it's such a basic technique. It was never linked to his third eye or some special ability that allowed him to copy techniques, but fanon has misattributed this ability to him - either to give him some sort of special quality (as fans of weaker characters are wont to do) or because they have a habit of over-complicating the "magic" system by coming up with "Magic A" Is "Magic A" implications and esoteric qualities that weren't there originally.

He has three eyes. That means he can see faster.

More, maybe. Better depth perception. Slightly.

I think there would be diminishing returns.

Him being able to see through the Afterimage Technique is attributed to his three eyes, though, so they're good for something.

His third eye is actually defensive mimicry. It's actually a pair of wings.

I think there was a point where you could have made the argument that DBZ Abridged Goku has a level of hyperawareness that he is in an abridged series, and that his actions came of as reasonable given that level of understanding. (To give an example: asking for the muffin button in a spaceship seems stupid and illogical, but the muffin button actually worked and Goku is clearly better off for using it.)

That was really just Achievements in Ignorance.

I do like the headcanon that the reason there was, in fact, a Muffin Button on Goku's spaceship is because the ship has a food synthesizer. "Muffin Button" is just Goku's oversimplification of the concept.

It also explains the Muffin Button on Frieza's ship. Why it synthesizes the muffin onto the control console is beyond me, however. Look at your keyboard. Imagine a muffin suddenly appearing on it. Depending on the state of your keyboard, not only would it probably necessitate some cleaning, but I might not be inclined to eat that muffin either.

No, see, people with two eyes can see in three dimensions, but people with only one eye, such as pirates, only see in two dimensions, yeah?

Therefore, we can assume the formula for visible dimensions is x+1, where x is the number of eyes you have.

Therefore, Tien can see in 4D, and as such is able to analyze the Kamehameha and afterimages from angles we cannot concieve of.

4 Dimension? So Tien can see through time?
