I don't think canon even mentions the Kaio ken ever again after the one last bit in which Kai says that Goku has been using the Kaio-ken all the time during the fight with Freeza.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed 3 other posts say the same.

Anyway, there is so much potential for fun in the Cell saga. So much.

[up][up]If nothing else, the Great Saiyaman Saga has that one thug (Rock I think?) who looks exactly like Nappa, so they'll probably include that.

I really want to find that video of Cell off-screen beating up Gohan, and the guys calling Goku out on it, and Goku saying that's just what he's waiting for. The one that's cut from actual scenes.

So, new episode.

It was hilarious XD I love how they just skipped the filler arc by using Mr. Popo XD

They're probably going to have a field day with this:

I'd have a field day myself if I found my face stuffed into Videl's lovely crotch even as she's about to slam me with a frankensteiner. It'd be Worth It. >:3 Also, think of the kinky ways they'd have fun when they get married. :D

Also, if they do get to make the abridge on the Three Great Super Saiyans movie, I'd wager the Krilin Owned Count will probably hit an all-time high for most counts in a single episode/movie because in that one, Krilin gets owned around 5-6 times and one of those is when Chi-Chi punts him to force him to follow Gohan. XDDDD

Did Master Roshi get a new voice actor?

The Kaio-What gag is dead. At this point in the series, Goku no longer does the Kaio-Ken since Super Saiyan took over and made it obsolete.

Yeap. So did Yamcha and Chi-Chi.

I didn't think Roshi was voiced by Vegeta though (and I know Chi-Chi wasn't) so I don't get why they got voice changes.

Roshi was voiced by Masako in Seasons 1-2, and by Lanipator now apparently.

Wow, a new record for TFS.

Usually they manage to fit 2 or 3 DBZ episodes into 1 DBA episode. This one was 9 DBZ episodes in 1 DBA episode.

I'm curious about something: Has it always been a fan joke that Popo was the strongest person in the whole series or was that canon? I ask because I've heard it for years, though only now at this minute am I questioning it.

Nowhere near it. He's got a battle power of 1,039 in the Saiyan Arc, which is weaker than a Saibaiman. Even Yamcha is stronger than those guys.

Although, it's not actually made clear whether this number if before or after the 1 year training gap. If it's before, then it is actually impressive (but raises some Fridge Logic). If after, it fits the story better while not being so special.

The weird thing is, Popo was able to fight on somewhat even terms with Super Saiyan Goten and Trunks at the same time in the Buu saga. So yeah.

That puts him stronger than Frieza.

[up] I'm pretty sure that it's mentioned somewhere you have to have a base power level of 300,000 or so to even reach Super Saiyan. Which is still more powerful than Frieza's first form. Which was still capable of destroying planets.

I agree that Goten and Trunks probably aren't as powerful as Goku or Frieza were in the final fight, but even with that in mind the two are still pretty damn high when compared to the average Human power level of 5, or even the Popo and Raditz level of 1000.

[up] Yes. Yes they are.

It's just funny that even Krillin, who at the end of the series is probably stronger than Vegeta was at the beginning of the series is still in the range to be able to destroy a planet. And that the power level for most adult humans is Five. And that every Saibaman was stronger than Raditz.

The power levels, bullshit though they may be are kinda funny when even the resident Butt-Monkey is eventually capable of blowing up the world, and when the hero's brother is the single weakest member of Freiza's Army. And when even the lameass kids from the end of the series are stronger than the first several dozen Big Bads.

Remember when Pilaf was even a partial threat? The only way they survived the first time was when Goku went Great Ape. Tien used to be strong enough to be Goku's rival. Hell, so did Krillin, and even Yamcha.

Does anyone else wish that there was a Team Four Star Abridged series of the original Dragon Ball? Is it just me?

EDIT: Heck, Broly's Power Level at birth was 10000. About 2000 times stronger than the average human adult. Ten times stronger than Raditz. A thousand points stronger than Nappa. Over 9000. Imagine newborn Broly ripping adult humans and Saiyans to pieces.
