Seriously Kaizo Ningen is the term used for the Androids and for Kamen Rider from the Showa Era. It basically just means Altered Human.

Kamen Riders appear entirely normal but are instead mostly artificial except for their brains and nervous system. The same thing could be true for the Androids.

Doctor Gero just included an entirely functional womb in 18 for whatever loving reason.
He was playing the long game! Marron is the reincarnation of Dr. Gero!!

I SERIOUSLY want to know what his long term plans for loving Gero and Clown Bot were.


Like was Gero going to get a new form, or was it going to be super young punk Gohan VS Aged Elder Gero

He told very few people in advance that he was finishing DragonBall at the end of the Buu saga, so I don't really think long term plans is a concept that Toriyama is aware of.

Zen-chans both demand that Monaka wish upon the Super Dragon Balls to be the strongest fighter in all existence. He does not impart pain resistance. Or anonymity. Nor any promise that he cannot be eventually overcome by an eager enough rival.

And ye, is he cast into a Hell worse than any erasure could be

I don't think it's entirely that, so much as there isn't much else they can do with him - they can only keep Goku for figuring him out for so long and they can't really have him interact with anyone else, least of all Zeno.

In a way, I kind of wish we got this. The whole "revenge for the Red Ribbons" thing really got swept under the rug after Gero died. And by the time Cell showed up, the entire plot point was basically forgotten.

Way more people in this thread need to watch OG Dragon ball.

Imperfect Cell and Perfect Cell are great, semi-perfect Cell sucks.

I'm pretty sure Goku's oldest moves are "rock, paper scissors" and "extend my rod" and I'm pretty sure he's asexual.

I guess you can only use the gag so much, and he wouldn't have been able to do anything in this tournament. But I liked Monaka a lot and hope we catch up with him again.

Even if it's just Goku saying "Why didn't we get Monaka for the tournament?" and Beerus has to cover with some bullshit like "Oh yeah he once beat the Grand Priest in a fight so he's banned for life from being around other GoDs and Angels."

There's a scene where Goku looks at one of Roshi's porno mags and his reaction is "Aw, how sad. Those girls must be too poor to afford clothes."

Also Goku's apparently a nudist. Guy has no problem running around or even fighting naked, and is confused when everyone else starts freaking out about it.

Wonder why they never revisted that particular character trait in Z or Super.

I think it's a little from column a a little from columns b. It doesn't bode well that he's been ghosted since Copy Vegeta, not even appearing in the interminable post-Future Trunks filler. Add that together with the fact that Monaka's only merchandise appearances have been in the d-tier mobile trading card game, an outfit in Fusions, and a two second cameo as a silent head box in Xenoverse 2 and it's not a good look for how that character was received.

I'm not saying he's never going to show up again because this is Dragon Ball and gently caress you, but it definitely feels like he didn't catch on the way they wanted a character they put in the opening to.

The ever-compressing time scale in DBZ/Super is pretty funny to me.

Saiyan Saga: 1 year
Namek/Frieza Saga: like a month and a half or something
Android/Cell Saga: Trunks appears, then there's like a 6 month time skip or something where everybody trains and Goku doesn't take his loving medicine. All androids and Cell are dealt with over like 2 weeks, if I'm not totally misremembering.
Buu Saga: Technically kind of long because of Gohan Goes To School arc, but the time between Babidi fucks up the tournament and Goku defeats Buu is like, what, not more than a week probably?
Battle of Gods: Beerus arrives and Goku achieves apotheosis the same day
Resurrection F: Frieza and everybody else train for 4 months, but there's like an hour total of Frieza being on/around Earth, split between 2 visits.

etc

Namek was about a week. Just long enough for Goku to hop on a spaceship and get after them.

Cell saga had a three year time skip after Trunks first arrived. But otherwise correct.
