It's interesting that the power level obsession is garbage.

But Kaioken multipliers are amazing.

I just wish she could belt it like she did with them during the Saiyan Saga, though she was still making math fun with the ju bai da on Hit

No idea how she still keeps up as well as she does

If Vegeta looked more like Yamcha (without changing his personality at all), would that make Bulma more or less likely to dump Yamcha for him

Yamcha is maximum chance to get dumped by Bulma at all times, so external factors don't really influence it.

Was Vegeta stuck on Jiren's energy beam this week an homage to the time he almost got blasted into orbit after the beam struggle in the Saiyan Saga? Kinda seemed like it. Or maybe getting hit with the spirit bomb a couple episodes later.

Vegeta’s best man is clearly trunks. Not the baby, the future one. Not that future one the other future one.

Vegeta's best man is Goku because Bulma browbeats him into doing it and he knows it's true anyway.

As previously established the Maid of Honor is Yamcha.

You just know Bulma called up 18 just to keep her future husband in check.

I'd say "you probably shouldn't invite someone to your wedding who maimed your husband to be" and then I recalled that basically disqualifies almost everyone Bulma knows (except Yamcha). Even Krillin blew a hole through his chest.

For the record, I did mention early on that Z was pretty lovely in the consistency front as well.

- Vegeta at 18,000 was apparently strong enough to destroy Earth
- Vegeta barely getting a power boost after his battle with Goku, but matching first form Freeza after fighting Recoome
- Piccolo's weeklong training + fusion with Nail leading him to match second form Freeza
- Krillin somehow managing to outrun second form Freeza for any length of time
- A scientist from Earth creating some stupid looking robots stronger than Freeza
- Piccolo Merging with Kami making him stronger than said stupid looking robots
- Tien being able to hold back Cell for any length of time
- King Kai admitted he wasn't as strong as Nappa, yet, the next higher order deity just happens to be (in his own words) "a thousand times stronger than Freeza"


Yes, I totally agree all these things are incredibly stupid, and things that made me raise an eyebrow, even as a dumb teenager. But while it's true that DBZ is honestly a terribly written series, my point is that there seemed to be some rules that were established.

People want to brush off the series dumber plot points by saying it's a gag series, but it's not really. It's an action/adventure series that just happens to have a lot of gags. But it's not like say something like One Punch Man, where it's so obvious that nothing should be taken seriously when you have a guy being able to jump to the moon by literally doing a bunch of pushups.

Punching him in the eye was funnier IMO because it was deliberate and the reaction shot on Vegeta has him with this great "I can't believe that just loving happened to me" expresison

GAMERDOME put down LOSER
The first proper antagonistic force in Dragon Ball was formed because the leader wanted to wish himself taller.

Frieza's strongest henchmen are a Super Sentai parody because Toriyama saw his kids watching it and figured they'd get a kick out of it.

Buu's name is taken off a magic spell from a Disney movie.

Is amusing that (arguably) the strongest writing on the entire franchise is found on the original DB that was a gag series for the most part.
