The best way to beat Broly at this point is to introduce him to a strong independent rich woman for him to marry. It's kinda the way Saiyans roll. Also looking forward to another Sunday BBQ at Bulma's with the Grillmaster Piccolo keeping the squad happy with his divine cuisine. Crabtree posted:Goten I understand as its a way to easily market a Kid Goku without deaging Goku or this taking place in the past - even though he is no where as engaging or personable as a real Goku. Uub and Pan growing up together would be great. Even better if Uub turns out to be 17's adopted kid. snickothemule fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Aug 9, 2018 |

Bardock found one of the only members of his species capable of feeling any sort of affection, he won his own kind of jackpot.

The stronger the Saiyan, the more rich the woman has to be at the time of their engagement. So you gotta have someone richer than Bulma at this point to trick the Saiyan's shared fetish at this rate. Or Broly's really weird and he goes for green girl because she's poor and Vegeta just flips out.

It makes sense that sayians would be genetically predisposed to rich woman. It means they can mooch off their wives while they train all day.

the Nappa and Vegeta on bug planet episode is kind of a dud. It doesn't help establish them as powerful because the bug people are weak. Most of them can't even do energy blasts, of course the bad guys can beat them easily. And Nappa defeating the giant bug monster is undercut by Gohan clowning on an equally large t-Rex monster that same episode. I guess this is the filler you guys warned me about. But it did have Lunch murdering some cops and Gohan slowly eating a T-rex while it's still alive, so it wasn't a complete wash.

Calaveron posted:It's more to show that they're massive loving assholes who will completely obliterate a planet out of boredom though It also kind of fucks with the power levels though. Vegeta casually fires a finger beam that blows up a planet, while on earth he takes a large amount of time charging up his galick gun to destroy the earth. I mean its dragon ball, this poo poo's never consistent, but it is annoying.

Vegeta casually fires a finger beam that blows up a planet, while on earth he takes a large amount of time charging up his galick gun to destroy the earth. Maybe arlia was smaller than earth? Or maybe due to vaguarities of Ki blasts, you need to use a bigger beam when you are closer to the surface. The most obvious reason is that there is a Goku in the way. Vegeta didn't shoot at the planet, he shot at Goku. The fact that it would vaporize the planet even if it didn't kill him was insurance.

I think Vegeta was bluffing, and couldn't really have blown up the Earth with that Galick Gun. He probably believed he could though.

I guess he could have caused a meteor impact-level event and that still would have been pretty bad. Makes more sense if Frieza was the first enemy to be able to actually blow up a planet entirely given that was kind of his thing.

Yeah Vegeta blowing up a planet with a finger can't even really be explained in universe which is why a bunch of us said to avoid original dbz cuz of weird filler inconsistencies like that

Manatee Cannon posted:if master roshi could blow up the moon in the very first tournament no problem, vegeta could absolutely have blown up the earth I'm of the opinion that it basically works like this Roshi, at MAX power, was strong enough to blow up the moon- but he was also probably stronger than Raditz. Or at least AS strong. Roshi at Max, back in the day, couldn't fight- he was pretty much just good for one Kamehameha and that's it. His body couldn't keep up with his own power. Later on he fixed that but that was as of Super Vegeta could destroy a planet, or at least wreck it super hard, but it'd take all of his strength to do so with significant charge up time. We see this explicitly with how he tried to blow up the Earth. Freeza would be the first enemy that could casually blow up a planet, if given the right shot. He screwed up with Namek but it still didn't take him a fraction of the effort that it did for Vegets to try.

Those were insect creatures though, maybe they'd burrowed in and hollowed out the planet like giant ants, so it was porous and easier to break.

Or Vegeta was perfectly capable of destroying the Earth but he was just throwing a tantrum and decided to do the whole circus just to spite Goku.

It's important to remember that Freeza failed to destroy Namek because he got too scared about getting caught up in the explosion. He could've totally done it, and in less than five endless minutes at that, if he wasn't a little bitch. Since Freeza has character development, he fixed that one by Resurrection "F". And indeed, ended up killing himself alongside the planet, so his fears were pretty logical after all.

I was about to counter and be like that joke already been done. But then you mentioned the tingle. So that caught a chuckle. I guess Tori didn’t forget about her

Blowing up the planet is the smartest thing frieza ever did. Really frieza was a dope for not just going towards earth, firing a death ball at it and then leaving.

It's telling the only two things he hits with his Kamehameha before Super is a mountain and the Moon. He'd be toast against anyone who can dodge or counterattack.

So if Saiyans are genetically predisposed to rich girls, does that mean the Saiyan Race was technically married to Frieza instead of working for him?
