Considering that they established in the Saiyan Saga that aliens were a new thing on Earth (as far as they knew, anyways) you'd think Vegeta and the Briefs could use that to make some serious cash. Especially considering that they used Saiyan tech to build a ship capable of travelling across the Galaxy in a few days. It always bugged me that they had this tech and didn't use it to, you know, advance humanity in any way.

"I don't care if you're the king of the beach! You're not qualified to work here!!" Now I really wished there was an episode where Vegeta applied for an office job somewhere.

I'd watch an episode about Vegeta trying to find quarters in the sofa in order to buy a soda at the 711. Even moreso if he has Trunks help him in exchange for going to the park.

Vegeta's slow transition of noble warrior of a proud, dying race to househusband uncomfortable with his perceived emasculation is probably the best part of the entire franchise.

Etc. quote:No coronation ceremony, no Saiyan aristocratic institutions left to have a coronation ceremony. New episode idea, Vegeta attempts to corral Goku, Gohan, Trunks and Goten into throwing him a coronation ceremony.

He briefly considered calling himself "The Saiyan Formerly Known as Prince" but Nappa convinced him it was just way too tacky.

Mr. Maltose posted:No coronation ceremony, no Saiyan aristocratic institutions left to have a coronation ceremony. Nor Kingdom/Planet. Amazingly he never thought to use the Dragonballs to restore Planet Vegeta. Also he probably lost his right to the throne after he set up with a weak earthling commoner, that must not set well with the proud Saiyan Master Race policy.

No one used the Dragon Balls to restore the Saiyans because all Saiyans are assholes.

Twiddy posted:One thing that kind of always surprised me is that he continued calling himself the Prince of all Saiyans. I mean, there were only 8/2.5/4/? Saiyans alive for much of the series, and none of them were the king. Why didn't he assume the dust particles of the throne floating in space and become the King of all Saiyans? Did he want to kill Freeza first? After that, did he have to prove he was better than Goku? It's Disney Law. Kings and Queens are evil and Princes and Princesses are good...no wait hang on... Actually, if King Cold was a King why wasn't Frieza "Prince Frieza"?

Well, he was Lord Freeza, presumably he had a lesser title. Perhaps the rules of succession aren't genealogical among whatever those dudes where. The Something Awful Forums > The Finer Arts > ADTRW > Dragonball Z: Monarchic Constructs of Space Monkeys

BlitzBlast posted:There's a time limit on resurrections I thought. Originally yeah... In Dragonball there was a plot point that they have to freeze the bodies so that they don't deteriorate. And in Z after the saiyan saga it was pointed out that Chaosu exploded and could not be resurrected. That all changed after Namek.

Speaking of the dragonballs, Shenron is one of the best characters in DBZA. Shame he barely shows up in the proper show. He's just so loving pissed it's always Goku or his buddies.
