I hope there's photos of Gohan and Videl's wedding that show Piccolo being the weird weepy father and being in more photos than Goku because Goku didn't even go.

Goku would go because there would probably be lots of food.

This is how it's explained, somehow right

Did Future Vegeta even make it to SSJ? I don't remember Trunks ever saying one way or the other.

I think the short little flashback montage thing that happened when Trunks was telling Goku about what happened Vegeta had gone SSJ in that. Presumably he achieved it the same way, but with only Goku to torment his dreams until he managed it.

The image of ghost goku haunting Vegeta until he achieves SSJ is hilarious.

I am just remembering older Goten from the end of the series and GT. The kid more or less gave up on fighting and turned into a normal teenager. Focusing on girls, cars/bikes and slacking off. Aka nothing like Goku.

Goten would probably have been the strongest Z fighter of them all if he'd had Gohan's upbringing.
Dude hung with Trunks despite being a year younger and only training with Chi-Chi as opposed to with Vegeta in the gravity rooms. And he was cute and his voice didn't grate.

The he grows up to be the Yamcha of the Son family. :(

He wasn't really in the series long enough to be a Yamcha was he? And he only lost to Trunks and to Buu when fused, that's a bit more dignified than losing to Saibamen.

He grew up to be more interested in being a ladies man, got his butt whooped by a little girl and forgotten entirely for GT basically (for what that's worth) and looked to have squandered that huge potential.

It's like if Yamcha was really successful in life, he'd be Goten, if Goten was a really unsuccessful Goku, he'd be Goten, so he's the Yamcha of the family, but not as bad as the real deal.

He got a girlfriend in GT at least. Also they more or less did forget him entirely for GT. He was supposed to come on the ship and adventure with them. But Pan sneaked on board and Trunks and Goku left with out him and did not bother to go back for him.

Added on he just lost complete interest in fighting.

Just been watching DBZ Kai's Buu arc and now I am wondering what would have happened had Van Zant not been an rear end in a top hat. Likely everything would have gone better then it did other then Vegeta and Goku still being dead.

Well his evil side would still have been inside of him so there would always be a chance of it getting out, but the heroes would have a lot more time to prepare.

Steven doesn't want me watching him sleep anymore.


One thing I've always wondered about Frieza's armor, are his those his actual shins and forearms or are they covered in armor, too? It certainly matches the rest of the armor, but then again the armor could easily be designed to look like him in the first place.



Like on this form, the "forearm guards" look like stretched out armor to me. But... Frieza is also stretching himself out, so if they are part of his body they could still look like that. And they don't really show his third transformation so we don't know if they fell off or burst or morphed or what, but in his final form he does still have shin & forearm guards, though they look different.

Yeah I realize Toriyama probably didn't put much thought into it and there's no real answer. Up until now I always figured "he's some kinda crazy transforming alien, he loving absorbed the armor and incorporated it into his body" and that made sense to me.

That's Frieza's body. His non-final forms have a bio-mechanical thing going on, probably inspired by Giger's Alien

it probably means nothing but in xenoverse it's classed as 'bioarmor' and the description says it's extruded from their bodies

I never got what was so special about it. Big Bang was a sort of expanding energy sphere, Final Flash was a two handed blast that took forever to charge...Final Shine was just "I'm throwing this blast one handed BUT IT HAS A NAME". It didn't seem to be anything special.
