Firstborn posted:Someone made this huge reddit post analyzing scenes from the Bardock episode where all the Saiyan babby pods are shown and stuff, and kind of mathed out that there's something like 150,000 saiyans that escaped the destruction of the planet based on just how many pods are showing blasting off all the loving time. The Bardock special itself isn't canon, Toriyama just made Bardock's design canon retroactively and then replaced it with Minus, which explicitely says all Saiyans were being called back to the homeworld. Granted, Vegeta and his crew still avoided it because they were off on a mission somewhere or something, so that's not saying much.

It's just a fan theory, obviously. In it's entirety: Reddit posted:Throughout DBZ there is a running gag of Vegeta saying "I am the Prince of all Saiyans" despite us only seeing a handful in series and movies (Goku, Bardock, Borgos, Broly, Fasha, King Vegeta, Nappa, Paragus, Raditz, Tarble, Tora, Turles, Vegeta, Bulla, Gohan, Goten, Pan, Trunks). Along with the notion that the Saiyan race is pretty much extinct except for the main characters. But this is wrong and not plausible given what the Saiyans' role was under Frieza.

If the Saiyans were freely spacefaring and running off to do missions all the time there's no way there aren't hundreds of them still alive just chilling on other planets for funsies. Space is big.

Well yeah, all those Saiyans populating Tokitoki city had to come from somewhere.

I get that, I'm just pointing out when non canon sources(the Bardock special) that contradict canon(Minus) are used for theorizing.

Tangentially related: my favorite Xenoverse theory on where your Saiyans come from is that Freeza's Death Ball sent every one of them through time, not just Bardock.

I loving hate Gohan's Kai/Xenoverse voice. He sounded so much better in the older Funimation dub. Also, really surprised how many "young boy" voice actors are female.

Pretty sure that was Demigra's doing, with his post-death wormhole shenanigans. Though with all the Time Travel shenanigans going on, sure as hell can't discount other survivors being wormhole'd or something.

Tae posted:A question that I always had, and I don't know if this was a translation error or Toriyama forgetting. In the first tournament arc, Roshi is surprised that Goku can use the Kamehameha, learning it in a single day. Now is that a mistranslation, because he clearly saw Goku use it right after that event with the Ox King. A mistranslation most likely, unless he was pretending to be surprised as Jackie Chun.

Yeah, I always kind of figured there had to be quite a few Saiyans left. It was just that most of them are probably stuck alone on planets somewhere. Either literally, if they managed to wipe out their planets like they were supposed to, or just racially like Goku pre-Vegeta. It would be kind of an interesting thing to do with a post-Z series, actually. Have Vegeta decide he wants to really be Prince again and wish for all the surviving Saiyans to be brought to Earth (or wish for a New Planet Vegeta). It would kind of poo poo on his growth as coming to embrace Earth and humanity as his new people, but oh well.

I dunno, having Bulma end up being the Queen of all Saiyain's could be mined for some comedy. He doesn't have to forsake earth and humanity to want to unite his people again. Bring them all to earth and have him/Goku have a story about them teaching them that hey, don't always have to destroy poo poo.

There's a good chance that what Saiyans ARE left are not exactly strong warriors, like Tarble or Goku's mom. They just kinda accept their lot in life and don't bother anyone, taking on strange alien wives and husbands and just sorta chilling. Might explain why nobody bothers them, or why they're not bothering anyone important.

Didn't something like that happen in Dragonball Online, where all Humans have tiny traces of Saiyan blood in them and can wish for the Super Saiyan Transformation from Shenron?

The press release calls this the 19th feature film...I feel like I'm missing some. There were 13 movies prior to Battle of Gods, so Resurrection F would make 15? Even counting the two TV specials and that one Yo Son Goku and Friends thing (Which I don't think has ever been dubbed?), that only makes 18...
