He really delivered on the concept of fusion and exceeded anyone's imagining of how badass it would be if Goku and Vegeta shared a body. I remember being all "goddammit all fusion really does is make you a cocky prick." Right before Buu lost a fight to a loving malted milk ball.

That's really the best part about Vegetto, since we only got a smidge of Gogeta, in that underneath all that boasting and loving around he's actually formulating an amazing plan. Really, it's all the crazy finesse stuff that Vegetto knows how to do that makes him so cool. Buu shoves himself down your throat? No biggie, I can use my ki to isolate the problem and damage him. Turned into candy? Can still kick your rear end. Buu made up of a crazy assortment of entities and powers? Vegetto will figure out a way to bust them out.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Yeah, in Vegetto's case, he clearly had a plan and didn't want to just kill Buu, because the fact was he could have ended Buu as fast as Gogeta ended Janemba. But he wanted to save his children and Piccolo and I guess not have to revive them with the Dragon Balls. No one wants to kill their sons after all. Even ending an evil like Buu

The third DLC for Xenoverse is adding Piss-stained Frieza, Jaco and Gohan's tracksuit from the new film as DLC, and I believe it also adds the full visor scouter that Tagoma wears.

Kind of out there but why does Dragon ball: Path to Power even exist? I guess they made it as some anniversary special but it changed so much around for no reason. Did people (In Japan) generally hate it?

It is also worth noting that he might not know whether or not the dragonballs could properly revive them as they would have been 'part' of Buu when they died.

In watching the World Martial Arts Tournament (both the 21st and 22nd) episodes of Dragon Ball, they need a referee who isn't the announcer since he gets so distracted by the fights and making commentary, he seems to keep forgetting to start the countdown to 10 or does something else the screw up the count.

If Gohan hasn't been training how is he still ripped to poo poo?

Also, Gotenks exploded Buu, him and Piccolo burned all of the remnants and Buu still reformed. So even if they didn't manage to kill him, they learned more about how he works and what's not gonna fly when trying to destroy him. So everyone better stop calling Gotenks useless now or risk looking the FOOL.

Yeah, considering what they did to try to "check for a pulse", Gotenks should really have won.

Gohan probably trains/works out. But he isn't out there training in 300x earth gravity every single day like Vegeta probably does.

That chart is making me think Hercule was supposed to be Chappa from the tournaments were Goku was participating, but Toriyama forgot he existed and invented a new character to fill his role.

Satan is a much more memorable name though, so I'm not gonna call him out on it.
