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.
For the record it's been about 4 years since Buu, Buu takes place in Age 774, and BoG took place in Age 778

Pretty sure Super retconned that to Beerus showing up just after the Buu saga.

Every Krillin moment in this episode was wonderful. And every Vegeta moment was absolutely hilarious. I love Vegeta when he's forced into the comedy role. And the bird that constantly imitated him was great too, I hope it gets to teach a dinosaur how to ride a ball someday.

Also goddamn Vegeta, that was pretty smooth. He could've just accepted the offer of being a God of Destruction, but instead managed to perfectly find the way to get what he wanted without needing to become that. When you consider how Vegeta would've gladly taken that offer in a second before, it seriously shows just how much he's grown.

So, they're definitely trying to make Krillin's return to fighting a thing, which seemed like might be the case back when Beerus showed up. I wonder if they'll actually come up with some kind of strength boost to go with it, or if they'll stick with the movie's version.

Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans, would never submit to someone else's will for any longer than it benefits himself.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
There only have so many senzu beans to go around every harvest season. No sense wasting them in a non-life-or-death situation.

Have Krillin train under Whis too, become a Super Human God Super Human. Or Super Human Blue, but since he shaved his head once again, there's no actual differences. You just have to believe he is.

Get this: most of the beings in the galaxy are bad at ki control. The namekians seem to be the only ones really talented at that, to the point where they can do amazing things like wrap a beam of energy around another beam of energy to create a ki drill far more powerful than a normal blast.

Humans (having been trained by Kami to an extent) seem to specialize in coming up with creative ways to control and use ki to make blasts way more powerful than they should be able to: yamcha's ki control, kienzan, kamehameha.

It seems like most saiyans are not so good at ki which is why goku rarely goes for the dakka beamspam and uses martial arts until he needs a kamehameha. Vegeta, being a super elite, is probably the best saiyan possibly ever at ki control.



Crane school techniques like the tri beam use life force instead of ki so they're not traditional energy blasts. Maybe they count as the same thing the spirit bomb is so that's why it hurt buu and cell so much

I've been watching the Buu Saga, and there's this one filler when Bulma/Rushi/Yamcha are chasing some dragon that ate a dragon ball. Yamcha blasts the dragon, making it fall into the ocean, and then refuses to go after it because he is afraid to jump from such a large height.

The dude can fly, wtf.

Yeah, basically. Spamming Ki balls is usually only used as a last resource when everything else fails, especially in Vegeta's case.

When exactly was this supposed to have occurred, time-wise? I remember Gohan being a teen but not having access to his "Ultimate" form (not that most DBZ things remember that exists to begin with). I remember thinking "gently caress yeah, gonna be cool seeing Brolly surprised at how much stronger Gohan is now" but then he just owned Gohan anyways.

Just after the World Tournament. It aired originally in Japan right before Goku fought Pui Pui.

So after rewatching today's episode and the preview of next week's ep I'm wondering if next week's ep is Gohan following around Goku in the suspicion that he's having an affair with Bulma

Also that magnificent goddamn baby bird needs to be a recurring character. More of Vegeta's chickenbaby.

Isn't there actually some wacko conspiracy theory about Goku having an affair with Bulma or something in DBZ?

I vaguely remember hearing rumors about that, but not much more.

I imagine there's a bunch of people that remember Goku being champ, but they all got scared off from the tournament scene by Piccolo wrecking everything that one year, or they got bored of it after the crane and turtle guys stopped showing up. Then a new audience developed around Mr. Satan's showboating.
There are probably forums on the capsulenet dedicated to complaining about how the old days of martial arts were gritty and real, and now it's all staged.
