I won this avatar on a technicality this thick.
I was watching Super 13 abridged again and during that part where Computer Gero said that Cell was plan B and Androids #13, #14, and #15 were plan C, I thought of something: weren't #19 and Gero plan A with #17 and #18 plan B? (I definitely didn't think of this because I thought it would be amusing if Cell was plan C)

From what I remember, Gero didn't actually know about Cell, it was something his computers made.

Its probably mostly lies she tells so Goku can become a productive member of society and live with them instead of loving off to space for training at months at a time and visiting whenever he feels like eating her food.

It's probably this more likely. Chi-Chi doesn't really care about money so much as the image of having a traditional bring-home-the-bacon man as a husband. Similar reasons why she pushed Gohan to be a scholar so much.

Yeah how can people :spergin: so much over dragonball z ffs? After we're done talking about Goku's supposed failed marriage and the mechanics of how the Son family provides for itself, let's talk about the ethics of the predator prey relationship of Sylvester and Tweety when both animals have been given agency. Or how Daffy Duck manages to cope with being shot in the face all the time.

I wanna know how Chichi spent all their Hercule Funbucks so fast.

I thought it was more she bought some baby stuff then set the rest aside for Pan like school and stuff,not that it's actually all spent. Honestly Hercule is rich and Bulma is the richest person on Earth most likely, they don't have to worry about money it's more about making Goku into what she thinks is a good grandfather so Pan can be a normal kid. Too bad for Chi-Chi that Pan is a saiyan so that's unlikely as all hell.

edit: As an aside I hate that Toriyama doesn't like drawing tails so no one gets them. I'd be great Videl and Hercule know Goku etc are descended from aliens but I don't think they've ever seen the giant monkey part and I think it'd be hilarious.

i like how db is an allegory for austrian economics, with goku being the avatar of the free market and invaders from space being government regulation and destruction of liberty. except in the cell saga where dr. gero is a communist sympathizer which tries to initiate a market failure (cell) but the failure is ultimately corrected by rational actors (gohan, goku, vegeta)

voluntary personal exchange, that's why he's goku's best friend

it also makes a poignant point when freeza destroys him in front of goku. freeza is literally regulatory capture gone insane and the episode shows that you can only push the market so much before there is a massive correction

Real talk - in the new "multiple universes" Super developments, where does that put Future Trunks' timeline? Does it constitute its own universe, or is it a splinter universe of the main timeline? If this is the case, does his splinter have its own multiple universes with other Gods of Destruction?

Yeah, the Ox King isn't a true king, that was basically his villain title, he assaulted travellers and pillaged villages and that's where his castle, treasures and money came from.

Alternate timelines are splinters. And people like Jaco are supposed to stop that from happening.

So did Trunks cause the splinter then? Maybe all the characters and events of the main timeline prior to Trunks arrival never actually existed until Trunks used his time machine :tinfoil:

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.

He has to battle his own version of Team Rocket consisting of Dabura's creepy sister and her demonic Cell/Real doll.

Speaking of Dabura, did Babidi's Majin marking come with a power boost or was it supposed to unlock latent evil energy or what the hell did that thing do? Vegeta was stronger when he had it but I don't remember if that was because the mark unleashed power he was holding back or if the mark itself was a boost to his energy or something

The mark turned two sub-Mr.Satan fighters into generic Freeza soldiers/Raditz's too, so I guess both.
