Yeah, basically Satan's not a bad fighter he's just not a multiverse-class one. I'm pretty sure he could beat Yamcha even without ki, honestly.

If Yamcha never flew or shot a ki blast and had both arms tied, sure, maybe

I was kinda hoping Yamcha would show up to the Frieza fight at least. In the movie I get it, but if they're bringing in Gotenks, they could have thrown in Yamcha.

Even in the movie it makes no sense whatsoever. Tenshinhan's reasoning to not tell Yamcha is that it will be too dangerous for him...as Krillin brings Master Roshi, and everyone acts as if that was the most normal decision in the world.

At least Super doesn't have Tenshinhan say anything about Yamcha. Now it just looks like everyone forgot his existance.

I thought Roshi came to bring senzus and then just ended up being stuck there, only to show he had been working out. Or was that the manga adaptation of the movie?

Biologically immortal. He can still be killed.

Also, he died trying to seal away King Piccolo once. A second time when Super Buu killed him.

Shark tamer ridiculous
Roshi and Yamcha have died the same number of times.

lovely memes aside, given the logic in Gohan not training and being weak as poo poo, seeing as Yamcha has given up training too there's a chance he's just as weak as people like to (hilariously) make him out to be.

Why would Roshi bring senzus when Krillin had to carry him? Krillin would have had to carry him out too. They just swung by Korin's tower together to pick them up.

Also, Yamcha boasts to Beerus that he's one of the greatest martial artists on the planet in Super, which, while technically true, seems to hint that he's still doing something.

No, I'm afraid you're mistaken, because I've seen every episode since 4 on release day or very close to it and if I found out I had been doing that for most of a decade my head would fall off and roll down a hill. So I'm afraid you are mistaken.

Wasn't he so offended by Dragonball Evolution that it prompted him to get back into making DB stuff again?

It sounds like another thing people want to be true, like Toriyama hating GT. You see it a lot but its especially prevalent in Dragonball.

The thing is, though, Miyazaki actually did say something like that:

quote:

You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life. If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!

Said it in an interview.

But yeah, you can fake quotes on the Internet easily.

Toriyama also commented on Evolution a bit http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2013/05/20/akira-toriyama-directly-comments-on-dragon-ball-evolution/
Might not have to do with him continuing the series, but he still said he disliked the movie.

I've watched Dragonball Evolution. Multiple times. Its existence makes so much more sense when you realize it's actually an attempt to cash in on, of all things, the original superhero movie rush (Spider-man, X-men, etc.) You could make a drinking game of all the direct ripoffs of the first Spider-man film. It's like Green Lantern tier.

My brother keeps telling me that Toriyama hosed up the details of all sorts of dbz stuff in some interview somewhere.

Like he totally forgot that SS2 happened in the cell saga at all, and was referring to SS3 as SS2. Stuff like that.

They don't count GT but they (presumably, it's the only way I can get to 24) count the four DB movies? Surprising, cause they're way worse than the GT Special.

Also, if Dead Zone and World's Strongest don't get the respect they deserve (Top 10 bare minimum, should be Top 5), I'll be so mad I'll go Super Saiyan.
