Why do they keep teasing Buu, then prevent him from fighting at the last second? :argh:

He has one of the more unique fighting styles, I was looking forward to him in the tournament :(

I suspect they keep having to deal with "Buu is around and exists and is absurdly powerful" mixed with "a gumball genie who is effectively unkillable and can turn his opponents into candy basically either has to job/be nosold or is unstoppable as written."

Speaking of which: was him punching Jeice in the face anime filler or was it in the manga too?

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.

I also don't think that's uncharacteristic of Goku knowing that Monaka is supposed to be stronger than him.

Hello Fatty!


Fun Shoe
OK, I have some free time and I really don't feel like doing taxes right now. Time for more GT!

Episode 8: Whisker Power

In this episode: The writers continue to rip offpay tribute to the Oolong arc of Dragonball classic.
  • This arc's villain continues to be grating beyond words.
  • Goku finally says what I spent the whole last episode screaming and suggests just attacking the guy. Apparently this is too dangerous because he could set off a volcano or something.
  • Goku helpfully reminds us that Trunks, though captured, is unfathomably strong and as such is in no real danger. So... why do I care about any of this again?
  • I'm not angry that Goku stripped naked in front of his granddaughter and a complete stranger. I'm angry that he then proceeds to take his clothes down with him into the lake. Wasn't the point to keep his clothes dry while he searched!?
  • Every time I start getting annoyed with Pan she kicks the robot and I instantly like her again.
  • This monster has a lot of women's clothing in his closet. Just saying.
  • Trunks's cover is blown and the monster is fine with it either way. I'll admit it. I laughed.
  • Oh. I guess the monster still thought Trunks was a girl when his wig came off. That's less funny...
  • Monster finally creates the earthquake he's been threatening everyone with the whole episode and it is SO ANOYING!
  • Wait what!? So the monster can't make earthquakes but instead just predicts them and fakes it? Bullshit!
  • No really, there were no hints that this was what was happening. In fact, the timing of the earthquakes is so convenient that the monster faking it is really hard to believe.
  • Trunks smacks the monster down showing that this whole ordeal was indeed a pointless waste of time.
  • Volcano starts erupting on it's own. This seems to surprise the earthquake-predicting monster for some reason.
  • Now that I think about it it's kind of weird that the monster made his home under a volcano he knew would be going off soon.
  • Pretty sure hitting a volcano with a ki blast would rain down fiery death on everyone within twenty miles, but whatever.
  • Wasn't the whole reason they couldn't fight him in the first place because because a volcano might erupt? God damnit show!!!
  • Village decides to take in the annoying sociopath that spent the last several years extorting them/trying to rape their women because he just feel awful about the whole thing. :psyduck:
  • In a surprise twist one of the villagers was a villain in disguise and has stolen the Dragonball! This raises so many questions I don't even know where to start. How did a village of like thirty people not notice this new guy show up? How does he know what a Dragonball is or what it does? How did he know that the Dragonball was there in the first place? Why didn't he just take it by force? I mean it's not like these villagers are particularly strong.
  • Eh. Whatever, as long as it get's me out of this arc I'll take it.

I really liked this week's episode. It had a lot of good jokes, seeing how different the other universe's Saiyans are was cool, just great stuff. Plus, since Team Beerus is down a man and Kibito and Supreme Kai are split again, we might get Vegito as the fifth man, which would be rad.

But then they'd have to waste a wish separating. Plus they stated already that this is basically no-stakes for them since the planet will just change universes but stay intact.

If Piccolo splits Nail out, though, then we're talking

I wouldn't be super shocked if the stakes get raised towards the end. Even if Potamo and robot guy are jokes and Frost and Cabba are both chill dudes they're definitely implying something's up with Hit.

Poor Monaka, Goku still hasn't learned his boundaries. Still, he has to be pretty strong to survive a full power punch he wasn't expecting.

It is a delicate balancing act. Being the video monopoly has great advertising perks, but you can't be too vigilant about copyright take downs, or all of your content creators will revolt and go to Vimeo or whatever. Google makes a good showing of taking down stuff, but honestly we all know 97% of all Youtube content is in some kind of technical violation of copyright, so they don't try too hard.

The takedown is an automated system that checks for video footage. Yes that's loving stupid but Google appears to give no fucks and all TFS has to do is appeal and they'll go whoops sorry. It happens to LPs sometimes too

What's the copyright situation on DBZ Abridged, anyway? I know they have a disclaimer...but a disclaimer is not a magic get-out-of-infringement-free card. Parody is (rightfully) protected under Fair Use laws...but does that still get to apply when they're not just parodying material but straight up lifting footage wholesale?
