Oh. The Gohan timeline is always confusing, especially since he started being named factually inaccurate things like teen Gohan and the whole hyperbolic time chamber business

Piccolo never left Gohan alone though, he was always watching and ended up intervening when he saw that Gohan really couldn't deal with being on his own.

It's also important to remember that Piccolo's a whole four years older than Gohan. It's hard to be a parental figure when you're 7 years old (and without a dad yourself at that, seeing as how Gohan's dad killed his own before he was even born), and Piccolo still did it and still did a better job than Gohan's actual dad.

Meanwhile a much more adult Goku left Gohan to die against Cell because of a complete misunderstanding of his son's personality. Which Piccolo fully called him out on.

What's the best way to train a 4 or 5 year old?

Throw him at lightning speed into a motherfucking mountain.

Giving him a few apples once is not good parenting.

Making excuses for why Piccolo was a bad dad doesn't make him a good dad. It just means it's not his fault that he's a bad dad.

Shouldn't Nail and Kami's ages be added to his own given he has all their experience, wisdom etc as part of him? Or at least count in some manner, even if it's not cumulative.

In the distant future of the Dragon Ball world it becomes national policy that all children have to spend time living in the wilderness away from their parents.

This was supposedly part of the back story for Dragon Ball Online which was worked on by Toriyama and was basically canon before Super.

This is what we get for electing a dog as emperor of the world. Pilaf was right.

"Curse of the Blood Rubies" is the most generic title a Dragon Ball film could possibly get.

I will always be grateful to Curse of the Blood Rubies because grabbing it at Blockbuster is what got me into Dragonball. See also: the 77 Hobbit film on the exact same shelf and Tolkien.

1.) I imagine it still hurt to get blown the gently caress up.
2.) It's the principle of the matter. He's an important dude, he's not supposed to have to worry about exploding crickets and poo poo.

Wouldn't it be the same with Supreme Kai then? We know Kais just get halos, wouldn't he just pop back up in Otherworld and be able to continue his reign?

I was asking about in Super how he wants to be revived even though he won't actually go anywhere.
