Pilaf would be their best bet as team leader, clearly. I mean he even has experience beyond his years as an emperor.

Its interesting how basically none of our heroes have any sort of command or leadership experience. I mean Roshi ran a dojo, which is kinda that, and Vegeta was a prince of apparently one dude, but thats it. Honestly the only one with experience managing a fighting force is Frieza and maybe dont give that dude the reigns.

E: did Pilaf ever have an army beyond Mai and Shu? Hes basically on team hero now, if only in a mascot capacity

Bulma runs a multinational corporation, she should be team leader in a mech suit.

I'm pretty sure if weapons were allowed then Bulma would beat Tien in usefulness.

You know, it wouldn't be allowed in the tournament, but why HASN'T Bulma created a suit of power armor based on the Androids technology?

She fixed up 16 she knows how it works.

I presume because there's no good reason for it. She has Goku on speed dial and anything he can't handle a suit of Android-armor isn't going to.

(She's also married to Vegeta but you know, Goku.)

Probably because she doesn't want to get beat to poo poo by space weirdos, showing her to be smarter than Tony Stark.

Piccolo is the smartest fighter of the 10, and considering he's 3 dudes in one (one of those dudes being a literal god) you'd think he'd have the most experience with this sort of thing.

Piccolo likes to think of himself as a tactician, but can't seem to figure out moves that don't involve standing still for twenty minutes.

Vegeta throwing sand into Zarbon's eyes or Goku faking Cell out with Warp Kamehameha is probably the most tactical a DBZ fight has ever gotten.

Back in Dragonball people would sometimes grab Goku's tail to give themselves an advantage! And Krillin has at least once used Solar Flare to run away from an enemy far strong than him, Which are you know, tactics.

When cell first shows up he beats him up pretty good and makes him run away too, doesn't he? Right after he merges with kami.

You say that like he's not from japan or something. Like DB is not the first or only anime with tits and sex "jokes" in it.

Also, all of Dragon Ball was done in the mid to late 80s.

poo poo was way different in Japan in the 80s. Fist of the North Star was a kids show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-YLAGAC0JI

This was acceptable to show to children.

Hell even the violence of DBZ is kind of weird for a kids cartoon even in Japan. Mostly it was a product of being, again, from the 80s.

You won't see the same kind of bloody dismemberment and graphic kills that you occasionally got in Dragon Ball and DBZ in Dragon Ball Super.

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
Someone translated Dragon Garou Lee's short comic about Cell vs Arale. Dragon Garou Lee is the person who made the DBZ vs One Punch Man comics if you're unfamiliar with the name.

Edit: Also a new chapter of the DBZ vs One Punch Man saga!

I remember being a kid and recording on a VHS tape the episode of the 23rd tournament where Piccolo ripped off his broken arm and sprayed blood everywhere, back when his blood was still red.

Bit of a far cry from today where Piccolo's arm effortlessly and cleanly detaches.

So it took weeks of reading and watching, but I finally caught up with the thread and the anime both. Dragonball is really good you guys!

Also when the dub aired the episode when Mr. Satan was pulling an epic battle out of his rear end, I loving swore he said lord Beavis instead of Beebus or whatever. It inspired me to draw a thing in MS Paint
