She was already well on her way to being on the level of importance as Oolong and Puar near the end of Dragon Ball, but she was still around. I don't really see why she got the axe at the start of Z.

She didn't get the axe. Toriyama literally forgot about her.

It's hilarious how badly this translated in the original cut of DBZ the anime. Just look at loving Fake Namek for a perfect example of how things went wrong.

You say it like it was an accident. The manga was still in serialization while the anime was being made, they had to do everything they could to drag the anime out because it would rapidly overtake the manga otherwise.

It helps that the villain's name is right on the title or box art (Cooler's Revenge, Broly the Legendary Super Sayain). With the Pokemon movies people remember whatever legendary is on the box but not anything else, and who cares about Naruto movies? :v:

Point is, it's all marketing.

Does Raichi have anybody left in reserve? The only one I can think of is Recoome, so its either Recoome (could happen, Vegeta is totally spent), or Hatchiyak.

Recoome powerdunking Vegeta out of nowhere would be the best way to end this fight tbh.

Prison Warden posted:

Emperor Veggie Kakarot is interesting, at first I just thought that he was Goku who didn't hit his head, but he still knew Krillin as a friend, so he presumably trained with Roshi. I guess him having his saiyan rage creeping up every so often could be because of his saiyan heritage bubbling up. But now I'm wondering if the divergence point is that this Goku won the first World Martial Arts Tournament, got arrogant and ended up killing his friends in giant monkey from.

It's probably not that, but I like the idea, it jumps out to me as one of the most major turning points of Goku's life.

I'd like to imagine that the first parts of Dragonball still happened but Goku was a massive dick the whole time (but still managed to make some earth friends I guess), before he got increasingly aggressive and just ended up killing everyone.

I remember really digging the art when I first got into DBM, but looking at all these old pages...the new artist is so much better.

I was kind of unclear on that scene. Does Popo miss Kami, or was he amazed that Kami was actually gonna give Goku the job at one point?

My money is on it being a fake, the pose is the exact pose that was used on the recent poster. More tellingly is the fact that the hands are almost identical, down to the same lines on the joints. Its a good fake, but its probably still a fake.

Not to mention the neck thing, shoulders, and head seem oddly shifted to the right. Like it was just traced on top of the original image.

Don't tell me the dragons not as strong as their space pods.

He doesn't even have to kill them. They could have just wished for the Saiyans to teleported to a remote corner of the universe where it would take millions of years to get to Earth.

It was the same as Buu. SS4 Gogeta was too cocky for his own good and ended up loving around the entire time, used up all his time and unfused right before he was gonna obliterate Omega Shenron. Stuff happend after that yadda yadda. Then Spirit Bomb, the end.

It always made more sense for Vegeta to finish off Freeza anyway. A big part of his character arc was being forced to live under Freeza's thumb for most of his life after Freeza destroyed everything he knew and loved. Goku didn't even have anything personal against Freeza until he killed Krillin.

Has there ever been a real explanation for Turles & his gang? I think I read on a wiki that he looks like Goku because that's how all low-class saiyans look, kind of like clone troopers? Did he just run away from Freeza and form some Space Pirates?
As an aside, he has a cool purplish brown skintone that I think would look good in Xenoverse.

Turles is a movie villian and not canon, so no, it's just this random group of Saiyans and one just looks like Goku.
