Yeah being immortal in DBZ is like being invincible. You can still lose our be outclassed in a fight, but you can honestly just keep taking it until your opponent fights themself to death.

Also, this is a universe in which Beerus exists. It's worth it just to have an insurance policy against him.

From what I've read, that's apparently some glamour jutsu she's got permanently on to look young. She really is an old lady, considering she's around Jiraya's age.

He really is overdue for some character development, from what I can tell. He's looking pretty flat compared to the other Straw Hats these days.

It is good Klein wasn't the main character, for the writer would have made him terrible. Off screen, he can be the shonen protagonist of our wildest dreams, forever.

i thought Basements, as a concept, were things that had to be found/obtained/learned in order for the heroes to actually accomplish what they originally set out to do, rather then being what the overall plot hinges upon

i. e., we need to reach Erin's basement if we're ever gonna kill all the titans, Guts needs to get off the boat if anything else is ever gonna happen, we need to figure out all that stuff if the Straw Hats are ever gonna figure out what/where the One Piece is

Actually, finding the location of One Piece itself doesn't seem too difficult, since all evidence points to it being (or at least A Major Clue to it) being on the island at the very end of the Grand Line that no one can get to because it has crazy weather by New World standards protecting it. The trick is getting there.
