Do we have any indication of where Pilaf's resources came from anyway? Before Goku & Co. showed up, he seemed to have a pretty swanky base. Hell, he could have used the flying fortress that he let Piccolo take over to raid small villages and still make out like a king. Why bother with the Dragonballs?

Taxes? He is an emperor after all. This is why he gets poorer and more desperate after Goku smashes up his palace (and kills all of his citizens).

Did he have subjects though? Mai and Shu were hired from a newspaper ad.

I genuinely don't remember if modern Piccolo and Bulma ever exchanged more than a few words.

I guess she got him to record the Mafuba which is a good start to a lasting friendship.

They talk quite a bit during the Cell saga. When Trunks and Vegeta are fighting Cell and Tien, Piccolo, and Bulma are at the lookout. Piccolo is relaying information to her about the fight, who is powering up, etc. They're obviously social enough that he shows up at all her parties and hangs out at her house from time to time.

Shenlong is really pulling in the overtime hours for Super. How many times have they summoned the poor guy now?

To be fair, he probably went hundreds of years without being disturbed before Bulma built a radar.. It's about drat time he got some work in.

I don't think there was malice, he just does the Whis thing of speaking kinda snobby almost?

I think its more feigned disinterest that snobby. I like to think that Whis genuinely cares about his little Earth-dwelling friends apart from the cuisine.

^^^ I believe the whole deal is that it brings out any dormant power in you. It made more sense in Dragonball than it did in Z when everyone was going all-out.

Blockhouse posted:

to be fair both yamcha and krillin learn it off screen and tien probably learned it from shen


Krillin actually learned it mid-fight vs Chiaotzu. He does a tiny little puffball one to see if he even can, then pulls out the real one.

He does this in the manga too I believe.

Goku was pretty worn down at that point. 3 multiplied by "tired as gently caress" ki is probably pretty mediocre.

The same way you can spend hours honing and sharpening a knife blade to razor sharpness, or go out into a shale quarry and find a piece sharp enough to cut your finger off.

I got my wife into Kai while she was pregnant, and now that she's had the baby, she wanted to see what was next. We got sick of waiting for Buu-Kai, so we opted for plain old DBZ Buu Saga. Holy loving poo poo. It was So. Goddamn. SLOW. Entire episodes of people punching the pink goo monster, continuing to do nothing over and over and over, failing to see that maybe, just maybe, punching him isn't the path to victory. You really start to see some of the inconsistencies between animation studios when you binge-watch it.

And the post-Buu stuff was excruciating and I'm pretty sure I'd never seen it before. "Goku defeats the planet-destroying pink goo monster, but what will he do about this dinosaur egg?!"

buu saga didn't need a kai tbh

Having watched it in the last month or so, I couldn't disagree more. The fights with the various iterations of Buu are so unnecessarily drawn out. Holy poo poo. So much posturing and fake-outs and other bullshit.

I want him to rage out with his wife and daughter watching and be determined not to lose regardless of the opponent.

Also, I'd like to see some sort of audience for the non-Earthlings. Even in the last tournament nobody came to cheer on Universe 6. That was kinda sad.

How does Cell not turning them into candy make it more evil then when Buu ate people?

Cell stabs you with a giant straw and sucks your innards out as you scream in agony. I'll take candy death over that any day.

I don't think its a stretch to assume they're basically the same species. Like somehow Beerus and Champa are brothers but ended up as GoDs of separate universes, so they might originally come from the Pride Trooper's one.

Beerus and Champa are cats. The other thing is a rabbit.

Calling it now, Universe 6 will win the tournament, and their wish will be to fuse with Universe 7 for the delicious Earth Food. Frost and Frieza will form a new space empire to battle the Saiyans, now commanded by the new Admiral Vegeta. Goku will be there too, probably.. Bulma will have to rebuild Capsule Corp from the ground up. Dende will have to make entirely new Dragonballs, along with a sleek new Lookout. The Saiyan children will suddenly be relevant again, training Pan and Bra and fighting against the dangers of the new fused Earth. And finally, Champa and Beerus will fuse to avoid one of them being destroyed, and will become the mighty Miller High Life, the Champa of Beerus.

I still like to think the extra Future Trunks that was created when Beerus and Whis stopped Zamasu got sent to Chronos as a favor by them so he the normal Future Trunks and Mai can live their live in peace in that timeline without the other Trunks showing up.
