DBS is basically DBC: DragonBall Commercialized

Pufferfish is edible if prepared correctly

Even before that, in the Saiyan Saga, that becomes way darker when the crew of Z Fighters gets killed off after everything that happens in OG DB. That's why it's more beneficial to start something from the very beginning. I know many started with DBZ and I did told because it was broadcast on TV first in the U.S. but afterwards I went back to OG DB then rewatched and it all hit so much more.

Because of Krillin confirmation 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@Cratossama we both know there’s more patting to come

That has been my theory. The sweet and innocent dark haired character "transforms" into an aggressive, more powerful blonde character. That's why Toriyama conveniently "forgot" about her. I know he had a crazy production schedule and would forget things but Launch was a pretty consistent character through OG DB so it seems less likely that he'd just completely forget about her. If I remember, DBZ shows her in a bar during the Saiyan Saga and she's sad because Tien died. The Saiyan Saga is when the franchise pivoted from the Legendary Sun Wukong Monkey King narrative to the Science Fiction Space Alien Warrior narrative. Also kinda symbolic that most of the Z Fighters from OG DB get killed off to push forward alien fighters.

Mostly exclusive

I'd argue that she was intentionally "forgotten" about since her schtick is so much like a certain main character in the next show. The sweet and innocent dark haired character "transforms" into an aggressive, more powerful blonde character. Sounds a lot like someone else.

I'd argue she was "intentionally" forgotten since she is so much like a later character development. The sweet and innocent dark haired character "transforms" into an aggressive, more powerful blonde character. Sounds a lot like a certain main character that suddenly has a legendary transformation.

@@jessecortez9449 I do miss seeing Launch when I watch the series, we barely even saw her since Frieza Saga

@@FoxyBoy-mz2ys so do I. She has some pretty solid character growth throughout OG DB. It's not overt but Blonde Launch does go through growth when you compare her here to the end of OG DB. Toriyama struggles to write female characters so they end up kinda becoming stereotypical nagging or domineering cause it's funny but Launch, even as her more aggressive Blonde persona, is among the rare exceptions. Almost like the two personalities blend into one in a good way.

She's also in Son Goku and His Friends Return

I feel like Vegeta showing up changed the series where some of Goku's friends in Z and onwards has way less action or screentime compared to in regular Dragon Ball.

​@FoxyBoy-mz2ys I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. It's kinda interesting because I don't remember Toriyama ever mentioning Vegeta as one of his favorite characters yet he gets pushed the hardest at the expense of other characters

@@kingbayo123 he’s not Vegeta is a fan favorite

I'd argue that Toriyama intentionally "forgot" about Launch. Her schtick is an awful lot like a certain main character in the next show. The sweet and innocent dark haired character "transforms" into an aggressive, more powerful blonde character. Seems a lot like a so called legendary transformation in the next show.

He didn't forget, he wrote her out- he later forgot that he didn't forget her 🤔
