[@danieldishon688]

Here's my head canon for why the Son family house moves between 3 locations: A compromise between living in both Chichi and Gokus home areas as well as a pragmatic means of keeping Sayens fed. Goku eats so much meat he'd probably overhunt a local forest into extinction if he didn't give it a break periodically even granted some of these forest have dinosaurs with absurd amounts of meat to feed them with. So they migrate between the Ox Kings home area on the plateau and Grandpa Gohans area at the base of the mountain and a rural farm area when during planting season and harvest time Goku works the land for both vegetables for the family and to produce an income. This would also let Goku have some very varied training routines throughout the year as he does typical turtle hermit like draining as he finds ways to make farm chores into a martial art exercise and more intense training deep in the woods away from others and perhaps meditative ki training when they go to the plateau.

[@kotlolish]

I wouoldn't be surprised of this either.. since we know Goku's job in Super is "FARMER" and guess what most farmers do? Not recultivate the same land over and over and over.. cause doing so will make it BARREN. You rotate it. 1 year of crops, 1 year of hay, 1 year of nothing but cattle on it and then rotating back out. (though this is a gross exarutation, mostly it's several years in between) But considering how Goku can easily eat and farm at a fast pace? You would need to move locations to give the land a break! But yea this is a good theory too. The moving of Goku's house makes sense since he can eat the mountain dry if left in 1 spot. Especially with the fishing and farming.

4:43 I think in regards to Goten and Trunks being disqualified it's because they more because they registered as a single fighter 'Mighty Mask' when in fact it was a two separate people in a single 'trench coat' situation.

[@ShaimingLong]

Yeah, it was more a case of a big rule being broken as how it applies to more people in the future, than it just being they were kids in the adult matches. It doesn't invalidate the fact they were too young, more that two people acting as one supersedes the need to bring up that they were kids.

[@goldliger1976]

No, the cooldown for Fusion dance was still in the Broly movie. It is just that yeah things were quick on our end but for them the whole process took an hour and half to finish. Meaning Frieza was being pummeled by Broly for over an hour.

[@EmeralBookwise]

There were two failed fusions attempts, which would mean Frieza would have been fighting Broly for over 3 straight hours. Which quite honestly strains credulity compared to the Tournament of Power, which was only 48 minutes, during which Frieza took frequent breaks, and yet was still too tired to maintain his golden form by the end.

[@goldliger1976]

@@EmeralBookwise 2 hours if we count for teaching Vegeta the fusion dance.

[@Jazzpuppo]

@@EmeralBookwise It would only be an hour since after the first fail Piccolo says "Try it again in thirty minutes." Though to be fair I watched the Dub and not the original so that might be an inconsistency.

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@goldliger1976: The fusion is what lasts 30-minutes, but at least according to DBZ, also requires an additional 60-minute cool down in between attempts. In DBS, however, they seem to have forgotten the cool down as Picolo only refers to the 30-minute fusion limit with each failed attempt.

[@goldliger1976]

@@EmeralBookwise In the fusion reborn movie did the same. Goku and Vegeta failed the first fusion. Had to endure 30 minutes of that failed fusion then they split and then immediately after running from Janemba they started again. The whole "wait 30 minutes to try again" was so that they had to wait for the fusion timer to end before trying again as they were stuck as Veku.

I like to think that Bulma secretly wished Vegeta was taller and he didn't notice.

[@JaceMorley]

For how Vegeta got SSG, my theory is that the ritual provides a means for a Saiyan to access God Ki, so it's possible he asked Whis/Beerus for help accessing it, and they taught him an alternative approach to channel God Ki. Would fit his character development to have to swallow his pride to ask for help, and explain why he's never told anyone how he did it. He may have literally had to kneel and beg Beerus, and no way is he telling Goku he did that.

[@joribremer5260]

1:44 I think i can understand this, its about the Threat of Raditz (make 1 character look smaller )

[@KeiranTrick]

I like this theory, though it would be sad if it was the writers intention, given the viewer wouldn't directly experience that character development. Less narrative payoff and all, y'know? I can also see Beerus/Whis actually agreeing to his request, because two strong opponents training together will ascend way higher in strength and skill than one fighter could alone, even if that one fighter was training under Whis. So helping Vegeta keep up with Goku after he was essentially given a free level up would be a long term benefit.

[@nathanmarshall745]

Considering the entertainment value, Whis would never keep that a secret from Goku, he'd make sure Vegeta was nearby to hear it

[@EmeralBookwise]

Vegeta has also always been a fighting genius. After his first visit to earth, he mimicked the ability sense ki without any formal training. It's entirely possible that much like how Goku was able to integrate some of SSG's power into his base form while fighting Berus, Vegeta was likewise able to observe and emulate that power... although probably still needing training with Whis to refine it.

[@Amartin-mu6oj]

God ki can be transferred, we see it when goku and vegeta are training and their fists clashed, and when trunks gained god ki with his ssj rage form

[@EmeralBookwise]

Well, by the next time we see the Dragon Balls being used Kami had fused with Piccolo and the Dragon Balls were now linked to Dende instead. It's possible being younger and less experienced, Dende isn't able to bypass the time limit.

[@duilena]

@@EmeralBookwise I think Dende also got Shenron a second wish? I always assumed that meant he was more skilled. Though perhaps it was a trade for not being able to bypass the time limit, or it put more strain on Shenron meaning bypassing the time might hurt him.

The frustrating thing about ignoring the fusion cooldown in DBS:Brolly, was that it could have been very easily avoided if instead of Piccolo coaching them to fuse in some random field, he could have been at the Lookout, allowing them to use the time chamber for those scenes. With Cooldown the two failed fusion attempts would total to around 3 hours, but if that was inside the time chamber, only half a minute would pass outside.

[@AxtonTheObstagoon]

now that i think about it, wasn't it Goku who taught Goten and Trunks the technique? wasn't Piccolo just helping with the demonstration?

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@AxtonTheObstagoon: Yes, there is that fact too, but ostensibly Piccolo is a better teacher than Goku or something. Really, though Vegeta is also a fighting genius who has copied numerous techniques in the past without ever needing to be trained to use them, and he's seen Goten and Trunks perform the technique multiple times before, so it would have quite honestly been entirely reasonable to just skip that part movie all together.

[@AxtonTheObstagoon]

@@EmeralBookwise honestly, i agree with you. Between Goku already knowing it long prior and Vegeta's quick learning, it shouldn't take more than maybe 2 or 3 attempts if not the first try. Also this is just my theory, but i think that a failed fusion might have a shorter cooldown if not no cooldown at all

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@AxtonTheObstagoon: Unfortunately, that theory would be very much disproven by Gotenks, who very explicitly had to wait the full thirty minutes plus cool down every time he failed a fusion in the Buu arc.

[@TheJjcczz]

The shots of Raditz and the three at the tournament are Low Angle shots. The shot is deliberately making Raditz look big and imposing while making Krillin look smaller. The one at the tournament is also making all 3 look slightly taller than they are As for the issues regarding the tournaments, rulings are typically made by the judges. In the cases of Manwolf and Piccolo they were there to fight specific people and disqualifying them wouldn’t have stopped them. Everyone had also fled when Piccolo destroyed the ring with only the announcer staying behind to make the final call himself. This same thing happened in the cell games as well. As for Goten and Trunks not only did they know the kids were strong, with the announcer even commenting to Goku about tournaments not being as exciting since they stopped coming, but the group even complained about the junior division during registration. They had also just come in 1st and 2nd in the junior division with people seeing how strong they were, so disqualifying them for fighting together is equally valid and prevents any further complaints The commonly excepted fan explanation that I’ve seen for Trunk’s and Bulma’s hair colour is that it starts out purple changes to blue as they get older and then will eventually become a grey purple like Dr. Briefs. Bulma is 16 when she meets Goku and Trunks is 18/20 at the end of Z so close enough to be reasonable

on a side note - i really like female Saiyan designs in the Bardock movie and the DBS Broly movie, they look so unique compared to the main female characters. You can see them in the backgrounds from time to time, the one who laughed at Bardock in the bar scene is my favorite design.

[@cheezeofages]

I like tho think the Vegeta growing taller thing as just a sayan thing where they don't necessarily stop growing as early as humans do but conditions can stunt it. Similar to their ability to get stronger by near death experiences, they stop growing when they stop needing to, for survival, or at a certain age. Short Vegeta was very strong for what he was fighting and his planet was destroyed, so his body adapted by just not gorwing anymore. Post joining the cast he was fighting and nearly dying a lot and eatin' good from that domestic living with a rich woman so he didn't need to be smoall for survival and was also getting near death boosts on the regular. So biggening began.

[@Eminster]

I guess Goku just grew faster than Vegeta bc of Goku is younger

[@LancerkingNoel]

4:10 As I recall Roshi tells the announcer that it's alright for Manwolf to use the knife. As for the bone, it falls on the fact of a prop the fighter is already carrying aroundd but not being actually a weapon nor used in an unsporty way (like stabbing an eye with the bone). The previous tournament had a flying reptile that could produce from it's body a gum-like sustance and was completely legal. That thing could also fly back to the stage with its wings while Goku was at risk of disqualification for using the nimbus since it was a prop that could prevent Goku from being thrown out. If Goku would take off his Gi belt and strangle an oponent with it, it would be legal, since he's using his own clothes as a resource adn was also something he was not hiding from the oponent. You can smash the oponent to the ground and into the walls, so therefore extracting a tile or a block and throwing it would be legal since they are not using an acctual weapon and it's something the oponent can see that is around... this is also why Goku was not disqualified from stealing the announcer's glasses when he fought Tien

The way I see it, Bulma and Trunks started with purple hair, and when they reached their late teens/adulthood, it began to turn blue. Superhero Trunks would still be fairly young, so it's possible he still had some purple for the fusion.

[@acecashman1237]

Problem is Trunks was biologically 20 years old after coming out of the time chamber but still had purple hair, meanwhile Trunks in Super at 17 already has blue hair. Then you run into the problem of anime Bulma already having blue hair at 13

[@HayatoByakurai]

@@acecashman1237 "Future" Trunks was retconned into having blue hair at least since Gohan was alive, and in the Super manga his present counterpart has the same color since his first appearance (though Gotenks still had the Z colors). It's just the anime waiting too long to apply the change on the most recent iteration of the character that made it look awkward. Bulma's earliest appearance with blue hair is arguably in Jaco the Galactic Patrolman though, where both her five and sixteen-year-old selves seem to have it (probably the first time the hair color retcon was applied to the manga, as it launched about two years prior). If we're to make sense of the two hair colors existing, though, I'd say it changes due to the person's intellect (as Bra has it from an early age), though the plot hole of Bulma knowing her future son's had changed remains.

[@Cereal009]

Lol, no.

[@creategreatness8823]

For some stuff when it comes to design changes....like changing sizes, hairstyle, color, etc.....I pretty strongly chalk it up to "artistic license" and "Stylistic depiction" I mean, a lot of anime, for comedic and dramatic effect, will do a sudden "off model" giant face, giant head, "huge sweatdrop" or "sudden flopping to the floor" type of stuff. I find it hard to see stuff in anime as being literal visual depiction, I tend to think that a visual art based medium is always thinking of the frame and the shot in an artistic sense. It isn't concerned with being "off model" Krillin looking so tiny compared to Raditz is for stylistic impact and effect, to showcase how threatening, imposing and dominating Raditz is. He is a metaphorical giant compared to Krillin...not necessarily a LITERAL giant. Vegeta and Goku is the same way. He appears small and less imposing at first, hiding the fact that he is VERY imposing....but is at a "mental/character deficit" in many ways compared to Goku, never quite measuring up, a slight "Napoleon complex" And then...as the story progresses and the two end up being basically equal in "metaphorical" stature...Vegeta is then drawn to appear almost equal in physical stature. I have just always found anime to be a very stylistic, implied, impressionistic, art and aesthetic driven medium as opposed to a "physically and literally true" type of visual medium. Things can change from shot-to-shot in order for each frame to be the most artistically and aesthetically satisfying and impactful, not so that there is 100% consistency of every physical detail between every single panel.

[@Eminster]

8:58-9:00 yes they can actually. Kami did that when restoring the dragon's power after Mr. Popo glued the statue back together. He did it for Goku and friends for proving not everyone on the planet were selfish or evil (mainly talking about Goku)

[@Dark_Jaguar]

The Cell Jr. thing is actually one of the few I did already know about... That and the Trunk hair thing. Thing is, I would have been a lot less bothered by the Trunk hair situation if it didn't become a relevant plot point when Bulma specifically asked "what color is his hair?" and then immediately recognize him by hair color that she hadn't seen him with up until that point." But, as you say, these things always happen. Even Tolkien had some plot holes. The difference is, Tolkien retconned his in the rather ingenious way of saying "well as I'm researching these ancient events I was reading from flawed accounts but here's the correct account" or "Bilbo actually lied about how he got the ring due to the ring's influence, but he felt guilty later so here's the accurate account".

[@trise2033]

9:37 i think they might have an in-world explanation for the inconsistencies with Fusion. Remember when Shin said the Potara should have been permanent? What if he wasn't dumb, and Goku and Vegeta figured out how to break the rules (the limits, you might say)? What if they just got better at Fusing and ki control than anyone ever had before? (I mean, the main theme of Dragonball is "breaking through any limits", is it not?)

[@leress]

I always thought of it as Shin just assumed that the permanent fusion apply to everyone, but was just wrong.

[@emperortoho]

@@leress he was an apprentice when the first buu incident so it makes sense

[@redkingrauri3769]

In fairness that was Old Kai that said the fusion was permanent, not Shin. Both of their instances would be permanent so they didn't have much to go on. I do subscribe to the idea that ki control made metamoran fusion better given Gogeta was the first fusion to undeniably win the fight without splitting. Plus it implies that Blue lasts longer for a dance fusion than potara. It is also possible the hour difference is for successful fusions. IIRC Goten and Trunks didn't wait an hour after they became fat and old Gotenks to try again. What I would've liked is if Goku knew how to end the fusion early because while it is funny to think of Freeza getting beaten senseless for an hour that's still a really long time.

[@Redstar2613]

The picture from the Piccolo Jr arc could just be down to the angle we're seeing the characters from. That lower angle gives the illusion of him being taller. So I think his height there closely matches that picture you used of him fist bumping Goku in Super. And as someone else said, the Raditz one is an effect to make the new villain seem more intimidating.

[@TaeSunWoo]

With Vegeta’s height I always thought I was cause of lower gravity of Earth plus capsule corp tech

I knew about the Cell Jrs but, admittedly, only because Kaiser talked about it in a DBZA creator commentary. 😅

[@MunchKING]

1:15 I thought that was perspective. Like Krillin is supposed to be closer to the metaphorical "camera" than Goku or Bulma so he looks taller than he does in a shot where they are equidistant. 4:25 I thought he said he didn't care if he was disqualified, he was going to knife Jackie Chun. Jackie was the one who cared about playing by the rules at that point. Also I think, like Pro Wrestling, they only cared if you used your gadgets to hurt someone during the Martial Arts part, or get back to the ring to avoid a ring out. Loads of people were using stuff to distract their opponents in the early ones. 5:30 Hair dye. LOTS of hair dye. :D Or whatever voluntary shapeshifting Sayins do to change the color of their hair already. :p 9:00 I'm pretty sure Kami explicitly said the cool down reset when he glued SHENRON back together in Dragon Ball, so I presume it works that way when Kami gets respawned too.

Finally, Krillin

It would've been funny I think if the eight Cell Junior was meant to handle Mister Satan. He's about to charge in along with his 7 brothers until Cell stops him and tells him to have fun with the "Champ" and his camera crew. And, much like Kid Buu, Cell Junior would let Mister Satan give it his all while he in turn would just flip or gently tap him with his fingers to damage him. Tormenting the guy until Gohan finally goes SSJ2.

[@artizzy2k2k]

It honestly makes it harder to get drawn into because every time you're focused you notice a huge inconsistency that you'll always think about (Trunks' magic color changing hair)

[@atomicwizard7334]

His hair only changed once.

[@artizzy2k2k]

@atomicwizard7334 it still throws you off though. Especially in video games. Like all Trunks' have purple hair then you have blue hair Trunks.

[@jaimeribeiro7096]

Uwat? U wore there man. Little green said "yo shenron,just give me 6 wishes. Were just gona call u again next year,just do wat we want". 😅😅😅 thank u and your friends for giving us the best thing ever! Love your gohan 💪💪💪

[@georgepattimore5429]

You think purple might be the natural colour of Bulma and Trunks' hair and the blue is just dye? Trunks could simply be mimicing his mother. This would explain why the fusion changes it back.

[@dranzart.1959]

In the original Dragon Ball upon airing her hair was shown to be blue from the beginning but in the Dragon Ball movies it was shown to be purple despite it sticking to the story scenes until diverging to the plot of the movie

[@Tyrian3k]

That would mean that future Trunks dyed his hair in the dystopia that Zamasu created? Seems a bit odd to worry about dyeing your hair in such a world.

[@goose4349]

@@Tyrian3ki mean he might have done it in honor of Bulma, cause she uh….yeah

[@goose4349]

Wait wait, gimmie a sec before you respond to me I gotta do a quick fact check

[@goose4349]

Yeah nvm, just watched the clip, his hair is blue before then.

[@rainbow_vader]

Vegeta used the Dragon balls to grow a full 5 centimeters

[@devonstidham9234]

This would make sense.

[@flashtheshapeshafter]

And here I thought I was the only person that noticed Vegeta's getting taller, Krillin I kind of forgot about because he doesn't do as much in Super. I will forever hate blue hair trunks

[@Borgdrohne13]

07:58 less an inconsitencie, more a dub change. In the original, it was only stated, that Frieza's Race can survive in space. There was nothing with breathing.

[@trainershade1937]

9:12 I still prefer the idea that they actually took hours to get it down, during which, Frieza is getting pasted by Broly whilst Whis watches.

[@ImTheStrongest]

I did not know about Krillin's height thing because I've never payed attention to it.

[@atomicwizard7334]

The fusion dance resting period is only something that’s needed with a successful fusion. Goten and trunks never had to wait when their fusions failed. As seen before his fight with Fat Buu.

[@nintendops]

Actually the first inconsistency regarding the dragonballs happened in OG Dragonball between the end of pilaf saga and the beginning of the red ribbon saga only 8 months have passed; 4 months shy of a year.

[@Oretal]

When I watched the Super Broly movie I still remembered about the cool down though I had thought it was 30 minutes. Honestly, I loved the idea of Frieza just being beat up my Broly for a whole hour and that make me chuckle even more when watching the movie.

[@WhiteAngelsPuppet]

I’m hoping it might have some kind of payoff. But highly unlikely

[@Ptscf2]

The longer Krillin is in the series, the shorter he gets. His power is making his body more compact to contain the strength. That has to be it!

[@jasonelmore9527]

I'm always glad to know that other people are aware of the 8 cell jr.s It always drove me crazy trying to count what happened and thinking I made a mistake, but it turns out it was an animation mistake instead

[@ashiel035]

1 hour cool down for each failure, plus 30 minutes of time limit par fusion, not counting the actual perfected fusion. So Broly was beating the living crap out of Frieza for 3 hours, which is pretty impressive considering that most of these fights take about 30 minutes times in canon, apparently.

[@Nori_Nova]

In Super Hero, when Piccolo is talking with Dende, Piccolo’s tongue constantly changes between purple and pink.

[@jamesniosi7239]

I think the failed fusions in DBS Broly are there to imply frieza getting knocked around for over an hour while they try to fuse properly

[@nugget._.samg0]

23 seconds ago. This is the earliest I've clicked a video. '-'

[@autumbreeze1129]

"Super actually fixing something instead of breaking it" A rare miracle

[@isaac-77]

Never knew of the cell Juniors until like 5-6 years after seeing the episode

[@SetoShadowVT]

Definitely late to the party on this but could it be possible in terms of Goku's house for it to be able to be converted into a capsule home? Especially given Bulma's technology it MIGHT be possible?

[@LancerkingNoel]

As for the Arena ddestroyed by Picollo, the shape or height of the arena was still noticeable, that's why Goku could tell to confirm he had beaten Picollo by ring out

[@theskull1030]

8:13 "Vegetaragain".

[@alfiobonanno5100]

Some things, like the lack of information about alternative methods to reach a form, are what is known as a plot gap, not a hile that harms the story, just an empty space where a piece of information we do not have would be placed, incidentally, filling a plot gap later on is not a retcon, just a reveal of previously unknown information.

[@ghoulchan7525]

you get it

[@alphamorion4314]

One of my absolute favorite anime hight panel, is during the fight with Frieza in Z: Frieza standing, grabbing Goku by the shirt and the latter kneeling... And still (kneeling) being almost the same hight as standing Frieza

[@applesauce999]

My theory of why Vegita and trunks can use god ki is due to the fact they where exposed to god ki from being near Goku and the cat.

[@lightgivemepower6425]

No

[@flashtheshapeshafter]

That was the big theory on why trunks went rage back in the day fighting God's and training with Goku and Vegeta for as much as he had everyone just got the impression that he somehow imprinted their God Ki and the rage form is incomplete

[@EmeralBookwise]

I don't think it's ever been stated in any official source that Trunks' rage form uses god ki.

[@applesauce999]

@@EmeralBookwise my evidence is that it is blue lol.

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@applesauce999: So is the Spirit Bomb and Kamehameha. Color alone doesn't realy mean much.

they did my boy krillin dirty, he's like 5'1 but they draw him like 2'8

“OK, Marron, what size do you want to be?” “Nothing distracting, let’s just go with Ds.” “…You’re kidding, right?” “…Yes. 5’2” please.”

[@AkiraNasuki]

Yeah... Piccolo mentioned try again in 30 minutes, the fusion dance cool down was there, frieza fought Broly for 1 hour

[@pIayingwithmahwii]

When he said the “close to home” joke and said “ehh? Ehh?” I could really hear the TFS goku, imagining him annoying vegeta with a lame joke and going “ehh? Ehh?” after the joke lol

[@delayed_reaction_man]

"... or maybe Shenron just knows better" I understood that reference.

[@MrJohnffrey87]

The Ox King’s height varied throughout the series, when he first showed up he was a giant and the others were really small compared to him, later he is a little shorter but still taller than any human, and by the end he’s only a little taller than adult Goku and he remains that way for the rest of the series.

[@Rob6990]

Shenron knows better than to mess with Popo-Sama

[@MercuryAlphaInc]

My headcanon is that the fusion timer in Broly still worked normally, so Goku and Vegeta had to wait around to fuse again. It makes Freeza getting his ass absolutely pulled inside out by Broly all the more funny and cathartic, really.

[@LaoziPoet]

Wait! Vegita getting taller makes sense! When nappa and him get to earth they comment on how easy it is to fly around, implying that the gravity is lighter. So if he lives here now, he actually would get taller

[@ArtificialNinea9]

rewatching dbs broly I noticed shenron seemingly only granted one wish than dipped, I feel like sometimes they either just forget or are moving so fast.

[@divinedeathlord6990]

Hello Masako hope you have a great day you're the best 👍 Also 18 is probably thinking: Im dating a chibi fighter how cute

[@dubuyajay9964]

To quote a certain comedian he's "fun size."

[@neonproxyx3982]

i might be mistaken but in the dragon ball super brolly movie they do have a 1 hour cooldown, i believe it was stated that freeza was fighting brolly for 1 hour according to the light novel.

[@soulreaper2008]

I try to think of Trunks' hair going from purple to blue as just changing as he got older. Since Bulma's sorta does it too I see it like a person with bright blonde hair having it slowly turn more brown over time

[@Tim.Stotelmeyer]

I was thinking the same thing. My hair went from brown to black in my late teens.

[@philadams9254]

Vegeta was obsessed with wishing for eternal life, but he got to Earth after being wished back and seemed to lose all interest. He even flew away in the new ship when they were wishing the other guys back. Weird.

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, how very interesting, I didn’t know some these, I really appreciate that you pointed them out, It seems like inconsistency is just a thing with Dragon Ball.
