Yeah. I mean in a year he went from being one shot by Raditz to taking out most of the saibamen in one attack. His feats are often insanely impressive in the context of 1 or 2 arcs ago, but he can never really compete with the present threats. Honestly when you consider how many bullshit advantages Saiyans have even without factoring in super forms, it's kind of ridiculous that Krillin kept up with Goku for as long as he did.

[@ap7635]

@@cpob2013 it's debatable but I'd say yeah. Tien's status as a human is also debatable. He's definitely got some nonhuman ancestry even if it's distant. Tien's stronger than krillin in his first appearance but he's also like 20 whereas krillin is 16. So that doesn't really imply that tien is more talented. Tien's use of the kikoho against Cell was pretty badass but other than that krillin generally outperforms him from the Saiyan arc to the tournament of power. You'd expect Tien to be definitively stronger after krillin sort of retired from martial arts training for a while, but it doesn't seem like he is. Maybe Tien was more focused on teaching and running a dojo than training himself during that time. Or maybe training without an impending threat or a gravity amplifier or a divine teacher isn't really worth much in the dragon ball universe.

That clip, if memory serves, was almost exactly six minutes. I want to say 6:02, but don't quote me on that.

And I watch it all the way to the End of Z, and then go back to watch it through the Saiyan Saga with the Funimation Dub as I grew up with that being Dragon Ball Z Uncut, and then (not very popular opinion) I watch Dragon Ball GT, because I actually liked Dragon Ball GT, not a fan of Super though, just how I am no diss on anyone who does, just the animation, and the way Goku went from being a bumpkin to a total dipshit turned me off, I generally watch DBZ Saiyan Saga-Ginyu Saga in Ocean Dub, Ginyu Saga-Cell Games Saga in Funimation Dub, Watch Dragon Ball & Otherworld Saga-Kid Buu Saga in Funimation Dub, Watch DBZ Saiyan Saga-Kid Buu Saga Funimation Dub, & Finally DBGT.

The tail growing back part is actually explained. As a child they will grow back but after maturity if they lose their tail it is permanent.

[@leannestewart7215]

The reason why Vegeta’s tail never grew back was because of his strength

[@eagleclaw006]

Guru yelling "choke on them!" as he's being torn apart is from Day of the Dead (1985). When the general is being ripped in half by zombies and they're dragging his legs off he's yelling "choke on them" as he watches his bloody lower half get dragged off.

Seeing as goku has saved the earth/universe on multiple occasions I feel like he’s earned it 🤷‍♂️

[@jdogzerosilverblade299]

@@mookiestewart3776 nah. freeza only came to earth because goku is an idiot and chose not to kill him and the androids were made to kill him. so him being the reason the threats happened in the first place cancels out any privliages he should get. though the androdis were unintentional as he was a kid so I don't blame him. but doesn't change the fact they were made because of him.

[@absolplayz8773]

​@jdogzerosilverblade299 If it's super goku than yeah I see your point. But Z goku is not an idiot by any standards nor is he as bad as he is made out to be. He's not the reason big threats exist on earth. The opponents were already threats to begin with, goku just showed up and kicked their asses. But because of goku's good nature sometimes it comes back to bite him. He did try to kill frieza on namek. Frieza just survived unbeknownst to goku. And if trunks hadn't shown up, goku would have killed frieza there. Frieza was already a threat to the universe. The only reason it has anything to do with goku is due to the circumstances. And that was caused by vegeta and nappa. If you want to look at it. Frieza coming to earth was the fault of vegeta since he's the catalyst that sent everyone to namek. The red ribbon thing is a bit of a hard topic since android were already made before goku showed up (android 8 being a prime example) not only that but if goku hadn't taken down the red ribbon they would have taken over the world (given pilaf hadn't gotten his wish). 17 and 18 were just byproducts of goku already stopping a world threat that he thought was fully gone.

Most of the time the transformations didnt take multiple episodes, when people talk about the transformations taking forever, they are thinking of a specific one, where goku is specifically trying to transform slower so that he can buy time.

The incident you're thinking of when Goku's VA passed out was during a kamehameha in Dragon Ball GT. Sean said that he miscalculated how much air he needed an fell out of his seat. EDIT: If I remember correctly, it was due to the difference in pitch required to play super saiyan 4 requiring more air than Goku's usual voice.

Dudes, don't diss Masako Nozawa like that (Heck, the voice of Goku & Gohan in DBZA even uses her name as his username, on top of trying to emulate her voice.) While i do prefer Sean Schemmel & Peter Kelamis as Goku, Masako Nozawa's Goku is iconic for a good reason

I wouldn't say Krillin is "important", no more than the other side characters. But the respect comes from the fact that he is still just a human and despite that he is always there for his friends. He acts like a b*tch, but he is actually pretty brave.

[@ieatpotatosalad535]

Vegetas tail was suppose to grow back a second time. Gokus and Gohans both grew back twice and then after the second time they didn’t grow again. There wasn’t a special reason why they didn’t grow back just didn’t after the second tail grew

[@Tytus_Albas]

Actually it was explained in the game Kakarot which a lot of it is considered cannon. At least the lore dropped. It turns out that if the saiyan becomes powerful enough that the Oozaru transformation is weaker than the saiyan is base, the tail doesn't seem to grow back. With Trunks and Goten they were born already stronger than the great ape form, so they didn't grow one ever. It's an interesting way they got past that, and from an adaptation/evolution standpoint it makes sense. I'm 75% sure Akira Toriyama gave his thumbs up to the lore addition.

[@ieatpotatosalad535]

@@Tytus_Albas that doesn’t make sense considering the great ape form is a multiplayer meaning it’s your base power x10 and that explanation would work (minus that plot hole) if brolys berserk wasn’t a thing either. How can you still access the power if by your definition you’re still leagues ahead of it. That doesn’t make any sense. I don’t consider any video game to be canon especially when they literally change shit that was in the manga; in terms of dialogue differences and when something SHOULD take place and doesn’t.

[@absolplayz8773]

​@@ieatpotatosalad535 I know for goku it was the result of kami putting a spell on it after removing it. For gohan he's a hybrid so maybe that has something to do with it. Vegeta I assume the reasoning he means is that if you go great ape and lose your tail and then receive a zenkai then your body adapts and feels that it no longer needs the tail. And with gotten and trunks it's because their fathers didn't have tails and had FAR outgrown the need for it in terms of their biology. Broly is hard to decern but from what I can understand is broly uses the great ape "form" like a technique. Think of it like the reverse of ultra instinct with goku. Instead of having the need to transform into a giant monkey he just uses the power in his base as a boost. Like his own version of kaioken if you will. It's not out of the land of possibility considering A: broly is the legendary super saiayn. And B: we've seen "forms" like that before like master roshi's buff form. But if thst still doesn't explain the plot holes. Chalk it up to Akira toriyama (rest his soul) kept forgetting to add saiyan tails to his saiyans and forget his own rules and just decided to scrap it general.
