Line 182:
* Also Chichi hates SSJ form, I doubt she'd let Goku do it like that. Unless he forced her. Which is a whole new issue.
** Full tank of [[Fetish Fuel]], to go please.
* Bra also doesn't seem to be able to turn into SSJ easily -- oreasily—or at least has far too little interest in fighting to even try. Which might lend credibility to this theory.
* Also, it is stated that Goten was conceived before the Cell Games, and Goku was in SSJ pretty much permanently at the time...
* To me, it just looks like half-breed Saiyans have an easier time turning Super Saiyan, but the results are less spectacular. And in Super Saiyan form, Goku probably couldn't hold a turkey without roasting it, so just forget about makin' love.
Line 201:
== Dr. Briefs collected all the Dragon Balls sometime in the past. ==
Think about it: in order to create the Dragon Radar, he must have had contact with them before, right? Plus his inventions do things that blatently defy the laws of physics. This could be the result of a wish granted by the Dragon.
* Bulma found a dragon ball in her basement to make the radar -- presumablyradar—presumably someone just randomly picked it up or bought it as a fancy jewel. No wishes had previously been granted in 100 years, I think the manga says this.
 
== Dr. Briefs is some 753 years old. ==
Line 263:
** She doesn't just call him brother, she repeatedly teases him for being a man - liking cars, never wanting to ask directions, etc.
*** That would be pretty ruthlessly funny if he had been made into one against his will, no?
* Remember, it was only in the anime that #17 has a male voice. Maybe in the manga Toriyama intended for them to sound the same--aftersame—after all, they look exactly the same except for the hair. And #17's bandanna could be covering up some cleavage...
* [[Unfortunate Implications|Oh my god, you mean there's a strong guy in ]]''[[Dragon Ball]]''[[Unfortunate Implications| who doesn't have 24-inch pythons unless he gets fused with his clone from hell in an ]][[Dragon Ball GT|alternate continuation]][[Unfortunate Implications|? EGADS!]]
 
== The "heart virus" Goku dies of in the alternate future is a biological weapon made by the aliens who taught him the teleportation move. ==
Line 309:
 
== Women ''can'' become Super Saiyan, but... ==
It takes a different trigger to do so. Men are transformed by rage (Goten might be the exception, as Vegeta probably irritated Trunks enough to SSJ him on purpose), but Pan (if GT is to be taken in consideration) doesn't seem to transform into one, even when absurdly enraged. Perhaps, their trigger is an emotion that transforms women into monsters, like rage does with men. [[Woman Scorned|Scorn]], [[:Category:Yandere (disambiguation)|deception]], and [[Stepford Smiler|absolute despair]] are good options to take in consideration.
* This is anime. Just insult her cooking or something and that'll do it.
** What if she doesn't like to cook, like Pan? Calling her fat might be the replacement? (it'd work for Bra, I'm pretty sure)
Line 442:
But in Akira Toriyama's defense its an interesting idea to try to come up with a "Next Generation" a bit more gradually. Cause often enough when a franchise tries to use that idea we get a bunch of new characters that come out of nowhere, in which we might not even be certain if we are in the same continuity anymore. (But its generally due to the story having a time skip when that happens though how much of a time skip can often vary.) The story would often like to claim that these characters would have any connection to any previously established character, even though the story never actually mentioned their existence until now. Akira tried to avert this by getting Gohan to one day take over his father's role gradually. But sadly DBZ is probably quite the example on how that kind of idea can go wrong. So in other words Akira might have succeeded in truly getting Gohan to truly take over his father's position as Earth's Main Defender if he did it right from the start.
* [[Word of God]] says, mostly, yeah. [[Executive Meddling]] and negative fan reaction (the Japanese really REALLY like Goku) forced him to keep bringing Goku back time and time again.
* In support of this is the fact that while Goku in DB was a legitimate [[Kid Hero]] who saved the world many times over, adult Goku in DBZ was actually not much of a big hero (and even in some ways a subversion of the hero concept). Consider: he didn't save the world from Raditz alone (enter Piccolo), he didn't save the world from Vegeta and Nappa alone (enter Vegeta's own [[Bad Boss|Bad Bossness]]ness, Gohan, Krillin, and Yajirobe), he didn't save Namek from Freeza (no one did), he actually endangered Earth by provoking Freeza, and he didn't protect Earth from Freeza afterwards (Mirai Trunks did), he didn't save the world from the Androids (turned out it didn't need to be done, or maybe ''Krillin'' did by showing enough compassion to No.18 to prevent them from going evil), he didn't save the world from Cell (unless guiding Gohan to it counts), he had a chance to save the world from Fat Buu and didn't do it (Mr. Satan did by befriending Buu), his plan to save the world from Super Buu by teaching fusion to Goten and Trunks failed miserably (failed to take into account that the kids weren't emotionally mature enough to pull it off), and his contribution to stopping Kid Buu was as part of a team effort (along with Mr. Satan, Vegeta, and ''the entire population of the earth'').
** Fascinating, I'd never thought of it that way before. So the only time he truly saved the world all by himself was when he beat Piccolo Daimaou all those years ago. All part of the Shonen Jump mantra of "friendship and effort" or whatever, I guess.
 
Line 555:
* Saiyans [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|transform]] into giant monkeys, while Nameks have the [[Sizeshifter|ability to grow]] [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|giant]].
 
* Saiyans are [[Big Eater|Big Eaters]]s while Namekians don't need to eat
 
== The Black-Star Dragon Balls can grant literally any wish, & more than once ==
Line 658:
 
== Chi-Chi is jealous, envious and afraid of her family ==
She has to know that any of them can wipe the floor with her. Yes, go Big Head Yell, throw objects, fume and rage--coolrage—cool. They obey her because they love her; They fear her temper because of that love, it makes them upset to see her upset. She has them by the heartstrings, but in no other way. Her way of handling or mishandling them goes back to the final tournament of the original DB. She shows up, wants to surprise the boy she loves, figures to give him a good fight at worst, which is fair. Goku was always strong, but he wasn't making super-geometric leaps when they were kids. But she shows up, and not only does he not recognize her, he brushes aside her combat challenge, one she has prepared for likely for years, under the tutelage of a great fighter, her own father. From the start she realizes even the hint of physical control of any sort is out for her men, and must therefore keep herself tsundere to handle it all.
* Very likely; from a female perspective I have to say thats often how it works in real life. I can honestly say every single one of my boyfriends has been stronger and larger than me; but a loud voice and a little love goes a long way.
* Alternatively, her family did their best to keep her happy to keep the food coming. She is known for her fantastic cooking abilities and saiyans (and half-saiyans) being what they are, consume A LOT of food. If Chi Chi is not kept happy, the food may stop coming which would be a fate worse than death.
