I think Porunga came back after all the dead people on Namek where revived and the last wish to teleport everybody offa Namek sans Frieza and Goku.This is correct. Saichorou's death was hastened from the distress caused by Freeza's arrival, so Shenron was able to resurrect him for the small amount of time his natural life would have lasted. So Porunga reappeared as well.

After the ordeal with Freeza the new Namek Elder had Porunga changed so tons of people could be brought back to life.
Which further proves the fact that Toriyama makes shit up as he goes on rather than think them through for it to all make sense:looney:
I've been wondering about something; how popular was Gohan when compared to Goku? I've always thought that Goku's role in DBZ should've ended by the Freeza/Frieza saga and that DBZ would continue with Gohan as the main character. This would've resulted in numerous CHARActer developments for him as well as making the whole Android fight a tad bit interesting story-line wise.

He originally intended to leave everyone dead and finish out the series with the end of both Freeza and Goku. He had to come up with all the technicalities of the Dragon Balls in order to bring everyone back, since the publisher wanted to continue the series.

Was it their idea to make Gohan a huge orange pants wearing bitch too? He was such a bad ass and look awesome at the end of the Cell games, then they went to the Great Saiyaman nonsense that ate (dragon) balls for free.

Not just the publishers, the fans also wanted more and more. Also, they DEFINITELY wanted Goku to stay the main character, since they've grown so attached.

*raises his hand*...yeah...>(...that dvd was such ass..and the amount of space that was wasted to make it pissed me off too...they didn't have either of the goku vs. vegeta fights in there which in my opinion is complete blasphemy. The fights that they did show cased they showed either a funny section of it or something that was relatively insignificant. The funny thing is that supposedly the fans picked those fights out....
When I heard they were releasing a special DVD with the best fights of DBZ, I know it was gonna suck hard. They did something similar to this with one of the Budokai releases on the PS2. Fan reaction said the DVD blew massive donkey penis.

Considering that "Ball" and "Jewel" are the same word in Japanese, is the title really "supposed" to translate into "Dragon Ball" or was it supposed to be "Dragon Jewel"? "Dragon Jewel" seems like it makes more sense, but then "Dragon Ball" goes right along with the spherical shape and the amount of gentalia jokes in the original series.
So...?

how does the word BO O RU translate to jewel?
So it's actually just Katakana in Japanese? I've never seen the Japanese title, which is why I asked (since I can still read Katakana and Hiragana at least after all these years).
That's all I was asking since the Japanese word for "ball" (one of them at least) happens to be the same thing for "jewel" (in Kanji).
Thank you.
Why was that so difficult?

'Massive donkey penis' probably doesn't even begin to describe how disappointed I was in the dvd...the moment i noticed that it didn't have either of the goku vs vegeta fights in it it had already reached that point. -_-

"Rock The Dragon" was unique in that it reminded me (and others) of those catchy themes from U.S. toons from the 80's and 90's.
However, I wish this style was the first and only time it was used in an anime dub.

First off, I hope you get hit with a flaming truck full of Herpes for even daring to talk shit about HEAD CHA-LA. Hironobu Kageyama is waaaaaaaaaay better than Rock the Dragon.
That being said, I do miss the theme. I actually happened upon an original dub Season 1 boxset at a local Suncoast, but in true Suncoast fashion, it's way too expensive (OVER 9000!!! Well... over $45 anyway...).
Also, it's people like you that are the reason Bruce Falconer was able to shit all over DBZ. Fuck you.

I prefer dubs too, but not when they replace the BGM by throwing a guitar and a synth in a blender and hitting "Frappe".
There are at least two themes I like though: Captain Ginyu's theme and Vegeta going SSJ.

The American version is all loud, all the time. There's never any subtlety to it whatsoever. It's inorganic. It's not dynamic. It's just awful.
The macho voice acting and the rewritten dialogue are primarily responsible for turning DBZ into a brain dead pro-wrestling cartoon, but the rescored music is a huge factor as well. American DBZ is a noisy and infantile shell of the real deal.

I don't think the problem that you're describing is that the music is boring per se, but rather there is an actual lack of music. The dub simply had no such thing and went on and on with mostly horrible music that would often not mesh as well with the scene at hand. The original just didn't always have music. I thought this was most effective during those drawn out stare-downs. The dub would not only have mood killing music, but would also have these cheesy lines added in for whatever horrible reason.
Either way, I can see where you're getting at.
A good dub is better than a good sub in some cases, but most of the music in the Cartoon Network redub of DBZ was just bad.
It's already been covered, but there is a value to dramatic silence, to what's called a pregnant pause. Though to be fair, this is much more clear when there is actually a good performance going on.

The "remastering" process involves cropping the 4:3 picture and zooming in for "widescreen" and messing with the colors. Nothing to do with the animation so don't count on it.

even dbz acknowledges that, because the asians turn into white guys when they power up. white is just up on the evolutionary chain.

UM HELLO, THAT WOULD BE A PRETTY GOOD TIME TO POWER UP DUMBASS! when goku ss3 fought buu, and vegeta stepped in, HE STAYED NORMAL, and said: "ITS NO USE, IM NO MATCH"
well of course not, he didnt even power up!
and yet when he did, kid buu still trashed him? yet when goku was super saiyan 2, he was able to hold his own against kid buu. and goku and vegeta were evenly matched during their duel. yet when vegeta finally turns ss2 against kid buu, he gets his ass kicked.

Of course in any other anime. The Jap VAs win hands down.

I for one having seen the entire show over and over as a kid in the US dub, and watching the original audio track now for the first time, by far prefer the original. Maybe if goku maintained the same voice actor from Dragonball to DBZ, it would have been OK, but the DBZ actor completely changes his character.

Okay, I just watch DBZ cuz I like DBZ nothin more or less. I don't know what you're talking about. Inform me.
EDIT: I have a question(warning:it may be pretty stupid)
According to power levels, Frieza's 1st form had a max power lvl of 500,000 whereas Goku after he healed had a max power level of 300,000. Yet he was able to injure Frieza(4th form). Even Piccolo was able to fight Frieza's 2nd form when his power lvl was no where near Frieza's. So how the hell did Frieza ever have a hard time with any of them? he coulda just went max on 1st form and beaten them all. Is it because Frieza despite transfroming, he never actually powered up to increase his power lvls(like Goku/Vegeta/Trunks vs Cell)? Just to access a higher lvl of power/get a power boost from the next form?

america >>>>>>>>>>>> japan in every conceivable way its not even funny
white >>>>>>>>>>>>>> asian
even dbz acknowledges that, because the asians turn into white guys when they power up. white is just up on the evolutionary chain.
I didn't know Goku was Asian. Nor did I know he magically turned into a Caucasian either. He's a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta. Apparently you've never even seen the show, or know very little about it.
You assume anime characters are white because they have blonde hair or blue eyes. Have you seen someone who has the same hairstyle and same eye-shape as Goku? No, I didn't think so.
To say an anime character is of a certain race is nothing but stupid, unless specified. They aren't real. All their colorful hair and what not are not real. If Goku is Asian, and then turns Caucasian, wtf is Bulma? She has teal colored hair. I guess any anime show should never have a blonde/yellow/gold hair colored character if he/she does not want to be considered white.
If you are comparing anime characters to real life, then we'll just say, he bleached his hair, spiked it up, and bought green contacts.
You are an idiot.

WHATS NEXT, YOURE GOING TO TRY AND CORRECT ME WHEN I SAY "KRILLIN" BY SAYING, "NO I AM AN OTAKU ANIME FAGGOT, HIS NAME IS KURIRIN! LOOK AT ME! I'M SO COOL! I TAKE ANIME HELLA SERIOUSLY! I GET OFFENDED WHEN SOMEONE SAYS GOKU IS ASIAN AND TURNS INTO A SUPER ARYAN. I TAKE ANIME SERIOUSLY BECAUSE I HAVE A SAD EMPTY SHELL OF A LIFE!"
anyway, toriyama is clearly saying that white people are superior and better than asians. i guess if youre an uptight otaku you'd get offended, because you worship japan.
ok so back on topic: another thing that irked me about the series. vegeta had the power to blow up a planet at the start of the series. since then, the people theyve fought have been way more powerful. often times fireballs get deflected or just plain miss and end up hitting the planet. the planet does not blow up. yet the people shooting these fireballs are far more powerful than vegeta was when he blew up arlia.
that'd probably be a problem if i took anime hella seriously, like this Shinkuu Tatsumaki otaku. but instead it gives me a chuckle.

where did you get these power lvls from :wtf:
frieza's 1st form had like 100k something small like that. frieza second form had 1mil thats 10 times his original power thats why vegeta thought he was bluffing. form 3 made it into the 2mil+ and the fourth form had 4 to 5 mil
goku when he was revived had just under 4 mill

Hell yea Tien was the strongets human. Think about it:
In DragonBall timeline (not DBZ, but Dragonball) who was always the stongest out of the two? Tien!!
When the Z-team started fighting Nappa and Vegeta, Krillin said in one of the episodes that Piccolo and Tien were the strongest ones. And Tien was putting up a good fight, where as Krillin just avoided fighting the toughers peepz.
While Krillin was getting his "unlocked Potential" from elder namek, Tien was training with King Kai. Im not saying unlocked potential isnt good, but Tien was recieving the same training as Goku did.
Could Krillin take on any of the Ginyu Force? Hell no!! But Tien killed some when they went to King Kai's planet.
Could Krillin have held Imperfect Cell down as long as Tien did, without getting his ass KILLED? NO!! Krillen dosnt have the strengh or the balls to do that!
Does Krillin have the strengh or the balls to attack Majon Buu? No. But Tien did!!
Tien = Strongest human in world!!!!!!!!!

After watching this great anime for so long, I've been thinking about something for a minute. Now, the video that you just posted stated Frieza's power level being over one million in his first transformed state (which is true), but when Goku fought Frieza (who was in his final form), Frieza told him that he was only using one percent of his power. If Frieza's true power level is twelve million like it's been stated many times over, then that means he didn't increased his power at all from his first transformation since one percent of twelve million is one hundred and twenty thousand, and that doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Okay from an unbiased opinion
I think the best is
Future Trunks- he may not be as strong as Goku, my not be as agrressive as Vegeta
however, he plans things out before instantly attacking, very smart boy.
Goku- Truly the best fighter, only thing he tends to procrastinate alot and always forgiving.
Gohan- He is not a quitter, always ready to give it his all and build up
Tien- not as strong, but he he gets busy
Piccolo- Another one of the smartfighters
Vegeta-okay he's strong and aggressive..but he's a gullible fool
he needs to stop acting like his shit don't stink

In the dub frieza said the one percent line...but in japanese that wasnt the case.
Well i dont remember the exact amount but, in japanese frieza didnt say he was using only 1% but that he was holding back a vast amount of his power. he then powered up to 50%...

And Tien hurt buu a little wit dat tri-beam. Krillen didnt do shit. Whres's that Shinkuu Tatsumaki nigga? Maybe he can yell at yo ass for thinkin kurririn is stronger.Tenshinhan? Peaced out almost immediately against Nappa and Vegeta. Kuririn? Not only did he survive, but he was instrumental in winning the fight.
Kuririn? Fought valiantly on Namek while Tenshinhan languished in the afterlife. Kuririn even successfully duked it out with Freeza for a while in order to stall for time.
Buu Saga? Yamucha comes right out and says that Kuririn is the world's strongest human. Kuririn also goes hand to hand with Goten in the Tenkaichi Budoukai and matches him evenly. Tenshinhan didn't even compete, believing he was outclassed and choosing to remain in the wilderness with Chaozu. He showed up later on, just long enough to surprise Buu with a Kikoho and get taken out.
I have nothing against Tenshinhan, but his heyday was early in the series, before the sci-fi element began to marginalize the human characters. Kuririn was really the only one who could stick it out in the company of aliens and hybrids.
I always thought that Gohan would have been the best if chichi wasn't around and he hadn't gotten all settled down... Goten seems like Goku without the strength, so he fails...
i'd have to agree with bunnyhead... i always felt Vegeta was stronger than Goku without the fighting for everyone assist... f that, if goku didn't have any help, dbz wouldn't have gone past the saiyan saga...
THEN vegeta tore goku up during the beginning of the buu saga...
and since the half human+ half saiyan genetics makes you stronger than either pure saiyan or pure human, trunks would be the best... future trunks, since reg trunks kinda gets watered down by his playfulness with goten...
trunks needed all that trauma in the future to thug him up...
so, in sum, future trunks would have destroyed vegeta at their comparable ages, and 35 year old future trunks would have decimated 35 year old vegeta...
just my opinion

I could have understood if you said "King Cold" due to that horrid voice he got in the dub, but yeah, no.
And the Krillin part is obviously hatred considering he's only Z Fighter that married a woman for love rather than an attempt at power & vagina (Vegeta) or food (Goku).
Yeah, such a faggot.
Anyway, I believe that if everyone were the same power level, then Piccollo and Freiza would rape them all. Picollo is like a lesser Vegeta--this thankfully means he jobs less for the most part--who is smarter than Vegeta and can stretch AND regenerate.

4. I'll have to agree, I don't like the present Trunks as much he is spoiled
because Vegeta is alive to corrupt him.
Honestly I dun care if Trunks is gay
he's still the best DBZ fighter IMO
btw while we are on the subject of the Briefs family

and I don't hate Krillin ,I know he's married
but I just can't forgive him for selling them out like that, because of him alot of shit happened, Goku would never have died, there would never have been Cell games if he would have just killed the android! He could have wished her back after Cell was dead.

And I say this even though I generally think that purple is worse color than pink in most instances.
This, however, isn't one of them.
But, really, if he's born with such a stupid fucking hair color, why didn't he dye blue or blond? That would have made more sense, especially since no else in his family has stupid fucking pink hair.
and he can't help it if his mum gave him that stupid name.
He could just legally change his name or go by something else.

Actually, I wasn't talking about clothing.
I was saying that he is named after clothing is constantly in contact with one's penis. Hence his gayness.
I actually thought that Trunks's outfit made sense for the most part whenever we saw him. At it didn't look like that generic blue spandex thing his father opted out for later in the series.
Speaking of which, I don't see why you're blaming Krillin for letting the Android live when Trunk's father, Captain Fucking Jobber a.k.a. Vegeta, could have killed Cell before he absorbed her or destroyed 16.
At least Krillin's reason is predictably illogical, Vegeta was just being an asshat again and got his ass kicked for it...again.
You really think he would be allowed to learn or win something legitimate, but no....

Speaking of which, I don't see why you're blaming Krillin for letting the Android live when Trunk's father, Captain Fucking Jobber a.k.a. Vegeta, could have killed Cell before he absorbed her or destroyed 16.
At least Krillin's reason is predictably illogical, Vegeta was just being an asshat again and got his ass kicked for it...again.
You really think he would be allowed to learn or win something legitimate, but no....
Bullshit!
Atleast if Krillin would have pushed the button Vegeta's dumbass
would have no choice but to kill Cell.
Yeh Vegeta was in the wrong too, but everyone knows Vegeta is an asshole which should have been all the more reason to blow the bitch up!
and who is to say Vegeta would have killed him with one blow? atleast they would have been on the safe side if he would have just blew her up, and besides I guess he forgot about her trying to kill Goku, killing him as the others in the future and all the chaos her and her crazy brother caused, all he cared about was getting laid, it would have been better for him to blow her up because
where the hell was she going? Cell or probably even stupid Vegeta was gonna find her anyone and absorb her, all he had to do was blow her up and wish her back.
now back to Trunks, IMO his outfit was a lil ugly to me
but he rocked it and I was feelin the Capsule Corp jacket, they even sell Timberland Boots that look like his, I just wish they didnt keep giving him those melvin pants that reached his chin.
The thing about his name made me laugh though
and as for his hair
...it looks purplish to me

Butch? There was a Butch in DBZ?
The only "Butch" I know of with relation to anime is the one from Pokemon is only slightly less gay than James.
And, god, there's probably porn of Ten x Chaotsu.
Bullshit!
True. I should have said I found it weird that you seemed to solely blame Krillin for being the one to fuck up.
It was a stupid plan to begin with. They should just fucking sent Piccollo since he's the only that has any fucking sense most of the time.

I guess it is...most of the time anyway.
It's still a horrible color.

Vegeta and Goku(on SSJ2) are completely even. When Vegeta came back he said he knew Goku was holding back on him because Goku has SSJ3 and let Vegeta think he had a chance. This led to the whole Vegeta refusing help from Goku vs Gohan Buu.
nope. i commented on this earlier. its one of the 10000 inconsistencies in dbz.
if you watch ssj2 goku vs kid buu, goku lands some good hits in.
then when ssj2 vegeta fights kid buu, he only lands one good hit in, and then gets the shit kicked out of him.
but then when goku and vegeta were fighting earlier, they WERE evenly matched. so who knows. toriyama just made shit up as he went along, shitting on vegeta whenever he had the opportunity to.
tien fought majin buu so that guy is a baller. krillin was tough, but he transformed into a pussy as time went on, and his wife even says as much at the end of the series.
trunks has purple hair kthx.
that is all for now.
oh and still no one has explained to me why when powered up gohan fought majin buu he remained normal, even after buu abosrbed gotenks. WTF was that guy thinking? so stupid. just like krillin, he became a pussy as the series progressed, completely getting nerfed after cell saga.

Basically Elder Kai unlocked Gohan's power potential which made him somewhat surpass SS2 and made him powerful than Buu. Problem is once Buu absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo that made him more powerful than Gohan.

Possible Theories-
They couldn't get in contact with them. If we assume that the only ones who could do that was Bulma, then it would've been impossible for her to create a method of transfer to their new planet without the Androids sabotaging when it took off or during construction. Furthermore, this theory implies that Bulma KNOWS where their planet is; if she didn't then building the rocket was meaningless.

Tien, because if you compare him to a hman, he is ungodly.
Goku is a saiyan, so he's already gonna be strong as hell to begin with, but Tien worked his ass off to get that strong. Tien strongest in world no doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tien isnt human....
Frieza is the best fighter in the series...hands down.
He raped Kurrin, gohan, piccolo and vegeta at the same time! He was beatin the shit out of goku..but of course frieza had to lose. (hes the bad guy )
Hell, frieza even made Cell...if he didnt get friezas cells he wouldnt have been shit...think about how many times Cell used "death beam"
frieza is the oldest living enemy in the series so yeah.
Another thing that held Gohan back was that he couldn't train himself. Goku/Vegeta/Future Trunks can all train themselves. Hell Goku would have been much weaker than Vegeta w/out master training assist.

and he gained this power while concerntrating on training his son, he didnt fully train himself!!!!!

As for Goku gaining power when training Gohan it's simple. After Gohan turned SSJ didn't they fight each other?
Something I've been worrying about: If a Sayian trained at his base form and increased his power wouldn't that directly mean when he goes SSJ that power would be increased too. So is the reason that they train while in SSJ form is the same reason as running? To get used to it/better at it?

Worked for Chichi, who is an Azn womenz.
Also, there is thing such as "too big", but DBZ is obviously not aware of that.
So, yeah. It doesn't make any sense, outside of maybe the tiring effect...which wouldn't really matter since Gohan was shown to be well above Buu normally before that point anyway and going Aryan makes you expotentially stronger, so he would have killed Buu before any bullshit time limit came up.
So, in the end, as always, blame the Azn peoplez.

here is a better plan:
vegeta wishes for earth back
vegeta wishes trunks, goten, and gohan over to the sacred planet.
the five of them slaughter buu. its not even close. the end. in fact, the four of them could have jobbed to buu, while goku prepared the spirit bomb. hell, its much better than vegeta getting shit on during the final fight.

Out of that whole Ginyu Force Guldo was too weak. We never really got a good gauge on how strong Jeice and Burter was considering Goku wiped the floor with them.

After Vegeta ripped Fat Buu out of his system, he reverted back to Kid form (i.e, no restraints on his power).
Gohan/Gotenks were beaten by his prior forms, so I doubt they'd serve as more than a nuisance on the sacred planet.

no gotenks basically slaughtered buu in ss3 and was about to deliver the coup de grace, when their fusion wore off (thats when gohan arrived).
so what would happen is:
vegeta jobs to buu.
gotenks pwns buu with his super ghost kamikazes. leaves buu in super weakened state. about to finish buu off, when fusion wears off.
gohan jumps in with kamehaha, destroys buu.
buu attempts to regenerate.

i mean, it is completely inconsistent with the sexist overtones of dbz. i mean, all the women are weak and frail. even 18, an incredibly strong android, is helpless and rescued by her knight in shining army, krillin, a bald pussy who doesnt even have a 1/100000 of her power. then we get to videl, who ends up getting hideously beaten by spopovich. the women of dbz have been nothing but sex objects for master roshi to leer at and fondle. YET PAN CAN DEFEAT GOTEN? ITS LIKE TORIYAMA DID A COMPLETE 180 AT THE VERY END OF THE SERIES.
yet he makes no apologies for his blatant racism and homophobia. lets see here. tien and choazu, the two flaming homos of dbz, get humiliated by nappa. chaozu throws his life away for nothing. tien loses his arm, goes all out, and ends up scratching nappa. then we have satan and piccollo, the two black people of dbz, get continually shit on throughout the entire series. then we have the asian nerd of the series, yamcha, get embarassed time and time again. his is the story of most asian nerds: he gets beat up multiple times and then loses his gf to a muscular white guy with a larger penis: vegeta.
the message in dbz is clear: white, heterosexual, and male is too good. anything else fails.

And even then, that's not quite enough because once a while aliens with phallic body parts will come down from the heavens and just probe people to death for kicks.
Kthxby.

also, whereas gohan was trained by piccolo, a far superior fighter who pushed his limits, goten was trained by chi chi.
Goten isn't a very strong SSj tho...

yeah the whole unlocking potential thing is bollocks. clearly gohan still had more potential.
and speaking of which, how the hell did trunks and goten learn to turn super saiyan at so young an age? i know its just a plot device, but jesus. if i was vegeta i would have just killed myself. his life long dream of becoming a super saiyan, accomplished with such trivial ease by a bunch of kids. in fact come to think of it, he did kill himself.
Vegeta did make mention of that when Trunks turned Super Saiyan for the first time.
To paraphrase
"The legendary super saiyan form...Reduced to a Child's play thing!"
But since by the time Vegeta and Goku were both really powerful by the time they had kids(or more kids in Goku's case)the kids started out a lot more powerful than say,Gohan when he was a child.Those two didn't have to work nearly as hard as Gohan did to become powerful.As far as how they learned Super Saiyan,no clue.
To Trunks's defense he did train a lot with Vegeta(Who was pretty much the most powerful person around in Goku's absence),and he probably also trained with an older Gohan and Goten.Goten perhaps the same,as Gohan was probably right behind Vegeta or perhaps even more powerful.
In summary Trunks and Goten had the benefit of both being around insanely strong fighters with mastery of the Super Saiyan form from an early age.Gohan didn't exactly have all of those benefits.

Tien has a 3rd eye, Krillin doesn't have a nose, Chaozu looks freaky. It doesn't matter, they're all considered human or at least Earthling in the DB universe.
krillin sympathy fan boyism on my part :rofl:
wtf that doesnt make any sense
asians become stronger when they become white
why would they become weaker
that's like saying: girls would be more satisfied if your penis got smaller (which is what happens when saiyans stay in normal mode btw. turning super saiyan is like natural penis enlargement).

^no he would jobbed...
think about it, Vegeta got his ass kicked by Recomme who is what the second weakest?
Tien could beat Goldo but, i mean...he was weak as hell...

well heres what im not sure about. is kid buu stronger than majin buu?
maijn buu had absorbed fat buu, gohan, goten, trunks, AND piccolo. that's a FAT GAY GUY, AN ASIAN, TWO WHITE GUYS, PLUS A BLACK GUY.
racial diversity ftw.
whereas kid buu didn't have jack shit. there's no way he could take down vegeta, then gotenks, then gohan, in time to stop the spirit bomb.
kid buu's power isnt held back by the goodness in the kai he absorbed

^something else that bother me about gohan...didnt Guru unlock his potential in namek?
yet he still had more potential? wtf?
im sure guru mentioned him becoming more stronger in the future, think the unlock was to make the power boost more consciously possible
^^yea but..goten was a super sayain..at what six, eight yrs old? gtfo! someone with that much potential should be a god by age 13
i looked at is as trunks and goten not having to get angry to find their power like gohan had to
i really wish toriyama hadnt shit all over vegeta. it would have been nice if say after jobbing so badly, he finally turns ss3 in sheer anger.
i mean, what happened to "saiyans get stronger every time they are beaten within an inch of their life"?
vegeta was badly beaten by buu multiple times. that should have been more than enough to unleash level 3. just another inconsistency i guess.
saiyans need to recover after the beatings.....

^^that vid is with king kai's training...
if Tien never died against Nappa he wouldnt have recieved that training...Which means he wouldnt be able to beat the ginyu force.

Goten and Trunks (main time line) were both conceived after their fathers became Super Saiyajin. That may have something to do with it.
Vegeta's pride and jealousy hold him back. He's not fighting for the pure joy of it. That's why he will always be inferior to Goku.
Gohan could transform into a Super Saiyajin after having his full potential unlocked, but he would rip the Earth to pieces.
And Kuririn is still stronger than Tenshinhan.

yeah they get stronger by fighting but not as much as after they get hurt badly.
i think either vegeta or goku says this. the point im making anyway is the fact that the difference between ssj2 and ssj3 is just as great if not greater than the difference between ssj1 and ssj2

Reminded me of what an idiot Vegeta used to be.
He always wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed,but later on even if it was because of sheer stupidity,he always had a reason behind that stupidity(Mostly driven behind him wanting to become stronger).
However.
Vegeta going around on Planet Namek claiming to be a Super Saiyan when he wasn't even close yet,and didn'e even know what it looked WAS just stupidity.I guess at that level he was on Namek,he would have been considered legendary,but man that doesn't make him look any better

What's so ironic is that Vegeta's one of the most intelligent fighters in DBZ as it's been somewhat stated by both Piccolo and King Yama. I don't believe that he's stupid, but does silly things at times.

^yea vegeta is a genius fighter...its just hes never stronger than the ppl he fights. On the occasion he is stronger than his opponent he either, 1.) Kill them instantly or 2.) toy with them until they get some kind of transformation and rapes him...
