I loved boxed that did this!
I remember the .hack games did that and it was so exciting.
No, it's pretty quick to form, but it has to be thrown and not "shot" like the beam-spammers. So it's slightly slower.
Really, Krillin should have been able to take out a lot of villains but he suffered from comic sidekick syndrome.
At least he's the single most powerful being in the entire universe in GT.

He's also the best human.
Suck it Tienshinhan fans, he's the best bald guy

Toriyama Interview
Speaking of women who fight, there is No. 18.
Toriyama:
Ah, that’s right. No. 18 becomes Kuririn’s wife in the end.
Nozawa:
Ah, I was surprised at that, too! All the voice actors wondered, “Why did she choose Kuririn?” (laughs)
Toriyama:
Kuririn was originally supposed to be just a minor role, so to have him become Goku’s best friend in the blink of an eye…
Koyama:
Well, he is the strongest Earthling male.
Toriyama:
You’re right, he is the strongest among the Earthlings. But in spite of that, he tends to end up in a bad way, so I thought, “once in a while, I have to let him be happy,” and had him get married. (laughs)
DUN DUN DUN!

Was there ever any doubt?
Well, you just have to wonder at what point in the series Krillin is regarded as stronger than Tien. I reckon he's probably strongest up till he marries 18 and retires from fighting at the end of the Cell saga, after which Tien keeps training (superfluously as he can't compare to any saiyan/namekian) up till the end of the show.

Tien is stronger. He has always been stronger and I can't see Krillin doing shit to Cell like Tien was able to do.

Tien has always been stonger. Only time krill in surpassed him was the power up he got from guru.
Did Tien body berter and jeice in the manga?

Nah, the humans fighting the dead Ginyu members was animation only.

I'm pretty sure Krillin can solar flare everyone too and do blindside discs.
Destructo Disc didn't even tickle Perfect Cell.
F-F-FILLER!
B-B-But it was in Kai!

I just realized that the proficient solar flare users are bald
Also if it was Yamcha or Tienshinhan who replaced Krillin during their Namek Dragon Ball search arc, how would it fare?

Goku does solar flare in the original dragon ball.

He uses it twice actually once against tien and another time against monkey vegeta.

Gat Damn. That was an awesome trailer. I kind of want it now. FUCK. I just bought the Dragon Boxes too.

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."
Because the one thing you really have to region lock is promotional material, Funi.
Basically, its a trailer for the Rock the Disc set.
As nostalgic as it is, I don't really want to spend $100 on episodes I own but with different audio.
Plus, I do have their Movie Dubs already, so its not like I'm completely missing out.

Yeah, I've no interest in buying it either (more than happy with my Dragon Boxes) just wanted to see the trailer. Somebody else will upload it sooner or later, I imagine.
I gave my brother our old Dead Zone DVD when I got the double packs so that's always there, and I still have some old Freeza saga tapes kicking around if I want to nostalgia a little. I'd actually probably buy a cheap triple pack of the original dubs of the first three movies.

Same, I'm happy with the Dragon Boxes.
Dead Zone and World's Strongest are among my favs, and I have the Ocean Dub for it. I don't really care for Tree of Might, so I don't care what version of that I get.
Oh yeah, the filler had him beating up on Olibu at the Grand Kai's place when Buu showed up, right? The same guy that exchanged blows with Pikkon, who one shotted cell. LOL
Don't forget in the anime Yamcha and Kuririn were Plan B if Goku and Vegeta lost to Majin Buu. Filler Yamcha is top tier.

So watching DBZ Abridged's new ep...
...Senzu beans can recover flesh and organs too?
...Senzu beans can recover flesh and organs too?
Dende healed worse.
Filler is all contradictory stuff anyways.
But you could argue that Yamcha and Krillin were able to train way better in the afterlife than when alive.
.... it was like 6 hours after they died.
Gohan in one year of training became stronger than Goku did in the span of birth-Raditz arc, basically around of 20 years.
Even without filler, DBZ always had made previous arcs look like a joke in terms of feats.
Time works differently when you're dead.

Here we go again ...
FUNimations high definition, remastered Blu-ray release of the Dragon Ball Z TV series lasted all of two volumes and about six months between original announcement and a release hiatus/suspension.
The company has mostly avoided talking about continuing the series in such a format since then, falling back on promoting the (cropped/widescreen) orange brick season sets originally released from 2007-2009 after completing the Dragon Box run and working on the refreshed Dragon Ball Kai TV series.
Today, FUNimation launched a new survey asking fans about their purchase history with the franchise and continuing with a new Blu-ray release, which would tentatively span nine volumes (similar to the DVD bricks) and cost $44.98.
Perhaps most interestingly, the company is specifically asking about aspect ratio preferences:
While the orange brick sets were cropped to 16:9 removing approximately 20% of the original picture, FUNimations Level Blu-ray sets remained in their original 4:3 aspect ratio. FUNimation also released Dragon Ball Kai on both Blu-ray and DVD in its original 4:3 production aspect ratio.
FUNimations question about which year you started watching the series starts with 1996, the year that FUNimation themselves began airing their dub of Dragon Ball Z in syndication.
Visitors of Kanzenshuu that select a 16:9 preferred viewing option for a 4:3 original production will be considered non-canonical readers and will promptly be shot out of a cannon.
I'm gonna vote 16:9 just to troll, then hug my Dragon Box's.
What? I'll stick with my dragon boxes. I think I'll go for the Kai blurays for the dub though.
I guess it's nice to have the option, but it still seems like overkill.

Would the "human life" parts be the same?
You really think anyone would care if they weren't there?
So me and my fiancee just finished watching all of Dragonball. She had never seen it before so we started from the beginning and went all the way though to GT.
I just don't get the GT hate, I never watched it after Z because I kept hearing how its the most horrible thing ever, but you know what its not that bad. Is it as good as DB and DBZ, no, but I enjoyed it. Feel stupid for avoiding it all those years.

I like it all the way until Piccolo's death episode. My main problem with the Super 17 and Shadow Dragons arc is that its mostly just battles, and the battles aren't as interesting as most of it is just boring KI Spam.
