Have Bills tell them that if they revive another one of their friends he will destroy the earth.

Yeah that would be cool seeing their reactions.
I mean they all have to be like Raditz or Vegeta saiyan saga level so insanely weak.

Maybe they didn't feel like it was worth the money or effort, or maybe they just wanted to wait and release it on DVD and Blu-ray
Kind of off topic, but Kanzenshuu has a new translation for an old (1995) Toriyama interview from a fucking Playboy magazine.

It's Dragon Ball.
Even if it's just a repackaged 20 year old show, it would get eyeballs.
We said that about this week, though. Although yeah. This week's arguably the last chance they have.
EDIT: Oh, you meant that as in "That's what they're planning" and not "That's what I think they should do." My bad!

and so we wait
Death has always been more of a nuisance than anything else in Dragon Ball though. Even permanently dead character like Grandpa Gohan can show up through some means.

I'm at the end of Dragonball and would love to see a MR. Satan saga that takes place after Goku wins the 23rd Martial Arts tournament. We know Mr. Satan wins the 24th and 25th during the time of Frieza and the Androids. Would b cool to see his rise and a tourney without the gang.
Speaking of Grandpa Gohan, does anybody think Goku just forgot about him in DBZ? Like he doesn't even try to meet up with his grandpa the 2x he died in the series.

I would say Toriyama forgot about him, but honestly Goku had his closure with him back in DB

Well, Goku didn't visit Bulma and Vegeta in 5 years at the end of series.
That said, if Goku visited Grandpa Gohan it could easily have been offscreen with no mention necessary.
I wouldn't say so. It is only when seeing Oozaru Vegeta that Goku realizes that he is the one who killed his Grandpa. He sort of apologizes to him mentally during that episode.

This is all kinds of wrong.
This is all kinds of wrong.
Taking out the Dragon Balls for good is a horrible idea. What does it matter if someone, or whole worlds, can be brought back with them to the threat? Goku and co. still has to defeat the threat to get to that goal, obviously. DB is a whimsical fantasy franchise.
The original near 300 episode show is plagued by "filler." Not all of this filler is bad per say, at least not to me, but a lot of it is just kind of junk thrown in to fill the void while the anime caught up to the managa. It's notorious for having things drawn out to an unintentionally comedic degree (such as the infamous, "This planet will explode in 5 minutes" that is followed by a fight that lasts 30 episodes or whatever).
Kai basically cut out a good degree of the filler content for a more leaner, plot-focused and manga faithful adaptation.

I've never seen Kai but I'm currently rewatching DBZ. I like how lighthearted some of the filler is.

The Goku/Majin Vegeta fight was technically filler and that fight was fantastic
Also, Majin Vegeta quotes were top tier

I don't get why everyone has a hard-on for that fight. It's just a bunch of random-ass attacks with no real narrative flow beyond Vegeta bitching about how inadequate he is. Their Saiyan Saga battle was literally a million times better.
Agreed. The fight in the saiyan saga was great. The lowly saiyan daring to stand up against the elite saiyan(and the prince), and trashing them was great. The majin fight didn't have much going for it. imo

Yeah, Goku vs Majin Vegeta wasn't a fantastic fight, but it has its moments. Goku being restrained by those ring things was cool. It was mostly a good time to develop Vegeta's character some more, which was pretty well done IMO.

Majin Vegeta vs Goku was a good, well animated fight between two equally powerful opponents(well Goku still had SS3 but you know what I mean) which is very rare in DBZ.
The actual fight wasnt nearly as iconic as the Saiyan saga battle but the lead up and conclusion of Majin Vegeta was some of the best stuff in the series.

Dragon Ball Z is not the same without the filler.but i guess Kai is a good adaption

What? Dragon Ball is a manga first and foremost. Fuck filler.
There was some good filler. Like GOAT filler goku learning how to drive.
It worst with the filler , goku vs Frieza shouldn't be 20 episodes/.
This is literally the only episode people refer to when defending the existence of filler in DBZ. The only one.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping they'd make a weird exception for this episode alone in Kai.

Otherworld tournament is terrible, Pikkon's punk ass one shotting Cell, fuck that
It's alright if you turn off your brain. If you think about the fact that there are heroes that have been potentially training for thousands upon thousands of years goku really shouldn't have been able to compete very well.

I like filler that doesn't mess with the rules of the universe.
DB is more than a manga. And moving forward, the anime is going to be ever so more important.
Eh, nature of the show. Once the strongest, biggest threat gets his ass kicked by the next in line. The Other World Tournament added a pretty cool aspect to the lore of the show with fleshing what people do in their afterlife in the DB universe. I wouldn't call it a great arc, but overall, enjoyable and adds to mythology in a neat way.

If they were gonna make Pikkon that damn strong they should've kept him that damn strong, he should've embarrassed the shit out of Goku in their fight.
Frieza got murked by Trunks but at least he was a major character and one of the catalysts of the entire saga, Pikkon's a damn nobody and they ruined Cell for no reason.

Eh, nature of the show, like I said. I honestly don't see the big deal. Old guy jobs to new guy, rinse and repeat, whether filler or canon.

I do see the big deal when dumb things happen for no reason.
Frieza got ended by Trunks to establish there's another super saiyan on the level of Goku, it confirmed that Super Saiyan isn't some once every thousand year thing and it's possible for others to do it, and it quickly established the threat of the androids if someone who can easily kill Frieza can't beat them.
Vegeta got wrecked by Zarbon to establish that Frieza's top soldiers aint nothing to mess with(serves to better hype up the Ginyu Force), it led to showing off the power of the zenkai that would be used later on. If Vegeta can't beat Frieza's guys then the man himself must be a monster and it holds true.
Now lets look at some of the fillers.
The Ginyus get beat by Tien and Yamcha because.............????? How does that make any sense on a power level standpoint????? What does it do besides further embarass your old villains, it certainly does nothing for the dead heroes as they continue to do jack shit.
Pikkon beats Cell presumably to establish how strong the dead warriors are and show that Goku still has a ways to go. But then in their first fight he battles evenly with Goku? They "tie" and he's never heard from again? What was the point? Terrible.
So far, I sometimes feel like Kai is great, but rushed. I don't mean fillers that don't really develop the characters, but it was weird to see Gohan scared, turn into Oozaru, Piccolo destroys the moon and his tail and, on the next episode, he is the most confident kid with a mysterious sword.
On the Boo arc, Videl learns that Gohan is the Great Saiyaman on the second episode! I mean, we don't need to see Gohan dating in a cringeworthy way, but it felt really rushed.
And those were just some of them. Some of the cut content was really cool, but oh well.

I really, really want this. Was looking for it all last weekend at an anime convention. The one figure I need in my life.
And I'm currently too broke to buy it.
