The ROCK THE DRAGON set is just the edited dub episodes.
So a SM DiC release can just be the dub edited episode. Not that I'd want that.

i wonder how well that even sold
Gotta disagree with you there, I find his whole character arc to be the best one in the entire series up until then.
He's a boy of peace, a reluctant fighter who'd rather talk things out. His dad knows that only he can actually make it to SSJ2 on time (ignoring the equally plausible idea that with another year in the time chamber Goku could have almost certainly gotten strong enough to do the deed himself, that's justthe truth and you know it speculation) so he pushes him into the role. Once that pressure is gone he goes back to his studies. His bit in the Buu arc is the only part of it I find really intriguing outside of the Mr. Satan comedy segments.

But his whole character arc in the Saiyan Arc was about gaining the will to fight even though he doesn't like it. On Namek, he has no problems with fighting. Then he trains for several years to fight the Androids, and then a year in the Time Chamber to fight Cell. Yet when it comes to the actual fight, he goes on about how he doesnt want to fight. WTF.
In comparison:
He was the only one that could save Piccolo and Co when Nappa was beating them. Yet, he didn't act, he didn't try, he just stood there.
He was the only one that could save Goku when Vegeta was beating him. So he acted, he tried his best, and he managed to save him.
He was the only one that could save Piccolo when third form Freeza was beating him. So he acted, he tried his best, and he managed to save him.
He was the only one that could save Piccolo and co. when Cell/Cell Jr were beating them. Yet, he didn't act, he didn't try, he just stood there.
I'm not really sure if he was brainwashed considering in the second arc he spent most of his time with Krillin, who is mentally stable.

My wii u id is Dr.Palutena for anyone who wants to know, (3ds is 1891-1183-3703). i'd give psn and xbl but i either have next to nothing to play on those online or don't use them all too much.
Piccolo's behavior at the Cell Games strikes me as odd to. He has no problem with Gohan fighting Saiyans, Freeza, and Androids but he complains about Cell? I guess you can say he changed once he merged with Kami, but he has no problems with Goten and Trunks (both younger than Cell Games Gohan) fighting Buu...
Piccolo is in full Danny Glover I'm too old for this shit mode in the Buu Saga.
Cell is dangerous and is going to blow up the planet when the Cell games are over. Buu is a mass murdering unstoppable psychopathic freak of nature who is coming to get them and Gotenks can probably do the job.
The more likely explanation is that he just cares for Gohan more and doesn't give a shit about Trunks and Goten because he doesn't know them. Also Goku is gone by that point so there's that.

When you think about it: Gohan really did turn into Piccolo. They both get a free power-up, become the strongest, get a lot of hype and gain the advantage of villain, then the villain gets stronger and beats them because they got cocky.
Also, they only really win fights through Goku sacrificed himself.

Speaking of which, I was helping a friend review the series. I showed it to both Amikami and Gucci Messiah and they both seem to enjoy it.

Somebody on another forum was trying to explain the link between Power Rangers and Super Sentai and used his videos .
Ah very cool. Yeah, I'm a big MMPR fan too, even going as far as to meet all the MMPR except for Tommy and Billy. I did do a few speeches on Power Rangers in my Film Classes, but it got overshadowed by the guy who tried to convince that Batman & Robin is the best film ever made. Still not sure if that guy was sarcastic or genuine throughout his speech..

Yeah, I used it when we were talking about EDITING and how Saban managed to take Japanese footage and turn it into an American show. It's an interesting experiment, even when I view it as an adult.

Im watching part 2 of the dragonball thing you posted and it made me remember that yamcha use to be a real threat and even stronger than goku if it wasent for his fear of women.
half expected some sort of AOL trademark on the page
Well, they both fought evenly until Goku got hungry, thus giving Yamcha the advantage until Bulma scared him off. They battle again later on, and once Goku knocks out Yamcha's tooth, causing Yamcha to become embarrassed and thus he ran off. Finally he battle's Goku a third time when Goku turns into a massive Ape and starts attacking everyone. In the manga, Yamcha is able to single-handedly subdue Oozaru Goku by grabbing his tail. In the anime, it barely has any effect at all, and it's only the combined efforts of Yamucha, Oolong, and Puah that cause Goku to become paralyzed (although apparently Puar letting go to become the giant pair of scissors has no effect).
Fun Fact: Yamcha and Piccolo both battle Goku three times in the comic, and two times in the movies.

man, poor yamcha, the anime is more well known and had it out for him.
Heh, it's more so a case that Toei just LOVES Goku. If you ever need any evidence of this, check out Dragon Ball GT.
