You know what's really funny in Dragon Ball?

So you know that moment where Vegeta talks to the Earth and asks them to lend their energy for the Spirit Bomb against Boo? And the only ones who do it are the Dragon Team (and that one dude who did it out of curiosity) until Goku speaks up and we see people from Goku's childhood contribute?

What I find funny is that Karin, Yajirobe, #17, Chaozu & fucking Tenshinhan didn't raise their hands when Vegeta asked them to. #17 I can give a pass because it was intended to be Lunch and she never met Vegeta. But the others?

Were all four of them collectively thinking "you know what fuck that guy"? Were they willing to die and have the Earth obliterated again because they don't like Vegeta? It seems petty on the side of Karin & Yajirobe, regardless of how understandable it is to not like Vegeta.

Chaozu isn't even so much a real character as he is a prop.

But Tenshinhan? Dude never really let go of his grudge against him for what happened during the Saiyan invasion, giving him shit even during the Cell arc.

Tenshinhan didn't raise a pinky when Vegeta was begging. But when Goku spoke up he was all "TAKE ALL OF MY POWER AND DEFEAT BOO GOKU"

When Tenshinhan holds a grudge, he fucking holds a grudge. The universe be damned. And it is hilarious to me.

I don't care how much you love it, what your headcanons are or how you interpret it. The Vegeta/Bulma pairing is one of the absolute worst writing fumbles in Toriyama's entire career.

It paints Bulma in a bad light for banging a remorseless, murderous space pirate who was responsible for the deaths and near-deaths of most of her friends. It paints Yamcha in a bad light because of Toriyama's "oh um, he totally cheated... offscreen... sometime... maybe... yeah" excuse, regardless of how out of character that is for manga/anime Yamcha. It paints the entire Dragon Team in a bad light because they just accept this malicious gremlin into their group despite doing absolutely nothing to truly earn it. And it clumsily tries to start some sort of character arc for Vegeta's actual redemption, poorly done as it is.

Nothing about this is organic or feels natural. Even when I first saw it, it felt forced because dammit we needed another Super Saiyan, even though the concept is trivialised by old fart Gero making cyborgs and droids who could wipe the floor with them and the genocidal, intergalactic tyrant that was considered the most powerful being in existence at the time.

I just...ugh...I hate...HATE this entire mess. Whenever I'm reading, rewatching, replaying anything from the Cell arc I always groan at this nonsense.

In the later arcs and media, you just accept it and move on because Vegeta isn't the remorseless ass hat he was when the relationship started, but man...
