Of course, it's even better if you've actually watched/read Dr. Slump, so I'm expecting blank stares from most Toonami fans. Also, I would recommend that everyone put their Vegeta boners away for as long as this show isn't in serious territory. These episodes are funny, and if one character getting shat on is part of what makes them so great, then so be it. All of you, show some humility for once. So basically ban Mochi from the thread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arale and her "world" appeared in a whole segment of the Red Ribbon Army Saga in Dragon Ball.

Probably when I would've had the inclination to back when I first saw that arc in Dragon Ball, it wasn't available or I didn't know how to. Toriyama's humor is pretty funny, so I should check it out. Sticks need to be removed from asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they can make it work in the timeline now. I'd chalk it up as non Canon like GT. What do you mean it can't work with the timeline?

I must have missed those episodes, sadly. If they aired in 2002, I was kinda hit or miss. I THOUGHT I saw all of the Red Ribbon Army saga, but I missed the mainstay of the witch Baba saga. I DID end up catching the Bansho Fan saga/Cute Chi-Chi saga in 2003 though. And even if I did see it, that was 16 YEARS AGO and I doubt I had DVR so I most likely forgot it. But my point remains valid that Vegeta, who showed up in Dragon Ball Z, would have no idea who the hell she is and would break the 4th wall to refer to her. It will, however, be interesting to see if GOKU remembers who she is, and we just can't tell that from the promos!

Well first of all, the notion of Uub giving Goku even the slightest bit of a challenge even in his base form is already ridiculous, and will be even more so by the time Super finally ends. Also, wouldn't it be slightly weird that no one in GT remembers any of the new Super Saiyan God forms? GT isn't Canon anymore. DELETED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did see it and just forgot though that's fair enough. Yeah Vegeta has never met her before. Hopefully Goku remembers her, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Goku was so excited to fight him! He is the reincarnation of Buu, after all, and as far as I know, the only reincarnated character in all of Dragon Ball, so that has to count for something. But yeah plugging Super into the middle of that time skip is a bit of a tall order. GT was never canon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if that final Kai episode actually took place AFTER Super then an untrained Uub would have been holding his own against a base form Goku that was way stronger than Kid Buu. That's one of the many reasons why it wouldn't make any sense for that final Kai episode to be considered Canon anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though how seriously was Goku taking that fight? He did say one of the hits hurt him, and he thought Uub had enough potential to be worth training. But yeah probably hard for it to be canon? Has Toei or Toriyama said anything about it? It's kind of a major thing you would think. Why didn't they just have Super take place after this time skip instead of before?
