@elite49: I'll give props to Toriyama for recognizing that writing a battle manga with a magical macguffin available at almost any time is basically impossible so instead of ignoring it he acknowledges it by simply making the characters the biggest dipshits of all time. RIP millions of innocent humans.
I forgot how dumb all of the innocent deaths this whole arc are after hearing Bulmas obvious easy way out of using the dragon, only for everyone to essentially respond with "nah we'd rather just fight". They should all be IN JAIL.
@zeik: Since watching Dragon Ball as a kid I've browsed other manga such as this football one where they literally said more than once "the power of a black person!". So ya know, I think Japan does maybe have a weird relationship with black people.
