He’s a petty liar, a lunatic, and based off what his former student said, possibly an abusive prick too - which would make his role as the teacher who openly whips Gohan much more disturbing in hindsight if true. Especially since that was one of his first roles and would have taken place around the timeframe named.

I’m sick and tired of the Funimation voice actor drama rearing it’s ugly head back up here.
 
But in regards to the news with the games and a live-action movie. I’m a bit sceptical with the latter. That being said, I don’t think it can be any worse than Evolution.
 
FighterZ’s DLC and Kakarot is looking pretty good. It’s also been a long time that we’ve seen Semi-Perfect Cell in a video game.

So any idea when Team Four Star will continue Dragon Ball Z Abridged? It’s been a while since the final part of episode 60, and the Trunks epilouge. I thought they might do the tournament movie with Bojack as a Christmas Special, but it never came.

@Mad Black  
It sometimes takes them a while to update so I wouldn’t be surprised if it may take a while for a new episode to come up.
 
@Lord Goku  
I think it looks pretty but I didn’t get the chance to play it yet. Is it good?

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot gave an interesting explanation for why saiyans don’t regrow tails.
 
More or less only 8% of the population even have the ability to regrow their tail. And if their power exceeds what their great ape form would be at the time they lose their tails then even that 8% loses the ability.

Yeah, but the Great Ape form was supposed to be a 10× modifier, you can’t exceed a modifier because it takes your “stats”, whatever those might be and increases them by ten times.
 
I think this is what you refer to as a “Retcon”

Kakarot’s been pretty fun. I like the flying around, which reminds me a lot of Budokai 3’s Dragon World mode, and the combat is surprisingly good. The load times between “episodes” can be a little annoying though.

Meh, Toriyama simply didn’t liked to draw the tails any more, because it saved time. So he simply removed them, and never brought them back or forgot about them. Trunks and Goten never even had a tail, or it never was addressed that it was removed or anything.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
I heard. I hope his family is doing okay.
 
@Littlecabbit  
Honestly, Goku being able to regrow his tail back didn’t really make sense to me in the first place, especially considering for whatever odd reason it only happened to him and not any other Saiyan that got their tails chopped off.
 
I think part of that may have to do with the character design. I can buy characters like Piccolo and Cell regrowing body parts since they look less human (or even mammalian). Saiyans look a lot like people and the tails they have look like a regular ol’ mammalian monkey tails.
 
@Dustcan  
@Littlecabbit  
Eh, it probably is a retcon. Not that it’s anything all too new in this franchise. Even before GT and Super some of the video games and Daishensu (I hope I spelled that right) magazines would occasionally bring up bits of trivia that would retcon things.
 
Also in some occasions, anime filler or the dub will introduce its own things that get retconned. And translation errors can sometimes make things a bit more complicated too. For example, Freeza mentioned having parents in the English manga but that may have well been a translation error since the Japanese language lacks plurals. For all we know, maybe King Cold reproduced asexually like King Piccolo did.
 
@Mad Black  
That too. Toriyama isn’t a creator that plans things. He does things on the fly, is forgetful (he forgot that he made Super Saiyan 2), and likes to cut corners (he even called himself lazy and admitted that he made the Super Saiyan look the way it does because he doesn’t like inking black hair).
 
There’s bound to be mistakes and deliberate retcons with this kind of stuff, especially when you have different people occasionally making the other content like the games, GT, and Super.

I honestly never watched Dragonball before Z, so he was always an alien to me, I know he’s referred as a demon in the original anime/first part of the manga, but I always took that as a title, or miss-categorized as a demon because the earthlings didn’t know aliens existed at the time, Goku was also just a strange kid with a monkey tail.
 
Now how Demon-king Piccolo created clearly not Nemekian children is another thing altogether.
