Yeah, Puck is a very cartoony character, that just emphasizes that.

I see now! It all makes sense if you add it to the equation!
Yes......it is as I had feared......Puck's true nature is that of a spiral being! He..............is a spy from Tengen Topa Gurren Lagan!

Only that could explain his subnormal stupidity and ridiculously high self-confidence!

The evidence is irrefutable......see for yourself:

Possibly you just answered your own question?

Actually, brainwashing children would be fine, if Disney was at least brainwashing them into something cool, like mindless assassins or something. But they're brainwashing children into boring people, which is much harder to forgive.

Killing people is (almost) never boring. You would have to work hard to manage to be a mindless boring assassin.

While replaying Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, I noticed this sword. I guess I hadn't read Berserk last time I played it. The design for the sword might be taken from Berserk, rather than some lore involving the sword's name.

and the great and reliable wikipedia says:
the lance (or in some versions of the story, sword) that St George used to slay the dragon, named after the city Ashkelon

But if you think about it backwards if Ascalon was a dragon slaying spear, and Gut's big ol sword is called the Dragonslayer, that's a more than uncanny coincidence.

Ok then both ways maybe.

I never noticed this before - Inside Void's cape leads to another dimension/plane or something.

That's crazy, it's like the portal stuff Void uses when Skull Knight tries to stab him.

:wtf: Just wonder where it leads to.... could it be something like that SK's sword of ressonance? Just takes to somewhere else in the same *forgot the word* layer or something? Or to a new one? That'd be interesting

Yeah, except Skull Knight got the idea for the Sword of Resonance from Void's time-space manipulation abilities. Well he made the sword to counter them, to be precise. So it's the other way around really, the sword is like Void's ability. Well kind of anyway, heh. The sword cuts through space, while Void just bends space.

Did he? Well, it's probable, I guess (though he didn't say anything about it...)
Just wish I understood better how it works...

How it works? That's simple: Magic.

Yeah, remember at the end of the eclipse when he tried to stab Void, and Void created a portal that bent space and send SK's blade back on himself? Well the Sword of Resonance is obviously made to counter that ability. Also, the sword is made of behelits, that's where it gets its "magic" powers. ;)

Haha....Freezia blowing up Krillin was a pinnacle moment in DBZ lore.

Freezia? I think you mean Frieza.

Heh, you'd be pissed too if someone killed your best friend right in front of you.

In the DBZ world? I can't imagine why. It's not as if death actually means anything.

Actually it does. Death isn't something that can be taken lightly, even if you can be wished back. You should know how much Goku hates killing, even if people just go to another dimension. Even in the end Goku couldn't completely finish off Frieza. Most importantly though, keep in mind that Krillin had been revived before, and Shinron can only revive someone from death once. At the time, as far as Goku knew, there was no way Krillin could be wished back. Plus, Goku was already pissed at Frieza for all the other people he had killed, even a child like Dende, but Krillin was his closest friend and the final straw. ;)

I would agree with you, but didn't they improve the Dragon to make it more powerful so they could revive as many people as they want? I think later, as people started dropping like flies, everyone became desensitised to death. 'Oh look, Krillin died again. Whatever, let's revive him next time we get the Dragon Balls'. The only obstacle that prevented people from not reviving was if they didn't want to, like in Goku's case.

And why the hell are we talking about DBZ?
