    Krillin actually, no cap, canonically, has no nose. This has its roots in gag manga humor from Toriyama's early days that was carried into early Dragon Ball. Krillin faced an opponent who was really stinky and used this as his fighting style, however once he remembered he doesn't have a nose, he was fine.

    3:58:52 Goku's instant transmission works by sensing a person's energy he's familiar with and willing himself there, he can't go somewhere he can't detect someone he knows, so there was basically nowhere he could go with Cell that wouldn't result in collateral damage, King Kai's planet was the absolute least loss of life, since because King Kai is already in Other World, he technically wouldn't have to go anywhere

    If I’m not mistaken, the reason they made 16’s speech less heartfelt is because the goal isn’t to get Gohan to “just stop holding back” or something like that, the goal is to piss him off, make him snap, or otherwise DRAG Super Saiyan 2 out of him, which is the LAST thing Gohan wants.

      Gohan was deemed as "The One" and made into a Super God, the most strongest mortal to exist. But then nope, he lost anyways so Goku could save the day.
      With how powerful Super Buu was, Goku couldn't kill him logically, so had to literally retcon how Buu's 'Candy Beam' works and logic, and literally retconned how the kai earings worked, to set up the removal of Good Buu and turn him into kid buu, "The weakest form" so that Goku could kill him.

    Trunks' max power form is actually something that's been around since very early Dragon Ball. Roshi used it as early as episode 14, right before the first Kamehameha of the series.
    Trunks using it is a symptom of Vegeta's greatest disadvantage as a teacher- he's unapproachable. Goku and Gohan discussing the form while training probably stemmed from Gohan discovering it and coming to his father.
    If Trunks could've talked to Vegeta about it, he likely would have stopped pursuing it while training and could've gotten stronger in a more meaningful way.

Once [everyone] found out Goku was officially gone, there were many petitions against Toriyama/Production and so they ixnayed the 'Gohan becoming the new protector of Earth', and then severely axed his power [nay we remind you of the Great Saiyaman saga?], seeing as with the Namekian Dragonballs anyone can be brought back as many times as they want.

      @@SardonicVida From the Dragonball Wiki:
      In terms of physical development, this differs by Saiyan as it does with Earthlings. Most full-blooded Saiyans appear to grow in spurt phases, as seen through Goku.[40][41] Saiyans appear identical to that of a Earthling baby in their early years, although they are born with a full head of hair more often than Earthlings, but also appear to grow at somewhat slower rates. Goku at the age of 12 was actually about the same size as his future son Gohan (who is half-Earthling) would be at the age of 5. Bulma herself believed Goku to be that young when they first met, but was shocked to find out he was actually 12.[42][43] By the age of 18, Goku had undergone his largest spurt phase; he became significantly taller and more muscular, going from half the size of Yamcha to nearly matching him three years later.[44] General height and built once fully grown can still differ between Saiyans the same as Earthlings as Vegeta, who is five years older than Goku, is noticeably shorter and smaller overall. This is supported by Super Hero, in which Piccolo is surprised that Goten and Trunks had grown significantly since the last time he saw them. Gohan appears to be aware of the way Saiyans grow, as he tells Piccolo that they stay small for a long time before hitting a sudden growth spurt that brings about better fighting physiology.

    For anyone who doesn’t understand the whole senzu bean stuff. Goku didn’t want cell to get desperate and blow up the planet after losing to Gohan therefore he powered him back up to further fuel Cells confidence we see that later on when Gohan starts toying with him and he gets desperate and almost blows up the planet. So to most it’s seen as a dumb move from Goku but it was all calculated even before fighting cell

    3:42:18 "they should have used this soundtrack in the actual show".
    They... they did. The original japanese dub had this song, it's named "Spirit vs Spirit". And it is substantially more emotional than the honestly crappy inner monologue Gohan has that takes away all the emotional buildup.
    *edit*
    regarding why they quit, it wasn't just the copyright nonsense. Well, it didn't help. But they were very burned out on the series. They were working on Bojack and had to shelve it because they couldnt get it to work. There was a fully year where they only had 2 or 3 episodes out (the semi perfect cell ones I think). And it took a full year to work on the final episode (which was essentially a feature-length film given its length). Also, they or at least Kaiser, strongly felt that this ending was about as good as it gets to end the series (and he only made 60-4 as a way to finish off remaining plot points and properly end the Cell saga). And finally they just were not major fans of the Afterworld Tournament, Gohan goes to Highschool, and the Buu saga. So despite initially saying "we will see you in season 4", they decided to just end the series where it did.
    Honestly, I feel it was a good call. As Lani puts it "I will be damned if we let DBZA turn into Scrubs season 9". And we got the Buu bits so, yay :)
    *edit 2*
    Oh wow I realised you guys missed the final episode of DBZA. Episode 60 had a 4th part, where Trunks returns to his timeline.

They were forced to make mochi on the moon and, according to a Q&A (or interview, I forget), once Roshi blew up the moon, they didn't die. They were launched off into space and are supposedly still floating through space to this day.

    The way Gohan's tears slowly evaporated in the burning aura of his new power is also an example of animation that the Super series just lacked. I don't remember seeing even one moment in it where I felt the same coolness and smoothness. It was all just lack of detail on everything from bodies to facial expressions, and the weird shiny rendering, that made characters look like plastic. The Broly movie did it justice, like an updated but still nostalgic look, and Daima at least is a massive improvement over Super, though not quite as good.

    "And he sent a rabbit to the Moon!"
    This is in reference to the very beginning of Dragonball [Issue 2; Chapter 7], after Bulma met Goku and Oolong, they started their adventure, and came across a town plagued by the Rabbit Mob. Bulma, at the time, was wearing a bunny suit [like a Playboy bunny] and this town was terrorized by a rabbit-man [named Monster Carrot; he could turn anyone into a carrot with the touch of his hand]. Long story short, Goku sent him and his henchmen to the moon to make marshmallow treats for children [presumably for eternity].

Monster Carrot was a giant rabbit and mob boss that could turn people into carrots and eat them. Goku defeated him with his power pole and then used it to take him to the moon where he was forced to make treats for children for a year. However, the moon was then destroyed by Master Roshi to stop Goku when he turned into Oozaru during the World matial arts tournament.
