Launch had debatable value. The transition from DB to DBZ certainly left out the goofier side of the show, such as Launch. Oh look, Roshi got launch into a compromising situation because of her naive, kind demeanor. Uh oh, she sneezed, and now angry launch is really, really mad about it and shot Roshi. Tune in next time, when the exact same fucking thing happens.

It is another example of what I have been saying: It's not only an SJW perspective that makes Roshi a shit character.

Characters of questionable value who made it to Z: Oolong, Puar, Chiaotzu, Yamcha. Many more. Why is Launch special?

I think she was redundant. A larger portion of DB was composed of Roshi bullshit. The plan for DBZ was clearly to trim similar silliness and make it more "serious" or at least focused on fighting and power progression. When you plan to spend a lot of time on Roshi kinds of things, it makes sense to have what is essentially a character that feeds on Roshi.

Or at least that's how I see it. But didn't someone say Toriyama actually said he forgot about her or something? Is that just a joke or is it real? lol

Just a reminder that the manga is just called Dragonball, Z is just an anime split.Toriyama also said he forgot about saiyans tails when he designed Trunks and Goten, I wouldn't be surprised if he forgot about Launch.

He straight up said that Launch was a character he just forgot.

Not that she was particularly needed - but we're all sticklers on continuity so she remains necessary.

Is it really Launch? I somehow remembered her as Lunch, which is more fitting considering all the food puns in the series.

Kinda like Frieza and Freeza. Since it seems impossible to determine which is correct, I go with the LL approach and say Freeza makes more sense WRT other members of his clan. In that regard, perhaps it is appropriate to go with Lunch unless there is some sort of projectile pun scheme used for women.

It's less contentious because she pretty much never comes up anymore.

She had an unrequited crush on him throughout DB. That's it.

I don't but I really liked her character in dB and wouldn't have minded her showing up in dbz.

Lol I could have sworn there was a throw a way line somewhere where Tien mentioned going on a date with her.

I don't really care too much about her character. If they can meaningfully work her back into the story where she adds something positive great but I won't kick up any fuss if she stays out.

I only brought it up because I always found it funny that the author forgot about the character.

No. But it tells you a bit about how much thought Toriyama puts into some things he does that he could just forget a character even existed.

Could be wrong but I think there was some movie or something?

I wonder where they are planning to do next. It's already at universe level competition, they can't expand the power level forever

It's probably a step down in power level from Zamasu already. No one here is an immortal universe murderer with fusion powers.
