Launch's appearances in early DBZ are actually anime filler, as she literally makes no appearances from the Saiyan saga onwards. The reason why she was written out: Toriyama literally forgot about her. 😶🌫Then after remembering post-Frieza saga, he makes up an excuse like "because her hair changing was too much like a Super Saiyan". 😒 Toei was kind enough to at least have her make a cameo appearance in offering up some energy to Goku in the Buu Saga for his Spirit Bomb.
Akira toriyama did say that launch was still chasing after Tien, because she has feelings for him. So she’s been tracking Tien all over dbz and dragon ball super. Since Tien doesn’t stay at one location, it’s an ongoing chase. That is the role Akira toriyama has given the current launch.
So about Launch. Minor Spoiler. Launch was a prominent secondary character from the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament Arc to the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament (Piccolo Jr) Arc. Blue Haired Launch was more relevant early on and acted mostly as Roshi's housekeeper and caretaker for Goku and Krillin. However, as the series progressed, Blonde Launch became more prominent- to the point I don't think we even saw Blue Haired Launch at the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament- and was even a love interest for Tien Shinhan. And then Akira Toriyama, as he was known to do, completely forgot about her to the point I don't even think she was in the Dragon Ball Z manga. Hell, when Goku is using the Super Spirit Bomb on Majin Buu, she is one of the few of Goku's old acquaintances who doesn't make an appearance- even though Bora, Uppa, Suno and Androids 8 and 17 all appear. Her last appearance in the DBZ anime is her drinking herself into a stupor after the death of Tien in DBZ.
I don’t know if it’s a myth, but is it true that Toriyama wanted to originally put Launch in the manga during the Spirit Bomb energy gathering scene, but ultimately replaced her with 17?
There's a popular lie that Lunch isn't in DBZ because Toriyama totally forgot about her. Reality is Toriyama forgot about Lunch for about 2 or 3 weeks and then he wrote her out of the story because she had played her role. Toriyama continued to draw Lunch in promotional pieces outside of the Dragon Ball storyline.
So then she’s not in Z because he forgot about her… somewhat feels like you’re just playing semantics here but I guess I get your overall point. That Toriyama didn’t completely forget about Launch because he included her in other things separate from the DBZ storyline… but nonetheless it’s still a correct statement to say Launch wasn’t in DBZ because Toriyama forgot about her. (Even if it was only briefly… it still ultimately resulted in her not being in the story/show) Lol I guess my whole point is that I don’t think it’s necessary fair to classify it as a _”popular lie”_ by fans… rather it’d be more accurate to say that “There’s a _popular misconception_ by fans that Toriyama just COMPLETELY forgot about Launch as a character, which actually isn’t the case.”
@@Austin.Kilgore I feel you're playing semantics here. The reason Lunch isn't in Dragon Ball Z isn't because Toriyama forgot about her for a month, that's silly, it's because Toriyama felt she had no role to play anymore. Most people who say Toriyama forgot Lunch think it means he forgot about Lunch for the rest of the run of Dragon Ball. I call this statement a lie because it is, I'm not calling the people repeating the lie "liars" because most people think it's true, but the misconception is born from a lie, however you word it makes no difference to me.
Launch was at the begining of DBZ following tien around till the fight with nappa and Vegeta, she was in the bar saying the world is going to end so didn't need the money she robbed. She was last seen in DBZ when she helped give Goku energy for the spirit bomb vs kid Buu when she stepped off the bus, is her only appearances in DBZ and I'm sure she wasn't in DBS
DBGT is non canon to the story, it's viewed as a spin off, Toriyama did participate making it but no matter who says it's canon.. ITS NOT, its like a different timeline if want to think of it that way.. DBGT sucked in my opinion
Ah Launch, the OG super saiyan. She deserved so much better after OGDB. Then again, I guess it’s better to be forgotten then to just be on screen for the sake of it and have your character deteriorate.
Launch faded into the background of Dragon Ball by the time of DBZ because poor Akira Toriyama forgot all about her. I'd tell you her relevance, but I'll spoil the end of classic Dragon Ball it I do and I'd rather you guys figure it out as you all go. By then end, you'll understand why fans like myself don't like how she was the first of many to be forgotten, overlooked and overshadowed.
Lol Krillin gets better and tbh I get people tend to overstate his “cowardice” in Z… Krillin stepped up countless times throughout the series despite him knowing he’s desperately out matched and is scared but he still steps up and at least tries nonetheless. Which is why I’ve also felt Krillin is an incredibly underrated character. (Like he had several really good moments in the Namek saga alone.) P.S. Also I know people often compare Krillin to Yamacha but personally I think Krillin is leagues above Yamacha. (As in terms of just their overall characters, so not just “who’s stronger”… which even then I’m pretty sure it’s Krillin.)
It's a pity she never appeared again. It would have been hilarious to c her go head to head with vegeta and the androids. She probably have butted heads with videl, berus and whis as well. So many potential story lines wasted.
Ah, launch the character Toriyama forgot. She's so popular that a lot of fans have made an unofficial canon, where her and Raditz become an item. Tons of fan art, comics, and even animation came from Launch x Raditzs.😊 Launch does make a return in the canon omv animation 'Son Goku and Friends', where we are also introduced to Vegetas brother Tarble. (The one he mentioned in Super Broly) You and madison should definitely check that out.
Goku and krillin taken launge in this way when she sneeze she transforms a care taker stays there with master roshi and imagine roshi doing mischievous with her so boom boom 💥 blast lounge 😂😂😂😂
There is a small cameo in the Kid Buu Saga where she's shown raising up her arms to give energy to Goku for a Spirit Bomb. This is just filler and not featured in the manga, though the episode was worked on by Akira Toriyama himself. Hope you read my comment and mention on your next episodes lol
The Manga had this exchange, when Goku calls out for Roshi after bringing Launch to the island. Kuririn: I think the master is disposed. Goku: Disposed? Kuririn: You know, in the bathroom. Goku: Oh, you mean he’s taking a shit? Well I’ll tell him to get out of the pot. Yo, Master, dropping a load?
To be sure, the early scenes of Kuririn breaking trees and running in desert were Anime only. In the manga, his introduction is at the boat jumping to Kame Island.
i can’t believe i never thought about this, but i never sneeze just once. it would be hilarious to see launch switch back and forth like four times in six seconds
Launches Super Saiyan power, strength, speed and spawning weapons from nowhere 🤣. This was a funny one. Such an interesting condition. I read somewhere or saw in a video that they didn't want to continue with Launch because of the conflicting Super Saiyan transformation.
You see Blonde Launch in DBZ in a bar, totally wasted. And Good Launch gets off the bus in the city when Goku is calling out for energy to help defeat Majin Buu and raises her hands up to give her energy.
Lunch's appearance is very funny. Her name is like the english word for midday meal, I don't understand why they changed it for Launch. Anyway there were some censure again. When Son Goku and Krilin went to Muten Roshi's house, the bald kid normally gripped Lunch's a*s and had a pervert face. And when Roshi scanned Lunch he is happy to see that she is a 90-60-90 measurements. So it's training time !!!
He's not really cowardly later. I mean in Z he's fighting the Ginyu Force and Freeza, way out of his league, but he still squares up. Sure he gets scared but that's normal when your power level is like 3000 and the enemy's is like 50,000.
Nah he's definitely cowardly. In Battle of Gods he was running away with Yamcha while all the other Z fighters including his wife were fighting Beerus.
In a weird way she kind of is going super Sayan haha it’s like an Easter egg telling us later on goku will do this and go super Sayan for the first time but this is a human changing attitudes haha
Seeing Launch here makes her brief appearances in DBZ feel so much more nostalgic now.
It’s unfortunate we never see Launch ever again cause Toriyama forgot about her
Nah that's alright
Who cares about launch?
well, not really she appears in Yo son goku and his friends return. After that yes she hasn’t been seen again.
We see her once in the Saiyan saga, and once in the Buu saga.
@@pluggboss6 Exactly. She is a straight up gag character. Would just be distracting to the Z plot.
He didn’t forget her. There’s was nothing for her do in Dragonball Z

Actually Launch was seen lending energy
@@coltchan7380only in the anime

Super Saiyan: Tingle in your back
Super Launch: Tingle in your nose
Basically the same thing

@@katchin1523 I guess we’ll have to just disagree to disagree then lol
Imagine if Launch sneezed while riding the Nimbus.
Immediate ejection 😂
"Ejecto Seat, Cuz!"
Aye that farmer looks familiar…. Talk about long term story telling!
I have a Launch question that I have never asked. When she sneezes, does the "carpet" match the "drapes"? lol
Shes clean shaven.
When launch sneezes, it's not just her hair but her personality. When blue shes nice when blond shes mean.
You don't say?

Madison showing her innocence again with what Master Roshi is doing going right over her head. 🤣
5:43 Sid: What?
Woody's voice box: Somebody’s poisoned the waterhole!
Finally meeting Launch, the girl that briefly appeared in the last few episodes of the DBZ Buu arc.
She also appeared in the Saiyan saga for 1 episode
It's a pity she never appeared again. It would have been hilarious to c her go head to head with vegeta and the androids. She probably have butted heads with videl, berus and whis as well. So many potential story lines wasted.
Eventually Krillin end up becoming a police officer in Dragon Ball Super just like these guys that were after Launch.

Launch really deserved more love. Blue Launch was the closest thing to a mom Goku ever had.
You see Blonde Launch in DBZ in a bar, totally wasted.
And Good Launch gets off the bus in the city when Goku is calling out for energy to help defeat Majin Buu and raises her hands up to give her energy.
Lanch was in DBZ. She appeared a few times in the Saiyan Saga
1:52 💀

Wow! I can’t believe they censored it. She has the “perfect” measurements lol!! 😂
@@BarisTeeAnimeReactions it's only in the manga by the way. I don't remember if they censored it in Europe
Rip Akira Toriyama forgot her after this arc and small appearance next arc then no where seen i don't know why
Launch is in the saiyan saga, Toriyama said he forgot about her when the story went to Namek.
Madisons prediction skill are at it again 😁😎
Madison was not paying attention this episode 🤣
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
Between sneezing to transforming or feeling a tingle in the back, I would like to know which is less believable.
12:10 🤨🫵
Launch is one of my favorite characters ❤
"Launch is pretty fit" - They don't offer 2 million zenits for her, out of nothing!
He's not really cowardly later. I mean in Z he's fighting the Ginyu Force and Freeza, way out of his league, but he still squares up. Sure he gets scared but that's normal when your power level is like 3000 and the enemy's is like 50,000.
Nah he's definitely cowardly. In Battle of Gods he was running away with Yamcha while all the other Z fighters including his wife were fighting Beerus.
Launch, the personality switcher who sneezes.
So if she and Tien had actually gotten together and she sneezed halfway through, is that cheating or a threesome?
Can you believe that up to some point Launch ceased to appear because Akira Toriyama forgot about her?
She was flying nimbus 😮
Launch is really interesting character in my opinion
Krillon the ultimate wingman. 😂
Also launch gotta be from New York cause she sounds like it 😂😂
NY/NJ 100% 😂
Launch is a very funny 😅character
launch was at the beginning and end of DBZ
I just thought about it. android 18 and Launch would have been good friends.
I would say she's less bipolar and more disassociative identity disorder or what used to be called multiple personality disorder
Kurilin is wing man but Tori make him shady and forget Lunch and Tails
14:30 Is launch being sarcastic? or is she really just guessing?
I came across an absolute gym of a photo shopped db/dbz pic, and I thought you and Madison would get a kick out of it. How can I forward it to you?
In a weird way she kind of is going super Sayan haha it’s like an Easter egg telling us later on goku will do this and go super Sayan for the first time but this is a human changing attitudes haha
U two should dress as launch and tein for Halloween 😅
Launch the original super saiyan. :))
In the Manga it is Lunch
Lunch didn't appear in DBZ much because Toryama forgot
How is no one remember Launch appearance in DBZ Saiyan saga
It was a short filler. That scene wasn't even in Dragon Ball Kai.
Dragon Ball Daima is coming in fall 2024!

🥰👍👍
Akira Toriyama forgot about her😂
they probably use em torus field to fly
If you never seen dragonball you would’ve missed out on launch like everyone else
did you all no the same voice actress for launch is also the one that did android 18
Can you react to original Beyblades pls its pretty good show
Launch > Bulma
All in a days work....krillin didnt do shit
FUN FACT GT IS NOW CANON. Akira toriyama canonized it before passing and was trying to build dragon ball super up to gt
That's true cause in the Moro arc Uub was one of the fighter to give energy to Goku to enhanced his spirit bomb to defeat Moro.
You see her can goku is doing the super spirit bomb
You guys should watch dbgt first because there is more action
