Ironically i just started watching DBZ again... I wish Akira would tell us why Launch was removed from DBZ? I mean we see her like twice in the series, but that's it.

I want to say the official explination is that he forgot she existed.

Same reason the Saiyan's tails stopped growing back.

Yeah, he forgot she existed sometime before the end even of Dragon Ball.

Crazy that I was watching Dragonball Z and there was a scene where everybody had to raise their hands and give their energy to Goku to defeat Majinn Buu. I never saw the scene before but there was a part where Android 17 pulls a gun on two people and they raise their hands, giving Goku their energy, too! Never noticed it before. I even bought a Dragonball Z guide back in the early 2000s that said Android 17 died when Cell died. I guess he got wished back, too.

Nope. It isn't real. Like DBGT, it doesn't exist in real canon to real fans because it is so stupid.

I assume that you had the luck to not watch Dragon Ball GT... Don't do it.

I tried to watch the first couple of episodes back when it was on Cartoon Network but I just couldn't get into it.  Hell, even the Buu saga was kinda hard to get through.  Guess I'll go back and get all of the DBZ movies I missed.

You did the right thing.

They should have stopped after Cell.
