>Vegeta’s younger brother
UH, HALLO? PLANET VEGETA WAS DESTROYED I BELIEVE. OVER 9000 YEARS AGO. HE HAS A YOUNGER BROTHER THAT APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE.
>completely written by Toriyama
COMPLETELY FAILED BY TORIYAMA.

I MEAN I’M NO DRAGONBALL EXPERT BY ANY MEANS, BUT DIDN’T FREEZA BLOW THAT SHIT UP WHEN VEGETA WAS YOUNG? HOW THE FUCK DOES HE HAVE A BROTHER _TWO_ FUCKING YEARS AFTER MAJIN BUU? WOW. THIS IS SHITTY, AND DOES NOT OFFICIALLY EXIST JUST LIKE GT.

Probably he is like Goku, he was sent to another planet when he was a baby.
Or probably Vegeta’s father had sex with women from other planets. I mean, when there is war, there is rape.

THAT FAILS TO EXPLAIN WHY HE LOOKS LIKE A CHILD. THE AGE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE MINIMAL IF THE STORY GOES HOW YOU SAID.

I doubt princes were tossed around the galaxy like that. Princes would most probably stay close to their father in order to learn their business and take over when needed. Toriyama might just come up with a decent explanation, though. I mean, it’s not like he had planned Goku and Piccolo being aliens when he created them and in the end it still worked out somehow.
I don’t remember the details from the Bardock and Broly specials/movies, but probably Goku was sent to earth because Bardock was just a regular warrior and his son appeared so weak and wimpy (he pissed Baby Broly off with his crybaby attitude) that they concluded Earth was the only place where he would even stand a chance.

Deep space stasis pod?
There are tons of Sci-fi convention that could be used to explain how Vegeta has a younger brother.
Brother might mean something as simple as DNA culed from King Vegeta and a Saiyan woman of high power level. Seriously this is being written by Toriyama so have some faith man.
As long as I get Goku in a good fight that is closer to movies 1-7 and eating giant plates of chow then I’ll be happy. Also with Toriayam actualyl writing this I guess it makes the story Canon!

Chill out, broski. Yes, it’s milking the franchise even more, yes, those fine folks at Jump HQ have probably been begging him to do this for years, yes it will suck, yes you will wait for it to get released to DVD and then wait for fansubs.

From what I understand, Tarble was banished from Planet Vegeta because he was a weakling, and was sent to a remote planet with weak lifeforms. He’s married to an alien named Gray, and is small and shrimpy because he’s a wimp.

Uhhh…ppl, let’s calm down and be excited. I mean, we have to accept that it’s written by Toriyama and it’s set in the Dragon Ball Universe, two years after Majin Buu. It could completely make sense, seeing as the final episode of DBZ is a timeskip forwarding 10 years after Buu; and the party and baby shower for Bra (Trunks’s lil sister as you will all remember) and all that was set six months after Buu was defeated. There’s a huge gap of stuff that could’ve happened then, and since DBGT isn’t canonical, it still leaves open-ended opportunities.
And again, this the Dragon Ball Universe. Who knows what could happen. Technically, Toriyama-sensei had decided to retire his work on all anime after Blue Dragon; well, this seems like his comeback bit, so we should be happy that he’s given thoughts on us. If you look on Fanfiction.net, somebody has probably thought of a similar idea; Toriyama probably had his thoughts on this from somewhere. It’s the same thing with Stephanie Meyer’s book saga of Twilight; after her first two books, Breaking Dawn was somewhat panned immediately by fans and some compared it to a “fanfiction” ending…I haven’t read it and I disagree with that.
the point of this rant is…After all, it HIS work and he’s allowed to do what he wants with it. If you don’t like what he’s come up with lately, then you don’t watch the short.
Either way, the rest of us eagerly await it’s release.
