    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.

    2:36:11 Dende (Little Green) whistles at Gohan, Piccolo says "ow", Dende says "that hurt me more than it hurt you".

DragonBall was originally just Journey to the West with a new skin. Like Saiyuki. One of the reasons I enjoy dragon ball more.

    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.

    I think one of the best and funniest creative decisions they make in this show is keeping Tien and Trunks (and to a lesser extent Piccolo) as basically the exact same characters they were in the original, just reacting to all the insanity happening around them. The ultimate straight men because they are just lifted right out of a serious anime.

    The reason Goku and Gohan can stay in SSJ form is because they figured out how to power up without expelling excess ki. That flame-y aura you see them all have when they powerup is them expelling ki. That's how the scouters were able to detect them from far away.

    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*

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].
