Oh, I definitely want Kakara to be the strongest, and to master all techniques, abilities and styles.
But that's more a "hobby" thing then anything.
I mean, just because she doesn't agree with hurting people, doesn't mean she can't appreciate such things from a skill/artistic perspective.
Well, too late to argue against this, but I just wanted interactions/involvement.If you want us to stop stealing your popcorn, you'd better give it up.

Canon Omake: Launch Style
- Location
- Somewhere I shouldn't be
My own contribution to our catalog of styles:
Launch Style
A poorly-documented figure from the distant past, Launch is believed by many to have been nothing more than a myth. Others believe it was a title bestowed by Master Roshi upon his current favorite romantic prospect. Some few claim she was two women cursed to share a single body. Regardless, the surviving stories tell of her ability to terrorize and scatter numerous opponents. In her honor, this style was created. While it is known that Launch was never a martial artist (should she have truly existed), this style was created to honor her dual nature. At its core, Launch style is heavily defensive, borrowing elements from several styles including the Drunken Fist and Crazy Monkey. Erratic movements are used to mimic the purported ability of Launch to frequently escape danger despite being apparently oblivious towards it. At a moment's notice, however, a Launch Style user can change to an offensive stance that rivals Goku style for it's lack of defensive utility. While shifted towards offense, Launch Style users prefer loud, flashy, or fast attacks, often aimed more at disrupting groups of enemies than doing excessive damage to any single one. Launch Style experienced a brief prominence several generations ago when a small group of practitioners were credited with helping then-Scion Kokira Vegeta put down the rebellion of House Pilaf. By disrupting the non-SSJ House Members at key moments, the Launch Style users were able to allow Scion Kokira to eliminate the opposing Super Saiyans relatively unmolested, although at ruinous cost to themselves. Involved techniques: Agility, flight, ki blasts (rapid),Hand-to-Hand [Crowd Fighting]. Penalized techniques: Hand-to-Hand [Team Fighting], Hand-to-Hand [Dueling], Ki Projection (single-target, high damage, or specialized techniques).
I figured there'd be a few Saiyans who wanted to imitate Launch. Essentially, the style is one of opposites: it changes from a heavily-defensive style with almost no ability to project force to one with almost no defensive ability. Unfortunately, Launch wasn't actually much of a fighter, she was more a force of nature. To mimic this, Launch Style doesn't actually try to defeat opponents so much as it tries to disrupt them. For a decade or two, it was even fashionable for the reigning Lord or Lady to have a small number of Launch Stylists to call upon specifically for this purpose - they excel at keeping groups of opponents from organizing. Unfortunately, they also tend to take hideous casualties while doing so, so this fell out of favor relatively quickly.

Oh god no. This path you think we should take is a horrible one. Avoiding fights and going for the peaceful solution should always be our goal, but refusing to fight when there are no other options is wrong. If fighting is the only option to prevent innocent people from getting hurt, not fighting is damning those people for no sake other than to avoid dirtying one's hands. It's not justice, it's not morality, it's just cowardice.

Fuse with someone else, act all superior, and get beaten down by a weaker opponent who takes advantage of our overconfidence?
Or do you mean Future Trunks?
I don't think we can reasonably expect to be hit on by our mother, and we don't have an assholish abusive father to train with constantly even as he dismisses us. We're Gokun, not from Vegeta.
You can say it's not moral, but choosing to die rather than fight, even if you might be able to do so succesfully, is certainly not cowardly.
..Future Trunks, right? Also, in which way?

How dare you guys infer I was talking about young Trunks. Shame on you.
But I was talking about his nice stoic badassness. You know the person Gohan wishes he could be.
"The person Gohan wishes he could be"? Who do you think Future Trunks got his badassness from, hmm?
Edit:
Hint: Not Vegeta, damnit.

That would be cool if he did that.
Hopefully, he has better fashion sense than Gohan

This is the part we're likely going to disagree with.
I choose to believe that Poptart wasn't lying through his teeth when he said that.
If it wouldn't burn my eyes I would get the Sayaiman poses as my counter-argument.

"I can't be bothered to win this argument because it'd involve something so horrible i'd spontaneously immolate" seems a fair reason, I will give you, to not do it.
