Quotes
- Recoome: Hit Recoome's music! (music plays) Vegeta, you think that just because you're the Prince of alllllllll Saiyans you're the best there is at what you do... But let Recoome tell you something, brother: you ain't no Wolverine! And you ain't got what it takes to step up to a five time champion! (later) You see, Vegeta, you sit here and brag about how the Saiyans are the mightiest warriors in all the universe; how they're the most ruthless. Well, look at where they are now: DEAD! You talk about your legends, and your warrior race, and your pride, but that doesn't mean a damn thing to this man! Because the name's Recoome, and it rhymes with doom, and you're gonna be hurting... all...too...SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! -- Episode 20: Namekimania 2011
