Killed his brother and his grandfather. Goku is not good with family.

To be fair, Piccolo killed his brother. Goku was just giving him a hug.

Also, killing adoptive family members doesn't count, because adopted kids don't have a real family anyway.

I've started keeping track of days of the week by how many days it is until the next episode of Super

Also the new spoilers for eps 102-104 make the wait even worse

Hugs must be a hereditary weakness shared by Goku's bloodline.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

It makes a bit more sense if you account for the fact that, in many ways, he never grew up. He's a big fight-loving baby child.

I don't speak a lick of Japanese, I only watched Z with the Brazilian dub which has a similar direction to the Funimation one, but I get simple and rough from Granny Goku pretty easily just from his inflection. As I said before Granny Goku grew on me, going back to the Brazilian voices for the second movie was kinda weird.

In the German dub they become axis allies and besties after this scene.

German Vegeta is less funny than I hoped he would be, except for the original voice which is oh dear it's not great - also apparently German Spongebob, tying yet again DBZ to that cartoon.

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
Did it turn into the English dub for a second there? It sounded like Sonny Strait saying "Help me!".

On another note, how do other languages handle Goku's name? One thing that was surprising when I first started watching in Japanese was how often people would use the full Son Goku. Hell, Bulma doesn't even call him Goku at all, she always calls him Son-kun. Considering English dropped the Son part entirely, do other languages do the same?

calling someone by their full name would sound really awkward in english. so would calling someone "son"

I would imagine in any language where its typically to refer to people with their first names they just call him Goku.

Same with Tien. They always call him Tienshinhan, but the dub seems to reserve the "shinhan" part as his last name or something. I have only heard it once in the dub.

I can't remember a single time someone calls him "Son" in the Latin American dub, despite being completely faithful to the original. I don't remember if he's ever called by his full name, but I'm sure he's never called just "Son".

That's a rename. He's Tenshinhan in the original, while the dub made him Tien Shinhan, adding an i that was never there (like Frieza, but pronounced) and breaking up his name for some reason. That said, even in the original (and kept in the Latin American dub) Chiaotzu just calls him "Ten".

Come to think of it, has Bulma ever once referred to him as Goku in the entire franchise (in the Japanese version at least)?

Piccolo also just calls him Son without any honorifics. Although that'd likely be even harder to localize I imagine.
