He has a driver's license, so I imagine Chichi made sure he got that too.

The Earth in Dragon Ball has a one world government, there would be no need for passports.

Dude has zero loving taste. Yes Fusion Reborn is the best of the Z films but he has Bojack 2nd and Second Coming fourth.

wretched single ply might as well use my socks
Broly movies at the top and World's Strongest at the bottom, pretty wack list.

World's Strongest will always be my favourite since it has a smattering of cool backflips, Goku vs Piccolo punch mans, Krillin being a goof, Goku saving his kid multiple times, a rad as hell kaioken kamehameha and Scott McNeil being extra as Piccolo.

It's just so much drat undiluted Dragon Ball fun without any hint of Saiyan story line, just cool kung fu fight'n.

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 has a lot of cool ideas and tries to do something neat but the ending is so insanely flaccid and weak it kills the entire movie dead.

It's the best animated one before the Broly movie at least.

Movie 9 gets credit for half of it being a tournament and it being Satan heavy. Nobody cares about Bojack though.

I give it credit for summing up the Toei movies completely. Goku kills the dude for no reason, ignoring it defeats the point of the plot and established power rankings at that point and it ends with the song "if Goku doesnt do it, who can?"

Exploration is ill-advised.
Goku grew up in the sticks and basically successfully lived as a hunter-gatherer for much of his adolescence. And also adulthood when given an excuse.

That's actually a pretty good point. It is the perfect ending point to the non-canon movies, a perfect synthesis of all they did wrong.

But you know, Fusion Reborn was really neat anyways. At least there it was Goku and Vegeta doing it. It feels a bit pointless with Broly now doing the same but flashier, but, I still like it a lot.

In that case, Goku would have passed out fighting Turles and Yaijorobe, Krillen and Gohan would have beaten him instead.

I thought the list was a fun bad take.

World's Strongest is definitely not the best movie, but it's far from the worst DBZ movie. Sure, the plot is dumb, but the plot is dumb in every DBZ movie. And it's not even that dumb. It's cliche as hell, but it makes sense. World's Strongest had some cool lookin' villains with some interesting gimmicks and some fun fights. I also have a soft spot for the brief era of DBZ before the main characters were able to bench press planets. I'd probably put it at least in the top 5

of all the criticism of the saiyan saga you can make 'the earthlings dont do anything' isnt one of them considering freaking yajirobe manages to save the day

also world's strongest is cool just because roshi gets to throw a punch

I really like Moro being pragmatic enough to just let 7-3 copy his powerset on the off-chance he might need it. If not for random Cranberry killing he'd barely be ticking an of the points on the Evil Overlord list

... Well, 'We'll leave you alive because you're a bunch of weaklings and finish the job later' is a major one.

Watch Moro have set up a wish or some loophole that revives Cranberry well past the point of any fail state fallout, with the instructions to revive him or unleash [Greater Power Level Evil] on the universe left behind.
