Teen Gohan is only like 12.

No idea how Namekian age works though, pretty sure Piccolo went from a child to a full grown adult in like a year or 2. Also I'm pretty sure they don't have dicks.

Good point, why is dende so thirsty aside from living on water only

Someone has to personify the Thirst aspect in Namekian culture since it's so vital to their existence, and now the Guru is dead.

This is probably going to apply mostly to me, but the is the reason the chichi and goku sex jokes got to me is basically because in my role as a learning disability nurse I've had to research the law on mental capacity tests around consent to sex, which in the uk is a simple test wherein the person must know the mechanics of the act, that the act can make you get stds and that vaginal intercourse can get women pregnant. If you don't pass the bits relevant to the sex act then you legally lack the capacity to consent to sex as an adult.

So first of all the show makes a lot of uncomfortable rape jokes which they eventually walk back a bit on by saying that goku is fine with it all, but then they reach the end of the goten episode (which dragged on the subject way too long) and goku explicitly only finds out when chichi gets pregnant that sex makes you pregnant.....yeah.
My little sister is low function autistic and I can totally get that reaction from the capacity angle but feel like the context of a comedy series about a space monkey kind of undermines it.

I do think that TFS goes over the line sometimes but just don't feel like Goku is that line (that the actual SERIES went for it with Super is rather more odd).

I can completely understand not liking the jokes (I'm not super fond of them either) but for good or ill I don't think TFS is really deviating very far from Dragonball itself when it comes to sex jokes. This is the franchise with a whole bunch of jokes, especially in the original Dragonball which was chock full of that stuff. It's perfectly fair to say those jokes aren't that funny but you're going up against people who are huge fans of the franchise and at least some of them may actually find those jokes funny. The whole "it's different" thing doesn't really land for me in a franchise where plot points revolve around Bulma flashing an old pervert or whatever.

The second chapter of Dragon Ball is about Goku attempting to find Bulma's testicles

Thats the first storyline in dragon ball.

Like I said earlier though, it's about successful delivery when it comes to differentiating the real thing and abridged. Dragonball had it a good percentage of the time. TFS haven't really.

Someone might have to correct me here, but IIRC most of the sex humor kind of stopped by time the 22nd Tournament started, and was only occasional after that.

It was in the beginning, but it hasn't been omnipresent throughout the entire series.

When I was younger, I misread General Tso's chicken as General Tao's, and thought General Tao was a pun on that.

Yeah, the sex stuff was pretty consistent in early DB especially

like the time bulma discovered treasure and hid a diamond in her panties. not only did krillin make a joke about her having a bit more than normal down there, he also sniffed the diamond to see if it smelled

Yeah, I saw Funimation DBZ first on TV where he's called General Tao, then I saw the Ocean Group (?) dub of DB on TV where he's called Tao Pai-Pai, and most recently I've seen the Funimation dub of DB where's called Mercenary Tao. I'm not sure which one I prefer between them.

Yeah, I'm here thinking the same thing. Is it because they're gay? I'm asking this frankly, because the worst thing I can see people taking from it is a gay panic joke, but it's more "thirsty teen comes on to oblivious teen".


Gohan is barely 12 at this point in this series. The Dende stuff didn't really bother me on Namek, but in his coming back they took that one joke and hammered it in 1000 times over.

The joke is funny as a light touch; any more than that and it's just awkward.

It'd be really neat if they rectonned that to be the case. Gohan awoke SSJ Rage back against Cell, then never again. It'd explain why his SSJ2 was so much stronger than everyone else.

How did Vegeta beat up Beerus? Super Saiyan Rage.

How was SSJ Goku able to fight on-par with Frieza? His initial form was SSJ Rage.
