He even had a whole arc where he realized the only time Goku took him seriously was when he was evil.

Edit: And then he killed a whole fuckload more people but it's all forgiven because he realized being a dad is cool and then blew up. Don't get me wrong, I love Vegeta, but drat.

Wasn't it half mind control mojo?

I really appreciate them telling All Might that Shigaraki is a terrible murderer so All Might is not allowed to confront him as his feelings for his grandparent would get in the way.

I assume you aren't watching Super.

Also his immediate family includes no less than two planet-conquering, genocidal monsters (pre-Bardock retcons), so you know, not even that.

I'm not. Gosh, is Goku a villain now? What a weird show.

And I completely forgot about his dad and brother being as bad as or worse than Vegeta. So yeah, basically everybody on that show was a villain in some way or other.

TL;DR: Toriyama's feelings are "Goku's not really Good, it's more that he does good incidentally because he likes to fight people and just keeps getting pointed in the right direction". And that's kind of started causing issues.

To be fair, though, Zen-Oh was probably gonna delete those universes anyways, Goku's just saved one of them.

It is hard to say how much of this is Zen-Ohs doing as he seems to have an attention span of about five seconds.

Guy did a dangerous experiment on 50 babies he kidnapped and did not even bother checking if any of them survived it. (Only one did and was rescued)

Guy was without a doubt the most depraved character in the series. It's kind amazing he got off Scot free.

I love Orochimaru's dumb ending.
He died, and then came back to life without it being his plan. So he just chilled out and wanted to watch what happened next while considering himself removed from the final conflict.
Then no one knew what to do with him besides keep an eye on him. So he started doing unethical experiments with clones, until he finally got an immortal body. And hes the only one that actually understands the concept of genetic clones vs shadow/water/sand clones so the Hokage Naruto deemed it ok.

He also set up his Sound village as a legitimate one. Really the only big thing that changed with him is that he became interested in watching natural development alongside unnatural development.

people like to say this but it's explicitly not what happened and goku is the only reason any of them have a chance of making it out alive at all. like directly before goku shows up, the zeno's say they're gonna destroy everything and goku asking for the tournament is the only thing that lets one universe survive at the end. well discounting the fact that it's dragon ball and they're obviously gonna get wished back anyway

the werewolf guy pr campaigned goku into being the bad guy to the other universes tho

I always just view that as a desperate attempt to make Goku seem less monstrous then he really is. Anyway there is a new Vigilante chapter out on Viz. I really have come to enjoy just how all the characters act and how generally low key everything feels.

Then that's pretty accurate to Orochimaru, a guy who's idea of science was just kind of injecting kids with stuff. Tree guy cells, monster guy cells...when he was feeling REALLY inspired he put like, wind pipes into people so they could shoot wind. I consider that just injecting them with wind pipes tbh.

Except not at all and he is free to go were he pleases. People just spy on him. He went to Parent Teacher Day. While laughing that was he was to come and go from the Hokage's office as he pleased.

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
So my running theory on that one is The girl is just a bee hive, basically. The actual villain is probably a queen bee or something. Judging by the eyepatch and apparent comatose state of punchman's wife there, she might have been a previous host? pretty interesting implications this chapter though.

Vigilantes once again proving itself superior to the main series. It seems like the arc's gonna get pretty dark and revengey with bee lady apparently having put punch daddy's wife into the hospital, but I like where it's headed so far. Skirt bees is a little weird, but certainly not the worst thing we've seen from the series.
