He wasn't even really forgiven, people just let him stick around afterwards without talking about it. Terper fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Dec 13, 2017 |

Relevant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeYIlET3szA 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 mean, basically the entire cast of Dragon Ball aside from Goku and his immediate family were villains at one point or another.

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

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.

Fabricated posted:He dissected children as one of his main hobbies 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.

It wouldn't be the first time the Japanese got a free pass performing unethical experiments on human beings because their knowledge was deemed useful.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Goku' s midlife crisis is getting multiple universes deleted 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

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.

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.
