They needed to have Killmonger do the Naruto run.

MJB loves anime. Killmonger be looking like Vegeta. Like Vegeta, Erik was separated from his people and went to work for an evil white colonizing military force. Coincidence? I think not.

This also just reminded me of the time we had a 10 page derail in Negrotown about why black people like Saiyans and Vegeta in particular. It was good poo poo.

I know nerdy stuff is almost always considered a white male thing, but I've met tons of black nerds in regards to anime and comic books. Which is why I was always perplexed by the lack of representation.

MBJ would have made the Naruto run look amazing. :allears:

Idk if Frieza's forces were really white though. Recoome was. The majority of them were very colorful aliens. The Saiyans were definitely all white dudes though. They willingly worked for Frieza for a while before he whispered "No more Saiyans" and rewrote their reality.

Planet Vegeta was originally Planet Plant

The Saiyans left their home planet of Sadala after thoroughly wrecking it and murdered all the natives of Plant. Freeza showed up later offering them cool technology if they came to work for him, and they did so willingly.

Pretty sure that was filler that got retconned. Toriyama explicitly said in an interview that the Saiyans came to Plant and killed the Tuffles.

Frieza, a broker who forcibly takes over planets to resell them, was created around the time of the Japanese economic bubble and was inspired by real estate speculators, whom Toriyama called the "worst kind of people."[2] Toriyama purposely does not draw bad guys so unscrupulous that it affects one psychologically, although he admits Frieza is close. Therefore, he paid special attention to how Frieza spoke; because villans typically speak rudely, he gave him polite speech making for an unsettling contrast with his cruelty.

From wiki. So frieza was never modeled after people

Yall.

Author intent don't matter.

My original post was about why black folks relate to Saiyans. If you don't get why we relate to an enslaved Prince who is all about "Saiyan Pride" idk what to tell you.

If you want to try and tear it apart with dumb questionable canon to ruin the connection that black nerds have to that character, you should probably sit and think about why that is for a second.

Also willing to bet a poo poo ton of Vegeta fans are hoteps and ankh niggas haha
