Couldn't Black just be the Goku from Universe 6 since Beerus brought Earth 2 back at the end of the last tournament?

I'm still going with the idea that Black is just Goku revived by Zamasu by pouring his god ki into him. Dude needed a dead Goku for that so he went to an off-shoot timeline where he was already dead. The show invites you to come up with more theories by pointing out the holes in its own anyway.

Piccolo was like eight years old himself at that point, cut him some slack

If you started the series with the early Kid Goku stuff it's not really unusual to be more into Goku than his son.

At least here in Germany they showed the series starting with vanilla flavour Dragon Ball first and I always cared more about Goku and wasn't annoyed with his son not being the martial arts savant his dad was.

18 satying home while Krillin and loving Roshi of all people go to fight Freeza is the single most annoying part of Super for me so far. In lieu of Goku and Vegeta, she would have been arguably the second, maybe the third strongest fighter showing up to that battle. Have everyone on Earth not named Gohan and Piccolo swing over to her house and protect Marin with Krillin, she should still be more powerful than all of them combined.

Didn't 18 straight-up say to Krillin she's stronger than him and it's probably better for her to go fight but then just stays home because she's super into her tiny hubby acting macho?

She also never really was into that whole fighting business, whereas Krillin trained to be a martial artist since he was a child. I'm more bothered by Videl quitting martial arts forever to be a housewife and literally nothing else. Like, just give us a shot of her still training even if it's just as a hobby and not to be some earth defender in one of the more slice-of-life episodes and I'll be happy, that's all I ask for.

here's how you can tell that Krillin loves martial arts and Gohan doesn't:

Krillin keeps his gi ready in case space aliens invade earth and he gets to dress up as a kung fu master again

Gohan doesn't even remember where his gi is anymore

i quit the early DBZAbridged stuff after like episode 3 because i found it really unfunny and only really started at the beginning of the Freeza fight

Right, that must be it. I'm pretty sure I remember the first episode ending with Raditz kidnapping Gohan then Goku and Piccolo teaming up to go after him.

It's a pretty weird series to jump straight into because I it assumes some familiarity with Dragon Ball, but I can only imagine how odd it must have been if you'd watched or read the whole way through Dragon Ball and then Goku is straight up killed in the first big fight when he'd been pretty much invincible for most of the original series.

in his last two big fights he lost three limbs to a green man, King Piccolo kinda set the trend for Goku barely etching out victories

I don't really get why the Viz translation makes a point of saying the Chinese name of the Kikoho would be Chi Kung Cannon or something similar.

Like, sure, okay, but why for this attack only?

agreed, all attack names in Dragon Ball should be in Chinese

lol it's like Funimation thought kid's brains would explode if a character name has more than two syllables. Like they wouldn't be able to get the names right for their parents to buy action figures or something.

The German dub tended to just call several characters by their full name all the time, so Goku was always called Son Goku and Tien was always called Tien Shinhan. Or is it actually just Tienshinhan as a single name and the English dub just shortened it? gently caress if I know. the Turtle Hermit was also called Muten Roshi but I think that's just what Turtle Hermit is in Japanese?

Attack names were also usually kept in Japanese so I still think of the Spirit Bomb as the Genki Dama.

I couldn't remember what Kami was called in the German dub and the German wiki is referring to him inconsistently but I think they just called him God

Dating a professional baseball player was the highlight of her life, and she cries at night having to sleep next to the jobless streetfighting bum who knocked her up when she threw him a pity lay (after aforementioned baseball player cheated on her again).

It's a shame there wasn't more Vegetto, he's cool.

I'm glad there wasn't more of him, honestly. The whole arc would've felt a bit hollow to me if it hadn't been Trunks actually ending the fight, and after last week's preview I fell for the fake-out since Vegito is usually a big deal and fusion versus fusion was pretty much the only other sensible climax.

Retconning the potara fusion is pretty whatever but we got the narratively most satisfying conclusion anyway so I'm fine with it.
