Goku is a good example of how hard work, self improvement and persistence pays off, and is a bad example for a father.

I mean it's not that surprising. Dragon Ball revels in the gender binary. Men are Muscle Men and Women are Curvy Women and the people in-between are villains or joke characters. So yeah Goku is super popular in every culture where men view themselves as traditionally masculine. Which is a lot of the world.

Yeah, but it doesn't make a bit of difference because the balls are inert.

IN DEFENSE OF GOKU: He did say his presence constantly endangered everyone, dips out for 7 years peacefully, then the second he reappears Vegeta throws a fit and gets Majin Buu spawned.

Goku just wanted to fight the strongest people that have already died from all of space and time. It wasn't until he found out that the strongest people are currently alive that he wanted to be alive again. Only Toriyama could write that.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

I didn’t even watch Dragonball at any point despite being the prime age for it and I’m weeping fat tears seeing how strongly Toriyama’s work impacted people and culture.

There’s an old Sakura Wars stage show where Luffy’s VA sings “Stone Monkey” and while that’s very roundabout I’m gonna listen to it in respect anyway

On the first comment; I’ve known so many dudes who are not anime fans, but they are Dragonball fans. And it’s because they resonate with Goku as a symbol of pushing past barriers and becoming your best self. My one dude does competitive power lifting wearing a dragonball shirt.

On the second comment; Toriyama gave all of us with absent fathers in our real lives Piccolo. I know a ton of people that love that character as an icon of a surrogate father figure. The most recent movie brought him and Gohan back together in a spectacular way and it was great.

when the creator of the dragon balls dies, so too do the dragon balls.

StrangersInTheNight posted:

This is very not surprising, most of the big names in manga die young. The stress of working so hard but being totally sedentary destroys the body. Osamu Tezuka died at loving 60.

Guess we'll never know what happens to Goku in the end. Does he ever become Super Saiyan 34???
he didn't die from "natural causes", he fell and hit his head and that was that.

Only reason you can't be revived is natural causes, it's why Trunks time traveled, his Goku died of heart disease and couldn't be revived. I'm saying there's still a chance.

when I was eight, my friends and I stayed up all night watching the Buu saga. when I was 18, my friends and I stayed up all night watching DBZ Abridged. when I was 28, my friends and I stayed up all night watching DBS: Broly

I don't know what we'll be watching when I'm 38, but I know Goku will, as always, be among my friends

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I got dragged to see the newer Broly movie by a very enthusiastic friend of mine. I was sure my time with Dragonball was long past. Seeing that in theaters is in my top five movie going experiences of all time. It’s a twenty minute set up to an hour long fight scene and it’s completely pedal to the floor the entire time. The soundtrack is just these huge taiko drums rhythms interspersed with screaming the names of the characters. The whole crowd was going pig poo poo hog wild. If you have a chance to see it in a theater full of fans take it.

Goku is an example of hard work and effort letting you transcend your limits...as long as you are genetically gifted to have transcendable limits. Krillin took the correct route of locking down someone way out of his league in every conceivable category.

No TRUNKS poll option, and people thinking you can wish someone back who died of natural causes? This isn’t a Toriyama fan thread. Gas.
