This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

It refers to a stereotype that all black people like grape juice.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Ah, I see, maybe it's accidental racism, and they were just pointing out that Namekian's all have purple tongues.

This is probably something to do in US, but still, how is it racist?

Personally, I like grapes, but grape juice that I've tried before didn't like the taste, so I'd take water over grape juice.

It's a popular thing in Dragon Ball community for Namekians being the black people of DBZ.
GT isn't bad, just sucks ass in comparison to the other 2 animes.

I'm surprised a show as old as JLU scored a million total viewers.

I'm assuming the reason it and WWE got such high ratings was that they were first on the block. That, and JLU and other shows in the DCAU have a huge fanbase.

Cubix, Rescue Heroes, Iron-Man: Armored Adventures, Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal all aired before WWE and JLU ...

This is a little offtopic, but did they skip an ep of JLU? After checking wikipedia, Hawk and Dove is supposed to be 4, and I missed last weeks stuff because my family cancelled my recordings for that day.

No, Wikipedia has it wrong. Hawk and Dove is the 3rd episode.

Oh, wow. Am I the only one who noticed some edit suspicious dialouge when Cold and Freeza landed? I think Cold talked about ending Trunks instead of killing or defeating.

Next thin we know, they'll censor Goku slapping his wife through the wall (while wearing something that resembles a wife-beater), and punching his son in the face but show Yamcha getting impaled by Dr. Gero. :|
