Was in love with it since it was first revealed. It's been looking inconsistent in Super but last episode re ignited my love for it!

One of my favorite Goku moments is when Superman lobotomizes him their DB rematch.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

The same GT where he denounced he was Saiyan referred to himself as an Earthling?

A small fuck up to tolerate for having him showing the capacity to care about stuff other than fighting and being all-around much more mature than in basically anything else he's ever appeared in. The Goku from Z & Super would never manage to tame Golden Oozaru and become an SS4 given how much of a selfish prick he is who'd probably eat Pan before stopping to remember a *le gasp* a non-fighting related event.

Today I attended a live FLOW concert at an anime convention! Oh, and not just FLOW, but they had Hironobu Kageyama himself and together with FLOW they gave us one awesome Head Cha La performance!

Sadly... because it was very late at night and I got tired and I have another convention to visit tomorrow and it was an hour and a half drive trip, I had to sacrifice the JAM Project concert. But hey, Hironobu Kageyama and Head Cha La? What more would I ask?

Ay, he was pretty good in the Saiyajin and Namek arcs. He made some jerky moves but that's when I felt that his characterization was at its best.

Why would Goku dedicate Freeza's defeat in memory of the Saiyans, knowing how evil they themselves were?

I guess he wanted to honor his Race. Maybe it was only for Vegeta, which would've also been for the Saiyans.

Does he actually say that in the manga? I know he does in Xenoverse but in the manga I don't remember him mentioning the Saiyan's besides the time Freeza comments on how they were even worse than him.

What? He never goes that far. He does say he'll defeat him for all the Saiyans he killed, as well as the Namekians, but he's not so much talking up or pardoning the former as he is acknowledging his heritage and that destroying an entire race of people is generally wrong. He's also just seen some humanity from Vegeta and come to respect his pride.

But, yes, he does specifically say "for all the Saiyans you killed, and all the Namekians." It's just after Freeza kills Vegeta, before their fight really kicks off.

I know you find the Original Dragon Ball boring, but how did you like him then ?
I have borderline personality disorder, if my posts ever come off as aggressive or word vomit-y to you, please let me know.

Is it any coincidence that both "Z" no Chikai and Yoka Yoka Dance, both by girl groups, get so much hate? :|

I like him best when he's got interesting, preferably bad people to play off of, like how he's the only actual good person in the Hunt for the Dragon Balls arc whereas everyone around him are assholes :lol:

Beyond that, he's a total non-entity as a character for me until the Daimao arc has him show a darker side to his personality like wanting revenge and going to great lengths to get it.

It's probably because they're generic, upbeat idol pop, rather than the gender of their singers, if that's what you're suggesting?

Because plenty of other intros and outros with female singers in the various Dragon Ball series have been well-received.

But they're not. Well, not Chikai anyway. I'm listening to the same song as everyone else, and I'm pretty sure it leans towards being dark. Far, far from generic.
