It seems many of us had a similar idea yesterday: celebrate Father’s Day by tearing apart all the paternal figures in the Dragon Ball series! This week on the podcast, in addition to saying our goodbyes to the great Kenji Utsumi, we toss around all the Dragon Ball dads to see what makes them tick. Who is the most involved in their children’s lives? Who is not, but at least has a good excuse for it? With the way Toriyama writes, can anyone truly be considered a “good dad”…?!
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0336! To celebrate Father’s Day, we tear apart all the bad dads in the series. Goku usually takes the brunt of the criticism, but is this fair? Who else ignores their children, and who does the best job in being a part of their children’s lives? Goodbyes to the great voice actor Kenji Utsumi and news recaps wrap up the show.

Hey Kanzenshuu Team! Thank you very much for reading my email about the Harmony Gold dub on this week’s podcast! 😀
I think the age range of people who might buy the rock the dragon edition starts lower than yall predicted in the show. I’m 23 myself, and I believe I was around 8 or 9 when this stuff aired, so I was prime pickings for CN at the time. And my brother was in high school, 30 now, and was a big fan as well. Im guessing Funimation probably figured that the youngest group watching the show then has come of age in all things consumerism, and decided now might be the opportune time to get this out.
