Re: Goku Staying Dead Was Perfect
Cell very nearly destroyed Earth because Gohan was too busy toying with Cell to end the fight right away. His first stint as The World's Strongest™ and he already gave the bad guy the chance to cause a disaster. The only reason Earth didn't get destroyed was because Goku was there. That was a mista...

Re: Goku Staying Dead Was Perfect
That was a mistake Gohan vowed not to repeat hence why he was happy that Cell came back so that he can kill him the way he was supposed to. Goku would never undergo this kind of change hence why Gohan was a better protector than him. I said as much in my analysis. And now we're going in circles. Be...

Re: Goku Staying Dead Was Perfect
For Goku's excuse of "I attract the bad guys" to really track, it would have to be the case that, were you to replace Goku with (someone more like) Gohan, the bad guys wouldn't have showed up. The Crane School showed up at the Tenkaichi Budokai because they wanted revenge on whoever 'kill...

Re: Goku Staying Dead Was Perfect
I respectfully disagree with pretty much all of that. Goku's character arc isn't about personal responsibility "I attract bad guys to earth" really doesn't gel with Mr. Please spare Vegeta so I can have a rematch some day Mr. I'll let Freeza power up to 100 percent to test my new strength...

Goku Staying Dead Was Perfect
Not only was Goku staying dead at the end of the Android arc a great send off for Goku but it was also the great culmination of his character up to that point. Goku thinking the earth is safter without him, and passing down the torch to his son who developed into a better protector both physically a...

Goku's character arc in the Android Arc is DEEP
This post is also about why DBZ should’ve ended at the Android Arc. During the Android arc, Goku learned a single scientist from the RRA army Dr. Gero survived his one man assault on them and created super powered Androids to kill him. When Bulma brought up the idea of stopping the Androids before t...

Why Goku Staying Dead is Much Deeper Than You Think
Goku thinking the earth is safter without him, which was the perfect culmination of Goku's adventures up to that point, and passing down the torch to his son who developed into a better protector both physically and mentally than Goku can ever be (Or as it seemed at the time), showed how wise Goku h...

Re: What’s the name of that Tournament Goku hosted and commentated on?
That was the "Nippon Ijin Taisho 2007" feature showcasing a tournament to decide the mightiest "great person" throughout all of Japan's history. The competitors include Benkei, Himiko, Prince Shotoku, and Amakusa Shiro. We have a page that I thought was live, but apparently neve...

What’s the name of that Tournament Goku hosted and commentated on?
I remember seeing it years ago, during the earlier days of YouTube. The tournament starred real life people and Goku was the host/commentator of it. Does anyone here remember it if so can I find it on YouTube? I tried searching for it but nothing came up.

Grandpa Gohan's Influence on Goku's character
This seems like something people don't notice, but Goku developed into the character he is today because of Grandpa Gohan and no not only because he made Goku hit his head/ There's three key moments that Gohan shaped Goku. 1. Goku hated the training he was doing with Roshi during the first tournamen...

Re: Goku Went Through A LOT of Character Development in the Cell Arc.
Goku doesn't become more cautious over the course of the Cell Games - at all. And even if he did, that's damn sure gone by the end of the manga when Goku and Vegeta fight Buu without the Potara or call on Gohan for help. Goku is hungry for battle from beginning to end. He's aware of his hunger for ...

Re: Goku Went Through A LOT of Character Development in the Cell Arc.
I agree on almost everything in fact except in the last part all very well with that gohan is better protector and more human than goku especially he understood this. but that "Goku attracts the villains" is not the best way to convey the message besides it makes me understand that goku d...

Goku Went Through A LOT of Character Development in the Cell Arc.
There's so much to unpack about Goku's character in the Android arc that it amazes me and a shame that no one does: During the Android arc, Goku learned a single scientist from the RRA army Dr. Gero survived his one man assault on them and created super powered Androids to kill him.

Re: Why Doesn't Anyone Notice Goku's guilt in the Cell Arc?
wanted to teach Goten and Trunks fusion instead of destroying Buu himself, doesn't that show that he's changed because of the Cell arc? Could have stopped Fat Boo as a Super Saiyajin 3. Decided to leave it to two brats barely out of pull ups. What shows he changed? Because if he stayed longer in Su...

Re: Why Doesn't Anyone Notice Goku's guilt in the Cell Arc?
I don't think I've come across any fan who doesn't seen the context of that scene and not realize that it portrays Goku as feeling quite guilty for letting his desire for a fair battle cloud his better judgement of the grander scheme of the conflict between Cell and Gohan. It's more to do with the ...

Why Doesn't Anyone Notice Goku's guilt in the Cell Arc?
It's pretty obvious. Goku's reaction of pure shock after Piccolo told him his mistake with Gohan. Goku saying actually saying he's sorry and saying he never expected things to go like this during the Cell Jr's attacks. Goku saying Gohan is more reliable than him when he decided to stay dead. Surely ...
