Are we gonna ignore that "Yo! Goku Son and Friends Return?" came out a year prior to Evolution? And Toriyama was involved?

Heck, they ended up reusing many model sheets there for Super

Ki basically means spiritual or life energy, and we know magic exists in the series as well. It's funny enough treated pretty generically (see power levels), to where it's used in attack names (Ki-enzan, Gen-ki dama, etc) So living creatures of innately higher energy would probably learn how to use ...

Yeah it's just bad
And that's ignoring what he did to Puar before the arc to "cure" himself
Puar needs therapy

Oh no doubt both Transmen and Women suffer heavily, I'm just noting how it's rooted to toxic masculinity

Back to Dragon Ball, I really didn't like Super's "attempt" on fixing Roshi prior to ToP

There's also the fact that Toei (and maybe Toriyama? Hard to say if he wrote the other filler, but manga already was iffy for Blue) toxic masculinity can be seen in queer rep Sailor Uranus and Neptune? Healthy couple, differing personalities and fashion taste, one has a sick car General Blue? Is bas...

Honestly what gets me is that Super started with 2 arcs based on the immediate prior movies Like that could've just been a flashback, because both movies already were too padded out enough, but no...2 full arcs I honestly can't recall many shows doing that, ut just seems like a waste of time and res...

There's too many factors to say he lost his touch now . Super is similar to GT in external marring. Basically: He's like Seth MacFarlane for Family Guy at this point That said... -Never liked the humor that much. It was ok in Dball, but even it started to be too haphazard by the General Blue arc. Ar...

Seeing Enigmo sneak his way in here distresses me We do have to be careful though in how we color correct though. A lot of film to tape edited media will have lighting conditions shift per scene given time crunch + different studios working on an ep. And that's without factoring analog effects! Like...

I guess I have 2 1, Not really a fan of the term "Ki" being used in English. It's literally just energy in Japanese, not some "hyper specific technique" It makes less sense to treat it as strictly a martial arts technique given all the aliens know it. It's not mystic, it's just e...

I'm honestly shocked no other territories have done anything about the reprehensible shit Roshi gets up to in these episodes. Even Funimation's TV edit of the show mostly leaves this material intact. Err, no Funi censored Roshi's antics more than Harmony Gold for the 1995 BLT dub. It was only after...

I honestly felt if Popo was offensive to anyone it was going to be the Arab culture since he dresses and acts like a Genie. Middle Easterners don't care for depicting the middle east as "exotic and magical". On the contrary, they love it, are captivated by it, or just ignore it. Mr. Popo'...

Honestly not annoyed by accents unless it's a racist caricature. In fact, I find it a massive issue in modern dubs (and even OG Japan) where everyone notoriously sounds similar or from the same region. The voicepool being stuck in Texas/Tokyo only for dub/sub gets annoying after a while But back to ...

Goku doesn't rely on smelling someone scent anymore and doesn't rely on mind reading to know what someone is thinking, both are actually great skills. A Saiyan tail only has weakness but no positive, which I believe isn't true. Goku tail saved him a bunch of time. Here are examples: - Goku dodge Gi...

Destructo Disc being forgotten hurts. The fact Solar Flare is "Krillin's ult" technique now, despite it originally being Ten's is stupid. Though his upgrade on it to where it masks his energy is nice

I wouldn’t consider Goku being an alien a retcon either because nothing stated he wasn’t an alien and at least Oolong guessed that he was. The only real argument I think is Roshi apparently always knew Grandpa Gohan found Goku in a space pod and he never once, even internally, thinks about Goku bei...
