Was Roshi ever pure of heart?

So I’n reading through the (Viz) manga for the very first time. Karin says that he gave Roshi the Kinto’un that he would eventually pass down to Goku. But what would Roshi even do with it? He can’t ride it? Should it be inplied that Roshi was pure-hearted at one point before the series started?

Re: Why didn't Kami have Goku find Piccolo Jr. before the tournament?

Well Piccolo needed the three years to get stronger. He fought Goku once and lost, obviously. Although why Kami let him run free for three years? Probably because he wasn't technically guilty of anything yet, with it being stated that he committed zero murders during those three years. Okay, I can ...

Why didn't Kami have Goku find Piccolo Jr. before the tournament?

I guess I'm just not understanding why Goku and Kami didn't find Piccolo Jr when he was a kid and take him out then, as opposed to waiting three years for the tournament. I know Goku loves a good fight and a good rival but one would think Kami would want to eliminate the threat as soon as possible. ...

Anywhere online where I can stream English Dubs uncut?

Every stream I come across is the Nicktoons version. I know Kai is edited slightly in and of itself, but I'm looking for he version with the Japanese attack names, profanity, etc. I can't find it whatsoever. Anyone got any links? I'd greatly appreciate it.

You'd have to have them salvaged much, much sooner than that.
True. I thought of that, just didn't type it in.

I completely disagree with that. I think it's completely stupid and adds to the complete disrespect that Gohan's character was given post-Cell.

Re: So this is how I would change the last arc of the series

We all know that the Buu arc has tons of problems. This is how I would completely change it. 1. Leave Goku dead after sacrificing himself for Cell. Let it actually mean something and let Gohan be the main character. 2. I would keep Goten and Trunks, but never let them transform into Super Saiyan. I...

Is the Dragon Ball anime just as slow paced as DBZ?

I've never experienced the original Dragon Ball in its entirety. I'm at the point where DBZ is near unwatchable due to its pace, so I was wondering if the DB anime was better paced or if I should just read the manga.

Re: Z Movie patterns (Things I type when bored.)

In spite of being a very early Z character, Vegeta doesn't appear in a Z theatrical movie until the 6th one. Did Toei think he wasn't gonna catch on or something? This is probably due to him being a villian Even though he worked with the good guys, it was temporary. They probably put him in when it...

Sorry. By boring, I meant that I've read through it numerous times over and over yet never finished. I like to restart things from the beginning, so it's my own fault.

What's the best way to experience DragonBall?

I was watching the Saiyan saga and Gohan made a reference to Goku fighting Piccolo. I kinda felt weird that I never finished DragonBall, but it just seems so boring. However, I plan to go through with it. Should I read the manga or watch the anime?

Can anyone find me this scene?

It's the scene where Vegeta is by himself and he just got beaten by Android #18 and he's yelling in anger and powering up in the mountains in his Super Saiyan form. I'm 99% sure it wasn't in the manga. Does anyone know what episode this is?

...when compared to other sagas? I've seen some opinions around here about it, but I just don't see it. By the way, I haven't seen all of the original DragonBall, or read it for that matter I'm slacking...

Re: What's everyone's problem with the English music?

I was introduced to DBZ by way of Funimation, so I grew up with that version. So I can't really see the problems that everyone has with it, probably because I'm used to it. Also, I've never watched the original Japanese. Is it really that bad? Please understand, that question is VERY much based on ...
