Lol I love the pic of ChiChi killing Goku. Being married to a woman who plays with swords that's even funnier to me.


(and btw "would of" is wrong, it's "would have" or contracted "would've"...stupid pet peeve of mine)

Since DBO is technically canon, isn't his death canon to?
I loved this one.

Though GTs ending with Goku was pretty awesome.

Not this again...

On the topic, I like Dragon Ball Online's idea of Goku and Vegeta going off to have one last battle. A death worthy of a Saiyan, and an end to the current generation and the beginning of a new one.

*Chi-Chi threatens him with a sword*
Kame-sennin: “I-I was joking…joking!...”

Kamesennin saying he was joking was to not get killed, so his statement still stands.
Chi Chi is the strongest in the universe, stated by a reliable source, so Rocketman is spot on.

:/

How does Goku die in DragonBall Online?

:/
Actions have reactions so don't be quick to judge, you may not know the hardships that people don't speak of.

Wait... what. Do Saiyans have shorter lifespans than humans? Because 64 isn't particularly close to the end unless you're offed early by some kind of accident or health complication. Vegeta's hanging it up kind of early, too.

Not that I really like Goku's Dragon Ball Online final death anyway... I don't think Vegeta's such an important element of his life that a fight between them's the most logical conclusion to his story. Just seems like random fanboy pandering to me.

Appearently Saiyajin stay in their prime longer so they can fight more,but at a certain age they start to age a lot faster than humans

I remembered the bit about the accelerated aging, though I assumed it kicked in later; I figured it started somewhere around the early or middle 80s and the Saiyan would die within the next five or six years. The rapid aging must be a more gradual process than I thought if Goku's worried about it at 64; originally I pictured the rapid aging thing as saiyans practically turning into skeletons overnight, but the aging speed is actually closer to simply being doubled from the sound of it.

IMO Goku should never die. He's not a person, he is all that is good in the universe. I rather like GT's ending for Goku, an ever eternal sense of good who will combat evil whenever it shows up. Goku is much more than a mere man, he's a symbol. He shouldn't die. Or if he does, let him keep his body forever in Other World and allow him to access the mortal realm if ever needed. That would probably be more realistic...

Good Lord that was sappy.

I think if he died he would do it accidentally while sparring or training.

Or in sacrificing his life to save the people of Earth. :mrgreen:
