Goku's mother...appearing soon?!

[Gyt Kaliba]

Not sure if was a responds to me. But I was being sarcastic. But ya know. Internet kinda doesn't show that. To me honesty. Good Saiyans have make good character development for the Saiyan race.

It was a reply to you and penguintruth both, but more specifically just about the whole 'Good Saiyans ruin everything' mindset in general, really.

Well if we start to get to many then it kinda make some contradictions. Due to Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz's statement.

I'm quite excited to see Gine and I think it can only help the Dragon Ball universe. I doubt she'll play a large role in any future stories (being featured at the very end of a gag manga after all) so why not? This is a mystery that I don't mind being solved.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

I just never watched the Bardock special in Japanese haha

Mate...watch that thing in Japanese. You'll never want to touch the English version again.

Do it. Do it NOW.

[penguintruth]

I just get the feeling they're going to try to explain Goku's personality through his mother, instead of the time-tested tradition of him having fallen into a canyon and hit his head.

Much of his personality comes from BRAIN DAMAGE. That rock he hit his head on is his mother. I want to see Goku visit the rock every Mother's Day and put flowers around it.

[Scarz]

I am ready for this... For all the wrong reasons.

And thats why we love you.

I'm sure they (Toriyama?) might do something like that with regards to Gine's personality influencing her son's because that's just a common theme inside and outside of entertainment media. Don't you think that it would be fitting that Goku's mother's personality shares some commonalities with her son? I can understand the trepidation and anger you feel of exposing the mystery but I think at the end of the day something like this can only help and not harm.

Can't wait to see your drawings.


On Topic:
When are we getting Vegeta's mother?

Um. Goku was a brat and a fucking horrible child. Until he bumped his head and turned good. I don't see how Gine caused that. I don't know why or how Gine could have been the cause of Goku's persona if Goku was evil until he hurt this head.

[Akumaito Beam]

Vegeta's long lost brother, Bulma's long lost sister, Super Saiyan Bardock the Time Lord and now we get to see Goku's mom! They really need to just cut to the chase and dive head first into Star Wars expanded universe levels of stupidity if they are going to do this shit to Dragon Ball. As soon as we see one of the past villains return with robot spider legs I'm outta here.

[Gyt Kaliba]

And thus we are all reminded of the real reason that what Goku's mom looks like was needed - to inspire Scarz.

[Kaboom]

What part of "gentle, not suited for fighting, and being romantic" is so much like Goku, anyway?

Goku is gentle when he's not fighting....if that counts for anything.

...Well, it does sort of bring Evolution's Goku to mind...but...let's not go down that route.

No. I don't want Goku's personality to come from his parents, that's an even easier out than the brain damage.

"He gets it from his mother."

No. The whole point of NOT explaining it away as him inheriting his parents' personalities is to make him more interesting and less common like ordinary people are. Goku isn't like anybody, even his own race, except in liking to fight (but he likes it differently than Vegeta). That's what makes Goku interesting, FFS.


Am I reading a completely different manga and watching a different show than some of you? Do you not get that what makes Goku interesting is that he's quirky, not just that he's strong?

[Tzigi]

I am ready for this... For all the wrong reasons.

If it wasn't for your latest part of Tenshihan&Lanch, I'd be actually afraid that we could get an out of character Gine. But now I'm sure it'll be all right. And I'm waiting eagerly for this.

Also I like that fact that browsing Kanzenshuu today has been for me like this: "Oh, here comes someone with a crazy rumour, let's see it dismissed by the mods... Wait, it's actually true?". And it happened twice in a row - Goku's mom and Vegeta's possible major role in some potential Toriyama-made story.

Am I reading a completely different manga and watching a different show than some of you?

If you see Goku as gentle and disliking fights, then yes, we're reading different, even contradictory, mangas.

If this is what you're extrapolating from my posts, there isn't a drink powerful enough to drown my sorrows in.

[Gyt Kaliba]

This doesn't automatically mean that they're trying to say he gets it from his mom rather than the brain damage though. There's nothing yet to suggest that they're throwing the dropped-on-his-head thing out the window, I don't know why you're so quick to overreact like they are. And as far as the Goku being quirky being what makes him interesting thing, you're completely right. That's what I like about him too and is what makes him stand out - but again, there's nothing for sure saying they're trying to tamper with that yet.

[penguintruth]

They will. They tamper with everything.

It happened with Bardock, it'll happen with Gine.

[NormalHero]

ok.. and then we will need her in db heroes as ssj, ssj2, ssj3, ssj4 and ssj god
if episode of bardock 2 comes out maybe we can see her..
