Bacterian's job is cook

Post by coola » Sat Dec 04, 2021 9:44 am

Finished reading Dragon Ball Full Color volume 3, at the end of it we have Toriyama talking about jobs/hobbies of 21th TB and i was surprised to see Bacterian job is cook. How desperate you have to be, to hire someone who never took bath? And have him prepare food?

Perhaps the restaurant was recently featured in Kitchen Nightmares and had to get desperate due to lower business afterwards

Pretty sure the Piccolo Daimao filler shows him as a street bum, so he must not have cut a living wage from it. That, or it was shut down.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.

I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

The food quality and hygiene at wherever he worked was probably still better than most Maccies, KFCs and kebab shops I've seen.

That scene was actually pretty creepy, almost anime Imperfect Cell level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFUFlI2k8ZA

Going on a tangent but I think the Daimao arc and Saiyan arc were Toei’s best work in expanding and improving on the source material. Shame they did a 180 on the Namek arc.

The change seemed to be an effect of Morishita taking over as the producer. I definitely agree with you, I think that it was a real shame that they didn't flesh out the Namek arc more with new plot threads. When Nishio and Koyama didn't mind contradicting the comic they were at their best.

What I wouldn't give for more storylines like the orphans or Fake Namek.

The scene with Wolfman's body flowing down the stream was even creepier

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I thought I had dreamed that scene, I love it, its so creepy and scary, the perfect testament to the cruelty of Piccolo Daimao. The wolfman corpse scene.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

Watching the Saiyan arc right now, and 100%. I love or even just like the majorty of filler. Same with Daimao. It adds so much to those arcs.

The Wolfman corpse scene is one of the more unnerving scenes in Dragon Ball. I also love the filler reveal of him actually having a cute girlfriend once he's revived.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.

I think that's the ironic gag. Would be like having Muten Roshi as an HR rep for Capsule Corp. Or like having Vegeta as a team building coach or something.

He probably uses his stink for flavor.

He's a beautiful man. No surprise there.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
