I was looking through some old magazines, and stumbled across an 'exclusive' interview with Goku! Thought you might enjoy it.

They were quite accurate in portraying Goku's character, in my opinion.

The interview seems a little dated when was this published? I mean everyone knows Goku's an alien. Plus Goku doesn't have time between training to watch himself on T.V. which is basically breaking the fourth wall.

Not true, there both his biggest fears plus the needles are anime only. As shown in GT Goku suffers his worst fear by being confronted by Chi Chi with a big needle.

W-ell Kami was such a big movie star back on Namek and once he fell on Planet Earth and lost his memory that split into the Dragon balls? I'm not exactly sure where they got that from.

5:30 on Toonami...I remember that.
Heh, the topic title made me think it was about recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction.

Actually, that sounds kind of familiar to me. I believe that's what Bulma tells Goku in the "Path to Ultimate Strength" movie.
There is no better combination in the world than Dragonball, Cherry Pepsi, and Cheez-Its. It's a proven fact.

Don't you have anything nice to say? Holy shit...
I thought the interview was kinda funny. And if I were still 8 years old, I would have thought it was the coolest thing ever lol.

Dang, what a horrible interview. First the star thing... yeah... the guys who made the mag think those are real stars in the dragonballs... that should confuse the hell out of kids and start needless arguements on DB forums...
Goku doesn't know he's an alien, but he knows Kaioh Ken...? Goku uses words like 'prejudice' and gets all riled up on people over the 'other planet' question.
The dialogue was just horrible... maybe that's how 'dub goku' woulda acted.. but geez... I don't know if I woulda swallowed this even if I was a kid...

No, I was just kidding around with an easy-to-make-fun-of scene. Read the end of the parody, I'm not gay. -_-
