"Goku never kissed": Do you take it as a joke or (un)funny trivia?
I want to believe it as a joke and I even blamed it on Toei but even the manga is it so it's probably something Toriyama wrote in... though I wouldn't mind it so much if it was added to improve the story instead of pandering to certain fanbases, like most of Super is like. It's show a lack of profession on the writer's part to blatantly over two pairings (one... really, really shitty) over another and it dehumanizes Goku's character.

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.

Neither.
He didn't say he never kissed. He meant that he never delivered a Senzu in the manner that Trunks just did to Mai. The joke there was the miscommunication with Vegeta. That was all.

I'm still hoping it's miscommunication on Gokû's part and Vegeta's imagination running away with him, as it seems in the anime at least.
With the manga being more direct...I want it to be a setup for Gokû to get a kiss at the end of the arc.

How is Super pandering to certain segments of the fanbase?

If the DBS manga is anything to go by, then Goku indeed never kissed.Anime Kitten wrote:Neither.

Obviously, there is no official canon, and it all comes down to preference, but I don't take the manga as canon. Supplementary information, sure, but something that conflicts or contradicts the anime is overruled. In this case, he didn't say he never kissed in the anime, so in my personal headcanon (and because it's not a retcon), that takes precedence over the manga.Helios518 wrote:If the DBS manga is anything to go by, then Goku indeed never kissed.

I see, you should've clarified that in your original post because that one seems like you were treating it as a fact as oppose to your view.Anime Kitten wrote:Obviously, there is no official canon, and it all comes down to preference, but I don't take the manga as canon.

Apologies. I phrased it as such because I wasn't aware of the line in the manga being so much more direct.Helios518 wrote:I see, you should've clarified that in your original post because that one seems like you were treating it as a fact as oppose to your view.
Re: "Goku never kissed": Do you take it as a joke or (un)funny trivia?
But, if you WILL take the Super series as canon, I think it makes much more sense to give more credibility to manga, since there is more involvement of Toriyama on it than in the anime. Altought we already know Toriyama only gives a little draft to Toyotaro/Toei conduct the arcs the way they want to.Anime Kitten wrote:Obviously, there is no official canon, and it all comes down to preference, but I don't take the manga as canon.

Sorry for bad english. I'm not fluent in your language, so, if you want to correct some mistake of mine, please do it. I'll be grateful

It's Goku so I'm not that surprised.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.
Re: "Goku never kissed": Do you take it as a joke or (un)funny trivia?
It's unfunny trivia. It's not a fact they needed to add, because it "alienates" (ha) Goku so much. Even Vegeta kisses (judging from his expression and the fact that he's married too), so why can't Goku have done it? He has two sons, damn it! But, even though it annoys me, it's said in both the anime and the manga, with the manga being very specific (the deflection theory where Goku thought Vegeta meant mouth-to-mouth Senzu feeding doesn't work in the manga), so there's nothing to be done about it. Goku seriously hasn't ever kissed, that's just how it is.

It's an oddity that people are overacting too. Yes, it's entirely possible, even if unlikely.

You don't think someone not kissing their wife is odd? If it's human to be affectionate with one's spouse, then certainly the opposite would make him less human.Kanassa wrote:It's an oddity that people are overacting too.

''It's an oddity'', ''Even if unlikely''. Being odd does not make one less human, or Goku's character would already be dehumanised.ABED wrote:You don't think someone not kissing their wife is odd?Kanassa wrote:It's an oddity that people are overacting too.

Re: "Goku never kissed": Do you take it as a joke or (un)funny trivia?
It also doesn't make sense from Chi-Chi's perspective. Let's say Goku doesn't know how to kiss.
But are you seriously going to say Chi-Chi has never kissed Goku in 40+ years? How is that even believeable? Chi-Chi was obsessed with marriage and romance, why would she not kiss him?

A unfunny joke. It's pointless and you can ignore it if you want.

Goku is a certified G. Able to make Chi Chi 2 kids and she stills cooks for him. At least it explaines her bad mood

No, never said it was, but it's a big one. This is a joke that stretched credibility too far for the sake of the joke. Goku's had sex at least twice, but never kissed in nearly 40 years?Kissing isn't the only way to show affection
