I heard it as the Brady Bunch song, oddly enough.

Long periods of waiting and short periods of awsomeness happens to be noticed in the tv show, but not in the manga, I am sure of it.

I liked a lot the description of..
"epic kung fu monkey kid flying around the world."

If you dont mention the cloud then it also apllies to the z section quite fine.
kung fu describes the fighting part all right.
and the kid part can be used for gohan and even for thepowerfull gotenks.

A classic kung fu comedy fantasy (animated).

Crazy powerful alien dude flying around and killing evil people.

^Dragon Ball in a nutshell

* A goofy series about an alien martial artist named Goku who was sent to Earth as a baby to conquor it, but ironically grows up to become Earth's greatest defender.

A Chinese Buddhist legend that got exploited for the money. Toei and all of them are greedy bastards. Funimation isn't without blame of the stain of greed either. GREED IS GOOD and greed works. Ask Gordon Gekko.

I wanted to describe it in Haiku form, so I wrote loads.

Goku is the man
Infact, he is not a man.
But a Saiya-jin.

Over Nine Thousand.
Hope my body can take it.
The balls are Inert.

KA... ME... HA... ME... HA!
Shit, Raditz is still alive.
MAKANKOSAPPO / SPECIAL BEAM CANON!

Dragon Boxes rule,
The screen is pretty perfect.
Though there are no subs.

Super Saiya-jin
Strong enough to Kill Freeza.
Needs one more for Cell.

Wide screens spoiled it,
Decapitation galore,
Though they're so damn cheap.

Monkey boy meets girl,
They Meet a Tranforming Pig,
who is a pervert.

Son Gohan found him,
Then accidentally dropped him,
Off of a big cliff.

It was on CN,
I watched it religiously,
Now I have no life.

His balls are so big,
He is very muscular,
Polunga of course.

I wrote a Batman one on 4Chan's /co/ board a while back.

Dense or retarded?
I am the god-damned Batman.
My parents are deeeeeeeead.

Hybrid Man, Hybrid Man
Whines and cries like a pansy man
Let them die, it's not important
Hybrid Man

Is he a wimp, or is he a vet?
Has he seen the elephant?
Or is he deeper than he seems?
Nobody knows, Hybrid Man

Triangle Hair, Triangle Hair
Triangle hair hates Hybrid heir
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle Hair

Universe Man, Universe Man
Head as empty as the universe Man
Usually kind to fellow man
Universe Man

He's got a wife with a giant ass,
Great chichis and an sense of class
But when they meet he's gone again
Maybe he's gay, Universe Man

Noseless Man, Noseless Man
Head as shiny as a frying pan
Lives his life but then he's dead
Noseless Man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with Noseless Man?
Degraded man, Noseless Man

Triangle Hair, Triangle Hair
Triangle Hair hates Noseless' glare
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle Hair

Rocketman, that was special. Thank you.

I need to watch that amv again. Though, this was more entertaining perhaps.

Goku only Kills one thing throughout Dragonball to GT I think.

... Doesn't he go nuts on the red ribbon army?

From what I remember, he actually kills a lot of stuff in DB. Z's where he magically stops. Haven't watched GT to know about there.

Daimaou he killed. It's 3:30 am so others by name defeat me right now, but I know there hada be more.

Aside from all the random RR soldiers, he definitely killed Black, might have killed Yellow, might have killed Murasaki in the manga, and almost killed Taopaipai. He also killed Piccolo Daimaou, Tambourine, Drum, and indirectly got Piano killed. It's safe to assume he probably indirectly got the Rabbits killed, too.

He helped kill Raditz, he almost killed Freeza (and actually did in Trunks's timeline), he indirectly got Kaiou, Bubbles, and Gregory in the anime killed, and he definitely killed Buu.

Not sure about GT, but I'm sure he had to have killed at least one thing there (Machine Mutants, Dragons...?). Plus, he also killed tons of movie villains and henchmen if you count those.

He definitely killed Babi, Super 17, and just about all the Dragons.

I think TaoPaiPai should count. Just because there was a retcon to "I survived somehow, despite my corpse not falling back down because it had been disentigrated" doesn't change that Goku kicked a bomb into his face, watched it/him blow up, then went "lol, ok, what's next?

"

Freeza too, minus the reaction.

Good point. It made absolutely no sense that he survived that.

That's exactly why I included both of them in my list, because he pretty much did kill them, only to have it retconned later so they could make crappy, anticlimactic comebacks. (Well, Tenshinhan vs Taopaipai was pretty good, but it really trivializes the even better fight he had with Gokuu, and all the reactions to his apparent death.)
