MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 8/3/26!)

[coola]

The teacher in Season 1 is female and not in a relationship with anyone. You might be thinking of Nephrite, who Naru has a crush on but he's just using her to get to Moon. To me their relationship became more of a Piccolo-Gohan dyanmic, rather than anything sexual.

I thought he took over as a teacher for their school, no?

I mean, yeah, but that's my point. He was just using her, but I still find that whole dynamic as...really iffy because he's still posing as an adult while she's like 14.

Similar thing happened in Card Captor Sakura manga

Spoiler:

At least in that case, teacher said "You are too young, and i'm your teacher"

As for that infamous Sorbet almost killing Goku, i might be wrong, but, it seems like even through manga, surprise attack does way more damage, even from weaker opponent that couldnt scratch them before, and Sorbet even used piercing ki blast

I don't think he was ever a teacher, maybe you mean the tennis coach episode?

Either way, the narrative, and the Sailor Senshi agree that he's fucked up and just using her, so the the show still portrays it as bad. Like, I agree with you the way the 90s anime handled Usagi and Mamoru isn't good, but I'm willing to forgo this on because Nephrite is a POS who does die and thankfully Naru moves on from him.

Hey MistareFusion if you somehow catch up in the future & there is no more Dragonball manga or anime to cover would you actually go back and do a Dr Slump Dissection spin off. Just curious

I admit I haven't given it much thought. I bought the first couple of volumes of Slump about 20 years ago when Viz started putting them out, but I never continued past that. So I'd probably have to read it first.

Maneuvering the Multiverse - Dragon Ball Dissection: The God of Destruction Champa Arc Part 1

Welcome to a whole new universe, both for the characters and for Dragon Ball! When another god of destruction shows up, it completely shakes up what it means to be a denizen of the Dragon World... or Dragon Universe? Dragon Universes? But the fictional world isn't all that's expanding, as the manga itself begins forging an identity and expanding its page count! We talk Toyotarou, Dragon Ball AF, and the multiverse in today's Dragon Ball Dissection!

It's a whole new arc, so let me know what you think and what you want to make sure I talk about as I keep going!

I remember that 2004 April Fools prank. That made me realise my account is 22 years old lol. :O

Almost expected a 6-7 meme when you were talking about Universes 6 and 7.

Regarding Sailor Moon, Michael Jackson is said to exist in the Sailor Moon universe while Bubbles is in Dragon Ball. So clearly the universes are one and the same!
