Goku's Charisma

Post by The S » Wed Feb 11, 2004 6:00 pm

I just realized that Goku must have a lot of charisma. I mean, look, many people who wanted to outright murder him (Piccolo Jr., Vegeta, Buu, etc.) end up becoming his friends (well, Buu's was because of Satan, but he's still Goku's friend)! I have a lot of friends, and a lot of enemies as well, but I've never made a friend from an enemy. How does he do it...?

I think it's just Goku's idiotic, naive innocence that grabs people. Just like Homestar Runner...

I've made 1 friend from an enemy. Good times. Although, I've turned a friend into an enemy as well, so... don't give me a point on the charisma scale. Heh.

I disagree with putting Piccolo in there. It was being around Gohan that changed him. As for everyone else, well ya, it's true, even Kuririn started out as his rival.

Just like Homestar Runner...
...? I'm not even gonna ask...

But still, the point is he became Goku's friend as well. I'm not saying that all of them changed because of Goku, I'm saying they ended up his friend...

How so?

Well, there's the fact you're saying you've got a whole lot of people out there who would like nothing more but to see you suffer, and there's a band of people who are your truest friends.

No wait, we're all like that. My bad.

I'll take that as "Who is Homestar Runner?":

Tell 'em I sent you. Or not, because they'll just look at you strangely if you do.

For your information, that's the greatest site on the planet. Homestar being a little weird or not, I won't stand for you insulting it!

*Goes back to staring at his Homestar wallpaper* Heh heh heh...

Ya but coming from you Zacko, the one who takes pleasure in actually carrying out his death threats, I'm not sure that's such a good thing. :P :wink:

I have checked it out, and it scares the Hell outta me... almost as scary as The Ring.

But hey, your opinion's your opinion...

Goku can win over a lot of people and yes his charisma is part of it, you just have to see him in DB to se eit its not that hard. He won over Yamcha, Krillin and Vegeta for christsakes. And Piccolo was won over by Gohan who used the same Goku like charm, so really if he'd been given the chance it may have been possible for Goku to win Piccolo over too.
