Yeah, but you need to present actual arguments or evidence to support the idea that the reason given isn't the real reason, which you haven't done beyond asserting that there could be a conspiracy.

You don't need to worry about anyone else -- you're the problem here, right now. Others will be dealt with appropriately by the moderators.

You've given us all absolutely nothing to work with beyond irrational and illegible posts. Did you expect something else in return?

(Also, please knock off the two or three posts in succession. You can leave everything you need to say in a single post, even if it's to multiple people/points.)

All I've been trying to say is that there "could be a conspiracy." NOTHING else.

Yeah, but anything "could be" a conspiracy. Unless there's any actual evidence that it is though, it's a complete non-issue.

For all I know there could be actual Saiyans living on a planet thousands of light years from here. Saying something could be true without any evidence at all is utterly pointless.

But it is an issue. Why do SSJs have blonde hair and blue-green eyes? Why not other colors? Fine, I understand that Mr. Toriyama was too lazy to color in the hair, but who knows for sure? Is he really that lazy?

Anyway, I'm done. I give up. I wish I never wrote anything.

Yes. Yes, he is.

Okay, I'll throw in my two cents and say that I don't consider it to be a complete waste to consider far-out issues like this, to speculate wild conspiracy theories with other fans, just for fun. But I would say that a little bit of consideration into how you present such a topic goes a long way, and that's why this thread hasn't gone over so well.

You’re asking questions that no one can really answer.
Why’d he choose blond hair and green eyes rather than other colours? We’ll never know. Maybe it was just the most aesthetically pleasing look to him.

Is he that lazy?
Probably. Having drawn comics on a regular basis, I can tell you that you start to look for ANY shortcuts you can find.

You were told why, and you chose to ignore the answer. Instead you chose to continue spouting support for irrational conspiracy theories based on absolutely no evidence.

I think by now this thread has really served any purpose it may or may not have had in the first place. We have the answer for why Super Saiyans look the way they do; it was easier on Toriyama by not having to ink-fill in Goku's black hair so much. Do you have to believe it? No, I guess not.

Regardless, the answer has been given several times at this point, and the thread is headed nowhere but downhill. Let's try to keep the attitudes in check, folks.
