I don't think so, but I'm sort of a fan of the trope, so :think:

If you think Dragon Ball abuses it, you've never read Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo. Blood sprayin' all over the darn place.
I think it's just an anime thing. All of the shonen stuff I've seen does it.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

TheGmGoken wrote: Hell YEA! I thought Bojack Movie would have done this. I see no reason why Goku even NEEDED to be in the movie.
Because both the audience and Gohan needed a lesson, they needed to be told that Goku truly loves his family, but it is not his task anymore to protect the Earth, it's Gohan's. And they needed that lesson from Goku himself.
If Goku hadn't appeared at all, people would have thought "and meanwhile, Goku didn't even give a fuck, didn't even know his son and friends were about to join him, and was happily laughing with Kaio in the afterlife instead of realizing the disaster at hand".

So Goku needed to be there to give closure to the audience (and Gohan) and clearly state his passing on the torch (which he didn't really put an emphasis on during his "post-Cell Game" speech).
When he looks down on Gohan in his arms, it's almost like he looks at the camera and the viewers as well, and he says "You need to move on and forget about me! Get in your head once and for all that I won't be here to save the day even when you think I'll be here somehow at the last minute! I'm gone, deal with it, and stop counting on me!"

Somehow, like Gohan feeling his dad will somehow be here, the viewer is led to believe that Goku will ultimately get back on Earth for a decisive, final blow on something (through scenes showing him getting more and more worried, and if scenes show him building up his urge to go into the battlefield, it must be for something, right?).
He finally gets back on Earth to save his son, and Gohan and the viewer are like "That's it! He's finally here to save the day and defeat them all!"... and both of them get scolded by Goku himself saying "let's make it clear once and for all: I don't know why you were thinking I would come up and save the day, but I won't. It's not my role anymore to beat the bad guys."

Goku needed to be in that movie to have that sort of "he'll be back" climax building for both Gohan and the viewer, only for both of them to get the lesson "Goku's not the main character anymore, you were wrong to hope and shall not make that mistake again". This leads to Gohan understanding and in the next few seconds, becoming the hero (Super Saiyan 2) that will replace Goku, as both Gohan and the viewer come to the realisation that Gohan can and will be the new savior from now on.

Looks like I needed to be spefic. What I meant was that he didn't nee to save Gohan in my opinion. It ruined the movie almost. He could have watched. Goku could easily play a spirit guide role for Gohan. Similar to Avatar Roku to Aang. He could still be in the movie but not be IN the movie as in the action part. In the same case of Movie 10 I think. I wished Gohan and Goten won without Goku.
So Goku needed to be there to give closure to the audience (and Gohan) and clearly state his passing on the torch (which he didn't really put an emphasis on during his "post-Cell Game" speech).
The way he passed the torch was MUCH better in the Cell arc than in Bojack. I know in Bojack he told Gohan to stop being a whiny brat but the way it was done in Cell arc was MUCH better, As Goku was really passing the torch.
Goku, as both Gohan and the viewer come to the realisation that Gohan can and will be the new savior from now on.
The movie made it felt like GOku is the one who saved the day indirectly. Didn't really add to Gohan's being the new savior.

We've had two Bardock spinoffs. I say we give someone else a chance.

Personally, I want to see a movie about Piccolo Daimao's first attack on Earth. Give young Roshi a chance to shine.

Oh yes. Prequel specials showing the other stories. The history of Freeza's species and how King Cold, Freeza and Cooler came to rule, young Roshi and Mutatio during the King Piccolo Wars, King Vegeta's conquest of Planet Vegeta and how the saiyans met Freeza, the adventures of the Ginyus in space, all that crap.

And for the love of god no more Bardock, unless the next special involves Freeza's other strong ancestor murderstomping this weak excuse for a Super Saiyan.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

There's a scene in Looney Tunes: Back in Action where Shaggy and Scooby are not very happy with Matthew Lillard's performance in the first Scooby movie, and say they're coming after him if he goofs on him in the sequel. Would like to see that done with a cartoon Goku and Chatwin.

All music scores released.

And complete DB related product documentation. That's pretty impossible.

Full length English versions of the various opening, closing, and insert songs sung by the FUNimation voice actors on CD. Something similar to Songs of a High-Spirited Saga, I guess, only using the original instrumentals. It'd probably be a licensing nightmare.

Yes....Excellent.
Soon everyone shall know that the Piccolo Daimao Arc is the greatest in the series. As well as making sure everyone accepts the truth of Piccolo Daimao being the greatest villain in the franchise! :twisted: *evil laughter*

Ahem, ahem, anyway. What I would like to happen is my hypothetical Dragon Ball Musical damnit! :x It'll start in Japan, then an English adaptation will be made faithfully to be shown on Broadway. Just use the search function for the two threads on it.

Uncensored Viz release of the Kanzenban, with a new adaptation by Steve Simmons. I'm actually still holding out on buying the manga since I know the English release is passable at best.

Premium DVD Boxset with the entire Filipino dub of Dragon Ball and the first 35 episodes of Dragon Ball Z.
I don't even care if it's not remastered or the footage is over saturated and cropped, but who knows...
Just maybe we will see the dub someday...
