Goku's mother...appearing soon?!

[PhoenixEX]

To think that it took 30 years to meet Goku's mother.
Still, better late than never right?

[MagicBox]

If it's supplemental Jaco material, I hope Viz can get it in their online Shonen Jump...

Gine, huh? At least we got the name pun without having to wait.

True. I guess if Vegeta is the star of the next potential movie, maybe we'll finally get his mother in some following interview (or maybe a flashback in the film) too.

Could she still be alive? If she wasn't cut out for fighting, maybe they sent her to the same place as Tarble after she delivered Goku. She'd be pretty old, though I suppose it would be an interesting chance for Nozawa to voice a Dragon Ball character in her natural voice.

Wow, was not expecting anything like that. I guess she would have to look something like Raditz. If Goku was toddler sized in Jaco, than perhaps there is a chance of a slightly-older-than-toddler Raditz...?

Thanks for posting! I'm really excited to learn about Goku's mother and the Saiyan woman in general.

I just got the mental image of a wild haired Saiyan lady taking her five year old to space kindergarten. Thank you.

I've got it! Raditz was at space kindergarten when Planet Vegeta blew up.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fanfiction writers cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Anyway, this is quite interesting. It may not be as widespread nowadays, but think this will finally put the stupid "Selypa was Goku's mom" fan-theory to rest?

Selypa was Goku's mom's sister.

[Tanooki Kuribo]

It'd be funny if she turns out to also look exactly like Goku, like Millhouse's parent's from The Simpsons.

[Daimo-Rukiri]

Woops, it says that they both developed feelings for each other.

Well then...I stand corrected. That does just make Bardock a huge jackass in regards to Goku (until the whole vision thing started). lol

Also, it says she is too nice for fighting. So she's too nice to be suited for fighting, but that doesn't mean she was born with a low battle power. So. I wonder if that means she's weak too, like Tarble?

Maybe, maybe not.
If we look at Goku he was a fighting genius! So, it is possible that his mother could have been strong as well. Well... for the average Saiyan that is.

This is awesome news! Thanks so much for the info! I hope she ends up looking like Fasha


Edit - I thought her name was Fa-sha? I wished stuff like that wouldn't get auto corrected I hate Funimation for getting me all confused! I never knew people claimed that she was Goku's mom! I just want her to look like her lol

Fa-sha is a dub exclusive name for the character that doesn't even fit the pun. Se ly pa= Pa se ly, or "Parsley". Saiyans are named after veggies.

[Chuquita]

She sounds fun. :3 Can't wait to see what her character design is like.

[samuraix123]

Haha yeah I knew they was named after Vegetables but I just never watched the Bardock special in Japanese haha

[samuraix123]

Always love it when Toriyama drops bombshells like this out of nowhere.

I wonder if she'll appear in a new movie?

I don't know if I'd like her and Goku to interact Maybe have her in a flashback?

[DBZGTKOSDH]

That's very interesting! Why not?

[TheBlackPaladin]

Hmmmm.....well, I guess TFS called it on Selypa.

Joking aside, I'm glad Toriyama decided to clear this up. Now I'm interested to know what she looks like.

[eledoremassis02]

She better look like Raditz since Goku looks like Bardock

[samuraix123]

Oh I forgot to add ''Why I wouldn't want them to interact'' Because it just really wouldn't make sense would it? How would that even happen? Would Goku finely meet Bardock as well? Would the two still be together in the after life?
