WAIT A MINUTE!

Post by Mystic Jack » Tue Aug 01, 2006 6:11 am

I've just started reading the manga of Dragon Ball and I just discovered a revelation, In volume 2, Oolong said: What is he? Some kinda space alien? The morning after Goku turned into an Oozaru. If anyone could say they read the manga before seeing DBZ ep. 1 and was surprised you'll know they're lying.

or maybe I'm just a cenile lunatic? You decide.

Akira Toriyama himself didn't know back then that Goku was an alien. Oolong probley just said that because normal humans don't turn into giant Grandpa killers. :cry:

It's really just a common thing to say when expressing an opinion such as what Oolong must have had about Goku concerning his transformation. I really wouldn't read so much into it. :)

Well, let me put it this way: if you knew a kid with a tail that turned into a giant, red-eyed ape, what would you think he was?

A Saiya-jin?

If I knew a pig and a flying cat who could talk, I'd call both of them aliens. They all live in a world where everything seems to talk and do things normal people are unable to do. I would think a little kid who changes into a giant ape is normal considering my king is a talking dog.

I feel you. So, I'm not the only person that finds it weird for people to see were-monkeys and human-esque aliens as being "different" where as the world is ruled by an anthropomorphic blue dog.

But it's an animated show where anything goes. . .
