Mewtwo looks kind of like Freeza. So he takes the role of Freeza. And the same for the other pokemon regarding Krillin and SSJ Goku. And together, they recreate the scene of Goku going SSJ with pokemons.

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Also, "Mega" Pidgeot's official design coincidentally has what looks like Super Saiyan hair.

I feel like if Freeza fused with Beerus, the result would look like Mewtwo :P

I totally forgot about Steam's "Artwork" subsection for games. Wading through the gifs, server jokes, and fem-pics.

Pidgeot's having meme-merit recently thanks to Twitch plays Pokemon further helping matters. Though its really just Mewtwo and Pidgeot's man.

It's 100% true. He's the excerpt from Dragon Ball: Super Exciting Guide which explains it all:

"To be honest, the way I decided upon the Super Saiyan design was for such a... simple reason that it’d make you go "eh?". I only use one assistant (note 3), who has always helped me. My assistant always had to spend a lot of time blacking in Goku's hair (note 4), so the biggest reason was to save time, since if Goku became a Super Saiyan, his hair wouldn't have to be blacked in. What's more, this also had the effect that one could tell with a glance that Goku had gotten stronger, so it was killing two birds with one stone. At the time, it was made out that he was fifty times as strong when he became Super Saiyan, but that's a little extravagant. As far as my feelings as an author go, I think I drew it with the sense of it being a change of about ten times what he had been up until then."

Wait seriously? (googles the quote). Ohh so it was 100% true. Well the more you know etc. Kinda off topic but its funny to think that probably the most recognized thing in DBZ was created from laziness :lol:

Well, to clarify, it's not the reason that Super Saiyan exists or anything, just the reason for why the hair changed.

Dragon Ball x Touhou

Dunno who the woman that's sewing Goku's outfit is but she looks an awful lot like Chi-Chi.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Looks more like Dragon Ball x Touhou to me. Some of those are rather funny.
