I'm more interested in why Vegeta was supposedly checking out naked Goku in *that* episode near the end of DBZ. Maybe it was Toriyama's way of throwing a bone to all the people (mostly girls) that think that Vegeta *really* admires Goku

?

I mean, Goku and Vegeta eventually get married to Chi-Chi and Bulma, and yet the two guys still have a very close relationship... Could Toriyama have been in on the fangirl thinking?

Everyone else was fully clothed, Why OH WHY would he be thinking of Vegeta naked? Homosexuality, of course, he's spent most of his life with men, and prefers fighting or running around naked catching fish. He only married Chichi because she asked and he was all "What the hey", if he even knew about sex before he married Chichi of course he'd be gay.

But Vegeta? Sure, he spent most of his life with a really muscular bald man with a moustache and a hairy smelly(MANLY SMELL) son'bitch, if he wasn't so nerdy about fighting he'd be gay too.
Holy shit there's a lot of gay possibilities for Dragon Ball, lets avoid bringing up that Piccolo x Gohan thing again...
Tenshinhan too, if you had the choice of Training to beat some guy you obviously won't beat or screwing a hot girl who has dominatrix/innocent school girl personalities switching as well as two different looks, what the HELL would you do?!

Don't take me seriously folks.
Though I swear I'm onto something.

Oh baby take off your outline!
Anyway my little cousin didn't even acknowledge Goku's half cirlce of a penis when he was watching my DB DVDs so yeah I guess some kids just don't care.

She rode her motorbike to the sea while wearing nothing but the nightgown. The sea was quite far away from the place the two spent the night.

In the series, but I think most people were refrencing the 10th anniversary movie.

Anyway, who knows? Maybe she goes around without underwear on fairly often so it just didn't click, or maybe she felt it but just didn't draw a connection as to the reason.

Maybe her crotch was numb from... doing something to herself at night and then riding a bike for ages.

Manga or anime...Goku by far is the most exposed character on the series.. lol in the DBZ anime - even more so than Gohan.

Ugh...all of the post-oozaru nudity was pretty uncalled for. Too many baby-dicks and butt cheeks in DragonBall.

I'm not generally bothered at all by nudity...but i think seeing adult Goku's ass in full view (part when it's sticking out the water) at Princess Snake's,, was going a bit too far and kinda disturbing to say the least - they showed his butt hole. x_x

As a kid in DB there are more than enough scenes of him urinating...

More likely that was just the scar where his tail used to be.

Ya that'd be a little too high up for the anus to be.

As for all the nudity in the series. Never cared, still don't. Americans really need to stop that left over "Puritan-esque" reaction they have with it.

I recall seeing it down lower...

I just went back and rewatched the scene in question. There is no trace of of his anus showing at any point.

Haha, while reading this thread, you can see who is likely in North America. Over here in Europe I can see naked people on the beach after a 10 minute walk. It's really not a big deal, it's so funny to see people get so weirded out by it.

That being said, I remember Recoom's butt hanging out a bit after being nuked by Vegeta, which is one of the few times that the nudity is actually "realistic."

It's always funny to see comic book heroes endure a billion explosions and fireballs and their costume is tattered and burned away except for the crotch (and bra, for the women). Marvel/ DC comics are really bad for this.

I know... I live in America, and mostly everyone I know acts like it is the most horrible thing in the world for someone to be even close to being naked.

Obviously people who are under the age of...I don't know, 30, don't care about the nudity. But all those parents who believe that their kids should find out about sex when they're in their 20s mind all the nudity. Then again, you can't really judge until you are a parent. I mean it's easy to say you'd be okay with it, until you actually have a child that you've raised since day one. I wouldn't go as far as to create little riots over it, but hey, who knows. Maybe that parental instinct to shelter your children and try to keep them young kicks in.

^^
Where i have circled is what i thought was his anus...that was, before i saw it in my shitty fansub set - of which the picture resolution is rather fuzzy for most episodes.. it appears it's just his legs start. lol

Stuff like anuses are taboo in Japanese media (except hentai), right?

From the back -

^^^^
I see no trace of where his tail used to be, either...
