MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 7/6/26!)

[coola]

The teacher in Season 1 is female and not in a relationship with anyone. You might be thinking of Nephrite, who Naru has a crush on but he's just using her to get to Moon. To me their relationship became more of a Piccolo-Gohan dyanmic, rather than anything sexual.

I thought he took over as a teacher for their school, no?

I mean, yeah, but that's my point. He was just using her, but I still find that whole dynamic as...really iffy because he's still posing as an adult while she's like 14.

Similar thing happened in Card Captor Sakura manga

Spoiler:

At least in that case, teacher said "You are too young, and i'm your teacher"

As for that infamous Sorbet almost killing Goku, i might be wrong, but, it seems like even through manga, surprise attack does way more damage, even from weaker opponent that couldnt scratch them before, and Sorbet even used piercing ki blast

I don't think he was ever a teacher, maybe you mean the tennis coach episode?

Either way, the narrative, and the Sailor Senshi agree that he's fucked up and just using her, so the the show still portrays it as bad. Like, I agree with you the way the 90s anime handled Usagi and Mamoru isn't good, but I'm willing to forgo this on because Nephrite is a POS who does die and thankfully Naru moves on from him.
