Okay, I lied. They're really well-drawn. *forced grin*

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.

Another interesting point on how Kai has muddled opinions on Z. A poster above noted that Piccolo's charge up vs. 17 lasted over 1/3 of an episode. Well, yesterday (as my kid and I watch an episode a day) we got to that episode. The power up lasted (maybe) 35-40 seconds. Not over 7 minutes (1/3 of an episode), as some have suggested.

You're still blaming Kai, but I've been hearing exaggerations like that for a whole decade.

I am. You have no idea how many times I've heard : "I was watching Kai today, and man...the original "Z" must have been unbearable. It took a minute for Piccolo to power up but in Z it was like 4 episodes LOLZ". People don't realize that Kai left a lot of key scenes mostly intact.
