Gokû-isms: what would Gokû call the other Artificial Humans?

Post by JulieYBM » Mon Feb 07, 2011 6:48 pm

Having just finished up the Muscle Tower episodes it occured to me that later on Gokû was able to say the other Artificial Humans' names easily. Heck, #16-20 are even more difficult to say than 'Hachi-gô'.

So, would we see 'Jûro-chan', 'Jûna-chan', 'JûHa-chan', 'Jûkyû-chan' and 'Nijû-chan', or do you think Son drop honorifics? :P

Thoughts?

Goku was able to say the other Androids' names easily because he had matured a lot since then. Heck, in the Boo arc, he knew what the word "symmetrical" meant, which confused Goten and Trunks.

I guess it's not clear, but this is supposed to be a fun little thread. No need to apply such overt logic to it. ;)

You're probably referring to the one(or two) instances, where the Elder Kaioshin is called Dai Kaioshin.

In the manga Goku calls him Dai Kaioshin, when the old geezer offers his life to Goku.
And in the anime he's called Dai Kaioshin, when Base Vegetto fights Boo and probably some other episodes.

But in Daizenshuu 7, he's confirmed to be the East Kaioshin of 15 generations ago(IIRC).

I know Goku was probably just using "Dai Kaioshin" to show respect (since the guy was offering up his life for him), but you could also say he sort of "took" the role of the Dai Kaioshin since East Kaioshin was the only current Kaioshin left and the East Kaioshin from 15 generations ago was much older and therefore much more intelligent than him.

He's always done stuff like that. When he was a kid he brought Roshi all the way to Baba's Palace just show him Bulma's goods.

That was Krillin's plan, not Goku's. Goku just did what he was told.

Goku's an adult now, who's banged Chi-Chi at least twice. He said Bulma was hot, asked Kaioshin if he cared if she was middle-aged and said that he didn't offer up Chi-Chi to get felt up because she was flat-chested. He damn well knew why Roshi and Kaioshin liked women by then.

Well, we at least know that he wouldn't be able to address #17, seeing as we only saw them meet at first in GT and that was Super 17.

I think he has matured much beyond the stage of giving things and people goofy names.

Also, nice find Piccolo Daimao, I probably wouldn't have been able to come up with a conclusion like that. It's fun to see Kakkarot's views change as he ages.

I think some of you are confusing "immaturity" with "intelligence." Goku's immature but he's by no means an idiot. If anything, he's a moron.

In the anime Goku is a retarded adult, but in the manga he is quite a clever man... :?

I think you might be thinking of GT. :lol:

In not considering any filler, Kakkarot doesn't really waver in personality from Manga to Anime form.
