I was officially done with the Super anime after one scene.

Post by DBZAOTA482 » Fri Nov 27, 2015 12:17 pm

It was the one where Goku had to go pee pee...
I mean, it was just so embarrassing... watching our childhood hero almost piss his pants like some 5 year old despite being physically in his early... mid? late... 30's? Who the fuck knows, it never gives a concrete time period. It assumes you've watched BoG and RoF thus know everything.

Anyways, this is something I'd probably see Kid Goku doing but Teen/Adult Goku should know better.

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.

I'm twenty-five and always have to rush to the bathroom. Grown-ups appreciate the relief of a great pee just as much as anyone.

From what I've read and people I've talked to, needing to suddenly pee does become more and more an issue as you get older. Mid/late 30's isn't 60's, but it's still a thing.

My next big testing point for Super is if they hopefully keep the hand holding teleport that was both in the movie and the manga.

Goku has never fully matured. It's a joke, that's the joke. :P

Whis forced him to hold it in during the trip to Beerus home. It was played as joke, not that it was funny. I don't see the point of this thread.

So you're gonna stop watching the anime because of one silly scene?

I thought Goku was in his 40's in Super.

I think it's that his numeric age that's 39/40, but his body didn't age while he was dead so it's still in its early 30's.

I don't know what exact year Super is in right now, but Gokû was born in 737.

He should be 42 (35 physically).

The anime was already on really thin ice as it was so... yeah.

Many thanks!
I only know a couple character ages off hand (Bulma being four years older than Gokû and Vegeta being five years older than him making Bulma 46 and Vegeta 47 in Super.)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't really keep track of the character ages very well. It's hard when they're not really stated too often in-series...or when they are them being wrong, like Bulma's birthday. :P

That said, if all it took to make you be completely done with this series was just one silly scene, in a series that has many of them...well, more power to you I guess.

Indeed I was so tremendously embarrassed when that fictional character needed to rush to the toilet like so many real life humans do.

It's not the fact he had a potty emergency (even though it was uncalled for in the first place), it's how he acted... nearly pissing on the floor with no shame.

I didn't mind that.

Vegeta wearing a pink apron and making sheets, however... ugh.

This is the same guy who would run around without his clothes on and not give two shit's.

Really? That isn't even close to being one of the worst scenes in the show, in my opinion. The only thing bad about it was just the fact that it wasn't funny or even noteworthy, but it was harmless.

Are you defending Maid Vegeta?

Being butt naked is fine, given his primitive background, as long as he remains indifferent to the notion. Wearing a pink apron is purely done to shit all over the character because it's "funny."

Re: aprons and Vegeta

It was a little much for me because we'd just had pink apron Vegeta two episodes prior. ^^; They need to space that apart better.

If anything, it leaves me curious about what episode 22 will be like. That's the next one Fukushima wrote. I do like his Gokû (because I really enjoy/I'm an easy target for "Gokû being cute."), but I worry for his Vegeta.
