Masako Nozawa is a robot in a Star Wars show

She plays T0-B1, a droid who wishes to be a Jedi Knight.

Considering Star Wars is reportedly one of Toriyama's influences on the later stage of DBZ, this feels right.
"Don't take pleasure in destruction!" / "I will not let you destroy my world!"
A true hero goes beyond not the limits of power, but the limits that divide countries and people.

Dragon Ball is the Japanese equivalent to Star Wars so this is fitting.

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.

In what way? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just intrigued.

I imagine OP doesn't mean literally but moreso due to cultural impact.

Even then, its not really a good comparison. Gundam is probably closer to the mark as a SW analog for Japan in terms of anime that impacted the culture in a similar way.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

I feel like years ago I heard some anime youtube person compare Garzey's Wing to the Prequels and I haven't been able to get that out of my head since then
