2025-03-08 01:40:26 +0000 UTCUntrue. Just because Toriyama said it doesn't make it any more real. He forgot a lot of things but he only needed to give his own manga a read to see that Goku in z was almost exactly the same in manga and anime. The only difference were some speeches and lines. Goku in the manga allowed Vegeta to live so he could fight him again... Same in the anime. In the manga Goku was not "excited" in the traditional sense when fighting Frieza, he was angry and was fighting on behalf of the namekians and Vegeta at the start and then with fury because of Krillin. When Goku fought Cell he wanted to end him. He even implored Gohan to finish the job multiple times. Against buu it was a mixture of having a good fight and saving the planet. If Toriyama wanted to make Goku not a necessarily good guy then he simply failed at that... Goku has been a good guy in manga and anime too. Goku in super is the same as always, a good guy who wants to fight... But Toriyama decided to make him extra stupid and that is just a mistake on his part and nothing more.

2025-01-20 09:03:42 +0000 UTCAkira Toriyama himself said in an interview long ago “There’s how, basically, Son Goku from Dragon Ball doesn’t fight for the sake of others, but because he wants to fight against strong guys. So once Dragon Ball got animated, at any rate, I’ve always been dissatisfied with the ‘righteous hero’-type portrayal they gave him. I guess I couldn’t quite get them to grasp the elements of ‘poison’ that slip in and out of sight among the shadows. At any rate, I wanted him to have the sense of being that rare guy who seeks only ‘to become stronger than before’, so much so that it feels like ‘there’s no one as pure as this person’. And while he does end up saving everyone as a result of that, he himself at least has a very pure sincerity about ‘wanting to become stronger’. What I wanted to depict the most was the sense that he might not be a good guy at all, although he does do good things as a result.” So it’s not Super that misunderstood Goku, it’s the Z anime that did. That’s why Goku giving a senzu to Cell to pummel his son harder and force the fight to continue felt out of character in Z, because it was one of the cases where the anime didn’t try to sugarcoat the direction Toriyama wanted for the character. Or how Goku knew he could kill Buu but purposely didn’t, endangering everyone. Or, or…

2025-01-20 06:16:02 +0000 UTCThis is where gokus character gets really iffy morally, he really doesn’t care about any universes getting wiped barely even his own, otherwise he woulda just asked Zeno to take that rule away. If he listened to the wolf he definitely would’ve listened to goku.

2025-01-20 03:59:20 +0000 UTCThis (and the character designs) are why I don’t like the majority of super. I don’t think characters, especially Goku, are depicted correctly. Hit however, is my favorite thing to come out of it. It’s dope watching you both watch it though. Been binge watching all your reactions for almost two months now. Glad I subscribed. Always nice hearing my favorite Prince of all saiyins get his respect.

2025-01-19 21:51:25 +0000 UTC“Isn’t your universe weaker than his?” Not necessarily. Mortal levels are not just based on fighting power. From what I understand, it’s a measure of how balanced and thriving a universe is. Having power helps keep things in balance, but only indirectly
