#goku is not dumb

[arkolovesgoku]

i’m going to go on a small rant about dragon ball super Goku

so the first ever dragon ball show i watched was dragon ball super cause at that time all i had was a school chromebook and an illegal website (😭) which had very limited anime to watch.

they only had dragon ball super. no dragon ball, dragon ball z or gt. so yeah, i started off getting into the dbz fandom by watching the worst series in the entire franchise (according to other people)

at the beginning i was super confused, like, “what?? he has a son? a wife?? two sons?? am i missing something?” but i pushed through and i absolutely fell in love with dbs.

it was that series that got me into dragon ball and everything, and i have a huge amount of respect towards it. it has some pretty good arcs, especially the TOP arc. but as i went back towards the beginning, watched og db and dbz, i started to realize that dbz Goku was not the same as dbs Goku.

Goku. isn’t. stupid.

well yeah, he’s still kinda dumb (and i find that absolutely adorable), but not to the point where he doesn’t understand the most basic concepts of anything that isn’t fighting.

i refuse to believe that his level of understanding is that of like a 5 year old toddler.

so to make super a bit more bearable, i have a little headcanon.

Goku just acts dumb because he finds everyone’s reactions hilarious.

like in ep 42, where Beerus disguises himself as Monaka (probably filler but still), i like to think he pretended not to know that Beerus was actually in the costume and internally had a wheezing fit seeing the destroyer put on an uncomfortable outfit.

actually, i think he just went along with the entire “Monaka is the strongest warrior i’ve ever fought” thing because it’s funny seeing Beerus panic

also Chichi’s probably in on his little secret too.

I still say that Light Yagami is the literal dumbest character in anime.

Anyone that actually knew fucking anything would have realized individual criminals arent a problem and could have made the world a better place with less than two dozen names in his funny murder book.

Not to mention the fact he got caught AT ALL is one of the dumbest scenes in anime where this little shit is like NUH UH to a broadcast and needs to show off his magic murder book to the world.

Light could not out think his way out of a wet paper bag. Goku could beat him in chess after eating half the pieces. Luffy could out debate him. Literal dumbest anime character.

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

Gochi shenanigans and a happy memory :D

[homefryboy]

GT: goku becomes a kid

Super: pilaf gang becomes kids

Daima: you become a kid, you become a kid, you become a kid, EVERYONE BECOMES A KID

I mean, kinda... a little bit? With the poofy orange pants?

(just ignore that there's already a goku/sun wukong equivalent in this game that probably woulda fit the joke better).

Took me so long thanks to me being so busy on discord but I'm finally done

Oh yeah here's their colors also dialogue I wanted to put but never did because I wanted to finish this before I sleep

I love drawing gokus outfit it was fun

[gokubrain]

Did u know that besides "like a ballad of love" there's another official song that's blatantly about vegeta's feelings for goku? It's called "memories - an evening (or night) without him" and it's even more romantic and beautiful than the other imo. I've listened to it a lot <3. Song: youtu*be/mQkChCzRbYo?feature=shared / Lyrics: dragonball*fandom*com/wiki/Memor%C4%ABzu_%E2%80%93Yatsu_no_Inai_Yoru%E2%80%93 (I really hope they give us another vegeta->goku song just to complete the trinity hehe)

FGHJKRFGHJGH??????? H ELLO??

i was not aware of this oh my godddd......... do you people really expect me to believe vegeta is in love with a woman when theyre out here writing songs from his pov like this lmfao helpppfgjhg i'm losing it rn

[fippydarkpaw]

Look I just think they'd get along, OK?

these credit sprites from Dragon ball:plan to eradicate the Saiyans guide OVA

the OVA may not be that good, due to its connection to being a videogame tutorial. but hey it's still interesting, and some cool sprite work. also being written by the same person who wrote classic Broly, ain't helping. it's a nothing burger but still interesting.

if anyone is curious about Hatchiyack still, either emulate one of the games, watch a let's play or watch the raging blast remake, since it has better story structure.

I personally enjoy that Vegeta's vanity lives on in the fact that you won't catch him dead in SSJ3

The Cell saga is so funny. Because it's literally a bunch of dudes making mistakes upon mistakes and facing the consequences for their actions
