I’m fine with Mr. Popo because he’s (thankfully) not depicted with any black stereotypes characteristically and his design is too well-established to change. But you can’t give any excuse for this. You _know,_ we all _know_ Mr. Popo’s design isn’t based on Toriyama’s rendition of a djinn. It’s VERY CLEARLY a racist caricature and I think anyone being mad at it is completely understandable given Toriyama’s problematic track record around the time he was making OG Dragon Ball.

Been saying *title* for years! I mean if you didn't know Z was coming, there are points in the Daimao arch (King Piccolo) where Goku is presumed dead, and NO One left has a chance of stopping his remaining kids let alone him. It was looking like Roshi's flashback round two. The Dragon being killed is just peak dark. The evil guy is hammy, but gene savvy. Goku's fights against him are some of his toughest in the whole franchise, arguably the first opponent he was completely out matched by when they first met, (his heart was stopped and long enough to read as dead when a pulse was actually checked for by the fiend) and after power ups he had to put everything he had into that last iconic punch. It's a dark detail in the much, much, much later Super filler training episode "The Forest of Terror"DBS Ep. 76 --where Goku and Krillin go all Jedi Tree scene to improve themselves and face constructs of past villains which are brought to existence by their fear--that the Piccolo's that appears is Daimao, not Piccolo at the 23rd Tournament . Krillin was dead before Daimao made the scene. The older Piccolo is there bc of GOKU.

The 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai is one of my favourite arcs in the whole Dragon Ball franchise for its payoffs, character writing and inspiring many future fights and character arcs in the series. Goku's fights with both Tien and Piccolo are just fantastic (and two of my favourite fights in the whole franchise!) I still get goosebumps of hype when Goku takes off his shoes, wrist bands and under-shirt then does that badass warmup as Tien can only look on at how far Goku has come. I like to see it as when Goku takes off that weighted junk he is wearing (like a snake shedding its skin) It is Goku shedding his past self and giving birth (though all his wins, loses, pain, and his training with Roshi and Kami his journey has taken him) into the kind, wise, disciplined, World Martial Arts Champion he is about to become. I'm also in the camp off that I don't see Goku refusing help as selfish. The lad has been trying to win the tournament for the past 10 years and was his current dream! For his friends to jump in and get Goku DQ would be a disservice to the lad. Not only does Goku want to win fair and square (as he was always bought up by Roshi to do), but Goku knows damm well that if any of his friends step in, Piccolo could just easily kill them all, even in his weakened state. Goku would happily keep going through Piccolo's excruciating torture and pain over 9000 times over then let that happen to his friends. One of the best arcs in all of Dragonball and my favourite version of Goku.

"When i was a kid I always saw Dragon Ball as being appropriate for younger viewers." I'd say it is. It was made for "young boys". "I mean Kai aired on Nicktoons" A rather mangled version of it did, but yes, technically it was on there. "I'm sure you're all aware why Dragon Ball Z would've developed some very unwanted childhood trauma, but what about original Dragon Ball?" ...it's the same thing...you're talking about one series, not two separate ones. Dragon Ball and Z is just a series that gets a name-change partway through. The original comic is just Dragon Ball from the beginning of what the anime calls Dragon Ball to the end of what the anime calls Z. Whatever you should expect in Z you should expect in Dragon Ball and vice versa. Why would you think one is 'the goofy one" and the other is not? Personally I wouldn't say there's much in the way of "Yamcha sucks" moments throughout the series. Pretty much anytime he loses is due to him getting put up against people that pretty much no one stands a chance against at the very start of every part (and then when he does actually win against his Saibaiman during the Saiyan Saga he gets tragically killed). It always sounds really weird to me when people talk about Dragon Ball and Z as if they're two separate things. Considering this an "ending" to a series is just bizarre to me since it's just another saga before the next one starts.

I read all of the manga as a kid, not a single nightmare and grew up fine. My dad made sure to teach the difference between fiction and reality and my parents didn't try and overprotect me or cover my eyes and ears, they focussed on showing me what the world actually is or can be, and tought me to deal with it. Long story short, it's not the programme but the upbringing, and overprotecting kids only screws them up later in life. Recently rekindled with the story of Dragonball, there's a real story about friendship and bravery in there. I enjoyed it even more as an adult.

After finally watching OG dragon ball like 6 months ago, I feel that its probably overall my favorite out of any of the series, largely because it feels (obv excluding ki and stuff) somewhat relatable with the tournaments and such, as a martial artist. It's also just dumb fun while still having enough serious emotion to create a compelling story, something Z did very well too, although in an often darker sense.

honestly I’m more surprised that Dragonball never went the route of becoming a full-on seinen, which is unironically a missed opportunity, also the reason that the original Dragonball is as stupid as it is, is due to fact that it was originally intended to be nothing more than a mere parody of martial arts films at that time, until it ended up skyrocketing into stardom to the point of making Akira Toriyama into a billionaire
