We used to be a civilized people
Sorry but scenes like this are too problematic to western... "investors" to be included in modern anime and manga.
No matter what you guys say, there's no good explanation for why this moment was necessary..
>>289864794Yeah colored pages seem rare in newer manga.
>>289864842*Sees 90s-2000s western boy nudity by comparison*
>>289864842I like seeing female nudity. That's why fanservice moments are necessary.
>>289864842Because it's sexy. That's a pretty good reason.
>>289864842even if we exclude the obvious meta reason, that the audience/reader wants to see it, this scene helps characterize all of them. roshi is a pervert, bulma is ambitious, and the turtle is a coward.
>>289864846They're literally not though>>289864965>Bulma is a whoreI fixed it for you
>>289864987shes willing to do whatever it takes, including being a whore. she risks her life too, she spends a lot of her family's money...
>>289864987Post modern colored pages that aren't a reprint in color.
>>289864842because it was funny. they went to the trouble of setting up the whole situation for this punch line.
>>289865011Nobody said white. They said Western. There's many colors of people in the West.
>>289865066From today's issue of Jump
Umine the Island Inn referenced this shit like a week ago almost verbatim, stop being a turbofaggot
>>289864842japs are just pedo freaks
>>289864794That chapter was the hottest thing I've ever seen as a kid. I now have a folder of just porn of Bulma lifting her dress to reveal her naked lower body
>>289865341That's fucking amazing, I'm gonna read it now
>>289865359>being attracted to a sexually mature woman is pedophiliaKill yourself
>>289864842A pervy old man who gets his comeuppance on regular basis is a funny trope.It's not like any of them were ever written in a way that was supposed to normalize this kind of behavior in real life.
>>289865341That's a nice butt
>>289864842It was needed because the mangaka wanted it to be there, kill yourself with your retardation.
>>289864794It's funny how much of a slut Bulma was in her teenage years.
>>289865844All teenage girls are sluts
>>289864891this is all there is to it
>>289864842It was funny, that's it
>>289864872It's a huge double standard that male child nudity is funny, but female is not. Both are wrong.
>>289866261Neither are wrong, they're both awesome.
>>289866338Anon I'm talking real children.
>>289866382why would you do that, and on /a/ of all places?
>>289866382Why? Nobody here is talking about real children.
>>289866382I'm talking about Bulma and Goku. Please kill yourself.
>>289864794The original Dragonball is some pedo unc shit, this is why we only acknowledge anything from Z onward and disregard it.
>>289864794Did she shave? Did dude see a bush or a clam shell?
>>289864794how old was she here?
>>289866642>Z onwardIt's the same show. They only added a Z so they could get some money from the network for rebranding, you just skipped half of the show because you're retarded.
>>289866683She's Japanese, she had a full bush for sure.>>289866715If there's fluff on the muff she's old enough
>>289864842It’s to emphasize that Bulma is a shameless slut who uses her body to get what she wants.
>>289866642Sexualizing a sexually mature woman isn't pedophilia. Kill yourself.
>>289864842It's funny, it's an action comedy manga, it needs to have funny things happen in it
>>289865066Care for something sweet is full coloreven beyond that magazines have a few series each week get a color page, although generally not recreated in the volume.i'm pretty sure OP image however is the opposite, it was never originally in color but they made full color editions of dragon ball
>>289866715>i'm attracted but what if the fictional girl is the wrong age
>>289864842Roshi is a huge pervert and Bulma is sluttish, it only makes sense that she does something slutty to get something from Roshi. She didn't know that she had no panties on.
>>289864842you are an autistic retard
>>289867201>i'm pretty sure OP image however is the opposite, it was never originally in color but they made full color editions of dragon ballThe OP picture is from the kanzenban edition which predates the full color edition by many years. The kanzenban edition has that scene in color because it was in color in the original magazine.
>>289865470Sure but the fact that it's a gag at all does normalize it in a differemt way. The way you're thinking about it is a situation in which the work says it's okay for the perv to perv out by having everyone or the text itself encouraging it, but the one others are talking about is a hahari or brook or miroku type where there is some pushback but no one is actively condemning them for it, an "it's just how they are, at least they're not sickos like THAT guy" kind of situation
>>289865341This post should kill the thread but you're all bait-addled retards that get dopamine from roleplaying (you better not be serious) being pathetic.
