Goku doesn't possess the one-sided, pretentious sense of justice found in American superheroes.
He gets angry when his friends are hurt. He fights because, as a martial artist, he wants to be stronger than anyone else.
That's something any child can understand perfectly well.

it's the most basic power fantasy, while comic book super heroes of the west were busy being dramatic about their past or morals or simping after girls - DBZ was just about settling problems by training and fighting.

Goku is just such a good character. He is gentle and strong, hard working, a family man, wants people to retain a pure essence no matter what life throws at them and always willing to forgive people believing he can change them by example. I think Goku is the key to the universal nature of this show.
>>
>>215558460
they made him too retarded in recent times. I don't think Goku was this dumb in the past, now he's just suicidally stupid and outright letting dangerous mass murderers live just for the sport of it. Yes he always wanted to let people live but not for sport, because he hoped that they would change their minds and get better. These days he lets Frieza live just so he has something to fight. Frieza probably kills millions of innocent people every time he gets let off but Goku acts like there's no problem.

Japs makes their character white skinned even when they aren't whites, so they get the white audience
They make their characters violent, so they get the non-white aduience
They make their characters kiss each other, so they get the female audience

Is not that hard
>>
>>215558730
lots of japs have white skin theyre not all yellow. Like literally if you put their skin in photoshop sometimes theyre pale as a ghost. Sometimes. Not always obviously. And even in mexico there are white skinned women who are Mexican, not everyone is a racial stereotype.

Sorry but that's dub Goku. Jap Goku is a hotblooded Saiyan through and through, he lets Piccolo and Vegeta go because he would have liked more fights with them, them turning into good people was nice but it wasn't the goal.
>>
>>215554878
It was never popular across the Globe, you dumb mutt. It wasn't even that popular in Japan. USA and Brazil were only two hotbeds for that vomit. Pokemon is the first truly universal shonen.

This.
>>215559170
It's the very definition of slop. Absolutely cliched, primitively written, asspulls and no internal consistency. Every imaginable technique to cheapen the animation - stock footage, abundance of static frames, filler episodes with no narrative progression. Easily one of the worst examples of anime and animated products in general.
>>
To his dying day Toriyama maintained that his only goal with the franchise was to entertain Japanese boys.
The universal appeal of DBZ was completely coincidental and irrelevant to its creator.

Because people in here are just fanatical about DBZ. They know Super was slop yet they ate it with joy because it was more DB content. I think even DB AF (the unofficial fan manga) was big as hell in here. I remember seeing entire Mugens made with AF characters kek.

That's why it took decades to make a sequel for it. Dumb retard, DBZ at its peak wasn't as prominent as One Piece in erly zeroes in Japan.

You know absolutely nothing about what you're talking about. You're essentially creating a headcanon for no reason. México has much more DBZ fans than Brasil, lol. Man, you don't know shit about anything, and you're also seething and coping at an amazing rate; more than 9000! I would say.

The proper way to watch DBZ is Ocean dub until Frieza saga and then Funi dub for the rest of the series.

Funi dub is the best version (and possibly the only time a dub is superior to the original.)

Rock music works so much better than the original music and the dialogue is vastly improved.

Youre either retarded or trolling if you think the awkward kai dialogue is better than

It’s machismo and the people who force diversity could never begin to understand that because they’re fags. If you can’t be a man you’re not going to appeal to any race it doesn’t matter who.
>>
>>215561302
>the real question is why did things like GT get so much hate, but this new shit gets a pass?
Because GT is bad. GT has terrible execution of its ideas across the board. If it wasn't for videogames making stuff like SS4 Gogeta look cooler than GT itself did, then GT would be forgotten completely.
>>
>>215554906
Because the latin-america dub of DBZ is more faithful than the english dub. Super is a faithful dub in all languages. If you grew up with english dub of DBZ and go to super, it's going to feel different. While going from the latin-american dub into super, it's just more of the same.

Piccolo is the best character. Any other “opinion” is wrong

Dub tier list:
Any american english dub: usually around 2/10. Raped the series. BIG GREEEN.
Portuguese dub: 0/10; comedy gold.
Latin american dub: 10/10; better than the original.
Japanese voice acting: 8/10; it actually has a lot of mistakes and Goku's voice is weird.
Spanish dub: 3/10; it's ass, but still better than the american "dub".
Catalán dub: overrated as fuck by spaniards who had to take a painful choice between watching Meme Ball Z and Mid Ball Z, this one being just mid. A 4-5/10 depending on the episode.

Americans essentially watched DBZ Abridged: The Dub. Niggaz couldn't even care to translate the text accurately, and changed the ages, personalities and stories of the characters for no reason other than show the japanese people how "alpha as fuck" american culture is, or something. Their DBZ dubs are also censored as shit: there is not one american dub that's uncensored.

DB fags really have to stop pretending their show was anything else other than random people beating the shit out eachother. Thats why it was popular worldwide, random people with wacky hairdstyles beating eachother up is a premise that works everywhere, its not some deep masterwork, its just muscly guys finding excuses to beat eachother.
