why would he do that
OP is a woman
>>220244488goku has been a retard all his life. he fell on his head as a toddler and he never went to school.
Chi-Chi... can I interest you in a senzu bean?
After the events of the Saiyan Saga and Frieza Saga, Goku basically realizes that he and all of his friends are effectively immortal and there's no consequences for his actions. At that point he was no longer fighting for survival, he was fighting for the love of the game.
>>220244488>Cell, injured and tired, gets intimidated by Gohan's power>Feels desperate and blows up himself and EarthGoku did the right thing, Cell became overconfident and got BTFO (but then Gohan got overconfident).
>YO! It's me Goku! So Thragg... you said the Viltrumites are strong?!?>Yes we->like really really REALLY strong???!?!?>the strongest in the universe>and you need humans to create more strong guys!?!??>Indee->Exciting!*instant transmissions away**instant transmissions back*>Chichi: uh? what's goin->Yo Thragg!
>>220244488To make Gohan desperate and to stop Cell from suicide bombing Earth out of spite (though it happened anyway because Goku didn't account for Gohan playing with his food out of spite).
It wasn't as well written or as well thought-out as the Freeza Saga but it was fun.
>>220244842That’s not true at all. If Piccolo or later Dende dies they can’t revive anyone at all. Cell was going to destroy the planet. Goku truly believed Gohan would win, but then Gohan started toying with Cell.
>>220244488Toriyama (for whatever reason) was mad at the idea of Goku being a wholesome and heroic character so he deliberately made him act like an evil retard from time to time.
>>220245656Your post doesn’t even make sense. Goku has always been battle crazy but still a nice guy. He wanted to push Gohan to reach his limits. He knew Gohan could beat him. That’s not an evil act. You’re getting it mixed up with the original american Z dub adding in “Ally to good, nightmare to you.” and all that stuff.
>>220245656Stop watching the dub which is a fanfic
>>220244488He knew Gohan was close to SSJ2, and just needed the right push to reach it. Cell was tired from fighting Goku, but still strong enough to defeat Gohan in a drawn out fight. Cell had to be at full power to have the proper gap in strength to give Gohan the right push.
>>220245656Goku is definitely a hero at times because he won’t watch others suffer in front of him but he’s also definitely stupid in more ways than one.
Goku is so based for that
>>220245651Did you forget about Namek
>>220245726Toriyama said Goku was "too heroic" in the japanese version as well
>>2202444884d chesshe didn’t expect cell to be able to literally shit out babies
>>220245209God, I want to fuck fluffy hair Bulma.
>>220244488>why would he do thatYou've never played an online vidya, and given a guy the advantage just so you can style on him and embarrass him into his grave?
>>220245725>>220245726what is said in the dub thats different? >ally to good, nightmare to youthat sounds illiterate
>>220245802The only person who can reach Namek is Goku with IT. The only reason Earth is able to come back during the Pure Buu fight is because Supreme Kai needed to help Dende go to New Namek or else all life in the universe would be wiped out and fuck up all the balance and everything.Also no one can leave Earth to theoretically get to New Namek during the Cell fight even if they could get there because Cell was going to blow up the Earth after the fight.
>>220245865Funimation dub had Goku say the infamous “I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth... Ally to good! Nightmare to you!" line to Frieza. Kai fixed this.In Japanese he says “ As you are surely well aware... I am the Saiyan who came from earth to defeat you. Despite my calm, quiet heart, I am the legendary warrior awakened by intense anger... I am the Super Saiyan, Son Goku.”
>>220245167KEK! He said that!
>>220244488People meme on this scene a lot but canonically Gohan never minded. The others freak out but Gohan is like "whatever, I know what Dad is trying to do".
>>220244488honestly, they were both retarded. Cor all Cell knew, it could have been a trick to try to get him to eat turbo poison
>>220244488Go back to /a/
>>220246693that's my fuarking hero
>220247287
>>220245248It pains me we wil never get a remake in this level. Even if we get it would be shit.
>>220246693>wears a wifebeater for the one and only time in his life for this moment
>>220247680Why would you want some trash fucking digital animation remake? Are you gay?
>>220244708>>220244842kek that's totally true
>>220245825Shut the fuck up Vegeta
>>220244488Goku simply couldn't fathom how badly Chi-Chi ruined their son. Gohan has even greater chad potential than himself but is held back by being a self-conscious dweeb.
>>220244842Yeah fuck all those billions of other people Goku is fine with losing if he gets a real fight who cares that Cell intends to destroy every living being in the universe
>>220249973Universe should train more if it cant defend itself.
>>220244488because toriyama wanted gohan to take over as lead and he wanted to set up a foe that goku couldn't defeat at full strength but gohan having ascended could.Didn't end up that way because he's a hack.
>>220250597it's more like he realized that he has 0 desire to write gohan as a main character
>>220250965>it's more like he realized that he has 0 desire to write gohan as a main characterRight because having to write a character that doesn't have fight lust was harder than having to write a character that might think about his actions. He's a hack.
>>220251016>Right because having to write a character that doesn't have fight lust was harderNo just boring. Gohan isn't a proactive character.
>>220245727>>220250597These. Tough times make strong men, and Toriyama didn't want to write a character with depth.
>>220250965It was everyone else who didn't want Gohan to be the main character. Toriyama was clearly having way more fun with the high school shartventure and Gohan being forced in to mr satan's sham tenkaichi budokai than the dumb and repetitive buu stuff.
>>220251081Toriyama didn't listen to his readers. In fact he did the opposite of what they wanted out of spite.
>>220251121He bent the knee to jump executives
>>220245651>Cell was going to destroy the planet.Good thing it was Sunday and everyone was out
