When you’re reading the Dragon Ball manga, anime filler isn’t canon.
When you’re watching the Dragon Ball anime, anime filler is canon.
It’s literally that simple.
Anime filler, aside from occasionally coming directly from rough ideas of Toriyama’s (like a certain sequel series people wanna call canon, HMMM), was written by and approved by the same crew of writers who adapted the manga into an anime.
Two very different mediums requiring different storytelling techniques.
When you’re watching the Lord of the Rings films, Aragorn getting Andruil in Return of the King is still canon, even if when you’re reading the books, he has it the whole time.
So when you’re watching this -
This is canon -
And when you’re watching this -
This is canon -
And if you’re going to be watching this -
This is still canon -
Doesn’t matter if you like it, dislike it, support it, or disagree with it. And it certainly doesn’t matter what some cheap, cash in spin off, produced two decades later, with almost none of the original staff, has to say about it.
Even His Most Holiest Toriyama-Sama doesn’t have a say in it. The anime was produced by literally dozens of men and women with equal talent to the original author’s, and this constant cherry picking of their work is a garbage way to watch their collective masterpiece.
So one more time, if you’re watching this -
This is still canon -
Cheers.
I dont want to hear one Yamcha or Krillin joke ever again
AWWWW!
My entry for this month CDC. (theme: “Dragon Ball”)
I drew the best mama, Chichi :)
do you think Goku was physically attracted to Chi Chi, because he always seemed to be so clueless about all that kind of stuff??
buuuuut if I’m going to be honest with myself. I don’t think he was physically attracted to Chichi in the beginning because you know Son Goku is so clueless and pure hearted.
That was his whole character. He was a pure,innocent, and clueless kid. He didn’t care about the female body.
But it looks like when we get further into the series he starts to blush more around her ESPECIALLY when she puts her body super close to his.
I think what was happening here was that he was experiencing new changes in his body and didn’t understand any of it.
Like in the top picture he looks like he’s blushing because he can feel her boobs. xD Plus he never had anyone hug him that close like chichi is doing.
SO in short. For me personally Goku didn’t find woman attractive when he was a kid/young teen, but then when we see him turn into a young adult he starts to find girls a little more attractive. Plus Bulma mentions on the SD manga how goku was pure and inocent as a kid but then turns into another fillthy adult when he’s older xD
Plus there is a moment where Goku says Bulma’s boobs are bigger than Chichi’s like if the guy measures boob size. and also because on the Battle of Gods movie, Chichi says “what are you saying Piccolo? Are you saying Goku is not pure?”
and he slams his face like if saying “wtf Chichi do we not have sex???”
((lmao chichi is so clueless and cute x3 ))
oh yeah plus there was another time where goku looks at chichi hungrily. (he doesn’t stop looking at her even if he has food)
PPLLUUSS *cough* he was *cough* in a hurry *cough* to have some *cough* “alone time *COUGH* with chichi cause he was horny
I tried sketching Chyna!!! 😭
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you hate a character solely because of a ship/ships, you're a childish fuck who needs to log off the internet and go touch grass. It's so annoying to see some of my favorite characters either reduced to who they're paired with or demonized because of said pairing. Fans really do take the fun out of shipping, especially on Tumblr and TikTok. And what gets me is that y'all aren't only loud with that bullshit, but you're wrong with it too! Like, damn, so and so, which, let's be real, is usually a girl, being shipped with the main character really lodged a stick up your ass, huh? If you don't like him or her or whoever, that's fine! If you don't like them because of shipping, stop making that everyone else's problem because I'm sick of seeing my faves personalities twisted and diminished just because you take shipping way too seriously.
how about an awkward family dinner later?
