Who comes up with this shit? Goku is an alien? Are you fucking serious?
Toriyama is a fucking hack.
>>146547114
>1998
Try 1989, murrifat.
>>146547114
>being this stupid
>Random alien defeats Goku and Piccolo at the same time
Yeah no, dropped
>>146547165
I meant to write 1989 and I fucked it up.
>>146547165
When did DBZ even air outisde of Japan (besides America). I doubt it would have aired around the same time as it did Japan, especially in the 80s.
>>146547114
When dragon ball Z start to airing in my country, my brother download a complete summary of dragon ball and spoil his friends until GT
Lain is forcuddling.
Well, he wasn't wrong back then.

1990 in France.

Goo goo ga ga

Toriyama confirmed for making it up as he goes

10/100
>>146549200
i don't think there was ever any doubt of that.
>>146549200
Goku being an alien was actually foreshadowed pretty far ahead of time.
Anyone starting with DBZ, like in America, would have no reason to think he's not an alien and anyone who's been familiar with the Japanese side would've known he's an alien long, long before 1998
>fags born in 1980 are now allowed on 4chan
Fucking kill me.
>>146549361
Fuck you I watched bootlegs of the original japanese Dragon Ball.
No subs.
>>146549334
ofcourse ching chong dingaling was obviously foreshadowing that goku is an alien in retrospect.
>>146549803
>no one can match me! there is no human who can surpass me!

>implying you watched or even knew about dbz until toonami started airing it.
I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST
>>146549291
Pretty much.
If anything, it's freaking amazing he actually manages to make everything fit so well.
>>146550550
>implying everyone in here is american
Hey what do you guys think of this new anime called Outlaw Star? I think it's pretty sweet desu.
GUYS, I come from the future! Please stop watching chinese cartoons RIGHT NOW or you will all die virgins!

Piccolo isn't a demon, is an alien!!! Just wtf!!
>>146550919
>implying anyone outside of japan gave a shit until america made it popular worldwide
>>146547114
He's blatantly ripping off superman now.
>>146551078
So when is Toriyama going to realize that Tien, Yamcha, Goten, Gohan, Roshi, etc are all still alive?
>>146549200
Most shounen authors do
>>146551078
You guys give him a lot of shit, but the fact that he's able to do thus and actually have it work out 95% of the time is pretty amazing.

>Durr Goku is an alien
>Durr Piccolo is an alien
Who isn't a fucking alien?
>>146553473
It'd be easier to say who is a alien, Goku, Piccolo, Kami, Boo, Vegeta, Beerus, Whis,
>>146553473
>he's an alien
>he's an alien
>are there any other aliens I should know about?
>>146553661
Who's Buu, Beerus and Whis?
Can't you see it's 1998? I mean, look at the World Trade Center over there.
>>146553091
Most people on a weekly serialization are essentially forced to. Chapters need to come out faster than any person can reasonably plan out all the details.
>some fucknut from outer space can beat up the world's most powerful human and the SPAWN OF THE DEMON KING HIMSELF casually
what the fuck?!

I spent 1998 enjoying the greatest year in videogaming.
>>146547114
Man did you see Nappa? he just sent all everyone to another dimension, I hope Goku can make it in time so nobody else has to go to another dimension.
>>146555800
Just you wait until Tien's arm grows back.
WHERE DID IT ALL GO SO WRONG WITH SUPER WHY DO THE FIGHTS LOOK FANMADE.

>america made it popular worldwide
KEK
>>146547396
96 in American syndication. It was pure agony every time the show looped back to the beginning.
>>146555800
I'll never forgive funimatuon for making me think Chaoitzu literally had the power to send people to another dimension for the longest time.
>>146547235
>random alien
>>146556380
Jesus Christ, I remember that shit. I missed the episode where Trunks kills Frieza and King Cold twice in a row the first and second time it aired. Finally catching it the third time was the most hyped thing ever though.

>america made it popular worldwide

dude he is goku's cool older brother he is going to be a strong and mysterious character that will appear for at least 100 episodes get used to it
>>146552794
nah that was latinamerica
america didn't do shit
guys hear me out this guy named luffy is going to find the one piece very soon
Just got back from watching this. It was fucking awful.
>>146553282
His fight scenes are superb despite the amount of time he spends working on them.
>1989
>watching dragon ball instead of Saint Seiya
>>146561184
>not watching both
Guys, I think he's going to make it!
>hanging out with this asian transfer kid at school today
>he's trying to convince us that Goku's voice in Japan is AN OLD LADY
hahaha what a liar
like imagine your grandma trying to do a kamehameha
>>146547205
Toriyama didn't plan for Goku to be an alien, not even with that throwaway line.
>>146552987
>Tien and Yamcha
Never, unless a Super Human transformation is revealed.
>>146557092
Wait, they tried making Chiaotzu cool?
So, uh... Anyone watching Sailor Moon?
Totally not a gaywad, by the way, cuz I like looking at the sexy girls. Like this guy's girlfriend. Lucky sumbitch amirite?
>>146552794
I watched Dragonball in Spain in the 80s. It was popular all over Europe besides the UK back then.
Man ChiChi sure is something.
>>146550550
A then modern /a/ would.
>>146552884
I know right? Goku is Superman, geez.
Hey, who do you think would win if they foug-
Wait, forget what I said. No one would wanna talk about that.
D-don't let the weird look get to ya!
It's actually good and not that gay, parents will understand.
>>146547114
Look at that superior battle choreography. Beats everything in Super.
>>146562339
Man, for the longest time I really thought he was a woman.
I think it's safe to say he's jumped the shark, this manga isn't lasting another 10 volumes.
>>146547114
some posts in this thread are full blown retarded, thanks for the laughs
>>146560865
I liked the design though. Heard there going to be an animated series soon, kinda hype.
>>146561458
He knew that Goku, Piccolo, and God were aliens by the end of the King Piccolo arc.
>>146547396
as a kid, I watched it in english and presumably a spanish dub, as it was on a spanish channel
I lived in south texas, so I guess I got some extra channels.
eventually I got an international channel that just straight up showed anime.
I got to watch some of GT (and slayers) that way.
>>146555800
And the best part is, that's all he was really doing anyway
>>146562892
Yeah, last I could recall he writes, storyboards, and finishes a chapter during the last two days of his work week. That means he literally had them changed to be aliens during then.
I don't know, I just want my demon Piccolo back with red blood.
Y2K is propaganda
>>146556380
I first saw DB and DBZ on saterday mornings in the US in 95. They only showed the first 1-2 arcs of DB before going over to DBZ which only went up to the end of the Saiyan arc.
DB actualy first showed up in the US in 88-89 but it was the harmony gold dub which was fucking horrible.

They changed the names of everyone like Goku was Zero, Krillen was Goku, and Korin was Wiskers the Wonder Cat.

>not human = alien
you can't be serious.
>>146554083
that is why you normally plan it out during the conception stage before you pitch the idea, like oda did. Only the individual islands and characters are made up as he goes, but the overall plot was made before he started.
Kubo did something like that too, having the idea of vizards and arrancars made up since the beginning, however he hadn't thought out the plot, only "ideas", which is obviously not enough to carry a weekly story.
>>146561543
Tien should be the one to get it then. He deserves it. I like krilin more but I want him to enjoy his family life.
>>146561359
to be fair, during this time. People would legitimately think he's not winning this one. His strongest pokemon is a WildcardEven with that said, I'd put more faith in Charizard than on memeNinja anytime
