Im ok with the god of training being their mascot
>>152777760
>Goko
>>152777760
>his friend Pikachu
I laughed more than I should have.
Just wait for the butthurt chinamen to claim they invented the concept of goku.
>No idol winner.
;_;
I still think Miku would have been a better pick, but I guess they are trying to make aƱon happy.
But fucking Naruto and One piece and no doraemon The fuck is going on here?
>>152777760
>Goku is the 2020 Olympics mascot
I thought Brazil already hosted the Olympics in 2016?
Well this means Super isn't finishing at least until 2020
>>152777760
So is this the new version of Cool Japan?
>>152778528
Doraemon (and Mario) are the official hosts
>>152778577
oh here we go OH HERE WE GO
stop shilling your site
>>152777760
isn't using the hyperbaric time chamber as bad as doping?
>>152778701
>hyperbaric
>>152778718
How embarrassing, I won't even delete it, let all take in my shame
This thread again?
I thought it was going to be Mario?
How do we meme the Love Lives, Nip's biggest phenomenon since instant ramen, into performing at the opening ceremony? Is it not only natural for Moose and Aqwhores to be there?
>>152779277
>Love Lives, Nip's biggest phenomenon
Love Live isn't nearly as close to as popular as any of these >>152778648
>>152777760
Well he trained hard so it's pretty fitting for him.
>>152777760
He's the biggest training maniac out there, so it really fits the theme.
>>152777760
Ami the only one who thinks this is cringe as fuck?
>>152777760
>when you train too long at increased gravity and you come out looking like a manlet
>>152780671
Maybe if it was some other country, but Japan pretty much has a maskot for everything, so it isn't that surprising
he is one of the most recognized Japanese character in the world.
japs seem to be under the impression that anyone outside japan gives a shit about precure
>>152780671
dragonball is pretty prolific, even the super ghetto guys I knew in school liked dragonball.
>>152781103
I've never watched precure , but I cant deny I do like the designs for some of their outfits.
>>152781103
>the super ghetto guys
This is exactly the problem. From the people I know only maladjusted people seem to like it.
>>152781096
It's one of their biggest franchises
I don't think too many people give that much of a shit about Yokai Watch either but it's here
>>152781096
Even the critical minds of /a/ don't give a shit about precure not mention the normalfags!
>>152781119
meant for >>152781096
>>152781128
I dont know where you're from but its seems boys from all walks of life liked it in my school
>>152781103
This, just about every guy I went to high school with was at least able to recognize dragon ball.
>>152781173
same. people were rewatching z in college when I went and that was a decade ago
>>152781103
Dragon Ball was popular with pretty much every teenage male in the late 90s/early 2000s.
I think every male between like 15-35 probably recognizes goku in the US.
>>152781103
>>152781128
Dude pretty much everybody knows Dragon Ball.
>>152777760
Just mail the medals to the US, why fucking bother?
>When your ambassador does senzu bean
Japan should be ashamed of promoting doping.
>2020 Tokyo Olympics
>mascot is Goku
>Goku is from Dragonball
>Dragonball was a manga by Akira Toriyama
>Tokyo 2019 is the setting for the movie Akira

what are they planning?
>Heās 5ā8ā³
haha fuck, how tall is vegeta then? 3'8''?
>>152781096
Seems like a good opportunity to push it world wide, no?
>>152781667
Vegeta is 5'5"
>>152782017
>tfw shorter than your wife
>>152778424
Why would they be butthurt? I think it would be just the opposite, a confirmation that japs are actually chink colony.
>>152777760
>Not anything from 0079
>Not having a RX 78 drop in the opening ceremony
Shoko Nakagawa is on the mascot selection panel, chances of Jotaro being a mascot are looking good
We already had this thread.
>>152718889
>>152782679
I wonder which PokƩmon she'll choose.
>>152782679
>Shoko Nakagawa is on the mascot selection panel
Nice.
>>152778424
>claim they invented the concept of goku
Well, they did.
>>152778424
kind of,
not the alien thing of though
>>152782647
>more boring robots
astro boy is enough
>>152782267
>shorter than his wife
his wife also provides everything he has. even the clothes on his back. heck, even that armor was her own personal design based upon the armors he kept "acquiring" from the planet trade.
manlet is one thing, but he also hasn't held a job since coming to Earth.
>>152782939
children like these deserve death
>>152783009
Why? They're just stating facts. All the good /m/shit is from before they were even born.
>>152782679
I'm sure I'll get the typical, ha newfag overreacting to weird shit lurk more feggit, but what the fuck goes through people's minds when they make things like this picture?
How did Jotaro become a priest? How did Hank and Yuuka meet? Did that cunt Peggy die or something? Can't imagine Hank just moving on from her even after death since he's that kind of a guy so just what made him move on?
I know this was likely made by some dude that just said to themselves, I'm going to make a weird pic for shit's and giggles, but you can't tell me the artist didn't at least have a little bit of thought into the backstory of this shit. What the fuck is even going on here?
>>152783106
It is a deep and moving allegory for the human condition. I'm sorry you don't get it.
>>152781152
Here in spicland you can see teenager girls using DBZ gear and if you are under 65 you have watched at least one episode
>>152783106
pairings shouldn't be restricted by being in different shows.
>>152777760
Why not Shinji Ikari?
>>152782993
being a trophy husband is alpha as fuck
Ippo as the official Olympic boxing mascot when?
>>152781550
to make a live action adaptation of course
>>152781103
You mean ESPECIALLY the super ghetto guys liked dragon ball
>>152782888
well played
>>152783375
is he pissing out of his eye
>>152777760
Kirino will be the female ambassador then?
>>152783936
For the Special Olympics maybe.
As a warning against inbreeding.
>>152784114
inbreeding won't be an issue anymore in the near future thanks to CRISPR/Cas9
>>152778577
5 star post....
>>152783106
>How did Jotaro become a priest?
You don't have to be a priest to preside over a marriage
>>152778648
>Crayon Shin-Chan
I Question that decision.
>>152783426
Everybody knows that DB is a poorfag gateway anime. So... Dragon Ball Taco wars when?
>>152780671
This might be the one time I get to answer yes to this question.
>>152778577
>>152778648
>no RX-78-2 Gundam
I want to die
>>152777760
Wasn't Mario supposed to be the ambassador?
>still no ero doujin girl as their porn mascot
What's taking them so long?
>>152785544
>girl
>no Miku
I'm genuinely surprised
>>152782924
>not the alien thing of though
So they invented the only good part of DBZ while the japs turned it into shit?
>no honoka and nagisa
>>152785544
what the hell is people obsession with making that girl from kancolle into a dude?
>>152784908
>Doesn't have honor and a PEEENIS
Please go.
Goku is the perfect choice since the Olympics are a worldwide event and everyone knows who Goku is, probably tied with Pikachu and Mario, heck even my dad knows what a super sayian is
>not Pico.
>>152782924
Yeah, America invented that part.
>>152781128
Maybe you only know those type of mongrels. Or maybe, just maybe, you were the maladjusted one all along.
>>152785945
You can't be this stupid.
>>152777760
>Goko
>>152785747
See for yourself,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Wukong
The REAL Son Goku.
>>152784908
Shin-Chan is popular in a lot of other counties
>not choosing Umaru
They really fucked this one up.
>>152787552
Well compared to the fucking youkai watch cat he sure is.
>>152777760
Ahahahahah I can already imagine my brother and dad who are huge olympic fans going "what the fuck is this?".
>>152787705
I'm pretty sure everyone knows dragon balls at least.
>>152778648
WTF is precure or that cat thing or even shin chan doing there? Come on, there are more worthy candidates that have a more worldwide acknowledgement.
>>152787794
Youkai watch is actually pretty popular in japan, I doubt it's more popular than pokemon though.
>>152778718
>hyperbaric
its fucking hyperebonic time chamber
>>152777760
It seems strange that they put Naruto, Luffy and Sailor Moon on the merch, but ignored Ichigo. Maybe Jump really just hates Kubo. I mean if they wanted gaijins to recognize these characters, Ichigo is surely more recognizable to westerners than precure girls.
>>152778648
So Doraemon and Mario are the official mascots/hosts while these are "ambassadors"?
>>152788169
Sailor Moon and Naruto are unquestionably bigger than Bleach everywhere in the world, and One Piece's a special case since it's so big in Japan it had to be considered.
>>152788540
>One Piece's a special case since it's so big in Japan it had to be considered.
So same reason Yokai Watch beat out Pikachu and why Precure's there at all?
>>152788540
>Sailor Moon and Naruto are unquestionably bigger than Bleach everywhere in the world
Yeah but what about precure?
>>152788604
Same deal as Yokai Watch and One Piece, big in Japan so chosen to appeal to the local Japanese audiences.
>>152777760
>Dragon Ball Z
>Z
>>152788730
It it really so big? I'd thought that Miyazaki 's characters must be on the merch in the first place.
>>152782939
Says the faggot in a Nike shirt.
>t. pic related
>>152788169
>but ignored Ichigo
That might be because Bleach was never as popular as either of those three and also it's long over with nothing else coming out for it unlike Naruto or Dragon Ball
>>152788902
Well, we know that they consider Doraemon and Mario too big to be lumped in with these guys, maybe they have some Miyazaki characters too, I'd be surprised if Totoro wasn't chosen.
>>152788581
Pikachu is a host with Doraremon and Mario
>>152789138
But PreCure is even less popular and known to the western guests.
>>152789138
Bleach was more popular than One Piece here, that's for sure.
>>152777760
So does this mean Goku was promoted from out of the riffraff to hosting the games alongside Mario and Doraemon?
>>152789222
Yeah but it's actually still running and is the most popular, most longest running magical girl franchise in it's home country. It's not like a ton of people know about Shin-chan either. Also, I mean, without Sailor Moon, they would have no other girls there.
What are they gonna do, put up some Love Live or Idolm@ster character?
>>152789412
Well if we are talking about Bleach, they could have put Rukia there. She was always at the top polls rankings.
>>152789499
If it was about popularity of singular characters, Sasuke would be there instead of Naruto.
>>152777760
Why not use an actual Japanese citizen like Gojira-sama.
>No Yugi
He's the fucking KING of games, even Olympic ones
>No Akira reference
