saiyans racial is that they get way stronger every time they're

>>153701060
its called a zenkai boost and yes he gets stronger everytime he gets beat up until eventually no one can compete with him on earth

>>153701060
Yes but there's also a limit to it.

Yeah it's never really formally introduced until frieza saga, but it's noticeable in Dragonball most noticeably in the King Piccolo Saga where he gets his shit kicked in by Tambourine but is able to more than easily beat him a couple days later.

A good amount of credit for that particular win is the fact that he was full the second time around. Before the first fight he went through the Budokai and then didn't eat because he was waiting for Krillin so he was going on empty.

>>153701060
It becomes a thing only in the second part.

The one you posted is not a zenkai boost, is just goku eating and regaining his strenght.

It never happened before Z

>It never happened before Z
He did get stronger by drinking divne water which was poison and nearly killed him over and over again.

>>153701060
It literally happens in every shounen, MC gets his shit beaten and either gets a powerup during the fight or after retreating.
DBZ just developed it into a full-fledged plot device and made it part of the story.

>>153701060
It was invented on Z.
Goku wasn't even a fucking alien, the author came up with the idea later.

>>153703564
Toriyama actually planned to end Dragon Ball right after Goku got hit by Bulma's motorcycle but his editors wanted him to continue.

>>153703645
He planned to end it all the time.

>>153703645
Yeah man did you know that toriyama actually planned DBS like 20 years ago?

>>153703564
>Goku wasn't even a fucking alien, the author came up with the idea later.
Note that even by the Piccolo daimao arc it had been established that he wasn't human. And even before Toriyama had drawn stuff like Kuririn and Roshi getting bullet holes while Goku was only scratched. So, he was always meant to be some kind of freak.

I thought it was established he wasn't human when you could see he had a monkey tail.
