So, looking at Gine and Bardock's house
and some of the other character sheets and promo art.
I'm struck by the fact that Gine and Bardock seem to have a house made of dried mud, while Vegeta has that fucking palace.
What the fuck is up with Vegeta's housing market.
Well, Vegeta is a Prince. Not a shock he gets the good stuff, including building materials.
One Strip! One Strip!Maybe I'm just a crazy, wacky, mean, no-fun feminist, but dying because you were tripped down stairs trying to look up a girl's skirt doesnt quite make for a compelling or sympathetic character to me.
Like, it's fundamentally my problem with Roshi's worse elements, or why I want Oolong to be barbecued and eaten. Possibly while alive and screaming because he deserves it because holy shit he drugged Bulma and Goku to rape Bulma while she was naked in bed.
That's.
Anyway, I'm reading it now, I do appreciate the art style and how much like Toriyama's it is?
Like, say what you like about Toriyama and whatever you say is probably true. He can only draw 6 or three or one and a half faces max, he's a lazy hack, whatever.
But his artstyle is still damned compelling and visually appealing. In Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest you name it.
...And, despite everything.
Like, I have feminist issues and political and philosophical things because I'm me and I cant turn it off.
But even I think some of the sex jokes in Dragon Ball are damned funny. Like. The thing where Bulma flashes Roshi without panties. Like, it's exploitative and I can say a bunch of other words about how it's bad and wrong, but it does still manage to make me laugh, so. Take that how you will. I'm a hypocrite.
...It definitely does go too far, and I think in places in filler or the anime they take Roshi and some of the other pervertedness way way further than it ever goes otherwise, and I just can't find it funny.
But as a comedic beat, dying as a pervert and then becoming Yamcha does honestly work for me.
...The problem for me is when it then becomes a reward, and pervert-Yamcha becomes awesome.
Life as Yamcha as an Ironic Hell I sorta like as a concept, weirdly.
EDIT: Like, for the Oolong thing. Oolong seems to get the idea to use the sleeping powder while Bulma's yelling at him, and Dragon Ball was still a gag manga, is the "joke" that she was so much of a bitch that she deserved it? Is that what's happening there?
...I do find the eventual final punchline of Yamcha trying to find the Dragon Balls in bed and eventually accidentally seeing Bulma naked funny, but like. Every part of Oolong's role before that gets worse and worse.

I like how That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime handles that. Rimuru greatly enjoys that kind of thing an apparently had a lot of hentai on his computer but he doesn't act like a pervert beyond enjoying the fact that he gets to come into contact with breasts a lot more as a slime.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I'm doing a sort of study on how the fandom precieves gods, so vote for your favorite!

Well, you could argue that Vegetto softened Zamasu up for Trunks.
