The most accurate accent for Goku would be more like Osaka in the dub of Azumanga Daioh.

How extreme are Goku and Chi-Chi's accents? Because I frequently catch myself omitting the last letter of some words if the second-to-last letter is N, like 'doin', 'thinkin', 'don', 'wasn', etc, alongside some other occasional slips of the tongue where I lazily leave out a sound from a word, and I definitely don't have an actual southern drawl.

[up][up] Umm Goku's is decently prominent. Slurs and draws them out his vowel sounds, 'ai', 'ei', 'oi' and 'ae' come out sounding like 'ee', however he has none of the actual grammar changes.

Chi Chi had it all till the tournament when she basically loses the phonetic differences but still keeps most but not all the grammar changes, biggest one she keeps is adding 'da' after verbs.

Gohan and Goten speak perfect Tokyo-ben Japanese and both use 'Boku' in Z, Ultimate Gohan uses 'Ore' in Z and in the episode of Super where he challenged Goku. Gotenks uses 'Ore' as well.

Ohh forgot to mention that when Goku goes Super Saiyan until his training with Gohan, he switches from 'Ora' to 'Ore', after his training there he sticks with Ora unless he is fused with Vegeta where it is exclusively Vegeta influenced Ore or really super cocky 'Ore-sama'.

Gohan and Goten speaking differently makes sense. Given how obsessed with education and appearances Chi-Chi is, it makes sense for her to make sure he kids speak "properly" even if she can't train herself to do the same.

That's true.

Anyway for those who are interested in everyone else's personal pronouns.

  • Pan: “Watashi”
  • Uub: “Oira”, uber hick version of "Ora"
  • Satan: “Ore” till the end of the series in which he switches to “Watashi”
  • Goten: "Boku", switches to "Ore" in GT
  • Krillin: "Boku" as a kid switches to “Ore” in the Piccolo Jr arc. He always uses "Watashi" or "Watakushi" when talking to Master Roshi out of respect.
  • Yamcha: “Ore”
  • Tenshinhan: “Ore”
  • Chiaotzu: "Boku"
  • Yajirobe: “Ore”
  • Oolong: "Ore"
  • Puar: "Boku"
  • Piccolo: "Ore" unless he is doing his "I'm evil" thing then it is "Ore-sama". During the Freeza fight he uses "Ore-tachi", the plural form of "Ore", it's dropped after the fight.
  • Kami: “Watashi”
  • Dende: “Boku”
  • Shenlong : “Watashi”
  • Bulma: “Watashi” till the start of the Freeza arc then switches to the more girly “Atashi” and never goes back. She uses “Ore” in that whole thing with General Blue.
  • Videl: “Atashi”
  • Lunch: “Watashi” with purple hair “Ore” as a blonde.
  • Vegeta:“Ore”, unless getting cocky then it is “Ore-sama”.
  • Future Trunks: in series its "Ore" in his special it is "Boku"
  • Kid Trunks: "Boku" unless fused.
  • Master Roshi : “Washi”
  • Dr. Brief: “Washi”
  • Bulma’s mother: “Watashi”
  • Korin : “Washi”
  • King Enma: “Washi”
  • King Kai: “Washi”
  • Supreme Kai: “Watashi”
  • Mister Popo: "Mister Popo"
  • Demon King Piccolo: “Washi” old, “Watashi” when made young again. Never uses "Ore" at all.
  • Freeza: He switches often mostly "Watashi" in 1st and 3rd form, 2nd form uses "Ore", final form uses "Boku" till getting hit with the spirit bomb then goes back to "Ore", mecha Freeza uses "Boku".
  • Cell: "Watashi", switches to "Ore" as he was about to go boom.
  • 17: "Ore" unless pretending to obey Gero then "Watashi"
  • 18: "Watashi"

They live in a version of the world rule by a dog and no sense of direction. Also, Capsule Corp. is everywhere. They don't have zip codes, they probably have capsule codes.

[down]That sounds more like a GPS coordinate than an address.

Yes. Because that's how far from civilization they are. Expecting anything more conventional is like asking for the street address to the peak of Mt. Everest.

EDIT: Kame House probably doesn't have a proper street address either.

And episode 59 got taken down off You Tube cause Toei.

What's the record for "shortest amount of time something TFS related got uploaded to You Tube and then taken down because of X (x in this case being Toei)?

Just to sound out on something minor he mused about in that video, I'm starting to get the impression that Super is setting up a kind of "what if a character like Pan was a straight up human," or similar, with Marron. At least, she girl's starting to evolve into something of a battle enthusiast, even if she hasn't as of yet been directly involved in any adventures (which may be about to change literally within the next few weeks).

It would be odd for them to suddenly claim humans could get the powerful.

I mean, Uub is a reborn eldritch abomination, and 17 and 18 are modified humans.

It's pretty hard to believe Mar(r)on could suddenly become super powerful from being the daughter of an Android CYBORG.

I suppose it's possible that Pan has no saiyan genes, but again, that wouldn't let her be that strong, because Toriyama doesn't care about the humans outside of fights.

This is a series where Android 17 can apparently keep pace with Super Saiyan Blue Goku after all these years. Where Krillin is able to beat Gohan. They don't particularly care much about keeping the battle powers consistent.

They trained.

They discovered some new power they didn't realize they had.

They learned a new technique.

The how isn't all that important. An author can do whatever.

It's not impossible that Marron got some of her mom's nanomachines, son genetic enhancements transferred to her through her mom's bloodstream while in the womb.

You guys are joking about the nanomachines but didn't Toriyama actually retcon that Lapis and Lazuli don't actually have any robotic parts and it's all just nanotechnology in their bloodstreams or something? I feel like something like that was brought up here.
