...huh. That explains why everything's been quieter.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!Yeah, I've been following that too and it's really sad. I think she's pretty cool.
*ahem*
Um, on topic, the linked reviews reminded me how much I love Piccolo's ultimate argument. Few people will ever win an argument as hard as he did with this point:
- PICCOLO: Don't tell me it's about the job. You tried to pass it off at the first opportunity! To Goku! He doesn't even look after his kid! I look after his kid!

For the time after Namek he was either not around him when Goku wasn't around or with him when Goku was. And, yes, I know it's a joke. But a lot of people think it's true.

Gohan and Piccolo think it's true, and that's what really counts. Even to this day in Super, they have a bond that can't be broken. Piccolo's even in Gohan's wedding photo
◊ right next to Goku and Goten.
And that all started in those early days where Gohan Stockholm'd onto Piccolo during his training and Piccolo gained enough of a father's love for the kid to die for him.
It starts about as far from a healthy relationship as one can get and it doesn't mean Gohan doesn't love his actual father Goku, but it's there nonetheless.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Gohan and Piccolo being super close is not the same thing as Gohan thinking Piccolo has been more of a father to him or something, which is what that joke and most people are implying when they're saying it.
Don't get more wrong, I think the relationship itself was handled (relatively) well and like it.

I don't think Gohan's the kind of person to make that comparison. He loves his father. He loves his surrogate father. He loves his mother and his little brother. He loves his friends and his wife. And he'd probably get really confused if you asked him which one he loves more.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.- MR. SATAN: What about me? I'm practically a main character now. Toei loves me!
- GOHAN: Yeah, but you're also from Videl's side of the family and Toei doesn't really care about her at all. She's basically a life support system for a baby-making vagina now.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I'm pretty sure it's not just Toei that loves him.
Doesn't Toriyama seem to like him as well. He's certainly more prominent than a lot of human characters sans Bulma and Krillin.
Including his own daughter.
One Strip! One Strip!
