Like, I don't even wanna see Goku's hairy pink monkey dick.

I just think the pants are weird and make no sense. And also very distracting because of the brightness of the yellow. It clashes so hard. It hurts, actually. Eye-searing.

And it would just work better if there was just a bunch of red fur everywhere, including a patch of featureless, blank, ken-doll like hair where his crotch is.

And, if people want to imagine or think about it they can just say it's covered in the hair.

See, the way I remember it is that Goku actually was playing around with Buu the whole time, and only decided until it was too late to actually try going all out. Even then, Buu actually was his equal at that point, and any battle in stamina between the two would have ended in Buu's win, no matter what Goku actually did, since Buu kind of had unlimited stamina at that point. No one was going to be outlasting him.

[up] See, here's the thing, that idea would never happen, as the TV executives would never allow that on daytime television. Even then, you know that America would be the censoring the hell out of that, since it's still supposed to be a children's show.

[up][up] That's what Vegeta accuses. He thinks Goku is screwing off so that he can have a turn. But when he confronts Goku about it, Goku explains that he's been hitting Buu with everything he has but it's not enough because he can't find the time to charge up to his full power. Buu's fighting style is too erratic and in-your-face and it's not giving Goku the breathing room he needs to just build up.

Goku claims that at full power, he'd be able to annihilate Buu. So Vegeta tells him that he'll step in and buy Goku the time he needs. Vegeta goes in to fight Buu while Goku starts powering up. But it goes awry when, instead of hitting full power, Goku runs out of power and is kicked out into his base form instead.

The reason, Goku realizes, is because he failed to account for Super Saiyan 3's power drain. He could manage it when he was dead, but the requirements of a living body amplify the drain that Super Saiyan 3 has on him - a drain so immense that it counteracted his attempts to charge his ki and wound up bleeding out all the energy he had left instead.

With Goku now running on empty and no hope of reaching the hypothetical Buu-crushing full Super Saiyan 3 power, they're forced to come up with Vegeta's Genki-Dama plan which also nearly fails because Super Saiyan 3 drank all of Goku's energy, requiring a Dragon wish to refuel him once Buu starts pushing the thing back.

[up][up][up][up] ...In the very first chapter of the manga, and the very first episode of the series, Kid Goku has his dick out.

Like, I'm just suggesting Super Saiyan 4 have as much detail in the anatomy of the crotch as Oozaru.

Like. Look. I don't see a dick there.

Not here either.

Or here.

@Tobias Except that's not a flaw inherent in the actual form. You don't think that say, the extended fight with Buu, including the damage he was taking and the ki and stamina he was wasting trying to fight him, weren't bigger contributors to his inability to reach his full power than the ki drain of the actual form?

Animals Lack Attributes is a trope that's been in play for the Great Ape form since it first appeared.

Applying it to Super Saiyan 4 wouldn't be difficult. And would be less weird.

Like, at least for the first time Goku goes Super Saiyan 4, when his clothes are shredded by turning Golden Great Ape. I guess after that his pants could turn into shorts, or they could handwave that Bulma made them stretchy.

Having pants that grow with him when he does is one thing. Pants appearing when he has none is another.

My 2 cents about 4: It being called 4 is out of place, and it would have worked better, in my view, if it remplazed the great ape once both it and super saiyan were mastered: A saiyan with mastery of both, if looking at a full moon, would get a massive increase of power and a more feral disposition. And would lose the top part of his attire and get thick body hair instead.

Like, how is Goku's naked crotch when he's a Golden Great Ape and has no visible genitalia not as bad as his naked crotch as a Super Saiyan 4 if there's just fur down there and he has no visible genitalia?

Like. Seriously. Explain this.

Like. When we saw Goku turn Super Saiyan 3 there was a bunch of trippy imagery including this. I don't see a dick there.

Clearly, the great ape form actually has no genitalia. I mean, what would be the point of mating while in such a giant form if you don't have to? Do you know how long even elephant gestation takes? And the resource intake would be staggering. And that's all setting aside that they're only that size for 1% of the time on Earth. Dunno what it would have been on planet Vegeta, though Saiga can probably answer that. Giant swinging monkey bits would also be an obvious weak point.

No good can come of giant floppy monkey dongs.

[up]x4 So basically make it useless, since it could only be used once a month at night (only Vegeta knows how to make the power ball thing; Goku doesn't).

[up] I mean, have you seen how big an elephant's dick is? It makes horses look small.

[up][up] I mean, according to the anime, on Planet Plant the Full Moon is either once every 100 years or once every 8 years. Depending on the dub.

Not sure how long the Full Moon lasts for on Planet Plant though.

According to Dragon Ball Super, the Saiyans aren't originally from Planet Plant. Originally Saiyans come from Planet Salad. Before they blew it up.

No information currently exists on the lunar cycles of Planet Salad.

I mean, the first time the Dragon Balls were mentioned, Goku thought it meant that somebody had removed the testicles of an actual dragon.

Genitals and Dragon Ball are sorta linked concepts.

And, again, this is after Goku takes his pants off to go fishing with his tail.

If Goku's naked front wasn't in the very first page, it was close to the start.

[up][up] I mean, I'm not even trying to talk about genitalia.

I just wanna know why it's so bad for a character to have their pants off if the artstyle deliberately doesn't show us their genitalia.

Like. Barbie Doll Anatomy is a thing.

...I mean, to be fair, I'm also confused about why Frieza's black briefs underwear panty. Thingy. Disappears when he transforms into his fourth form.

Like, I'm also confused about why he takes his torso armor off when he transforms, given said armor is established as being able to stretch and expand.

But mostly.

Like, we go from Frieza's third form to his fourth form.

One he has the underwear over his unmentionables, the other he seemingly doesn't have unmentionables.

Like. Why? Where did it go?

I'm as confused about clothing suddenly disappearing as I am by it suddenly appearing.
