Is there a shittier protagonist than Goku?

Me. I'm the protagonist of my life

>because the fun he would have fighting him again is more valuable to him than avenging his dead "friends" or preventing the deaths of more innocents/whole planets

Maybe if those "innocent" people shared his attitude they wouldn't be such cowards and it wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

>Is supposed to be a pure-hearted radiant force of good and justice
Hello American dub watcher.

This, the concept of justice never crossed Goku's mind.

They'd die regardless.

Let's not forget that he chose to stay dead even though his friends could have brought him back, leaving his wife a widow raising his 2 sons. And while he was dead, it turns out he could have contacted his family AT ANY TIME but didn't do it until he heard there was a tournament. He had no reaction whatsoever to seeing his son Goten for the first time (filler doesn't count).

Yeah, son-kun is a nice guy

you fucking retard. goku is saiyan, combat is everything to him and all his kind. that has always been the case. AND there is nothing wrong or stupid about it since the main characteristic of saiyan race is ALWAYS getting stronger by fighting. thats preety much the plot for entire DBZ. Everything that always happen happen because saiyan wanted to fight. From Freeza getting spooked by 'weak' saiyan getting stronger from his elites, through cell and saiyan cells in his giving Z-team a chance to ifght him one on one to Buu absorbing saiyans and getting all cocky like saiyans get. if you are complaining about it you might as well whine that ninjas in naruto are using ninjutsu and shinigamis in bleach have bankais.
and the last thing. why do you think vegata was always pissed at gohan and goku was always comfused and sort of dissapointed with him. because gohan didnt have as strong fighting craze like them and from their point of view stopping training and not wanting to fight over anything else is ridiculous.

>he is the protagonist of his life
Lucky bastard

Is this pasta? If it isn't this is retarded.
It's "mr. judge, it's in the refugee coulture to rape, we shouldn't judge him too harshly"-level retarded.

He's the archetypal moralfag. Also a retarded manchild who only cares about fighting and food.

That is correct that picture though some people just need to die though, and it is our judgement and call to make sometimes jail ain't enough.

saiyans are violent apes who evolved into combat maniacs. its biological in them, just like humans go to school to learn because on earth we are smartest animal just like saiyan fight, fight and fight because they live for strenght and combat.
goku isnt genociding anyone only because he was dropped on his head but other then that he is pure saiyan ape.

>Sandniggers are violent apes who evolved into rape maniacs. Its biological in them, just like humans s go to school to learn because in the first world we are the smartest animal just like niggers rape, rape and rape because they live for immediate sexual appagation.
Do you see how ridicoulous you sound with that argument?

Don't forget he murdered almost the entire population of Namek, including the children.

>>Is supposed to be a pure-hearted radiant force of good and justice, but at the end of the Saiyan Sage he begs Krillin to let Vegeta live because the fun he would have fighting him again is more valuable to him than avenging his dead "friends" or preventing the deaths of more innocents/whole planets

The mercy scene in the dub was better and despite what purists say was entirely consistent with his behavior towards Raditz, Frieza, and the Ginyu Force.

>tfw Piccolo could've just merged with Kami in first place against Vegeta
>he does it anyway against androids even though they had the hyperbolic time chamber since dragonball
Toriyama is a hack.

does hating dubs make me an irritating elitist loser

because even a casual viewing of dragonball informs you that all saiyans are violent monsters and goku has brain damage

which explains everything that is wrong with him

Dubs tend to sound like shit, which is really just opinion I guess, but in this particular case the dub also distorts the story and characters so it's perfectly legitimate.

To be fair though, he was extremely reluctant to do so. Toriyama is a hack for plenty of other reasons though.

The original Z dub was legit shit, even Funi themselves admitted so. The Kai dub is pretty good though, much more faithful to the source material.

>what is character growth
he even still had a problem with it during the android saga there was no way in hell he'd do it during the saiyan saga

Stop watching the anime. The Goku is a bad dad is a meme from there and DBZA

Trips sounds way better then dubs, checked.

>but in this particular case the dub also distorts the story and characters so it's perfectly legitimate

Dub makes Goku more likable.

Goku is likeable enough in the manga. Not so much when you pad everything he does with filler and bullshit.

Kid Goku > Adult Goku

Of course.
DBZ was a mistake afterall.
DB should have stopped with the Goku vs. Piccolo end of the tournament.
