Exposing The Worst Dragon Ball Take I’ve Ever Seen 

Sage starting to become the DB communities last hope. We must stay strong.

Bro just mad he couldn't go Super Saiyan when he was a kid

Krillin didnt JUST want android cheeks. He also didnt want to kill someone that hasnt done anything wrong

Ppl are just ignorant. DB is amazing, objectively

“There’s no way these people understand Attack on Titian if they don’t understand Dragonball” That right there is a true bar

People who criticize Dragon Ball for its "lack of plot and character development" are the same people who will praise complex shows (HxH, JJK, AoT) without even understanding the basic development and themes of Dragon Ball. Usually my issues with DB critiques aren't necessarily the critiques themselves, but the people that make them because you can tell they don't know what they're talking about.

Fun fact: You can easily tell when someone has actually paid attention when watching the show depending on if they ever mention piccolo’s development or just simply acting like vegeta was the only one that changed.

I think the reason people say that no other character in DragonBall has character growth is because the majority of the z fighters are already complete characters in Z. That's why people don't know if there are any other characters besides Vegeta and Gohan that had character development. Since the majority of the Z fighters' character development is in og dragon ball which a lot of people never watched, including myself. Also, homie should've watched all of Og DragonBall, then all of Z before making this video honestly.

For the first 8 minutes of this video this “creator” formulated an opinion and dethroned the buu saga and DBZ of a saga he didn’t watch and I quote “I stopped watching dragon ball z after krillin destroyed the remote”

Kid Goku: Erases the lives of hundreds of Red Ribbon Army members casually. Adult Goku: Tries to perserve life when he can unless it absolutely can't be avoided.

Sometimes it just feels like the people making fun of dragon ball fans are describing what they are when they watch/read dragon ball

bro is hating on dbz for clout

That video pissed me off so much that I'm now motivated to go finish reading bleach just so I can read all of DB and DBZ just so I can refresh my opinion and perspective on the story so that I may thoroughly destroy every single argument that idiot presents myself.

7:47 Bro really stopped watching the show cuz he thought Krillin was an android. So, of all things to criticize DB for, intentional character flaws are apparently the breaking point for this big brain

😭 sage was finna start squeezing , when he said goku had no character development

There's no way this guy has actually watched the show because this is the most disingenuous bad faith trying to be different ass video that I've seen possible ever. Crazy 😭

can never get behind people saying goku will always win at the end of the day. he lost to vegeta twice, died fighting raditz, got washed before going ssj against frieza, lost literally every single fight in the android/cell saga, and got folded by buuhan. i'm pretty sure he has around a 50% win rate in Z.

Great video. DB Z introduced me into the genre. I was so close to visiting Japan one point myself. I had experience with MoCap and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama San. R.I.P.

Honestly it's so easy to just nitpick things you don't like and then say something sucks. It's such a boring conversation. If you don't like things cool. That doesn't make the product bad.

All I heard in the video was: blah blah blah Goku is an idiot with no character development, blah blah Vegata is a cool character, I guess, blah blah Krillin risk it all for some cybersex, and blah blah Gohan should have been the main character.😂

You know my favorite criticism to hear about DB is when they say Goku shows up a beats the bad guy. GOKU BARELY DOES THAT 🤣

"Hunter x Hunter stopped when gon found his dad" No the hell it didn't, it went into hiatus for 12 years but it didn't end and it's still going. "Naruto ended when he became hokage" Boruto exists Full metal alchemist got a reboot, that's why brotherhood exists. This man is wrong as hell and he didn't even finish being wrong.

For the pacing Part You can easily watch Kai or read the Manga Which I Highly Recommend For anyone who likes series with Faster Pacing

14:42 also piccolo changed again when he fused with kami. I think that’s also why he was able to tell that goku wasn’t a super saiyan god , just a powered up super saiyan

Goku giving cell a senzu bean is a great showing of goku’s character at the time with him thinking selfishly and that gohan would also enjoy it since didn’t understand him right after that goku realizes his mistake in that gohan doesn’t like fighting and was gonna break the tournament rules to help him ultimately leading to him sacrificing himself as a way to not only atone for his mistake but also show his growth as a father and character in general

Without Dragon Ball you wouldn’t have Naruto Bleach One Piece Etc there’s hella dragon ball references damn near every anime

Bro is one of 3 things 1.) A person who LITERALLY has never seen the show AT ALL 2.) Someone who has the media literacy of a cornflake Or 3.) Ragebait

I swear whoever made that video, (that TSO_Sage reacted to), has zero comprehension of media literacy unless it’s LOUDLY BOLDLY telling what they are feeling, thinking, or what it is all about. Subtlety and thematic storytelling is a foreign concept to them. This is just not about liking an anime or not, no this just shows they have poor attention span and general misunderstanding of cause & effect and different kinds of conflicting interests leading to key plot points. I pity that person truly.

Never let bro cook again

26:58 That dude tweaking. That goes for damn near any show lol

19:49 Also Beerus is right there 20:07 dude is literally when the toxic side of the Gohan and Vegeta fan base has a baby

How did we, as a community, go from "Dragon Ball fans can't read" to "Dragon Ball fans can't see"

It’s wild bc this guy is trying to intellectually dunk on dragon ball proving he is in capable of analyzing the show🤦🏾‍♂️.

Love it when people argue stuff about dragon ball and have literally never read or watched the series in any way, shape, or form.

Bro was just yapping. And tryna find every lil thing🤦‍♀️💀

I'm immune to the nostalgia argument, since I haven't started watching it until recently.

The Goku that merced the Red Ribbon army wouldn't have let Vegeta live lol

“The game plots are all the same” Dragon ball legends having a completely new story:

Wow, this kid is out of his fucking mind.

probably the worst take to date.

This guy has NO RIGHT to say no one watched DB when he freely admitted HE DIDN'T WATCH IT. Stopped after Krillin and the controller, yeah no your point is invalid

Bro talking like someone who only watched a show once then only rewatched clips of it.

The entire Gotenks arc feels like filler because it had no payoff. They didn't beat Buu but we wasted many episodes on it. Then we didn't get a payoff to the Gotenks capability until what... Dragonball Super Heroes and they didn't even perform a proper fusion? Name another time Gotenks mattered. I'll wait.

Tbf this did come out 3 years ago but the take is still mad wild.

The fact that goku was almost a mature adult in Z is what made me hate him in super.

Sage literally the goku of the dragon ball community

The vid you're responding to is Hbomberguy RWBY levels of pretentious, surface level "I didn't actually pay attention while watching this shit" argumentation. At least this dude had the decency to keep the video shorter.

I love when people don't understand what the word plot means then proceed to complain about plot.

Kid Goku: is marriage something to eat? Adult Goku: throughout the series accepting his Saiyan heritage after originally distancing himself from it saying I'm Goku and I'm an earthling. transitioning to super where he tells Broly to call him Kakarot since he's a fellow Saiyan. him being disingenuous " they are literally the same no difference. Goku doesn't change I heard it from a tiktok so you know it's true."

sage this nga gotta be trolling😭

Went ahead and rewatched Dragon Ball Z like he asked. And in my opinion it's peak

Crodie I would LOVE if you covered the hip hop war going on rn, cuz THIS shit is on some Goku vs Frieza shit

That man made rage bait for clout💀

Please get on them like white on rice, a glass of milk, a paper plate, and a snow storm!

In regards to the relevancy of the dragonballs, let's just think about it from the perspective of Toriyama, was he meant to change the title of the manga after every arc because "well it's not about the dragon balls" ridiculous.

A lot of people forget that Goku straight up murders people fairly regularly in Dragon Ball, he doesn't start sparing people regularly until Z.

That's it! I'm revoking his right to talk sh*t about the series. All he did was talk about the Buu saga; complain about the title; CLEARLY avoided the character development; and that's just a few of them. And yet he says that it's TRASH?! You guys might not dunk on this bozo, but I WILL! 😤🙌🏿

Honestly dudes like these make me mad because he’s just a hater and has no valid reason why dragon ball is trash.

He was stuttering the whole time, it felt like he was just joking off his head. W sage for showing how good DBZ really is

I think a lot of times bro people when the answer ain't obvious can't see shit when it comes to storytelling and art. And say it's dumb down or this and this stuff. Not using context clues, oberservation? Understand author intent, analysis, etc. I can tell because these people sucked in English class during essays and work. But in the same breath say and obvious or dark theme being told and it's in your face, and be like ohhh good writing. No that's level of 10 yrs old that someone can understand and you just get it cuz they told you the answer rather than having you learn by watching it

Nah bro this has to be troll bc some points are to ironic

Character Flaw =/= Bad Character. Though, flaws exist to humanize a character, and typically to have the character develop past that flaw, so a character repeating the same flaw over and over again gets tiring and can make a character unlikeable. Like Vegeta being on his BLAH BLAH BLAH Pride BLAH BLAH BLAH Prince of All [3, 3 Halves, and a Quarter] Saiyans, BLAH BLAH shit WELL after the Buu Saga for no good reason.

Maybe One Punch man should have ended the first time Saitama one-shot someone. That'd make it just another animated video on RU-vid that lasts about 3-5 minutes.

You can tell this dude really doesn’t like DBZ but instead of saying that he has to say “it’s trash” because his ego won’t allow him to admit that he doesn’t have great tastes

i cant believe this dude said that nothing outside of the fights are good when i hear mostly praise about the slice of life aspects of db. if thats one thing super is praised, its the slice of life

Ah yes music a crucial and integral part of a story that really changes the flow of the manga series

Sage had a proper English class when he was in high school, this guy did not.

“ vegeta was the only person who had character development” Piccolo: So, uhhh

Goku is the best written, plus vegetas greatest moment relied on gokus sheer existence lmao

Sage is bout to crash out from watching this

This is proof that not everybody deserves to state their opinions online

Came here to recover from meet the grahams

I bet this dude paid an editor who didn’t agree with him. The clips always contradicting what his saying seems to fit too perfectly.

They got DBZ fucced up

I wasn't the only one who expected him to say some shit like jk or April fools

I have never in my life heard "ya know what I'm saying" so many times in such a short span.

Sometimes I wonder if the people who criticize Dragon Ball ever even watched the show. This guy is saying things that don’t even make sense if you watched the show from start to finish.

What does “Tom holland’s version of dbz” mean?😭💀I’ve never heard that

This guy is definitely trolling, there's no way someone can be this restarted.

You know he didnt understand dbz and db when 1 his brain cant see plot point 2 he doesnt see the most ez goal 3 for him dbz is buff man with cool hair fight things 4 when he talk about characters he doesnt talk about any character 💀 Vegeta Krillin Yamcha Piccolo Trunks Gohan This man just talk for nothing about a show he doesnt understand

If he is complaining about Goku giving Frieza a Senzu Bean right after he killed Krillin then I hope he is upset with Batman for allowing the Joker to live after he killed Robin (Jason Todd) Or how about all of Superman villains who have killed but Superman lets them live. Green Goblin Kills Peter Parker Girlfriend Gwen Stacy Spiderman is about to let him Live but The Green Goblin Kills himself with his own Goblin Glider. (Yes I know Norman Osborne survives in the comics, my point is Peter was going to let him live) Its ok when American Super heroes do it but when Goku does it there is a problem

So the man said naruto ended when he became hokage as if the collasal mess that is boruto diddnt fuckin exist

I think i heard someone say kid Goku scales over Z and Super Goku. The context... He said Goku can't throw someone to space... I said Goku literally put the Rabbit Gang on the moon as a child. To him that just meant Kid goku scales over Adult Goku. Tbf i think he also said something about gag logic is the reason.

If you don’t like the show itself how could you ever like any merchandise ? it starts at the source bruh he ignorant

According to that guy's logic, Bleach should be about bleach... how dare the anime not be about the oxidizing bleaching agent!

The Krillin thing isn’t really a great argument, there are many other anime characters that’d do the same for someone they fell in love with. Krillin did fall in love with 1 kiss but still. Edit: as soon as I continued the video I heard some dumb shit, Kid Goku is an actual demon, he kills so many people and does so many people dirty in ways current Goku would never. That show growth as a character.

''you mfs haven't even watched the show'' BRO SAID HE STOPPED WATCHING IT HUH??

One of my favorite episodes is Goku and piccolo driving.

Lucky star pfp is all I needed to see to know what kind of person this is.

This guy has become one of my favorite RU-vidrs. Crackdown on these fools. He makes me want to start a channel now that I know this can be a thing. I love other animes but I can literally dog walk all of them especially DeathNote. That is for people who have no hands. 😂

The best response to the pacing section is “read the manga” or “watch Kai”

wait till dude in the take figures out naruto became hokage in boruto

Kinda felt like he came in with bias against DBZ, and that seemed valid because even his first point about what DBZ was about was pretty disingenuous.

What I love the most about Dragon Ball Z unlike the other dragon balls is like it’s just one story about dudes hitting the gym to go fight some strong mother fucker going to destroy the earth. I know that sounds simplified. But like how many times in Z alone is like the set up for a fight just “we got to go somewhere to get some gains and then come back to flex our muscles and box” Like it’s the funniest shit. The only half exception is Namek. But even then, guess whose the one who saves the day? The man who hit the gravity gym before the final battle.

22:16 vegeta let cell power up 💀💀

Gon is notoriously known as far as I remember to be like Hey killua my best friend I'm selfish and going to do what I want even if it's a stupid idea and I don't give af, but ik you can bail me out because I believe in you. Almost remember a line like pretty much to the effect of I can be reckless because I got you to reel me in. That is a character flaw even if he acknowledges it. But that dude doesn't get triggered by a selfish character flaw. He's mad at ones for the sake of others Goku's second chances, Krillin saving 18, or Goku's flex on cells saying Gohan is about to beat the brakes off you so you're going to need this lol. It's funny because I feel most people give Goku more flack for one of the few times he was super prideful which was in someone other than himself his son, but these same people also are always Vegeta lovers or in his case gave Vegeta props for writing. When Vegeta makes way more detrimental choices consistently throughout the series for Saiyan pride, but he is not given as much shit as Goku. In fact, they say that is just the beauty of Vegeta's writing. This is crazy because Goku realistically was ignorant to his mistake or too optimistic at times for the things he gets trashed on the most, Vegeta the smarter of the two knew full and well every time and just said fuck it I do what I want which objectively is worse. Make it make sense.

Plz talk about hxh and aot more i want to hear your opinion on those series

Tell us you read cliff notes without telling us you read cliff notes.

HxH actually still hasn't ended so the argument that it ended when Gon found his dad is just a lie

Sage should debate this dude just cus it'd be mad funny
