The publisher argued against aging the characters because they thought teen/adult Goku wouldn't have appealing adventures like kid Goku. When they let Goku grow into an adult, Dragonball's popularity grew faster than ever.
The fact that Toriyama was threatening them with leaving the series if they dont let him draw adult Goku is so crazy, aging mcs was not common at all back then
@@soyakat its funny that making goku grow up nearly was the end of dragonball but then it probably was one of the smartest decisions toriyama ever made
1:23 In Japanese Master Roshi asks, “So Oolong, are you still collecting girls panties?” Oolong replies, “It’s been three years and that’s the first thing you ask?” That explains the blushing
You have to remember that neither Yaumcha nor Krillin had ever actually seen King Piccolo, so they wouldn't know what he looked like, while Goku and Tien have.
😢Seriously, when krillin died and goku said- “I’m not hungry” … still tugs on my strings till this day, him already knowing what was wrong even though everybody should have been the same when he said that
@@cardosutoro9 the z fighters have never been known to just watch tv or keep up with social media or news. Most of the time they're off training in the woods or mountains. which sometimes makes them naive to what's happening. Usually, Bulma and the gang are watching tv when the big fights happen later in Z.
@@lordhelmetheadproductions that's true, except when it comes to big villains that make news, when it comes to that they usually are in tune with what's going on in the world
He's still saying the same thing just in different ways. He's saying Kami told him he'll restore the moon if he let's him cut his tail. You don't really think a moon can just come back by itself?😅
he variates it a lot, like you say it's deeper in general when he gets older, and then when he's in Super Saiyan 3 (and 4 in GT) or whenever he gets serious in Dragon Ball Super Sean deepens it even more and adds more grit to it
To clarify what happened with Goku's tail. Kami never restored the moon after Roshi destroyed it because if he did then Goku may have transformed again and caused massive damage. When Goku was training with Popo, Kami removed Goku's tail in a special way to prevent it from ever growing back. Once the tail was removed there was no danger of Goku transforming again so Kami restored the moon (presumably with the dragon balls).
I remember this episode back in the 90s (i know im old) would watch it on the mexican channel with dbz wasnt shown yet and no internet to spoil it, it was insane seeing goku randomly grown up for the fist time without knowing it would happen
the one thing i noticed is that usually everybody shows up first and goku at the last minute but the first fighter to be there first was goku thats a shocked
This is the episode that makes you miss little kid Goku, enjoying that warm reunion and at the same time feeling nostalgic. Believe me, this episode hits hard when you're in your 12-13's when you are morphing into a teenager, when everyone are exited to grow up but at the same time miss your old little self while watching this exact episode. Personal experience, and from other classmates too.
I think the reveal of Goku all grown up is better in the dub because of the fact that he has a different voice actor doing him now that he’s older. In the Japanese, you would have immediately recognized Goku’s voice. But here, it’s completely different. It’s only when he starts referring to the others as he usually did that they (and the audience) realize it’s Goku
@@bensenzo I listen to his voice and I don't ever hear "Old lady". I may have come across as rude and I apologize for that. I just feel like people who say that haven't actually listened to her Goku and only base that off of seeing a picture of Nozawa. She doesn't sound like a old lady even in Super.
@@Jaysterrr when I made that comment I didn't even know he was actually voiced by an old woman. That's just how he sounded to me😅 I was just especially put off when goku was powering up, his screams didn't sounds like they came from a warrior. I couldn't take him seriously. Him and gohan. The dub version however definitely sounds like a warrior when he screams. But that's just me🤷🏾♂️
On the whole moon being restored thing, what happened is that Kami wanted to put the moon back together but he knew that Goku would transform if he did. So he told Goku that he needed to get rid of his tail to do it.
Seeing you so full of joy is wonderful! This truly is one of the most wonderful episodes. I recommend watching it in Japanese eventually because its really better that way. Also, getting Masako Nozawas Goku is just great.
16:27 Later on in Dragon Ball Franchise’s it was mentioned About Saiyan Race are like Tiny from toddler- preteens. Whenever they reach to their mid - Late teens they receive late bloomer/growth sport grow very tall like plants.
The only example I can think of this being different was with Gohan getting a slight growth spurt leading up to the cell games. probably due to the intense training with his father in the time chamber when he came out at age 11.
We have ALL I've been waiting for you to see this episode. You are absolutely going to love this last part, I'm certain of it! And yeah you're right, Krillen and yamcha actually never saw King Piccolo. Also, King piccolo never actually wore a turban. I think the turbane was an attempt to go undercover, as he's known as Ma junior during this tournament.
Goku: Who else but me has hair like this? Me: Well, there's your father, Bardock. Your second unborn son, Goten. A saiyan named Turles. Your future descendant, Goku Jr. That's all I got
@@fredcoleman1538 I didn't count him because that's Zamasu in Goku's body. But if he does count, might as well count Ginyu too when he stole his body. Only difference is that Zamasu had a new name while Ginyu didn't
Oh...it was insane watching this episode back in the day. Seeing Goku all grown up was unreal. People who only saw Dragonball after DBZ will never have this kind of experience.
Whats great, is this is mirrored in the manga. Throughout the series at each tournament, toryiama had given goku the same pose. And each time you can actively see the size difference in goku. People like to say toriyama didnt have a good memory, but he was still really good at these kind of small details.
The right translation when Goku talks about his tail is "Kami get rid of my tail for good, for not causing problem in the future. And the tail won't be able to grow back again"
That little comment Goku made - that "the moon could be restored if [he] lost [his] tail," is believed to refer to Kami having struck a bargain with Goku (I'll bring the moon back, but only if we get rid of the thing that makes you turn into a giant unstoppable monster when you see it). Goku did not understand why until the Saiyan Saga, when he saw Vegeta transform. This is very widely accepted to be true, but I haven't actually been able to find a source on it. Regardless, it's the most reasonable explanation.
2 things that stand out to me watching this. First, i wish I could have really grasped how all the fans reacted when you saw the transition of Goku from a kid to a teen. We have a small bot of growth with Bulma as well, but Goku always being so tiny to his height and voice changing must have been such a shock. Secondly, at 17:21 the narrator calls Piccolo an "alien". One would guess this was dubbed after Z had first aired in America, because otherwise that would have been a big spoiler if you were watching DB first before Z since he's always referred to as a demon at this time.
Something I find amusing is that you can hear Masako Nozawa trying real hard to make her voice sound deeper this episode now that she's playing an adult man, however it then starts to mellow out over the next few episodes into the Adult Goku we all know.
One of the most underrated scenes rvem though it's anime only its pretty touching to see Gohan reunite with Goku. I wish they have this opportunity in a upcoming Super movie where Goku reunite with his past after zeno wipes out the universe.
I do not know everything but don’t take it easy on me. I do enjoy your material and find it to be pleasingly soothing to new possibilities of shows I remember as a child
16:29 Remenber Krillin and Yamcha never saw King Piccolo, Krillin was killed in the begining by Tamborine and Yamcha was injuried since the other tournament also Yamcha just see in person the killer of Krillin Tamborine, never saw King Piccolo! The only caracthers here who knows how King Piccolo is are Master Roshi, Chaoz, Tien and Goku!
About the moon part...basically Kami restored the moon himself and cut Goku's tail in order to prevent any transformation into Oozaru. Then it was destroyed a second time by Piccolo in Z (but you already know that).
Yamcha and Krillin only faught Tamberin, and he had wings and long claws and sharp teeth. As for the green look. They got all kinds of different looking people including Dino people.
I think the reason goku’s growth feels so drastic is because he looks his age where as up till now he’s look much younger than he actually was for instance when goku fought king piccolo he was over 3 years older than gohan was when he fought cell yet you’d think it was the opposite just from looking at them
Here comes the best tournament and the conclusion of dragon ball. I love it. All the fights are good in choreografie and meaning. I‘m so hyped! Lets go!
16:10 - 16:37 To be fair, neither Krillin nor Yamcha ever actually laid eyes on Piccolo. Krillin was only killed by Tambourine, not Piccolo, and Yamcha arrived at the battlefield right as Piccolo was defeated. So neither of them actually fully know what Piccolo looks like. Tien is the only one to have faced Piccolo in person, so it makes sense that he's the only one among them who would recongize that Jr. looks familiar.
In Japanese, Goku's voice actress is the same as a kid and as a grown-up, which is why I think to sub watchers Goku still feels like "our sweet little monkey boy" even when he grows up or achieves godhood and stuff in Super. Not saying that him growing up wasn't a shock, but then he opens his mouth and you go "oh, that's still Goku!", cause it's the same voice.
@@countprophet5881 I don't know if they thought about replacing her, but she was THE VA Toriyama handpicked for Goku, so he would likelly fight if they wanted to recast her. Almost all kid characters retained their VAs too.
@@countprophet5881 That's a myth. Nozawa did say she assumed she would be replaced like she usually does for her other young boy roles but she didn't so you maybe you heard that and misremembered.
Honestly wasn’t expecting the growth spurt of Goku happening this fast kinda miss kid goku 😭. Krillin and Goku reuniting is so cute love this friendship.
For me, this episode represents a critical turning point in Goku and Krillin's relationship. This is the moment they went from being best friends to brothers.
Apparently people like Goku have sudden growth spurts around this age, so for most of their life they would look like small children through their childhood and most of their teens compared to most people
Well, Goku was already considerably larger during the King Piccolo arc, actual having arms where he was kind of a ball during the first tournament. And believe it or not, this is not Goku's full lenght, he is still not long as Yamcha and still dwarfed by Tien. He grew pretty tall when reappearing during Z, when he is one of the taller ones of the group, only beaten by Tien and Piccolo Jr.
Toriyama just tends to make limbs longer during combat (which is why he wanted to make Goku grow so much, because it's hard to draw fights with characters being so short), we also see this with Gohan vs Cell, he's super jacked while fighting then, when everyone was at Kami's Lookout reviving everyone, he's almost half the size.
Hi Melon Great reaction to original Dragon ball Your reaction all ways make me happy It was cool seeing Adult Goku And Krillin Piccolo Jr introduction was great as well Tien still got the Demon king Piccolo ptsd that rough buddy
apparently they told toriyama that making the mc grow up (something that I believe was never done before in a shounen) was a terrible idea but he did it anyway, now people EXPECTS at least one timeskip on every shounen.
I just got to this episode the other day and my reaction was the same. I have gotten so attached too little goku it feels so bitter sweet! Although I am excited to see the rest of the episodes as he grows up even more with kiddos and wife.
At this point in the show, Piccolo is still a member of the Demon Clan so the anime/dub calling him an alien at this point is stupid. Remember the god of Earth is an alien. Being an alien in Dragon Ball does not stop you from being a demon.
Krillin being so grateful for his best friend bringing him back to life❤ back before Vegeta showed up. But i mean. Vegeta may be Goku's "best friend/rival" Krilling has always stayed his true best friend
It is a really nice episode. A turning point and big time skip that really mattered. I like how the anime push the emotions to this and I really like that Goku was´t last to come among the fighters. Now I think the scene Piccolo enters it´s suppose to be he was close and felt annoyed by the rocks coming towards him and that´s why he blows them up, but yeah it dose look like he protects them for no reason and sure it helps to make us hope there is more to Piccolo.
They were probably saying it was one of Shen's boys because they sensed his energy, and they had no idea about Piccolo jr. Super strong guy we don't know about? Must be one of the Crane school students.
Junior definitely wasn't pure evil like his father. King Piccolo was Kami's dark tendencies which were definitely transferred to Piccolo Jr, but this one definitely wasn't as heartless. He wants to rule and have dominion over the earth and it's denizens but you can't rule them if they're all dead. So he does have moments where he'll spare people. At least at this point in the story.
At the end, the narrator says "Is Goku strong enough to defeat the alien." Thanks for the spoiler, Narrator-san. At this point, the narrative conceit is that he is a demon.
While it's very subtle, goku actually did grow a little throughout the series. If you look closely and compare his design in the king piccolo arc and the 1st 2 arcs, you can see he's a little taller and leaner.
You are right on how insane it was for fans to read or watch Kid Goku and suddenly Adult Goku appears. As we can see Anime characters rarely age up even to this day. Ash and everyone in Pokemon have been the same for over 20 years. Due to the risk of Dragon Ball aging up Goku we have things like Naruto time skips or One piece seeing the characters grow up. Now imagine the whiplash when it happens again and Gohan appears!
15:20 Im equally lost. It seems like they wished for the moon back under the condition that Goku cut off his tail. They are just going to breeze past that.

in the latin america version he says, " Kamisama cut it off, i dont understand but he said the moon belongs in the sky ".
Krillin got KOed by Tambourine and missed the King Piccolo arc, while Yamcha basically watched tv the whole time.
I like the subtlety of Sean Schemmel's portrayal of Teen Goku. It's pitched slightly higher than his usual performace.
he variates it a lot, like you say it's deeper in general when he gets older, and then when he's in Super Saiyan 3 (and 4 in GT) or whenever he gets serious in Dragon Ball Super Sean deepens it even more and adds more grit to it

I believe they did want to replace her too, but Toriyama fought for her to stay as Goku right? Or is that just a myth?
@@countprophet5881 I don't know if they thought about replacing her, but she was THE VA Toriyama handpicked for Goku, so he would likelly fight if they wanted to recast her.
Almost all kid characters retained their VAs too.
@@countprophet5881 That's a myth. Nozawa did say she assumed she would be replaced like she usually does for her other young boy roles but she didn't so you maybe you heard that and misremembered.
When they first reunite roshi ask oolong if he still collects “collectibles”😅, I think they change it on he dub because of rules
reason for goku's growth spurt. he is a saiyan. they start off small before having a large growth spurt around 15
Honestly wasn’t expecting the growth spurt of Goku happening this fast kinda miss kid goku 😭. Krillin and Goku reuniting is so cute love this friendship.
Yeah we never see how Yamcha got his scars. At least we see how Tien gets his.
For me, this episode represents a critical turning point in Goku and Krillin's relationship. This is the moment they went from being best friends to brothers.
Apparently people like Goku have sudden growth spurts around this age, so for most of their life they would look like small children through their childhood and most of their teens compared to most people
Well, Goku was already considerably larger during the King Piccolo arc, actual having arms where he was kind of a ball during the first tournament. And believe it or not, this is not Goku's full lenght, he is still not long as Yamcha and still dwarfed by Tien. He grew pretty tall when reappearing during Z, when he is one of the taller ones of the group, only beaten by Tien and Piccolo Jr.
Toriyama just tends to make limbs longer during combat (which is why he wanted to make Goku grow so much, because it's hard to draw fights with characters being so short), we also see this with Gohan vs Cell, he's super jacked while fighting then, when everyone was at Kami's Lookout reviving everyone, he's almost half the size.
Hi Melon Great reaction to original Dragon ball
Your reaction all ways make me happy
It was cool seeing Adult Goku
And Krillin
Piccolo Jr introduction was great as well
Tien still got the Demon king Piccolo ptsd that rough buddy
apparently they told toriyama that making the mc grow up (something that I believe was never done before in a shounen) was a terrible idea but he did it anyway, now people EXPECTS at least one timeskip on every shounen.
I just got to this episode the other day and my reaction was the same. I have gotten so attached too little goku it feels so bitter sweet! Although I am excited to see the rest of the episodes as he grows up even more with kiddos and wife.
And since that day, Krillin will always look like a kid next to Goku 🤣
At this point in the show, Piccolo is still a member of the Demon Clan so the anime/dub calling him an alien at this point is stupid. Remember the god of Earth is an alien. Being an alien in Dragon Ball does not stop you from being a demon.
A reactioner to og Dragon Ball?! Why i didnt know abou it?! Awesome reaction 👌
It was Indeed crazy to see tall Goku, but im glad we got more small Gokus
Krillin being so grateful for his best friend bringing him back to life❤ back before Vegeta showed up. But i mean. Vegeta may be Goku's "best friend/rival" Krilling has always stayed his true best friend
its actually explained saiyans get growth spurts late
And puar even doesn't initiate to get it in the 1st place. you're floating for Cat's sake.
wait until she finds out who else enters the tournament
It is a really nice episode. A turning point and big time skip that really mattered. I like how the anime push the emotions to this and I really like that Goku was´t last to come among the fighters. Now I think the scene Piccolo enters it´s suppose to be he was close and felt annoyed by the rocks coming towards him and that´s why he blows them up, but yeah it dose look like he protects them for no reason and sure it helps to make us hope there is more to Piccolo.
i really enjoyed this video.Thank you! 🥳
Goku was in the time chamber during his training. So he aged like 4 years from when he was a kid. He’s probably 18 right here on this episode.
They were probably saying it was one of Shen's boys because they sensed his energy, and they had no idea about Piccolo jr. Super strong guy we don't know about? Must be one of the Crane school students.
Junior definitely wasn't pure evil like his father. King Piccolo was Kami's dark tendencies which were definitely transferred to Piccolo Jr, but this one definitely wasn't as heartless. He wants to rule and have dominion over the earth and it's denizens but you can't rule them if they're all dead. So he does have moments where he'll spare people. At least at this point in the story.
At the end, the narrator says "Is Goku strong enough to defeat the alien."
Thanks for the spoiler, Narrator-san. At this point, the narrative conceit is that he is a demon.
If i have to choose my two top sagas from Dragon Ball Classic it will be King Piccolo and Piccolo Jr saga as my favorites
Krillin and Yamcha actually never say Piccolo, so it makes sense they don't know him
While it's very subtle, goku actually did grow a little throughout the series.
If you look closely and compare his design in the king piccolo arc and the 1st 2 arcs, you can see he's a little taller and leaner.
Roshi needs to be on every list imaginable
Its between yamcha, goku and adult gohan as the best handsome. Maybe even piccolo. I would imagine piccolo looking like handsome squidward 😂😂
Ya forgettin my boy trunks
You are right on how insane it was for fans to read or watch Kid Goku and suddenly Adult Goku appears. As we can see Anime characters rarely age up even to this day. Ash and everyone in Pokemon have been the same for over 20 years. Due to the risk of Dragon Ball aging up Goku we have things like Naruto time skips or One piece seeing the characters grow up. Now imagine the whiplash when it happens again and Gohan appears!
15:20 Im equally lost. It seems like they wished for the moon back under the condition that Goku cut off his tail. They are just going to breeze past that.
@7:01 Bulma thirsting hard. 😂
