I've been ntroducing DBZ Kai over the past several months to my 10 year old ands he's been really enjoying it. We just got to the majin Vegeta fight.

I thought I'd share some of his opinions this far. His favorite character is : "that one namekian that became the guardian of earth." Because he thinks it's really cool that a little kid has so much power over earth! His favorite villain is freeza because he "was the first that came to mind" and his favorite fight was between Goku and Vegeta during the Saiyan saga because it "was funny how Vegeta was a huge monkey with clothes and then his tail got cut off by the fat guy. I like it most when it's funny.". Feels like I should have started with dragonball instead.

Your son truly understands what Dragon Ball is all about, far more than a big part of the fan base does.

I got a friend who has no interest in anime or DBZ but does have nephews and cousins who all grew up on it and want to subject her to it often so I told her to bust out a "Dragon Ball was better than Z" and see if she gets any pushback. Maybe it would calm some of em down.


She ran up to me excited one day, laughing because it worked and at least one of her relatives nodded and fist bumped her and let it go.


I was there too, laughing, just off screen.

My kid completely lost interest when Krillin got blown up, like just stopped completely cold after eight hundred episodes of fighting Frieza without bothering to see how it ended

Was it kai or the original series?

After the entrance was destroyed by Piccolo, Dende repaired it and improved the chamber. Presumably, like the Dragon Balls, the Chamber was originally meant to be a sort of legendary reward. When it turned out Goku and co. were just going to abuse it anyway, it made more sense to make it more practical.

Vegeta still blows it up like an rear end in a top hat every once in a while, though.

I can buy this. Vegeta would get pissy and blow it up every now and again then be mad at Goku they have to yell real loud to get out. Bulma is mad after this when his voice is all scratchy and Bra doesn't like it.

Only thing left is for Frieza to taste earth food.
I like he isn't hellbent on killing them, probably figures even if he does succeed, it be more of a pain after they somehow come back to life. He's also probably tsundere in that he's actually kind of grateful for them to get him to get this strong, he would actually enjoy their company if they hung out for a bit

Yeah all of this tracks, they got along enough in the ToP. I bet if he'd just be over the whole galactic army thing he'd enjoy the hell out of training with Beerus, eating great food (he's always hiring chefs), and getting to punch those filthy sayians as much as he can. Sadly Frieza has a business to run and with his dad dead no one to pawn it off on. Capitalism strikes again!

Kai, he was quite young and I didn't think he'd have the attention span for original.

Captain France posted:

Sort of, I tried reminding him that he'd already seen a bunch of these characters die and get revived but he wasn't having it.

What eventually got him back into it, years later, was silly tiktok hypothetical power level videos - for some reason, he latched onto "Xeno's bodyguards" as being important characters and kept asking how they stacked up against all the other characters, and at some point I got sick of trying to explain to him that they were completely irrelevant and had him watch a bunch of Super, and he got back in from there (and did not question Krillin being there in any way).

Dude fuckin loves Broly, but who doesn't
