While Superman's weakness is kryptonite, Goku has many other weaknesses and no, contrary to what many people think his skin is not "bulletproof". A clear example of this was when received a laser attack which pierced the right side of his torso in episode 26 of Dragon Ball Super.
What do you think? Who would win the battle, Goku or Superman?
3. Akira Toriyama hates film and television adaptations
Many Dragon Ball fans will be surprised to know that the creator of the manga not very happy with his adaptations on film and television. In fact, Akira Toriyama himself claimed that "he had to help fix the scripts" and "complained about the quality of the TV series."
4. The racial controversy
The physical appearance of Mr. Momo It was rated as offensive and racist by many fans and activists. As very well they count from ScreenRant His black skin, full lips, turban, and original language (with broken Japanese phrases that painted him as an uneducated character) made many see that he seemed to be a character inspired by slavery. Fortunately, the international dub versions did not copy that type of language.
5. The thousand resurrections of earthlings
Planet Earth has been saved multiple times in the Dragon Ball series. And not only that, but we (the inhabitants of planet Earth) have died and have been resurrected again and again, and again.
Goku and his friends have employed the Dragon Balls to resurrect humanity and fix the chaos caused. Furthermore, the Trunks timeline of the future also shows us a desolate planet and on the brink of extinction by Black Goku and the Androids.
6. Goku is quite irresponsible (and a little lazy)
They are Goku, the main character in Dragon Ball; He is a formidable hero, an unparalleled warrior, an endearing person, and a faithful friend. But … he is also a very irresponsible person, without studies and a horrible father.
To goku all you care about is getting stronger and testing your limits. Oh, and eat. It is part of their nature as Saiyan. This means that in many occasions he cares more about a fast-paced combat than the life of his loved ones or even the well-being of the multiverse. However, this only adds a little more fun to the series. Nobody is perfect!
7. Hitler made an appearance in the saga
Dragon Ball Land is very different from ours. Sure, there are similarities, but we have no flying cars, no dragons, no dinosaurs, no technology capable of storing a spaceship in a small capsule.
But, for whatever reason, the two planets have a World War II dictator in common: Hitler. Although it was censored in the English version of Fusion Reborn, the Japanese version shows Hitler commanding his army after being resurrected thanks to Janemba. Fortunately, they were immediately sent back to hell by Goten and Trunks.
