>Goku is the least [HEADCANON]
BOOM, NEXT QUESTION

He's not so popular anymore, Broly will soon replace him.

Because too many people had DB as their first shonen/anime.

Most people started with Z and in Z he was the guy people looked up to solve the problem

big lasor go boom

ezclap

Nah, for real to OP, Goku's the tried and true mantra of getting your ass whooped, but you get up the next day and try harder and succeed. Looking at early DB, this is how every encounter gets framed. Every time Goku needs to advance as a character, it's because either a) he gets his ass whooped or b) that one time krillin dies.

In reality he would be considered a power hungry psychopath, which is exactly what happens to similar characters in pic related.

DBZ just isn't written well.

>considered a psychopath

cringe nobody cares about your dead series huntard

every thread

>character needs to be relatable to be popular?

Yeah, usually?

Because he strong and beats up bad guy AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>how the hell is he so popular
He is the least relatable protagonist ever. Kids don't wanna relate to anyone retard, they want to imagine themselves being capable of destroying universes while having cool golden auras and spikey golden hair with bangs that actually look cool and not gay like in real life.

RELATABLE DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN GOOD YOU FUCKING DUMB NIGGER. IT IS JUST A QUALITY IT IS NOT AN INDICATOR OF GOOD WRITING. NO I AM NOT DEFENDING DRAGONBALL IT IS A SHIT SERIES I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE CLEAR THAT A CHARACTER DOES NOT EVER NEED TO BE RELATABLE TO ANYONE.

No, he is popular with adults who grew up with Goku and fantasized about being able to shoot kamehame beams from their hands or going SSJ while trying to push a huge turd out in the toilet. Meaning, Goku is popular with kids, it just happens that these kids eventually grow up and nostalgia is a hell of a drug so they never stop liking him, but they don't START liking Goku as adults. This has never and will never happen.

In most dubs he wasn't a braindead fighting faggot with a granny voice

You don't have to relate to someone to like them.

>Goku is the least relatable protagonist ever,
Which is why I like him. I don't want designated self-insert characters for me to relate with, I want out-of-this-world characters for me to follow their adventures and forget reality.

Sorry to break it to you user, but most if not all shounen protags are schizos in their own way. From Gon, Naruto, Goku, Ichigo etc to Asakura Yoh from Shaman King and Recca from Flame of Recca. All of them are psychopaths.

>a man who strives to be the best version of himself through physical training and hard labor
>not relatable
Okay fatass.

Because all of them rip off Goku. Especially fucking G*n

People watched the dub.

Dragon Ball Super sort of turned all the characters into an exaggeration of their own character traits. They are all 1 dimensional characters now, there was more personality in DBZ.

>He says when the most popular character, and the one most Hunterfags use as Avatar of the series, is a psychopath.

Apparently krillin being introduced save the manga from being axed because readers thought Goku was too much of a Mary Sue/Gary Stu that was too good at literally everything

>Discount Yuyu Hakusho

why would a character need to be relatable to be popular
is luffy relatable? is ranma? is sephiroth?
no
