Right?? Krillin doesn't even need that job, 18 can easily provide for their family because she has that blackmail on Mr Satan.
I guess it's not unusual for people to become cops because they feel powerless in their personal lives.
She took the fall in the World Martial Arts tournament and let him retain the championship, and I think she does this pretty regularly since the other Z fighters outgrew it and don't participate anymore. That's why he's still the Champ - she takes out all the strong competition and then lets him win in the end to retain the title for his brand.
They've got an excellent scam going.
I thought Mr. Satan was the strongest honest-to-god human outside the Z-fighters. It's just that literally demons from fucking hell, understandably, make him nervous. Though if you asked me to cite my sources it would be headcanon all the way down.
He is legitimately strong, but the World Martial Arts tournament draws legitimately strong people out of the woodwork all the time. It was treated as a joke in Z, but in the original Dragon Ball there were serious contenders that would show up for the prize money.
He just has fixers to make sure he stays on top. He's not getting any younger after all!
Also I think Buu does this scam with him too now that I think about it (mostly for fun, it's not like Buu needs money)
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Krillin was my favorite Z Fighter, why'd they have to make him a cop.
Also Yamcha is hotter than most Z fighters. Also Wolf Fang Fist is the coolest name for an attack in all dragon ball that I'm aware of which is up.to the end of Frieza
I think that the basic thesis here is fundamentally wrong, or at least it's clearly wrong sometimes. It's memed to death, but the anime girls these gooners get off to fundamentally don't look like human beings, which is made obvious by the fact that you can't actually coherently imagine one in the real world without either completely changing them or having an abomination on your hands.
"It's called art, sweaty"
In the loosest sense of the term, yes, but my point is that if you are able to make a really arousing cubist woman, calling it merely "an impossibly high standard" and not "some human-inspired thing that gets some people hard" is a confusion. Anime girls are just a more accessible version of that.
"why are you talking about anime when the gooners are mostly 'correcting' non-anime games?"
Because when you see how they correct them, it's clear that anime girls are a major reference point for them.
Like those artists that Miyazaki criticized, these people don't just have high standards, they are coming to prefer the non-human simulacra over humans, at least for their sex objects.
i dunno i've been playing Sparking Zero recently and they have made a point to show Yamcha getting rolled by.....
- the saibamen, which are literally just plants that can explode (yeah yamcha sure you 'won' but come on.....you couldn't have gotten it off your back?? chump)
- Cell Jr which is basically just a stronger saibaman (except they're grown from Cell :))
- Androids
i would not call the man who loses to plants 'strong' he is objectively weak in the Dragon Ball universe of fighters and isn't even the top non Saiyan/Alien Z-Fighter, even accounting for the fact that most citizens of planet Earth have like a powerlevel of like 10.
No way Roshi is stronger than those guys after they trained with King Kai
Post Tournament of Power training, maybe. That def skews it; 'cause now Roshi is the closest human to UI (according to Beerus and Whis iirc at least)
Come now, he's like the third strongest human, and the strongest (Krillin) said at the time that he would have been killed by the saibaman kamikaze too if he wasn't alerted to it by Yamcha's death. Also, it's not like that is in the same dimension as where he is by the end of Z, let alone where he gets in Super, since Dragon Ball is the worst media in the world when it comes to "number go up" power creep.
the saibamen, which are literally just plants that can explode
they're a powerful race of unstable alien plant dudes that freeza's soldiers carry around as backup because they're really strong
Cell Jr which is basically just a stronger saibaman
they're literally as strong as cell himself, they just don't seem to be as refined in technique
that means that until gohan got big mad they were roughly tied for strongest lifeform the universe had ever seen (until later arcs retconned that)
he's just not literally fighting god
Yamcha is much stronger than God actually
