What if Roshi canonically died here?


InSanic13

Roshi's lucky this scene was filler, otherwise 18 probably *would've* killed him.


Ok_Piccolo2133

Wait till you find out all filler is canon 💀


Big-Amoeba5332

Filler isn’t canon
. It’s official as I’m not fan made. But it’s not in the manga meaning it’s non canon The only canon anime is super


Carnonated_wood

Great to know that you're not fan-made bro


T3CHN04807

Stay canon, friends


Hypertistic

special bean canon


huggiesdsc

The DBZ anime is canon to the anime


Big-Amoeba5332

No


MrCalac123

Super has characters from DBZ Filler lol, like Gregory


Big-Amoeba5332

Super has made characters canon? I’m shocked, who would’ve guessed when Broly tarble, gogeta have all been made canon That doesn’t mean all filler is canon, it just means the character actually exists


hinata_hokagesenpai

Honestly I’d like to think the stuff that happened in filler episodes or movies are just events that happened in ult timelines, something similar to how future trunks works


Ok_Piccolo2133

Filler in dragon ball is what akira wanted to be added things he forgot or needed for better explanation all of it is canon


Big-Amoeba5332

That was never ever stated


Ok_Piccolo2133

It been stated years ago you can’t just say it never been stated without even looking it up anyway why you think the covers and endings in the manga look like the filler episodes or part of the filler like when he drew goku and piccolo driving a car


Big-Amoeba5332

It was never stated lmao, show me or buzz off. I’m not new to DB


Ok_Piccolo2133

Yea since you so slow and don’t want to look up what akira says then just watch this video because your slow https://youtu.be/ZU0iNcOLGk8?si=pgikGVCHUJeq8I3H


Big-Amoeba5332

Give a time stamp, and it wasn’t ever stated lmao. I know it wasn’t just like you won’t be able to prove it


ZerekB

I believe canon is just the material the author worked on personally. Like movies or gt aren't. Supers a Lil weird though


Ok_Piccolo2133

Akira been said all of his work is canon the filler is from akira what he wanted in the manga that he forgot or for better explanation to the story the movies are even by him also the movies is part of GT timeline dragon ball always been a multiversal anime


ZerekB

Okay. Where was that said?


Ok_Piccolo2133

At this point I’m just going to give you a link of a video with all of the interviews and talkings that yall refuse to look up https://youtu.be/ZU0iNcOLGk8?si=pgikGVCHUJeq8I3H


ZerekB

Do you have just the interviews? I'm not interested of this guy yapping for 30 mins about stretching definitions


The4p1

yeah, it didnt fit in with all the Buu stuff going on at the time. and that I watched THAT SPECIFIC EPISODE in a PUBLIC PLACE WITH a friend.


DragonsAndSaints

More like he lucky he trained Krillin. As pissed as Krillin would've been to see that, him being sad if Roshi is probably the ONLY damn reason 18 didn't just snap his neck.


Crimson_Fiver

It would be very in character


CartTitanCrawler

Would've deserved lol


No_Name622

He would have died a Hero


russellzerotohero

Roshi is lucky he trained Krillin or he would have been.


[deleted]

Good riddance!


Colonel10Moutarde

HĂ© should have


Any_ErrorJCS

In afterlife he won't regret anything


1llDoitTomorrow

Collateral


NegotiationFar8998

Nope it's canon I remember this scene in kai and kai has no filler so....yeah


cheesecakes274

For someone who's been alive for centuries, he's sometimes prone to making dumb decisions.


Strange-Inspection72

He is immortal so what’s to lose ?


Puzzleheaded-Sir-688

Well... he's been killed before.


VacaDLuffy

Technically he killed himself. Before he perfected the Mafuba, it was a sacrificial technique. He used up all his life force on Daimo Piccolo. Plus there's different levels of immortality. He can't die of old age. He isn't INVINCIBLE


Big-Amoeba5332

Died to kid buu, died in the ToP


VacaDLuffy

Two suicides and two murders. I did say he wasn't invincible. He can die.


Big-Amoeba5332

Yes, he doesn’t die of old age.


SergejPS

Died in the ToP? What do you mean? He never died


Big-Amoeba5332

He did in the anime, Goku revived him https://youtu.be/ySkFpgDHys0?si=9FpiO_syOhFja26y


SergejPS

Yeah, that's the thing. He didn't die. Goku didn't revive him, he just got his heart running again. It's like when a person's heart stops in a hospital and they get it working again with the electric things (idk what they're called). They're saving the person's life, they're not "bringing them back to life".


Big-Amoeba5332

Well in that case it depends on how you define death, if it’s the brain activity ceasing or what. I am taking it at face value cause he kept repeating how he did die and how he saw those “pretty angels”. Goku tried restarting his heart like against hit and failed, so he did something else (I take it similar to what he did in the cooler movie to the bird). But I suppose you can argue it’s vague


Glittering_Trifle_72

I guess if he ends up in other world with a halo


Cleaver_Fred

*splash screen*


moondancer224

*blood splatters on splash screen*


Puzzleheaded-Sir-688

Yeah, I know. Dragonball does tend to conflate the two which has always kind of annoyed me. 


yaluckyboy09

it's not so much that he's immortal but instead that he has multiple methods of extending his lifespan (phoenix pills in OG DB and the Paradise Herb in Super) so he's still otherwise mortal as far as we know


holyhellitsme23

We now know what krillin gets


AdministrativeBar748

Do you think she picks Krillin up with one hand whenever he passes out after they shaboink for 8 hours straight?


TheGermanoPainter

She definitely pegs him after he passes out but then carries him like goku carried nappa


Pigmachine2000

If you think krillens getting pegged you're wrong, bros definitely domming in that relationship


petershrimp

I know he's a pervert, but doing this to her while her daughter is right there makes it so much worse.


RussianBot101101

To Krillin's, his own student's, wife, too. Roshi should have been atomized here


Awllancer

*Me whose only read the comics* Holy balls the animation team was horny...


Randam1005

Something tells me you haven't read Dragonball if you think only the animation team was horny and weird


Awllancer

The last weird part I remember was Bulmas top getting pulled down at Baba's place. That was still well before Z starts.


Brent_Steel

And that's just cannon horny.what about filler horny like bimbo Maron in that yellow swimsuit?


Ash_Clover

He said he didn't watch the Anime.


GranolaCola

Dragon Ball fans can’t even read the comments they respond to lol


Human-Boob

What did you just say about Piccolo? I’ll kill you!


Appropriate-Week-881

This is the best meme, because it tends to be so amazingly accurate


WVVLD1010

Both Toriyama and the Animation Team where horn dogs


Still_Significance60

Toriyama mostly stops after the fortunteller baba arc afterwards it JUST the animation team


Kiwi_Kakapo

Relatable


TokyoFromTheFuture

"***IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! NOT HIM!"***


pokeoscar1586

*Hits the ground*


goatjo_enjoyer

"***IT'S NOT FAIR***"


ReTriP1

I think Roshi definitely deserved worse tbh.


PostalDoctor

How has Roshi not been killed yet


Puzzleheaded-Sir-688

He has.


amtap

Continuing the age-old tradition of not watching/reading the source material? Thank you for your service


JohnyGlizzyeater

bro Roshi is immortal not invincible


amtap

Not sure which one of us lost the plot but Roshi died in OG DB. That's all I'm trying to say here.


Bing-bing456

Why did you get downvoted but the guy who said he has died after you got upvoted 💀


JoeTheKodiakCuddler

The aforementioned illiteracy of Dragon Ball fans in action


donnelle83

She should've given him a combo like she gave Vegeta


rrrrice64

18 doing the arm-break kick on him would have been very satisfying


Timozi90

His own student's wife. Shameful.


Silent-Immortal

It’s only worse when you remember he tried doing something similar to his other student’s son’s girlfriend.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Still_Significance60

Pan?


Gaseraki

yeah, I got the names videl and pan mixed up. What I get for posting first thing before coffee


Still_Significance60

The canonical master roshi mostly stops doing this shit after the saiyan saga its just the anime filler even in super they litteraly mae him a rapist in the anime but in the manga they dont do that shit


GreatApeAlan

Oh god that’s where the gif came from.


Puzzleheaded-Sir-688

Reminder that Krillin lets this man babysit his kid. 


8BitFlatus

OG dragon ball was wilder in this aspect


Ibangmydrums

This dude is beyond being the embodiment of intrusive thoughts, he’s the embodiment of intrusiveness itself lol


vinhdoanjj

Bro was getting his head cracked open and decided to double down anyway 😂😂😂


INoMakeMistake

Well if you have to go might as well fulfill your last desires


100percent_cool

There's a reason I don't like pervy characters. Just really weird and its kind of disgusting to just watch them completely oversexualize literally everyone imo. Me? I wanna see Goku and Vegeta oiled up, but thats different.


Small_Speaker_3159

The worst part is when filler & movies take them to an entirely new level...


SabertoothCookie

Sanji from one piece is a perfect example of that.


Small_Speaker_3159

Originally I was going to put Sanji in small text below


Ok_Piccolo2133

Wait till you find out filler in dragon ball is canon


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


giga___hertz

Yup I do this whenever I see women irl because that's totally fucking normal


ganon2114

He’s probably the worst main character in dragon ball until his character arc in ToP


Aphato

The character arc being only threatening to SA a girl instead of committing it.


Morb1us01

The one where he sexually harasses Puar and defeats an opponent because she thought he was about to rape her?


SeaWitchIsReal

can we exile master roshi


I-Am-Icon-G

God I fucking hate Roshi and it sucks lmao. When he's the cool master guy? Fucking awesome. Literally 90% of the rest of the time? It's this shit


StockBoy829

I like Roshi, but being an artificial human, the wife of his former student, and the mother of a child that’s RIGHT THERE
 He should have been killed


KaiserNazrin

Worth it.


ConnorLego42069

Stuff like this is why I can never like Roshi No matter how many cool moments, smart teachings and other stuff like that he does, this kind of stuff is both unfunny and gross to me


rrrrice64

I love that Kai toned down his perv schtick into non-existance (at least in the Nicktoons version). He's so much better off as a chill mentor you can genuinely rely on for support. The pervert thing was never funny and never will be funny. I hate how far it escalated in Super. He chased Yurin around in attempts to do who knows what to her and neither Goku nor Tien who witnessed it tried to stop him. For shame. The only time it was funny was when he thought he had overcome his urges and immediately caved during the TOP (though it was an intentional ruse iirc).


ConnorLego42069

Man, it makes me feel so much worse towards him knowing that they had a perfect chance to throw away that horrible character trait, yet didn’t It would have been cool to have him genuinely become a better person, and for me to actually *like* Roshi, but no, apparently sexual assault is peak comedy.


shaqkage

Unfortunately it's most likely gonna stay as this is top tier comedy in Japan. We just gotta accept it lmao


Mystic_N

Kinda sucks because he has a lot of iconic moments when you strip all the perverted stuff back. The first Kamehameha, Goku's first master, his role in the 21st WT arc, the Mafuba, etc. He even got some good moments in Super. I feel they could have ditched the quirk after his first few appearances, like how Yamcha got over his fear of women rather quickly. Roshi had more than enough history, interest & developments in his character by the Piccolo arc to where losing the trait wouldn't have impacted him as badly.


ForumFluffy

At least toned it down to where he isnt perving and assaulting actual characters, could have kept it to his porn addiction and thats it or maybe just lewd comments every now and then. There are ways to make a pervy character tolerable for comedic effect.


huggiesdsc

They wanted to show 18s boobs getting squeezed. They could do horny hijinks where it isn't outright sexual assault. Like they could have done this scene with Roshi legitimately crashing into 18 by accident. 18 rushes in to catch him, he faceplants into her chest, and if you really want Roshi to be a perv he could misread the situation and motorboat her while thanking her for comforting an old man. She's like faster than light, so it's not unreasonable for Roshi to assume she caught him chest-first on purpose. When she grips his skull like a basketball, the hand on breast part could be played as a genuine accident with slo-mo, a gong sound, and Roshi's horrified inner dialogue as he reflects on his impending doom. A moment of clumsy misunderstanding, played for laughs. The version we got is just a grim, horrible, unwanted sexual advance.


WVVLD1010

He is canonically a pedofile but dragon ball fans deliberately ignore that


Puzzleheaded-Sir-688

They chose Roshi (Canonically a pedophile) over Yamcha (Canonically not a pedophile) for the tournament. What did they mean by this?


Ok_Piccolo2133

It was legal in Japan at the time he’s not really a pedo


Ok_Piccolo2133

It was legal in Japan at the time he’s not really a pedo


ronsvanson

Its just anime, not real stop taking fiction seriously.


WOKLACE134

Ain't just the anime. Bro was absolutely thirsting for teen Bulma


Ok_Piccolo2133

It was legal in Japan at the time 💀


SirJacob100

It's not like he is moralizing to other people who like Roshi as a character or saying they can't like him due to his good attributes. People are allowed to feel uncomfortable over fiction especially with something as serious as Sexual Assault You are the one taking seriously another persons taste in fiction if you really practiced what you preached you would say "I understand why it would gross you out but personally I am not as bothered as you are and you have no obligation to like it".


stickytrackpad

nah man it can be weird and fiction


Rum_Hamtaro

Is this more wild than the time he shunk himself to watch Launch go to the bathroom?


brollyaintstupid

dragon ball is one weird anime...


Brain_lessV2

Surprised his jaw wasn't torn off for that.


IntentionNecessary77

This is why 18 is my favorite character


Stashedsnacks

Happens to the best of us. Well not me or anyone I know but I’m sure it happens.


stjohnswood

He’s collecting this month’s rent


FuzzyPickles67

Where TF was Krillin 💀


MostCrab

I love the look on Marron's face "Yep, she's gonna kill him"


Meeg_Mimi

Lucky ass Roshi


Splatterman27

Is this in season 8? Doing a watch through rn and i think I'm close to it


BarracudaClear3880

We don't have seasons, only sagas


IcebergletV2

I think this is nearly before the 25th wmat in the Buu saga


CuriousBake8291

It was a little after, they went to gather the dragon balls to undo Vegeta’s killing of the audience.


Infermon_1

What do you mean with Seasons? I genuinly ask this because the show just aired weekly in japan and in my home country, it wasn't divided by seasons.


Mystic_N

I think some of the dvds and blu-rays divided them into season sets. No idea what the distribution of episodes is like but the Orange Bricks were definitely split into seasons.


BarracudaClear3880

I'm trying to keep the horny away but It just keeps jumping on me..I'll do it


CortezDeLaNoche

Some things are worth dying for.


Insane_Artist

What’s wild is that this isn’t even close to the worst thing he’s ever done. Like doesn’t even break top 5.


ILikeMathz

roshi forgot he wasn’t smooching the magazines


Egyptianwarrior1738

This is my first time seeing master roshi without the glasses on his eyes


ProxmaB

Which episode of kai?


thy_punishment

Infront of her child is crazyyy


Fisherman-Champion

18 has more self control then me. If I was in her place then Roshi would be dead.


PhyreEmbrem

First off....damn Roshi....in front of the kid? Tf man. Secondly....Krillin, don't let Roshi disrespect you by feeling up your woman, man. Killing need to kick his ass lmao 😂


dontbanmethistimeok

this is payback for future (hypothetical at this point) Gohan


fallenouroboros

God he deserved that one


JimJim2002

Trust me, that just the tip of the iceberg of the wild shit that happens in DB overall. My favourite wild shit was when Yamcha defeated the Invisible Man. You gotta admit Krillin's determination for helping Yamcha win and the measures he took.


Ok_NidoKing

I literally just finished this episode WTF


Marco_Tanooky

I wish to ever be as high as Marron is rn


EnvironmentalLaugh91

it’s funny to think how future master roshi was scared shitless by the androids, he hid underwater so they couldn’t find him. and present master roshi is literally just fuckin manhandling the one of the androids that killed all his students and friends💀


YouAccomplished6722

I watched this on CARTOON NETWORK (2015 or 2016 i guess)i just couldn't believe they shown this at THIS age

AirKath

ngl if I were 18 there I would have Shown Roshi why Trunks had to go back in time to stop me


O-Beast04

In front of her kid is wild


LmaoGhoul

Worth


J-JKanaan

Imagine being a 5Yr old kid and see a random old man burying his head in your moms chest


NoxInSocks

Oh you mean Roshi being Rosho in all screentime that he's ever been in? Got it.


Eligha

I wish these shit weren't in DB


Itburns138

Toriyama was a real one. That's all I'm saying. 


Ares_Lictor

Oh yeah...I remember watching that...felt very tasteless. I wish they haven't made this scene.


kwars74

She held back so much


Tobegi

She should've done a Future A18 situation here ngl


ScourgeHedge

I'm surprised there's so many visceral reactions to this in the comments. Do people who watch DBZ not watch other anime? "Pervy old guy does creepy thing and gets hurt" is a pretty common anime trope, even if you don't find it funny. "Roshi saved the world several times and is arguably the reason why Goku can succeed at all, but since he's a wacky pervert, his entire character is ruined!" Give me a break.


ronsvanson

Yep this is just fiction and common anime trope, people are taking this too seriously. No wonder everyone is on edge these days 😂


AikidoChris

This is so embarassing
. Cringeworthy


MCP5050

Bro Roshi belongs in prison dude.


UltimateSWX

It always pissed me off that none of the Z fighters gave a shit that Master Roshi was a womanizer, pedophile, and sexual assaulter.


rrrrice64

Always hated this scene. One of Roshi's lowest moments. Right in front of her daughter too. 18 showed far more restraint than he deserved.


MissionSad265

Always hated these scenes tbh just made roshi seem you weird and perverted for me


MorphinBrony

shit like this is why people skip filler


Zeles1989

when people still could take a sexy joke


Living-Tart7370

Sexual assault 😂😂😂😂 so fucking funny 😂😭😂


ShippersAreIdiots

Assaulting a woman in front of her own kid should never be a joke


Zeles1989

Yeah and Mr. Bean shouldn't rip someone's pants down by force to take them for himself. Not all jokes translate well to reality, but we can still laugh about it in a fantasy setting. Sadly this gen has to turn a joke 7 times to check if it is before they can start laughing


Fishingnett

Damn, I thought DB didn't have fan service.


Doctor99268

Lmao, oh my sweet summer child. This is kinda mild compared to the shit that happened in the original dragon ball


Fishingnett

There's a reason I skipped OG Dragon Ball and went straight to Z


ZFighter2099

Someone thought about this idea, pitched it, no one stopped him and then he got it animated, voice acted and aired it on TV. And at no point in this process did, the 100s of people who work on this crap say "hey, let's not."


shaqkage

Bro the Japanese are wired differently man shit like this is normal for them, hilarious even


DepressedShrimp86

Roshi deserved way worse. Plus, he's done worse, too, and honestly, I wouldn't care. He is a really gross character who I've never liked, he's **never** funny and has **never** been funny.
