  1. ⁠ @syedbaqir2687 I’m sorry but this is a disgraceful thing to say about someone who just passed away, someone whose work brought joy and inspiration to so many people. I’d recommend keeping that vitriol to yourself.

  2.  @7Anakin7 Not only that, but they were genuinely dangerous people. Yamcha was a violent bandit, Tien was being groomed into becoming an assassin, Piccolo was a literal embodyment of evil, and Vegeta was a pirate who destroyed and enslaved civilisations. I'd say Krillin was less of a villain, as his villainy was just being jealous of Goku while training with Master Roshi and trying to cheat at some of the early training challenges.

  3. I always liked the fact that many characters in the show start out as villains but eventually turn good and even become heroes. While Goku is pure of heart, he isn't judgemental towards others, as he is rather willing to make peace with foes than take revenge against them for the harm they've committed. By offering kindness and acceptance to them, those people genuinely change for the better. I find this theme to be profoundly humanistic and quite surprising coming from a show where strong warriors punch each other. Krillin starts out jealous of Goku and a cheater but builds up a camaraderie with Goku through while training and going on adventures together. Yamcha starts out as a thief and a bandit who tries to rob Goku and his friends, but ends up associating with them and proves to be a dependable ally. Tien is a rival, groomed by his sensei into becoming an assassin, wants to kill Goku, but learns to let go of his anger and becomes a valued friend and a hero. Piccolo Junior, a literal embodyment of evil, destroys the tournament arena, vows to take over the world and almost kills Goku before being defetead himself, yet Goku spares him and even offers him a healing senzu bean – this along with other events leads Piccolo to eventually become a good person, a friend and a hero. Vegeta is another poignant example of this - a ruthless pirate who destroys and enslaves planets becomes a reluctant anti-hero and later a genuine hero. Also Majin Buu becomes a peaceful creature thanks to his friendship with Mr. Satan. It reminds me about Daryl Davis, the black man who befriended members of the Ku Klux Klan, and as their friendship blossomed, the Klansmen realized that their hate was misguided and gave up their memberships.

  4.  @syedbaqir2687 That's quite a disgusting thing to say. I'm sure in real life you are probably a better human than the bits of hatred and vitriol you're currently spewing in Youtube comment sections would indicate. So with that said, I'd just recommend you sit this one out, go reflect on your life and choices, and stop posting troll comments online.
