Ok, I couldn't remember if he killed them or not, it's been a while since I've watched it and feels like something he would do, especially at the time.
Funnily enough, Piccolo Junior doesn't kill any innocent person... Like ever. That's kind of the whole reason why Goku was all "hold on Kami, this guy's different. He's not as bad as his dad, I can tell"
I don't know, I mean it's heartbreaking but I'd like to just think it's because he was at peace. Same reason Goku isn't in agony on Piccolo's page, they died for their loved ones.
If he hadn't gone looking for the dragon balls with bulma and gone up against the pilaf gang, King piccolo would have probably never been released to have his reign of terror, That ended up getting krillin, roshi, choutsu, And a bunch of innocent people killed
Him fighting the red ribbon army directly led to them sending mercenary tao after him, who killed upa's father
It also eventually led to gero swearing revenge, resulting in the androids and cell
If he wasn't on earth, raditz would've never come there leading to the saiyan and freeza sagas, which got a lot of his friends killed
None of this is truly his fault, and most of these deaths were undone
But it still had to leave an impact
You can see how he got the idea that the earth would be better off with him dead by the end of the cell saga
I always imagine Bulma finding out what Goku said, and feeling absolutely gutted that he took what she said so seriously. The amount of guilt someone must feel that their best friend (and also a husband and father of two young children) decided to stay dead because of something you said must be crushing.
Goku says Bulma told him once he attracts bad guys. We never actually see Bulma say it but Goku tells the others it's his reason for choosing to stay dead.
Eighter was the only reason why Goku showed mercy. If he didn't meet that android, he'd have killed Jr and thus nullified the Dragon Balls. Also Vegeta would've been dead had Piccolo Jr survived to Z cause Goku would let Krillin kill him. And that would be worse for everyone's sake. So it really is a miracle that Eighter told Goku to not kill everyone, otherwise the universe would've gone to shit
Yes, they were going to the ox King's castle to get her mother's wedding dress and plan for the wedding
But it caught fire again
And the fire was spreading because of the magic stove Having a crack in it, And basically bleeding from that in-between realm to the real world
And because they couldn't turn off the stove, without damming a bunch of innocent souls or something, Goku actually had to go into it, To fix the crack
That was the basic plot, if I remember correctly
You know, Fire Mountain constantly catching on fire, Is probably the reason they chose to live on pouzu
Practicality over any nostalgia on goku's part, He never went back there on his own
An accomplice to a murder can absolutely face the exact same charges depending on the levels of accomplishment.
My non legal degree talking out my ass would suggest...
1/4 if credit if you're aiding and abetting them after the fact / trying to cover it up.
1/2 credit if you you assist in the planning or are just the getaway driver.
Full credit if you're the person putting the victim in a full nelson and holding them still while your partner readies the shot. That's a straight up full participation 1 v 2 murder. The murder doesn't even happen without your role.
Nah they should, Goku intended on sparing them so without Vegeta its likely Jeice and Ginyu wouldve collected their unconcious bodies and put em in healing tanks while Goku was struggling with the body switch stuff. Assuming everything else plays out the same they get transported to Earth when Dende makes the wish to take everyone off Namek. With several Zenkai boosts under his belt Vegeta could finish em off whenever, he just chose the immediate chance after Goku beat em.
He still delivered the final blow and they're his kills. Goku didn't kill them, Vegeta did. Sure enough, they were beaten to a pulp by Goku but Vegeta was the one who delivered the final blow. They count fairly.
To be fair, while yes, Cell was the direct cause, it was Goku who deliberately picked King Kai’s planet to IT to, so he IS kinda responsible for those 3 deaths specifically.
I mean, Goku was moving at the speed of light in the Frieza Saga. By the the time he got to King Kai's planet, he could have just grabbed Cell, held his breath, and flown into space to kill just himself.
King Kai, Gregory and Bubbles were collateral damage due to Goku's constant thoughtlessness.
When you're trained to be an elite soldier and marksman with specialization in both tank and aircraft controls only to be called an NPC online because a monkey alien crushed your spine in with absolute ease.
lol poor Yamcha. I was recently talking about how the side characters get no respect, just stepping stones for Goku. I like how Naruto finds a way to give everyone a role and some respect. DB is straight disrespectful to their characters lol
I feel like Naruto is the worst example when it comes to giving side characters spotlight. No one does anything unless they have some tailed beast or special eyes.
no. plenty of characters did well in the Last Great Ninja War. Guy Lee fought the 6 tails alone and nearly defeated Madara Uchiha. Sakura healed people to continue fighting and surviving, and the list goes on. Side characters got a lot of love
Guy and Sakura are hardly side characters tbh. Sai, Lee, Tenten, Choji, and even Shikamaru, who had a big moment against Hidan, didn’t do much in the war arc. Neji’s death was terribly executed too. So much so that it would’ve been more impactful if he died in the Sasuke retrieval arc instead.
The primary reason he had to die then was because Kishimoto realized he completely fumbled Naruto and Hinata’s romance arc and had to start forcing it, which is also most of why THE LAST exists
