...So Goku only reaches ultimate power if he becomes a blonde white guy?
I think the metaphor needs more work.

In the era where all we had was Batman TAS, X Men and Power Rangers, watching shyt like this stuck out:
Tenchi Ryu
Ashtray B!tch
The most gangsta hood GD/BD vice lord roseland ass nikkas was coming up into school everyday with new goku drawings and black and white printed pictures from ask Jeeves and yahoo and images
Literally everyone was addicted

what evidence he turned into a blonde white man is beyond me
all you young nikkas might not know but when we got off school everyday in the 90s, we all watched Toonami, which of course included DBZ
wasnt shyt else on with those kind of action sequences
You might not know, but before Dragon Ball was in English some of us old heads would get tapes from our Chinese, or Japanese friends, and just watch the episodes, uncensored and in Japanese. Chinese kids in my classes, early 90's were super into DBZ.
Black folks have loved karate action movies & shows since the 70’s with Fist of fury
Same way it became popular with white folks.
you calling Goku Samael?that's vegeta breh

ironic though
Dbz is the most popular anime on the planet, with people all over the world loving it. Its popular with black people for the same reason its popular with every race.
You can't tell there are a lot of brehs here who never talk to people outside of black culture

It’s a weird thing to me though, because the amount of people who actually watch anime is a lot larger than the amount of people who are open about it. Huge gap that doesn’t make sense considering how many people watch the shyt lol.

not gonna lie. I'm surprised too.
because I feel like I was the only black male I knew that use to watch it in my preteens back in the late 90s and early 00s. I remember all my homebrehs not fukking with it at all. this is 4th-6th. I remember specifically only discussing it with the 2 mexicacs I fukked with. and then I stopped watching after the Majin Boo saga. I didn't even know they were still making episodes until I was full on in my mid 20s. because nobody was discussing it in middle school or high school. maybe the nerds.
it seems like black folks picked up this DBZ obsession later

It's not black, it's a generational thing. Same way everybody was into wwf, Pokemon, power rangers, etc.
