Can I get a......

Thunder tank needed fixin. Ya boy got it. All he was missing was a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Piccolo is a top.

Yeah. This was confirmed in a Piccolo and Gohan hentai I saw a few years ago.

 

[Sickboy007]

If we want to get all identity politics, I think Tien is one of those militia types.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Even RZA agrees;

RZA did not say this. lol

 

[BradC00]

the hell is a dbz

 

[Rur0ni]

Piccolo and Panthro are clearly black, it is known. May have been brought up in a thread years ago, but still true today.

 

[Anung]

Yeah. This was confirmed in a Piccolo and Gohan hentai I saw a few years ago.

That's the only training Gohans gonna get.

 

[Starfish Hero]

& Knuckles

 

[TaterTots]

A long, long, time ago there was talks of a Dragon Ball movie. Anyway, Wesley Snipes was rumored for the role. That movie never happened, but I'd say a lot of people agree.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

 

[Daingurse]

I grew up thinking Piccolo was essentially black, and I probably identified more with the character because of it.

& Knuckles

Yes, of course. It is known.

 

[ThisGuy]

That's the only training Gohans gonna get.

Hit him with that special beam cannon.

 

[Steel]

Now that I think about it, DBZ was really progressive in the sense that they made Goku (white man pretty much) the terrible father and Piccolo Gohan's real loving dad. Combatting stereotypes from day 1.

Then again, DBZ also has Mr. Popo, so...

Yeah, a loving dad that beat the shit out of his adoring son regularly. Progressive. Yep.

 

[Fox318]

Namek is literally Space Africa. Piccolo's a brother.

The blonde haired man came and destroyed their homeland.

 

[Slayven]

Beta Ray Bill is black

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Most ashy black man on television

 

[Oblivion]

Beta Ray Bill is black

Why does he have an Irish accent then?

 

[broncobuster]

If we want to get all identity politics, I think Tien is one of those militia types.

No. Tien is a saint. Not like that Chiaotzu who murdered Lunch out of jealousy.

 

[Slayven]

Why does he have an Irish accent then?

He is black irish

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Yeah, a loving dad that beat the shit out of his adoring son regularly. Progressive. Yep.

Hey, this was during his asshole evil phase.

 

[Two Words]

Yeah, a loving dad that beat the shit out of his adoring son regularly. Progressive. Yep.

Piccolo's treatment of Gohan was correct considering that they were facing the looming threat of extinction.

 

[bobbychalkers]

RZA did not say this. lol

I have that book, it's a direct quote lol

 

[call_kotaku]

Piccolo only powered up when he absorbed dying nameks

I guess that checks out somehow

 

[Bronx-Man]

The blonde haired man came and destroyed their homeland.

Stay woke, my brother.

 

[LongDongJunon]

I said this in a black characters thread back in like '12 and caught a "C'mon son".

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Drake was kicking it with Piccolo....

[Mortemis]

I always felt like he was black. My brothers agree too.

 

[Luigiv]

Green dick is better than bluuuue dick.

Namekians don't have dicks.

 

[Darryl M R]

He's a brother.

 

[Frozenprince]

All I know is that Gohan owes his ass a world's best dad mug.

 

[Einchy]

According to badly printed fan art from the internet on binders from my elementary school, Goku was also black.

 

[shintoki]

All I know is that Gohan owes his ass a world's best dad mug.

Gohan has two dads. We all know Piccolo and Goku had more of a relationship than ChiChi and Goku

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Then what the fuck is Mr. Popo?

 

[DedValve]

Italian. "Mama Mia!"

Both Mama and Mia

Spoiler

o

are spanish words.

Mario and co better hope the switch is a success because we sure as hell are not paying for that wall.

 

[chaosaeon]

Yeah I always kind of felt that too. I really liked his dub in the early episodes too, and that heavy metal scream at the literal first few seconds of Dead Zone was ridiculous.

 

[OldMan]

Now that I think about it, DBZ was really progressive in the sense that they made Goku (white man pretty much) the terrible father and Piccolo Gohan's real loving dad. Combatting stereotypes from day 1.

Then again, DBZ also has Mr. Popo, so...

Goten??

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Well 2Pac was literally Piccolo so that's the only reason you need.
Does anyone know why 2Pac's character was named Piccolo on A Different World? It seems random, but he could've been a DBZ fan. Was it out in America yet?

 

[Alienous]

Doesn't look black to me.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Me and my friends use to say the same thing OP agree with the points you made.

 

[Hydrus]

I always felt like he, and the nameks, were based on Native American Indians, at least personality wise.

 

[Johndoey]

Piccolo is also the best father. Took in a dead dudes kid breh, showed him the ropes and brought him up. Piccolo is a proud brotha.

 

[Regiruler]

PECKING ORDER

 

[Man God]

So is Panthro.

Panthro is totally down with the cause.

 

[Alienous]

Piccolo is also the best father. Took in a dead dudes kid breh, showed him the ropes and brought him up.

Stole a dead dude's kid from the dead dude's wife, had the one job of turning the kid into a warrior, and couldn't even do that.

 

[Hypemaster]

Piccolo was always the realest, hated how everyone else got stupidly more powerful except him by the end of Z.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Stole a dead dude's kid from the dead dude's wife, had the one job of turning the kid into a warrior, and couldn't even do that.

Dont act like Piccolo wasnt turning Chichis grieving ass out on the side.

"Go upstairs and study Gohan while I talk with Uncle Piccolo"

Even Namekiana love PAWGs

 

[SatoAilDarko]

He was green alien of a species with one gender that only drank water and who was omy a few years older than Gohan.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Yup. I don't buy that Scottish heritage garbage, Destro's a brotha.

 

[LionPride]

Dont act like Piccolo wasnt turning Chichis grieving ass out on the side.

"Go upstairs and study Gohan while I talk with Uncle Piccolo"

Lol

But yeah, Piccolo was black as fuck. So was Knuckles. Angry ass dude with dreads


Sadly Lex Luthor was white even though he looked like a lighty.

 

[DarkKyo]

I remember most of my DBZ fan peers in middle school/high school who were black usually considered Piccolo as their favorite character(besides Vegeta who everyone seems to like).
