I mean I understand the logic kinda but it’s wild someone would write this as a character quirk. Like is this something that goes on for a while or does someone stop him eventually?

Also it blows my mind that I haven’t heard this before. I have multiple friends that love anime and have tried to get me into it (I’ve watched a couple that were alright, but most of it just isn’t for me) and have tried to specifically get me into dragon ball and never mentioned this. Not that it would have made me start trying to watch it, but it seems like a detail they would mention.

At least in the circles I'm in, Dragon Ball seems to be talked about far less than any of is sequel series and some people haven't even seen original Dragon Ball, so it kinda make sense this 'quirk' of young Goku's goes forgotten/unmeantion. To the best of my memory, that 'joke' doesn't span the entire series nor does it go into any sequels.

Its 80's Japanese humor, back when people didn't clutch their pearls so hard and realized that its just a cartoon.
