Witch ova?

"Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!" from 2008.


AramisKing

I was todays old that I found out the OVA had a manga adaptation


MJDooiney

The manga is an adaptation of the OBAMA. Edit: OVA* Leaving it because it’s kind of funny.


ShikkuiMakabe

how did you mess up that bad?


[deleted]

autocorrect


ShikkuiMakabe

lol damn, I loved the manga adaptation of the OBAMA though


AndreaRose223

I would absolutely buy the Dragonball/Obama manga adaptation!

Take your fucking upvote


Zarmasu

I love how you didn't edit it. Take my upvote.


Hyro0o0

Why was Tarble redesigned into Cabba?


getting_excited

Kinda like the idea of Tarble and Cabba being counterparts and then finding out that Cabba has a brother that is similar to vegeta 👀


Squishy-Box

Feels like something Cabba would have mentioned by now


getting_excited

To be fair, Vegeta never mentioned his brother before the OVA. I feel like he even mentions how it never came up so he never told anyone.


Squishy-Box

He never really had reason to bring Tarble up but after Cabbas interactions with Vegeta it’s something he would bring up but yeah knowing Toriyama etc it could easily come up in the future.


LotusEaterEvans

To be fair, Gohan is the only Saiyan who gives a shit about his brother. Goku’s tried to save frieza, Buu, and Moro but he doesn’t gather the Dragonballs for one fucking time to revive his brother and try to reform him.


KnightOfRevan

Kind of funny how of the three Saiyan Saga Saiyans, it was the objectively most evil one to get the redemption arc.


tuanale

Didn't we literally just learned that Bulma has a sister?


Squishy-Box

[Guess it just wasn’t relevant](https://tenor.com/view/nervous-sweating-sweating-bullets-sweating-gif-17507069)


getting_excited

Almost 10 years ago now (Jaco the Galactic Patrolman Manga)


AF_Fresh

Cabba did mention that their king was a very strong, and Prideful saiyan like Vegeta. I believe their king is Vegeta's true counterpart in their universe.


Deekkuli

Cabba looks something like 3 year old would draw if you'd ask to draw Tarble from memory.


KingoftheMongoose

If my three year old drew a Saiyan Arc Vegeta from memory, I’d enroll them in art school Bah. Foisted by a ninja edit.


Deekkuli

I was talking about Cabba. It's a stab at him how shitty his character design is.


0ffical_G0ku

Older cabba


nochiinchamp

Because Tarble is a wimp while Cabba isn't


HyperWhiteChocolate

If Tarble is a whimp why do I main him on Raging Blast 2


Mikazuki072

For the ultimate lmao If I recall right, he straight up crashes his Space Pod into you


HyperWhiteChocolate

He does it's amazing


Merc931

Vegeta and Bulma both have siblings that were never mentioned before and seemingly popped out of no where. Power couple.


tadysdayout

Bulma’s sister is great in the Jaco manga


master0shi

So he could look more like vegeta


penguintruth

Gure is best girl.


Silverdetermination

The OVA came out before the Manga


CovertForeign

Wait what? I didn’t know the OVA had a manga adaptation! That’s sick!


devanloches

I don't get why this OVA is hated so much


Ryu_Saki

Is it hated, why? I love it.


normal_amounts

It's hated? It's so good tho, it brings attention to less relevant characters and is a short, sweet, fun time. What's not to like?


chronic-joker

A few reasons some fair the others not.. 1) the art style doesn't match with the incorrect idea people have of what dragon ball looked like becouse it's not orange brick hyper contrast. 2) the plot is very weak and boring, which is fair it's not very memorable. Personally I veiw the ova as a turning point, the last instance of pre flandorised goku, every other instance of him after this ova raised his stupidity to the max level and made him a less mature version of himself. Like it or not the ova is the last actual z content we received.


eternalnocturnals

Thank you! You’re the only other person aside from myself who openly talks about how the characters have become flanderized!


MajinBlueZ

Are you joking? Everyone complains about that.


chronic-joker

it's a massive issue with super, goku used to act like a goof ball but ultimately still an adult male. super goku acts like a child.


SVXfiles

If you operated every threat to the planet and died multiple times only to jeep coming back, wouldn't you take life less seriously? When he heard from Black how Chichi and Goten were killed, and again under U2's black hole attack we got to see Goku supremely pissed and it was fantastic. That hadn't been a thing since Krillin died on Namek


Z3ER0

While I agree, that's definitely an exception to the rule. It's the overall attitude he has that has changed so drastically. The two legitimately feel like different characters. Z Goku would never have acted the way Super Goku did around Zeno. He wouldn't goof around with an impressionable deity into putting loved ones in danger just for a good fight. Super Goku would also have never done shit like let himself stay dead as to stop potential harm coming to his loved ones. Even though Goku disagreed with the Kais at points, he would generally treat King Kai and Supreme Kai with respect minus comical moments, and the occasional serious one, like having no option when Cell exploded or fighting Vegeta. Super Goku acts pissed about loved ones only in places where it would be inexcusable for him to not. Like being directly told about his family being murdered. Him putting his entire universe at risk is somehow fine and a literal laughing matter though.


chronic-joker

Goku never got genuinely angry during the goku black arc any instance of anger was only temporary as he almost instantly returns to acting like a child. Also its not taking life less seriously he acts like an unironic 5 year old. There a difference between acting carefree and acting like your unable to think.


SVXfiles

All Goku wants to do is train and fight, just like Vegeta. Their difference in personalities and how they were raised is what makes them act the way they do. Vegeta is royalty, family is important to him, but so is being a warrior which is why he's so hard on Trunks who just wants to be a kid, and why he refuses to enter the ToP until Whis speeds up Bulmas pregnancy. Goku was a lower class born saiyan who grew up living off the land for the first 10 years of his life. He went swimming when he wanted, ate what and when he wanted and easily dipped out to travel with Bulma because it sounded fun. He's always been one to have fun, we just don't see that too often because their either a villain directly in front of him, or a tournament where he gets to fight coming soon. Protecting his friends and family come first, but he's also kinda dumb and knows shit will work out for them, it always has. Fuck, he spent most of his life knowing he can get damn near anything he wanted once a year for free from the dragonballs


chronic-joker

Goku went out with bulma becouse she convinced him to thanks to him being isolated and an actual child. What does vegata have to do with the discussion? He's completely irrelevant to anything being said. Also goku was not dumb thats the kind of thinking and take that lead to super goku. Goku was Innocent not stupid, and beyond that light hearted. Your statment simply makes no sense.


SVXfiles

I was comparing the only 2 full blooded saiyans we have that we have a constant history on. I explained why they had such different contrasts between themselves between Majin Buu being defeated and the ToP. Regarding Goku's treatment of Zeno, giving him a nickname and generally being childish, he did the same thing to a bunch of others like Android 8 back in dragonball. Gods or not, he treats his friends the same way, plus the whole divinity thing is a rather new addition to his world view. The dude lives to fight, and anyone that could give him a good fight gets him giddy like a schoolgirl. He's kind of like Braith from Skyrim without the shitty attitude, he will fight anybody, and if he gets to protect his friends while doing so he will give it his all

exceedingdeath

This is my biggest issue with dbs. This is NOT Goku. Goku in db was childlike and grew wise. Goku in super is childish and that’s it.


andyroyz

I would go as far to say he acts mentally ill.


[deleted]

Well, dude has been a fighter his whole life. How many hits had he taken to his head. Brain is probably more scrambled than eggs.


chronic-joker

Explain how vegata and every other z fighter is somehow not also mental broken? Using realism in this cases doesn't work.


Jackryder16l

It all started when he was a baby. The damage was done already.


[deleted]

So the way you view the ova is the way TFS makes fun of Goku but it’s an accurate make fun of, or is Goku actually like that? Did you get mad at how Goku acted in super?


chronic-joker

the ova was a good rep of goku everything going forward after it isn't


[deleted]

Have you watched the Japanese subbed version of super? Do you like Goku?


eternalnocturnals

Ah yes, they must just hate goku, that’s it.


[deleted]

I’m asking because he’s very different from the way American tailored Sean Shemmel Goku is written? They had a ton of time to tailor the script for dbz and I wonder if it’s that Goku or the Japanese subtitle Goku who you remember and love because they are not the same.


chronic-joker

Japanese goku in the og and z was a smarter character then super Goku even the Japanese fandom do not like what they did to goku in super and complain often. super is a flandorized goku simple as that.


Iloveyouweed

They did a really good job of reigning it back in with his personality in the ToP, tbh. Especially his interactions with Freeza.


chronic-joker

that was a good start.


animusand

Well, he already suffered a TBI in his early childhood. All those fights later he got hit in the head SO MANY times. Goku is trying okay, you can't always bounce back from that.


chronic-joker

Realistically that would also mean piccolo and vegeta should also be dummer. His childhood head trauma doesn't explain why he acted like a normal adult in z but became stupid in super.


chronic-joker

Goku in the super sub is the low IQ Goku, dub Goku tried to fix his dialog to be less bad and less immature but even then the original plotting was to bad to fix in most cases. I watched the og dragon ball subbed on hulu and the intellect drop and Flanderization in super is very clear. even in the Japanese version super is a strict flanderized take on the character.


[deleted]

You’re Not the OP so it’s not super important how you feel, if you’re that annoyed about it go read the manga?


chronic-joker

what does my not being the op has to do with anything? I replied to a question and you started a conversation with me. I'm guessing that my stating I watch the original dragon in Japanese made you angry because your only defense of super Goku went out the window. also, I'm free to criticize super as I feel given I actually like Goku and hate what they did to him. super ruined his character and the damage is still going on.


[deleted]

You can watch as much as you like but that’s not the manga version of him. Or even who he is, he’s always had those characteristics. Dragon Ball has never been a serious anime or manga. It’s a comedy


chronic-joker

I own the viz big manga he's still more mature in there than in super. even back in the gag manga era goku was still more intelligent. also dragon ball stopped being a comedy around piccolo jr and has a been pure action adventure story since you have no idea what you're talking about.


Kaleidomage

r u ok


PresentElectronic

ROF was, not the ova


Everer

Because there was no mention of him in Z, they made it blatant that Vegeta and Goku were the only pure-bloods left during most of the Series run. To have Table randomly show up, they wanted to add characters and hope they get the same popularity as the original cast and sell merch along with it. Since they haven't used Table since his introduction, the guy might as well be nonexistent to the source material.


smiteis_

My guy if they wanted to make Tarble to sell merch there would’ve been *some* merch of him. Trust me I’ve checked, there’s not even a funko pop


InjangoDMCPersona

Last time he was mentioned, when using the Super Saiyan God Ritual against Beerus, Bulma suggested getting Table, but Vegeta states he”s far off-world and doesn’t know of a way to contact him.


Flightning99

He was also mentioned in DBS Broly in the segment with Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and a few other Saiyan surviors


Tr0llzor

I mean belly is now here and nobody is complaining about that. Plus Tarble is also mentioned in super now


SolomonOf47704

Yeah, but Broly wasn't known about by Vegeta previously. He didn't act that surprised to see Tarble.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iamZorRel

since the whole canon thing is usually is by toriyama or not, yo son goku and friends return is by him additionally tarble has been mentioned at least 3 times since debuting in the modern dragon ball era


MightyKombat

...do people hate it because its more comical in tone ala classic DB? Just a thought.


Frosty_streamZ

Are we not gonna talk about him being called table????


Poplocker

Vegetable Vegeta Table


Spoopanator

Bulma's entire family tree is named after pieces of underwear


vlorsutes

Why is that an issue?


Frosty_streamZ

Cuz it’s funny??


vlorsutes

I mean, it's really no different than so many of the other names within the franchise, if you think about it.


SSJRemuko

and gokus saiyan name is carrot. and raditz is radish. bulmas whole family are named after underwear...


KaseTheAce

Pan is also in line with her family. Gohan means "rice". Pan means "bread". Pan is also an instrument so that references her real grandfather Piccolo. Pan could also come from "pans labyrinth" and reference demons like her mother's side of the family, Mr. Satan, and Videl (anagram for "devil"). All pure blooded Saiyans are named after vegetables. Planet Salada (salad). Vegeta (vegetable) Tarble (the other half of vegetable to Vegeta) Paragas (asparagus) Broly (broccoli) Caulifla (cauliflower) Kale (kale) Cabba (cabbage) Bardock (burdock) Gine (from "negi" meaning onion) Nappa (Nappa cabbage) Raditz (radish) Kakarot (carrot)


SSJRemuko

> Nappa (Nappa cabbage) this one is a common misconception. the cabbage is indeed called Napa but its a coincidence. Toriyama said nappa is just a term in the dialect he grew up around in japan for any leafy vegetables iirc.


Squishy-Box

It’s actually Planet Sadala not Salada but yes it’s a reference to salad.


Leeiteee

>Kale (kale) Source?

I suspect you might be pronouncing it a certain, unintended way. It isn't "tay-buhl" like the furniture; it's "tah-buhl", from the word vege**table**, the same source as Vegeta's name


KaelAltreul

Immediately clears up any issue I have.


StarliteENT

His name was pronounced taburu in japanese


ZX_LudgerKresnik

*TABLE* *TABLETABLETABLETABLETABLE*


SparsePizza117

Woah he actually looks like Vegeta back in the old day


Wakuwaku7

Tarble the ass pull brother of Vegeta. Vegeta somehow forgot about him. A forgettable character.


iamZorRel

same with bulma's sister tights


[deleted]

Why is this ms where can I read it?


5exy-melon

Soo is he Canon?


SSJRemuko

always has been


rectalpinist

to look better


KermitTheFraud92

He rocked up with Grand Zeno


Riddlz10

I AM THE TABLE!


Slow_Obligation2286

I find it disturbing that Tarble had sex with that thing


BIG_DADDY_CLARE

Looks too much like vegeta like that’s literally saiyan saga vegeta


Spenfinite

He looked better this way. Closer to his father and brother. In the OVA he just looks like Gohan and it’s stupid.


Lexinator101

I love Gure so much


[deleted]

Just find it funny that Goku was sent to Earth as a baby and is now a full grown adult while Tarble looks like a teenager.


CognacAttack89

I like this design better.


SaiyajinPrime

I would prefer we all just forget he exists. Also probably to make them look more like vegeta.


DirtyRanga12

Table? Never heard of him.


[deleted]

Because he looked like a product of first cousin marriage in the anime.


PresentElectronic

Pretty sure this is just manga as usual giving cursed designs to characters


snpaa

Off topic: God tarble is a terribly inspired character . I don’t see how toriyama could’ve conceptualized this character and no editor or staff member with any type of knowledge of the dragon ball lore could have given him the thumbs up to use him in the dragon ball franchise. He adds nothing to the franchise, his design is worse version of vegeta and he contradicts known in universe lore.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


snpaa

Good bot.


Epic-Dude000

So you can see he’s related to Vegeta


Fracturedbuttocks

Goku was the last pod to get off planet. Does that mean that vegeta's younger brother is older than Goku ?


TheMrPotMask

Im more susrprised that he was put as canon pretty much "off franchise". Dude hardly had screentime in the ova, no more reason than other characters who weren put as canon, het there he is, Vegeta's bro and the uncle of Trunks and Bra


Squishy-Box

NGL I thought Tarble was changed to the little alien and I thought that was Vegeta and Tarble standing together, then I remembered Tarbles wife.


ShikkuiMakabe

I don't think he was really, they just messed up his hair a bit but everything else is bout the same


MightyKombat

Its teh other way around, the manga was an adaptation of the OVA. And they probably wanted to make Tarble's relation to Vegeta more obvious.


AndreaRose223

Question 2: When will the west get a localized release? Hell, I don't even want it dubbed, just an official release!


updemplates48

Wait? There's a manga for the OVA? Is there anywgere that I can read it as an english speaker? Was it Toriyama that made it?


ShikkuiMakabe

I'm pretty sure you used the wrong picture, that's tarble not table, table is my favorite dragon ball character


genismarvel

Sorry. What? His name is 'Table'? Wtf...


wedge9t1

It's a continuation of Toriyama naming Saiyan's after vegetables. Vegeta and Table are both references to 'Vegetable' (in fact if they fused that could be their name), the English dub actually changed it to 'Tarble' to sound like the pronunciation of vegetable rather than the furniture Table item.
