Dragon Ball is one of the most beloved franchises of all time globally, not just in Japan. The impact of the series is nigh on impossible to quantify. From the Thanksgiving Day Parade to music to sports, Goku and his friends are everywhere. This is for good reason too, as Dragon Ball is incredibly timeless. The characters, the music, and the story still resonate as much today as they did decades ago and the setting is so fantastical that multiple cultures can find something in the story to absolutely adore.But forty years is a long time. Forty years of content and changes to be made, new stories to be told in the same universe. For better or for worse, Akira Toriyama has gotten a bit of a reputation for being forgetful or just glossing over old details. Whether or not this reputation is true is up for debate, but it is easy to see why he has garnered such a reputation. Every long-time Dragon Ball fan knows that there are a lot of pieces that don’t quite line up anymore. Some of those little details are a bit more egregious than others and actually have had quite an impact on the series as a whole.Goku says he can use it to fly and Chun states that there is no way Goku can use it — even though Goku’s ability to copy the move was the whole reason why Roshi chose to train him in the first place. This slip is also accompanied by a claim to invent the move. This really does come down to a dub error, but it creates a strange continuity for the dub.
