Goku and Luffy: Two Peas in a Pod

Goku and Luffy are very similar, not in appearance... but in mind and soul.

Whenever people try to figure out their personality they think they're both either ESFP or ENFP, remember my last post?

That's interesting. The only unsure part is the Sensate or Intuition of these characters. Do they rush into extremely dangerous situations hoping to get through on Intuition alone or by taking everything one move/fight at a time (for Sensate types)?

Personally I'd like to rely on my intution, I don't care about taking everything one move or step at a time. I'd rather know everything will either be A OK or know it's not. That framing also helps us think about why people don't know what Goky or Luffy's certain personality type is. Both characters obviously see alot of pain and take alot of pain, so it's difficult to tell.

Well one thing's certain, Eiichiro Oda (One Piece creator) was and is close to Akira Toriyama (Dragonball creator) and he even told Toriyama that he based Luffy off of Goku's resiliance.

RPGHero's Top Ten Shounen Anime Openings

RPGHero ranks Shounen Anime Openings by a few criteria. Actually the only cred this has is the ranking.
1) How many battles involving main characters and powerful enemies are in the opening? The more of these the higher the rank.
2) Does the opening have to do with the arc that the story is in currently? Closer to what's going on in the show is higher.
3) Do the scenes and the music mesh together so what you are watching/hearing seem like one distinct entity? I.E. you will think that the music was made for the anime and the anime scenes made for the music.
4) Does the opening include main bosses? More main bosses the higher the rank.
5) Do the lyrics correspond to the arc? Closer to the story = higher rank.
6) Does the main character or supporting main characters use high level attacks? I.E. the cooler the attacks shown the higher the rank.
7) Overall Epicness. Enough said.

1. THE WINNER!
Sign - Naruto Shippuuden

THE MOST EPIC!!!
Naruto isn't even the main focus of this opening (Spoilers ahead). Sasuke and Naruto's mentor Jiraiya are the only characters with fights. Sasuke's being the main reason he wanted to be a ninja, to get revenge. Closes a whole climax for the show. Naruto is shown losing control to the beast within him and then gaining control at the end, after his mentor had *gulp* passed, as he cries a single tear. Definitely one of the most epic openings in all of shounen anime. *Did I mention that Jiraiya's toad summon swings and rips part of Pain's summon Cerebus' head right off??

I just felt like posting these... All credit for their creative genius goes to "TFS"
They're in order since last time...





There you have it episodes 4-6 of pure comedy...

Remember the first Diesel video I put up?

Do you all remember the first ever Diesel video I put up on here?

It was like that...

Well lets get a throw back!


And if you like Gundam!


Remix the future!


Encore!





This is really interesting. If you compare Cha-la with Dokken Dokken Paradise you'll find many different things. First of all the scenery moves more in Cha-la while the characters move more in Dokken. Is it an indication of the times? Also the newer opening focuses more on their emotions than the older one. Also indicative of the times? Well I thought it was really cool how Goku and Vegeta were smiling before dueling indicating how they love to fight, and the detail of Vegeta's sucker punch on Goku is classic!

But they say the past has to be repeated... So what if what we have now will look really old and corny to the people of the future???
