I think Goku was special, but I don't know if it was by birth in a sense he had that potential in him all along, but in a sense that his sheer dedication and willingness to improve kind of awakened a huge potential inside him with time. Rare cases of potential growing increasingly with effort...
Hmm, it was said in the Ouki's arc in the translation I read that Ouki may be more well known but ppl don't know that Tou is as skilled and knowledgeable as...
I think Tou may be as good as Ouki in skills and battle tactics like that quote implied, but Ouki had something else that made him...
Does Goku being a Saiyan make it even more hurting to Vegeta that Vegeta isn't the strongest? Or is it more to the point that Goku was stronger and on top of that, a Saiyan?
Vegeta seemed pretty angry when Piccolo surpassed him as Kamiccolo, seemed mad when he lost to the androids... and was...
She wasn't a martial artist in the non-human territory. Sounds like chi is treated in DB to be known by special masters. She likely sees martial arts as current irl fighters. Maybe there's a phylosophy of the whole mystic of martial arts but she seems to be on a brand that treats those more as...
So it was one of the better arcs you have read in your opinion?
I think it just gets increasingly more interesting. Many intriguing characters like Riboku (blonde general who defeated Ouki through tactics tho he didn't fight him), Kanki, Ousen, more exploration of Ryofui (the prime minister...
Anyways, Merry understood that they should leave it (or her...) behind as she'd break at some point and it definitely wouldn't want to sink with the crew...
Maybe they got a huge longevity with martial arts skills, Roshi's parents I mean, and so did Roshi... like his healthy habits and management of breathing techniques, dunno... maybe entire dedication to martial arts making them live so long they were basically immortal. Netero in HxH was like 200...

Well, at least he called an "immortal phoenix" to grant Goku immortality. In the sense he couldn't die of old age, but if he were killed, like Roshi, I imagine. I believe it's like that concept.
As for how Roshi would conjure it up and know of such magical being... I think that...
If anything, Bulma and Nami are modern tsunderes with the difference that they don't hude their true feelings... since generally the rough act doesn't come as a concern for "why is the like that?", that's just a style with the variation being when she's scared and trying to use her "beauty" to...
It is said when he made Ten smell some chemical to sleep and not try to fight old Piccolo Daimao that he had taken the elixir of life and couldn't die. While he lied about not being able to die as in, being killed, it makes sense in the context of eternal life. Tho iirc in the first arc it was...
I'm not saying the show intended to make Light Yagami as a "good" character. They wanted to make him a character that people would be drawn in a certain way, so rather, a more high-engagement character ... since the feeling of tension between a duel of genius attracts only a very specific niche...
