Saiyans base hair do resemble freeform locs/wicks.

[JesusFOREVER]

I actually saw someone post the opposite that Frieza was representative of black people and saiyans were white people.

Thats also true, post coming on that soon

Messages to the black man are often found in movies. Movies like The Matrix,I Am Legend,Madagascar are some of my favorites. Also Animal Farm is one of my favorite books ever.I wouldn't say most of these are designed to be that way by the creators.Its hard to tell a story about oppression without black people relating in some space or time.But if you are a black man who continously sees these deeper messages and meanings,its likely the universe trying to put you on a path or your already of a higher conscience.

This is also the case in One Piece too

But it's VERY telling how so many stories low-key have parallels to the true history of black people... it's almost instinctual, like we all know...

Dragon Ball, One Piece, etc.

I'd say more but I don't want to spoil anything.

One Piece? Elaborate

Akira Toriyama is a Japanese dude who was writing by the seat of his pants.

Y'all gotta stop projecting American shyt onto a show not made for our country at all. Goku is based on Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from Journey To The West. Later on when Akira Toriyama made up the Saiyans, he extrapolated all of their characteristics from Goku's.

Additionally, the Saiyans being slaves mistreated horribly by Frieza is dub fabrication. They were a bunch of murderous savages in a mutually beneficial partnership with Frieza. A bunch of small fish dealing with a big fish and got gobbled up. Vegeta wasn't pissed at Frieza on some "Saiyan pride" shyt, he was just mad about having to answer to somebody.

Frieza's character was based on dirty real estate investors because they were driving the Japanese economic bubble in the late 80s.

And Super Saiyan has blonde hair and blue eyes because Toriyama wanted to give his assistant less stuff to ink. In fact, Super Saiyan had RED eyes at first but Akira Toriyama thought it looked too evil:

The Monkey King is just another term the other races used to describe the white man in his bestial state, like Sasquatch, Yeti, Big Foot, Wild Man, Chupacabra, etc etc

RZA said this same shyt


Dragon Ball Z tells the story of an underdog and outsider. In his book The Tao of Wu, the rapper RZA says the story of Dragon Ball Z, “represents the journey of the black man.”


“You see it more clearly as the story goes on,” he writes. “Son Goku has super powers and doesn’t realize it—a head injury destroyed his memory, robbed his knowledge of self. Then one day, gets stressed beyond his limits and Hulks out into his alter ego, Super Saiyan—a nikka with dreadlocks.”

edit the last lil excerpt rza said from that book:

So I say we are the Saiyans; I even use the name Goku
as a tag when I write. And when my hair is in an Afro?
Word up: I’m Super Saiyan.

He could’ve lifted the story from blacks but keep in mind, we aren’t the world. There’s stories of groups being persecuted in multiple cultures. Chinese by Japanese. Tibetians by Chinese. Kurds by Turks. Kurds by Iraqis. Armenians by Turks. Muslims by Russia. The Jews and essentially everyone. Native Americans by Euros. China’s oppressive government throughout its history, the massacre at Tiananmen Square being an example. He’s an Asian man so he could’ve been inspired by any number of these stories. But I could definitely see how you’d think it was about black people.

Now One Piece, that was actually intentional. The Fishman are treated like black people in every sense and the World Nobles are oppressive cacs who treat their military like their bodyguards. Fisher Tiger was a super militant, refused to even accept blood from humans that would've saved his life because the oppression he lived through was too much .

Fisher Tiger and the mermaid chick's mom were meant to be a Malcolm X/MLK analogue. Fisher Tiger even came to soften his stances on humans later in life like Malcolm but the scars still ran deep.

And then Hoady Jones was a TLR fake militant
