GOKU VS JACKIE CHUN!! | DRAGON BALL Episode 26 REACTION

[@c.k.6939]

This episode shows a detail that people often don't notice when they criticize Goku for supposedly only using "stolen" techniques. Not only is the fact that he can copy them effortlessly the second he sees them an impressive talent, he also has the creativity to build upon them and make his own variations.

[@Nebraska60]

Roshi created the Kamahamaha Wave, but Goku is its master.

[@beccasalt8960]

100% agree

[@coltchan7380]

Roshi didn’t have to worry about Goku losing interest in fighting. But a little extra motivation never hurt.

[@alexanderren1097]

In Roshi’s defense, at the time he didn’t know Goku was a member of an alien species with an addiction to fighting. Neither did Toryama…

[@fictionarch]

But he did have to worry about Goku lossing interest in self improvement. So it was still a good call.

[@madeinsound08]

​@@alexanderren1097 I think Toriyama didn't know all of this, but he definitely knew Goku wasn't human in the first place

[@jessecortez9449]

​@@alexanderren1097Toriyama didn't even conceive of the space alien warrior twist until the franchise had to take a new course for fresh content. He based Goku on Sun Wukong from Journey to the West. So he likely wasn't a normal human but Goku wasn't an alien with ever increasing transformations when Toriyama started Dragon Ball.

[@specialnewb9821]

If you go to the trouble of calling yourself Jackie Chun you need to do the Drunken Master technique sometime. I love that Goku counters with the full Wukong. Whis and Roshi need to get together and complain about Goku letting down his guard.

[@josephjohnson5766]

Goku wasn't taught to fight by his grandpa, he was taught to observe and learn from his opponents. I think it has something to do with biology which allows him to feel the energy of a technique and replicate it. This is a really good arc can't wait to see your reaction to how the fight ends.

[@damonestephens8722]

Yes he was. He even says he was. Goku was taught to fight by his grandpa. Grandpa Gohan taught him martial arts and certain techniques. Now him being able to copy techniques is just something unique to him. Because not even other Saiyans can learn as effortless as he does. Now his saiyan biology is what makes him really strong and very durable. He was taught more to observe and learn from korin and master roshi and master roshi also taught him how to condition his body to get the most out of it.

[@jessecortez9449]

​@@damonestephens8722Goku didn't have Saiyan biology at this point because Toriyama hadn't even conceived of some space alien warrior nonsense until the franchise needed a twist for new content. Goku is based on Sun Wukong from Journey to the West whom did have an ability to quickly learn new skills.

[@damonestephens8722]

@@jessecortez9449 that only Negates one point in terms of how strong and durable He is. Plus he definitely wasn’t human because some of the feats he was doing. All my other points still stand. His grandpa taught him how to fight. Him being a natural at things and picking up things is something he just knows. Basically a natural prodigy. But korin helped him hone those skills when goku was trying to get the water from him. On how to observe someone and how to control his movements as well. And roshi conditioned his body.

[@SnowyWolborg]

@@jessecortez9449 A lot of people, even fans of the franchise don't know that during the original series, Goku was not yet considered an alien, but rather himself as well as many others in the series were references to East Asian mythology, particularly the Journey to the West.

[@probablysomeguy4806]

9:16 Jackie Chan did it first in a movie called Drunken Master 1978. Jackie Chan - Jackie Chun

[@drunkenswordsman3373]

OG Dragon Ball tournament fights still hold up today as some of the best anime fights!

[@99thJediWarrior]

People say Goku is dumb, but he's just very specialized in fighting. When it comes to fighting, he has a Master's and Ph.D. in the subject. Super just made Goku seem dumb when he's really just more of a genius when he fights.

[@99thJediWarrior]

11:04 - 11:21 Monkey See, Monkey Do. Which is more than appropriate for Goku's case.

[@thedarkknight2221]

“Danger is the nosy next-door neighbor of security”, damnit Roshi has got some incredibly wise quotes in OG Dragonball. He reminds me so much of my own sensei from when I was a kid. Also Drunken Boxing is a real life style of kung fu, and the stance is to hold your index finger and thumb out and curved like you’re holding a sake cup.

[@sabribrus]

You can actually see Kid Goku flying with his tail in the Budokai Tenkaichi 3 game

[@jordanu6501]

"Goku's so smart" words never spoken before

[@Animelon]

Nah he’s a fighting genius

[@antonioherrera1324]

I’ve just realized I never analyzed the show, which makes ur reaction a lot more interesting, even now just happy to watch this show with someone who’s watching it for the first time, it’s amazing!!!!

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

This is gonna be a fun final showdown 🥋😁🙏🏿. 8:37 drunk style never gets old. You should watch the drunken master movies by Jackie Chan especially part 2. 11:36 this is the monkey style. Another famous martial art technique.

[@NeddyMontz]

3:13 - 3:16 I can't with Goku 🤣🤣🤣 Priceless

[@forastero54321]

2:57 “I’ve never seen that before.” Tails from Sonic: 😟

[@dvader518]

Where do you think the idea for Tails to do that came from?

[@samuelzuleger5134]

As far as Roshi's prime, you get to see bits of his past and his Master (Master Mutaito) later in the series (mostly during the Demon King Piccolo arc). Some of his "psychic" abilities are probably related to his older sister. We meet her later in the series, so I'll just leave it there. With Goku's ability to replicate techniques, its kind of a Saiyan thing (at least in Z). That's why Vegeta can just sense energy after a day on Earth where everyone is doing it. For more background, Sun Wukong of "Journey to the West" has some of that ability, too.

[@She-Devil94]

That's not a Saiyan thing. Tenshinhan for example can do it too. He copied the Kamehameha after seeing it once. Same as the Mafuba.

[@samuelzuleger5134]

@@She-Devil94 True. I kind of forgot about Tenshinhan.

[@hockeytown54]

One of my favorite fights in all of the franchise and maybe even anime. Man this arc is so good!

[@RondoOfBloodX]

Believe it or not Drunken Boxing is actually a REAL fighting technique.

[@Acerthorn]

3:35 Actually, that's an error in translation. In the original Japanese manga, all Roshi said was that Goku couldn't do a Kamehameha wave half as good as he could. In other words, the tiny wave Goku did at Fire Mountain wasn't strong enough to propel him like a rocket like a full-powered one can.

[@AngusKhan21]

I just viewed it as Roshi baiting Goku into using it on him so he could evaluate his progress

[@houseontherock8345]

The drunken monkey style is what Roshi was doing. Early dragon ball was awesome.

[@cmrobbins88]

Monkey see monkey do. Who needs Sharingan when you’re Son Goku.

[@gilathir]

You can't brainwash Goku. He has no brain. :D

[@jairusjackson7799]

Watching this tournament back again, I've gotta say. Toriyama really pulled a lot of things out his butt to keep Goku in the tournament, him flying with his tail (I'd completely forgot), calling Nimbus to get him back in the ring, honestly the Plot Armor was laid on thick.

[@soyakat]

Yeah lmao, gotta give him credit tho. The ways of getting Goku back were so creative and funny lmao

[@jairusjackson7799]

@@soyakat Nah bro, he had our boy full on cheating. It's creative and funny sure, but man it's not fair. He'll do anything for Goku but the rest get the shaft everytime

[@Awelbeckk]

And against Nam, Goku get up a 9, but if the judge did his job without being prompted by Nam, Goku would have woken up at 11 or 12 and lost ...

[@jairusjackson7799]

@@Awelbeckk Exactly, like seriously. Toriyama didn't even try to hide his favouritism. I'll always prefer Krillin and Yamcha, because they get no favours. Meanwhile Goku gets every chance, every power up and every cheat. I like kid Goku at least tho, so that makes it a little better

[@The_One_In_Black]

Goku is really still a gag character at this point.

[@jacobdavidlet]

Notable details is that the actual Jackie Chan has notable movies where he plays a Drunken Master and for using the "Monkey Style".

[@rishomatics2700]

2:49 Goku's tail reminds of Doraemon's Bamboo Copter right there ! 👀😊

[@nycstreetpoet]

Drunken Master fighting style. It involves a lot of feints and strange weight distribution movements. It’s a real kung fu martial art.

[@qwxcvgy]

i love the gokucopter

[@Angelone1]

Druken style is thousands of years old. Jacki Chan had the druken master movies back early 90s really good movies

[@probablysomeguy4806]

Yeah that’s the sequel, the first Jackie Chan Drunken master movie came out in the late 70s

[@euqinemor]

It isnt that Goku is on Roshi's level yet, it's just that Goku is already so strong that Roshi is afraid of using too much power and killing Goku on the spot.

[@The_One_In_Black]

That's a good point. I've seen a lot of power level lists that placed Roshi and Goku as equals in this tournament, which would make some future events seem odd. The idea that Roshi doesn't know if he can go all out or not makes more sense at this stage.

[@juliodonofreo]

@@The_One_In_Black equals? roshi would win easily if he didn't have to destroy the moon, holding back or not

[@seanwilson8168]

Make sure you ba-boost the algorithm folks. Melonification gang we here.

[@shreeanshrajsharma8328]

Him being tipsy and fighting is reference to the jackie chan movie drunken master

[@sean_mccadden]

As its obvious Jackie Chun is a reference to Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan did a movie in the late 70s called the Drunken Master so Jackie Chun using the "Drunken Boxing" technique is a reference to that

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

I will argue that Goku pretty much remains the fighting genius he is for the rest of this series and Z, however Super did him so dirty.

[@MrAndrison6]

The drunken master fighting style

[@shschesschamp]

Fun fact the actor Jackie Chan played in both drunken master movies

[@gothorn2758]

People who never watched chinese kungfu movie never realized this fight sequence was homage to old Jackie Chan/Chinese kungfu movies. Akira Toriyama was fans of Jackie Chan. Moves like Drunken Fist, Monkey Technique, (insert any animal here) technique is common moves in classic Chinese kungfu movies. It's kind of silly that this animal moves was kind of like rock-paper-scissor. Example Cat moves usually beaten by dog moves, or snake moves beaten by eagle moves. But sometimes we get to see some incredible creative fight choreography in this genre of movies 😁

[@Nando_Kai]

Indeed, I've gotten quite the zenkai boost from my defeats, you learn a lot. 🐒

[@AngusKhan21]

I think Roshi is toying with Goku the entire time, trying to gauge how strong he is and how far he progressed so far. But he lets himself enjoy the experience, acting goofy, showing off, allowing himself to get prideful or frustrated, but the entire time holding back enough to give goku the chance to adapt and learn from the experience.

[@claudioadriano5422]

I believe Master Roshi never revealed that he was Jack Chun. In DBZ, when Cell organizes the Cell games, Master Roshi talks about the Tenkaichi Budokai and he talks about Jack Chun as if he were someone else.

[@13Bbeards]

Dragonball had all sorts of cool and crazy techniques and moves.

[@rogertemple7193]

Hello AniMelon, i hope you are well and as always watching you react to the great animes and of course with Dragon Ball and episode 26.👑 You are definitely the Queen of Anime 👑 and that's why I like watching your videos and listening to you talking about anime you are the greatest Thank You AniMelon and have a very awesome weekend.👑

[@LoneWolf81684]

The greatest technique in the entire franchise: Crazy Monkey Technique!!!!!! 😎🙈🙉🙊🐵

[@SpidermanandhisAmazingFriends]

And Goku never uses his tail to fly again 🤣

[@davidsprint1]

drunken master is the technique that roshi used. it's from a jackie chan movie and he was actually impersonating jackie chun. Just amazing if you ask me

[@stef96ify]

The Crazy Monkey technique Goku uses is not the only animal style he knows from before fighting Jackie Chun: in the manga, just after Goku runs away from him, he uses first the "Mad Dog technique", where he runs on all fours towards the foe displaying feral fangs and barking angrily as if he were to take a piece of him. It was a pretty scary scene, I wonder if that's the reason it didn't make it to the anime

[@DaimonAnimations]

And until this day Goku continues to lower his guard down, even Wiss told him this multiple times while training with Beerus.

[@rowlandandrew9597]

Hi Melon Roshi vs Goku was fire And had some very funny moments to Just go's to show how Roshi cared about Goku and Krillin when they were kids and I love that I side it before the z fighter are like family to Goku And it's very cute to see how he brings all his friends together I can't wait to see more

[@Hulkzilla0]

And here we are! The first epic battle of the series, and it's a doozy!

[@eljahajutin7]

Goku's strategy is just like back in The Return of Cooler - punch him really hard.

[@simtek3475]

To this day, Goku and Kuririn still don’t know Jackie Chun is the Turtle Hermit

[@mauricioramirez5948]

This is one of my favorite fights of all time. Easily top 5.

[@ilyas_elouchihi]

The helikopter song reference 😂😂

[@Toonamp]

I just realize that we don't really get another Goku training arc until Goku trains with Mr. Popo. I mean, you have the red ribbon army arc which is another adventure. You have some training with Korin during that. You have the Fortuneteller Baba which is a tournament. You have a second World tournament arc no real training. King Piccolo arc, which is another adventure arc, but this time Goku wants revenge. The the Piccolo Jr. Arc, where Goku trains with Popo and Kami. Even then it's kinda short. Next is Goku trains with King Kai, then Goku trains on a spaceship, Goku prepairs for the aneroids, then Cell, then other world, then with the Supreme Kai, then Beerus. None of them are as interesting as when Goku trains with Master Roshi.

[@EwMatias]

You don't seem familiar with Drunken Boxing, but it's a very common trope in kung fu movies. And it's especially famous due to Jackie Chan's classic Drunken Master, so it's very appropriate "Jackie Chung" would pull it out.

[@michaeldavis3696]

Cmon people, get this to 500 likes so she will post more OG dragonball

[@wills.364]

Go Jackie Chun! ✌🏻😁

[@Gurthrog]

You should give Jackie Chan's classic Drunken Master II a chance. I love the first one too, but the second one is a martial arts masterpiece

[@rishomatics2700]

08:42 Okay now, so it reminds me of "Drunken Master" movie. Gosh all this goin' on in a single episode !! 😲

[@Greenpig2093]

Hi melon it’s guys here😂

[@Sunaki1000]

Yeah like someone else mentioned, Drunken Master is a Movie (Series?) from jacky Chan. Later parodied by Roshi and Lee. Its just so weird he didnt started whit it. So unconvincing.

[@frydguy2331]

Ok... now you need to watch the Jackie Chan classic Legend of Drunken Master (and the sequel)

[@Metalton95]

I think that Goku, much like Akira Toriyama, has forgotten everything before Freeza. From Jackie Chun to Raditz.

[@manfredkemper1936]

"good thing beams don't just explode on impact with each other" since you are already referencing TFS, you missed a "Cell vs" -video.

[@trolleyfan]

Mind you, Roshie's whole reasoning here is wrong - win or lose, the one thing Goku likes *more* than food is training to get stronger. Maybe Krillin would relax on his laurels, but Goku? There is *no* universe where Goku decides he's strong enough and stops training to get better.

[@migueldominguez78]

It's not that Goku wouldn't fight, it's that he wouldn't continue to strive and better himself at the level he eventually did. Today's Dragonball is all about increasing power levels being a given, but back then it had more of a philosophy, where pride is a downfall and kid Goku assuming he's the strongest would mean there's no point in trying to better himself, similar to Gohan after he beat Cell Toriyama later retconned that drive as a pure Saiyan trait but honestly that just makes Goku less unique with more pure Saiyans added as the story goes on. But even following that logic in-universe, Goku pushed himself farther than any other Saiyan had before, because of the philosophy Roshi instilled in him as a kid

[@SnowyWolborg]

@@migueldominguez78 That's exactly what it is. A lot of people forget that Goku was not originally conceived to be from an alien warrior race that has an inherent desire to fight. As of this particular point in the series, Goku is still starting out, and Roshi wants Goku to understand that there are still horizons he hasn't reached. DB and modern DBZ are almost completely different series, both in tone, scale, and mindset.

[@TaylorPrem]

We do see a younger Master Roshi later. Also Goku copys everyone he has no original techniques ever thing he knows he learned from various teachers or stole.
