One of the best training methods in fiction, is fighting yourself, you see your own actions from another perspective and find your strengths and more importantly your weaknesses. This doll was Goku's exact equal except for one detail, the doll had no thought and moved without any constraints, which is why Goku had such a hard time against it.
They set the tone off the bat with this metaphor. Goku is always in a fight against himself to push his own limits throughout the show, more than he is fighting the various enemies put in front of him.
Popo casually drops that he has the power to create life Popo is the strongest character. Proven. Edit: Somehow, this is not my most controversial yt comment
Like Whis, Popo is/was Kami's guardian. Meaning he's an agent of the gods more powerful and given special abilities than the guardian of earth. We just don't see him do much as, like Whis, he's not supposed to interfere too much.
@WhiteRanger1298 Edit: Dont read this. As people have pointed out, its a worthless comment that expresses nothing. Thats assuming a conservation of energy at a 1 to 1 ratio of energy and time. Imagine this... We can plot the characters energy with a graph. On the x axis we have time, so we will label that as 't'. On the y axis we have energy. And now lets assume that when goku or anyone 'powers up' their power increases at a linear rate with respect to time. Such that f(p) the function of power is equal to their base plus the increase of power. f(p)=x+b And so then we can say that the integral from when t =0 to t=final measurement of t, represents the total power of a character. Take popo's power graph and make t really small. You can now take popo's power and make a doll that for just infinitesimal amout of time releases more energy than any form of dragonballs ever could. For a moment of time you could make 10000 gogetas....
but popo doesn’t make the dolls with his power he uses a technique to turn water and clay into a ‘puppet’ kid goku couldn’t sense any life which implies that the golem contains no ki
how strong do you think grenades are in dragon ball, they nearly killed tao pai pai whose only indication of being hit by kid goku, pre saint water, was some singing on his clothes
@@DRAGONGOD67Your kid is weak ass sauce fodder, faster lmao. Good joke, Saitama watch the back of his own head in mirror before even getting power. Even with hair Saitama was lightspeed!!! Not to mention Saitama can create 20 afterimages on io moon not to mention even his own clone afterimages can create serious punches and effect come from everywhere, not to mention Saitama afterimages doesn't dissapear like your weak sauce kid Goku even cover entirety of its thousand times moon distance is enough to tell you haven't watch the show.
Bro who the F cares about GTA 6. If it comes or not your life is still the same. Out lives are still miserable and we are still broke. It's just another distraction to pull you away from reality
It was a masterpiece towards the end of the film where Brolly humiliated Frieza to the point Whis had to step in until Goku and Vegeta successfully fused into Gogita
Well, between the fact that Toriyama had always been famous for forgetting details like this and the explanation that plenty of people are supposing is the case(that the doll technique has its limits, which is reasonable), it definitely would make sense that this just got completely swept under the rug
Goku fights his own doppelganger in every show except GT, and twice in Super. Yet it only happened once in the original Manga. Still twice in the Super Manga though
😮 I loved this scene SOOO MUCH! IT IS LIKE master Akira Toriyama knew exactly what Star Wars was about and what it was trying to teach people: "you are your own worst enemy." This doll represents the potential that Goku has if he learned to discipline himself.
This one,the one where he meets young Roshi and the one where he wears a crown and dodges lightning are some of the best filler in the entirery of dragon ball as a whole

Popo can casually make puppets that can react like the person he makes it after. So by that logic could he make an army of Bearus's and take over the universe? Probably not. Popo is so op he'd probably think that would be beneath him 😂
The one thing I still remember about this thing is that when it uses the Kamehameha wave, it does creepy breathing noises instead of the usual shouting of the attack name that anyone else using it would do. Like it's trying to speak, but since it's just clay, it lacks the anatomy to actually form words.
Would've been nice if Popo could use that technique to make counterfeit copies of the old opponents that were just as strong as the originals. Goku would always have someone to train with or they could have an army at the ready at any time.
I remember this episode traumatizing me when I was a kid. The doll's eyes were just too unsettling, and if that wasn't enough, the DVD reader started having visual glitches and lags. Even thinking about it now kinda gives me goosebumps.
Wild that even then , the masters around him were recognizing his extreme potential & the rigors that he would have to go to . HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN PUSH HIMSELF.
When dragon ball actually had life creativity and uniqueness. I try to love dbz and the other series but I can’t as much as the original series. I grew up with dbz Kai but as a young adult watching dragon ball for the first time I knew I missed out and my goodness do I love Dragon ball. The goku doll is a very cool character and it’s only in one episode and still interests me more than a lot of characters from db super.
That would be a cool ability for goku to use for training. Of course, he could've been using this to perfect every single one of his transformation he could've been close to the power of a god of destruction with just super saiyan had he been a lot smarter with learning other techniques than just the fusion dance or a new multipler technique
I always forgot that this was anime exclusive and not in the manga but still a very cool scene . The demon king piccolo saga was my favorite in dragon ball.
You know how Goku steals/ gets trained in other's techniques, but sometimes disappears for weeks/ months/ years at a time? You can bet there's a Chichi doll out there somewhere, "helping out". Good job Popo! I'm kinda glad the after image technique didn't come up all that much.
Goku: "Yes! I defeated the Doll-me!" Po-po: "...." Goku: "What's wrong?" Po-po: "6th rule of Po-po's training. DO NOT BREAK PO-PO'S STUFF!" *Tosses Goku into the Hypey lion tamer*
Fun fact, the uniform colors of the doll are the original uniform colors by toriyama in the manga: light orange for the pants and shirt, white kanji instead of yellow and blue belt. The only thing are the red arm things (don't know how they are named) because are blue
I agree, closest I've ever come is a bowl or cup, but to create a fighter just as powerful as one from a planet of people breed to fight long into elder age
“He doesn’t look very strong to me”
Without realising it, Goku was dissing himself
Bro roasted himself
He was getting his ass handed to him actually
He isn't a dish washer, he got dissed, not dished.
Dishing? That's a new one.
Which kind of soap he got dished with?
The fact that popo and the doll has the same "void eyes" is a bit unsettling.
Very misterious character!

Funny how he magically grew a tail after his mask was removed.
He ddnt grow it, he was hiding it bc Goku wasn't supposed to know yet.
