“Goku doesn’t care about his family!”
“Goku doesn’t love ChiChi!”
“Goku is such an inconsiderate father/husband!”
oh my god, hearing goku cry…i was not expecting that…
Sean Schemmel is such a great actor, and hearing Goku actually near tears at the thought of losing his loved ones, man…a punch right in my heart.
Also side eyeing some people in the comments. As someone who has seen both the Japanese and English version of Kai, as well as someone who recently re-read the entire manga of DB-DBZ just a couple months ago… You’re still wrong.
Goku caring about his loved ones not some English dub invention.
While the original Z anime did sprinkle in some additional lines to make it more clear, it was still there regardless in the original even if not seen as often because the story had it’s focus elsewhere.
This scene you see in front of you is the English dub of Kai, which is far more faithful to the manga than the original anime, and this dub is also extremely faithful to the original than compared to the original Z dub.
Case in point, plenty of us who love the dub have in fact watched the original and read the manga.
Are you sure YOU have watched the original? And I question if you even read the manga if you still insist Goku never cared about his loved ones. (For crying out loud Goku sacrificed himself TWICE to protect his son-Gohan, besides Krillin’s death-Freeza threatening to then do the same to Gohan is part of what pushes him over the edge and he transforms into an SSJ for the first time, shown both his sons affection and pride in them, and we even see glimpses of his affection for Chichi)
Ranting aside, seeing glimpses of Goku’s nightmare of Freeza destroying the Earth and killing everyone he cares about is so chilling and heartbreaking, especially when you get to the end of the clip, seeing the faces of everyone Goku wants to protect, all those he does not want to fail. And of course the last two people in his thoughts are the first two people we see at the start of his nightmare, his wife and son. They are the first and last thing on his mind of those he cannot fail because they are the most important.

ok ok ok ok ok ok can I just have a quick lil moment of your time?
This shit.
So Hunchback is far and away my favorite movie from Disney’s Renaissance, and it always makes me so happy that yes, people seem to appreciate it, people seem to love it, but I’mma go into exactly WHY it’s my favorite, and WHY I think it’s so crucial, and WHY I think it should be required viewing for young boys specifically.
We all know that a huge bulk of the media we’ve grown up with consistently has that one frustrating message: Being the hero means you’ll get the girl. Many boys let this mentality bleed into reality. We have “nice guys,” who feel that their niceness entitles them to romance, when obviously that discredits a female’s personal choice. We all get this, we all know this, and a lot of us get that it’s a toxic message.
So check out our hero.
He’s an incredibly good person who isn’t conventionally attractive.
Check out our lady.
Super good person, conventionally attractive.
The movie so deliberately builds up Quasi’s hopes. There’s a whole fucking song about it.
But Esmeralda, who is her own person with her own motivations and preferences, chooses another man, who is also good and also attractive.
A lot of people criticize this aspect of the movie, the fact that Quasi doesn’t get the girl BECAUSE of his appearance. But my argument? This is the best damn message a movie could ever send.
Because when things get dicey, when Esmeralda’s life in in danger, when Quasi would be putting his own life on the line, he knows that romance is no longer within the realm of possibility. He knows he won’t be “getting the girl.” He knows this, and he allows himself a moment of bitterness, he risks falling prey to the “nice guy” trope, and he almost succumbs.
“She already has her knight in shining armor, and it’s not me.”
BUT THEN HE DOES THE RIGHT THING.
He has NO ulterior motive for saving her life. NO ulterior motive for opposing the man who raised him. And he doesn’t know that he’ll get any reward, he knows he could straight up get killed for his actions, and yet he still acts.
And there’s no bitterness. There’s still so, so much love between him and Esmeralda, pure awesome platonic love, and love between him and Phoebus, and just fucking love all around, it’s amazing.
I’ve heard so many people express distaste at Quasi not ending up with Esmerelda. Like he was cheated out of some kind of reward. But have they watched the ending?
Does that look like a man cheated of his reward? Does he look like he “lost” to Phoebus? No dude, that’s a man who has everything he ever wanted, and that’s also a man who didn’t “get the girl.”
If that’s not an essential message for young boys to hear, I don’t know what is.
The writers described HoND as a “Rolling Stones” ending: Quasimodo doesn’t get what he wants (Esmeralda’s love) but he gets what he needs (freedom from his abusive guardian and acceptance by the city in general). And yes, that totally counts as a win for him.
