The BIG PROBLEM with YOUNG Master Roshi

RESPECT THE OG! :glasses-purple-yellow-diamond: Special Thanks to The Unknown Scholar! If anyone wishes to feature here on the channel, too, check out my Patreon. I appreciate your support - patreon.com/ScholarVerse

I like how the Crane Hermit modeled his style after King Piccolo, copying his moves like the finger beam (Dodonpa), the flying technique and training his pupils to become assassins. Every major warrior until the Saiyan Saga followed either King Piccolo's (Crane Hermit, Tao, Tien, Chiaotzu, Piccolo Jr) or Mutaito's (Roshi, Son Gohan, Gyumao, Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Chi Chi) style. Gohan was the first to combine both styles.

OG db talks keep me invested far more then DBS talks. I despise most videos on modern DB because essentially it’s the exact same topic just with barely different spins on them. With OG DB It kinda forces you to be creative with the video topic. Plus bringing you back to the days when DB was actually good is always a surreal experience. We need more OG DB vids

Roshi and Shen staying as friends could mean 1 of two things. They either open a school together and combine their own teachings, or stay as more friendly rivals with their own school. The former could be more interesting. Roshi and Shen would likely have a total monopoly on the Martial Arts world with tons of people wanting to join their school. Goku, Krillin and Yamcha would have learned to fly a lot sooner if they did. I think Tien and Chiaotzu would join and all five of them would train together more often. This would make them all a lot stronger. Tien would still be competitive with Goku as self improvement seems to be ingrained in his character. The biggest change if they remained friends would probably be Tao who would be growing up under a good Shen instead of the asshole from the original series. He wouldn't become an enemy who ultimately kills Bora, forcing Goku to go on a journey to gather all the Dragon Balls, which means, he wouldn't go to Baba's to find the last one, wouldn't destroy the Red Ribbon base to find the remaining ones, so Gero wouldn't want revenge by creating the Androids.

OG Dragon Ball is amazing! New school fans will understand just how great the original series that started it all really is!

I always found the period of King piccolo reign until his imprisonment to be fascinating period. It reminds me of the future trunks timeline.

Roshi/Shen would’ve had a Professor X/Magneto type friendship in my opinion

Yamcha looks like he could be descended from Roshi

I really wasn't expecting a video like this! I really love the dynamic that OG dragonball had with Roshi and the Crane Hermit. Rewatching Dragonball as a teenager recently made me really appreciate these characters and arcs more. Idk why I just really like Tao, Shen and the Crane School stuff, and ofc it's impact on Tien (our beloved role model) and Chiaotzu. I made fanart of Young Shen and Roshi and started a fanfiction about how they met and their training (haven't gotten far, and I doubt I'll continue since not a lot of people really care about Shen and Roshi's past)

Well the biggest issue I have with the Roshi flashbacks is the chronological narrative. Isn't Roshi supposed to be hundreds of years old, or at the very least immortal, like his sister Fortune-Teller Baba? So how in the heck would Shen have been alive while Roshi appeared similarly youthful? Either they are both(and evidently Tao and Grandpa Gohan, for that matter) centuries old, OR for some unknown(and counter-intuitive) reason, the immortal Muten Roshi is apparently aging at a faster rate than any of his peers. Just seems odd imo. RIP Tori-bot!

Roshi uses his masters hairstyle as Jackie Chun

"Oh, nothing about Super Mega Ultra Cosmic Saiyan 12 and how to perfect the form? Kay, Imma head out."

no tricks no fancy shows, just old fashion martial arts..

I like how you recognize "dirty magazines" as one of his virtues.

I think they were meant to be business rivals. If they stayed friends it would have been a healthy rivalry not animosity. Especially after Shen finding out that M. Mutaito sacrificed himself, if he would have told Roshi "I need you because otherwise the death of our master can make me crazy." Roshi would have never turned his back on Shen.

@Saiyan Scholar, ppPPLEASEE do a full --- What If Shen and Roshi stayed friends !!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

There is such thing as friendly rivalries so I can see him still making the crane school and master roshi making the Turtles School Maybe his brother no longer becomes a mercenary but instead becomes a teacher of the army of the world and technically Tien on lost a few of his abilities when he learned with the crane School would actually be a lot stronger than he was in Cannon. So the school rivalry could still happen the only difference is that Tien is stronger in this version and will permanently stay stronger than his Canon counterpart.

It's funny you made this video, I'd been thinking about it recently how old is master Roshi actually. Because I recall him being said to be over 300 years old, but if that's the case did Shen also drink the immorality drink? And how could he have Tao as his brother who's nowhere near as old? But maybe it was some dub filler and he wasn't that old in canon

Where did the footage come from? I don’t remember anymore dlc coming out for kakarot. Also I think Tien has been done dirty. In DB he was a powerful character but as DBZ went on he became just another human. He clearly isn’t just another human, he can sprout another set or arms and has a third eye for crying out loud.

Young roshi looks like yamcha dessert bandit
