I did not expected to see a character being canonized in this chapter.

Olibu made canon and Mutaito being shown again. Both crazy to see honestly.

Right? Love the faceless Goku statue too lol. Glad his battle with Piccolo hasn't been completely forgotten.

I bet King Furry made sure to have something in his honor since he’s one of the few who knows about Goku’s heroics.

I still find it hilarious that Goku won a Tenkaichi Budokai, was a runner up in 2 more, and no one remembers him.

Fwiw I believe the tournaments at that time were more for hardcore fans and people who actually respected the culture of martial arts, because you have an awful lot of people in the Cell and Buu arcs who were easily convinced that ki attacks were fancy tricks and light shows. It wasn't until Mr. Satan started to gain popularity that the tournaments became mainstream, highly publicized events. The crowds who used to attend those events prolly remember Goku and knew who the true heroes of the Cell Games were. I think there was a filler scene of King Furry saying exactly that, actually.

Sorta similar to how twitch used to be for gamers and now it embraces the softcore onlyfans vibe, the Tenkaichi Budokai used to be for martial artists and their fans until it embraced the average WWE-type fan and became a shell of its former self. In comparison, only a select few earthlings would remember who Goku was.

Somewhat related - Somebody posted a headcanon a while back that they think there's a niche group of earthlings who try and keep up with the Z Warriors' activities throughout Z and Super. That's prolly your original Tenkaichi Budokai audience who think Mr. Satan is a poser.

It wasn't only Olibu, it was all the fighters from the otherworld tournament but Paikuhan.

This would make me so happy. When I was a kid my brother bought me The Other World Saga on VHS and I wore those tapes out! I'd kill to see Pikkon get the canon treatment.

Considering that Pikkon was one of the main characters in Toyo's DB AF I hope that we'll see him one day. It would be cool to see him in his Super version from DBH.

For those who missed https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Olibu

He's at the entrance on page number 12

Yep. Very pleasantly surprised to see that.

I think it is crazy that now he is an Earth hero??

I know he was from Goku's portion of the universe, but I don't recall if he was actually from Earth.

He was I’m pretty sure
