Martial arts is still a part of DBZ and Super.
They're always talking about fighting technique, stances, ki control, concentration, balance, etc.

every time I hear martial arts and DB, I just think of this scene (which was great, especially the animation, which is no surprise, shida is probably the best animator in DB as a whole):

That's one particular stance in one particular instance. He uses martial arts in every single fight, despite flying and shooting beams. He doesn't just simply flail his arms like a goober just cause he learned how to control chi.


and I'm saying "Martial arts" as you're thinking is no longer important because after Raditz power levels took over. Recoome for example didn't use any technique beside throwing Vegeta around

Recoome isn't Goku. Goku is still a martial artist just because other characters aren't.

Goku's actual martial arts are subpar. 90% of the time when he's not hurling energy blasts he's just doing basic-as-fuck punches and kicks, the same shit we've seen since DB.

He's been trained by Batman and I'd say Batman could go toe to toe with Goku.

Batman martial arts are just real world martial arts. Martial arts in dragonball make people insanely powerful, they're not really the same. Goku literally learned martial arts from an immortal man, Gods, and creatures from all around the universe.


Except he's not learning actual martial arts from them, just energy attacks and nonsense. It's why his physical moves haven't improved since maybe the first Strongest Under the Heavens tourney.

Right, he's only called a genius of fighting a million times throughout the series because his martial arts are subpar.

Goku literally just brawls.

Now you and I know that's not true.


Explain.

Non-martial artists saying he's good at martial arts? I'm amazed.

He throws punches. He kicks. No technique. Tien uses more technique when actually fighting.

Goku has good defense. That can't be debated. But his offense consists of haymakers and jabs.

But at the end of the day he still has defeated hundreds of martial artists including many of the supposedly strongest martial artists in his world. He was then further trained by aliens, immortals, and multiple Gods in their form of martial arts. There's literally no intelligent argument for saying that Batman would win.

That's all also ignoring the fact that since Z we as the viewer can't even see a fraction of his attacks, so for all we know he could be incorporating deeper techniques there.

1. This is martial arts only

2. He can study all he wants, but he won't be able to destroy people who can transcend time, multiple speedsters, people who can destroy things with just a thought, and gods and reality warpers.

I don't think he's a better martial artist, but he could still defeat Goku with his gadgets and superior tactics.

Batman literally could not scratch Goku


Goku might be stronger, but Batman can at least him off long enough to think of plan to defeat him.

Bruce is smarter than Goku. Goku is a natural fighting genius, but Bruce is far more disciplined and an actual genius. He also is far less prone to falling victim to character flaws than Goku. like over confidence, not exploiting openings, prioritizing having an exciting fight rather than simply defeating the threat, etc...

Goku plays too much. Bruce would never sit and watch somebody transform to test his limits, lol. hell, he cuts Bane's chords every chances he gets.

Kirby has toon physics, and also an attack that's basically the spirit bomb that defeated him originally but stronger. That's why he beat Buu.

It's also not like they've got some specific prejudice against DBZ or anything. They have 18 defeating Captain Marvel.
