Goku () (aka Kakkarot) from the popular Dragon Ball series which has sold hundreds of million copies of manga and spawned the hit anime which was critically acclaimed and financially successful is rumored to be joining the roster in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. How does CE feel about this?

Personally, I hope that Masahiro Sakurai handles this character with care. Dragon Ball has some of the most expansive lore in almost any series to date and I feel this move would damage it immensely. Second of all, Goku is simply just too overpowered. I don't want to spoil a big reveal in the series, but Goku is in possession of one of the greatest skills in anime and manga out there. That move is called "Ultra Instinct", and if not handled with care could lead to Goku being the most overpowered character in Smash Bros history.

Doragon Boru Supa: Burori is set to premiere in later this year, which would coincide with the Smash Bros Ultimate release in December which is further proof of this character announced for the game.

Discuss.

Absolutely not. Super Smash Brothers is for video game characters only. And before you say he's been in games he would need to originate in a game to apply. He does not so he's disqualified.

Nope.

Sakurai himself laughed at the idea.

Honestly Smash Bros needs to borrow characters from anime. The series is dying and could use a breathe of fresh air.

Top 3 anime crossover characters would be:

1: Kirito from Sword Art Online
2: Goku from Dragon Ball
3: Kaz Kaan from Neo Yokio

I mean it would be interesting especially as a marketing tactic since DBFZ comes out for Switch in September and there's speculation of an announcement of sorts in early august.

i agree, these are some excellent additions. if we add in agumon (Digimon) and danny phantom, i feel the roster would be perfect

It's possible, but they supposedly decided on the roster few years ago, and the tweet from Microsoft saying Nintendo is free to use any of the Rare characters might be an indication that they're not gonna be in the main roster

Yes, Sakurai literally listed the rules it takes for a character to be in smash, and the main one I remember was that they have to be originally from a video game, no movie or t.v. show characters.

And they have to have been on a Nintendo system at one point.

even if this is true, one would hope Sakurai wouldn't leave money on the table by excluding an iconic character like Goku from SSBU

But Goku isn't video game origin, which is something every guest character in SSB has been consistent with.
