plot convenience

plot convenience is a method of story-telling that forces unlikely events to take place because the story calls for it.

In the anime dragonball, Goku as a child transforms into a great ape twice within a year, the first was when they were trapped in 3 foot "special steel" thick cube prizon with tempered glass up on top, the full moon is out, and after he transforms he has his tail cut off.

plot convenience kicks in during the final round of the world martial arts tournament, Goku's tail grows back during his fight with Monster Beast Giran, and the full moon just happens to be out during the final fight. In other words plot convenience happens when coincidences must take place in order for the plot to advance.

Master Mutaito

Master Roshi, and Master Shen's master. He saved the world from King Piccolo by using the Mafuba (Evil Containment Wave in the English dub), and dies because of it. He meets with Goku in the past as part of his training, but Goku is no match for him. This is curious seeing how Goku was able to defeat King Piccolo prior to his training, and Master Mutaito is no match for King Piccolo despite this. It may be his superior fighting technique and Goku's lack of mental discipline that make him able to beat him.

Master Mutaito's hairstyle is the same as the wig Master Roshi wore when disguised as Jackie Chun.

Son Goku

Son Goku is the main character in the dragonball series. He is referred to as Kakarot (or Kakarrot) by his rival, Vegeta. Son is the title inherited from his adoptive grandfather, Grandpa Gohan, or just Son Gohan. The prefix grandpa is used to avoid confusion with Goku's first son, Gohan. He is the second son of Bardock, with Raditz being the first, and Fasha is speculated to be his mother.

Goku is the only pure-blooded Saiyan to have a pure heart, due entirely to falling down a deep ravine and banging his head. Being a saiyan, he survived the fall, and his naturally violent nature disappeared, and became a good person because of his Gohan's good influence.

Goku is also the only saiyan to achieve every level of Super Saiyan. He becomes a super saiyan at the end of the Freeza saga, a full-powered super saiyan during the Cell Games Saga, and learns Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 while training on the Grand Kai's planet, in Otherworld. He learns how to become a super saiyan 4 during the baby saga (dragonball gt; and Vegeta learns towards the end of the Shadow Dragons Saga.
