[edit] Space uniform

I saw Gokuh on his space uniform while he was replacing the plate with glue on the spaceship gravity chamber while going to Namek. Also, there should be a picture added in here. People need to be aware of the great show that changed a lot of people's lives. --Cyberman 03:17, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Should I make a note of this?

"The name is often misromanized as Son Gokou" (And indeed it is; I've seen that on the net) WhisperToMe 06:56, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

There is also a Son Goku (Dragon Ball) article (longer)! Marc Mongenet 01:36, 2004 Jul 23 (UTC)

[edit] Merge...

This "article" about the Japanese pronunciation of the name of a character in a Chinese novel seems to be entirely and anime/manga disambig page that goes into too much detail. The interwiki links to Dutch, Japanese and Portuguese Wikipedias deal with the Dragon Ball character, the Chinese legend and the Dragon Ball character, respectively. Either it should be merged (although simply making to redirect would be just as good) into Sun Wukong or Son Goku (Dragon Ball) should be merged here, as it concerns the overwhelmingly more common use of the term in English. If no one presents any arguments against me, I will go ahead and make this page into a redirect in 1 week (if I remember). elvenscout742 15:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps a better merge might be "Son Goku" into "Son Wukong", since those two are related, whereas "Son Goku (Dragon Ball)" is not. Deleting the "Son Goku" article is another solution, of course. Daishokaioshin 06:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The pages shouldn't be merged at all, leave them as they are. Son of Kong 1:44 AM

Hmm, I see your point, Elvenscout, but at the same time, looking at the Son Goku (Dragon Ball) article, I'm still not convinced that a merge would necessarily be a good idea. The Goku DBZ article is already enormous as is, and I think merging the content of this article would only serve to disrupt its focus on the singular DBZ character to a much more general article on anime characters using the name "Son Goku," but spending the majority of the discussion on the famous DBZ character. While the article here is certainly, as you say, more or less an overly long disambiguation page, I think it serves its function in informing the reader on the larger history behind the name "Son Goku" without disrupting the focus of the DBZ Son Goku article. Thus, I would recommend keeping things as is.

(Edit: Actually, Daishokaioshin may have the right idea with merging "Son Goku" into "Son Wukong," and then just making Son Goku redirect appropriately.) Ridan Krad 10:32 AM, 4 April 2006 (PST)

The Sun Wukong article makes mention of what's in this article, to a lesser degree, and with inks to appropriate articles. I think this article doesn't really need to exist. Onikage725 21:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I believe that this article should be merged with Sun Wukong, NOT the one in Dragon Ball. The reason being is that, while Goku from DBZ is an anime character, Sun Goku and Sun Wukong are essentially the same character, just pronounced in different names in the Japanese version. Does Wikipedia need an article for EVERY Japanese word, even if it is a proper noun of an existing article? I don't think so. Observation 08:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I have proposed a merge of this page into Sun Wukong, with the reasons given by Elvenscout742 above. ian-Kiu-Biu 06:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

i agree with the merge, as to the reasons given by Observation

Z3u2 22:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the merge tag. After going through the contents of this article and the Sun Wukong article, I suggest renaming this article to Son Goku (Saiyuki), making it parallel to Cho Hakkai (Saiyuki) and Son Goku (Dragon Ball). The Alakzam the Great stuff, among others, should be removed, for the reasons given by Onikage725 above. ian-Kiu 06:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I have merged the son goku stuff over there, this page have no reason to stay, with no ref. If ever a new page should be created, it should be Other Fictional appearance of Sun Wukong or Series referencing Sun Wukong with the whole list there moved to the new page.

[edit] A Worm in Journey to the West

Something is wrong with the page about Journey to the West. Whenever I try to access it, my computer says that a worm attempted to access my computer. After that, the pictures on Wikipedia don't load properly unless I restart my computer. I would put this comment on on The Journey to the West page, but I'm scared that going back to it might mess up my computer. Its possible that there might just be something wrong with my computer, but I think someone should should check the Journey to the West page and make sure that its working properly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.196.242.114 (talk • contribs) .

I had no problem with the page. Note that I am under Linux, with Firewall but without antivirus, so I can't guess what is triggering such alarm. -- ReyBrujo 03:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goku redirect dispute

Just recently, the redirect page (Goku) was redirected to this article. I think it would be most suitable if Goku was redirected to Son Goku (Dragon Ball) instead of Son Goku because most of the articles that link to the Goku redirect page is intended for Son Goku (Dragon Ball) only, not several other characters named Son Goku. Just look at what links to Goku - most (if not all) pages that link to Goku is intended for the Dragon Ball Goku only.

[edit] Picture

Hopefully it changes by the time you read this but out of all the amazing pictures and shots of goku in 276 episodes of DBZ alone, this one doesn't even look like him. He's wearing a plain blue shirt which he never does, his neck is fat and wide like he has a thyroid problem, thats not how he usually looks, and it looks like Puar's ear or something in in the picture. Please someone find me a good picture, i'll look for one i dont' care just that has to get changed.
