Nobody beats eating Goku. Gohan comes a little close, but the Earth-raised Saiyan is invincible in this area. Why do you have this seemingly endless appetite? We are going to know the origin of this curious, and very funny, phenomenon that has Dragon Ball stories.
One of the most popular theories is that Goku’s appetite is a consequence of his race. Saiyans are a species of warriors who require a large amount of energy to train and fight. So, it is said that the warrior’s appetite is a way for his body to obtain the energy he needs to stay strong.
But pause. Vegeta doesn’t eat like that. So this theory falls apart immediately. This is how Goku’s upbringing appears. The little warrior was left alone at a very early age, so he had to live experiences in which he had to fend for himself.
However, Gohan, who did have an upbringing with his mother present, also eats the same way. Consequently, this is another theory that fails to hold up much.
Everything leads us to know the true origin of why Goku eats so much, a simple humorous gag that has to do with the tastes of Akira Toriyama.
As Espacio Jugones remembers well, the Japanese mangaka is a big fan of Jackie Chan’s adventures, so his main character, Goku, has many characteristics of the Chinese actor’s roles in his films.
In fact, here we show you this video in which Jackie eats like crazy, just like Goku does in Dragon Ball.
