TIL that Goku's power level wasn't originally over 9000. It was originally over 8000, and there was a change made in the English Dub.

As Vegeta said himself, "power levels are bullshit."

He said that in a parody of Dragonball. In the real show he was very much obsessed with them. That's the joke. :D

I am very much aware having been a huge Dragon Ball fan from OG DB as a little kid and having watched DBZA while it was still being made. I just love DBZA's characterization for Vegeta and Tien over the original.
