When I was working on a cruise ship, a noticeboard poster said it all: “Please remember that Americans consider it acceptable to brag about their kids. Australians do not.”

    I’m confused. Isn’t Dragon Ball a Japanese franchise?

      The English dub gave him an Australian accent

        Oh I see. Thanks for the link! I didn’t realise that. I’ve not watched the show since I was a kid, and back then I don’t think I noticed people’s accents so much.

        Is it actually an Australian accent or is it an American attempting and failing to do an Australian accent? It sounds off to me.

        EDIT: Seems like he is Canadian.
