Sister Rose | Virtual Púca: Even Frieza who is pretty irredeemable came in handy in the TOP. Goku isn't amoral, he's just overconfident he can take down any guy that might cause trouble and gets blinded by his primary motivation to Fight Strong Guys

the whole ‘actually, killing the villain makes us just as bad as him’ trope had done incomprehensible damage to society and i’m not kidding

This is why kids who love goku and Naruto Largely grew up to be communists.

To be fair to Goku, he usually left his villains alive so he could fight them again later. Not exactly morally upstanding, but you gotta respect his inability to really give a shit about casualties. That's what constant access to the dragon balls does to a man, I guess.

Alright he gave second chances after he utterly humiliated them and he's sure he can beat them up afterwards but he aint above murking Freeza, Cell and Buu, he straight up broke Nappa's back just to stop him

I hesitate to call what Goku does rehabilitative justice but it's hard to argue with results if you consider Tien, Piccolo, and Vegeta.

Him and frieza fighting together is a goated moment i swear to god

Goku brings everyone together with the power of “hitting them really really hard”

Goku's villains (not counting anything past Z cause bleh): Piccolo: Spared for Kami's sake and Dragon Balls. Totally killed Piccolo senior. Vegeta: A foe like no other. Buu: Reincarnation. Freeza: For me, I'd hesitate to ignore anyone begging for help, especially at his state. "Killed" later anyway.

I'm not sure where to wedge this into the conversation, but Goku also has firsthand knowledge of the afterlife. I feel like that definitely changes what it means to kill someone.
