Isn’t he a Djinn?
That’s an influence but I find it hard to believe that’s the only thing drawn from in the character design. Watch the bit starting around 5 mins in. Here’s a time stamped link or jump right to the bit about Blackamoors
Thanks!! :D
Mr. Popo is amazing
Really informative video. I honestly never thought about Mr. Popo that hard. I think at some point I might have had a passing thought his design was kinda messed up but he didn’t come up in DBZ enough for that realization to really take root. I like how in the video he addresses some of the false inspirations people like to bestow on the character. And it’s kind of wild they changed him to blue in some versions. I think the ultimate point he was trying to make is a good one: we should just acknowledge it and move on instead making up reasons that Mr. Popo isn’t what he is. Awareness and honesty while still being a fan of the show.
