Dragon Ball Fan Captures Master Roshi’s Naughty Energy in Budget Cosplay

The inventive cosplay of this Dragon Ball fan, inspired by thrift stores and thrift stores, recreates the legendary anime character’s lecherous master, with a bushy eyebrow.

A Dragon Ball enthusiast made a fitting tribute to the lecherous Sage from the anime.

Candid_Clown’s Reddit post showcases his creative Master Roshi cosplay. It reveals the more naughty aspect of the old-fashioned teacher. The costume was created using parts from a thrift store as per the post on Reddit. This was the reason for Roshi’s style which is constantly changing. The wavy beard and flowing white eyebrows complete the look that is the hallmark of a 430-year-old man who is convinced that the world is his oyster.

Master Roshi Characters in anime

Dragon Ball was launched in 1984 by Akira Toriyama’s first manga, which was published through Shonen Jump for more than 10 years. In 1986, the manga was made into an animated series that ran for 153 episodes and introduced characters like Goku as well as Master Roshi. Roshi was first introduced in the animated series “Emperor Pilaf Saga” before becoming the master of characters like Goku, Krillin, and Gohan. Roshi showed his sexually aggressive side in the very first episode of the series when he offered Bulma one of the rarest and strong “Dragon Balls,” in exchange for a glimpse of her underwear.

Master Roshi was among the first and most well-known of a long list of perverted male characters that have appeared in popular animated shows. The infamous trope is prevalent in the medium. From Naruto’s Jiraiya and on to Chainsaw Man’s Denji the anime genre has been a satire on sexual machismo. This is a tradition that dates back to characters such as Master Roshi who are shown watching or making sexual advances toward women to make comical sense. The stereotype of male lechery with the unsatisfactory depiction of female characters in anime continues to plague the medium, 20 years later Master Roshi made his debut. However, there have been certain instances that suggest that the genre is beginning to turn a corner.
