everyone feels spoiler differently but for me some of your comments would fall under it. especially when you write about things that haven't happened yet. or confirm things that are still to be confirmed. But that's not my decision to say what is considered a spoiler or not.

I warned you that you may need a comfort animal for this. You should know, it's not over yet so now you may want to get one.
Just to squash any lingering hopes you may have, yes, Roshi is dead. (I have been waiting for this reaction since you decided Roshi was your favourite character.)
Talking about dead characters, Goku may not be dead but his heart did stop when Piccolo attacked him. There was a sound that represented the heartbeat that sounded a slowing beat just after he got hit to let you know that he had in fact (quotations) died. It is also why Piccolo stated that his heart was cold. He didn't feel a heartbeat cos there was none. It can almost be said that it was Goku's willpower that restarted his heart when Yajirobe came to check on him.
Next we have more despair, more terror and more death. We get to see some familiar faces from past arcs, but not all have a joyful reunion. Piccolo truly begins his conquest now.
P.S. Timezone is Australian Eastern Standard Time meaning that for the moment with you being in (as you put it) 'Murica eastern time, I am 15 hours ahead of you. When you move I may be 20 hours ahead of you but reversing it would mean you would only be 4 hours ahead of me but a day behind haha. Essentially a closer timezone.
P.P.S When I grew up watching DBZ (we had that playing after school in the 90's and I never found out about OG Dragonball until I was older) there were 3 openings played for us Kiwis. The first was a rock opening that is epic. Second was an opening that used some of the Falconer score music as it's opening theme and showed a culmination of events up to that point. The last one was another Falconer score with updated graphics to show the passage of time to the new arc and characters. The music truly is epic in the OG DBZ.

As for the time. In Germany we are 6 hours ahead.
I think during Dragonball, Goku is only human. At least that's how I saw him as a child, when I first saw Dragonball.
to the episodes
I don't know if we ever saw Goku without a chance. Even in his first fight against Tao, it wasn't that clear.
As for the opening.
Dragonball Z and Super have really great opening songs. Unfortunately, the Dragonball Z versions didn't make it to the USA.

It has not been mentioned that Goku is not human in Dragon Ball, and tail or no tail I would say he is a human. Who ever said that only people born on Earth can be human. Luke Skywalker isn't from earth and he is human.
When Roshi was saying he waxed his head he meant that he waxed his head like you would wax a car, not waxing like a Brazilian wax. He is bald

i think we exaggerated about dbz being really dark yes some parts will be dark but for the most part its comedy when they talk about piccolo"best dad" its a joke you wont get until you watch dbz. im gonna rip all 291 episodes to a dvd and it has three audio tracks the orginal one, the redubed funanimation one and japanese all in one. all the episodes are the same like funimation the only difference it has the orginal bruce music. when u get close to dbz if your intrested i can send this dvd so you can either compare the sound difference off camera or im hoping you can react with the bruce music its in hd also. when you hear the difference trust me the orginal is gonna make the episodes flow better, the funimation version is just the characters talking. it sound so plain like they sucked the life out of the show
