Is there a lore reason for why Goku is able to unhinge his jaw?

he's part ape

That’s some uncanny creepy pasta type stuff

So saiyan can eat a lot fast, thats my head canon.

His mouth in these frames resembles an Oozaru’s open mouth. Probably just artistic flair

So that’s where Cell got it from.

[GIF] 

Saiyans can do it.

Squeaky toy noise*

He’s just hungry. Feed him.

[Image] 

Saiyan’s eat fuck tons of food so it’s probably an evolutionary trait of similar in design but different in purpose to Tasmanian Tigers

[Image] 

this yall goat😭🙏⁉️

[Image] 

He’s a hungry hungry hippo

It’s anime and it’s exaggerated in a lot of ways to accentuate the depth of the experience. So no, not really lol

He's a titan

I can unhinge my jaw. Why can’t you?

They live in a gag manga universe. remember that.

That boy be grubbing

It’s a cartoon/comic. That’s it. Read the comic and you see far crazier anatomy on many characters at various instances. Huge bug eyes, huge mouths, etc

Saiya-jin physiology, probably.

Bro if I went through the pain he goes through my jaw would also unhinge

Probably so be can eat more

This is drawn. That's why.

Have you seen him eat? That's why

oh man that face on goku is really funnily creepy as heck I'm pretty sure he's gonna hurt his jaw bones for opening his mouth wide open

He’s a Snek

He consumes

Tbf I would also be hollering also if I was being crushed or shocked

Hes monkey

It’s the ultra bite side effect

It’s funni

m o n k e

Its a Saiyan thing......... I think

Why do i hear tom from tom and jerry yelling when i see these

Monke

Mans gotta eat.

To eat EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!! NOM NOM NOM NOM

Unintentionally horrifying

Hehe... hello monkeys!

Have you seen him bite someone? Goku has major bite force

Could be a form of self defense as goku prides himself in training In it

He’s a Beetlejuice fan

King kai taught it to him

No, but I'm surprised there isn't a creepy pasta for it

Krillin does it too while he is fighting Frieza on Namek

He’s a monkey

To eat more efficiently

AYIIEIEEEE

I got it from my daddy

Thylacine genes

I mean he can do a lot of things lol

His eating habits were training for his jaw muscles.

He's a monke

to get milk from chi-chi's chi-chi's

No.

Saiyans aren't human so there's that

Electricistas:

The reason is that it looks silly

Hes a saiyan

Man's gotta eat

[Image] 

I mean... have you seen the way he eats? (...and the in what quantities).

*squeek*

Bro broke his jaw. He can’t mew!

that’s from the film beetle juice 😂😂

It would be hilarious if this was like, canonically not normal for saiyans but never got explained in the lore. Dude just opens his mouth like that

1987

You never see him eat? Dude's been taking massive bites his whole life.

Logical answers: it’s to express anguish or pain

Headcannon: he’s a monkey

Toriyama owwie face

ugh

Casting couch at Toei 😭😭😭

He's not human so I would imagine their anatomy is different in some ways

lol Dragon Ball meets Parasyte

He just got that dawg in him

Slow day for Dragon ball eh...

Saiyan gene, you wouldn't get it

To show how much pain he is in

So he can bite his opponent

Bro, he eats so much

[Image] 

Do you even know what how much and how saiyans eats

The better to eat with

Have you seen how much the man has to eat? Unhinging his jaw is yhe only way he can keep his calorie intake high enough not to fucking die.

Dinosaur~

He's not an unhinging his jaw he's just opening it really wide, that's just the art style

He is like Flowey from Undertale Yellow

[Image] 

To stuff their faces with food, how else do they eat that fast?

He's an alien

Aliens

The bottom one is actually really fuckin scary the more I look at it the more scared I get

I personally have no idea why they made Goku's jaw all fucked up like that, however, it's likely just a stylistic reason. Aside from being ape-like there's likely no other reason.

[Image] 

Heh, Monkey.

It's Saiyan genetics so they can take ape mode cocks.

He isn’t human

dude eats so fast his jaw adapted to allow him to ingest rather than chew, like patrick . . . or domo

[GIF] 

Maybe primates possess the ability to do so. So maybe IF monkeys can do it, Saiyans can too

To eat more faster?

Art style for shock value. It’s to let you know everything you’ve seen before was bullshit compared to how much THIS SHIT hurts

The snake lady showed him.

Source: it came to me in a dream.

[Image] 

Even dbl does it

Yea.....pain.

Have you seen saijin's eat?

You know there isnt any damn lore for this .

To bite the fuck down on his enemies, as he shown against Frieza, Buu, Beerus and Whis.

Cause hes a monkey

Probably to do with the whole Saiyans can eat mass amounts of food

The fact you can see people's fists and feet bulge through the otherside of people's body after a punch is fine but Goku's slightly extended jaw during a scream of agony is what takes it too far?

Because he is secretly the Jaw Titan too.

Goku is an alien. That’s canon.

His anatomy is like a human’s visually. But Goku is not human so you cannot assume he has limits like humans.

He ate fent instead of senzu

Monkey

Saiyans can naturally do this to eat more and bigger foods. It's very natural.

Coz he’s a MONKEY

[GIF] 

Well he had to have some way to eat those colossal fish.

Super saiyan multiplies his abilities by 50x, clearly one of these abilities is a big ass jaw

He can loop his jaw around his head several times and back around again at least 50x in super saiyan, then he can let go of it and jaw slap someone however many times he looped it around

Its deals alot of damage but he prefers to just use that power to bite people instead

Plot reason: Geets is a hung manlet.

Monke

That bottom pic is genuinely unsettling.

Don't mention what he did on a certain birthday party on 1987

Well. Thats a saiyan trait so they can eat more food at once.

What that mouth do Goku? 👀

No, it's just a anime

Pain

Idk but he definitely looks like he’s in a fuck-ton of pain with his mouth like that

*squeak*

Oh my God that's HILARIOUS!!!!

I'll make~ you say~ how proud~ you are of me! So stay~ awake~ just long~ enough to see, my way~!

It’s so that he can eat five weeks of food in one gulp.

you think a saiyan could fit as much in their mouth as we've seen them do without being able to unhinge their jaws?

It's a Saiyan trait required to keep up with their eating habits.

Don't question it

So THATS why Chi-Chi married him

How else is he supposed to eat so muxh

there are 2 options here.

1) You are either taking the piss, or

2) Media literacy hitting all time lows as people do not understand the purpose of animated work.
