He Dies A Lot
What does Ash and Dragon Ball’s Goku have in common? They both have a thing for dying or getting pretty close to it and coming back as if nothing happened. Ash has three deaths on record at the moment but the more you begin to shift through episodes, the more it seems like he may have actually been killed even more than that. In one episode, a chandelier collapses on Ash and Pikachu and while it may seem like they’re just knocked unconscious, a Haunter appears and politely removes both of their souls from their bodies. In Pokemon the Movie: White – Victini and Zekron, we see Ash freeze to death as Pikachu and Victini cry next to his lifeless body. And who can forget the time Ash decided to step between two powerful blasts from Mew and Mewtwo?
