Dragon Ball, the famous anime series created by the vision of Japanese manga artist Akira Toriyama, has been a fan favorite since its inception in 1984. However, the character of Master Roshi, or Turtle Hermit, stood out from the crowd. Roshi, the originator of the Kamehameha Wave, is the wisest of them all. And now, the first master of Goku is making the rounds on the internet; all courtesy goes to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

A social media handle recently shared a photo of the Austrian Oak riding a bike while wearing a Hawaiian outfit. While his love for cycling is well known, fans compared the actor to Master Roshi. All because of the patterned shirt he was seen wearing, which was similar to what the hermit was known to dress in. Not only this, even Schwarzenegger’s beard looked way too similar to the character and indeed it seems as if he is “becoming Master Roshi” as he is growing old.

Fans even noted that even at the age of 74, the Terminator star is still quite active in Hollywood and extremely fit, not missing a single day at the gym. So much is his love for the gym that he got most ideas for his recent book, Be Useful, there. This trait is similar to Roshi’s, as the hermit is still capable of defeating anyone at the age of roughly 320 years.

While this is not the first time the Austrian Oak was riding a bicycle, it was indeed new to see him wearing a Hawaiian shirt which was nothing but way too similar to Roshi. Poking fun at this, one user named Tarik Abdhalghani expressed his joy by commenting, “So there’s still hope to learn the Kamehameha,” a strong reference to Roshi’s invented martial arts technique. Other fans chipped in as well in the comments section.

While some fans made fun of the image, others took it more seriously. “Don’t disrespect Arnold like that,” one person said, while others quipped that “he might just be roshi” and added, “Master Roshi is becoming Arnold.” Another user commented that this may be a terrific movie idea, with the film being titled “Roschwarzenegger.”
