Plus why would they erase roshi;s perpvertedness completely when he had that fancy shirt and jacket/sweater on in that photo with goku.

he french magazine Cine Live ran an article on Dragonball, which has several revealing quotes from the executive producer Tim Van Rellim and director James Wong. Perhaps the most notable revelation is from Wong, who comments on a certain perverted turtle hermit.

Is Roshi true to the manga character? “Yes, somewhat,” said director James Wong. “We kept his main features, like his humor. But in the manga Roshi is a true sexual pervert, which wouldn’t work in a family film. So we removed that part of the character.”

“I discovered that Dragonball had such a rich universe that it would take several films to cover all of its treasures. My goal with this movie is not to convince existing fans that Dragonball is great, they already know this, but to give a new audience. More adults, as I was a neophyte myself before discovering the manga!”
