Chichi is a good wife though. She might scream and rage but ultimately she supports him in his endeavors. (At the very least because she can't actually stop him to any degree, but still.)
She nags but only because Goku would never listen otherwise.
She is a fairly bad mother, but that is the typical image of a japanese mother. Japanese parenting is awful on a child.

How would it be bait? Goku is a fun hero, I guess, but nobody would want him as a family member. He puts his own desires over the wants and needs of those around him. He's not empathetic, nor does he try to be.

He lied about planning a surprise party for his granddaughter. He doesn't even hold her. He doesn't care.

Goku is naturally carefree and a warrior. Chi Chi is the idiot who expected him to conform to her romantic advances and settle down. The guy has an adolescent stage that is our life span (80 years is still considered young). That's all her fault. Plus, Goku is CLEARLY alpha, and Chi Chi should have fallen in line and trained with him, Gohan becoming far stronger and righteously succeeding his father appropriately for the story line.

Yes.

Good fathers/husbands don't abandon their family for months and years at a time.

Good fathers/husbands don't allow murderous villains to live, just because they want to fight them.

Good fathers/husbands aren't absent for the first six years of their child's life.

Being opinionated doesn't make her Beta, being his wife who gets ignored and laughed at does. Plus she does cook and clean for him. She changed everything about herself to fit the delusion of the "model wife."

She has a shitty concept of love, and should have let him be.

Goku is pure-hearted, that's one of his flaws. Plus, one again, he's naive. Vegeta is definitely a piece of shit in comparison.

He was DEAD when Goten was born, and Goten only knew stories of his father, and still accepted and loved him as a father when he had the chance of coming back.

And Goku has Chi Chi to thank for that as she's the one who raised Goten alone (big surprise) getting him into material arts and talking him wonders about his father. For all the shit she gives Goku for being a lame family head (which he is) she always places him in a good spot with their children. Chi Chi has never questoned him as a person, a material artist or a man. She only reclamos his lack of parental perception. Even defensa him when other people calls Goku stupid or a loser. But as always Chi Chi haters conveniently overlook that to fit the "evil angry bitch" they depicted in their minds. Also...

>Goku is Alpha
Please elaborate. No, really.

>>143607430

He's a complete asshole and a psychopath. Note that he didn't even check in on Chichi or Gohan once during 7 fucking years. Not even once. Also note that Future Goku never told Future Gohan about new namek or the time chamber.

At the end of the day she is a good and loyal wife. I bet you if Vegeta had died during the Cell games, Bulma would have replaced him in a heartbeat.

Let's not demonize Goku. He's a friendly noble person but as domebody said earlier he doesn't love people the way humans do. He's naive and pure hearted like a child but that also makes him detached from the more meaningful side of things like a relationship and parenthood aside of camaraderie and pride. He has done lucid moments where he shares his wisdom and legacy with his offspring but other than that he's more a friend or a big brother than a proper parent. He's cool, fun and badass but won't be able to carry a family on his own.

>>143607652
>Denoting a person who has a dominant role or position within a particular sphere.

Even with Vegeta succeeding him in strength, Goku would have lost if it wasn't for Kaioken. Once again, he states his dominance by remaining competitive and having wits greater than stronger opponents. The Frieza saga was plot armor done beautifully, him once again being dominant and defeating him. He thought he killed him, and left Frieza to die in the explosion. Not his fault Frieza didn't; he's just hardy. Whoops.

What I detect is her being naturally worried about her son becoming a decent person with a cetered outlook on life instead of just a lazy brute that takes life for granted. It's not just about the money its about being a good man with goals and duties.

Toriyama confirmed that Goku is a while back. He see only sees Gohan, Goten, and ChiChi as "friends".
Now don't get me wrong, Goku cares very deeply about his friends. But he'd also spend long periods away from them to train in shit. After he defeated the Red Ribbon Army Roshi told Goku he had nothing left to teach him, so he trained on the other side of the world for the next 3 years. After he killed King Piccolo and reviving his friends, Goku trained at Kami's Lookout for the next 3 years, Krillin didn't even get to thank Goku until he reunited with everyone at the tournament. Goku didn't contact anyone else after he defeated Piccolo Jr., Gohan's first meeting with them would be the first time Goku saw them after that, Gohan was 4.

>Good fathers/husbands don't abandon their family for months and years at a time.
Yes they do.
Every time there's a war, that's pretty much what they do.
There's also times when their career takes them away for such a long time that their family only sees them only couple of times a year.

>Good fathers/husbands don't allow murderous villains to live, just because they want to fight them.
Technically speaking, Goku spared the demon king because he didn't wanna kill kami and that worked out pretty well all things considered.
I mean, Piccolo was born out of pure evil, was pretty much seen to be the equivalent of satan himself and yet they still managed to redeem him, so it's no wonder he's not really that he's willing to believe everyone can be saved.

>Good fathers/husbands aren't absent for the first six years of their child's life.
They are if they're dead, fighting a war or making sure the kid doesn't starve.

Would you fucking look at Goten? He's Goku's spitting image, down to the uniform and the powers. With her husband dead, ChiChi clearly tried to fill the void in her life with her youngest son.

Did you miss an episode? Confirmed for 'she lied to motivate Goku'.

I might have been anime-only filler, but pretty sure she pushed him that direction because he had a talent for it.

Last episode of Super aside, she's been pretty loose on Goten. He has to study not to be a dumb hick like Goku (and Chichi), but she isn't pushing for smartest kid alive like Gohan.

Except that's the entire reason he stays dead during that time. So he could be himself and not put his family in danger. It's why he likes tournaments .
>has no problem leaving his family for years at a time
Except he see him learning, literally telling Chichi/the kids that he'll make sure to come back and visit. He doesn't mind being a part of them (he didn't really mind Grandpa Gohan being dead, but he was happy to see him again), love isn't just 'I miss you when you're gone', Goku pretty much confirmed for not feeling love that way, but he definitely feels love. So much he learns to make changes for his family, like making sure to come back and

The way you guys get so mad about goku as a father is truly amazing.

A lot of fathers work so much it's almost as if they aren't there anyway, and Goku got fucking pierced through the chest to save his son, then blown to bits, again to save his son, and realized that earth would be safer without him. Chichi is a selfish cunt for thinking it's more important that her son see his father and study and shit, than it is for the people of earth to live.

Remember, thousands of people died every time a villain appeared, and not all of them were brought back to life. Goku knew that protecting the earth by being absent was more important.

I feel like most of the people who spout this shitty meme are gohanfags.

well i'll step in for a moment. Goku and his family are basically a parody of the typical, suburban Japanese family. In Japan the father is gone almost 16 hours a day, working to support his family, he rarely sees his kids, and on the one day off the husband/father has he usually sleeps or just does something for himself, so he barely knows anything about his kids or the finances of his own household, his wife handles all of it. The crazy thing is, this is how a Japanese family has operated for at least 5 decades now. Its actually a standard.

Is Goku a bad husband and father? yes he is. But its understandable. If you look at the history of Dragonball, Goku usually has to play catch up whenever a new big bad appears, generally his time to catch up costs millions if not billions of lives. This is why Goku is so obsessed with training. Because he no longer wants to have to play catch up whenever a new big bad appears. It actually makes sense.

Also Vegeta isn't much better, but Saiyan males in general aren't good fathers. Its part of their culture and its probably genetically ingrained by now.

All in all, Dragonball is a action comedy so get over yourselves.
>>
>>143617877
You and I both know that Goten is never going to amount to anything in terms of fighting. Forcing him to study is the right move. And Goku already proved that he's perfectly capable of being a farmer and training with Whis. Everything is fine.
>>
>>143608026
Just because you can cheat doesn't mean you should. Goku has a conscience unlike you. The only reason he even bothers stepping in is because everyone is incompetent and he wants to protect his family even if he shouldn't.

Now that we know Zeno can just kill off a universe if they fuck around too much, Goku isn't really making a bad decision by following the rules.
>>
>>143617903
But if you have to fucking defeat people who could blow up a galaxy on a whim, it's not bad fucking parenting to train to defeat them when your fucking kids would likely get killed if you didn't.

It's not a typical situation, it's not like he running off and getting drunk when he's away, he's fighting people who are trying to kill people.

He's not a bad father, because he doesn't really have the choice of staying at home forever.
>>
>>143617810
One of the croks ate the hand of another. ;_;
>>
>>143617684
>>143617768
Neither Goku or Chichi are bad parents, yes they have flaws but that something to be expected. The biggest mistake that Goku did as a parent was him not being able to understand Gohan's mind and motivations back in the Cell Tournament. And that makes sense, he has issues understanding other people's points of view.
>>
>>143617684
>>143617718
>>143617768
Goku's love in life is fights, he has put his family and planet in danger for his fight's boner.
Chi Chi is a cunt that can't understand the universe wants to kill his family of space alien, the only thing that keeps them alive is their powers. They need to train, but she refuses to accept this.
Both are shit.
>>
>>143617987
>You and I both know that Goten is never going to amount to anything in terms of fighting
He may be a shit little kid, but he's the youngest super saiyan, and when fused is extremely powerful. If he was trained instead of studying he'd probably surpass gohan and vegeta in a few weeks.
>>
I wish Piccolo was my dad

>>143618056

>All in all, Dragonball is a action comedy so get over yourselves.

This.
I'm fairly certain most people complaining about Super never watched the original Dragon Ball and started with Z. Dragon Ball was never supposed to be a "serious" action series like Naruto, Bleach, HxH, etc.

No, he wouldn't. Goku and Vegeta are obsessed with fighting and training, but Goten isn't. It's just a game to him. He needs to study because one day, he's going to have to find a real job. Plus, it's not like he's forced to study 24/7 like people in this thread are making it out to be. We've seen him hanging out with Trunks and doing other things. If he's not training more, it's because he doesn't want to, not because of Chichi.

>GOKU'S A GOOD FATHER BECAUSE I LIKE HIM
You're free to like him, but he's objectively a bad father. He has a son in grade school and a newborn granddaughter, but he doesn't have any problem with stay away for months and even years.

And for what?

Is he working to provide for the family?

Is he on a top secret mission protecting people and saving lives?

No, he's out doing what he wants to do, for no one other than himself. He's selfish - horrifically selfish.

Goku hasn't given a shit about protecting the earth since the Buu Saga. Back then, he specifically held back, so that the next generation could take the reins and protect Earth on their own.

Nowadays, he doesn't care if Gohan, Goten, or Trunks get strong. He has no interest in how his children and grandchildren will deal with cataclysmic danger. Goku only cares about training so he can have fun fights.

Sometimes I wonder what direction the plot would have taken had Toriyama taken his editor's advice and hooked up Goku and Bulma. I like to imagine that Gohan would just be naturally smart, and they'd just be some adventuring family - Goku always looking for a new fight and Bulma just enjoying the journey as she seems to.

I'm glad with what we got though, I like that in a roundabout way Bulma got exactly what she wanted the dragon balls for. Her and Vegeta have a good dynamic, considering the two basically hooked up to secure both of their plot relevancy. Plus Goku and Chichi are pretty cute too

Bad husband topic aside this was utterly dumb the way it was written.

But Babidi/Majin Boo was entirely out of his control. They could've appeared with or without his presente, in fact, it could been disastrous if he wasn't there which makes the whole point of staying dead to loose all meaning.

>>143641278
That's what I love about Goku and Vegeta's families. On paper they look like trainwrecks, but it's the fact that they're so flawed that they work.
Chi-chi's nagging and quick temperedness reigns in Goku's lackadaisical and more neglectful characteristics, while Goku will still convince Chi-chi to let him do what he wants and she will always support him even though she worries. Gohan manages to juggle both being strong and being smart, traits he's learned from both parents and is legitimately happy.

Likewise, Someone as irresponsible as Bulma and as angry and destructive as Vegeta seem like they'd be awful parents. But Vegeta actually cares for his son and Bulma is an excelent provider for anything trunks would need (to the point that he's really spoiled). And Bulma and Vegeta bounce off of each other well because of Bulma's strange confidence she has talking back to people WAY stronger than her. And that gets her respect from Vegeta.

>>143628422
Explaining that he sees his family as "just friends", makes him sound like a piece of shit. It's less of a justification, and more retroactive horseshit.

I would have rather there not be this lame attempt to explain character relationships in DBZ. It's this weird world where things like this just happen. I mean shit, he didn't see the rest of the gang after winning the tournament for FOUR YEARS. No one kept in touch, when he showed up with Gohan, they thought he just picked up some kid, not that it was his son. It's not like they couldn't find him and visit, or pick up a phone or something.

To me, that says enough about character relationships in the series. "Well, as long as they aren't dead, I guess!"

Explaining that Goku is literally just 'battle monkey', even after he hit his head makes really brings down what little characterization he has.

When will capeshits learn that Goku isn't suppose to be like Superman. His race is a race that loves to fight and train. Yes he could have been a better father and yes he could go out of his way to protect the planet like some superhero, but everything he has done was too protect his children and the people of the planet. Heloves his wife, kids and the planet but if Goku didn't go out to train than the Earth would have been destroyed anyway. If you honestly believe that there's an actually choice of the matter than fuck off back to does capeshit shows that try to make every decision seem morally gray.

Her only real problem is being the "no fun allowed" parent, and trying very hard to keep her children from learning martial arts. Even if you aren't fighting for fun, it teaches discipline and makes for good exercise.

Even if no villains like Raditz ever showed up, self defense would still be valuable to learn since they live in the middle of nowhere where anything from mountain lions to dinosaurs could try to eat them.

Outside of that, the way ChiChi acts is understandable. She wants a normal life, while her family often gets dragged into fighting space monsters.

>he has potential but he is not a warrior and never would be
I thought the concept of a warrior is the one that fights for something (to protect, for the shit of it, for his king, his love ones). Gohan stopped training because he thought there weren't going to be any more threats.
Also don't mind the shitposter, he thinks Gohan is going to be happy staying in his home reading books while the villain wants to destroy the Earth.

Except that logic makes no sense. What other trouble would be attracted had he been around if he wasn't killed by Cell? What if he killed Freeza on Namek and died on Namek as well from the explosion? Dr. Gero would have still released his androids ect. If he died from the Pilaf gang, Red Ribbon Army would have still attempted to conquer the world. Raditz would have still come to Earth looking for him.

Well to be fair. Pilaf wouldn't have awakened Piccolo if not for Goku's constant interference. Raditz came to earth for him. Muten Roshi had a Dragonball and I honestly doubt Pilaf would've ever overpowered him. Although unintentional, that was HIM attracting trouble. And if Raditz hadn't come Piccolo wouldn't have been killed by nappa and they wouldn't have ever gone to namek. Hell, they may never have even encountered Freeza. Without him Dr. Gero wouldn't have built the androids or Cell.

Is this evidence of him being a good father or being smart? If it's the latter, I'll just say driving a car isn't that hard. Especially if it's an automatic. In that case you just need to understand Gas, Break and the basics of momentum, most of which you can just get a feel for.
I will say Driving a tractor may be more involved? and Super Goku can do that.

Or perhaps this is how you respond to everyone in here.

Anyways, I'm enjoying DBS. I enjoy how much of a deadbeat Goku is and the interactions with his family is really good. There is more family 'bonding' (in a dysfunctional humorous way) then there ever was in DBZ when the second a saga ended, Goku was gone.

I mean, look at it this way. When DBZ started, Chi Chi's only in person interaction with Goku up to the Android Saga was when he was in the hospital for a month and then he instantly left without saying goodbye. He comes back from outer space, trains hard for 3 years (not sure how much of that was family time if any) and then finally has some bonding with Chi Chi for a day when he was sick and 7 days prior to the Cell Games. Then he's dead for 7 years and finally once Buu was defeated, after all that time he gets to bond with his family without much interruption.

Nah, what you are seeing is the main problem with Super. Toriyama is not writing it. He just coming up with plots of arcs. You have a bunch of fuck heads that don't understand the characters doing the writing. That's why Goku is a fucking retard, despite the fact that, that was dropped a long time ago in the manga, after Goku trained with Kami. Or how Chichi is still a bitch and cares more about studying even though she mellowed out and accept marital arts with Goten during the period to cell to Buu.. Or the fact the Vegeta is still getting pissed that Goku passes him up strength-wise, even though he accepted at the end of DBZ that Goku is better than him. Super is just dumb fan service. The writers don't know the characters like Toriyama.

Jobbing is a wrestling term, losing a match to an opponent to sell how tough or challenging they are. Effectively "doing one's job" for the sake of the storyline in place, such as promoting a new and rising star. Key word losing, here. Neither Goku nor Black lost the match, it was cut short because of the Time Ring, and neither were giving it their all to begin with, as confirmed by Trunks. A match ended because of interference, with no real winner, is not jobbing.

Jobbing would be if Vegeta fought him and lost against him handily, like he did against Cell.

Wishful thinking. You truly never read any of his other works then.

It was dropped because Toriyama was heavily pressured by his editors to just focus on the action. Goku was still fucking silly when he had the chance to be.

Are you the loon who thinks that Toriyama is writing the anime's entire script and that the script writers credited for each episode are just tweaking stuff to make it fit into the episode length?

Again? Nigga Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT were all fairly poorly animated for their time, with a few exceptions. It's more of the same.

>>143654447

>They're in Quantity > Quality mode. There's no going back.

Oh yeah because we ALL know that Toei never shat out a bunch of animes each and every single year until like the past decade right???

No, this is because of outsourcing more anime over to South East Asia and laziness. Toei has always made cheap animation, DBZ is cheap animation, it's weekly animation much akin to the bulk of what Toei makes. It's always been like this. But this is a whole new low in the past 5 or so years. Which is a shame.

That's edited with the blurs and camera shakes and slightly sped up to be more concise, but I will admit Original Dragonball really focused alot on straight up martial arts fight choreography.Probably because the fights were much smaller scale and more controlled so they really had to play around within the parameters of the battlefield.

Yeah it was weird. It only started growing on me recently but now I actually prefer it to her bangs. Maybe it's because it's a look only Chi-chi really has, so it's something entirely "her". It's more cute than sexy, which I feel makes her sexier in a weird way. Like Chi-chi's so modest and conservative it kind of gives her an allure of maturity.

Admit that you have lost this sad excuse for a debate as you have nothing to back up any of your claims...you may finally be ale to let go of your anger and start over, as will I.

Not to mention that we had no youtube or easy way to access a place to discuss an episode that just released over in Japan and subtitled in just a day.

The only problem I have with DBS is the animation, but that's due to Toei's past 6-7 years of shitty track record. Outside of that, I'm loving how light hearted it is, I'm loving we're seeing interactions even in the slice of life section one of which we never really got in DB or DBZ. It's refreshing.

Draw Chi-chi as Jojo, Bulma as DIO, with Goku and Vegeta as Stands. And try to make that cute, hahaha.

>>143654922
Because nobody wants to redraw the same damaged battle armor over and over, just scratch marks and bruises.

Your pic was not /a/ related, mine was. After my post you correct your mistake and posted an /a/ related pic therefore I assume you learned your lesson.

Good boy.

Did you watch the filler of Z or Kai?

I hope Kai. Anyways, I'm enjoying it. So unfortunate for you.

>>143657152
I watched Z, then I read it up to the Cell Games.

His head is slightly tilted forward.

>>143657127

Shave him bald and he looks like Tien without the third eye.

goku black came from another timeline because he's in 2nd and 3rd dead. That's what Cell said in Zee.
>>
>>143657152

I am enjoying Super too but I bet that is because I skipped the BoG and RoF and jumped directly to the new content.
>>
>>143657358
I thought the BoG re-telling was good, not as fun as the movie but it was enjoyable, some interesting additions and had some good fight sequences.
RoF was a shit movie, and the re-telling was a mess.

Why cant he have nice things? Being Future Trunks is suffering, sadness and sorrow.

The animation and fight scenes were objectively better then:

watch from 9:43 onwards

No fight in Super can compare to this
>>
>>143657702
Is this a new meme or what? Everytime I see a thread of Super, someone always post this shit.

You forgot to put supreme kaio of time wont be canon
>>
>>143655525
Super doesn't have any feeling of physics or weight. The choreography is better, but the animation is amateurish and fails to make the movement look like actual attacks.
>>
>>143657127
Everyone in DB does. Look at Android 18 and 17.

mate, I have some news for you...
>>
>>143657702
well if it makes you feel better, there's no way Super can be considered canon anyway. Future trunks's future is different from the way it was in Z. its a retcon that doesn't make any sense.
At least GT stuck to the original story better.

Look, i grew up in a military town. most of my friends can relate. Military requires your parents to leave to go a really far ways away in order to train, to go to battle, and then for medical care in some cases. Goku, unlike military however, has to choose to do his job. we give the military a go-ahead because "They have to, its orders" But they CHOSE to be in the military. Goku may not be receiving orders, but he chose to protect earth and his family the same way a marine does. his training just takes longer. and good thing too; how many times does goku train for years and still barely scrape by? At least Goku tries to involve his family the best he can.
>>
>>143607104
it says clearly that he chose to stay dead because his presence was what brought about the androids and cell and the saiyans in the first place. almost every threat from Raditz on was basically caused because Goku was alive. thats why shenron took him away at the end of GT
>>
If you're a parent, and your child lives on a planet that is about to get destroyed or has the threat often enough for you to have saved it multiple times, and you don't train and let your child die, you're a shittier parent than a neglectful parent.
