I just finished watching the original Dragon Ball series and it was a ton of fun. I’d never really watched the original series before because when it was on Toonami, I thought it was just like the baby version of Dragon Ball Z. It’s definitely not that and fills in a lot of cool plot holes and interesting details I never knew about the universe or the characters.
One character in particular was super interesting and that was Chi Chi. I had always thought of Chi Chi as a bit of a stereotyped mom character until I watched Dragon Ball. She was always worried about her son, did a bunch of cooking and cleaning, nagged Goku to stay with her and Gohan more, and was generally a Mom.
After viewing Dragon Ball, I get a different perspective on her character. From the first introduction of Chi Chi, we get a girl who had made her decisions for the future on her own. Her father, The Ox King is a martial artist who keeps his daughter safe from harm and cares about her growing up strong. He teaches her fighting techniques and doesn’t pressure her into obeying some feminine lifestyle of cooking and cleaning. He’s oblivious and doesn’t realize she’s talking about marriage to Goku when she first brings it up. He’d never even thought of his daughter as a bride until she mentioned it.
She is actually a competent enough fighter by the time she’s 19 to make it to the quarter finals of the World Martial Arts tournament which is pretty awesome considering she’s a regular human and not some crazy ass alien. But she actually chooses to live the life of a housewife. She’s been basically raised her whole life to be capable of protecting her self, but she decides that what will actually make her happy is just to be Goku’s wife.
I kind of just think that’s nice that she gets to do what makes her happy. She’s not some cliched character in the original series. She unfortunately becomes a cliche in Dragon Ball Z when she is lowered to basically a sitcom mom. I don’t feel like there’s an excuse for this other than that they love slapstick in Dragon Ball and Chi Chi just wasn’t a strong enough fighter to be a part of the big fighting action team. It’s a sad place to see such an interesting character go. Especially after seeing her work with Goku to find the Bansho fan in the last set of filler episodes of the series.

When I find a person that ships Gochi.
 ME:Â
I'm so obsessed with them
goku reese's puffs
(he would in fact eat them up)
So happy they did this VERY short scene. Of Goku & Chi walking together..i mean they did “create” the Son family.Â
Shipping nonsense should not even be an issue in the Dragon Ball fandom and I’m appalled that people are taking it to such an obscene level where there’s now strife between ships. There shouldn’t be a ship war happening between VegeBul and GoChi (Also why the fuck is even KakaVege getting into the mix?)
First off, shipping shouldn’t have been the final straw to break the camel’s back on your abandonment of watching Super. You all should’ve stopped watching DBS months ago after Toei completely disregarded the timeline, made several established characters go all ooc, and scorched our corneas with its bad animation.
Secondly, if for some odd reason you’re still continuing on with Super (because you’re a sadist) you should do so through parodic lenses and not take anything in it to heart. All Super is is a cash grab. Nothing about it matters! The only reason Super is giving us all these cute VegeBul and KakaVege moments while unjustly throwing GoChi under the bus is because it’s all for the lawls. It’s half-assed fan service that’s supposed to make us chuckle. None of it truly pertains to the development of the story.
Do I honestly think Goku and Chi-Chi have never really kissed? No. Come on. They have two sons.
The only two explanations as to why Goku and Chi-Chi may have never kissed are either because: a. Goku fucks like a Dothraki - all animalistic and doggy style or b. Chi-Chi simply turkey bastered herself to get pregnant.
But, either of those scenarios don’t seem likely, so I’m fairly certain they have kissed while making love at some point in their relationship. Maybe Goku was teasing or was confused? He often does/is both.
