Bulma celebrating the new year with the girlz

Dragon Ball’s Chi Chi is a cool character

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.

So. Noticed something in the Buu Saga opening -

Everyone’s there. Goku drops in.

Yeah we all know that. But then.

Look at Chi-Chi’s face! 

And Gohan too! 

Now watch Chi-Chi’s face (and Goku’s hands) closely.

Guys it makes me so happy. The little things. IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS I SWEAR.

She’s so happy ~

do you think Goku was physically attracted to Chi Chi, because he always seemed to be so clueless about all that kind of stuff??

MY SHIPPER GOCHI HEART SAYS YES!!!

buuuuut if I’m going to be honest with myself. I don’t think he was physically attracted to Chichi in the beginning because you know Son Goku is so clueless and pure hearted. 

That was his whole character. He was a pure,innocent, and clueless kid. He didn’t care about the female body. 

But it looks like when we get further into the series he starts to blush more around her ESPECIALLY when she puts her body super close to his. 

I think what was happening here was that he was experiencing new changes in his body and didn’t understand any of it.

Like in the top picture he looks like he’s blushing because he can feel her boobs. xD Plus he never had anyone hug him that close like chichi is doing.

SO in short. For me personally Goku didn’t find woman attractive when he was a kid/young teen, but then when we see him turn into a young adult he starts to find girls a little more attractive. Plus Bulma mentions on the SD manga how goku was pure and inocent as a kid but then turns into another fillthy adult when he’s older xD 

Plus there is a moment where Goku says Bulma’s boobs are bigger than Chichi’s like if the guy measures boob size. and also because on the Battle of Gods movie, Chichi says “what are you saying Piccolo? Are you saying Goku is not pure?” 

and he slams his face like if saying “wtf Chichi do we not have sex???” 

((lmao chichi is so clueless and cute x3 ))

oh yeah plus there was another time where goku looks at chichi hungrily. (he doesn’t stop looking at her even if he has food) 

PPLLUUSS *cough* he was *cough* in a hurry *cough* to have some *cough* “alone time *COUGH* with chichi cause he was horny
