Most fans are understandably condemning goku treat Chi-Chi’s wife in seven dragon pearls and Super, but the reason why they got married in the first place is actually to blame Chi-Chi more than Goku.
In chapter #171 of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball, Chi-Chi reminds Goku that when he agreed years ago that he would “come and take” her hand if and when Chi-Chi’s father gave it. for him, he promised to marry her. . Goku mentions that at the time he thought Chi-Chi meant her father would give him food, he couldn’t argue since he promised, and then concludes that they’d better end it kiss.
Could Chi-Chi really be a worse partner than Goku in Dragon Ball?
Chi-Chi is basically a trick and uses Goku’s ignorance of society to get him to agree to marry her. At the time, Chi-Chi just thought that Goku was playing innocently, since she was still just a kid. However, at this point, Goku’s extreme bewilderment should have warned her, a now grown woman, of his unique situation. During Goku and Chi-Chi’s Tenkaichi tournament match, Chi-Chi clearly hears Goku when he loudly asks Krillin what she meant earlier because she did the stereotypical fall in the anime. This often happens when the sick character cannot believe what they are hearing, often because they are amazed at the incompetence of others or simply out of a general lack of understanding.
Warning bells should be ringing in Chi-Chi’s head thanks to Goku’s completely innocent behavior, even as he says, “Okay! We’d better get married!” If anything, Chi-Chi should ask if he still wants to get married regardless of what he promised as a kid. While this places more responsibility on Chi-Chi and less on Goku, he is completely oblivious. Just moments later, he misinterprets her hugging him as grabbing, making Chi-Chi feel compelled to tell him that’s what couples do. Also, Chi-Chi is not without understanding what is going on, as the following chapters of Dragon Ball Z and Super will demonstrate.
Chi-Chi still doesn’t deserve to be treated badly by Goku
Even though Chi-Chi basically forced herself to marry Goku (Goku and Chi Chi’s wedding was also the worst episode of Dragon Ball), this doesn’t mean she deserves to be treated like she is. how Goku does it later. She may have tricked herself into marrying the strongest man in the universe, but that doesn’t justify Goku’s behavior. He clearly doesn’t respect her enough as a partner because he went against her wishes by forcing their son Gohan out of school and putting him in dangerous situations. dangerous. He puts all the responsibility of making money on her because he won’t get a real job. Furthermore, he leaves her for months, sometimes years, to train. Yes, Chi-Chi is basically forced goku marry her, but she shouldn’t have to deal with the lack of kindness and respect she receives Dragon ball.
