    One thing ChiChi doesn’t get enough credit for is supporting her kids based on their individual interests. Gohan was mild-mannered and wanted to be a scholar, so she encouraged him to study and didn’t want him getting involved in fighting because she knows he hates it. Goten, on the other hand, wanted to learn to fight, so ChiChi trained him. Her training may have even been the reason Goten was able to turn into a Super Saiyan such a young age

      As someone who has been to therapy, you should know that perspective is a matter of choice. Like how Gohan chooses to focus on how dedicated & hard working Chichi is, instead of how shrill & naysaying she can be. Which is probably why he still has such love & respect for her as an adult/parent.

      The main thing I understood from Chi-Chi is that... she doesn't really understand the threats.
      It's even worse because she can't read Ki either.
      To Chi-Chi, she can't comprehend the gap between a Raditz and a Majin Buu, to her they're more or less the same.
      If they think their man is strong, that's enough for them, they aren't out to understand power gaps
      Women don't have this priority in logic, their interests are other things.
      And no matter what you do, you will never get them to understand it either. We guys don't understand some of what they're into either if that puts it to perspective.
      And I say this from experience-- like my sisters would watch Inuyasha, and the power gaps were ridiculously huge between say, Inuyasha and Naraku, or Sesshoumaru, or etc.
      They don't care about that, they just want to see their husbando on screen, and if they think they'll win, they'll win just because they're their favorite. That's how they view the world.
      It's funny because Kishimoto even understood this too, and showed it in Sakura's personality as an example. Whenever Sasuke was about to get his ass beat, Sakura never viewed it like that, she just had full confidence he'd win because "he's dreamy, he'll find a way"
      Guys, that pisses me off when they think like that, but that's the world we live in.

      The whole disagreement came from Gohan seeing Piccolo die to save him, and Chi Chi having only known Piccolo as Demon King Piccolo, a legitimate threat that was willing to take over the world. Gohan knew he would be facing immense danger and was scared of both his mom and the task, but his heart told him he could not live knowing he didn't do everything he could for someone that would do the same for him. It took real courage for him to put his foot down and go anyway. Courage that he would need for the future.

    Something that I think TFS did right when it came to Chi-Chi's portrayal, despite the jokes(because it is a parody), they showcased that Chi-Chi was a force to be reckoned with. Or, at least it was implied, considering she was the only person EVERYONE feared. Say what you want about Super Saiyans or whatnot, there is nothing angrier than a pissed off mom trying to protect her family and the crew in TFS knew that.

    Chi Chi is a great person. She may be very strict and she may be annoying or unreasonable at times(I don't know much about parenting, so what do I know?), but she is a very caring mother and a supporting wife. She never held Gohan back. Gohan was genuinely interested in becoming a scholar and he enjoyed studying. Chi Chi is a very funny and important character and is similar to Bulma in some ways. Something that is often overlooked is that Chi Chi was the strongest woman in the world before Android 18 was turned into a human.

    @MasterLee2011 2 роки тому +27

    Hey Saiyan Scholar, I also agree with you that I think it's unfair that the fandom gives her a lot of flak just because she didn't want Gohan to fight. She is a mother after all, so it makes sense that she doesn't want her child to get hurt. I love Chi-chi, it's just the only times were Chi-chi truly pissed me off was both in Super. One was when she didn't want Goku to train with Whis so that Goku can spend more time with Pan, which would essentially screw them over in the Frieza fight. At this point, Goku has a job as a radish farmer, and I mean sure it probably doesn't pay that much but at least he's contributing financially. Goku also loves his family and is willing to protect them by training and becoming stronger to prepare for the next threat. It also didn't help that he got clapped by Beerus at the end before this scene. Goku also make compromises too. That's why he let Gohan be a scholar, even though he probably wants Gohan to be a fighter like himself, and he spends enough time with his family as he can. He loves them, he loves Pan too. I feel there's nothing's wrong with Goku having a balance life of training, working, and family, he earned it. It's just Chi-chi was really unreasonable in this instance. Gohan gave her a legitimate reason why it's important for Goku to train with Whis, but she still wouldn't budge, and it's sad that a child like Goten was also the voice of reason. Still, she wouldn't budge. And number two was when she bogard the decision-making regarding Pan's future whether or not she wants to be a martial artist when she grows up. She didn't even want Gohan to make a decision on Pan's future and that's the girl's own father. 😤 I mean I agree with her that Gohan and Mr. Satan shouldn't play rough with Pan giving the fact that she's still a baby, saiyan genes or no, I just feel that she went too far, especially locking herself, Pan, and Videl in a room where Gohan and Mr. Satan couldn't get to them. At the end of the day, it should be between Gohan and Videl on how they want to raise Pan.

    ChiChi has had a rough life. Her son was kidnapped by Raditz, her husband was killed by Piccolo while he was fighting Raditz, her son was then kidnapped by Piccolo for a whole year, then more aliens attacked, her husband came back to life only to be hospitalized by one of those aliens. Her son was also hospitalized by said alien. And then her husband and son went off into space for a good long time, her husband was presumed dead for a while, and then came the warning about killer robots. For three years, she had to look over her shoulder, worrying about when said robots might attack. And then, her husband (he’s back btw) fell deathly ill. And then, the monster called Cell appeared, beat up her son, and killed her husband! Again! And he stayed dead for seven years this time. She had to be a single mother to her two children for seven years. Not to mention the fact that she missed another year of her son’s life while he was in the time chamber. And then, she got eaten by some pink monster. And then her sons were absorbed into said monster. And then her husband became a antisocial martial artist who spent all his time training, and then he left her to go train some kid for five or ten or how ever many years. And then her husband was turned into a child! Let’s not forget the whole magic water thing where she was mind controlled and turned against her family and friends. Her son got beat up that time too. ChiChi didn’t deserve any of that.

      The hate she gets is because by acting that way, she shows to everyone that she doesn't care if the world gets destroyed as long as Gohan gets a career...which in the context of Dragon Ball, it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. What good will having a career and being smart in science in a world that is destroyed do to Gohan? Doesn't help that in the anime she said EXACTLY THAT.
      And Super made her worst: Beerus can destroy the world if he wants, and only Goku and Vegeta could even pose a defense. And what does she does? Orders Goku to not train, and be a farmer. Woman, the God of Destruction could end the whole world, with your sons in them, and you refuse to let your husband, the one who could protect you all, train to become stronger? If she wanted a normal life, why the hell did she married Goku in the first place?

    Chi-Chi's treatmeant in DBZ (especially) and DBS was always so bad. To play her off as the nagging wife was always annoying. She clearly wanted the best for her kids and tried her best, her main fault is that she's an extreme helicopter parent. But with a husband like Goku you can't blame her for going overboard, because Goku wasn't helping. And honestly if you look at Gohan now, she did a great job and deserves credit for Gohan being well-adjusted (and Gohan knowing what a healthy romantic relationship is, because his dad never kissed his mum)
    As for the excuse that Gohan was needed in certain fights. If the adults weren't so stupid and reckless, most fights post-Freiza would have ended early without the need for his help.

Goku didn't even know his second son was born. During the Buu Saga Goku chose to save Hercule & Dende over his own kids which even Vegeta thought that was absurdly stupid.

    Like, I think the biggest fault of Chi Chi is that she didn't divorce Goku. Granted, Goku has a job in Super, but that only sometimes is true. For Kami's sake, Goku is a good person in heart, but a terrible dad and husband (at least in Super). He has issues in Z, too, but at least in Z he had some self awareness about stuff and tried to correct his mistakes, and didn't have as much of a choice in most of Z anyways. He did still think of people in Z and make choices and sacrifices that were actually quite human in Z and Classic Dragonball. He gave up his Dragonball to Upa to revive Bora. He thought staying dead was better after Cell dies (it was a mistake but one based with historical accuracy) and believed in the next generation much like Roshi did with Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Goku previously, and sort of like Chi Chi does in her own way. Goku believed the next gen should have fighters to defend, and Chi Chi wants more cerebral futures for the next generation. Gohan is a blend of both sensibilities, even if the writing struggles to have that part shine. Goku was of course poorly prepared for the world since the first episode of Dragonball ever, so his animalistic tendencies didn't ever truly fade. He bites his foes often. The issue with Goku is that while he has improved overall, his mental growth is stunted in everything except fighting (reversed even further in some of Super... Even Early Dragonball Goku wasn't as ignorant as some of Super Goku.

    While I don't think Chi Chi could have kept up as a fighter (Goku knocked her out with the wind of a punch he really held back on, and even said he should have held back more), it would be nice to see her have more of an active role in the story. The problem is that Dragon Ball only concerns itself with fighting, and only people who can contribute to said fighting get to be part of anything. The only reason Bulma's still around is because she can make machines that facilitate more fighting; Chi Chi's only skill besides fighting is being able to manage a three-Saiyan household (which is dedinitely impressive, but not relevant to the aforementioned fighting), so for as much as we all want her and the other OG characters to make a resurgence, it's almost certainly not going to happen.

We know now more than ever that if Toriyama wanted to her could easily have the undervalued characters get expanded abilities. For example have someone wish on the dragonballs that some of the human Z fighters gain the capacity to hold their own in a battle against alien threats! (The capacity to do so at least so they could very well learn and become much stronger) Why not? Get them plot relevant rather than being background characters.

    I don’t understand for the life of me how ever other girl in this series has been given so much attention and love except for chi chi. Like why? GT shower chi chi can be even more hot than Bulma. Not just that but that women has more patience than whis to deal with gokus antics for all these years and still adore him. Bulma and 18 always get the spotlight and even new females like cheelai, it’s time chi chi gets some love to poor women apparently never even kissed her husband but had 2 kids with him 💀.

    I fucking love Chichi! I don't blame her for getting mad about Gohan fighting. Before Goten was born, Gohan was her only child and she wanted him to be safe. She wanted him to have a safe wellbeing just like any other parent would want for their children.

    Thank you for this video. I think understanding Chichi requires some growing up and some putting ourselves in her shoes for a moment to see that she isn't the monster everyone thinks she is. I'm also proud of being her fan, and now I've become yours as well. Keep up the good job! Your videos are very good!

    Chi-chi is more of a character that while not a bad person and certainly isn’t a bad mom her general personality and view on certain things in the show comes off very strange. Chi chi isn’t wrong that her sons need to be educated and that you need to be a more well rounded individual to succeed in life , the problem is that the Dragon ball universe isn’t realistic in the slightest my beef with her in the past was that she placed more importance in education vs the fate of the universe which simply is baffling to think about

    I'm admittedly only a casual watcher, who would sit down to watch an episode whenever I happened to see one on, but never really go out looking for them. But Chichi was always the character I was most excited to see on screen, ever since I was little. It was actually really surprising to me when I grew up and realized that there were people out there who didn't like her. And I was delighted to find this video. Thank you for making it!

    25:24 Goku lacks the emotional capacity to make the choice to do otherwise. Toriyama decided to go the other way from what most writers would do when they have alien protagonists, making them the most human as if biology plays no role in personal development whatsoever.
    Vegeta is from the royal bloodline so he has an emotional range closer to that of a standard human. What makes Broly the true Super Saiyan is that he has hyper active capacity for interpersonal relationships of the sort that the lead character himself does not have access to. To him, his father was actually a father, not just a sperm donor who watched him grow in a tank.

    I suppose that I never shared in this contempt for Chi-Chi since I got into the series as an adult watching it along with the children that I looked after. I was more of the sort who laughed at how comically inept Goku was as a father and how Chi-Chi was the only one holding their family together (and that is before Toriyama gave everyone greater context to Goku's lack of parenting skills that come from his literally not understanding the Earthling concept of Family).
    Chi-Chi helped to ground the series a bit with someone who behaved more or less like a real person would in her circumstances even if played up for comedy.

  • @MisterRorschach90

    Chichi is god tier woman. A woman capable of doing almost anything she wants on earth but just chooses to raise her family and live a simple life. All while being a babe. A babe that is married to one of the strongest beings in the universe, and birthed another one.

    Chi Chi is quite the fiery and determined character! Chi Chi is known for her strong-willed personality and her desire for her son, Gohan, to focus on his studies rather than training. While her overbearing nature can be frustrating at times, it’s clear that she deeply cares for her family and wants the best for them. Chi Chi’s martial arts skills and her ability to hold her own in battles show that she’s not to be underestimated. I respect her strength and her role in the Dragon Ball universe. 💥👩‍👦✨

    @TH-li7lj 2 роки тому +7

    I remember as a kid, I used to hate Chi-Chi and blame her for why Gohan was scared during the Saiyan arc and not more like kid Goku. But after watching OG Dragon Ball into Dragon Ball Z, Gohan being scared had nothing to do with her.
    Kid Goku had training from grandpa Gohan, Roshi, Korin and Kami before facing his first world threatening villain. Not to mention the wealth of experienced he gained from fighting the smaller villains.
    Gohan had six months of training from Piccolo before facing off against two guys who could blow up planets with no problem. There was no way he would be ready in time. Honestly, every-time Gohan got trained it was rushed and in a time crunch. If anything it was the people who trained him that failed him more than Chi-Chi.

    I can see why people would hate Chi-Chi, and even I have some issues with her not for being an over protective mother but for just being so stupid for never being able to see anything outside of Gohan becoming a scholar and honestly being very hypocritical. as many people have pointed out in other Chi-Chi videos, how can Gohan become a great scholar of the world if there is no world? Trunks came back and warned them that earth was a virutal dead planet in his time with only a few thousands humans left. wasn't it obvious the world wouldn't need any great scholars? even then at first she was completly against Gohan training to stop that future from happening. She was also hypocritical in the Buu saga. She had always preeched nothing was more important then Gohan studying and not wanting him to become a muscle head like Goku and only surviving off of Tournament Prize money but then when her dads money was running out she was totally on board with him stopping his studying and going out and winning tournament prize money. Chi-Chi has a very diverse skill set and could easily get a stable job but nope she'd rather fill the sterotype of stay at home mom despite the fact both her sons are more then capable of looking after themshelves while she would work, then she has the nerve to get on Goku's case for not having a job and supporting his family

    • @digitaladventurer2142
      @digitaladventurer2142 Рік тому +1

      @BunBun By the time of Buu Gohan is already going to school on his own and we all know Goten is more the capable of taking care of himself but worse case scenario he could just go to Bulma's to hang out with Trunks while Chi-Chi worked. Plenty of parent's do that kind of thing, and honestly why not send Goten to school too then she could work while both her son's are out. If it was such a huge deal for Gohan to study and become a scholar why not Goten? Answer is by that point the Son family was running out of money and Chi-Chi didn't wanna have to get a job, again literally first 3 sagas while they had Ox King to support them she was all about Gohan needing to study no matter what but once money became an issue she's perfectly fine with going back on all that.
