*** [[spoiler: His inability to comprehend financial stressed can be partially justified in that he spent most of his childhood living off the land, so he never had a reason to care about money in the first place. Chichi, however, isn't interested in this kind of lifestyle, and has to convince him to become a farmer]].

*** [[spoiler: His relationship with Gohan can be seen as somewhat shallow by human standards, as it never crossed his mind that his son might not love fighting as much as him. As such, Piccolo [[WhatTheHellHero chews him out]] for believing the boy would want to fight Cell at full power]].
*** The irony in all this is that [[spoiler: Vegeta, who played this trope straight until his HeelFaceTurn, ends up becoming a ''better'' and husband and father than Goku, who is baffled as to why he would turn down an offer to train with him in order to be present at his daughter's birth]].
*** [[spoiler: During the Tournament of Power, Goku is unable to grasp the horror that's going through everyone's minds is that this is more of a fight for survival. It never even occurs to him how the people he cares about in his own universe would react to this news. It's no wonder that after it's all over, Beerus, a god of destruction, [[WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain goes to great lengths]] to ensure Goku doesn't try asking for ''another'' tournament]].

%%* Gozaburo Kaiba, The Spirit of the Millennium Ring, and Dark Marik -- who's little more than the human equivalent of a rabid dog -- epitomise this in the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' verse.

to:

%%* Gozaburo Kaiba, The Spirit * ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
** [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba]]
*** Pre-HeelFaceTurn of course, but also later, occasionally. One
of the Millennium Ring, worst examples was during Battle City, where he was more concerned with continuing his tournament and Dark Marik -- who's gathering the God Cards than getting help for the seriously injured contestants. Further, after Amelda tells his story about how he lost his little more than brother to Gozaburo's weapons, Kaiba's only response is to give him a ReasonYouSuckSpeech about even ''letting'' that happen, and assert that in his situation he would have saved Mokuba.
*** In
the human equivalent of dub, he has a rabid dog -- epitomise this KickTheDog moment ''towards his past incarnate''. While he's stuck in the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' verse.past, he firmly believes it's all a dream, but Atem points out to trying telling that to Priest Seto while he's mourning Kisara. But Kaiba coldly asks Atem if he's ''suppose'' to feel bad because a guy who looked like him had just lost his girlfriend.

** One of the most unusual examples of this trope comes from none other than [[spoiler: ''Goku himself''. While he does genuinely care for his friends and family, he desire for a [[ChallengeSeeker good]] [[BloodKnight fight]] tends to make him oblivious to the grief he causes them. Examples include spending all of his time training instead of trying to financially support his wife and son, not realizing that his son doesn't enjoy fighting, and his inability to comprehend that the people who know about the Tournament of Power see it as a fight for survival]].
