[up]Because one time while he was in his base form Goku gave Chi-Chi a pat on the back and sent her flying through the wall of their house, through a tree, and into a boulder.

Presumably he got better at controlling his relative power level during the year he spent trying to achieve Full Power Super Saiyan. He didn't seem to be breaking things left and right after getting out.

Yeah... I bet that was a real exercise in self-control.

(It's interesting how some high-end power levels can control their strength. I think I remember Cell taking some time to gauge his own strength against Vegeta, actually punching and kicking, maybe making sure that he didn't shatter the ground with every step. Buu never bothered, nor did Mystic Gohan or Vegito.)

People do not generally have a lot of self-control during orgasm.

Well Chi-chi doesn't seem to be injured at all considering how she picks up the entire TV and swings it around during the Cell Games so evidently Goku does have control.

Then again, Goku had already learned Instant Transmission and knew where to get some Senzu Beans.

Come to think of it, I'm a bit more confused by how things with Bulma and Vegeta worked out. I mean, at least Chi Chi has martial arts training. And Goku's nice and he cares.

But right after Frieza, Vegeta was still honestly kind of evil. Mostly. It seems like the main reason he wasn't murdering everything was that he had nowhere else to go and also a slight fear of reprisal.

Heck, things didn't seem to settle down until after the Buu saga.

But Trunks' conception seems like it would have been really dangerous for our favorite scientist.

Bulma and Vegeta are kinda perfect for each other though. Hell, they both tried to kill Goku when they met him.

...Basically everyone's tried to kill Goku when they met him.

Yeah, that makes less sense. At least Goku would probably consciously try and avoid hurting Chi-chi. Vegeta at that point probably wouldn't have cared.

Isn't Krillin the only old Z-fighter that didn't try to fight Goku at first? Even then they were still rivals.

Like, Bulma tried to shoot him. It didn't work but she didn't know that. Then she tried to seduce him to give up his most prized possession, which still didn't work, but finally she lied to him and manipulated him for a wish he would in no way be the beneficiary of, and didn't mention that he'd lose said most prized possession at the end of their quest.

There's just no getting around that she's kind of evil for a big part of her introduction.

Krillin was a douche, if I remember correctly.

Also, guys....Cowgirl. Just sayin'. It was an option.

I know very well that it's an option. But we're talking about someone that can bench press solar systems. A gentle caress could potentially break Chi-Chi's jaw.

What? No we're not.

Anyway, Trunks showed he was capable of suppressing his power to that of a normal human when he was read by one of Freeza's grunts. Goku should be capable of doing the same (though he probably shouldn't, and instead suppress himself to merely way above a normal human, since Chi Chi is nearly as strong as Roshi).

I thought we were talking about Vegeta.

And I can't wait for the next DBZ movie starring Vegeta.

I don't know if Vegeta can do that either.

Also, how do you lift a Solar System? It's a series of planets and moons that orbit a star in continuous gravitational motion.

If you are as big as the Getter Emperor, you probably could.

Not really.

There's never been evidence that any of the Fighters can destroy anything as big as they can with energy blasts.

While not so, Being able to life or push or benchpress something is similar, and the Goku In GT could barely lift a city and base goku before going super saiyan was restrained by 10 ton weights.

Perhaps that's a metaphor for Goku getting too old to play the hero anymore.

[up][up][up] 10 ton weights on each limb, while flying. So not quite the same thing as simply being unable to lift 40 tons. But yeah, they're certainly not physically strong enough to lift a city, let alone a planet.

I don't want to sound random but I found this and this and this all very funny, primarily because I can totally see all those scenario's happening.
