I'm fairly confident you are putting a lot more thought into this than Toriyama did.

[up][up] Fine, fine Chi-Chi comes from a culture where kissing is gross we get it. tongue

Ya know considering he had Roshi for a master & father figure while Krillen is like a brother to him its even more illogical he doesn't know shit about kissing. [lol]

Probably, I just dont think it is THAT weird. Kissing is not the be all end all, there are many other ways to show affection. Also actually showing affection or even foreplay isn't everything in a relationship as well.

(though I swear that she kissed him on the cheek late in Dragon Ball)
Actually yeah Chi Chi did kiss him on the cheek in the anime Goku didnt get it then too, glancing through my mangas I do not see the peck in the manga. I might have missed it though.

Anime Chi Chi did adapt to Goku's ways then.

I don't think anyone said it was the "be all, end all" in a relationship, but it was supposed to be considered strange in the universe, so going "some cultures consider it gross" doesn't really add much.

Goku isn't from a culture that finds kissing weird, he was just isolated from civilization for a while; expecting him to pick up on basic little things like that isn't strange.

You dont need to kiss to have sex. Many cultures in South America and central Africa do not kiss at all, ever, they find it gross and many languages do not even have a word for it.

I legitimately didn't know that.

Welp...

...But others also answered on the not kissing thing. Goku is ignorant, but I find it hard to believe he never learned about kissing at all. So I still call Shenanigans.

Again he lived with Roshi & Krillen.

In retrospect it makes even less sense since I'm sure those two would have taught him some stuff.

Then again Roshi may be a great martial arts master but he is not one you would go to for advice on woman, heheh. tongue

Anime Goku kissed Chi Chi on the lips, she didn't adapt to shit.

Anyway, they didn't kiss in the manga, but it's still silly that she somehow talked him into sex but never talked him into one kiss? It's quite a stretch, and there's no evidence to indicate that she comes from such a culture that looks down on kissing.

[up][up][up][up] I was just saying that it isn't an inherent to kiss. Its something that needs to be nurtured to develop hence caveman Goku didn't get it.

Chi Chi either never pushed it or did not like it herself. Chi Chi might have just gone 'I want a kid lets have sex', which Goku might have gotten, it would line up with what we know about lower class Saiyans' and is a thing in quite a few RL cultures and relationships as well.

Vegeta however has either adapted to it or it was already a thing before as upper class Saiyans do seem to have a culture that values family and relationships.

In hindsight, given how similar Broccoli and Cauliflower are to each other, I'm surprised more people didn't guess it.

It also seems like she's Cabba's younger sister.

Edit:

Sorry, i was wrong.

She's actually Renso's sister, not Cabba's.

I expect a lot of fanart of her, probably crossovers with Eromanga Sensei too.

[up](x3) Girl Broly err...Cauliflowa has a reasonably-sized fanart base from her old design on Deviant Art, Pixiv, and Twitter (especially if you need some easy clickbait thumbnails). Heck, this power-up animation was made within the same week of the Universal Survival Arc trailer. Not that I would investigate such things...

Cauliflowa is Renzo's sister, not Cabba's.
