Fact: King Cold have his son his own galaxy spanning empire to rule.

What's Goku ever given Gohan or Goten or Vegeta ever given Trunks that can top that? tongue

You know, something I don't think that ever really gets pointed out: the reason Piccolo becomes good is because of Gohan's inherent goodness.

Goodness that he inherited from his parents due to how they raised him.

The whole reason the "Piccolo is a good dad" meme exists is because of Goku in the first place.

Man

I don't think there's anyone that knows less about Dragon Ball while insisting they know the most about Dragon Ball than TFS.

Gohan inheriting his merciful nature and pure heart from Goku is something Super at least has pointed out. Not sure how many people actually like it.

I mean, Vegeta actually does care about his family now; see his reaction to Bulma getting slapped, his interactions with Future Trunks compared to the interactions with him in the Android Saga, and everything involving Bra at this point.

Caring and being good in the role are not the same thing. I'm not denying Vegeta cares about them.

Considering after the Battle of gods arc he just disappered for apprently a long stretch of time to mope about Goku being stronger again.

Dude can't even be bothered to drop by once in a while to say hi.

When Goku left at the end of the manga, he said he'd drop by every now and then to say "Hi."

[up] Alright then that's good.

Seriously its something that annoys me. When Vegeta left to train with Whis Bulma states that she has not seen him for months. What makes this awful is that we know Whis makes regular trips back to Earth meaning Vegeta has opportunities to see his family again. He can't be bothered to just say hi once & a while which is all Bulma asks of him in return for devoting his life to nothing but exercising.

I mean.

In fairness, I think it's probably accurate to say Goku's not been an especially great father to Goten.

Not knowing your seven year old child exists isn't great.

Really depends on the person you're talking to.

#59095: Jun 18th 2017 at 6:23:28 PM

I mean, dragon balls exist, and the Namekians owe Goku so many favors it's not funny.

Also, the more pressing concern is that Goku is seemingly surprised by Goten and doesn't recognize him, but thinks it's just "a little me" hiding behind Chichi. I'm pretty sure the dead being able to watch the living is a thing, what with all the crystal balls. And telepathic gods.

I guess King Kai never bothered to tell Goku "Yo you got a new son".

I mean, he could have also just let them bring him back to life, or even use King Kai to talk to his family, you know, like he did when he somehow heard about the World Martial Arts Tournament and said he was going to enter. Like, it took him seven years for him to actually think to use King Kai to talk to them, and it's just to tell them that he was coming back for a day to fight.

I mean, he could have asked how they were doing. Apparently he didn't. Or accepted single-word answers.

Like, I'm not saying it's the worst parenting ever, but. It's not the best either.

I mean he had an actual reason, faulty as it might seem, for staying dead. As for why either wasn't informed never tried to keep up with his family's status...you got me.

Goku seems like the type to be satisfied with an "They're doing okay" answer without going into all the specifics.

Vegeta's still kind of a tool, but Bulma doesn't seem to mind too much.

I mean, grumpily going along with family occurrences but still showing affection to his family is better than callously leaving them to get blown up by a homicidal geriatric robot.
