No, she won't let Goku train, because she wants him to stop being a deadbeat and actually get a job. Last I checked she's never said anything about Goten being allowed to train.

Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!

Yes she has. Several times she's mentioned that he needs to study instead of training.

They are completely ignoring the Boo arc establishing her mellowing out and accepting the training.

  • @LSBK: Same, except when Troopers calling out their signatures. I was really expecting "Flash" to come right out after Toppo uttered "Justice" towards poor Cabba.

  • Speaking of, as punishment for taking out Nigrisshi so early, Cabba's either in a void of offscreen limbo, or getting shafted on-screen at the moment. With a supposed Saiyan-focused episode coming up, and the special before that, I'm hoping he gets some more spotlight and the arbitrary U6 Saiyan trio team-up out of the way.

  • Responding to this: I don't know what you guys are talking about, trying to roast the poor former emperor's androgynous design with your youthful ignorance.

     Episode 108 Impressions 
Overall, it was okay as a result of Freeza's infamous charisma shining through. However, it lacked some of the convincing tension from last week's Frost spotlight (Frost's sudden erasure aside, for instance).

  • I thought Freeza's plan was a little sloppy, which even he acknowledged when he outright admitted he could have killed Gohan and blatantly spouted contradicting tips to Frost. I'll give Cabba this, at least he got over his senpai mode once the tourney started.

  • Poor Gohan though (quick-witted to Freeza's plan aside); should have played Xenoverse 2 to counter-act Jimeze's IT spamming (Freeza got the memo). At this point, the guy's emotionally and physically battered while there's still 30-ish minutes left.

  • Apparently, I wasn't the only one expecting Frost to pull out a Cooler-esque final form design when Freeza asked him to go full power. wild mass guessConsidering how this tournament is bringing out an hodge-podge of Mythology Gags to the franchise's history (including non-canon elements, like that Tuffle-lookalike), I wouldn't be too surprised.wild mass guess

     Impressions about Oct 7th's two-parter preview: 
  • Any theories on how Goku's going to obtain the Spirit Bomb? Unless I'm mistaken, I'm wagering that the Android twins will provide the majority of its power to lessen the risk of screwing Universe 7's precious stamina.

  • Really interested seeing more of the close connection between Belmod and Jiren, much like how Frost and Champa's deal was made. If we're keeping the superhero comparison, I really liked Belmod's Joker-equse mugging smile against Jiren's stoic stare.

  • I can't wait until the fight against Jiren devolves into this.

I remember the beginning of the arc, Goten wanted to train with Goku but she vetoed that shit real quick.

I wouldn't be surprised if Super Goku forgot that Goten exists.

Well, Goten's growing older, he can't just be playing around like he used to. He has responsibilities now, like school.

And Chichi was okay with Gohan taking a break from studying to train.

If she hadn't been a complete moron and immediately spent all of Goku's money there'd be no issue.

But she didn't. She said in a later episode that she lied about that to motivate Goku to keep working.

She took his money, then lied about what happened so he'd do something he doesn't want to to make more money when it's completely unnessecary.

That's just completely awful. She's now taking advantage of his naievety and getting in the way of his happiness.

Mr. Satan is probably like the second richest person in the world. There's no need to worry about money for college.

And that's ignoring whatever job Gohan or Videl (pfft) get to pay for it themselves.

#64843: Sep 24th 2017 at 7:09:16 PM

[up]x4 Yes it is. 1/10th of what Goku received would have been more than enough to cover Gohan, per the Boo arc.

[up]x2 He received that money because he saved the damn world because of his training. He should damn well be allowed to continue doing it.

Wait considering the mass amount of money they got from Satan then shouldn't they be able to live off the interest?

Also couldn't they use it to buy stocks like in Capsule Corps?

Bulma & Satan could help them stay rich.

Chi-Chi and Goku are dumb. They probably would think investing in the stock market had something to do with preparing soup.

I can't believe they actually made the old "Goku and Chichi have a terrible marriage" meme canon. That's like the lowest-hanging fruit there is. Wasn't it stated he missed both his sons' births recently? Like I know he was dead for Goten, but Gohan too?

I mean, you don't have to take things that far to think that Goku and Chichi's marriage is terrible.

It does seem like they're intentionally exasperating how little interests he actually has in his family or friends though.

There marriage looked pretty decent at the beginning of Z.

I mean Chi-Chi's actions at the end of the Saiyan Saga aside.

The marriage was dumb in the first place now that I think about it. You can say Chi-chi is awful, or that Goku wouldn't be a very responsible dad (and both sides would probably be a bit right), but considering why they are married in the first place, I'm just gonna throw my hands up on the entire thing.
