You can't inherit that.

Plus she's a human. No way she'll be useful in a fight anyway.

[up][up] No, Arha's joke. Both of what make Kuririn and 18 strong are things that don't make sense to inherit.

She wouldn't inherit his training, but she would inherit his Ki. Dad's life force mixing with mom's to create a new life force, that's how babies are made.

We actually don't know if that's how it is meant to work. It hasn't come up with Earthlings before, except Saiyan-Earthling hybrids who have a specific reason for being born strong.

still can't believe super went and made the Androids even more humanity-friendly than they were before and didn't just have Bulma learn to upgrade the Earthlings with Gero's nanotech instead of giving them unexplained power-ups.

Can't be helped. Outside of 16, there's little left of Gero's tech for Bulma to study.

The Z warriors kept destroy it to the last scrap.

Hell, I've brought up the idea of Bulma using Gero's tech to create some new stuff for Earth...

POWERED ARMOUR!!!!

<Everyone groans>

That's right. Bringing it up again. That being said, I recall someone saying that she was completely incapable of understanding Gero's tech beyond her work with 17 (I think it might have been you Saiga) which was probably done by Toriyama to prevent that very idea.

Anyway, not quite to bring back the Goku debate, is it me, or is Goku probably a much worse husband than he is a dad?

Like. He's shown spending a lot more time with Gohan and Goten than he is with Chichi? And his interactions with Chichi are.

Like, not that her end of the dynamic is healthy or good. But he does kinda just blow her off a bunch and ignore her and not. Even try. To communicate.

Yeah, but Chichi's not nearly as important as Gohan (or even Goten) so people don't bring it up as often. I'm sure most people think it, and there's a much stronger case to be made there in my opinion, but it's just not something most people care about.

Well, unless they're specifically on an anti-Goku bent. Not to say that's what every criticism of Goku amounts to but, well, I think going "Man, Goku sucks" is pretty popular in some circles.

No, not powered armour, that'd be dumb.

What's better than powered armour is having that power. The Android concept is simply superior and already established - it's such a no-brainer to have her use that and say that it took a long time for her to understand it.

" the fact that Gohan already ''knew' he was stronger than Goku, he was just in denial about it."

Just a thing here, If I remenber well in the episode were he fight with gohan he tell Cell he know he is stronger than him to which Cell start beating the crap of him in order to draw is power....

Oh god, this is mind field of jokes, dosent it?

"It's a very "Hank Hill fails to understand Bobby's hobbies" moment. But more lethal. "

Ok, sorry but I just like the idea of Goku having a emocional moment realizing he didnt understand gohan while Cell just beat the shit out of him, that need to be in the showevil grin

Goku's deal is he treats everyone like they're his pal, including his enemies (the ones who don't cross a Moral Event Horizon, anyway), as well as his wife and son. The way Goku interacts with Chi Chi or Gohan isn't substantially different from how he interacts with Bulma or Krillin, and he doesn't seem to get that, as a husband and father, a slightly different sort of relationship may be expected.

I don't feel too bad for Chi Chi, though. Yeah, Goku is in no way a good husband, but considering the way they got married, with Chi Chi relentlessly pursuing Goku to make him fulfill a promise he made to marry her when they were kids, even though, not only hadn't they seen each other in years, but Goku didn't even know what marriage was . . . yeah, Chi Chi's reaped what she's sown.
