What the hell is Chi Chi spending all this money they keep getting on? They keep gaining a LOT of money and we know Goku can hunt for food on his own/fine living off the land. She has control of the finances, so how exactly does she keep burning through money?

Well she's saving it up Goten's college fund at this point & maybe his high-school fund if he stays home-schooled like Gohan.

She's actually lying about running out of money. Their still plenty rich, she's just saying their not to force Goku to work.

....... Isn't that financial abuse?

[up][up][up] Later episodes of Super revealed she lied to Goku about that, and is saving the money.

Which is even worse because that means she has:

a) hoarded the money that Goku brought in
b) lied to Goku about it
c) in order to deny him what he wants and control him

Super Chi-Chi is an outright deplorable person.

Goku wasn't going to use that money for anything. Honestly, I feel bad for Chi-Chi. Teaching your husband in his 40s about adult responsibilities can't be easy, especially when he's being a bad influence on your two children.

Yeah, actually, he was going to use it to support his family so he could follow his passions. It's 100 million zeni.

They've never had that kind of money, and didn't need it for Gohan, so Chi-Chi has no excuse hoarding that. And I can't believe you're brushing off that she lied about it in order to get him to do what SHE wanted for him over what his passion is, especially when she doesn't work for herself.

I don't feel for her at all. Goku's more responsible than she is, even with his difficulties. And she's certainly a worse influence at that.

No, she's using it to support her family. Goku doesn't do shit except for farm and train. Chi-Chi's the one who handles the finances in their house. She's not hoarding it, she just didn't spend it all at once like she told Goku. If Goku didn't think that money was a problem, he would either not bother doing work or he'd leave them to go train.

#29187: Jan 6th 2018 at 11:15:22 PM

Completely refuted by the fact that they didn't need 100 million to support Gohan. Chi-Chi indicated in the Boo arc that 10 million was a ridiculous sum of money and would handle Gohan's education by itself.

On top of that, if she TRULY needed the 100 million and more from Goku's farm, then she doesn't need to lie. She can just tell him 100 million isn't enough, just like how she told him he needed to farm in the first place and he still did it.

Also, at any point of this, she could actually get a fucking job.

Why should he bother working if they don't actually need the money? That's the entire reason for working unless you also happen to love what you're job which is most certainly not the case for Goku and farming.

Ya think they could come up with a funner job.

Chi-Chi's not as smart as she thinks if she can't propose a fun job for the strongest man in the world.

Chi chi in Z was already a pretty bad person. Causing domestic incidents loud enough that the cops would have been called if they were in the city.

Mistreating and borderline abusing only the first born son then proceeding to lay off that for their second born son and showing extreme favoritism as well as some other things.

Even if Goku didn't know what he was consenting to at the start, it has been years and he has had chances to learn and still takes advantage. Anywhere else he'd be a deadbeat dad, he just happens to be the protagonist of a shonen manga. So yeah, the fact that a real world person absolves him of guilt and puts it all on her seems fucked up to me.

I haven't absolved him of guilt. I have made two statements:

  1. Goku is a shitty husband and father.
  2. The fact that Goku is Chi-Chi's husband and the father of her children is entirely her fault; Goku barely even had any idea what he was agreeing to.

I don't consider him a shitty father and it's hard to call him a shitty husband when he didn't want to get married. He has no obligation to Chi-Chi who has basically taken advantage of him.

Even then, there's no real sign that he's been shitty to her. She has unreasonable expectations of him.

I'm not going to pretend that Goku is a particularly good father (though I maintain that many of the things people use to cast him in the light as a shitty one are frankly unreasonable given the actual context of the series and circumstances), but I'm also not going to pretend that Chi-chi is a particularly good mother or wife, or that her issues aren't largely self-inflicted.

Tobias and Wander both seem to be arguing for the first part about her, while disagreeing on the latter.

Her reaction to Goku's leaving to train with Whis still confuses me though. I guess they were trying to have a Heartwarming moment, but it makes her seem bipolar.

Like I said before Saiga I don't think she can get many clients at a fucking job at her age. Do prostitutes usually have grandchildren?

[up][up][up] I definitely thought there was something wrong with her at that moment. She seems rather unstable.

[up] Actually she still looks pretty good with her hair down so maybe if she presents herself better. tongue

Also yes I think some do have grand-kids.

She is yelling at either Goku or Gohan like 75% of her appearances in Z up until the end of Cell saga. And constantly being a slave driver to Gohan. Come Buu saga she just does not care and is teaching Goten how to fight and basically crafting a mini-Goku.

It is a cultural thing as in the east the first born is the one that absolutely must succeed but is still really bad.
