[up]

It happens.

The funny about Chi-chi’s name is that I don’t think she even has the largest chest among the female cast. So she doesn’t even have a Meaningful Name.

A weird thing to bring up, I admit. I just found it kinda ironic.

I think her name is supposed to mean "milk", in keeping with Toriyama's food puns.

As I understand it "chi chi" can be a slang term for (breast) milk.

chichi can mean milk but it's also more like breast milk and there are relatively common usages that just use chichi as an alternative or slang word for boobs

i could be wrong, but i seem to remember a 'joke' in the manga where Roshi talked about, and i quote, "chichi's chichis".

she was a kid in her armor bikini at the time, incidentally

in english, i've heard of people using slang terms for boobs like "milkers" or "udders" so, like. it's not exclusive to japanese

The Roshi joke was him noting how ironic it is that Chi-Chi doesn't have chichis, yet Bulma does. Despite Bulma being 16 and Chi-Chi being 11. It wasn't the best written joke ever.

I took Cell saying that Gohan's soft literally too. Abridged Cell definitely feels like the type of person who pays attention to the texture of someone's skin when he's punching them, and it was a line about how good it feels to punch Gohan.

And since he has genetic memory of Goku, he knows exactly how soft Gohan's mother is in a physical sense.

Abridged Goku doesn't even quite like Chichi that way though.

Like how when he compared the weird gross and wet, fat and gross balloon monster in World's Strongest to "getting in there" with her.

When you compare that to how Goku is constantly calling Cell Handsome. TFS Goku seems pretty gay?

I mean, he also said that sex feels really good when Chichi kept "forcing" him to have sex like nine (or more!) times a day.

That line was a not so subtle way of saying "no, Chichi isn't raping Goku" because that was a thing people were worried about, but still, he enjoys sex with Chichi.

I think TFS Goku is bi. They definitely made a point of explicitly spelling out that he was totally willing to bone Chi-Chi as much as possible during those 10 days.

I mean. Just because the sensation of sex is pleasurable and he's able to get it up doesnt technically mean he's actually attracted to her?

Which. Doesnt make it rape either. Consent is consent. Attraction is attraction. Pleasure is pleasure. All different things.

They can all go together. Doesn't mean they have to always.

Well, he's also called Chichi his "hot Asian wife". So he considers her physically attractive, is willing and able to have sex with her, and enjoys said sex.

I get what you're saying but still. Just calling him bi sounds easier.

I mean, there have been closeted gay men that were able to marry women as a cover and at least have a climax in order to secure an heir.

So.

I mean, I could see Goku as bi if not for that bit in World's Strongest about how gross and "eww" and "moist" and "just like with Chichi" the bouncy balloon guy was to Goku.

There is also Goku considering Krillin's proposal for a threesome.

If Krillin wore a wig, he would totally bone him. He said that

That's not what they were talking about. They were talking about Krillin pretending to be Goku to take his place to give his junk a break.

The idea that Chichi wouldn't notice Krillin with a wig is a lot funnier.

I'm confused as to why 16 was able to give Gohan that "The Reason You Suck" Speech. It doesn't feel like they've known each other long enough or shared enough dialogue for 16 to make the points he made:

  • "Before you go on about your father, and again, I get it" - I think the only time Gohan said anything was when Goku tried to "do some math," and when Goku volunteered him to fight Cell. Both of these were understandable complaints and 16's comparing him to Trunks and himself is kind of a dick move.
  • "You act like you're the only one suffering... but I believe Trunks has some stories for you" - Gohan mentions to Krillin that people are dying while the rest of them are spectating. Gohan is aware of other peoples' suffering nor is he putting his suffering above others. At the moment he's merely reacting to the absurdity of the situation he's been put into that he desperately wanted to get out of. Has 16 been around Gohan long enough to notice any moping Gohan might have done.
    • How would 16 even know Trunks well enough to compare him to Gohan? Did Gero's fly robot pick up the whole conversation Trunks had with Goku? Gero didn't know what Super Saiyan was, so I cna't imagine he was somehow able to put information about a boy from an alternate timeline into 16's memory. 16 and Trunks have also never spoken, so the only thing I can see is maybe Bulma told 16 what was going on when she repaired him.

16 makes valid points for us, the audience, but how he came to those conclusions in the past 3-4 episodes that he and Gohan have been in the same location baffles me.

Slight correction on this one, 16's line is "Before you go on about your father again, and I get it". As in referencing Gohan's consistent complaints about his father.

Also 16 was in Bulma's lab for a week. I don't think Trunks was at the lookout the entire time, was he?

I just wanna say the current insistence on Goku's homosexuality because he finds a man attractive, despite having sex multiple times with Chi-Chi and calling her attractive, is bi erasure and I don't much cotton to it.

[up][up][up]Huh, that's an aspect I hadn't thought of.

But really, the whole "Goku finds sex with Chichi icky" thing was one joke. They've since made jokes about how that is not the case.

Yes, the two contradict one another, but that happens sometimes. Actually, given other things (I think) unnoun has said about continuity, I'd figure she'd accept that more readily than most other people would.
