talked about this with a friend on twitter but i have little doubt that goku will probably outlive few of his loved ones due to saiyan biology. at least by a few decades- i don't think even goku can escape old age lol. specifically with chi-chi for example, i'd think he'd mourn her in his own way- but i doubt it'd get to him to completely change him drastically. that's just not goku is, and he lacks that sort of emotional maturity in all honesty. even as an adult. plus, it's not like goku doesn't know what comes after death. he's more than familiar with both heaven and hell, and knows by now that his wife will wait for him no matter what, just like he would for her. death isn't an end for him, but a new beginning, and even in death he'll be reunited with all his loved ones again in heaven.

#ooc ☪#☪ headcanons .#death tw #religion tw #[ ??? idk just in case #just some thoughts i had #it's beautiful in a way in it's simplicity that toriyama envisioned the afterlife #i suppose it's very inlined with some buddist teachings #considering how alot of dragon ball is inspired by chinese culture #so death being nothing more than a new beginning #especially for those who have chosen a righteous path in there life #theres something comforting about it #goku wouldn't fear death at all #even before he knew about what comes after it #now that he knows it's not an end for him nor his family and friends #i think he'd welcome it with open arms when it's finally his time ]
