Also I would like to say I think are perception of Chi has been swayed by the anime especially English dub where she was pretty much Goku’s smart foil. In the original Japanese manga… she is dumb. Her and ox are written with a dumb hick quality. Why does she sign up for the tournament because she wants a hunk, she has a son fuck fighting I’m going to be a mother who cares about education… idk anything about it but now it’s what I need to do because I’m a mother now! Again it’s the original Japanese manga I’m talking about. I got all of this from Mr. Fusion from part 3 of his Sayian arc video.

so she's stupid because she understands that having an education can generally get you far in a typical society ???? and she wants her son to have a normal, successful upbringing ??

#snap chats #is this what we do in my inbox now just have dispute every other day LMAO #also just because they're 'hicks' doesnt mean theyre dumb as rocks #AGAIN not the sharpest tools in the shed but no total nimrods #theres a saying in japanese- the Speedrun Version of the phrase being 'tonbi'#tldr 'a kite gives birth to a hawk': someone stereotypically 'less successful/smart' has a kid whos the opposite #i refuse to ever give toriyama writing props but seeing the son family from this angle makes sense for whats up #chichi nor goku grew up in 'proper' families or societies- theres nothing wrong with both of them wanting that for gohan #and i do mean both goku has similarly wanted gohan to be able to study and pursue his passions #hes not as headstrong as chichi is evidently but he still clearly shares that care for his education as she does #despite him also arguably not having that same education #sure there was master roshi but its definitely a far cry from what chichi was giving to gohan #and their lives WERE normal for a SOLID five years her having that expectation is not wack oh my god no im not talking about this again #i legit just argued about this with my friend the other day im over it
