So people on Twitter were dunking hard on Dragon Ball again today after the latest manga chapter. If you don't know what I mean go see for yourself. So there was some back and forth with people dropping Goku is a bad dad memes and other DB related memery. When I had a thought to start some . So I poured out the gasoline, threw a match called "Goku and Chi-Chi are dysfunctional" and ran like hell to watch it explode from afar.
I'm going to point to two hard facts and one opinion to support my theory. Here we go.....
1.) During the Cell games, Chi-Chi comments that Goku has been a negligent husband during commentary while Gohan is fighting Cell.
2.) During the Goku Black arc, Goku who has been married for approximately 23 years at this point. Admits that he has never kissed Chi-Chi despite having two children with her.
Now as for my opinion based example....
3.) Chi-Chi is such a needy person based upon her personality. How she reintroduced herself to Goku during the 23rd tournament and essentially pressured him to keep his promise to marry her. Her neediness is a turn off for Goku who is a very independent person. It's why he basically just does whatever he wants much to the chagrin of his wife. Every time we see Goku doing anything domestic he looks unhappy. Be that tending the family farm to earn money or simply going grocery shopping for his wife. I get a sense he's being forced to do something by her he doesn't really want to do.
If they weren't an anime couple that is used to comic relief to show Chi-Chi as the bossy wife archetype, I feel they would have been divorced long before Goten was every born. I would love to hear you takes on this.
