It still boggles my mind how Toriyama decided to pair Goku up with Chichi instead of Bulma.
Goku and Chichi simply aren't compatible. Bulma gets along with him much better.
Come on, Bulma is supposed to be older and shit. Even if Toriyama had already planned to make him an alien it would turn out to be creepy for Gokuu and Bulma ending up together, a "childhood" love interest seemed more appropriate, and it's actually not that important Toriyama can't write romance at all.
>>134501320
>childhood love interest
>goku ever being interested in chichi
>>134501417
But she is interested in Gokuu.
>>134501417
It makes more sense for Goku to have been with Bulma than Chi-Chi from an authors standpoint. After all the adventures they've been on, the viewer would expect them to have a deep understanding for each other that could turn into love. Obviously when Goku grew older Bulma recognized how sexy the bastard was. Chichi was only still around because Akira wanted to force himself to keep drawing her.
>>134501224
Yes she gets along with him much better than Chichi. Problem here is Chichi asked first. Goku didn'r really understand the concept of love or marriage when he married Chichi, he probably would've married Bulma if one would've explained to him "you have to marry the person you like the most. No Goku not Kuririn, I meant the female person. Yes there will be food afterwards."
>>134501494
It makes more sense to me that they would become close friends through the end because of Gokuu's nature. Bulma not ending up with Yamcha was a weird decision instead, but somehow simply explained.
>>134501601
>close friends
Bulma is a slutty girl and Goku is a pure of heart dumbass. I think this was a match made in heaven, they completed each other in all honesty
>>134501686
For your NTR fantasies, maybe.
>>134501752
Stop disagreeing
>>134501686
>>134501601
yeah no guys, Goku ending up with anyone and all and somehow even producing offspring is a very weird thought if you actually watched Dragonball and know how he actually is. Other than that it is kinda in character for him simply going with the chick who asked first because he has no fucking idea what he gets into.
>>134501794
I'm not disagreeing with your opinion, it's not essentially valid but I respect it.
You bulmafags remind me of them sakurafags. Top kek.
Besides, like Naruto, Goku ended up with best girl. But keep that salt coming if that makes ya feel better.
>>134501224
Toriyama a hack.
>>134501825
It's definitely weird at first glance, but I imagine it as being part of his private life. Vejiita seems to be in a similar situation, but the alternate diseased one isn't, for example.

As a kid I was kinda hoping for this honestly
>>134501224
I liked it, she was cute
toriyama has never gone with what would be the most obvious answer. Also he doesnt really write romance and he has openly admitted it so i dont see the problem here. any way everyone expected him to be with bulma by the end and that bored toriyama most likely so he went with what interested him more.
>>134502367
I never really expected anything, but recalling Chichi it seemed like a valid choice.
>>134502367
>toriyama has never gone with what would be the most obvious answer.
Err, I don't know man, it's not like it just came out of nowhere
>>134502633
It really doesn't apply to Gokuu with Chichi, but kinda does for Bulma (or maybe it does if you preferred Bulma ending up with Gokuu or found it to be obvious).
>>134501224
Because she was more of a big sister figure to him.
>>134501494
I bet you ship Naruto and Sakura, too.
Think about it. Vegata is always #2 compared to Goku. So of course it is natural that he gets Goku's leftovers, in this case, Bulma.
>>134501224
Gohan wouldn't be a jobber if he had Bulma's chronic anger.
Trunks would be even stronger then his future self.
Bra would actually exist.
>>134501224
Would it really have changed anything?
>>134501224
Well, in the alst chapter they said Saiyan need women like that. Bulma is strong willed but Goku doesn't give a fuck about what she says, unlike with Chichi, she can keep him in check and make him act responsible at times because he's a shitty father and she loves him. They are perfectly compatible, you just see things as a shoujo manga reader, grow up anon. Bulma's always had a thing for bad boys.
>>134501224
Every week with you people.

>>134501224
To be fair, manga Chichi is infinitely better than Toei Chichi.
She had mellowed out during the Android Saga and even more during the Buu Saga.
The problem is Super Chichi is just an annoying bitch.
>>134501320
Goku is like 3 or 4 years younger than Bulma, it wouldn't have been that weird
>>134501494
No you retard stop with these memes
Akira didn't like writing romances that's why he doesn't write them
The reason he paired Goku with Chichi was that he thought it was funny
Holy fucking shit you goddamn retards don't even know the spirit of the series
It would have been fucking awkward as hell if serious romances were a thing in Dragon Ball
>>134509034
He's actually only two years younger than her, but no one knows it. As far as they know he's 5 years younger.
>>134501601
>but somehow simply explained.
herp derp Yamcha is a playboy!!!1!!!
Fuck off Toriyama that's not Yamcha at all
Yamcha started looking for the Dragon Balls because he wanted to be married and he was shy around pretty girls
God this shit pisses me off to no end
Only reason Bulma dumped Yamcha is so Trunks could be created
>>134501933
>Chichi
>Best Girl

I don't agree with Goku and Bulma being a couple(just would be weird and I was always a Yamcha/Bulma fan) but please kill yourself for comparing Bulma to Sakura faggot
It boggles my mind how people still discuss Dragon Ball.

Retard. Martial Arts tournaments take place every 4 years.
First- 10 years old
Second- 14 years old
Third- 18 years old, which is obvious by his change in appearance.
Goku should've just stayed single. After all his sons added nothing to the story or were waste of time and at the end of the day, it's all about goku

Retard Goku was born in 737(734 in the bullshit retcon but that doesn't count)
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Goku
Bulma was born in 733
Bulma Met Goku on September 2nd 749 which would make Goku 12 years old
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_timeline
Learn your facts before you talk shit
>>134510112
Which was later revealed that he didn't know how to count you retard
When Lunch taught him to count he realized he was 12 and that he had skipped 12 and 13 when he told Bulma that
>>134510112
This gets retconned later.
During the tournament Goku says he is 12 when asked. He had just said he was 14 because he didn't know how to count until Roshi taught him.
>>134510247

Hmm...according to this he says "Grandpa" told him how to count(is he referring to Gohan?) http://www.mangareader.net/dragon-ball/41/4
I could have sworn Lunch told him
At the start of the series Bulma is 16 and Goku says he's 14.
A year later at the Budokai Goku reveals that he got his age wrong and he's actually 12. Bulma is 17 at this point so she is 5 years older.
However, in Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, it's revealed that Goku was already 3 years old when he was sent to Earth. Bulma is 5 at the time. Goku is only two years younger than Bulma but he thinks he's 5 years younger.
fuck off with these threads, you mexican faggot
>>134511100
Not correct
Bulma was born August 18th 733
The 21st Tenkaichi Budokaki tackes place in May 7th 750 which means that Bulma was still 16
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_timeline
Keep in mind Goku and Bulma met in Semptember 2nd 749 like 9 months before the Tenkaichi Budokai
Goku was born in 737(exact date unknown)
Bulma was born in August 18th 733
That makes Bulma 4 years older than him
>>134510112
He looks like he's seven. Fucker probably couldn't even stand in the shallow end of the pool. How the hell is he 12-14?
>>134511404
*September 1st
>>134511404
I am correct because I read the manga and not made up dates from a shitty wiki. In the first damn chapter Bulma says she's on summer vacation, how would that make sense if it was September?
>>134511587
Actually it's the second chapter, my bad.
>>134511587
You're retarded
This is info taken from official Daizex Guides
September 1st is still Summer and it could mean that she's been on Summer Vacation for weeks
That's the same day she meets Goku
>>134511404
The Budokai must have been at least a year after the panties wish or else the Dragon Balls wouldn't be back during the Red Ribbon saga.
>>134511817
You're the retard. In he manga that I am reading right now she says she has only 30 days to find the Dragon Balls before she has to go back to school. I somehow doubt that her summer vacation lasts until October. The guidebooks are a load of shit.
>>134511838
It's not though
All of the Budokai's are held on May
It's a big plothole that's what it is
>>134511964
Yes cuz School in the Dragon World is the same as the one in our world
Gimme a break
And we never see Bulma in School either
Besides Bulma is rich so she probably goes to private school
>>134505013
It's funny how people shit on Yamcha when Vegeta technically got his sloppy seconds.
>>134512331
Yeah I just checked and Roshi clearly says they only trained for 8 months.
>>134512750
Yup the fucking timeline is fucked
Akira fucked up on such a simple thing as the Dragon Ball not being able to be activated for one whole year so early on in the Manga

>>134513226
>Unlike Vegeta he can't prove it.
By the virtue of Bulma even wanting to get back with Yamcha, before he died when the saiyans attacked, it's obvious they had to have fucked, since they would have been together for years.
I don't see Bulma not raping Yamcha in that time. Unless you're one of those people (see, retarded shipperfags) deluded enough to believe someone as intelligent and slutty as Bulma was inexperienced with sex prior meeting Vegeta, that's the only flawed reason anyone would even entertain the idea that Yamcha and Bulma hadn't did anything after all those years together, especially with how easily Bulma loses her shit over Yamcha even looking in the direction of another woman.
Alternately, the only people who considered a colossal cunt like Bulma a catch any time outside her teen years are the same types who read shit like DB for its romance and make these kind of threads.

So most of us agree Chichi was the better match?
>>134518885
Even Goku said he loved Chi-Chi being a bitch.
did bulma lose her virginity to yamcha?
>>134501224
Did we forget Toriyama is actually a moron who can't even remember that his main characters have tails?
>>134509686
You guys are retarded if you don't think Chi-Chi asked Goku for a kid and he didn't know how to make one so he gathered up all the dragonballs and asked Shenlong to impregnate her.
>>134519568
That. Or Chi-Chi raped Goku, without him knowing what the fuck was going on, and told him that he has no choice in the matter anymore.
>>134519657
He'd think it was a fight and he'd btfo of her. remember she's a martial artist?
>>134501596
this actually
Does anyone not remember Goku didn't understand the concept of marriage when marrying Chi Chi?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWUQssbzaCc
Goku never really "loved" her. He just liked her a lot and didn't want to hurt her feelings by breaking their promise. Of course, he probably loves ChiChi NOW, but that's beside the point.
Has there every been a more dissapointing son in the history of anime and manga?
>>134519116
I completely forgot about that as well
>>134519837
To be fair, Goku stepped on his dad.
>>134518885
Yes.

Goten was on route to be a superman playboy girlfucker at the end of DBZ who would probably take advantage of his powers so if it continued it would be him.
Best girl for Goku.
>>134519837
Gohan is unironically the strongest being in the universe. Clearly he has to take a break so anyone else stands a chance.
What I don't get is how he became that much weaker, adult gohan could still go SSJ2 after 7 years. Frieza never got weaker after not working out.
>>134504828
>Narufaggot detected
Fixed.
It isn't One Piece or HxH, but caring about shipping in any shounen (let alone Naruto) is kind of an exercise in futility.
It is a genre where if you make your characters too deep or complex, the target demographic will LITERALLY STOP READING.
Shipping in shounen almost always boils down to "Brash hero overcomes the villain through the power of friendship and finally settles down with A.) Childhood Friend w/ a bossy personality or B.) Childhood friend with a soft, subdued personality."
There is no variance.
Naruto and Sakura/Hinata
Ichigo and Rukia/Orihime
Dragon Ball only had Type A's
One Piece only has Type A's because it is heavily influenced by Dragon Ball.
I say again: PAIRINGS IN SHOUNEN DO NOT MATTER. ALL ROMANTIC INTERESTS ARE THE SAME CHARACTERS WITH DIFFERENT FACES AND COLOR-SCHEMES. GETTING ELITIST ABOUT YOUR SHOUNEN WAIFU IS ABSOLUTELY RETARDED BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY TWO OF THEM ACROSS EVERY WORK IN THE GENRE BY DESIGN.

>>134519837
I was going to say "you" but then you said "anime and manga"
>>134520335
Keep in mind that Goku was only 2 years younger than Bulma who towered above him, so Suno was probably like 4 when they met. She can't have a baby in time for Raditz, the earth is destroyed and the universe enslaved by Frieza.
That's how bad a choice this waifu is.
>>134509034
>>134509340
I thought Goku doesn't know how old he is. Wasn't there a thing about that in Dragonball?

>What I don't get is how he became that much weaker, adult gohan could still go SSJ2 after 7 years. Frieza never got weaker after not working out.
SSJ is just a form that multiplies the power of the BASE STRENGHT. If the base strength is low, like Gohan's currently, the SSJ form will be weak too. His SSJ2 form now is weaker than his base form in the Buu saga
>>134520966
Even android 18 is stronger than current gohan.

Chi Chi would have been especially fucking weird if you were reading Dragon Ball as it came out during the 80s. Main character hooks up with a character that appeared in a one shot chapter 200 chapters ago. Who would be the equivalent of Chi-Chi in One Piece? Maybe that bar girl from Luffy's backstory; whoever it would be I doubt anyone remembers her name.
Goku and Bulma were childhood friends and were the male and female lead, respectively. She was literally the first friend Goku ever had. Apparently people think that they'll be traveling around the universe together (for the third time) soon, which is why these discussions have become more common.

Suno was such an unimportant character in Toriyama's mind that she didn't get a name until the anime came out. She's probably appeared in less of the story than Upa.
>>134518885
I really like Chi-chi although she gets annoying, especially in filler material. While I think being obnoxious is part of her personality, I feel like Manga Chi-chi is a lot more chill than she is in the anime.
>>134522092
What, Makino? Girl's way too old for Luffy, she was already at least a teen when he was a kid, and besides, she's probably married cause she has a baby in one of the chapter covers.
