Pretty sure i already corrected you on this before but Gohan was already attending when Goku said he'd come. That's exactly why Goku said he'd come. Because Gohan already had been blackmailed and was attending which lead Vegeta and Goku to attend.Lord Beerus wrote:I'm actually getting kinda tired of of whole "Goku is an idiot" label that people have been slapping on Super with his characterisation. Goku at his core is a battle loving manchild. While the anime adaption of the Z portion of the manga certainly adds more on Goku's mindset the make his seem like less of battle maniac, in the manga, he's a full blown blood knight that doesn't show that many social skill. Goku has always been about training, fighting and testing himself. Goku constantly thinking those things is Goku's core characteristic, especially as he gets older. I mean, Goku certainly has some other thoughts, but they ultimately relate to his main thought of "Who can I fight next?/How can I get stronger?". Silly stuff like Goku never kissing Chi Chi don't display a lack of intelligence. It's a dumb, and I mean really, dumb gag. But I think some people are looking into it way too deeply and/or taking it way too seriously. Does it make sense for Goku to have never kissed Chi Chi? No, it doesn't. But given how casually distant Goku can be with his family, it's not something completely out of the realm of possibility. Super just follows that trends. Calling Goku a retard in any way is really making a mountain out of mole hole.
I've only really come across one instance where Goku, in my opinion, showed a distinct lack of intelligence in Super and that was when he couldn't tell that was Beerus wearing a Monaka suit in EP42. But in that circumstance, it was 100% played for laughs and pure filler. Him forgetting stuff like the senzu and and seal for the Mafuba jar... it's just a case of, well, forgetting things in a race against time. I mean, are we really gonna start labelling people stupid if they forget important things? It's like locking you keys inside your car or leaving a bag of groceries on the bus or forgetting important documents you're meant to take to school or work at home the same day. Shit like that just happens. It's a common lapse in concentration that occurs to everyone at one stage of their life, even if they're not in a rush. It's happened to me, you and everyone on this forum at one point in their live. That shouldn't mean you're stupid. That's a bit of an overreaction, in my opinion.
Chi Chi has always been quite a hothead, but she has her moments where she mellows out and just accepts Goku's bullshit because that's ultimately what he can do from time to time but she knows he doesn't do it out of malice or spite. And in all fairness, if you had an irresponsible husband like Goku, your patient would be stretched to the limit.
Gohan is shift in focus is perfectly acceptable given he got married and has a child and is still looking for greater opportunities to provide as much as he can for his family. I really don't understand why Gohan is being getting flack for simply wanting to making he isn't living off of donations from family and friends like Goku and Chi Chi are. Gohan won't always have the time to play Great Saiyaman because that's more of hobby than an actual commitment. When he has actual time to play superhero, he'll do it. And he's actually done that in few episodes of Super, albeit briefly. And, no, Gohan never loved training with his father, hell he pretty much only ever trained once with Goku and that was in circumstances where he really had no choice. I mean, when Goku announced that he was going to coming back to life for one day to take part in WMAT in the Majin Boo arc, Gohan initially wasn't even going to take part in that tournament. It took Videl blackmailing him for that to happen. So Gohan has never shown a love for training or fighting with anyone. He does it out of necessity. I really don't know why Gohan is being labelled a nerd for trying top provide for his family and for himself.
.
Also, Gohans a nerd. It's not a bad thing like some people ironically try to act like it is, but he kind of is.
). First Goku heard that Black killed Future Bulma and his reaction was pathetic (my most hated ooc Goku reaction in super), he simply didn't care and was happy about the fight, and she was the woman who saved his life when she built a time machine to give him the medicine to his heart's disease.
