What if Chi Chi was a Z Fighter?

Post by Gokuman1993 » Sun Mar 05, 2017 7:57 pm

(Boy, it's been a while since I've posted anything, huh?)

I dunno if anyone made a thread like this before, or even asked this question, but it's been one I've been thinking about for a long while upon rereading the Dragon Ball manga; what would happen if Chi-Chi was part of the Z-Fighters? I mean, I know we got Android 18 and all that, but seriously DB is sort of lacking in female fighters. Most of them are either relegated to more domestic roles (like Chi-Chi and Videl) or not really join in on the action much (seriously, I'd have love to see more of 18 in the Buu Arc outside of her beating on Mr. Satan and her match with Goten and Trun...I mean, "Mighty Mask." XD). But, what if that wasn't the case?

I mean, we all know Chi-Chi was a martial artist at some point; in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, she was strong and skilled enough to be a finalist and, while the power gap was too large and she lost, she managed to keep Goku on his feet with each hit and kick she threw at him and she didn't even get tired. Hell, even long after she stopped fighting and became a housewife and mother, she never seemed to get rusty according to Goten in the Buu Arc; he stated that she trained him a bit, apparently enough to make him an equal to Trunks (who trained with his dad in the Gravity Room, BTW). While I like Chi-Chi as is, I do think it would've been neat if she still got to be a fighter. Like, maybe she'd never be as powerful as her Super Saiyan hubby and her boys, but she could share the title of "World's Strongest Human" alongside Krillin. That would be awesome, would it?

Like, just imagine if she got into the action with her husband, her sons and their friends? What if she joined Krillin, Yamcha, Tenshinhan and Chaozu to train with Kami? What she fought alongside them against Vegeta and Nappa? What if she joined Gohan, Krillin and Bulma on their trip to Namek (if she didn't die in the Saiyan Arc)? What if she tried to fight against the Androids and Cell? What if she participated in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai before Babidi showed up? But, most importantly, what if she got some ki control and learned some attacks (like the Kamehameha) and maybe even make some new attacks herself?

I'd love to know what you guys think, maybe even add in more than I've already said. Feel free to even add in some potential power levels for her :D

Edit(3/11/17): Also, can we maybe hold off on the hate for her here? 'Cause I'm noticing a lot of users gleefully talking about how she'll get beat up and/or killed. Like, come on guys.... No! :thumbdown:

I enjoyed Chi-Chi as a fighter and think they could've done more with her if they'd gone the Bulma route by adding her being a mom to her already established character instead of it overtaking her completely.

They had Chi-Chi fight some of Garlic Jr's minions in Dead Zone while protecting Gohan; they definitely could've done it. Chi-Chi's pretty fearless too so you could've had some good moments. I do think she'd drop off at around where Krillin and Yamcha started to (End of Cell arc) but she could've easily made it though most of Z if she'd continued training, imo.

She'd probably peak around Krillin or Tien tier then pushed into the background but it'd actually benefit her character a lot more justice so bullshit like this wouldn't happen:

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

She'd still be weaker than Krillin. I'd say she could surpass Yamacha if she keeps at it. Probably wouldn't be so uptight with Gohan. Goten being strong would also be a little less stupid.

I am all for ChiChi getting to be a z fighter!
We get to see the best beatdowns of her every arc! Getting into fight with super powerful Aliens with that attitude? Better be ready for a fate worse than videl dear..
The possibilities are endless, puch that throat in zamasu! :thumbup:

I know some might not like the take on the subject but that's how it's gonna be if we stay real..

Well she wouldn't put up with Nappa's shit, if you believe that Gohan's inner rage comes from her, But I don't know if she'd survive the fight. Alternatively, motherly advice from her may force Gohan's power out, perhaps enough to end Nappa, possibly send Vegeta packing.

She'd definitely veto Gohan's further actions, and would fight everyone if she needed to. She may end up going to Namek, where it's possible she could make things better or worst in an already screwed up situation.

Androids Saga, Well, she's going to fall to the wayside like every other human, unless she has a deus ex machina in her pocket. Plus, get pregnant with Goten maybe.

Buu Saga onwards, she's done, Gohan's now an adult, there's a lot of fighters who can protect earth now, she doesn't have to step in anymore. And added bonus she won't be a dumbass and slap Buu in the face.

At best, she'd be as relevant as Krillin fighting-wise but I suppose she could do damage in the Saiyan saga.

Then Gohan would not be a Z-Fighter, she wouldn't let him join or she'd be nagging him till he quit. :P

Assuming she trains with Goku/Piccolo/Gohan during the three year period between the Trunks and Android Saga, then trains with Goten for seven years, she should be the strongest human.

She would have been killed by Nappa and then likely retired from fighting after the Namek arc.

well i feel that she be ok on a human level but she need to get her Potental awaken by Old Kai and/or learn Kaioken from North Kai

but considering how Toriyama potrayed her throughout the Series, She just become a enhanced version of herself unless her personality changed as well

I think she would have been a popular character among fans.

She probably would have put less emphasis on education for Gohan. Interesting, given that it's one of his unique qualities as a character.

A battle-hungry Chi-Chi could very well have been more attractive to Goku. Maybe the relationship would actually be romantic.
DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least... :think:

My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid. :P

I have a gut feeling that if Chi Chi had become one of the core martial artists in the series, they would have utilized her the same way they did Pan for GT (and especially the Shadow Dragon story arc); that is, she would only show up to get beaten to a pulp in order to give Goku the righteous anger he needs for motivation to beat the bad guys. No thanks.

(AN: I actually wrote a reply to this post a few weeks ago but for some reason it didn't get posted, so I'm writing this from scratch.)

Chi-Chi becomes a Z Fighter and trains with Goku over the years before Raditz shows up. They give Gohan some training, and when Raditz arrives, Goku doesn't die because Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan are strong enough to take him down without having to use the full nelson. Vegeta and Nappa still show up, but Goku puts away Nappa quickly. Yamcha still gets blown up, then Tenshinhan, Chaozu, and Piccolo are killed by Vegeta. They beat Vegeta with Chi-Chi's help, but he still escapes.
In the Freeza arc, they all go to Namek, and in the fight with Freeza Chi-Chi and Kuririn die, which makes both Goku and Gohan go SSJ.
