Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I prefer Toriyama's skinny design of Ultra Instinct over Yamamuro's muscular one. I don't mind how Yamamuro changed certain characters to be more muscular (like Hit and Blue Goku/Vegeta), but I think Ultra Instinct being skinny would be more fitting with the general idea of the form. It would also be a nice contrast to Jiren who's very big and beefy.

The main reason people hate that design is because it's SSG recolored. I bet that if that wasn't the case, more people would dig it too.Khin wrote:I prefer Toriyama's skinny design of Ultra Instinct over Yamamuro's muscular one.

I believe Gohan "fans", FUNi fanboys, Chi-Chi haters, and Yamcha haters represent the worst of the entire fandom (all in that order) and I defy anyone to tell me otherwise.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'll second that question. She's one of the more easily unlikable characters in the series in my opinion. The filler of her yelling at television sets in several episodes don't help with that either. And this isn't coming from a FUNi fanboy.ABED wrote:What's wrong with disliking Chichi?DBZAOTA482 wrote:I believe Gohan "fans", FUNi fanboys, Chi-Chi haters, and Yamcha haters represent the worst of the entire fandom (all in that order) and I defy anyone to tell me otherwise.

Not exactly. Usually both sides would just see things from different perspectives but in the case of the Chi-Chi haters I've talked to, they are world-class bullshitters:ABED wrote:Same thing applies to fans.

Chi-Chi tricked/forced/blackmailed/manipulated Goku into marriage
All because he believed a "bride" was food... even though as far as the story's concerned, Chi-Chi was unaware of this. This also. makes it sound like Goku had no choice on the matter even though he clearly did... Gyumao offered her "hand" as an award and he accepted on the basis that Gyumao gave it to him.
Goku should have married Bulma because she "understands" him and would let him train by himself
Ignoring the fact Bulma hated it when Yamcha did the same thing and I like to see them cite a moment where Chi-Chi did get on Goku's case about him going off to train... oh wait, they can't.
Chi-Chi uses her family for money
I remember a DB YouTuber literally accusing Chi-Chi of marrying Goku for money even though that wasn't a concern at all druing the time and Goku doesn't claim his winnings from the tournament. I've also seen haters claim Gohan studying is all about him earning money so she can mooch off him when he become successful yet she never received a single cent from Gohan or Videl even as far as Super and she hardly mentions money as a reason for wanting him to get an education. There's even some accusation that she only trained Goten so she can earn more money from participating at tournaments when the Tenkaichi Budokai was still a smoking crater as far as she knew. I've seen people claim she was a gold-digger because she was excited after learning the Tenkaichi Budokai was offering a 100 mill zeni prize because the fortune her father left them with was near-gone.
Furthermore, Chi-Chi never expressed desire to live in luxury or of higher class so the idea of her being a gold-digger, money-hungry, etc. is stupid.
The closest to an actual scene of any reference to this bogus claim is her change of attitude towards Videl after learning she was rich, citing her "hostility" to her when they first met... but this is the girl who blackmailed Gohan into teaching her how to fly so for all we know, she likely was the hostile one and it robbed Chi-Chi the wrong way. Besides, she offered her lunch like she was part of the family before learning she was rich so it's not like there was any bad blood between them.
Aside from these ridiculous beliefs, they generally act pretty obnoxious and it's made even worse that they get defended in all this.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Maybe not in the case of Chi-chi specifically, but I've seen people who are fans of characters create BS in defense of their favorites.
That aside, I just don't like Chichi. I don't think she adds anything to the story beyond birthing Gohan. I never saw any moments that were supposed to be humorous that actually made me laugh or at least chuckle. Her relationship with Goku isn't exactly romantic. It's not even Sam and Diane because at least they were entertaining. Then there's the whole tiger mom thing. I simply don't find her character appealing.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
As far as the hate for Chi-Chi is concerned, I think most of it comes from the way that she’s portrayed in filler. Toei does not have a good track record when it comes to characters like her or the Muten Roshi.

But yeah I have watched/rewatched all 3 in the last year and I think I enjoyed DBZ the least of the three tbh. (this one is DEFINITELY an unpopular opinion)
I would watch DB episodes in between 2-3 hour study sessions and I REALLY looked forward to those I think much more so than I did for when I did the same for DBZ.
