That would require Goku actually knowing what "divorce" is.

Even then, no. Who else would be willing to put up with the monster that is Goku's stomach?

Probably something that ruins whatever he's eating.

Who do you think was doing that before he got married and from Toriyama's recent interview, we find out that saiyans have no preferences on food, it just needs to be edible so Goku probably won't care about the taste. I forgot to mention he has king kai to feed him.

Goku's family life might be unconventional but let's not act like he's a selfish man who doesn't love anybody. He was ready to give up against Beerus, until he saw a vision of Chi Chi screaming for him. Then his next vision was everybody else at once. Meaning Chi Chi by herself takes precedence over Kuririn, both his sons, his master, and Vegeta, and the rest of his friends, not to mention himself, all at once. Goku's spirit and battle lust had run out by that point, he knew Beerus was much too powerful. It was the vision of Chi Chi that gave him the will power to surpass his limits and summon Super Saiyan God at will.

Goku is like a puppy. He doesn't necessarily need others to be around to be happy, if something catches his interest, he'll leave. But never doubt his ultimate devotion to those he loves.

You do know that the scenario your talking about never happened in the anime right.

I feel it is important to remember that Goku is an alien living on Earth, and not only is he an alien, but he's also lived the majority of his life away from what we'd consider a normal, civilised society. It isn't really fair to judge him by our standards.

He didn't know what marriage was initially, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was unaware of the concept of divorce.

All that being said, I've always felt he does love Chi-Chi in his own "way". If he knew that divorce was an option, I still don't think he would take it up.

I'd be more inclined to question why Chi-Chi is still with Goku, if anything, but I suppose the answer is love!

My reasoning is that I think Goku's asexual and personally he has no attachment to his wife other than the children they spawned together. They have a very unhealthy relationship in the series and have nothing personal in common. If I were Toriyama, I would have had Goku divorce Chi Chi (the screeching old hag) a long time ago. What do you guys think? Would Goku divorce Chi Chi?
No. She makes him great food.

Wasn't Toriyama more involved in the the movie than the anime? Personally I take what ever he had more a hand in as canon, but that's just me.
Bulma is awesome... but chi-chi is best waifu :wink:

I agree, to me the "ultra-top-trump" hierarchy is Dragon Ball manga, BoG & RoF, then the Super anime. But then... doesn't Toriyama also have a hand in the manga? Augh, so confusing!

my headcanon is that goku only puts up with chichi cause of goten. Thats why EoZ when goten is nearly 18 and can do his own thing, goku fucks off with uub.

It happened in the movie, which for all intents and purpose was the original version of that arc. (We have *THREE* versions of Battle of Gods now, ffs).

And absolutely not. I never understood comments like

this. I honestly believe Goku loves Chichi and he's not some one-note moron like TFS and (sometimes) Super portrays him as who only thinks about fighting.

I think when it comes to super you could choose between the 2, as he's not necessarily "directly" involved in either. He provides a base for both the anime and manga but ultimately it's up to toei and toyotaro to fill in the gaps.

As long as she keeps cooking for him Goku couldn't give a flying #&@%.

What the heck? Of course not lol. Goku isn't even that bad he is pretty much saving the world all the time and Chi Chi loves him to death.

Is he the best husband? No, not really, but it's pretty much set in stone they'll be together forever.

As for Goku's side, he loves her so much as well. He honestly has no interest in anyone else either and doesn't operate in this function of wanting to break up or whatever. He's happy with his current spouse.

Nope. Goku prefers guts and Chi chi in her first appearance killed a Dinosaur.

Saw the "Goku divorce Chichi".
Rolled eyes in anticipation.
Slightly surprised OP didn't throw in GokuxCaulifla in there (would not have been the first time).

That all said, I agree that Goku and Chichi have a unique but real bond that neither would break. Goku isn't the kind to cut relationships. HFIL, he's bridged relationships with several enemies that were all trying to kill him at one point or another.

The only reason people can come up with for Goku leaving Chichi, is their own head canon.

That or people take DBA seriously. That is just a fan parody of the show and some people that to be the truth. I would make jokes about this topic but I'm never serious about it. This is the something as Piccolo is Gohan's true father thing that came DBA as well.

True. My cousin, who is about 5 years younger then I am, got into the Dragon Ball franchise recently, including Super.

But rather then watch DBZ or DBZ Kai along with DBZA, he sticks with DBZ Abridged, only. So, yeah. I've seen that kind of thing before. :(

I have a watched all the Dragon Ball shows in both English and Japanese in my life and I'm not that old. People need to stop being lazy and watch the show and don't relay on parodies to get your facts from.
