Why would Goku choose to live with Uub?

Post by Dr. Machismo » Sat Sep 14, 2013 10:14 am

I know he wants to train him, but how can you train a novice like Uub in a poverty-stricken island? Wouldn't it be smarter for Uub to live and train with Goku?

Well, Goku grew up on a mountain with literally no insight into the modern world. He'd never seen cars before...never seen a girl before! Goku's priorities aren't based around comfort and modern sensibilities. He's goes wherever he needs to and that just so happened to be back to where Oob came from.

Why? Who knows, it's not explicitly stated. You could probably go with the line of thinking that Oob's family aren't going to be cool with him going off to a Tournament and then running off with some stranger!

Goku had learned and matured a lot by the time he left with Uub ... training a novice like Uub on a poverty-stricken island would be illogical, not based on just common standards, but fighting standards.

His base character never changed. We're talking in pure hypotheticals with this thread, if you're going to reply like that then I'm not going to indulge you.

EDIT: And you've edited your initial post from 'Goku had learned and matured a lot by the time he left with Uub ...' to something with slightly more substance now. Right.

Well, again, I don't see it as illogical, it's still hypothetical. I still stand by my point that Goku doesn't care for commodities, he could train wherever and still be fine. He's learnt all the techniques over the years and could potentially apply them anywhere.

But your hypothesis still doesn't make sense. His base character may have never changed, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be smart enough not to train Uub elsewhere

Like where? We don't know anything. This is based on nothing but conjecture. For all we know, he went to the village to do the basic training he did when he was a kid and then moved on up to Kaio-sama's planet and then into the ROSAT. We don't know his methodology whatsoever.

Goku said he'd ask Mark to give them some money for his village..

I guess that goes into what you want to believe. Did Goku live with Uub? He certainly said he was at the end of Z. However, Neko Majin Z showed him possibly having Uub live with him at his house. Meanwhile GT shows that they didn't live with either family & instead lived at the Lookout.

I personally like to think he spent a year with Uub, a year with his family, then the rest of the time at the Lookout.

I'm trying to debate the reasoning and logic in living with Uub, not if he lived with him

You're looking too deeply into it... Both of his kids are grown by that point and I'm sure Chi Chi has a collection of vibrators stashed away for whenever Goku either dies or goes on his training vacations.

I thought the reason was obvious.

Uub cared about his family first and foremost. So Goku made it easy for him to accept training by bringing the training to his home.

No need for vibrators. She has Piccolo to satisfy all her needs. :P

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.

Goku choose to live with Uub to teach/guide him. Known fact.

The setting could be anywhere. Uub's homeland/village, Spirit Room, Kaio-sama's Planet, heck somewhere around Mount. Paouzu.

Uub's goal was to help his fellow villagers with the prize money. Reason behind his participation for Tenkaichi Budoukai.

The prob's considered solved since Goku convinced Mr.Satan would help.

What's next? Train.

Uub was also considerably excited just as Goku was. Mutual feel.

Came here to post this.

Besides, Goku has Instant Transmission and can use it for himself or with Uub.

How? Goku routinely took Gohan to train in the wilderness. Why would he suddenly decide to take Oob to Planet Fitness?
