According to the gags, Kame-sennin & early Saiyan arc Kuririn couldn't tank bullets, while Goku could tank them in the same page that Kame-sennin was covered in blood, but then again, it was a gag. Kame-sennin also had to catch the bullets against the RRA, instead of tanking them, but then again, he just wanted to make an impression. Which is why I said "(maybe)".
There are no "maybes". BOZ Goku could destroy a car with one unmastered ki blast, not to mention take bullets to the face with just minor injury, and Chi Chi's battle power is over a dozen times his. Her durability would without a doubt be much higher.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger.

I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

In all seriousness, given the suspects and the general whimsy of Toriyama, I could see Goku doing it accidentally, like hitting through the house with a stray kamehameha while training in the backyard. Videl is in the room with Chichi when this happens, and calls Bulma in a panic. The two, not having the heart to tell Goku he murdered his wife, try to convince him she is fine a la Weekend At Bernie's,

But is Goku's durability because of his battle power, or because of him being a Saiyan? We don't know that.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Even if it was due to him being a saiyan, do you really think that his durability is such that it would let him tank attacks that would fell those over ten times stronger than him? Of course not. We know that for a fact. Do you really think a single bullet from anything Videl could use would be stronger than Goku's ki attack that blew up a car? And that said attack would even singe Chi Chi's hair? Heck, even Bora couldn't even feel numerous rifle rounds to his chest. Do you think Bora is stronger than Chi Chi? That big guard in the Daimao arc, after seeing Daimao absorb bullets and explosives of all kinds to absolutely no effect, was confident in beating him anyway, and even stated that he was sent out because bullets did nothing. Is he stronger than Chi Chi too? By extension, that would make both of these no-names significantly stronger than Roshi, who's supposed to be the mightiest martial artist on Earth was far as back as the 21st Budokai arc, where he was nowhere near Chi Chi's strength.

Considering the feats of those much weaker than her, and how close her given battle power is to Roshi's, I doubt that any kind of man-portable weapon would be able to damage her. The notion that bullets of any kind are a threat to people thatstrong is frankly absurd.

I think Bulma would if they got into a cat fight and weapons were involved.

Vegeta if Chi-Chi yelled at him like she does to Goku.

Piccolo, if Chi-Chi doesn't allow Gohan to hang out with him anymore. :lol:

A drunk Gohan could have accidentally killed her somehow in his stupor. I mean he did technically shoot Videl.

Or Perhaps Goku finally got tire of her nagging and made it look like a accident. Remember when he slapped her through the wall.
I would think it would go along these lines.

Well, I think that if Kame-sennin could really tank bullets, he wouldn't have been covered in blood in the same panel that Goku wasn't covered in blood from the bullets. Same with early Saiyan arc Kuririn. Maybe humans have to get serious to tank bullets, like Bora did, and if they are not ready to take them, they'll get hurt. But Saiyans don't get hurt because they have a harder skin. That's what I believe.

But anyway, this is a joke thread, not the place to talk about such stuff.
