Okay, I admit with the first three I was joking but I'll refute anyways:ABED wrote:- The first one is a valid excuse. Goku is NOT a wife beater. He didn't intentionally knock her 50 feet. He only meant to pat her on the back in a playful way.
- Giant cockroach? Cell? Is it better that Goku die in battle and let everyone else die? Gohan was the ONLY one with the power to defeat Cell. Goku's only crime was not telling Gohan before hand what his plan was. I'm tired of people thinking that Goku letting Gohan fight Cell was being a bad parent.
- He was explicit about his reasons to stay dead. He didn't want to attract strong evil people to the Earth and endanger the people he loves anymore. I don't think he knew Goten had even been conceived yet.
- Goku did know there was something wrong with being beaten up, but he didn't want Gohan to get DQed and he didn't think Spopovitch would get himself disqualified for killing VIdel.
- It was Kaioshin's plan to let Gohan get hurt.
- Toriyama doesn't think that far ahead.
- He didn't see his friends for 5 years after the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai as well. He didn't shut them out, he just didn't visit them. He was busy training and hanging with his family.
- He doesn't leave on a whim. He had a plan.
If Vegeta can be forgiven for mass genocide, Goku can still be pure of heart, especially since it's never his intention to hurt people. And your first one is so ridiculous. Why you would ever think that constitutes spousal abuse? SMH. You might as well claim that Bulma is an attempted murderer because she shoots her friends with machine guns!
- Fair enough although in the manga, it looked far less like an accident.
- You should add that he didn't know that Gohan doesn't enjoy fighting like Goku did.
- I know that already but the existence of the Majin Boo Saga rendered it meaningless.
-No, He was only suspicious about how Spopovich got so strong. Videl's safety was the furthest thing from his mind and killing does constitute for disqualification. It was made clear during the fight between Goku vs. Piccolo when the latter was trying to kill Goku and he didn't give a Oozaru's asscrack about the match. I know they would be disqualified if he interfered but it's still something to consider.
- Kaioshin was pretty vague about his plan and regardless, Goku not helping Gohan goes against a father's instinct to protect his family at all cost and it's also pretty out-of-character for Goku to not help an non-evil doer when he/she is suffering.
- Don't care, all that matters is that it makes Goku look like a douche for not being honest about his powers during a do-or-die situation.
- Even though they offered various invitations during the 5 years yet Goku makes a sentiment that his training is more important? Sounds like shutting someone out, and he had more of a justification for not visiting in the 5 following years of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. He's got married, found a new home at Mount Paozu, and had a child.
- Yeah, ditch his friends and family so he can have a new sparring partner.
I think Goku is still pure of heart during the Artificial Human/Cell Saga but once the Majin Boo Saga roles around, he became a selfish idiot and a bad family man (one of the many reasons the saga isn't very good compared the others).
