Haven't we already gotten these in GT? Goku dies, the DBs go away, and the Namekian DBs most likely won't be used again because of the Evil Dragons.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
This. Goku didn't choose Raditz to be his brother... and even then, he sacrificed himself to save his son which was foremost on his mind. He supported his son's decision to go to Namek after all the stuff with Nappa and Vegeta was over, because he did not expect it to be a dangerous situation. When he did find out, he went as soon as he was physically capable, which was, like, 1 minute after finding out. Even as an enraged Super Saiyan, his son's safety was foremost on his mind, ordering him to get off of the planet as soon as he found Bulma. Yes, he did stay on the planet that his pod crash-landed on when he performed his own ret-con and found one to escape from Namek. Was he on that planet when Polunga tried to wish him to Earth? Yes.TheGmGoken wrote:Damn its not like Goku before Z started did not take care of Gohan for 4 years. Oh wait he did. After Boo I'm sure Goku didn't pay attention to Friends but hang with his Grand kid and sons. Yea let us forget these moments.

You lost me there. Vegeta is no way a better dad than Goku, and I'm not even complimenting Goku.Vegeta I get it,
As far as dad's go, Goku is a mixed bag, but he's good in many ways. He's affectionate and compliments his child, telling him he's proud of him.Besides, as far as totally selfish, dick-ish dads go, Goku's easily the nicest and most caring.
He was seen in the manga, actually, and seems like a decent guy.Gyt Kaliba wrote:Heck, why not put up a blank box with a red X and list 'Yusuke Urameshi's Father'. 'He was never seen, but we know he existed because Yusuke was born!'
Oh yeah...I forgot all about that. Still, this was based mostly on the anime incarnations, so it's still valid enough of a joke.Saiga wrote:He was seen in the manga, actually, and seems like a decent guy.Gyt Kaliba wrote:Heck, why not put up a blank box with a red X and list 'Yusuke Urameshi's Father'.

What's even more amusing about the hug scene is that earlier that day, Goku hugged Goten for the first time. Even with the seven year head start, Vegeta is still falling second to Goku.ParkerAL wrote:You guys can't seem to get Goku's farcical portrayal in DBZ Abridged out of your heads when it comes to judging his parenting chomps.
He even flat out admitted that he hadn't hugged Trunks up until going up against Buu.
