Chi-Chi is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. Chi-Chi makes her debut in chapter 11, published in the 1985 #11 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump. A skilled fighter who becomes a doting wife and mother, Chi-Chi is one of the principal female characters of the series.
Biography
Name
Chi-Chi (チチ, Chi-Chi) is a Japanese slang term for "milk" or "breast".[5] Chi-Chi and her father, the Ox Demon King, both have names related to cows.
Production
Like many aspects of early Dragon Ball, Chi-Chi's introductory story borrows and remixes elements from Journey to the West. In that story, the Ox Demon King (Chinese: 牛魔王, Niú mówáng; Japanese Gyūmaō) is Son Wukong's friend and rival. Later in the story when Son Wukong must put out the fires on Flaming Mountain (adapted in the manga as Mount Frypan), he attempts to steal Bansho Fan from the Demon King's wife, Princess Iron Fan (Chinese: 鐵扇公主, Tiě shàn gōngzhǔ). This leads to Son Wukong battling, and eventually defeating, the Ox Demon King and his wife to force them to hand over the fan. Unlike in Dragon Ball, the Ox Demon King of Journey to the West has a son named the Red Boy (Chinese: 紅孩兒, Hóng hái'ér; Japanese: Kōgaiji) who possessed the power of inextinguishable fire. Other than being the child of the Ox Demon King, Chi-Chi has little in common with her counterpart.[6]
Chi-Chi's initial character design for her Chapter 11 appearance, which was re-used by the anime until her reappearance at the 23rd Tournament, plays off the contrast of a stereotypical warrior-woman (including sexual-but-nonfunctional armor) who is also an inexperienced child. Chi-Chi's outfit includes an exaggerated brassier, a bikini-like lower garment, and a cape. This design closely resembles Pola from Toriyama's one-shot Pola & Roid, released in 1981. [7] It was also used by Midori Yamabuki on the title page of Dr. Slump Chapter 89, although not in the story itself.[8]
Notable Skills
In Chi-Chi's earliest appearances, she is depicted as a capable fighter and is easily able to dispatch a dinosaur using her special helmet. This helmet features a detachable "mohawk" boomerang that Chi-Chi can throw, as well as a gem for firing laser beams. In this first encounter, Chi-Chi decapitates the dinosaur with the boomerang then completely destroys its body using her laser.[9] These features, and Chi-Chi's pose while using them, closely resemble those of the main character in Ultraseven, a sequel to Ultraman released in 1987. In that series, the boomerang attack was referred to as the "Eye Slugger" (アイスラッガー Ai Suraggā), while the laser beam was called the "Emerium Ray".[10] Despite her skills, she was easily overcome by Yamcha who was able to dodge her helmet-blasts and knock her unconscious.
Performance
