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.

Biography

Name

Production

Polo from Pola & Roid may have served as the inspiration for Chi-Chi's early design.

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.[5] It was also used by Midori Yamabuki on the title page of Dr. Slump Chapter 89, although not in the story itself.[6]

Notable Skills

Chi-Chi wields her helmet's laser beam while striking an Ultraseven pose.
The original "Emerium Beam" pose from Ultraseven

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 which 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.[7] 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".[8] Despite her skills, Yamcha was able to dodge her attack and knock her out quickly in their first encounter.
