Chi-Chi

Chi-Chi is the daughter of the Ox-King and serves as the princess of Fire Mountain. She later marries Son Goku, and together they raise two sons, Son Gohan and Son Goten. When she first appears, she comes across as gentle, reserved, and somewhat timid. As she gets older, however, her personality undergoes a noticeable shift; she becomes outspoken, stubborn, and quick to anger, often shouting at Goku and others throughout the series. Even so, she never hides her deep devotion to her family, frequently showing warmth and care for both her husband and her children.

Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Chi-Chi’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Emperor Pilaf Saga Chi-Chi's father, the Ox-King, found his castle on Fire Mountain impossible to reach, so he sent her to retrieve the Bansho Fan from his old teacher, Master Roshi. During her journey, she encounters a dinosaur and manages to defeat it using the blade on her helmet and a blast from the same device. Shortly after, she meets Yamcha and attacks him with a laser from her helmet out of fear of strangers. Yamcha knocks her unconscious in self-defense but later returns to help when he realizes she is the Ox-King's daughter. When she wakes up, she still sees him as a threat and prepares to attack again. To calm her down, Yamcha lies and tells her he loves her. Because she is still innocent and trusting, she believes him. The moment she turns her back, however, Yamcha runs away. Soon after, Chi-Chi crosses paths with Goku, who is riding his Flying Nimbus. He explains that her father sent him to find her and take her to Master Roshi. While climbing onto the Nimbus, she accidentally grabs Goku's tail, which reveals his weakness to Yamcha, who had been hiding nearby. During their ride, Goku touches her with his foot to figure out whether she is a boy or a girl; in the edited version, he simply tells her to wear more clothes. Although Chi-Chi initially gets upset and pushes him off the Nimbus, the moment makes her believe that Goku might have feelings for her. This is when she first falls in love with him, though Goku is still too naive to understand what that means. He does not fully grasp her feelings until they meet again during the Piccolo Jr. Saga. At that point, he seems uncomfortable at first but eventually grows used to the idea and shows genuine care for her. When the two finally reach Master Roshi's home, Roshi explains that he had accidentally thrown away the Bansho Fan and would have to extinguish the fire himself. In the anime, Chi-Chi recounts her first date with Goku to Gohan, who has just been pressured into going on a date with a girl named Angela. She tells him about the time she and Goku were teenagers, though they still appeared much younger. She claims she convinced Goku to go on the date without resorting to blackmail. She told him to think of something he enjoyed most and then try to persuade her into doing it. Since Goku found fighting the most enjoyable activity, he naturally suggested that. Chi-Chi was hesitant at first, but she eventually got into it and turned out to be a fairly even match for him. Looking back, she describes it as a great first date. It is unclear exactly when this took place, but it likely happened at some point before Goku began training under Master Roshi, as he is not wearing the Turtle School uniform in the flashback. Instead, he is dressed in the same blue outfit he wore when they first met. Red Ribbon Army Saga In the anime, after the town at Fire Mountain was rebuilt and repopulated, Chi-Chi grew lonely and began waiting for Goku's return. Her father, the Ox-King, took her to a village psychic to find out when Goku would come back. The psychic said he was approaching, and since Chi-Chi wanted to marry him, the Ox-King started preparing for a wedding. While the preparations were underway, Chi-Chi went outside the village to pick flowers. Goku appeared, and the two talked for a while. Soon after, they noticed smoke rising from the village and went to investigate. Colonel Silver and his troops had attacked the village, so Goku and Chi-Chi took to the Nimbus to help. Chi-Chi ended up taking out several soldiers, all while crying, using the laser from her helmet. The Red Ribbon Army forced Goku to leave and continue his journey. Just before he departed, Chi-Chi asked, "What about the wedding?" Goku replied, "I'll be back. I'll try some of that next time." Still naive about such matters, he misunderstood the word "wedding" and thought it might be some kind of food. Later, while training at Korin Tower to prepare for his fight against Mercenary Tao, Goku looked into a jar that showed a vision of the meadow where he and Chi-Chi had spoken earlier. King Piccolo Saga In the anime, Chi-Chi asks her father to take on King Piccolo, but the Ox-King insists that no one in the world is strong enough to defeat him. Chi-Chi suggests that Goku might be able to do it, though her father remains doubtful. She, however, continues to have faith in Goku. Later, she and her father are attacked by King Furry's soldiers, who had been ordered to execute martial artists on King Piccolo's command. They are saved when Goku arrives. Throughout these events, Chi-Chi is shown to have matured faster than Goku, which later becomes a recurring source of humor. In the anime, Chi-Chi and her father are shown at his castle celebrating Goku's victory over King Piccolo. Three years later, Chi-Chi enters the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament under the alias "Anonymous." Her competitor number during the preliminary rounds is 59. 23rd Budokai Saga Chi-Chi approached Goku to greet him, but he did not recognize her at all, which made her angry and led her to call him an idiot. She was especially upset because Goku had forgotten her name and never returned to fulfill the promise he had made, though he had gone straight to the Lookout after defeating King Piccolo and simply never came back. She told him that if he could defeat her in their semi-final match, she would explain why she was angry and remind him of her name. Oolong and Master Roshi had already figured out who she was. During the match, Goku won effortlessly by throwing a punch through the air, and the shockwave alone knocked her out of the ring. She then revealed her identity, surprising everyone. Goku was stunned to realize that the girl he had met years ago had grown up just as he had. He was even more surprised when she brought up the promise he had made. He admitted that he did remember it, but also confessed that he had only said it because he had no idea what a bride actually was. Chi-Chi looked crushed by his words, but Goku still decided to follow through and proposed to her in front of the crowd. She told him she loved him, but he did not fully understand what that meant due to his naivety. She then kissed him on the cheek, which prompted a humorous reaction from Krillin and applause from the audience. She also apologized to Yamcha for not marrying him, still believing he had genuine feelings for her. This left Bulma frustrated, since Yamcha had never told her about the lie he made up to calm Chi-Chi down when they were both children. Goku remained unaware of the meaning behind her emotional gestures for the rest of the tournament. Later, in the anime, the two went on several adventures to recover the Bansho Fan in order to put out the fire at Chi-Chi's mountain home; though it had already been destroyed in both the manga and the anime. The goal was to save her father, who was protecting her mother's wedding dress for Chi-Chi to wear. By the end of Dragon Ball, she and Goku were happily married, with Chi-Chi wearing her mother's dress. At the age of twenty, Chi-Chi gave birth to her first son. While trying to decide on a name, she suggested Einstein, but nobody liked it. The Ox-King then listed off several names, all of which included the word "Ox," and the baby seemed to dislike those as well. Chi-Chi grew frustrated with Goku for wanting to go fishing instead of helping come up with a name. While she was scolding him, she happened to mention Gohan, the name of Goku's adoptive grandfather. The baby laughed every time he heard it, and the Ox-King pointed this out to the couple. Goku and Chi-Chi both agreed on the name. Saiyan Saga Four years later, during the Saiyan conflict, Chi-Chi's husband Goku was killed in battle while fighting his brother Raditz. Her son Gohan was taken by Piccolo to the Break Wasteland for training to prepare for the Saiyans heading toward Earth. Chi-Chi learned about this after storming into Kame House in a rage. A year passed, and she returned to Kame House, where she fainted after hearing from Master Roshi that Gohan was on the battlefield facing the Saiyans. She regained consciousness but passed out again when she saw Nappa kill the news crew filming the battle. In the anime, she grabbed Launch's guns and tried to go rescue Gohan, but the others stopped her. She watched the battle through Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball until it shattered. She then insisted on going to the battlefield herself and later grabbed Korin by the neck, demanding information about her family. Frieza Saga After the battle ended and Vegeta retreated, Chi-Chi arrived with the other supporters to find her son and her recently revived husband. Both had survived but were seriously injured, with Gohan unconscious after transforming into a Great Ape. She completely ignored Goku, who was near death, and focused entirely on their son. She was angry at Goku for allowing their child to fight against the Saiyans, even though the decision had actually been made by Piccolo. Chi-Chi stayed by Goku's side while he recovered in Wukong Hospital. Gohan, who had already healed, traveled with Krillin and Bulma to Namek to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to revive the fallen Z Fighters. In the anime, after Goku recovered and left for Namek, Chi-Chi gathered Master Roshi, Oolong, Puar, and Yajirobe to try using another spaceship to fly to Namek and rescue Gohan. The ship did not work, so they were forced to stay on Earth. In the manga, Chi-Chi is shown eating with her father at her home. She wonders whether Gohan is studying properly and when both he and Goku will return. The Ox-King reassures her that they are probably already on their way, showing that both are unaware of the battle taking place on Namek. When everyone except Goku and Frieza was transported back to Earth, Chi-Chi was reunited with Gohan. She witnessed Porunga revive the fallen Z Fighters and announce that Goku was still alive. Master Roshi frustratedly suggested that Goku might be avoiding coming back because he was afraid of Chi-Chi, implying that her temper was stronger than a Super Saiyan. In the anime, Chi-Chi arrived at Kame House after catching Gohan sneaking out during his study time. When Garlic Jr. released the Black Water Mist, she was infected and fought Gohan on the roof of Kame House. She was cured along with the rest of Earth by Kami and Mr. Popo using the Sacred Water. After Gohan sealed Garlic Jr. back into the Dead Zone, Chi-Chi tightened security at home to prevent Gohan from sneaking out again. Cell Saga In the anime, Chi-Chi hired an instructor named Mr. Shu to tutor Gohan. She eventually grew angry with him and threw him out through a window with her bare hands after he insulted Goku. After Goku returned from Namek, she had to put up with Piccolo staying at their home so they could train for the upcoming androids. She ended up getting accidentally injured when Goku, forgetting his increased strength, patted her too hard and sent her flying several yards. She reluctantly agreed to let Gohan train for the battle with the androids. In the anime, the added chores became overwhelming, so she forced both Goku and Piccolo to get their driver's licenses. Chi-Chi took care of Goku while he was sick with the heart virus. She and Yamcha transported him to Kame House to hide him from Androids 16, 17, and 18, who were searching for him. When she saw Goku fully standing again, she was overjoyed and ran to hug him. He swung her around in response. Goku asked if Gohan could train with him, and Chi-Chi agreed on the condition that Gohan would study afterward. She later admitted that she said yes because she could not refuse Goku anything due to her love for him. Chi-Chi became a widow once more when Goku died during the Cell Games while protecting Earth. She broke down in tears. She also became frightened and cried while watching Gohan and Cell's Kamehameha clash on TV, fearing for her son's life. In the months following Gohan's victory, Chi-Chi cried herself to sleep for many nights over Goku's death. Majin Buu Saga By Age 774, seven years after Goku's death, Chi-Chi had become noticeably more relaxed and patient. It is implied that she felt guilty for Goku's death, believing that if she had been less strict with Gohan, Goku might have survived. She was no longer as hard on Goten and had also softened toward Gohan, who was now a teenager. She tried to teach Goten how to fight, but when she learned that he could transform into a Super Saiyan, she broke down and shouted, "Not another monster in the family!" Goten then avoided transforming in front of her. When Gohan told her that Goku would return to Earth for one day to take part in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, she was overjoyed. She and Goku both told each other how much they had missed one another. At the tournament, she cheered for her family and spent most of the time arguing with Bulma over whose husband and sons were better. When a fighter named Idasam lost to Trunks and started attacking Bulma, Chi-Chi knocked her out. After the tournament, Chi-Chi joined the others in searching for the Dragon Balls. She later took refuge on Kami's Lookout. Goku informed her that both Vegeta and Gohan had been killed. She took the news hard and broke down crying. When Goku told her he had to return to the Other World, she hugged him and asked how he could say goodbye when Gohan had also been taken from her. Goku reassured her that she still had Goten, who would master Fusion with Trunks and would not be taken from her. Later, Super Buu attacked the Lookout and used the Human Extinction Attack to kill everyone on Earth except those on the Lookout. Chi-Chi confronted Buu, scolded him, and slapped him for killing so many people, including Gohan. Buu turned her into an egg and killed her. Goten was horrified by what he witnessed. She was later revived through the Dragon Balls and contributed her energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb to destroy Kid Buu. When Goku was brought back to life, Chi-Chi was happily reunited with her husband and sons. Goku told her he wanted to live with her and their children, and she hugged him tightly, crying in his arms. He told her he loved her. The family spent the rest of the series in much happier and more peaceful times. Daima Saga In Dragon Ball Daima, Chi-Chi attends Trunks' ninth birthday celebration at Capsule Corporation. During the party, she and everyone else are transformed back into children as a result of Gomah's wish to Shenron. In the credits of the final episode, she is shown standing on a step stool to reach the sink while washing dishes, when she is suddenly restored to her original form. God of Destruction Beerus Saga Six months after Kid Buu was defeated, Chi-Chi insisted that Goku find a well-paying job so they could cover living expenses and hire good teachers for Goten's education. She refused to let him train with King Kai unless he followed through on this agreement. When Mr. Satan gave Goku over a hundred million Zeni as thanks for defeating Buu, Chi-Chi was thrilled and allowed Goku to go train with King Kai, but only on the condition that he return home regularly. At Bulma's birthday party, Chi-Chi learned that Master Roshi and Oolong were looking at women on the beach and put a stop to it, saying it set a bad example for the children. Like Bulma, she was frustrated that Goku had not shown up. She spent time talking with Bulma and Android 18 during the party, and she clapped and cheered along with everyone else after Beerus and Whis arrived. Golden Frieza Saga After the fight with Beerus, Goku begged Chi-Chi to let him go back to King Kai's planet to train, but she refused, saying they were already out of money again. She also reminded him that they had a granddaughter on the way and that he needed to be a good grandfather, not just fight all the time. She was later seen walking through town with Piccolo, carrying a large load of food to Gohan's house to help ensure Videl and the baby got proper nutrition. She had Piccolo help carry the groceries as payment for always eating at their place for free. When Goku panicked at the thought of her seeing him fighting, he asked Mr. Satan to hit him and pretended to be sent flying. Back home, Chi-Chi told Goten that once Goku returned, he would get plenty of "rest," which she clearly meant as punishment. When Krillin was hurt after Goku accidentally injured him, Chi-Chi went over to help treat his wounds alongside Android 18. She later visited Gohan's house and was horrified at how roughly they were handling Pan. Gohan assured her that Pan would be fine since she was part Saiyan, but Chi-Chi insisted that Pan be raised as a gentle girl so she would not end up like another "battle-loving idiot." Mr. Satan argued that he wanted Pan to become a great martial artist and his successor, but Chi-Chi refused to budge. She even kicked Gohan and Mr. Satan out of the house to remove any violent influences. She later calmed down after Videl assured her that Pan could become whatever she wanted. When Goku wanted to go train with Vegeta, Chi-Chi opposed it, believing he should focus on being a good grandfather. When Bulma gave Goku a cell phone to stay in touch about Whis's arrival, Chi-Chi noticed, so Goku said he and Bulma were planning a surprise party for Pan and needed to coordinate. Chi-Chi was delighted that Goku was finally acting like a good grandfather. However, Gohan later told her the truth, and she angrily confronted Goku with him and Goten. Goku said he would only be gone a short time, but Chi-Chi did not believe him. Gohan argued that Goku needed to train to protect Earth, but Chi-Chi insisted he needed to be there for Pan. As Whis prepared to leave, Goku ran after him and grabbed onto him just as he took off. Surprisingly, once Goku was gone, Chi-Chi seemed to accept the situation and wondered about the surprise party for Pan. While Goku and the others fought Frieza, Chi-Chi was at home reading a magazine and eating, unaware that the planet was about to explode. She was killed in the blast, but Whis used his Temporal Do-Over technique to undo it so Goku could defeat Frieza again. She later attended the feast Bulma hosted, surrounded by her family and friends. Universe 6 Saga During the Tournament of Destroyers, Chi-Chi watched from the sidelines for most of the event. She appeared surprised when Goku's attacks failed to hurt Botamo. When Frost threw Goku out of the ring after using poisoned needles, Chi-Chi rushed down to check on him, worried that he might have been killed. She was relieved to see he was okay and looked displeased when Frost came over to apologize. After the tournament ended, while riding back in Whis's cube, she scolded Goku for using inappropriate language in front of Goten. Following the Super Dragon Balls wish, she returned to Earth with the others. Copy Vegeta Saga Chi-Chi attended Bulma's victory party celebrating Universe 7's win, along with her family and friends. When Bulma asked where Gohan and Goku were, Chi-Chi explained that Gohan was busy with academic work and Goku was at his job. She also helped keep Monaka's secret from Goku. When Goku showed up in his work clothes and wanted to fight Monaka, Chi-Chi sent him home to change, giving everyone more time. Beerus praised her quick thinking. When Beerus accused Goku of miscounting his sit ups, Chi-Chi commented that Goku could not count that high. She later watched Beerus fight Goku while wearing a Monaka costume, and the party went on with the secret intact. One evening, Chi-Chi was having dinner with Goku and Goten at home. She noticed Goku was not feeling well and asked if he had a fever or was dying. That night, when Goku still felt unwell, she suggested he ask King Kai for help. Goku agreed and teleported away. Chi-Chi stayed up worrying and planned to make him plenty of food to cheer him up. Goku then crashed back into the house, destroying it and making Chi-Chi furious. The next day, Chi-Chi went with Goku and Goten to Gohan and Videl's house, where Piccolo was watching Pan. She was proud when she learned Gohan had been offered a job as a professor's assistant, saying he would be the first hardworking Saiyan in Universe 7. She scolded Goku for wrecking their home and said that without the money from Mr. Satan, they could not afford repairs. She also mentioned that she had saved the money for Goten's future education, though she lied to Goku about spending it all to push him to work. Before Piccolo left, he gave Chi-Chi detailed instructions on caring for Pan, including her favorite activities and foods. The next morning, Pan went missing, and Piccolo scolded Goku and Chi-Chi for not watching her. They searched for her with Goten's help, and by the time Gohan and Videl returned, Pan had already been found. Chi-Chi guessed she had crawled under the bed or into a closet overnight. When Goten snuck away with Trunks on Monaka's delivery truck and ended up on Planet Potaufeu, Bulma called Chi-Chi to inform her. She was frustrated that Goku was training on King Kai's planet at such a time. When the group returned to Earth, Chi-Chi hugged Goten worriedly and asked if he was hurt. Goten apologized. "Future" Trunks Saga Chi-Chi and her family were preparing to harvest crops that Goku had grown. Piccolo was made to help as Goku, Piccolo, and Goten competed to see who could collect the most. Goten was excited, but Chi-Chi reminded him that he had a test next week and needed to study. As she watched Goku and Piccolo race, Krillin arrived and mentioned that Vegeta had gone to train on Beerus's planet. Goku overheard and immediately stopped the competition to teleport there. Chi-Chi was upset with Krillin for bringing it up and forced him to take Goku's place in the harvest. Later, Chi-Chi and Goten informed Piccolo and Krillin that Future Trunks's Time Machine had arrived at Capsule Corporation and that Goku and Vegeta were trying to figure out what was happening. Assuming something serious had happened in the future, Piccolo and Krillin flew off to investigate. Goten wanted to follow, but Chi-Chi stopped him and told him to study instead. Worried that Goku had not come home, Chi-Chi went with Gohan to the police station to ask Krillin where he was. She had tried calling Bulma but got no answer. Krillin said he did not know, even though he likely suspected Goku was still fighting Black in the future. Chi-Chi mentioned that she had made a lot of food for Goku, which Gohan was carrying in a large pack. Krillin excused himself to go on patrol. Gohan tried to calm her down as they spotted Goten and Trunks flying overhead. Gohan flew Chi-Chi to Capsule Corporation. Once there, she called out to Bulma and demanded to know where Goku was. Bulma acted clueless, so Chi-Chi asked about Goten and Trunks instead, since she had seen them flying earlier. Shu updated Bulma on the time machine, and Bulma told Chi-Chi it was a new product of hers. Goten and Trunks tried to sneak away but were caught by Vegeta, and Chi-Chi started scolding Goten again. When Piccolo and Krillin arrived, Chi-Chi saw Goku emerge with injuries from his battle in the future. She pressed Bulma for answers, and Bulma explained the threats in Future Trunks's timeline, including the history of Goku Black. After Black and Zamasu were defeated, Chi-Chi joined the group in saying goodbye to Future Trunks and Future Mai as they departed for the new future timeline. Tournmanet of Power In the anime, when Goku returned home from farming, Chi-Chi and Goten welcomed him back. Goten asked if he could come along to train, and Goku agreed, offering to take him to Beerus's planet to train with Whis. Chi-Chi stepped in and refused, saying Goten needed to focus on his studies since there was no immediate threat. She also argued that training did not earn any money and that Goten might end up injuring himself like his father. While she continued lecturing about Goten's education and how he should follow Gohan's example of becoming a scholar, Goku and Goten quietly slipped out. Chi-Chi was furious when she realized they had left and yelled after them. Later, Chi-Chi called Bulma and asked her not to let Goten leave with Goku, insisting that he stay with her instead. Bulma relayed the message when she met up with them, so Goten stayed behind to hang out with Trunks. When Chi-Chi learned of Bulma's pregnancy, she went to Capsule Corporation to prepare a feast for the arrival of Bulla. While she was cooking, Goku, Gohan, Mr. Satan, Majin Buu, Beerus, Whis, Shin, and Old Kai returned after watching the Zeno Expo matches and learning the rules of the Tournament of Power. Chi-Chi offered to serve them right away so the food would not get cold, since Bulla had not arrived yet and the birth might take a while. When Chi-Chi noticed Gohan wearing his Turtle Hermit gi, she asked why and grew suspicious that he might be returning to fighting, which she generally disapproved of. Gohan said Videl thought he should spend time with Goku, but Chi-Chi remained uneasy. She later checked on Bulma and advised her to rest as her pregnancy progressed. Whis arrived unexpectedly and used his powers to deliver Bulla early, surprising and impressing everyone present. Chi-Chi was there when everyone congratulated Vegeta and Bulma, and she remarked how cute Bulla was, reminding her of Goten as a baby. After Universe 7's team was assembled for the Tournament of Power and the tournament concluded with their victory, Chi-Chi appeared near the end of the saga. In the credits, it was implied that she was initially alarmed and angry when she saw Goku return home injured, but after he explained the tournament's stakes and what would have happened if they had lost, she seemed to understand. She later attended a large celebration at Capsule Corporation held for Bulla's birth. Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga Chi-Chi spent most of the Moro arc on the Lookout. When Moro merged with the planet and began draining the Earth and its inhabitants, she was nearly killed. She was present when Goku finally destroyed Moro. At the end of the saga, Chi-Chi joined her family at Mr. Satan's house for a full cooked meal. Granolah the Survivor Saga Several months after the battle with Moro, Chi-Chi was approached at her home by two members of the Heeters. They asked for her help in summoning Goku to deal with a new threat. Chi-Chi was hesitant at first, but Macki caught her interest by offering gold to help with their money troubles. At Capsule Corporation, Chi-Chi contacted Goku by making it clear that fighting alone would not earn them any fortune. She met the Heeters again and pointed out that space currency would not be accepted on Earth, so Macki offered to pay her in sky gold instead. Chi-Chi accepted and left, already thinking about how she would start spending the money once she was paid. Peaceful World Saga Ten years after Majin Buu's defeat, Chi-Chi has become a grandmother to Pan and a mother-in-law to Videl, who is now married to Gohan. She attends the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament to support her family. At the end of the series, she is seen feeling stressed over Goku leaving to train Uub.

Name Meaning

The name Chi-Chi is drawn from the Japanese word for "milk." The term chichi can mean either "milk" or "udder," and it also serves as a casual word for "father." This wordplay is acknowledged in the series when Chi-Chi introduces herself to Master Roshi, and he comments on the connection between her name and Bulma's physical attributes.

She allowed Gohan and Goten to participate in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament partly because winning would pay for Gohan's college tuition.

• Negative Opinion of Super Saiyans: Chi-Chi has a negative opinion of Super Saiyans, associating the transformation with delinquency due to its hair color. She mistakenly assumed Gohan and Goku had dyed their hair when she first saw Gohan in Super Saiyan Full Power. She reacted negatively when Goten transformed while sparring.

• Frustrated by Goku's Lack of Financial Contribution: Chi-Chi is frustrated by Goku's tendency to focus on martial arts training instead of contributing financially. She relied on her father's wealth for most of her marriage. She forced Goku to work on their radish farm to earn money. She allowed Goku to train when their family was financially well off.

Goals

• Marry Son Goku (Succeded).
• Make Son Gohan into a scholar (Succeeded).

Relationships

Son Goku

Chi-Chi met Goku when she was young and naive, believing Goku patting her meant that she was meant to marry him.

According to a story she told Gohan, she and Goku had a date shortly after the Pilaf Saga where Goku didn't understand how dates worked and instead fought with her as he thought that was the most pleasurable thing.

She met him again during 23rd Budokai where she learned he forgot all about her due to her not looking the same. She called him out for not fufilling his promise to marry her but he noted he thought marriage meant food. Though Goku does end up accepting marrying her.

They now live together and work as farmers, though Goku is usually off training.

Son Gohan

Gohan is Chi-Chi and Goku's first son and she tried to ban any type of trainign with him, wanting him to grow up to be a scholar.

Due to the various world ending threats however, Chi-Chi eventually had to give in and accept Gohan needing to train to stop the crisis.

Powers and Techniques

Standard Ki AbilitiesUnique Abilities

• Chi Manipulation & Ki Manipulation (All beings in Dragon Ball have ki, the very life force energy of all characters, ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even block attacks that would otherwise kill them from raising their guard, higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them)
  • Aura
    • Projection: A users ki aura can exert itself as a weapon to attack.
    • Explosive: Ki users through powering up can form an entire aura around themself, radiating their immense power, where depending on their immense strength, can cause them to explode their aura outwards to remove excess ki from themself.
    • Mood Reflection: Goku and Piccolo Jr. with their auras and their stern concentration on each other reflected in their electric auras, even shooting electricity at each other.
  • Emotional Empowerment (It's noted that ki users can receive energy through one cheering them on. Ki users can be greatly increased by their emotions and beliefs, Son Goku explains that Son Gohan needs to remember the time he fought Cell and bring out all of the power he has, this way he can lose to no one where it's shown during the Cell beam clash that he was holding back greatly out of fear of destroying the earth but from being cheered on and using all of his power within him, he was able to overpower Cell)
  • Attack Reflection (All Ki users are able to reflect attacks just by being stronger than their opponent. Examples include, Nappa deflecting a masenko from Son Gohan, Son Gohan being able to bounce back the spirit bomb, Son Goku deflecting a crusher ball from Jeice, Frieza deflecting a Final Burst Cannon from Vegeta, Son Goku reflecting multiple death beams back to back from Frieza, and Future Trunks being able to completely repel an energy blast with his hand from a Frieza Soldier just by being much stronger than them)

  • Power Nullification
    • Ki Energy Based: Through having greater ki, one can nullify the powers done through ki attacks, such as Frieza being able to nullify a hakai ball, which fully destroys a target, though he is unable to resist a hakai ball from Toppo due to him being stronger, this ability however only works on ki, attacks unrelated, characters cannot resist through being stronger, such as how Vegeta, Krillin, & Son Gohan are unable to resist Guldo's psychic powers, along with even the likes of Son Goku.
  • Forcefield Creation (Ki users such as Cell can generate forcefields around themselves. These forcefields can be expanded, and used to protect others and defend against attacks far higher then the user. Forcefields effectivel allow the ki user to be able to block substances from other ki techniques, such as poisons. Ki users can also project forcefields around themselves to protect themselves from ki absorptions that require grabbing them and bringing them into one's body)

  • Binding
    • Energy Binding: Ki Users can use their ki to bind targets to objects, making them unable to escape even if they're of equal power, however, those stronger than the ki user can easily break out of it.

  • Non-Standard Interaction

    • Resurrection from Exhaustion: Can heal downed allies to give them ki back, reviving them)

    • Energy Projection (Can shoot energy blast out of their hands through controlling ki)
    • Possible Delayed Effect (Ki users can have their attacks have delayed effects to them, such as when Baby felt the affects of the kamehameha delayed)

Other

Standard Tactics

• Emperor Pilaf Saga: Chi-Chi uses her razor blade along with her laser for attacks.
• 23rd Budokai Saga: Chi-Chi employs a fighting style similar to the Turtle Hermit Style.
• Dragon Ball Z: Chi-Chi normally only fights when angered using much of the similar fighting styles.

Weaknesses

• Standard Ki Weaknesses: Ki users that do not have sufficient training over their emotions put their power within a mental lock, thus affects to their emotions can seriously limit their powers, their emotions can also have them instinctively block using the full power of their attacks out of fear of the destruction along with lack of confidence in themselves. If a Ki user is inflicted with any kind of status, disease, or poison, powering up or transforming will put further strain on the body and can speed up the process of poison. Users of Ki Sensing cannot sense beings that invisible, even if the character is in front of them attacking them, they have a hard time countering them due to being invisible. Users of Ki Sensing also have a harder time sensing the true being using illusions, requiring them to focus in on energy fields to see who is moving and who is casting the illusion. Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, using a large amount of ki overtime can greatly weaken them to the point that characters far lower then them can actually harm them with attacks. Taking large amounts of damage can greatly deplete a ki users attacks, making it where attacks that would otherwise kill massively weakened characters, only pushes them back. Ki users cannot put all of their ki and strength into an attack if parts of their body are broken/injured, they also lose half of their chi if something like one of their arms are badly injured or broken.Ki users that are able to ki sense cannot do it when their guard is dropped, such as when Vegeta was able to sneak attack Son Goku during the end of their fight in the Buu Saga. Despite some ki users being able to reach blasts that can destroy planets through charged attacks or techniques, they have not shown to be able to tank such blasts themselves, with attacks that have destroyed several planets in the series always killing the character. Even characters such as Majin Buu's body cannot withstand the energy of a planet exploding. Using ki volley attacks come with the caveat of their aim being rather poor, making it harder to hit moving targets. If ki users are at all possessed, even by accident, their true self will be sleeping within, with the possessor needing to awaken them. Even if awoken, they are immobilized and unable to move without the possessor giving them the ability to, even with them wanting to wake up, they cannot do it. Specific waves can can suppress a ki users power, and put their consciousness to sleep. If Ki users stamina is broken, they will unable to be able to continue fighting for a short while, this will also cancel out any ki attack they were attempting to use, including ultimate's, this also adds on that ki users guards are down while charging ultimate attacks. Their stamina can also be broken if a character moves far too fast and surprise attacks them while they're charging their ki. Ki Users can also be grabbed out of charging their attacks. When ki users radiate their Ki at its highest, their body is also freed the most, making them open to attacks and making them easy to possess. Ki attacks can be blocked by magma based attacks, such as even when Vegeta's strongest charged blast, the final flash, was being blocked by Magetta's magma. Ki users have far lower reactions and speeds when they do not have their ki up or are not on guard, such as when Mai's sniper would've hit Goku Black if she didn't miss.
• Turtle Hermit Style Weaknesses: As the style does not incorporate any real fighting techniques, it has a heavy reliance on durability, stamina, muscles and speed, along with agility, thus anyone with superior statistics then them can easily overpower this style, along with this any character capable of using attacks that bypass defense altogether such as pressure point strikes can easily overcome a turtle hermit style user, even if they use extra forms and techniques to heighten their defenses. Thus anyone with techniques that ignore statistics or are simply higher in statistics than a Turtle Hermit Style user can easily overcome this style.
• Unique Weaknesses: As a kid Chi-Chi was very naive and impulsive, instantly trying to attack Yamcha upon seeing him. During her time as an adult she has a short temper having her lash out easily.

Note

• Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities Goku use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up.
• The speed scaling for PLs are taken with a grain of salt as there are noticeable times where someone's speed isn't equal to their power, such as Burter being faster then Recoome and Jeice, along with Super Saiyan Grade 3 Trunks having his power greatly increased but his speed decreased.

Explanations

Trivia

• The name Chi-Chi is derived from the Japanese word for milk. In Japanese, "chichi" can mean both "milk" or "udder," and it is also a term for "father." This is acknowledged in the series when Chi-Chi introduces herself to Master Roshi, who remarks that she is called Chi-Chi while Bulma possesses "chi-chis."
  • The name can also mean "God" in some West African and Igbo languages.
  • In the Latin American Spanish dub, Chi-Chi is renamed "Milk" because "chichi" is a colloquial term for breasts in Mexico.
  • In the European Portuguese dub, she is renamed "Kika" because "chi chi" is an informal term for urine in Portuguese.

• Chi-Chi's hobby is farm work.
• Her blood type is AB.
• Her favorite food is Chinese chimaki, also known as zongzi.
• Her favorite vehicle is a tractor.
• The armor Chi-Chi wears as a child resembles the armor worn by Pola from Akira Toriyama's early one-shot manga Pola & Roid.

• In the anime, Goku encounters Chi-Chi multiple times between their first meeting and the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. However, in the manga, Chi-Chi does not reappear after her introduction until the 23rd Tournament, which makes it more understandable why Goku could have forgotten her.

• In the Viz Media translation of volume 15, Oolong comments that Chi-Chi speaks with a "hick accent."

• Chi-Chi's influence over Goku is a recurring gag in the series. Despite being one of the most powerful beings in the universe, Goku is terrified of his wife when she is angry, leading Master Roshi to comment that the only thing a Super Saiyan fears is his wife.

• In a comedic outburst of rage, Chi-Chi produces a Kaio-ken-like aura when using a Kiai after Maron called her an old lady in the Garlic Jr. Saga. She also exhibits a similar aura in Dragon Ball Super when Gohan suggests that Goten fight Goku.
  • It is possible that Gohan inherited his temper from his mother, which, combined with his Saiyan-human hybrid nature, may have contributed to his power being tied to his emotions, particularly rage. While Gohan rarely displays comedic rage, he does show Chi-Chi-like anger when his father suggests using Videl as a bribe for Old Kai, which Gohan angrily refuses.

• In the anime, Chi-Chi has fought nearly every member of her family at some point. She fought Goku in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, fought Gohan while he was under the influence of the Black Water Mist, and fought Goten while training him as a child.

• Chi-Chi refers to Super Saiyans as "delinquents" in anime filler, such as when she discovers Gohan has transformed into a Super Saiyan, and when Goten first transforms, she calls him a monster. She also expresses disdain for Super Saiyans in her commentary in Budokai Tenkaichi 3, again referring to them as "delinquents."
  • Her disapproval of the Super Saiyan form, particularly for Gohan and Goten, reflects a Japanese social taboo, where dyeing one's hair blonde is often viewed as an act of rebellion against family values, due to its association with Western culture.

• Chi-Chi is also the name of a Slime character in the animated adaptation of Dragon Warrior III, a video game that featured character designs by Akira Toriyama.

• Beat's mother from the Victory Mission manga strongly resembles Chi-Chi in both appearance and personality. Since Beat is revealed to be a descendant of Goku in World Mission, it is possible that he is descended from Goku through his maternal line, as her resemblance to Chi-Chi may be hereditary. However, unlike Goku Jr., it is not specified which of Goku and Chi-Chi's sons Beat is descended from.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: What about the planetary feats in Dragon Ball?

A: Planetary feats are normally done through their strongest charged blast, where they can gather ki to shoot out blast far beyond what the character is normally capable of, with blasts capable of seriously damaging/destroying the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent, though they themselves are never capable of leaving this unscathed.

ExamplesNon-Planetary Showings

Frieza throws a destroy the planet death ball attack but it doesn't destroy the planet. Goku then interestingly notes the reason the planet didn't blow up is because Frieza was too scared of getting caught in the blast . Vegeta's final flash is noted it's going to destroy the planet and Perfect Cell, who is beyond Vegeta, couldn't tank the blast and had to dodge it last second or it would've killed him. Goku's kamehameha was going to destroy the earth and Cell cannot tank this blast, needing to regenerate. Semi-Perfect Cell explosion was consistently noted it was going to destroy the planet and Gohan and it killed Goku. Ultimate Gohan dies to an attack that destroys the earth, his guard was up too since this was when he was fighting Super Buu. Kid Buu shoots a blast trying to destroy the planet, with Vegeta noting he's going to take himself out with it if he lets it off. In Dragon Ball GT, Great Ape Baby Vegeta shoots a super galick gun that he claims will destroy Earth, when Goku is hit by it, he is knocked out to the point that he can't move for a good while, Elder Kai and Shin later state that Baby is going to shoot another blast that will destroy the planet on, greatly injuring Baby if he's caught in the Blast and will kill everyone on the planet if done. Frieza destroyed the entire earth, killing Vegeta in the process. In the Dragon Ball Super Manga, Gohan tells Goku that he doesn't need to hold anything back and can go all out because anything that happens to the Earth can be restored with Dende and the Dragon Balls. Yet, none of Goku's all out attacks destroy the planet but just heavily causes shockwaves around it. Semi-Perfect Cell unleashes a several blast that destroys several islands Android 16 notes that the attacks are just strong enough to not kill Android 18.

In the fight of Trunks vs. Mecha Frieza, who is far stronger than his final form, Mecha Frieza immediately goes for his strongest attack, the Supernova. In the original Z anime King Kai even states this is ten times stronger than the power he used on Namek:

• DBZ Kai Version.
• Original DBZ Anime Version. The attack is directly noted that it could destroy the planet, but doesn't because Trunks catches it, when Mecha Frieza proceeds to detonate it, the explosion is massive but the planet is still intact, implying Frieza must target the core in order to destroy the planet.
