I apologize if this topic title is a bit long, but I've never completely gotten why people think that Piccolo was a much better father than Goku. People say that Piccolo practically raised Gohan, when this is far from true. I mean face it. Piccolo has been with Gohan for at least a total of 4 to 5 years. Of course you could count the 7 year gap, but I doubt Piccolo actually spend some time with him. Maybe here and there every few days to visit him. Don't forget that when they also met he put Gohan through brutal torture by surviving in the wilderness for about 6 months. Then the other 6 mnoths he trained him and was most likely harsh on him. The other 3 years came from him spending time with Gohan by training for the androids. If you think about it, Piccolo hasn't really been there. Sure he may have been there for emotional support (I think) and cared for him, but to be a better father than Goku? I also think people forget that Goku raised Gohan for the first 4 years of his life. Then after he came back from Yadrat spent another 3 years with him. 1 year worth of time in the HTC, 10 days resting for the Cell games and then, he missed 7 years of his son life. Yep.... that sucks, but then he stayed for another 10. Thinking about it Goku has been there for Gohan longer than he hasn't (even Goten, too) and while it was all due to training he still spent time with his son and he also loved him very much! I just don't get how Piccolo practically raised Gohan. So... the question is, how can Piccolo be a better father figure than Gohan? Gohan clearly idolized his dad just as much as Piccolo... if not more. Soooo.... Can someone tell me how? |

I wouldn't say any of them are the superior "father". Goku was mostly the easy-going buddy, while Piccolo was the strict teacher. So, Gohan essentially had a father split in two. |

Because, Gohan asks for a gi like Piccolo's and actually uses Piccolo's moves most of the time(Masenko). That and unlike Goku who threw Gohan in to effectively get murdered by Cell and just shrugged it off, Piccolo was horrified and about to jump in, even though he had no hope of winning |

Here is the real answer, Since Gohan is a Hybrid or Half-Saiyan,he has dual Personality or emotions.One side of the coin is the Saiyan side and the other side of the coin is the Human side. Hence he has 2 fathers Goku is there for him,so that Gohan can understand his Saiyan Side. Piccolo is there for him,so that Gohan can understand his Human Side. And Vegeta is his uncle. |

Essentially Piccolo was there for him. Goku was there for like 4 years to start. Then Raditz came, Goku missed a year. They went off to Namek, Goku chose to miss another year. They spent 3 years together as a trio. Then Goku got the ROSAT year in. Then he chose to bounce for 7 more. Goku seemed less observant or better word for it understanding of Gohan than most of the other male figures in his life. Piccolo freaks at the cell incident because he just gets he's a scared kid. Vegeta gets so pissed off while Goku ignores the fall off vs Dabura at first because Vegeta in his weird uncleish way has expectations for the kid he's seen grow up. Krillin, especially when they throw in the filler is basically a brother to him or tag team partner. Goku was more of a cool, he's my son, but oh well, I love everyone guy. That's see when he scoops up Hercule and can't even get that he left his sons and trunks to die. |

I just always thought that Gohan deserved Piccolo gi more than Goku's. I mean Goku had one from his masters while Piccolo had his own and Gohan actually trained under Piccolo.. so it would make more sense to me, to wear his rather than Goku (which wasn't even his.) Considering that Gohan never trained under Goku masters. @CheckMateIzGod I have no idea how to respond to multiple people at once, but that literally makes no sense. Piccolo doesn't even understand much about humans and Goku barely know anything about his 'saiyan side' besides his love for fighting and eating (I guess?) |
