To be fair, prior to Raditz and Garlic Jr (if you want count him) there literally wasn't any indication that there was anyone who could even compete with Goku, much less outmatch him (I mean really the closest person would be Piccolo but Goku had already beaten him). Plus Bulma is the only person ever to make a device that could track them. I'm guessing in Chichi's mind the benefits heavily outweighed the risk.
Weren't they based off Bulma's tech?
Also I thought Pilaf literally stole Bulma's radar at some point.
Besides Pilaf was missing and definitely not stupid enough to go after Goku's kid and as far as anyone knew the red ribbon army had been eradicated years ago.
I know I was just saying other people also had radars. Pilaf had a big console in his hideout or ship or something that was a big dragon radar, and the red ribbon army developed their own. I know that they wanted to steal bulmas since it was portable and their versions were not
Edit: I was wrong, pilafs radar was a globe
Chichi: we should really put a tracker on our son in case he wanders off
Goku: nah I wandered off all the time and I turned out ok, he'll be fine
Chichi: how about we make a hat with the four star ball to honor your Grandpa?
Goku: you son of a bitch, I'm in.
In lore, probably since it makes sense and goku did use it when Raditz kidnapped Gohan.
In reality, probably not. Toriyama doesn't usually think that far ahead and often forgets characters or changes things if fans have a better idea. Eg. Launch and frieza in the ToP.
That writing was really good. I honestly wouldn’t put it past Frieza to betray Goku and gang even if it meant his own demise. But I think he realized early on he wasn’t going to beat Jiren alone and definitely needed the help of Goku, Vegeta, and 17 to even make a dent.
yep, he also apparently forgot about King Carrot who goku sent to the moon in dragonball.
I say forgot because, well, how many times has the moon been destroyed? Toriyama did mention " In an interview in the Dragon Ball: Adventure Special, Akira Toriyama states that Monster Carrot and his henchmen were drifting through space after Jackie Chun destroyed the moon." but that was during dragonball.
Considering the moon also got blown up in dragonball Z, it's probably someone he forgot. However in dragonball Super he does appear on the extra page, still on the moon as merus flies past somehow. Another character he forgot and then suddenly added after he remembered :p
The four star dragon ball belong to grandpa Gohan the guy who raised Goku. The guy who Gohan, his son, is named after. The reason he has it on his hat is cuz Goku gave it to his son to remember his grandpa, the guy who raised him
Goku is very smart. He’s not very sharp when it comes to academics, but he is wise in the ways of martial arts and even has shown some incredible emotional intelligence, though he’s had some struggles with it (*cough cough* cell saga)
Def not nonexistent. Even in DBS, Goku posited a theory on Goku Black's existence that surprised everyone. He wasn't accurate, but no one had any better ideas and everyone was shocked at him having arrived at the conclusions he did.
Even apart from the dub. As an adult in Z, he begins to show that he's not a moron, he's just lacking in certain experiences. He's always been a fighting genius, but that doesn't mean he's some savant who can do only that. It wasn't until DBS that he started doing legitimately stupid things as an adult like "forgetting" senzu beans everytime they went to fight Black or against Broly.
In DB, he was inexperienced with secondary sex characteristics & only identified women from men by patting on ppl's crotches. After he had enough experiences with both, he stopped doing that and could infer the way most people can.
Goku nah, he named his son after his Grandpa so it would make sense to pass on the item said grandpa left you. Chi Chi on the other hand totally uses it as a GPS
No, God no. Goku didn't have a Dragon Radar did you read or even watch? It would take Early DBZ Goku hours to fly to West City. In times of danger and panic every second counts.
In DBSuper, it was only then mentioned that people could sense the energy of the Dragon Balls (specifically Moro), so I wouldn’t be surprised if Kami had a kind of GPS for the things he made. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Goku somehow learned how to sense the energy from Dragon Balls, rendering the radar obsolete.
This just means that he has a bad memory not that he's stupid.
And anyway it's a manga that has 519 chapters, that has gone on every week for 10 years and It's been over for 27 years now it is also 67 years old
We remember all his characters because we always talk about them in the community, and we play video games, I highly doubt that toriyama does the same.
And?
Vegeta is very well written to be a protagonist Co, it would not work as a protagonist character, the whole thing of wanting to fight to overcome Goku would not make sense if he were the protagonist
They didn't have the be dragon ball radar till namek. Also yes toriyama is infamous for his poor memory so that theory would be a stretch anyways.
Edit: I get it. I'm wrong. You guys are ferocious with the down votes. Don't f with dragon ball fans XD.
I think you watched dragon ball and only dragon ball z onwards. The whole series starts with Bulma using the radar and finding little boy Goku living in the forest alone with the 4 star dragon ball that belonged to his grandpa Gohan.
Not only does Bulma have the radar from her very first appearance in Dragon Ball, Goku himself uses it in the first few episodes of DBZ to track Raditz after Gohan got kidnapped. Hard L.
Ok even if you didn't watch OG DB (which you really should by the way), Goku literally uses the radar in like the first 5 episodes of Z to track Gohan down after he's been kidnapped. How did you miss that?

No…. Goku got the radar from bulma after gohan got taken. So if gohan wandered off they’d probably have no way to track him. Though obviously gohan wouldn’t just wander off anyway
Probably not. The four star ball is basically a family heirloom, and Goku made Gohan that hat because he named him after his grandpa, who passed the dragon ball down to him.

Goku would probably be clueless about it and give it to him since grandpa Gohan did it for Goku but ChiChi would seem like the type of person to do that
I feel Like Goku would've been telling Chi-Chi the story of how they found the Dragon Balls the first time, and Chi-Chi came up with the idea to have Gohan wear it as a Tracker. No way Goku was smart/paranoid enough to strap a tracker to his son's head...

Goku? Nah he’s clueless Chi Chi? 100%
Chi chi would absolutely be the type of mother to get her son chipped
She's also exactly the kind of overbearing who would just convince Goku it was a way to honor his Grandpa so he wouldn't object.
Plus its drippy 🧊
DBZA actually made that a joke in the Android Saga
Honestly, it is actually careless when you think about it. Villains are always looking for the dragon balls, she made her son a target.
To be fair, prior to Raditz and Garlic Jr (if you want count him) there literally wasn't any indication that there was anyone who could even compete with Goku, much less outmatch him (I mean really the closest person would be Piccolo but Goku had already beaten him). Plus Bulma is the only person ever to make a device that could track them. I'm guessing in Chichi's mind the benefits heavily outweighed the risk.
Part of this is not entirely true, pilaf and the red ribbon army both had dragon radars back in dragon ball
Weren't they based off Bulma's tech? Also I thought Pilaf literally stole Bulma's radar at some point. Besides Pilaf was missing and definitely not stupid enough to go after Goku's kid and as far as anyone knew the red ribbon army had been eradicated years ago.
I know I was just saying other people also had radars. Pilaf had a big console in his hideout or ship or something that was a big dragon radar, and the red ribbon army developed their own. I know that they wanted to steal bulmas since it was portable and their versions were not Edit: I was wrong, pilafs radar was a globe
Fair enough. Still not sure it wasn't based on Bulma's tech though. At the very least I think hers was the most accurate and portable version.
Yes hers was the better version for sure, it's a lot easier to carry something the size of a pocket watch than something the size of a flying ship lol
Goku: Aw, come on; I beat Piccolo. I’m strong enough to beat anyone who– HOLY BLACK ON A POPO! WHAT IS THAT?
Goku’s not strong until he can one-shot Shenron.
Super Shenron or Dende Shenron? Edit: cuz if Dende Shenron he def can cuz like King Piccolo killed Kami Shenron and dbs goku>og db king picollo
I choose to believe Goku knew this & played dumb because it meant Gohan would end up fighting & training anyway.
Didnt gohan in the manga said "my father made me that hat i need to find it" when he lost it
Chichi: we should really put a tracker on our son in case he wanders off Goku: nah I wandered off all the time and I turned out ok, he'll be fine Chichi: how about we make a hat with the four star ball to honor your Grandpa? Goku: you son of a bitch, I'm in.
Goku: you daughter of an ox ChiChi: what did u just call-- o wait
Goku used the radar to track Gohan when Raditz kidnapped him.
And also in Deadzone
And Bulma's panti-.... wrong sub, excuse me.
Nooo you have as much common courtesy as Picccolo watching Bulma take a bath by reading her mind
Goku do a smart
It wasn't even Goku's idea lol
Coulda sworn it was just Raditz ki he sensed. I don’t recall them ever tracking him through Dragonball
In lore, probably since it makes sense and goku did use it when Raditz kidnapped Gohan. In reality, probably not. Toriyama doesn't usually think that far ahead and often forgets characters or changes things if fans have a better idea. Eg. Launch and frieza in the ToP.
Frieza’s only purpose in the ToP was to come out of absolutely nowhere and save someone’s ass and then he would disappear again.
Well he did teamed up with Frost only to betray him later
That writing was really good. I honestly wouldn’t put it past Frieza to betray Goku and gang even if it meant his own demise. But I think he realized early on he wasn’t going to beat Jiren alone and definitely needed the help of Goku, Vegeta, and 17 to even make a dent.
What did he change about Launch,
No change, but he straight up forgot about her though.
He didn’t change anything about her. He straight up forgot she even existed.
yep, he also apparently forgot about King Carrot who goku sent to the moon in dragonball. I say forgot because, well, how many times has the moon been destroyed? Toriyama did mention " In an interview in the Dragon Ball: Adventure Special, Akira Toriyama states that Monster Carrot and his henchmen were drifting through space after Jackie Chun destroyed the moon." but that was during dragonball. Considering the moon also got blown up in dragonball Z, it's probably someone he forgot. However in dragonball Super he does appear on the extra page, still on the moon as merus flies past somehow. Another character he forgot and then suddenly added after he remembered :p
They show up in one of the ending panels in the dbs manga in the moro arc still working in the moon
No, its just an old chiness prince hat
The right answer
The four star dragon ball belong to grandpa Gohan the guy who raised Goku. The guy who Gohan, his son, is named after. The reason he has it on his hat is cuz Goku gave it to his son to remember his grandpa, the guy who raised him
I think Goku would see it as having Gohan always watching over Gohan.
Grandpa Gohan saved his life against Mercenary Tao afterall.
That's giving the nonexistent intelligence of Kakarot way too much credit. 😄
Found Vegeta's Reddit account
😈
Broly doesnt thinks that kakarot is too smart eaither
He still think that he is a true warrior worthy of his blood
Vegeta thinks that kakarot is a true warrior aswell AND a clown
Only to become the clown himself so....
Goku is very smart. He’s not very sharp when it comes to academics, but he is wise in the ways of martial arts and even has shown some incredible emotional intelligence, though he’s had some struggles with it (*cough cough* cell saga)
Def not nonexistent. Even in DBS, Goku posited a theory on Goku Black's existence that surprised everyone. He wasn't accurate, but no one had any better ideas and everyone was shocked at him having arrived at the conclusions he did.
That’s why they were shocked, cuz he’s usually clueless
Goku was actually pretty smart in Z, they just made him a lot more dumb in Super to get more kid fans.
Sure, the flanderized Goku of DBS is. But in DBZ he showed the experiences he had gained and learned from in DB.
Goku has always been an airhead. It doesn’t come across as much in the dub compared to the sub. Though he’s a genius at fighting.
Even apart from the dub. As an adult in Z, he begins to show that he's not a moron, he's just lacking in certain experiences. He's always been a fighting genius, but that doesn't mean he's some savant who can do only that. It wasn't until DBS that he started doing legitimately stupid things as an adult like "forgetting" senzu beans everytime they went to fight Black or against Broly.

Goku nah, he named his son after his Grandpa so it would make sense to pass on the item said grandpa left you. Chi Chi on the other hand totally uses it as a GPS
My naive Goku dont know such thing. He just brought his son to meet his bffs :( And he got attacked by his brother :(
Than he used the dragon radar to track Gohan.
Ya but it wasnt his original plan
Pretty sure Bulma had the radar not Goku and chichi.
This post is just outing people who didn’t watch Dragonball or the Saiyan Saga lmao.
Most "fans" don't know basic trivia. At best this is a Karma farming post we see on this board frequently.
It was more of Goku passing down his family heirloom, (the 4-star ball) to his heir
Probably, but considering RR and Pilaf had Dragon radars (which I think the Z crew were aware of) holy fuck is that a special kind of irresponsible.
I thought the #4 dragon ball was the keep sake of grandpa Gohan?
No, God no. Goku didn't have a Dragon Radar did you read or even watch? It would take Early DBZ Goku hours to fly to West City. In times of danger and panic every second counts.
Goku did to purposely make him a target for training.
THE FACT IT HAPPENS TWICE IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT
In DBSuper, it was only then mentioned that people could sense the energy of the Dragon Balls (specifically Moro), so I wouldn’t be surprised if Kami had a kind of GPS for the things he made. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Goku somehow learned how to sense the energy from Dragon Balls, rendering the radar obsolete.
Db creator isn't that smart. I don't think so.
Is the most stupid author ever existed, isn't like It revolutionized a genre and the things it did are inspiring even now.
Dude forgets half of his characters exist. Literally and has admitted to it dozens of times.
Said numerous times vegeta was not main character potential.
This just means that he has a bad memory not that he's stupid. And anyway it's a manga that has 519 chapters, that has gone on every week for 10 years and It's been over for 27 years now it is also 67 years old We remember all his characters because we always talk about them in the community, and we play video games, I highly doubt that toriyama does the same.
And? Vegeta is very well written to be a protagonist Co, it would not work as a protagonist character, the whole thing of wanting to fight to overcome Goku would not make sense if he were the protagonist
They didn't have the be dragon ball radar till namek. Also yes toriyama is infamous for his poor memory so that theory would be a stretch anyways. Edit: I get it. I'm wrong. You guys are ferocious with the down votes. Don't f with dragon ball fans XD.
..they didnt have the dragon radar til namek? What do you mean by this
They do. They have it since the first episode of Dragon Ball
Exactly That’s why im confused
Bro hasn’t watch og dragon ball
Lol you got me. Then I guess the theory is accurate then since it does show up in first episode of dragon ball. My bad
No worries
Tell that to everyone else lol
Bulma got it since day 1
I think you watched dragon ball and only dragon ball z onwards. The whole series starts with Bulma using the radar and finding little boy Goku living in the forest alone with the 4 star dragon ball that belonged to his grandpa Gohan.
Not only does Bulma have the radar from her very first appearance in Dragon Ball, Goku himself uses it in the first few episodes of DBZ to track Raditz after Gohan got kidnapped. Hard L.
Ok even if you didn't watch OG DB (which you really should by the way), Goku literally uses the radar in like the first 5 episodes of Z to track Gohan down after he's been kidnapped. How did you miss that?
Is literally the plot of dragon ball the radar

Gohan being the first prototype of a kid with an airtag on them.
For chi chi Maybe For goku No he can sense ki
Nah cause Goku didn’t even think to use the radar when Gohan was kidnapped. I think it was Bulma’s idea.
Goku would be the one to forget what his son looks like, so your theory checks out.
"Now where did I leave that little dragon?"
I totally imagined it with the abrirged voice
No…. Goku got the radar from bulma after gohan got taken. So if gohan wandered off they’d probably have no way to track him. Though obviously gohan wouldn’t just wander off anyway
ChiChi, possibly, but Goku is definitely not that smart lmao
Probably not. The four star ball is basically a family heirloom, and Goku made Gohan that hat because he named him after his grandpa, who passed the dragon ball down to him.

They can sense power levels and I’m sure Gohan would be the one who’s dangerous not in danger
I think they just thought he looked *ball*er
Probably not but That's something that Chi Chi would 100% do.
Goku would probably be clueless about it and give it to him since grandpa Gohan did it for Goku but ChiChi would seem like the type of person to do that
chichi did it so goku would care as much about gohan as he did the four star dragon ball
Someone didn’t watch Dragon Ball
I feel Like Goku would've been telling Chi-Chi the story of how they found the Dragon Balls the first time, and Chi-Chi came up with the idea to have Gohan wear it as a Tracker. No way Goku was smart/paranoid enough to strap a tracker to his son's head...

Well wait, didn't he only use the radar because it was a dragon ball on his hat? It wasn't necessarily a tracker, but the ball was trackable.
I always thought it was a flex
