Look at how parallel these two are. 😂

However, Goku's humble when it's Kuririn. Three years after, he totally eats up Chichi's compliments. Like wth Goku, we all know - you know you're a goofball. 😂

P.S. I am still in love with Piccolo’s very expressive facial expressions.

Part 1 is here.

Ask for her hand? He has no idea what that means. What is that? It seems like a big deal. Did he promise it? Why did he? Chichi stops her attacks and he grabs the chance to ask his friends what exactly it is that he's promised.

It's explained to him and he's shocked. Did he really make that promise? He doesn't even know her! Or does he? He doesn't want to live with her if he doesn't even know who she is. He only knows that she's certainly not boring and can fight well. Okay, he thinks, that's not too bad. She's cool and her smile made him feel nice. They can spar an- but wait he still had to clear this up. Only thing is, the last time he asked her who she was, she got mad! What a pinch! He doesn't remember and she won't tell him. That's it, he decides, whether he promised or not, to clear this up, he'll just have to convince her to tell her who she is.

He pleads with her to tell him who she is and she gives the easiest solution. This instantly makes Goku feel relieved and excited because he'll finally learn who she is.

Heh. He's not surprised that she's so confident that she can take him on. Given how she's acted so far, she's certainly not one to back down in a fight, after all. He gives her a warning though because strong as she is, well, he's just stronger.

He has the perfect technique. He just needs to send her out of the ring, after all. He doesn't want to hurt her. Man, the only reason he even let this battle drag on was so he could figure out why she was mad in the first place and basically have all his questions answered. And yeah, it was fun, too. But he really wanted to know who she was now. This was hitting two birds with one stone. He wins the match and he finally knows who she is.

It all goes according to plan. Except Goku maybe put a little too much force in it and he immediately checks on her. He's kinda nervous 'cause she might get mad again. But thankfully, she's not mad. In fact, Goku notes, she's actually impressed by him.

She finally reveals who she is, as promised. And he remembers. He knows exactly who she is. She rode Nimbus with him and they went to get the Bansho fan from Master Roshi. She made him fall off Nimbus twice. The first time was because she gripped his tail and the second, she kicked him off. She tested Master Roshi by throwing her blade and- oh yeah, yup, he did say he'd take her hand.

Ah, he grimaces in his mind. He thought she was offering him food then. Ha. But it was a promise, he thought - live with her though? Yeah. He did already decide it wouldn't be bad, definitely not boring. Judging by her numerous facial expressions alone, he mused, he'd definitely have a lot of fun. She had made him curious about this whole thing, too. And he'd be able to fulfill his promise.

He steps up to her, curious and wanting to observe what expression she'll make next. Then tells her that they better get married and she smiles again. And somehow, Goku just knows he's made a good decision.

Okay, but imagine this. Goku's just chillin' with his friends and then he gets tapped on the shoulder. He turns around and this girl just gives him the brightest smile. She's standing close so he gets a good full view of her face and he's curious at how such a sweet gesture was randomly directed at him.

So he opens his mouth and asks who she is, but his words end up erasing the smile. He sees her face change from shock to anger in a few seconds.

She screams her rage at him and he finds himself floored? confused? curious? because what did he do? It doesn't help that his friends keep insisting that he probably knows her from before. Because wha- he bet he'd remember if he'd met her before. She obviously would leave an impression.

Goku tries to jog his memory - on top of thinking about Piccolo and winning his matches. It doesn't help that his friends keep noticing the girl and saying she's pretty and hot. It makes him feel sorta bad because what did he do to make her angry? Especially when she could be smiling like how he saw her first, ya know? She specifically smiled at him, too. That felt nice. But also, was it really his fault? Was it really something he did?

She makes it into the top 8. He doesn't expect much from her though because he honestly hasn't encountered a girl who practiced proper martial arts. There was a girl in the 21st Budokai but she just distracted her opponents with her body. Bulma uses her in inventions. Lunch uses weapons. Chichi, Gyu-mao's daughter, kicked him off Nimbus, but she uses a helmet for a weapon, too.

He continues to wonder throughout the tournament and finds himself matched with her to fight. He's sorta relieved and happy 'cause he'll get a chance to ask her why she's mad, then maybe clear things up 'cause he doesn't want to continue feeling bad about something he didn't do nor does he want to be the reason she stays mad like that. He'd rather she smiled. He decides to ask her about it during the match.

He's also confident the match will be easy for him. Inventions and weapons aren't allowed and if she tries something like distracting him with her body, well that stuff didn't work on him. Even if she was pretty and hot, like his friends say.

Well guess what? The moment the match begins, Chichi immediately delivers a proper kick his way. 😂 He's surprised at her proper martial arts form. Because let's be real, Goku is not whoa-ing because he's surprised of the attacks, he's quick and way stronger than her. No, he's surprised because she's a girl who's actually fighting properly. Well, except for the shouting - but that is his fault 'cause he started asking questions.

He continues to dodge and realizes that this girl could actually hurt him if he let his guard down. She's actually fighting similar to his martial arts style, a style which his master Roshi and his grandpa used. And she's doing it well. Now, Goku's convinced that he's never met her before. If he did, he definitely would remember. So he asks her again, "are you sure we've met before?"

She answers accordingly... with anger and he keeps asking. Uh, he thinks, might as well ask, so he can make it right, if he really did do something to make her mad. She's probably not a liar, at least he hoped so.

Then she mentions a promise and Goku starts to panic. Has he made a promise that he forgot? That would've been horrible of him to do, he could kinda understand why she's mad. He jumps high up in the air, hoping to get a little breather and think and maybe figure out what promise he could've possibly forgotten. She surprises him again though. She jumps right after him and continues attacking - still in good martial arts form. He's impressed and finds himself having to dodge quickly again, being caught off guard that this girl just followed him into the air and hasn't once stopped sending hits since their match started.

He knew he had to make things right if he made a promise so he asks her what this promise is.

Yah know where we last see him? Oh he was walking inside with Chichi.

Yamcha was wearing the same set of clothes but Goku still didn't recognize him. Here, I think it was only his hair that was changed. I'm beginning to see why some people's hc is that Goku has face blindness (prosopagnosia).

Later he even argues with Yamcha that Jackie Chun can't be Roshi because of the hair. So he looks at hair primarily to recognize people?

But we'll see I guess. I'm still far off from finishing this after all.
