Interview with IGNMembers of the “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero”Voice actors spoke about themes such as parenthood and finding family, which underpin the animated film. Kyle Hebert, Gohan’s voice, summarized the conversation with this statement: “It’s definitely true that Piccolo is pretty much [Gohan’s] real dad through thick and thin. Not that Goku doesn’t love Gohan, he obviously very much does, but he’s busy off saving the universe.”Christopher Sabat, Vegeta’s voice and Piccolo’s, did some Goku’s favor by defending him. He said that Goku had never had a father figure, so he didn’t have an example to follow in his time as a parent. “And whereas Piccolo comes from a kind of a tribal mentality where they all are grouped together,” Sabat continued. “It would make sense that Piccolo would take on this kind of nurturing sensibility that Goku isn’t able to have.”
Sean Schemmel (the voice of Goku) admitted that he was trying to make it all clear. “Akira Toriyama recently just settled the bet on, ‘Is Goku a bad father?’, and basically said in an interview like last year that he’s not the best. So Piccolo is really the driving force.”Most of the time, the “Dragon Ball”Although Goku is the main character of the franchise’s story, that doesn’t mean he isn’t worthy of criticism. As the cast mentioned, he’s a dutiful hero, sure, but he’s an abysmal father — the ultimate conclusion of every fantasy hero’s story arc (we’re still salty about Aang).
