The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time, we're revisiting Chichi to review her role in the Great Demon King Piccolo arc!

Story

When Chichi first met Goku long ago while he was travelling to and from Fry-pan Mountain during his quest for the Dragon Balls, she made a promise with him to someday become his wife.
Now seven years later, Chichi is almost unrecognizable, having grown from a child into a young woman!
She becomes impatient of waiting for Goku to return for her hand in marriage, so she enters the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai anonymously to confront him.
She even bumps into him at the staging area of the preliminary matches, but the young Saiyan seems to have no idea who she is, earning him a furious earful before she storms off!

(Tale 167)

Chichi rises through the preliminaries and ends up facing Goku during the main event.
Indignant that Goku had completely forgotten his promise to marry her, she comes out swinging right from the word go with an astonishing flurry of attacks! However, she is defeated in the end via ring out when Goku uses a Shockwave to push her out of the arena.
