Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #229: Idasa's Mother
Idasa's Mother
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week we're taking a closer look at the ill-mannered martial arts matriarch, Idasa's Mother!
Story
The mother of Idasa and Ikose, who both competed in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai junior division.
Fiercely supportive of her sons, yet notoriously competitive about them, she is known for her sharp tongue and shrill voice.
(Tale 432)
From the stands she cheers on her eldest son Idasa, mocking his opponent Trunks by yelling, "He can't even cut loose against that baby!" Bulma isn't one to let that slide and fires back, "Just mop up that jerk!!!"
(Tale 432)
This leaves her angrily muttering, "...How crude...", but her bravado is shattered the moment Idasa is effortlessly defeated by Trunks, leaving her reeling in disbelief as she lets out a piercing scream.
(Tale 432)
The action only escalates when her younger son Ikose steps in the ring against Goten.
She wastes no time spurring him on, shouting, "Don't be like your brother and drop your guard!!" Chichi, who is within earshot, responds by calling out to her own son, saying, "Go easy on 'im Goten!!" This of course infuriates Idasa and Ikose's mother.
(Tale 433)
After witnessing Ikose's crushing defeat by Goten, she is unable to contain her rage, declaring, "I'll shut you up!!!" and lunging toward Bulma only to get knocked senseless with a well-placed punch to the face from Chichi.
(Tale 433)
First Appearance
"Dragon Ball" Tale 432
Trivia
A family of ill-bred urchins?
After Idasa's defeat to Trunks, and with Goten being paired against her younger son, Ikose, she complains, "Peh, both of my lovely boys forced to dirty their hands on these ill-bred urchins. Sickening!" The irony, of course, is that both Idasa and Ikose themselves act like the true "ill-bred urchins", hurling insults at and trash-talking Trunks and Goten.
