I believe Saiyans had a big culture of femdom, and thus he took to the idea very quickly

Saiyans actually just do it and leave, male or female, outside of the Royal family, that's why Vegeta actually is a good Husband and Goku is apparently a huge rear end in a top hat to ChiChi -- besides the fact that Toriyama hates her.

Hey legit question about DBZ/DBS, why does Goku never teach anyone else Instant Transmission? Like, Goku's an idiot so clearly he'd never think to offer, but it's so fuckin' nifty, surely someone wants to learn.

pretty sure instant transmission is author bs, like loving Beerus has to piggyback on Whis to get around

Bardock and his wife Gine had a very loving relationship (aside from producing Radtiz).

Basically Goku is Grandpa Gohan's fault.

Whis moves a lot drat faster than Instant transmission, which I'm nearly 100% certain is described as "speed of light" at one point or another.

If Goku was actually raised by Gine and Bardock maybe, but he was just grown in a pod and launched into space. Raditz probably had more social understanding than Goku, and all he learned from Gohan is to try to be nice to girls - for some reason - before those lessons were cut short by Goku killing him as a giant ape.

eh, no idea. "instant" would seem to imply otherwise and Goku seems to just zip all over the place with it. :shrug:

Let's be clear, Whis is like the most powerful being ever and he pals around with Beerus because he just wants to have fun.

Goku's waaaay faster than Whis, as long as he has a power to transport to. The Yardratians have abilities gods don't... somehow.

Supreme Kai has a better Instant Transmission than Goku though.

Like goku knows instant transmission, fine, that's not to say whis doesn't but even assuming he doesn't he can obviously react instantly to it or goku would have hosed up whis

I don't even know what "better" instant transmission means

Both are technically spoilers I guess, but we see it happen in Super and I think late Buu saga.

edit: I meant Goku's instant transmission gets him places faster than Whis' travel.

I wish DBZ had been even a little bit cheeky and subversive when it comes to poo poo like this. It'd have been hilarious to have the ED music start playing when Pui Pui launches his attack, have the narrator start going on, and then have Vegeta blow him the gently caress away before he finishes a sentence. Record scratch. Narrator starts over.
