Her Good Ranking[]
Her Heroic Deeds[]
In General[]
- She can ride the Nimbus Cloud, something that only people with a pure of heart can ride and have no selfish desires.
- Ever since she first met Goku, she's only into him and no one else. Because of that, she wants to be very faithful towards him. (Not even Goku's temporary deaths can change her mind.)
- She helped Goku retrieve the Basho Fan to put out the fire at Fire Mountain both as kids and (for anime only) teenagers.
- She and Goku are the ones who raised Gohan and Goten into the heroes they are, making Chi-Chi responsible for their admirability.
- Chi-Chi is extremely skilled in her cooking skills. She is so skilled that Videl stated that the former surpasses even the likes of the professional chefs that Mr. Satan hires. (Chi-Chi's actions later motivates Videl, the latter's own free will, to be a housewife for Gohan.)
- While she can be angry with her family most of the time, this is only because she loves them very much and wants to live a normal and safe life with them instead of just training to fight every day getting worried they might be killed. This is why she wants both Gohan and Goten to have formal education.
- Gets rightfully annoyed (and angry) of Master Roshi's sexual harrassment.
- Gets along with Bulma since they grew to have a lot in common despite their backgrounds.
- Anytime her family members (including some of the additional members) participate any tournaments, she will cheer for them. The same goes for her friends and allies.
- Her deaths (main timeline and Goku Black's timeline) against Super Buu and Goku Black (respectively) are one of the factors that further motivate Goku, Gohan, and Goten to take them seriously and defeat them once and for all.
- While characters like her husband, her sons, Vegeta, Trunks, Bulma, Piccolo, Master Roshi and Beerus do more admirable acts, Chi-Chi has far lower resources than all of them since she's just a completely normal human that's good at martial arts.

Why Doesn't She Stand Out?[]
- While raising her sons into strong and dependable people allows her to pass the baseline, she fails the admirable standards to her husband and Piccolo, who both played a bigger role in shaping her sons into who they are today. Furthermore, while she can't be compared to her husband, her sons, Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo or Android 17 in terms of power, she still fails the admirable standards to Bulma and even Mr. Satan (of all people), who both do more to help protect Earth with similar resources.
- Despite being pure of heart and a good person, she is far too wrathful and harsh to be PG or even NPG, as she is rude to many people, even her friends, and repeatedly threatens them on a few occasions and yells at her family for even the smallest reasons.
- Her portrayal in both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super anime versions are far more aggressive and harsh than the manga versions.
- She can appear unreasonable at times, as she goes as far as to say that Gohan and Goten's studies are more important than Earth's safety, showing she cares more about her sons' education than the lives of other people.
- What makes this worse is that while Goku was dead, Chi-Chi used to train Goten all the time, but after the fight with Majin Buu, she, along with the other adults in the series, ceases all training with him and tries to force him to be a scholar like Gohan, making her a flawed mentor.
- At the post Saiyan Conflict, she wrongly blames Goku for getting Gohan in danger. Yajirobe of all people calls her out for lack of concern of Goku's injuries.
- She seems to be greedy at times, like when she allowed Gohan to train for the World Martial Arts Tournament only so he could win 10,000,000 zeni.
- This is a minor prevention because her family is about to be low on finance.
- She has an outdated view about people with blonde hair, calling them delinquents.
- This makes her hypocritical because she gets along with some of her friends such as Android 18 who also has blond hair.
