Anime has given us countless memorable characters, but few topics spark as much debate as parenting in animated series. This video examines two of anime's most controversial father figures: Dragon Ball Z's Goku, whose dedication to training often overshadows his family responsibilities, and Fullmetal Alchemist's Shou Tucker, whose actions represent one of the darkest moments in anime history.

While Goku's failures stem from prioritizing his Saiyan nature and love of battle over quality time with Gohan and Goten, Tucker's sins are far more sinister and unforgivable. This comparison reveals how different types of parental neglect and abuse are portrayed in anime, and why these flawed characters continue to generate passionate discussions among fans about responsibility, morality, and the complex nature of family relationships in storytelling.
