But seriously. Gohan told no to chi chi before, and all his friends and close family [save chi chi] live and breathe to defend the earth, and train. And for that matter, its implausible [even for an asian parent -_-] to refuse her godlike son training, in order to protect the planet, given every 2-3 months someone comes down, beats all the z fighters to within an inch of their life and wipes out half a continent of people. It was just a bad excuse to reinject goku/vegeta as the primary characters in the show/manga.

I fully agree.
the whole "goku passing the torch to gohan"-story of the cellgames would have made for a really nice ending to dbz, but since they decided to continue, they had to somehow make goku the main hero again.
