Naruto or Goku - Who's a better husband/father?

Which of these fellas is the better husband/father? Or, in the words of Guile, which one of them needs to "Go home and be a family man"?

Or

We need more time with Naruto as a father to know that.

naruto

The spinoff comes out soon.

Naruto

It's not hard to be a better father/husband than Goku.

Then you should make the thread when it comes out.

It's a placeholder until then, in that case.

Goku, for now.

Goku.

Naruto can be with his family all the time if he uses a clone, but he doesn't..

In all fairness, you can understand why he wouldn't. It'd just be his clones with his family and not the man himself. :P

Goku. naruto is a douche,bolt pulls the same stunts that depressed kid naruto did to get attention, because naruto never spends time with his kids just because he's hokagai. The dude can create 1000s of clones at any given time, can't he just create 1 to take care of work.

@comicstooge: he uses it for training, when it comes to shonen, training >> family :p

Remember Watchmen, where Manhattan and Silk Spectre are doing it, but she gets pissed off when she finds out he had replicates of himself in the other room working? It's a similar scenario.

And he was willing to make himself late to the Kage Summit just to teach Bolt a lesson. I don't know if that makes him a better father than Goku, but he's hardly a douche.

If anything, I'd argue they're more important. He's willing to divide his attention for training, but he'll only devote all his attention to his family.

@comicstooge: except all of them are the original. It's like I'm saying to leave the clone at work for a few hours and spend some time wth the kids.

Neither. Piccolo is the better father

Then it'd seem like he wasn't fully devoted to his duties as Hokage if he was only using a fraction of his power to do his job.

It's a lose-lose situation if he uses clones.

Naruto as a dad is featless

So goku for now

None

At least Naruto is still around.

@flashback0180: It's not. When you can be everywhere at the same time doing a bunch of different things, you're degrading the meaning of love to your family.

I'll take the guy who's author DIDN'T state that he wasn't qualified to be a father

Naruto

We need feats for Naruto.

But it won't be hard i'm sure.

Beata

Naruto by default. He doesn't leave his family every five minutes to go fight monsters and possibly die.

How dare Goku defend their lives......

@micah: Such a deadbeat!

@the_stegman: lol XD

@comicstooge: Naruto, his kid is a preteen and he's not dead yet.

Also, NaruHina.

He could probably have his clones do his duties as hokage honestly. Not that I think Goku is a great dad either....

Goku.

Then it'd seem like he doesn't take his duties as a Kage seriously. It's a lose-lose situation, whoever he uses the clones on.

They're both pretty deadbeat from what I can tell....but i'll go with Naruto since Goku has never really showed any interest in his kids beyond the scope of training/fighting/saving the world

Goku.

It's a funny joke, but Goku obviously loves and cares for his family and I'm sure if it were up to him, and there weren't aliens threatening to bust his planet every other year, he'd be at home hanging with his kids, providing love, giant fish, haircuts, and (for Chi-Chi,) the good, old Power Pole.

Unfortunately, Goku doesn't have the luxury of getting to do whatever he wants, because aliens, demons, Gods, etc. threaten to bust his planet every year.

Naruto is just in the office all day to the point where he's not unlike Sasuke as a dad. (Which is saying something.)

How is Naruto even remotely deadbeat?

Well I wouldn't send a shadow clone to deal with something like a meeting of all the kages. But I don't see why he can't have them handle his day to day duties for like an hour a day. I mean its not like the village would fall apart.

It wouldn't send a good message to the villagers if he did that. Plus, he was only made Hokage recently, so it's possible he's still adjusting to everything.

Yeah Goku was really defending live by leaving his Wife to train some African he didn't know.

Goku's kids never died. They were absorbed by Buu, unlike everyone else who died.

In the released new material, Bolt seems to be acting out because his father's always busy. I know it's cuz of his duties as Hokage, but given the fact that Naruto was neglected though out his childhood, it's pretty crummy to do the same to his own kid. But maybe deadbeat was the wrong word for Naruto.....definitely not Goku though lol

Well Goku let a demon alien raise his first born so.....

Since when did training the next generation become a bad thing? Goku won't be around for ever, how dare he take steps to secure earths future security..........that savage....

@imperfect_cell: I meant Naruto's not dead yet, he's responsible enough to not die.

Wrong. Then Buu blew up the planet, and instead of saving Gohan and/or Goten, Goku decides to grab Mr. Satan.

Gohan and Goten have totally died. And Goten was 7.

Goku sacrificed himself himself to save Earth though. It's not like he was being careless, he had to. What was irresponsible of him was not teaching anybody else Kaioken or Instant Transmission.

Oh yeah, forgot Buu turned into Kid Buu and blew up everything.

@buttersdaman000: In the released new material, Bolt seems to be acting out because his father's always busy.

Yes, that doesn't make him a dead beat. There's a major difference between Naruto and Bolt. Naruto only had the Third Hokage and possibly Iruka who'd gave him the time of day everyone else tolerated him at best. Yes, Naruto's very busy but Bolt has his mother, sister, and the 200 people that care about him since birth just inside the village alone. Everyone that doesn't know him personally likes him because he's the savior of the world's son. Bolt needs to get over himself because pretty much everyone in Naruto has it worse than him. Much worse.

Ya right, except you left the part the goku knew perfectly well who that kid was, it was kid freaking buu that's who, Buu was resurrected. The same guy who threatened the fate of the universe. If he didn’t train him in the right path things would get bad and fast.

Kaioken is technique that a freaking million year old god couldn't master. One wrong move and it explodes your body.

And it took goku nearly a year to master instant transmission, goku is a natural prodigy in mimicking ki techniques. He performed kamahameha on first glance, the same task took Roshi 50 years and other z fighters 4+ years.

.

Goku isnt that great of a father, he is a wonderful protector of the world as a whole, but he has no bias towards his own family like a normal father would. A good father wouldn't let his son participate in a battle with a villain based off of the assumption that he has the potential to beat him. he also endangers his friends and family because of his own love for fighting.

Another point is he has nothing to offer his son other than teaching him ho to be stronger, he never taught him to ride a bike, or math, or how to get his drivers license. Goku has no practical knowledge or feelings towards the world. If you ask me, piccolo raised Gohan better than Goku did.
