Speaking of Goten and Trunks, the trope is inverted again in another sense by Goku and Chi-Chi and Vegeta and Bulma (you know, the adults) arguing over whose boy is stronger.Inverted by Trunks himself when he brought the Dragonradar to his mother and, with sparkling eyes, he stated in amazement to Goku how much stronger he is than his own father.When Goten's father is coming Back from the Dead to compete in the Tenkaichi Budokai, he and Trunks get into an argument over whose dad is stronger.As usual, Doraemon has to save the day with his array of gadgets, this time with a potion that turns Nobita's dad into a literal superhero. In an issue of Doraemon, when Gian bragged to Nobita, Suneo, Shizuka, and several classmates about how his dad used to be a brawler and the strongest among their dads, Nobita, acting on impulse as usual, immediately responds by saying his dad is strong enough to smash rocks with his bare hands, leading to Gian complaining to his father and the two dads being forced into a face-to-face confrontation.A "my sensei can beat your sensei" variation appears in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, when Kenichi fights with Sho Kano.Could be considered the Spear Counterpart of Your Mom.
See also My Grandma Can Do Better Than You and You Fight Like a Cow for similar insults. Taken even further if said character's dad is also their teacher. Occasionally, grownups will do it too, especially those who have had daddy issues, though they're more likely to compare their kids, if they have any.Īnother variation is combining this with My Kung-Fu Is Stronger Than Yours, resulting in "my teacher has greater skills than your teacher", which can be applied to any art or skill, but is very prominent in martial art shows. However, the original challenge is occasionally subverted with the rejoinder "My MOM could beat up your dad." Female relatives are rarely cited, ignoring Action Girls and Action Moms, but even with a whole Badass Family, male examples are far more common. A variation replaces "father" with other older male relatives like siblings or cousins for matter of availability (fathers would be thought to be working but older siblings or brothers may be available in school). (Or that their Dads will get involved in any fight between them.) Any argument can lead to this, and actual physical violence may break out over it as well. The implication is, of course, that badass is In the Blood. This Stock Phrase and its variants (my dad is stronger/faster/smarter/richer/better than yours) are a common Badass Boast between schoolyard kids.
