~ Mr. Shu

Mr. Shu  (周災悪 (しゅうさいあく), Shū Sai'aku) is an abusive private tutor in Dragon Ball Z that Chi-Chi hired during a filler episode in the Trunks Saga for Gohan.

He was voiced by the late Hirotaka Suzuoki in Japanese and Chuck Huber in English.

Biography[]

Chi-Chi hires Mr. Shu as Gohan's tutor to increase his study skills. While Chi-Chi is out of the room, Mr. Shu whips Gohan with a whip and insults his father, Goku. When Gohan has a nightmare and grabs the hand of "Frieza", he is actually grabbing Mr. Shu's hand.

Mr. Shu then further insults Goku. He tries to whip Gohan, but he grabs his whip and breaks it. Mr. Shu cowardly calls Chi-Chi into the room, rather than fight him fairly. He lies to Chi-Chi about what happened and makes Gohan look like the bad guy (in the original Japanese version, he insults Chi-Chi's parenting and blames her for his rebellious nature). He then says Gohan wants to fight like his father (in the original Japanese version, he says Goku not coming home is the reason why Gohan is acting out). Chi-Chi denies it. Gohan then defends his father, and Mr. Shu whips him in the face so hard that blood draws down his face (the blood was removed in the edited version). Mr. Shu yet again further insults Goku, and he says Gohan was abandoned by a "worthless father".

Chi-Chi has had it and throws Mr. Shu out of a window. He threatens her, which results in Chi-Chi chasing him away and telling him to never come to their house again. Later, Chi-Chi's father the Ox-King laughs hysterically about Chi-Chi throwing Mr. Shu out of the window.

Although Mr. Shu never appears again or is mentioned in the franchise, he most likely was killed once Super Buu killed everyone on earth. It is unlikely that he was revived due to his evil nature.

Trivia[]

  • In Japanese, his name is "Shu Sai'aku Sensei". It is unknown if Sai'aku actually is his last name, as it means "the worst" in Japanese. In English, he is simply referred to as "Mr. Shu" due to students in westernized countries referring to their teachers as "Mr.", "Ms." or "Mrs." depending on their gender or martial status (martial status is specifically for females).
    • In Brazilian Portuguese, his name is "Senhor É-Um-Sádico", which translates to "Mr. He-Is-A-Sadistic". The suspicious name stranglely doesn't alarm Chi-Chi when she hires him.
  • Mr. Shu strongly resembles Pamput, a fighter that participated in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament in Dragon Ball. Their hairstyles and faces are near identical, with the differences being that Mr. Shu has a lighter skin tone, a mustache, and he wears glasses.
  • At one point in the English dub, Mr. Shu says "Oh! My foot is not!", which could be a pun of his name since it's a homophone of the word "shoe".
  • Although Mr. Shu is a minor character only appearing in one episode of the anime, there are two different trading cards of him released in Japan, each showing his battle stats (One in the Super Battle Power Level set released in 1993 and the other in the original Super Card Game set released in 2006). A Menko of him was released in Japan as well.
    • He is also featured on the artwork of the "Blue Reprimand" card that was a starter exclusive card for Panini's Dragon Ball Z Trading Card Game released in the US.
  • Mr. Shu's English voice actor is Chuck Huber, who is known for voicing several other villains in the Dragon Ball franchise including Emperor Pilaf, Master Shen, Garlic Jr. and Android 17.
  • Mr. Shu's Japanese voice actor was Hirotaka Suzuoki, who is known for originally voicing Tenshinhan until his death in 2006.
