I miss the old Goku | Dragon Ball
Published 15 Aug 2023
I miss the old Son Goku, ever since Dragon Ball super started Goku has felt like a shell of his former self in every way I’ve narrowed this down to four main points and I plan on giving comparisons to explain why these are either contradictory to Goku’s character or don’t make sense as a logical continuation of it. 1 is Goku’s seemingly lost touch of what being a fighter means 2 is Goku’s tenacity in letting villains live 3 Goku’s sudden development of an ego leaving him off guard & lastly 4 Goku being very carefree/childish in response to danger and threats to he or his family. Intro: 0:00 Moro Dillema: 0:45 Goku doesn't know what being a fighter means: 2:38 Goku letting Villains live again: 5:02 Goku has an ego now?: 7:59 Goku is too carefree in response to threats: 10:39

The thing that bugs me about as super Goku is how child like and naive they portray him at times. 974
Super Goku doesn't compare with the old Goku, that Kaioken scene went hard
That was one of Goku's hardest moments in DBZ, Super really regressed Goku's character entirely, they turned Goku in a megalomaniac with an addiction to battle ... 49
He suffered from Flanderization, unfortunately. OG Adult Goku had some childish elements to him but they were very minor and were just a few charming quirks to his character, but he behaved like an adult where it counted. In Super he seems like a manchild now, he never takes anything seriously and acts like a teenager all the time like everything is just a big game to him, even though people are dying he doesn't take the situation seriously! It's frustrating. ... 137
1 When propositioned by vegeta to become his second in command, Goku responds "No thanks. besides, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of job security"
Hearing Goku talk about something as adult as job security, idk, it just really got me. This felt like a down to earth GUY. Just some guy who happens to have enormous power and abilities but a real person nonetheless.
2) When he talks to Gohan and Krillin and convinces them to leave. He points out to Gohan how Chi must be worried about him and even asks Gohan to "Give her a hug for me" It's so wholesome and family oriented and implies they have a healthy, happy family dynamic that's existed all this time. Even later Z seems to forget about portraying Goku as someone who can have actual familial affection outside of pride for his son's power.
3) He purposely incapacitates Nappa instead of murdering him (this has remained fairly consistent at least)
4) His pep talk to Gohan is incredibly kind, insightful and finishes with him reaching out, again to show physical affection for his child (vegeta knee smashes him in the gut to interrupt. Which, my God Saiyan Saga vegeta is the most fun villain in DBZ. Guy absolutely delights in being the biggest heel imagineable)
Seeing Goku demonstrate himself to be THIS well rounded of an adult human being...his relatability was off the charts. ... 171
- Vegeta spends every other arc overcoming his past and sins, and admitting that Goku is better in some aspects and going his own ways just to regress right back to "Grrr my pride, I wish I was a Carot" in the next arc.
- Gohan learns that you can be a scholar but keep training to protect your loved ones for the 100th time, then disappears again for the next 2 arcs and comes back all rusty.
- Future Trunks tried to solve everything on his own and with pure power alone again.
- Trunks and Goten have been stuck as kids for the occasional Gotenks slap stick for the past 30 years.
- Krillin and the other humans keep jumping between retiring as fighters and coming back every other arc.
- Beerus and Whis keep getting stronger every other arc, and every time they show a hint of interest in something or that it could have consequences, they go back to "mmmm food".
It's pretty obvious Toyotarou or whoever writes this shit either doesn't really know what to do with the characters and/or that they are afraid to break the stalemate that Dragonball Super ultimately has set itself into with keeping it withing the end of Z.
Super Hero was so good because it finally gave some long overdue justice to Gohan, Piccolo, and to a lesser extend Goten, Trunks, Krillin and so on. I hope they finally go beyond Z after this arc, so we don't have to push the reset button after every other arc.
GT has many flaws, but I do think one thing it did pretty well was writing continuation of the characters. Goku enjoyed live and seeing Pan grow up, knowing that most things couldn't phase him anymore, but he would become 100% serious the moment he needed to. Vegeta became a family man on earth, ready to defend it with his life if need be. Goten and Trunks actually grew up and do adult shit. Piccolo embraces his role as a mentor and guardian. The list goes on.
Super has potential, but they are either afraid to or don't know how to use it. ... 61
It was what separated him from everyone else, good and evil. 19
I thank you very kindly for this video.
Also, Goku giving Cell the Senzu Bean saved the universe, as Goku knows that both Vegeta and Frieza would destroy the planet if they were backed into a corner. He gave Cell the sb not only to protect Gohan's pride as a warrior, but to save what he holds dear to him. He felt that Gohan had a power within him stronger than himself. He knew Gohan would get the job done. Him being the Master Martial Artist, he would know how to handle situations outside of just the battle, but the war in it's entirety.
In Dragon Ball:
He gave Piccolo a SB because of he died, Kami would die and, the DBs would be rendered useless. ... 127
And time someone start arguing about goku vs anyone
I like to be petty and bring up him getting no diffed by a normal laser 🤣🤣🤣and I make sure to hammer it down just to be extra petty ...
