Stronger of the Children; Goten or Trunks

The Darkness Returns

Now, it's widely accepted Pre-Rosat that Goten is slightly weaker(stated by Goku) than Trunks due to him being younger. However, as we know Goten witnessed his mother being killed by Buu, which infuriated him. Based off this we can assume Goten put in much more effort into his training than Trunks did considering the loss of his entire family pushed him harder.

Any thoughts on the idea?

trunks had just lost his dad, and his mother was still outside with buu. trunks had just as much reason to train as goten.
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

True. I think at most they became equal, although given Goten's family lineage, I can understand someone putting him stronger.

Trunks probably ended up a little weaker in the long run, since he had to take over the family business. If that's even what you're asking. =P

trunks never took over the family business. he was 18 when the series ended. they were both just lazy after the buu arc.

has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe Trunks just bought his sword somewhere or something? There's nothing really special about it.

Well it did manage to slice Frieza into a shishkebab so it must've been packing more power than your average blade. Hell even Zelda's sword couldn't pull off that ****.

I don't believe in power levels after the Frieza Saga. :D
Now, there's an idea.

I always assumed the gap between them never changed even after the Time Chamber. Mostly for simplicity sake since nothing contradicts this. As for the end of Z it's harder to say.

I'm 99% sure that Goten and Trunks were still in the RoSaT when Buu turned everyone (Chi-chi and Bulma included) into candy, so neither of them witnessed their mother's demise.

Though technically Trunks never saw his father die, since he (and Goten, but that's irrelevant) were unconscious, whereas Goten had to actually say goodbye to his father when Baba took him away.

They were both probably equally as inclined to train, it's just that Goten was younger and showed it more melodramatically. Plus Trunks was probably told by his father countless times to not cry and show little emotion, whereas Goten spent most of his childhood with Chi-chi.

And even if Goten had more inclination to train, I'd still say Trunks is stronger, just due to the age difference and the fact that he underwent more training growing up. Goten was probably just a harder worker, lol.

who said trunks got more training growing up? vegeta had just started training trunks when gohan got his saiyaman outfit, while goten had been trained in the turtle style for years. and they saw chi chi get turned into an egg and crushed.
