Son Goten Appreciation Thread

I'm back at it. My love for Goten! Greatest ever! Viva Son Goten. Even change my signature.


I created these threads to show appreciation and no negativity to a certain character. So if you don't have anything nice to say then don't post. Quite simple. I started this with my favorite bad guy which is Freeza (http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27913). So I think Goten is a good choice. This Goten one was written on July 26th 2014.





Goten is the greatest character in the Dragonball Franchise. He's what Dragonball Represents and even have real life influence. He's charming, adorable, funny, childish, and honestly quite an awesome personality. He's like a baby! When he waved goodbye to Gohan cause he wanted to go to school with him was just adorable. He doesn't take much seriously. Just like Toriyama don't want people to take DB seriously. Hell unlike Trunks when s*** got real Goten got serious.

Just compare their efforts in the ROSAT. Goten said "f*** PLAYING AROUND" and started training ASAP. Trunks tried to take it slow. Goten4life. He shows friendship BETTER than any other character. Besides when they're in trouble how often do the Z gang hang with each other? A once or twice a year gathering doesn't count. That's very rare. Goten shows what friendship really is. Just enjoying and competing with each other. Not every character not to be serious(Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan(Rage), Ten, Yamcha(To a degree), and Dende), Normal(Most humans and Gohan(Calm)), or LOVE fighting(Goku). Some can be just be unique. A perfect combo of Kid Goku and Regular people is what Goten is. He's awesome! How he tries to beat his older brother is utterly cute. No denying. How can you question why people love this guy!?

Let's not forget the whole "Kamekameha!" he did. Cause of him till this day I say Kamehameha like that. Goten is a Legend in his own rights. You seem to forget that Toriyama write on the edge of his seat. For all we know he could have came up with Fusion the chapter Vegeta kills himself. That's still leaves many chapters of Goten. So NO he was not made for Trunks's fusion partner. Not even close. Was he made to rival Trunks and for Trunks to have someone his age? Yes most likely. Hell that brings another point. Goten shows(Even though it's a minor one) a REAL rival. Something the so called "Rivalry" Goku and Vegeta had lacked.

Now that's just the manga. Let's go onto the anime and movies. The moment Goten spelled Trunks named instead of his own while peeing was funny. His interactions with Videl was funny. Most of the Masked Man filler was funny. How Trunks take charge over Goten is funny. Almost everything with Goten is funny or adorable. Did you forget that whole "What's a Magician?" thing Goten did? That's why he's so lovable. He's honestly(And I've seen enough anime for 3 lifetimes) my favorite fiction/anime/comic/manga character. Number ONE baby.

The movies he was the star in was awesome(Minus who the main bad guy in the movies was.). Broly Second Coming. Goten(And Trunks) saved this movie from being s***. He was funny. "Shenlong is a big Dragon. Maybe he needs more space!". Literally LOL on that one. He wanted an apple. That killed me. I was laughing milk that I didn't drink. "WHAT THE HECK IS A KAKAROT!" was funny as hell. Goten was on a roll the entire movie. Bio Broly took a more serious side of Goten. In which his kicked a***! He was a BEAST! I love that badass face Goten made when they was about to kill Broly.
This is filler not movie but Goten kicked Popo a*** while Trunks had trouble. JUST SAYING :P. Back to Second Coming. Goten playing with that Dragon(Or Dinosaur) was funny as well. No one had much funny moments as Goten. Not even Kid Goku. That's saying something. He's the complete package. In Fusion Reborn his little scenes with the Tank and tires was cool. Didn't do much in Wrath of Dragon. There's a reason why Goten and Trunks got a HUGE ovation in BoG's preview. BTW Goten being jealous of Trunks was the show stealer for me. Trunks and Goten stole the show that focus on Goku and Vegeta. Good job Toei and Toriyama. Just great haha.

Now onto his Teeanage life. We only got a few episodes of this so not much I can say. But his Teen Hair style is the best in all the series. Not the fanboy talking either. It's not like Gohan's who rips off of Yamcha. It's just Goku's hair but I guess Brushed down. As you can see the spikes at the bottom(The spikes on Goku hair that's most recognizable). We still see how close the blond is with Goten and Trunks. It's funny how he reacts to fighting Majin Boo and how he teases Trunks. His gag lost to Pan though. Made me throw my TV out the window and break a rabbit's neck with my hands but that's beside the point.

Now in GT. Gt. Lemme explain. Everyone in GT acts like a Teenager or a bratty kid. Bra is suppose to be like 10 or 9? Yet she acts like a Teen and attracts grown men. Goten is about 22? Around College age. So his behavior isn't weird. After all he's related to Goku. Goten is basically Goku if Goku wasn't 100% into fighting. I don't understand how Goten acts "Horny" in GT like many seem to say. Having a GF(ONE GF the entire series) does not make you a horny bastard that wanna have sex with everything that moves. So please. Get that idea out your head. He got a gf. He treats her nice. The only bf who took her for ice-cream. Probably cares for her as he protects her. C'mon now. That's not horny. That's being a nice bf. I'm sorry Goten is not acting like Vegeta and going "MY BULMA!!!!!" over everytime his gf is in danger. Goten seems cool in GT. Just chillin being awesome. What more do you want? He wasn't given important screen time unless he was fighting Goku. He had a kick a*** fight with Bebi though. Even kick Bebi's a*** for a bit before getting his body taken. Goten and Trunks still had that one little cool moment when they killed 19. But after that nothing much. Not enough screen-time IMHO. Even Trunks(After Black Star Arc) didn't get much screen time. It was Goku and Pan. Can't say much. Though from what we've seen Goten is still cool. Still unique. Still awesome. Still the best damn character ever. Though his GT self is slightly downgraded from his DBZ persona but all good. All good. Hair style a little ugly but he makes it work. Though curious on how adult English Gotenks would sound.

Not to mention Goten and Trunks got a kickass theme

Overall:
Goten is the greatest of all time(MY OPINION PEOPLE. A very strong opinion). He's unique and not a 100% Goku rip off. He's adorable as a child. He got the funniest moments. Just everything about him is awesome. He's everything that DBZ IS! A Fun(Goten), Fighting(Z fighters which Goten is), Comedy(Goten), Adventure(Goten), and nothing to think to seriously about(GOTEN). Does Goten not fit all those categories? Yes he does. So Goten is DRAGONBALL.


Imo.

Read the first line of the large wall of text that actually took me awhile to write as I meant 100% everything I said.

I did read it, I'm just not one for following requests ya feel me?

On a serious note, it's a shame Goten's getting the shaft in recent material. He for some reason is grouped with Trunks when it comes to being too incompetent to fight, despite only Trunks showcasing anything of the sort.

I hate Goten when he learned Gohan is dead and started to cry like a b***.

Let's keep the spam down or I'll be forced to lock this. I'm sure Goken doesn't want that.

Guys this isnt a spam topic. I legit wrote this a year ago. But the topic was rejected because Return of F was announced and they felt it was counter productive.

So please stop. If you want Goten to be a leader then watch Bio Broly. Goten the leader instead of Trunks.

Other than the fact that goten and trunks completely destroyed what specialness super saiyan had left, I don't mind goten too much.

Goten is essentially kid goku but with a relatively normal life. He doesn't have to fight demons threatening the planet and crap, he lives with a family instead of in the middle of nowhere, he's an overpowered super saiyan, etc.. It's an interesting twist on kid goku and it was fun to watch

I know the series at that point was very far from it's roots(a gag-fighting manga) but having kid goku back with a twist and bringing back a little silliness to the series was nice even if it was going against what the series had turned into

And he's a mini goku. His hair and his outfit were cool.

I also liked him a lot in GT. His hair especially when he was a ssj awesome

I don't understand the hatred for Goten and Kid Trunks. I like them both.

They behave exactly as I would expect from two super powered kids who haven't been in serious danger before. They're much more playful than Gohan was, I don't want to just see another version of Gohan and Future Trunks.

They're interaction together is great too, Goten being charming and naive (like his daddy) and Trunks leading him into mischievous trouble. The stuff with BOG and Trunks showing off that Mai was his girlfriend and Goten being impressed was really funny.

For me Goten is just a child, a mere copy of Goku's child character


AT tried to make him relevant, but it was not properly explained why did he is that strong. I mean even the half breed SonGohan has to train his a*** off with masters like Piccolo and Goku to obtain the power what he had in the cell games.(not to mention the potential unlock back on planet namek)


And Goten tends to train with his mother whose fighting experience convergence to zero and he is about 2/3 as strong as his older brother and he even managed to obtain ssj .......dont be silly


For me Goten's character is bad writen........sadly



On the other hand I kinda loved his role in the budokai and as gotenks onwards it was silly....and a bit of funny

Why Goten is strong? He was conceived during CGs.

Ssj Goku banging Chi Chi. Goten is a SSJ sperm grown up to be honest. Chi Chi is on par with Tenkaichi Budokai of DB ERA. Thats quite strong. Roshi said so himself. Goten isn't badly written. He's Kid Goku with a normal life and super strong. Is it really hard to believe a kid can LOOK like his FATHER and act similar too?

It is your theory mate, it was never supported or implied in the manga just sayin

There's Daizenshuu(which isn't the best source)
Vegeta saying half breed Saiyans > regular
Goku saying Goten can be on par w/ Boo if he trained
Common knowledge. I mean Gohan had a BP of over a freaking million when he was 5 and a SSJ2 @ 9. At 4 years old (Originally 3 but Toriyama reckon Gohan's age to make him 4) Gohan was stronger than Raditz.

So actually the manga does support this.
