This is a power I couldn’t achieve on my own! I’ll use this form so I can have the chance to fight you lord beerus.”

    A really cool but understated part of Goku’s growth is how he changed after training under Kami, and just growing and learning as a fighter.
    A lot of people point out how Goku use to be way more savage prone to killing his enemies as a kid. He was a wild child who acted on his impulses.
    However you see a change in Goku’s temperament after he came back from his training with Kami. He’s more merciful and calm during situations compared to when he was a kid who would rush out against anyone who did him wrong.
    Some good examples of this are when Goku didn’t listen to Roshi and chased after Tambourine after he killed Krillin, knowing nothing about his enemy’s strengths and techniques he was just consumed by rage.
    As an adult with more experience and maturity, Goku restrained his son after Cell seemingly killed Piccolo and never made any rash actions in front of Cell even when he thought Piccolo was dead.
    Even the way Goku didn’t fully succumb to the Super Saiyan influence against Frieza’s shows his growth in self control.
    In the anime when Goku first became a Super Saiyan, Roshi talks about how Goku is undergoing a change and it will be up to him if he remains who he is, and in the end Goku never lets anger consume him and instead wants his fight with Frieza to be another proving ground for him instead of a death match. He’s not a savage Saiyan, he’s a martial artist. He even spares Frieza numerous times to drive the point home that this is just a fight not an execution.
    And what does he do next saga? He makes the Super Saiyan form his own, mastering it to be a form not based on rage and aggression but efficiency and control. Martial arts is all about self control and it’s that aspect of Goku and seeing him get better at that as he ages that makes him such an inspirational character.

    • @GreatSageGoku
      @GreatSageGoku Před 9 měsíci +7

      IIRC, I believe it was also due to Android 8 back in Muscle Tower when he was taught to spare them, even if they deserved it. Goku was about to kill General White if it wasn't for No. 8 holding back his fist. This is why he spared the lives of his enemies like Piccolo or Vegeta who'd later become allies under different circumstances. He does grow as the adventure goes on.

    I've always loved how Goku was potrayed in the movies and in GT. His growth was shown clearly, he thought ouside the box with techniques and outsmarting his enemies, he was a father first, and yet, he still was a tad naiive and sweet outside battle. He took each fight seriously and even knows when someone is beyond help [moreso in the movies]. Super has it's moments too, but they're few and far in between. I wish we could see that side of Goku again: a fighter with a heart of gold.

    • @devilish6878
      @devilish6878 Před 9 měsíci +2

      Yea and in GT even when he was trapped in Hell facing Frieza & Cell, he could’ve easily gone super saiyan 4 and displayed the unfathomable gap between his power and their own, but he chose to remain in his reverted child base form because it was already more than sufficient for the likes of them but it was also perceived on their end as Goku’s size being the deciding factor in the fight. And then he when they begin fighting Goku proves that it couldn’t be further from the truth and instead of boasting his greater power to them he actually stops to remark valid criticism like to Cell that he a lesson he’d learned throughout his life as a warrior is that if you spend as much time training as someone like Cell does judging other’s abilities than your fighting truly suffers as a result. He also states to Frieza, half jokingly I’m sure but also that he does have the potential to be better as a fighter and that mindlessly launching attacks developed by other warriors at him like with Krillin’s patterned destructo disk is just beneath him despite his detestable nature as a person but is just a disappointing display from someone of his level of battle knowledge/ability to perform such amateur attacks.

    I believe one of the reasons Super Goku does not carry the same weight on screen is because of the uncertainty he has when on screen. Besides the ToP, Super is just a losing streak for him. He loses to Beerus, loses to Sorbet (wins only because of Whis' magic), loses to Hit, loses to Goku Black and Zamasu, twice, and also loses to Fused Zamasu. Why would he be 'Him' if he barely ever wins?

    • @esmineldraaybara6975
      @esmineldraaybara6975 Před 9 měsíci +7

      In contrast, in Z, Goku loses to Raditz but wins against Nappa and Vegeta. Loses to Ginyu but wins against Frieza. For every one fight he loses, he wins a much more important one. His losses are used to set up the strength of the enemy and to show his progression, how he is later able to overcome even stronger foes. The longest losing streak for Goku in Z is in the Cell Saga where he loses to 19 and Cell. This is because the story was supposed to move onto Gohan now.

      ​@@esmineldraaybara6975well, maybe. But Z Goku would do all that different... He always looking for solution against stronger enemy. What S Goku does after losing to Black first time? He simply rushes back into the future to fight him again, Brilliant idea, just brilliant.

    I love how people use nostalgia when we look upon Goku in Z very positively while Super we look at him negatively. As I re-read/rewatch the series and sat down to really get a grasp of the situations, conversations and actions from an objective view, i learned a few things. Goku still has his flaws, moments of selfishness......but be it whatever dub you watched, Goku STILL cared for people, WOULD choose the more logical routes than just to get a fight in, learns from his mistakes, PLANS ahead, very insightful, not cocky about his own power and gains a level of maturity I dont see in Super.
    For those who are quick to use nostalgia as a means to bash Z Goku, Im telling you to turn off your recency bias and look at Super Goku for what he is in every situation INCLUDING fighting. Because he does not stack up the way Z Goku or even GT Goku does. Mind you, it goes to show that despite how much people like myself did not like GT Growing up, Gokus character personality and execution was NOT a problem

      To make it worse, he loses a LOT of his fighting genius, ESPECIALLY in the manga. I emphasize manga, because he literally has the same stamina issues in every form he gains and has yet to rectify that issue, whereas he more or less did rectify that in the anime to a degree where he can use Kaioken freely by the time of the ToP.

    The reason why DBZ was so beloved wasn't just because of Akira Toriyama, it was a team effort and his former editors Kazuhiko Torishima, Yū Kondō and the head of the anime production Takao Koyama contributed a lot to the success of the franchise, specially Koyama, he was a good leader and the glue that kept the things running, he also contributed alot into developing who Goku is as a character, Toriyama is a genius but his ideas are to crazy for his own good and he also changes his mind a lot, he works best with a team to giving him advice and keep things consistent, like the fact that he clearly created Goku to be a hero, and it's even stated in the manga, but now he changed his mind and wants Goku to be more of an anti-hero and that's one of the reasons why DBS wasn't as successful as DB and DBZ, the development team lacked a good leadership, they just followed Toriyama's vague instructions without any direction, one of the biggest reasons why DBGT failed wasn't because they turned Goku into a kid but because they made him dumb, and this time they committed the same mistake except worse because Goku is an adult this time, they didn't learned anything from their past mistakes, they needed a good leader like Koyama to make sure the team was on board of they same boat and to keep things consistent.

      That's what I think too. Most of the time in Z portion, it was the editor that helped Toriyama wrote coherent and meaningful story and well-written likable characters. Buu Saga is literally a result of Toriyama written a DBZ story on his own and has a lot of flaws. DBGT failed mainly because of franchise fatigue, not because of flawed story and characters, because despite the least popular series, GT is well-liked in Japan.

      @@MinhLe19303 Indeed, Toriyama works best with an editor Buu saga was not bad but had alot going on without any explanation, and many flaws. GT was indeed more popular in Japan than in the west but they don't care too much about canon, fatigue was one of the main factors but Goku's characters regression didn't help any better, and the quality of the series wasn't as good as it used to be, fatigue only happens when sometimes starts to lose quality, look at One Piece, it's over 1000 episodes and there aren't any signs of fatigue.

Japanese fans don't seem to care about Goku's idiotic nature, and while I do think they upped his childishness and goofyness in GT, at the same time, they also increase his seriousness and heroism like how they did in old movies and fillers, so I wouldn't call it a straight resgression.

    Its because super serverly regressed Goku's character. Thats why. People who say "Goku had no character progression" is following themselves. You can see the maturity of Goku from OG dragonball to GT. As with Super it just goes backwards getting basically kid Goku in Z Goku's body. Yes Goku was always a goof ball and likes kid around but he knew when to kid around he knew when to get serious as time progressed but not in Super.
