Especially after the Namek saga, Goku felt like a more mature person. Someone who understood the stakes of a situation and knew what he was doing. In Super he's just dumb and goofy in a way that isn't endearing. In DBZ he's a veteran, someone who the other characters can put their trust in to handle the situation as the guardian of Earth.

All I can say is thanks for this, being a voice in the community that actually keeps it real. Dragonball has fallen so far from what it was and you're labeled a hater when you try to voice criticism.

if you read the manga, specially the first half, before Piccolo Jr., most of the training he did is now being repurposed in Super, this is very evident when he meets Mr. Popo for the first time, where he learns how to move without wasting stamina, or even that there's always someone stronger than you, and how to keep your heart tranquil. By the way, that fight was even recycled for the match between Goku and Hit, which was also about conserving stamina and keep it cool as much as possible and study the enemy.

To say that Goku is only liked because of the way he was portrayed in Z is underselling him, I feel. He was always a likeable character due to his good heart and goofy, laid back nature to counterbalance his love of fighting and becoming stronger, and that Goku that was established in the original Dragon Ball is the basis for who is. It's just that Z built upon that by making him a better version of himself while still keeping him in line with who he was originally established to be; in other words, he was at his peak in Z, and it made him a more fleshed out character as a result. I won't deny that Z is popular, but I don't think it's fair to say that's the main reason why people like him, since if his character wasn't so well received, the original series would probably not have gotten a sequel to begin with

You know, what's funny to me is that one of the reasons I liked Ultra Instinct so much in the anime, is that Goku SHUT HIS DOWN MOUTH while fighting in that state. No goofing around, no excitation about fighting, none of that Stupid Super Goku shtick. Instead we got a serious face, close to no dialogue and him trying to get the job done as best he could. Now the sad thing, it's just a resemblance of Z Goku not the actual one resurfacing, the anime never goes out of its way to show he's in a "serious mindset" except for that one instance when Jiren makes the frankly stupid move to try and hurt his friends (move that should have gotten him erased if you ask me but whatever) and Goku gets mad for a second, so all of what I mentioned above is more about looks than real substance.

Goku was always silly and lighthearted, but never unintelligent. He wasn’t stupid, he just didn’t have experience with other people and so he was ignorant about certain social things and a country bumpkin. But he always learned quickly and was able to adapt. With the start of Z and Goku being an adult and a father, there was a consistent growth for him. He could still be lighthearted and maybe say ditzy things, but he’d get serious when he needed to be. He was one of the smartest fighters in the show. His portrayal in Super honestly feels like the writers thought that jokes about him being dumb was how we actually thought his character was, and so they just wrote him as a complete idiot.

Good video and you make good points of which I agree. That said we should be fair on one point you made, Goku didn't ask for the losing universes to be erased in the tournament of power, if I remember correctly. All he wanted was to fight with people from other universes. It was the stupid omniking/grandpriest that decided that the losers should be erased so I don't necessarily see that as a flaw of Goku's as you had stated. I just think it shows the evil/cruelty of the "gods" and I agree that it was a foolish writing decision for the story especially given how we all knew that the universes would just get wished back anyways. A better way to write the story, including the erasure of the universes was to make it permanent and show that these gods aren't actually good guys and it could have probably led to the surviving universes trying to build power to get revenge for the erased universes and overthrow the current gods. That's just my opinion anyways.

Sometimes I think about how wonderful Super could have been if everyone didn't get Flanderized to hell and it just focused on learning "god ki", everyones new family life after the Buu saga, the tournament of power which was actually pretty interesting, training the new Saiyans, Future Future Trunks's stuff which was also pretty interesting and didn't absolutely destroy the plot(looking at you Frieza), kept the characters' personalities at that time so Vegeta wasn't aggressive to Goku anymore, Goku was still wise-ish and calm, and everyone else had personality still.

Goku was a fighting genius. He defeated Cell, but didn't know he needed to destroy his legs, and if he had known there would be no SS2. That instant transmission kamehameha was EPIC. He doesn't feel the same in the clips I've seen.

This video is what I have been waiting for... Very good one

9:29 I have not watched Super but i have seen the Broly and Superhero movie and watching this scene made me very confused. It's mostly because when i was watching the Cell saga i interprated the whole point of SSJ2 being the main cast learning this exact lesson. Everyone knew you needed something stronger than super sayian to defeat Cell and they were smart enough to figure out there is probably an SSJ 2. And this is where my fav scene from both DB and DBZ shows up: Perfect Cell has fought most of the fighters and then Trunks appears thinking he has "cracked the code to ssj2" by buffing up his muscles but because of that, he was too heavy to properly fight so he gets beaten up by Cell. So Cell (like the badass that he is) mocks him for his way of fighting by buffing up his muscles himself and being able to properly move unlike Trunks. Then he goes back to his regular body form and just leaves while announcing on TV hours later that he is making the Cell Games. Nowadays Gohan's ssj 2 tranformation is mostly related to 90s kids saying "this is where Gohan was PEAK" and so on but to moreso represented how nobody except their own dad believed in him and he finally achieved what everyone was trying to do only because he found out who he is and just letting it all go. It was because of Goku that SSJ2 exists but in a spiritual way. Passing what he learned as a kid and adult to Gohan and help him achieve his own moment of power. I know nobody is gonna reads this because most of the time my comments never recieve attention but i just wanted to give my thoughts on the matter

Love this interpretation. There was something special about Gohan’s critical moment, seeing his fathers faith in his abilities.

OG DB Goku: A Young, Naive, Goofy Child who’s new to the world and exploring new adventures. Z Goku: An Serious and Heroic Man that protects the innocent, inspires other and is the hope of the universe. GT Goku: an Gentle Wise Elder who cares about his family and friends and finally ends his journey. Super Goku: A Stupid Idiot that only cares about his own selfish ambitions and desires even if he meant harming those he loves and cares about.

You hit the nail on the head! I’ve been saying this for years now. I don’t normally comment on videos but this video should be sent to the writers of the the anime. Great analysis, DBZ Goku is my favorite character of all time. I’m glad to see such a quality video essay expressing such gratitude towards his character. Thank you!

Great video. Agree with everything 100%. It's like I had all this in my head watching DB Super but could never put into words or explain it in such detail to other people.

To be honest I was born 5 years before battle of gods. But I can the diffrence stupidity and naivity db to dbgt goku is somebody who you respect and want to be your friend. DB's goku is somebody who easily irritates you by constantly asking simple questions that even a five year old knows in school. That the difference for me

The impression I got from Goku giving Vegeta shit was that Goku thought he was doing TOO much mental training and was slacking on his physical training. But maybe I took it the wrong way. Either way you’re right that Goku shouldn’t be downplaying it because he’s used mental training before. The only way I can rationalize it is that he thought Vegeta was overdoing it and was joking around with him to motivate him in some way idk. Super writing is just not that good tho let’s be honest 😭

Toei tried to put Luffy's personality into Goku in the anime and it was definitely Toei's worst decision. In the manga, at the beginning, with how advanced the anime was, things happened very quickly. but from the arc of Moro, it is noted that Goku analyzes his actions even when he gives the zensu bean to Moro, he says that he will take responsibility no matter what happens, just like with Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo and Vegeta, giving him the opportunity to that he thinks things through and doesn't give him the zensu bean just because he wants to fight, and don't even mention how well managed Granola the survivor's arc was.

6:45 it’s like the writers couldnt come up with a way to show that even though Goku and vegeta have trained their whole lives whis has lived for so much longer. instead of thinking of a way to do that they regress their skill so whis looks like the angel in comparison. Quite sad honestly. Lazy writing strikes again

I seen people blaming them instead of the fan base and toei who decided to maybe do that to match them because of all the views the abridged videos were bringing.

4:50 I always find it interesting when people defend Goku causing the ToP to happen by saying Zeno was going to delete all the universes anyway, and Goku actually helped by giving everyone a chance to survive. The issue with that is Goku didn't even know about that, so why is he given credit for it?

To be fair, if you are going to say "he didn't know" I will counter that he didn't know they would try to destroy it anyways. It is not like Goku ever said anything like "oh, and if any universe's team is disqualified, their entire universe should be erased!". If anything, I always found this arc to be evidence that the current gods (SPECIALLY, but restricted to, ZENO) are just horrible and NEED. TO. GO. There is no world in which straight up deleting the universes is justifiable. The only universe erasure that I find somewhat justifiable is the anime future Trunks one, and that is only because: 1. That universe was already pretty much dead (it is implied that Zamasu left Earth for last, so every other planet should already be dead by the time Trunks travels to the past). 2. On the anime, they did that thing of Zamasu kinda becoming one with the uniserve itself and, while that is kinda of stupid, it does justify destroying the universe itself if only to stop Zamasu's disease to spread even further.

That was the purpose of making Gohan the main character. Goku’s maturation peaked at the end of Cell saga which was the perfect time to pass the torch to Gohan but AT changed his mind and kept it as Goku that’s why it had to end after Buu. There was no room for growth of the main character. GT was a victory lap for the franchise. Like AT said super is a CASUAL continuation. It’s supposed to be light and goofy so Goku as the main character has to be an idiot

"Light continuation". Sorry but I don't believe that. They wouldn't have a serious storyline like wiping out entire universes and having the main characters take part of that process ending the lives of trillions of innocents. They attempted a dark storyline but failed. They wouldn't have written a storyline where evil Goku kills his wife in another universe if they weren't trying to be serious. They wouldn't have had a mature Granolah arc in which someone victimized by Saiyans wanted revenge against the same race. Character growth doesn't peak. It is just an excuse. Superman has similarities but has been around for almost 100 years and they're still doing new storylines. There's now multiple universes. Plenty of potential ideas.

Take a look at the events where Goku was 'mature'. It was a life to world threating event with no other option but to buckle up and focus on the crisis. In DBZ he was pressed to be the one to find the solution, have a way to end the threat, he had to be the strongest, he had to be in crisis mode and handle the situation.... by the time of the Cell Games he found that Gohan had the potential to surpass him and made the push to make it happen. It was his turning point imo. After word he started down a path of teaching and passing on insight and knowledge to others to assist in saving the day. He no longer had to be the only one to finish it. Buu Saga reflected his peaked growth, the constant strain of having to be that guy. By the end of the Buu fight he was no longer the only one that could save the world, galaxy, universe. In super, Goku was given time to relax, the heal the mental strain and be himself again... .closer to his teenage years in attitude with a touch of growth to his normal self. He gave it his all against Beerus and came up short and was given mercy and opportunity. His goal of getting stronger to get stronger and challenge stronger opponents became cemented as things would just work out. Goku may have regressed but he regressed into being able to be himself. The weight is lifted off him. Vegeta is on par with him, Beerus and Whis help them train and improve further from them training on their own. A gaggle of Gods to back him up when things get dire, Dragonballs a plenty for what ever situation (Earth & Namek).... he doesn't need or have the stress anymore. He has grown in other ways than maturity. His fighting style has matured by utilizing martial techniques, he assesses his opponents and is either testing himself or teaching others to bring out their potential (Goku Black aside but what can you do against immortality?). No longer is he the sole savior, he can let others shine. Character growth does peak. Superman is a perfect example for this. How many times has the timeline been reset? How many times have they introduced different problems or situations for him to grow in different ways from the reset? The end of Superman (future timeline) usually ends up having him be cold, out of touch, go live in the sun for a bit, or evil. Dragonball super is a continuation, not a reset to a time line or alternate universe. You can have plenty of mature arcs within a light continuation but remember Goku is no longer the main focus and there is a huge detachment.

You're Clownku impression was hilarious even though no cap Goku would have been like that about cell in super 💀

when z goku came to fight, you knew he meant business even when he was weaker than an opponent like with raditz or cell he stuck in to the very end and lasted the longest possible with fighters given his level at the point - even in the og manga = he was a hero because even though he wasn't a knock off superman like the dub may intend you to believe he always could tell to fight evil and even when he spared them like with vegeta while the intention was selfish he also admits that villains have the potential for good like piccolo saving his sons life after years of hatred between goku and him - ill miss you goku, thank you for the memories.

I haven't watched the amine at all, or any for that matter but I have seen stuff on the Internet about this guy and he's right. Goku has gone form the master to the apprentice and yes he's had some great moments in super, like the "I won't let you destroy my world" part or when he found out what happened to his family VIA black. If anything Vegeta is Goku now as he's grown as an character, meanwhile Goku is like "oh I was meant to do this? I didn't know that was training" like my guy you did everything as a kid

This is why GT Goku was more cooler than Super When Goku and Goku Jr met it was so amazing how he lowkey manipulated Jr But with good intentions I don’t think he would do that he probably says the truth without knowing the consequences because he’s always dumb but in GT he did different he know what’s the dragonball’s capable of and it’s consequences and it’s amazing how he just accepts and respects the dragonball’s wishes, Goku always finds a way to do something ridiculous to scape the dragonball’s bidding and find a way to scape like he always do because his the kind of person who always moves too much but now he just stays for his ideals and the love of his grandpa showed him is so beautiful and relatable that is so simple he probably can become a monster if he like his instincts or just go crazy and be free and destroy everything like cell and his more terrifying because his a unpredictable genius and consequences genius but he doesn’t care about that he only cares the love and the experience and how fragile everything is, his like Superman but better imo and Ngl his the most humanistic person than any of us ever

Goku is definitely the most damaged character in anime because he nearly died a lot times and died a few times as well, but after each battle he became stronger and stronger, and became the strongest protagonist than any other anime's protagonist as well.

Dub or not goku in the saiyan saga alone felt developed and grown to maturity. The guy felt like he outgrown his old naive childishness. Toriyama seems to forgot all of it. His super version seems like the abridge version of him. Vegeta should be the one whos physical and goku the mental. Seeing thats the whole point of the saiyan saga. Nappa and vegeta was strong in brute force but due to different techniques by the z warriors even though they are weaker in terms of power thet still gave them a run for their money. Goku using the kaioken and spirit ball to defeat vegeta. In the namek saga we saw vegeta learning from his experience on earth and actually gained an advantage against freeza's minions by using the techniques he picked up in earth like hiding his power and sensing energy. Vegeta should be the one struggling how to overcome enemies with not just brute force alone. By GT we see a very different vegeta he was more calmer more rational and goku as despite being in a child form you'd still see that he uses that child body to taunt his opponents even copying his enemies moves just to push their buttons. Their fight against ice and shu shenlong where he was more serious because things have escalated far beyond what they could handle. He didnt mock around and tested his powers and endanger the risk of losing. While in the ToP he was fucking about trying to force his this ultra instinct. Like he didn't learned what happened during the cell saga when gohan failed the first time and he actually regretted that he ever involved his kid.

I completely agree about that resest button on experience. Goku already trained with several gods before Super, and he was treated with respect in terms of battle sense. Now in Super, he’s relearning things that he already learned way back in Dragonball. At this point Gokus senses in Ssblue should’ve been Jiren level if they didn’t nerf his battle experience. There really was no need for Ssblue or god. They were already strong enough.

The most ironic part is that GT Goku, as a kid, seems infinitely more mature than Super Goku. Sure, canonicity aside, GT is supposed to take place 5 years after End of Z and even more than Super but still, GT actually got Goku's character right. He was super goofy and childlike but he got serious when he had to. He didn't need that many flashy transformations like SSJ God, Blue or Ultra Instinct, neither he relied on just bute strenght or power alone, he used what he had and made it work, he adapted himself to any situation and when he couldn't win he got back up and learned. And SSJ4, even though it was a new form, it worked well within the narrative and even had some emotional weight when it appeared. He cared about people, especially Pan, that's something Goku doesn't do in Super. Aside from Black killing ChiChi and Goten, he stopped caring about literally eveyone to the point of having his fighting obsession be his most prominent trait, beside his stupidity. And plus, even when GT Goku was being goofy, it wasn't to the point of being insufferable.

Newer Dragon Ball likes to take inspiration from fanmade stuff that the writers & editors liked. The Tournament of Power was inspired from some multiverse tournament fan comic. Dragon Ball AF Fanfic inspired the Goku Black Saga, the Super Saiyan God Ritual, & likely the design of Ultra Instinct as well as Broly returning as a good guy. Goku's dumbing down probably took inspiration from DBZ Abridged, although it was never as bad as you claim. Just canonizing that Goku didn't understand Pregnancy or Romance (to be fair Akira Toriyama admitted to not being good at writing romance) I have to rewatch Super, although it never seemed that much of a character assassination. Granted much of Super is Slice of Life when they aren't dealing with god stuff & both Saiyans still have a lot to learn in that area. If you think Goku had it bad, Sonic had it so much worse during the 2010s just saiyan. Considering the Slice of Life style of Dragon Ball Super I find it surprising we didn't get an episode where Goku takes his family on vacation to King Kai's Planet only to learn they usually vacation at Kame House. Goku & Vegeta were so busy training during the new movie & weren't actually the focus. The line with Goku being confused by Vegeta's Meditation Training probably is more to highlight their differences with Goku preferring to spar & work out in heavy gravity with plenty of weights to where he doesn't realize how different Vegeta is from what I remember. I'm sure by the time of the Uub Saga Goku will feel like he's ready to be a somewhat competent teacher.

Hell yeah... Preach! I definitely Agree Who f'ckin wrote Goku's script? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bro even Gohan an Krillin used Mental Training during Namek bruh that really ruined my day just wow.😭 Even Frieza told about it Goku he made it a point to say it after he left his cocoon RIP continuity.

Goku in Z was my idol. People keep saying his dumb and he was always this way in Z. This is completely untrue. Z Goku is not dumb he was smart and mature and he gained wisdom as the series went on especially by the Cell saga. Kami taught him the appreciation for life. This is why he tried to spare his enemies even when Kid Goku use to body his enemies in the past. Fighting Frieza taught Goku that not everyone can be redeemed. As he left Frieza for dead on Namek and killed him in Trunks timeline. Goku in super doesn’t know what a kiss is yet in Z he has two children and he was perfectly fine whoring out Videl and Bulma to Old Kai. The Goku in Z knows he won’t be around forever that’s why he wanted Gohan, Goten and Trunks to become strong. Even GT Goku is wise beyond his years and he was in a child body. Super Goku is a just a joke

I'm coping so hard...that I believe that Goku in the Super Hero movie was caught off guard that Vegeta even meditates in the 1st place since he never did it before...instead of having Goku be a Dum@55...

I love the difference between your intelligent and ignorant goku voice

Goku is supposed to be a goofball who fights for sport, but takes it very, very seriously when needed, to the point where he rarely made obvious mistakes, assuming he made any. thats how he was usually portrayed in DBZ. during his fight with Raditz, he let go of his tail because he always believed in some decency in people, that they can change for the better. but when they betray that faith in them afterwards, he doesnt give third chances. which is why he decided it was right to try to kill Raditz at that point. he did the same with Vegeta and even Freiza, though only Vegeta actually took his second chance when it was offered. even him giving Cell a senzu bean was understandable based on his general philosophy of wanting a fair fight. Gohan wasnt injured yet, so Goku wanted cell to be in top form when facing a fighter like Gohan in his own top form. but in Super, him giving cell a senzu bean would probably have been played off as him fumbling the bean and accidentally tossing it towards cell and then laughing like an idiot or something
