However, he has a hard time doing this, as he is usually with his parents, and even when they are gone, he is with the Briefs, or being babysat by Gohan or Videl. After Buu's defeat, Goten uses this to his advantage and trains secretly. Trunks, reached a slightly higher level from training with Vegeta. Goten has a hidden power completely outclassing that of Gohan's, as when he was trained by Chi-Chi, he became strong enough to surprise a suppressed Gohan with his power. Also, even though his power was amazing for his age, his power wasn't enough to face any major threat. Like Trunks, Goten was kept out of most battles due to his style of charging in head first without thinking. In Dragon Ball Super, Goten rarely fought without Trunks at his side and they usually fuse into Gotenks. In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, they became even stronger and their strength was equal, but after defeating Buu, Goten had found a way to surpass Trunks via mastering Super Saiyan 2 secretly. Piccolo when training Goten and Trunks was clearly shocked at the power they possessed.įor a long time, Goten and Trunks were similar in power with Trunks being slightly stronger. He easily was able to become a Super Saiyan, and he could even give Gohan some trouble, with Gohan shocked at the power he had. Goten possessed an incredible amount of power, even at the age of 7.

Eventually, this desire to protect his family leads to Goten being fed up with Chi-Chi being insistent that he study instead of train. Witnessing Chi-Chi's death at the hands of Super Buu caused him a lot of pain, leading him to have multiple nightmares in the days following Buu's defeat, but this event also inspired him to get even stronger to help keep his family safe. Goten really cares about his family and will do anything to protect them. Even so, Goten still retains his kindhearted and cheerful demeanor that he had years earlier. Goten is very playful, like Goku was as a kid, though this is not as prevalent as Goten is getting older. He eventually was fed up with it, and he got help from Videl and Vegeta as he and Goku weren't brave enough to stand up to her on their own. He really seems to be annoyed when his mom makes him study and doesn't let him train. Goten really looks up to his dad, and wants to follow in his footsteps.

Sometimes his naïvety can get him in trouble, but Goten is far from an idiot, as he thinks far more than Trunks does, and he is smarter than Goku in general. Like Goku, Goten is naïve, fun-loving and kind-hearted.
