Goten’s Strength in Dragon Ball GT: A Legacy of Goku

Even without direct training from Goku, who has passed away, Goten can transform into a Super Saiyan before turning 10. This remarkable ability is a testament to the immense power inherited from Goku, allowing him to manipulate Ki at a level that is exceptionally strong, even before receiving training from Trunks, particularly before the Majin Buu Saga.

As a character with a powerful lineage, Goten is poised to inherit significant strengths during the most critical moments, especially during the fight against Baby, a formidable antagonist from the GT series, who is attacking a city on Earth. Despite his determination to defeat Baby, Goten faces a psychological setback when he receives a call from a girl during the battle, clearly showcasing a moment of vulnerability that echoes Goku’s previous experiences of distraction during fights.
Notable examples include Goku’s loss of focus against Majin Vegeta in “Dragon Ball Z,” which led to his defeat. Similarly, in “Dragon Ball Super,” Goku also lost his concentration in a fight against Frieza, resulting in dire consequences.
When Goten loses focus against a formidable opponent, he experiences significant pressure and is prone to errors, revealing that he has truly inherited the intense emotions and instincts from his father.
In this episode of “Dragon Ball GT,” Goten also loses his concentration and focus during battle, similar to Goku, confirming that he has indeed inherited the essential traits from his father.
