Don't try to change the subject. I said meticulous, not elaborate. And it was meticulous. Goku planned for all outcomes, because he recognized that it was important Earth have a protector. He recognized that it was more important than him having a good fight, and threw away the chance at a good fight to accomplish this plan. Super Goku would never do this.ABED wrote:Wrong on both counts. It's neither lazy nor did Goku make any elaborate plans. He began training Goten and Trunks to fuse, but that's a very simple plan.
His awareness of his role as Earth's protector in the Buu arc, and his decision to stay dead for the sake of not attracting attention to Earth, debunks this headcanon. It's not unintended. He acknowledges this role. He's just inconsistent about when he applies it because Toriyama is lazy.If Goku believes it's his job to defend the Earth, he doesn't do a great job of it since he puts the Earth in jeopardy several times. It sometimes works out for the best, but that's an unintended benefit.
A meaningless distinction, and another attempt to change the subject. He doesn't even try to proactively end immediate threats in Super.If you think he proactively tries to end threats, you're just wrong. He NEVER proactively ends threats unless it's immediate.
He's pragmatic except when he's not; he wants to bypass fighting Raditz or Super Buu altogether yet also wants Golden Freeza, who already became stronger than him in 4 months, to get even stronger. His character is not consistent. He goes from wanting to team up at the soonest opportunity to disdaining the whole idea of teamwork depending on the chapter, even in the original manga. But he was still more consistent there than he is in any of the new stuff.I believe you misunderstand the character as you don't truly understand what Goku means by fighting for fun and pride. It's brought up in Battle of Gods. He doesn't like having to rely on others to defeat an enemy, but he'll do it out of necessity. That doesn't mean he throws away his love of fighting out of the whims of the plot. He's pragmatic.
Kibitoshin offered a brand new unbroken pair later, Goku rejected them and then regretted it. Then in Super he just doesn't want to use fusion or even teamwork ever again, for no reason at all.I wouldn't bring up Vegeta's role in the Kid Buu fight. He was the one who destroyed the Potara earing first.
You having terrible reading comprehension is not my problem.None of your examples prove your point.
