Yes and it hurt him, bullets hurt him and General White knocked him out cold with his super gun.

This isn't really about power levels as Goku tanked bullets as a kid before he even learned ki, this is just straight up forgetting things

Why does this anime keep doing this? Just reinforcing my opinion that the manga is better?

Hopefully the show explains it though I doubt they will.
And after that time in the first chapter when being shot in the manga it left bullet holes in him that were leaking blood.

The description doesn't even say his slight injury is from a bullet, maybe he just breaks his finger nail when flicking that dude away.

He shouldn't even be getting slightly injured at this point. Not even Krillin hot injured fighting someone with a machine gun.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Goku getting a little hurt is probably the least important detail about this episode but it's already the only thing on everyones mind.

Goku also shouldn't be hurt by normal people yet Bulma manages to hurt them every time she strikes. No one freaks out everytime Bulma hits Goku.

Yeah he's getting rusty and careless, which is why he wants to train.

I agree we have to remember he was deflecting bullets in the preview so has to be something else.

I hate the manga, but at least in the manga you won't see this kind of bs. If goku has his guard on, and he gets injured, I might start hating the anime too.

How do you know this isn't a gag, have you seen the episode?

People are also using gags of goku getting shot as a reason why he shouldn't be injured. So why am I not allowed to use a gag to defend my point but everyone else is allowed to use it to call this episode garbage before it even airs?

I am going to wait and see, I jumped to conclusions once, i refuse to do it again. summaries have mislead us before with the whole vegito nonsense so lets see what happens.

Bullets hurt him (infact it knocked him of his feet), super gun knocks him out, stones thrown or blown at him can hurt and/or cut him, glass can cut him and lasers can pierce his flesh. Extreme heat can burn him and he can be frozen solid. Without air he will suffocate and die.

It has been shown time an again that when Goku for all his power can be hurt by mundane things if he dose not properly focus his power and I will never understand why people put Goku up on this invulnerable pedestal and flip their shit the moment they are reminded that their hero is only flesh and blood.

Every time the ability to resist bullets comes up in a conversation about Very Serious Consistent Sci-Fi Series Dragon Ball, I want to bang my head against a wall.

Well, to be fair, this complaint isn't unfounded. The ability to resist bullets has been something established since chapter 1. This isn't something like "HOW MANY PLANET BUSTS CAN GOKU BUST WHILE BUSTING PLANETS?" conversation, this is a basic ability of a character who is millions of times stronger than he was back when he first displayed it.
