Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
The last movie were Goku fights Hirudagarn, Goku destroys him with the Super Dragon Fist while he does he say " If I don't who will ? ".
Judging by that ending line do you guys think Goku lost faith in sons and friends. I mean throughout the series Goku must have realized his sons and friends were incompetent and could get nothing done.
-Goku needed to hold Gohan's hand in order for him to finally destroy Cell.
-Goku thought Gohan would be stronger in his 7 years absence but Vegeta tells him his actually gotten weaker.
-He sees Goten and Trunks as kids who could potentially surpass him and Vegeta and Gohan. ( Must have given up on Gohan)
Both Gohan and Vegeta fail against the Fat Buu Goku is only left with one option to let the two kids handle it surely they could pull it off with fusion.
Goku leaves the future of the universe in two childrens hands.( Two of the strongest mind you)
Watches them in otherworld struggling against Buu realizing shit these kids don't got it.
-Gohan attempts to reclaim his Father's favor by claiming he will defeat Buu with his new found unlocked ability. Goku takes a interest in him. Gohan is destroying Buu easily but again refuses to end his life quickly and draws out the battle. Buu absorbs Piccolo and Gotenks and now Gohan realizes his fucked. Goku finally realizes that both his sons are useless and made the situation worse.
- Goku ends up cleaning their mess. With help of Vegeta and Hercule.
I personally believe Goku lost faith in his sons.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Well, the "next generation" utterly failed in the clutch against Majin Boo, despite having the power and ability to take care of him. So I wouldn't be surprised if that changed Goku's mindset somewhat. Maybe a little further down the line, he saw Oob as a promising opportunity for a second shot at the whole "passing the torch" thing.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Gohan, Goten, and Trunks failed to defeat Majin Boo, even though they were stronger than Goku & Majin Boo. So, I guess that Goku wanted to give a second shot with Oob & Pan in the end.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Then Goku is an asshole, since not only was the whole Majin mess his fault, but he was completely helpless to do anything to Majin Buu, while his sons could. On top of that, had Goku not intervened, Gohan probably would've killed Buu. Heck, if Mr. Satan hadn't intervened, Gotenks would've.Kaboom wrote:Well, the "next generation" utterly failed in the clutch against Majin Boo, despite having the power and ability to take care of him.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Who wouldn't loose faith I mean his sons had all the power they needed to defeat Buu and what happened? With Oob he saw someone who actually gives a crap about getting stronger.

What exactly happen:qjz123 wrote:Who wouldn't loose faith I mean his sons had all the power they needed to defeat Buu and what happened?
Trust immature Kids to be the saviors of Earth
Supreme Kai not telling Gohan about Boo's absorption(I MEAN COME ON! You think that's important)
Goku being the reason why Majin Boo was born in the first place.
Supeme Kai didn't let Vegeta blow up the ship to make Boo only 50% as strong
Goku being an asshole saying "Oh I could have beaten Boo earlier but I wanted someone alive to it." despite only knowing Goten for a half of hour and should know Gohan doesn't like fighting
Goku never playing baseball with Gohan
So it wasn't the Kids/teeangers fault. Boo Arc was entirely Supreme Kai and Goku's fault.
Goku most likely realize he's the best fighting(Not power wise) Saiyan alive at this point. When everyone is sad and giving up. Goku brings hope.Goku destroys him with the Super Dragon Fist while he does he say " If I don't who will ? ".
Gohan didn't like fighting, felt bad he killed his father, lost HALF of power, and lost hope. Not to mention he's a 9 year boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders for the first time.-Goku needed to hold Gohan's hand in order for him to finally destroy Cell.
They was already SSJ. So Goku is obviously going to capitalize on that.-He sees Goten and Trunks as kids who could potentially surpass him and Vegeta and Gohan. ( Must have given up on Gohan)

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Haha, Goku definitely lost faith in his sons
. They may have power but they lack discipline.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Of course Goku gave up on his sons. He finally realized "Well shit I should really stop forcing my sons to handle the world's problems that I seem to cause, I should do that to other strong guys."
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Haha, well if that's the case. It makes a whole lot of sense why Goku would leave everyone to train with Uub.
He knew his sons wouldn't have much interest in training as much as the kid.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Goku didn't abandon anyone. He trains Uub but nothing suggests that he has abandoned his family or anyone. In fact, Neko Majin Z even suggests that Uub is actually trained near Mt Paozu.Monkey D Goku wrote:You bring up a good point maybe thats why he abandoned his family again to personally train Uub.Kaboom wrote:Well, the "next generation" utterly failed in the clutch against Majin Boo, despite having the power and ability to take care of him.

Also, I've always found it incredibly biased that people think Gohan fucked up during the Perfect Cell fight but they don't think Goku fucked up during the Kid Buu fight. Newsflash: Vegeta had to hold Goku's hand in order for him to finally destroy Kid Buu. Otherwise Goku was as clueless as 9-year-old Gohan used to be except it was due to his lack of intelligence instead of emotional weakness.
Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Gohan was the reason Goku died. Instead of finishing Cell off he dragged out the fight and Goku had to sacrifice himself to keep Cell from blowing everyone up. You would think after that Gohan would realize that even though he doesn't like fighting protecting the Earth was now his responsibility so he should continue to train hard. Instead we get a Gohan who was barely stronger than Goten at the start of the Buu saga.Marco Polo wrote:Goku didn't abandon anyone.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
Mr. Satan had singlehandedly saved Earth by convincing Fat Buu not to kill anyone again. It was those guys with the riffles that screwed everything up and made Buu turn into Super Buu.RandomGuy96 wrote:Goku and Mr. Satan screwed it up?qjz123 wrote:Who wouldn't loose faith I mean his sons had all the power they needed to defeat Buu and what happened?.
And Goku had nothing to do with why Gotenks and Gohan failed. Gotenks screwed around too much, even though he was actually stronger than Super Buu in his SSJ3, so his fusion ran out of time and he lost. Nothing whatsoever to do with Goku. And Gohan lost because he didn't stop the kids from fusing and he couldn't stop them from being absorbed along with Piccolo. On top of that, Gohan couldn't even prevent himself from being absorbed later on when Buu lost Gotenks' power, even though at that point Gohan was again stronger than Buu. None of that had nothing to do with Goku.
However, you are right in saying that Goku didn't do a better job than his kids. He couldn't prevent Vegeta from knocking him out, he chose not to try to kill Fat Buu and left him for the kids and he failed to kill Kid Buu on his own. But Goku wasn't responsible for why the kids lost.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
No. It was Vegeta's fault why Buu was released.Goku being the reason why Majin Boo was born in the first place.
And whether or not Goku played baseball with Gohan is irrevelant.

Re: Did Goku lose faith in his sons and earth ?
No; it was the whole emotional attachment Buu developed to him that made the birth of Super Buu possible. Without that, SS Gotenks probably would've killed Fat Buu (which seems to be what happened in Movie 12's universe). Or at least Goku could've if that became necessary.rereboy wrote:Mr. Satan had singlehandedly saved Earth by convincing Fat Buu not to kill anyone again.

Actually, it did. If Goku hadn't shown up and distracted Gohan with the earring, Dende would've healed Gohan, who would've been in top shape to take on Buutenks, whose time had just ran out. I find it unlikely he'd stand still and be unaware long enough to be absorbed in that case.
