Do you consider Goku pure of heart?

It's been said in the series and in interviews with Toriyama that Son Goku is pure of heart. Do you agree with this testament? I notice a lot of people on this forum seem to think his latter actions were immoral.

Hes pure of heart, not pure of mind.

Hes pure of heart, not pure of mind.

In other words, Goku...is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

As Goku would say it..

"I'm not the sharpest knife in the crayon box."

That's a really good point. Goku does not hold grudges...well there's Tambourine. But he might have forgiven him had Tambourine stuck around.

Definitely. Being bad at making decisions (or just stupid) doesn't make him less pure so long as his intentions are good.

He's as pure as Luffy from One Piece is.

His ideals are pure, but his execution of them are terrible.

He's pure in a sense that he's a simpleton who only cares for fighting. Gohan and Goten are the only Saiyans that are legitimately pure.

The whole "pure of heart" thing confuses me too. Really, anything that comes mind is Jesus or something.
I guess it depends on the person. I can't really come up with a proper theory.

Speaking in. Detached. Sentences.

I guess he is. That face-palm of embarrassment Gokû made when Chi-Chi was defending his pure-heartedness got a grin out of me. X3

DB's " pure-heart" sounds more to me like the person is someone who's intent is true, no malicious intent or ulterior motives I mean. Not so much only goodness, but truthfulness too.

He's pure of heart. Trust me. Not to many people would let a bad guy go when they killed their best friend, and god knows how many races. Now how he does them are piss poor. I mean I doubt he meant to cause the Earth to blow up. Though I think Goten(ignoring my fanboyism) is the only 100% pure character with good intentions like Goku and good execution had he been around longer.

When was that? Sounds funny.

Just after Shenron explains the Super Saiyan God, and when they're arguing about who's pure or not.

You mean the other way around.

I think he is. We can't take lightly how Granpa Gohan, Kuririn, Bulma, Piccolo, and everyone else influenced him. Chi-chi is probably the worst. Goku is pure and righteous, even when he lies he tells the truth. He can do no wrong willingly and his only downfall is his lack of knowledge about basic human interaction and the way of the civilized world.

Once Goku hit his head as a baby he was cured and was an angel. We see him and we know if not anything he is innocent.

Not only is he pure of heart, he can also sit on the nimbus, making him pure good.

Well he's not TOO forgiving. Granted he gave Freeza a chance to live and escape Namek, but when Freeza threw that mercy back in Goku's face...well...

Goku spared Freeza some energy so Freeza could escape the planet and become good, but seeing how he used that energy to do harm, Goku must've realized that Freeza is simply evil and had to finish him off.

Same thing with Ice Shenron and Raditz. He gave them a chance, they blew it, and so he finished them for good.
