NOTICE DB GT IS SIMPLY NOT
anything this thread is focusing on is the ending of dbz
And i was wondering if whenever Son Goku will consider asking Shenron the magic dragon to wish him immortality so he doesnt have to get old and die, now, you might disagree with this, but you have to remember that, goku said himself that he is going to need new fighters to protect the earth or something,cause we dont know when the new threat might arrive, what if goku dies and someone takes over him, or the fighters like uub or somebody else might become evil or something, goku has to live, he simply needs to protect the earth wait not just the earth but whole universe against any threats, like the ones with majin buu who killed the whole humanity with one single jutsu, or whatever that technique is called, human extinction or something. I think it would be very cool if goku becomes immortal so then dragon ball z will never die and goku can always save the world new enemies, more action=MORE FUN.
what do you think will goku wish for immortality and would you want him to become immortal.

. No. I doubt Goku wants to live forever and honestly I bet he likes other world because all of the strong fighters there. Then again he did surpass them all. Goku won't be around forever. Hence why he wanted Goten and Trunks(Gohan at one point) to surpass him. Then he wanted a greater challenge and got Beerus and Oob. Goku is training Oob to give him a challenge. Why would any characters turn evil? That's so random. Oob can protect the earth once Goku dies. Hell Goku and Vegeta can have a proper fight in Other World since their bodies are more durable.

If we go by Dragon Ball Online, I doubt it. Goku has family and friends that he loves so it would be hard for him to out live them.

You seriously need to work on your grammar and posting style.
As for your question, no, Goku would never wish for immortality. Not only would he be forced to watch his family die, one by one, as he survived, but I doubt that he'd even consider it to be "fair." Goku lives to be challenged; there is no challenge if you are immortal.

What if someone felt that because Goku is a good person and fights for the weak and innocent and is one of the strongest beings in the universe that he should be immortal to stay as a protector and made the wish for him?

1.Why does goku need immortality !? Even if he dies he can train in the other world with king kai or grand kai's planet forever... in the filler most of the characters there have been training for well over 100's of years.
2.Goku will never make such a self centered wish,
he's more likely to wish for lunch or dinner than immortality.
3.GT goku is or maybe immortal ...in a way he still looks young even after 100 years

I don't think the concept of mortality has ever really bothered Goku at all - but then again, why would it? After the battle with Cell he knows he gets to keep his body no matter what when he eventually does pass away - after which he can train for eternity and test himself against the best fighters to have ever existed in the Universe without aging.
Not a bad deal, really.

I doubt Goku would want to wish for immortality. As he said numerous times before, he isn't going to be around forever. We've seen that he has no problems with dying for his planet, so he isn't the one who would want to live forever just for the sake of the Earth. If this was so, it would mean that Goku has trust issues with the new generation. When in reality, it shouldn't be. We have children reaching the Super Saiyan status at ages seven and eight, with the proper training and interest in fighting - we could have future warriors even stronger than Goku. This is what I believe Goku is intending to do - through Uub he wants to ensure the future of the planet Earth will be in good hands of a hero for even he isn't around anymore. But I also believe that he can't fully rely on Goten, Trunks and Gohan due to their lack of interest in fighting.

When the good half of Katatz's son got the role of Kami, he didn't get extra years, and neither did the Kaios according to Toriyama, so why would Super Saiyan God make Goku live longer than he should?
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.

That was about the form's power, it has nothing to do with more years to live.

Think he means if it means saving Earth then Goku will become immortal. Which I find incorrect.

As others have said here, wishing for immortality is out of character for Goku. In fact, the one person in the main cast that was actively trying to gain immortality doesn't seem to even care about it past the Namek Saga, Vegeta.
