Viva Goten ! Trunks didn't deserve it. Goten had it won till Trunks fucking cheated. That little bitch
Goten cheated in exactly the same way too, so it evens out. Trunks deserved his victory.

Trunks cheated/lied 3 times, 1 turning SSJ. 2 using ki blasts when they agreed not to, and 3 using his left hand which he told Goten he wouldn't use. Goten only cheated 1 time.

This is an 80s/90s animated all-ages show that was popular amongst kids. It's not some potent super weapon that might fall into the wrong hands that we have to protect from evil.

Interestingly, the lying is how Trunks father defeated Gotens father in the very same arc!

Vegeta deserved this little joy. At least his son is more powerful than Kakarot son.

Goten used a ki blast too, right before Trunks did in fact — that's how he bounced himself off the floor.

Thought of contradicting the manga? Thanks, but no thanks...

Personally, I thought it was a nice change of pace to see a Son being defeated.

They win more than they lose (or are more powerful than their friends and comrades)...? It was nice to see Trunks beating Goten and playing with people's expectations.

Who didn't know Trunks was going to win? Unless people follow the underdog story. Goten deserves it best. I was rooting for him then that asshole bastard cheated
Viva Son Goten

Nobody knew. People could only guess.

And who was the underdog before they fought? They were both capable fighters.

If you read the manga you'll knew :) . Also the underdog was Goten. Goten is weaker and trained by Gohan compared to Trunks training by Vegeta

I'm talking about the manga, since that was the source material.

That correlation is not valid by DB logic.

I'm talking bout Toei since the topic is bout anime. It is valid. Weaker fighter is almost always underdogs. Goku and Piccolo was underdogs to Raditz

It was both Trunks and Goten first fight, how could someone expect Trunks to win?
Also, Future Trunks screentime =/= Trunks screentime
