This is the weirdest complaint people have about Goten. You mean that between the ages of 7 and 17/23, he started liking girls?!?!?! WTF since when does that happen to growing boys?!
I'm not complaining about Goten getting into girls. If anything it is more relatable. But I was explaining how Goten became quite similar to Yamcha, with his flirtatious attitude being one of my points.
Flirtations attitude towards his girlfriend? The only girl in the entire series that he dated? Compared to Yamcha whom is shy around girls and in the anime was a cheater.
Goten was loyal. Yamcha (and Bulma) was not. Not the same at all. Didn't know everyone having a girlfriend was the same.

They didn't even change the font, guys. :cry: Or at least change the colors. Kai's got a nicer "stands on its own" logo.
Bump! Didn't want your post to be unnoticed

Actually, Yamcha cheated on Bulma in the comic too.

Actually, assuming you're referring to Valese, Goten's first date with Valese was the one shown (A.K.A. the one where he met Baby). Beforehand, Goten had shown to be dating other women, such as when he used a date as an excuse to not search for the Black Star Dragon Balls with Goku and Trunks, and also as a way of staying out of the Tournament at the end of Z.

Goten was a flirt. Hell, even the video games CONSTANTLY restate that he becomes a flirt when he's older.

Also, Yamcha cheating was actually out of character. Before the Android Saga, he has shown that he is loyal numerous times. Akira Toriyama just needed an excuse for Bulma to dump him in order to marry Vegeta and make another Saiyan.

Who.is Valese? Don't you mean Palance? Wasn't Valese Krillin's filler girlfriend? OOC or not Yamcha cheated.

Goten was a flirt to his girlfriend which... is...logical. I mean he's in a relationship.. The video games aren't a good source. They don't even have EoZ or GT Goten. Why trust info or stuff you don't have? Video games also said Super Boo happened when Boo ate the Kais.

Goten was never shown dating other girls. One can easily assume Palace was the girl he was referring to. And at EoZ he could be talking about his first girlfriend or first date for all we know. Gt was a 5 year difference. They could broken up. Simple. Goten was NOTHING like Yamcha in that regard. After all. Yamcha was a SHY cheater. Goten was active and loyal.

I mean how dare Goten get a girlfriend! He's such a ladies man flirtflirtflirt for being a loyal boyfriend that as good kid.

It is normal for a guy to flirt with his girlfriend. But a guy is immediately a flirt when they flirt with multiple girls. And Valese is the name of the girl Goten went out with in GT, at least probably for the English dub (Unlike Z, I only saw the English dub for GT).

And I'll just say you can believe what you want. I think Akira Toriyama decided to recycle many aspects from Yamcha when he worked on Goten for the EoZ. If you want to go against that, then by all means.

Still holding out hope for ssjg Gokû to appear in the extended version. He's in the manga at least.
Red SSJG Goku is in the FnF manga? What page did I miss?

When Goku fights Whis in the manga, there's a panel that shows an image of SSJG Goku in the background as he's about to hit Whis. It's sort of like that scene where Oozaru Goku appears shortly before he punches a hole through King Piccolo.

Did we really need another son for Goku who happens to be a carbon copy of him with no personality of his own? We already got to see Goku's "parenting skills" with Gohan. He's basically that kid who hangs around with Trunks. I did like his reaction to his mother's death and how he got serious for about five minutes...right before going back to his usual shallow self.

Trunks wasn't that much better. But at least he did have a personality of his own and he existed...well, because Future Trunks did :mrgreen:
I'm inclined to agree with you. One of the only reasons I ever liked Goten was because he was similar to Goku, but that wasn't good enough when the latter was brought back. These days, you could have him there just for Gotenks or give focus to Trunks. I don't care for him that much at this point, but I will admit that I liked him in GT solely for the fact that he felt more like his own person as did Trunks.

So, do we conclude Yamcha is definitely both Gohan and Goten's real father? :P

Nah, given how beta Yamcha is... it's probably pretty big... though not as big as Gohan or Kuririn's.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Pfft! Goku's dick is nothing compared to Yamcha's!

It wasn't Frieza who destroyed Namek. Yamcha's dick was just too huge for the poor planet to handle. They even had to censor it by saying that Frieza destroyed it; That's how big it is.

Nah, everyone knows Goku's dick is the biggest. To be as laid-back as him, you must have a HUGE shenglong.
