Background

Son Goten is the second son of the legendary martial artist, Son Goku, and the younger brother to Son Gohan. Born directly following the defeat of Cell, Goten was raised solely by his mother during peacetime, and thus didn’t experience much fighting.

Nonetheless, Goten was still born a prodigy, becoming the youngest Super Saiyan of all time, at only 7 years old during his first transformation. He and his best friend, Trunks, were born with such natural power levels, that they shocked most of their family members, and developed a lax personality.

Eventually, Goten would become crucial in the fight against Majin Buu, as he learned the Fusion Dance and, alongside Trunks, could become the extremely powerful Gotenks. After Buu’s defeat, however, Goten would live a much more ordinary life, and lacked motivation for fighting.

On occasion, his father would convince him to train, although Goten greatly disliked how great the gap was between them. He’d often spend his time going on dates with women and hanging out with Trunks, though this lack of training soon turned against him when he was forced to participate in the 25th World Budokai.

Standard Equipment

• Flying Nimbus: Before learning how to fly, Goten was forced to use his father's Flying Nimbus which Gohan had inherited after their father's death and later passed it down to Goten. However, Goten eventually stopped using it after learning Flight from Gohan.

Notable Techniques

*Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, Goten is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.

• Ki Blast: Using Ki, Goten can concentrate it into a ball that he uses as a projectile attack.
• Ki Sense: Goten is able to detect lifeforms and power levels from far off.
• Kamehameha: The iconic move coined by Master Roshi, which Goten has adopted for himself. This starts as a blue Ki ball, which is charged in Goten’s hands before releasing as an incredibly powerful beam.
  • Kamekameha: A much weaker version of the standard Kamehameha Wave, used by Goten as a child when he first learned of the attack. Not only is it weaker, but it is also more out-of-control.
  • Super Kamehameha: This is an amplified version of the Kamehameha which has a larger and more devastating beam, which Goten uses by first bolstering his Ki.
• Stone Bullet: The user throws a rock that can only be used in point-blank range.
• Assault!: First, Goten charges at the opponent and punches them away. Then, he flies up into the air and charges down at the opponent head-first at top speed. When the opponent dodges, Goten blasts the ground with an energy sphere to propel himself towards the opponent's direction to knock them away with a headbutt, using his falling speed to inflict severe damage.
• Full Power Energy Blast Volley: The user fires flurries of large, bright Ki Blasts that is more powerful than the average energy volley. It is useful for quick, effective, as well as causing massive accumulations of damage to the foes. The difference with the Full Power Energy Barrage Wave is that the user does not move his hands while firing it. The waves themselves just chase the opponent.
• Fusion Dance: A short series of poses that are performed by two characters of equal power levels and roughly equal size. To correctly perform the Fusion, the fusees must strike the poses in a perfectly symmetrical image of one another. The result of a correctly performed Fusion Dance is a superior being whose power is multiplied several-fold over that of the individual fusees. If the dance is performed incorrectly, it will result in an obese or skinny character who is much weaker than either fusee individually.

*Super Saiyan: Goten gains the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan at a very young age, and is the youngest known Super Saiyan. He could even transform before learning how to fly. He is first shown in the form while training with his mother. Unlike his brother and father, Goten was instinctively able to manifest this form without any extreme emotional distress nor dire need, so much so that he didn't even realize the change until Chi-Chi pointed it out. To which, he quickly mastered the form. This reduces his emotional build-up and energy consumption while in said form to near-nothing and can therefor maintain it for as long as desired without any strain on his body.

*Gotenks: Gotenks is the fusion created when Goten and Trunks perform the fusion dance. Gotenks' power far surpasses either of the fighters' individual strengths other than Gohan and Goku. He attains the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 3 forms. Goten and Trunks are capable of fusing into Gotenks within 0.05 seconds. They use the technique several times as kids. As young adults, in Dragon Ball GT, Goten and Trunks are tempted to fuse into Gotenks to try and help their fathers but are told not to by Gohan. The Fused Warrior Gotenks shares both Goten and Trunks' playfulness as well as their special attacks and new moves that Goten and Trunks do not have, such as Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack as well as Galactic Donut or Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball.

Other

Standard Tactics: Goten will start off with hand to hand combat along with using ki blast.

Weaknesses: Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, allowing them to not be able to tank or die to far lower attacks such as attacks that have destroyed the planets of several worlds. Goku notes that Goten could have been much stronger if he had trained.

Note: Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities from ki use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up.
