Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Goten And Trunks
Okay, let's talk about Goten and Trunks in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Everyone seems to love them. But do we really love them?
The "Teen" Titans... Sort Of
First off, they're supposed to be teenagers, right? They're rocking the high school thing. Except they still act like they're, well, much younger.
Their "secret identity" routine? Hilarious, but also... incredibly obvious. Like, Piccolo definitely knows.
Must Read
I'm convinced Gohan and Vegeta are secretly amused. They just let them play pretend. A little harmless fun!
The Fusion Factor
Here's where my "unpopular opinion" flag goes up. Their fusion, Gotenks? Overrated. Yep, I said it.
Sure, he's strong (ish). But he's also incredibly annoying. All that screaming and posing? My ears hurt just thinking about it.
And that fusion time limit! Seriously? They've been doing this for years. You'd think they'd have perfected the timing by now.
Potential Wasted?
Don't get me wrong, I like Goten and Trunks. They're fun. They bring a youthful energy to the show.
But sometimes, I feel like they're not living up to their potential. Remember Kid Trunks fighting Perfect Cell with Vegeta? Remember Kid Goten charging Super Buu with Goku? Where's that drive?
They're descendants of Saiyan royalty and the son of Goku! They should be powerhouses. Not just comic relief.
Super Hero... Super Sidekicks?
In Super Hero, they get a bit more to do. They even get those sweet Saiyaman X-1 and X-2 outfits! How cool!
But even then, they're mostly just helping out. Gohan and Piccolo are the real heroes. They’re the ones doing the heavy lifting.
Maybe this is just a stepping stone. A way to ease them into bigger roles in the future. I hope so!
A Glimmer of Hope
There’s a scene in Super Hero where they're training. You can see the dedication. The genuine desire to get stronger.
That gives me hope. Hope that they’ll finally become the serious, powerful warriors we know they can be.
Maybe they'll even learn to control that fusion timer. Or, even better, develop their own unique forms. That would be awesome!
My Final Verdict
Goten and Trunks are entertaining characters. No doubt about it. They're great for a laugh, and good for a cameo appearance to remind you that the world of Dragon Ball is not only about epic fights.
But they could be so much more. They have the potential to be true Super Heroes. Not just super sidekicks.
So, here's to hoping that the next time we see them, they'll finally reach their full potential. And maybe, just maybe, stop with the silly poses so much!
