Is Goku In Dragon Ball Super Super Hero

Okay, let's talk about Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Great movie, right? Piccolo got buff! Gohan went beast mode! But something felt...off.

The Goku Question: Absentee Dad or Strategic Genius?

Everyone's wondering: where was Goku? Training with Vegeta, of course! Always training, that guy.

The Case for "He's Just Training!"

The official line is simple: Goku's busy. He's pushing his limits. Gotta get stronger, right?

That's what he always says, anyway. It's his brand.

But...Is That Really It?

Here's my hot take: I think Goku knew what was up. He sensed the Cell Max danger. But he let Gohan and Piccolo handle it.

Hear me out, this might be an unpopular opinion.

Think about it. Goku always wants a good fight. But maybe, just maybe, he's finally learning to be a little bit strategic.

Is he secretly a master manipulator? Nah, probably not. But could he have seen this as a perfect opportunity for Gohan to step up? Maybe!

My Wild Theory: Goku's Master Plan (Kind Of)

What if Goku realized the Earth needed a new protector? Someone who isn't always off in space, fighting intergalactic tyrants.

Someone who's actually around to protect Pan’s school plays and go to baseball games. You know, responsible stuff.

Goku might secretly be wanting the Earth be a little bit less dependent on him. He knows Gohan is powerful.

Giving Gohan the chance to shine against a serious threat could be his way of fostering the next generation. It could be his way to say, "Take the reins, buddy!"

Of course, he could also just be oblivious and really just be training. But where's the fun in that?

The Evidence: Subtle Clues (Maybe)

Okay, "evidence" might be a strong word. But think about Goku's demeanor lately. Is he really as gung-ho as he used to be?

He seems a tiny bit more...relaxed. Maybe he's finally accepting that he can't do everything himself.

"Sometimes, the best way to win is to let someone else do it." - Goku (probably, in my head)

He is always pushing people to get stronger. And Gohan needed that push.

The Unpopular Opinion: Goku Did It On Purpose! (Sort Of)

So, here it is: I believe Goku consciously decided to stay out of the fight in Super Hero.

He knew Gohan and Piccolo had what it took. And he wanted to give them the chance to prove it to themselves, and the rest of the universe.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Maybe I'm giving Goku way too much credit. But I like to think there's a little bit of strategic genius hiding beneath that spiky hair.

The Verdict: Hero or Helpful Bystander?

Ultimately, whether Goku is a secret mastermind or just a training-obsessed Saiyan is up for debate.

But one thing's for sure: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero proved that the Earth is in good hands, even when Goku's not around.

And who knows? Maybe that was his plan all along... Or maybe he just missed the memo. What do you think?
