Although Dragon Ball Super has done good things, the mistreatment of Gotenks is not one of those
Initially, Dragon Ball Super received a lot of criticism, especially in the anime because of the poor quality they showed. However, with the passage of time, the work has been responsible for correcting many errors and, although not everyone likes it, it has done several things quite well, especially in comparison to previous series.
But there is something that fans cannot forgive Dragon Ball Super and that is how badly it has treated and how much it has wasted Gotenks, one of the most beloved fusions in the franchise. This is because This mighty warrior has been relegated to comic relief and little more.. Next, we will tell you the details.
Gotenks has been a very wasted character in Dragon Ball Super
Gotenks has always been a character with a lot of talent and potential
Gotenks is the powerful warrior born from the fusion of Goten and Trunks and who first appeared in Dragon Ball Z, during the events of the Buu saga. This fusion is achieved through the dance of fusion and multiplies the powers of the resulting individual.
During the Buu saga, we saw that Gotenks had overwhelming power, reaching Super Saiyan 3 only after seeing it once and also breaking the dimension of the Room of Time to escape from there. Not to mention the large arsenal of very versatile techniques. and fantastic ones they have.
But despite this, because it is the fusion of two children, he tends to behave childishly, especially when he feels very powerful, wasting the time of the fusion. Although he had an important role in Dragon Ball Z, In Dragon Ball Super it has not been like that.
In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Gotenks was treated as a clown and comic relief.
It's no secret that Dragon Ball, as a franchise, has mistreated many characters, like Yamcha, for example. Although he has also claimed others like Piccolo. But regarding Gotenks, we can say that he is a terribly wasted character.
Although they were at the forefront of the Buu saga in Dragon Ball Z, in Dragon Ball Super they have become comic relief. And Goten and Trunks used to be characters with a lot of potential and great power. So when they merged, His power increased overwhelmingly.
However, we have not been able to appreciate an arc in which Gotenks is a clear protagonist. And in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, he appeared again, but in his imperfect form with a fat body, losing agility and power. From here on, he was nothing more than comic relief in the filmserving only as entertainment for the spectators.
It's a shame Gotenks is so wasted in Dragon Ball Super
Gotenks is an extremely powerful character, as he is the fusion of the children of Goku and Vegeta. However, he has not had a chance to shine and become a true savior of the world. In fact, They have had more participation in the non-canonical Dragon Ball Z movies that in all of Dragon Ball Super where they have only been clowns.
Goten and Trunks do little to nothing in Dragon Ball Super, which is pretty sad, considering how much potential they have. In fact, they didn't even participate in the Tournament of Power as part of the Universe 6 team. One would think that during the events of Goku Black and Zamasu in Future Trunks' timelineTrunks would be relevant, but it was not like that.
And this is a formula that has been repeated over time. Although Dragon Ball Super has recently rescued two forgotten characters, such as Piccolo and Gohan, and has introduced Broly, the truth is The treatment given to Gotenks is regrettable.. It remains to wait for this situation to change over time, especially when these young people grow up.
