Dragon Ball Super
On the surface , it might make sense thatDragon Ball Super ’s novel story about the bloodline of Saiyaman X would focus onGoteninstead ofTrunks , since the Great Saiyaman , aka Gohan , is his sidekick . However , it ’s appropriate thatDragon Ball Superchapter # 104 conform to Trunks ' individual journeying rather , based on how both characters are present within its former pages .
This all comes when many in the fandom are understandablyvoicing their disapproval about howSuperreturnedthis way . After such a longsighted respite , there was already an increased appetite forSuper ’s narrative to persist in , so the fact that it turned out to be a prequel to a saga that many lover already saw as a distraction was a major letdown . But although this may be on-key , chapter # 104 ’s whole delivery is actually more in effect than arguablythe entirety of the controversial Super Hero Saga , and the explanation behind itsemphasis on Trunks instead of Goten helps underscore that .
Dragon Ball Super’s One-Shot Is A Story About Trunks' Journey to Accepting Superheroes
Goten Didn’t Need to Change for the Story to End
Although marketed as the origins of Saiyaman X , this new one - shot is clearly a storey aboutTrunks ' changing judgement of superheroeslike Clean God and the Great Saiyman . Trunks initially vehemently resist everything about heroes like them before eventually come to not only accept but respect them . understandably , Trunks is the main barrier to him and Goten becoming Saiyaman Xbased on how lame he reckon Hero of Alexandria are , so he would haveneeded to undergo some sort of journeywhere he eventually experienced a divine revelation that test him untimely .
Meanwhile , Goten is a vast fan of heroeslike the Great Saiyaman and neat God at the commencement of the one - nip , so he does n’t require to alter in any way to accept the idea of becoming Saiyman X. In fact , Goten is the one who brings it up at the death , sonothing had to happen to him in order for the account to move fore . Instead , the big moment is when shorts , after experience everything that happens to him in the one - shot , harmonise to Goten ’s suggestion and excitedly comes up with their design and name .
So , irrespective of the fact that Goten is the comrade of the Great Saiyman who inspires their larger-than-life personas , he could n’t be the chief direction of the one - snap .
As A Whole, Dragon Ball Super Chapter #104 Contradicts Key Moments in the Series
Goten Should Have Actually Been The One-Shot’s Main Focus to Address These Contradictions
However , this is only the casing if we ’re just translate the one - shot as a standalone story . When taking fundamental moments fromDBZandSuperinto account , it would have really made much more sense for Goten to be the asterisk of chapter # 104 . This derives from some odd development that either purposefully retconned past event or came as a result of faineant writing . When Gohan shows his Great Saiyaman costume to Goten for the first sentence inDBZ , Goten thinks it ’s the cool thing he ’s ever seen . But later inSuper , Goten come along to have changed his judgement and says that it ’s halting .
At first , this development showcased a change in Goten ’s graphic symbol , which is hunky-dory . However , it ’s remaining that adolescent Goten is now dead infatuated with the Great Saiyaman ’s whole looking again in chapter # 104 . With this latest one - crack , Goten ’s change in popular opinion now feels all random . No account would really have been necessary in chapter # 104 if Goten had share the same notion as he did earlier on inSuperwhen he thought the costume was halt .
But now that Goten has flip - fall through back to how he originally thought , it would have really made more sense to put follow Goten instead , so he could research his past opinions of the Great Saiyaman . In the final stage , Dragon Ball Superfans now have a alternative of either enjoying this newest one - shooter as a standalone story or grappling with these random change inGoten ’s character and second - guessing chapter # 104 ’s decision to focus onTrunks .
