Information:
Goku's second child. Born sometime after the battle
with Cell. At the time his older brother Gohan is 16, he is 7.
Physically, Goten looks just like his father when he
was young, especially because of the hair. Apparently, the genetic coding
for hair in Saiyajin lower-level warrior males comes from a limited
pool, for Goku's father Bardock also had similar hair and a totally
unrelated lower-level warrior, Tulece also had a similar hair-do...
ANYWAY, Goten is a boy full of energy who has learned
basic martial arts skills from his mom, training with his best friend,
Trunks, and from his brother Gohan. His innate fighting ability inherited
from his father, just like Gohan, is great. He has naturally mastered,
along with Trunks, Supersaiyajin without going through special training
or using anger as a trigger.
Goten enjoys playing and fighting more than studying,
for apparently, Chichi was less harsh on him than his older brother.
He enters the 25th Tenkaichibudoukai, which turns out to be a kind of
reunion of sorts, since the late Goku was granted special permission
to visit the real world and attend the tournament for one day. Thus,
Goten sees his father for the first time.
In the Kid's Division of the Tournament, Goten ends
up fighting Trunks for the championship, and narrowly ends up with second
place. Goten and Trunks also enter the Adult Division, masquerading
as another fighter, Mighty Mask.
During the Buu confrontations, Goku, with his limited
time on earth, teaches Goten and Trunks a new technique he learned while
he was in the other world-Fusion. Fusion, a technique of the Metamoru
Aliens, allows two fighters of similar power levels to fuse to become
one, stronger fighter. With this technique, the two kids become Gotenks,
an almost totally different character-a haughty one at that. Gotenks
successfully fights evil Buu, but like Ultraman, time runs out, before
Buu is completely defeated. Ten years later, in the epilogue, Goten
is a teenager leading an ordinary life, trying to date girls.
