This article speaks of Gokus's biggest deficiency when it comes to his characterization, not when it comes to how he struggles.
The whole thing Dragon ball Franchise, it can be argued that if there is a person who can be crowned the individual protagonist, it is none other than Goku. Although the concept of a single protagonist does not really exist, with Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo and Broly, which was also taken at the forefront, the entire franchise began because of Goku, after his journey from a orphaned child to a universal protector.
Over the years, Goku has built up its strength to eventually become one of the most powerful figures in the entire multivers. However, despite his overwhelming strength and incredible characterization, he has always had a dazzling weakness that has often led to some of the most uncertain moments in all Dragon ball. In this article, let's go through what this might be and why this is the case.

Although it was not always the most important part of his identity, Goku, especially in the latter half of the franchise, has put the greatest meaning on the pursuit of strength and the need for him to reach his peak. As Saiyan loves Goku to fight and become stronger, then this way he has to improve himself every day to become the strongest and best version of himself that he could possibly be.
Although it is undoubtedly admirable, this is an indication of Gokus's largest weakness, which has plagued his character since the days of Z. This weakness is his obsessive need to become stronger and fight even more powerful enemies, which is something that has often been to the disadvantage of not only itself but also for others. Of course this is much more common in Super than in the previous parts of the franchise, but it is still quite obvious that this is a matter that has plagued Goku for a good time now.
For me, there is a better path to power. It's not love. It's rage!
Goku is the purest definition of a hero, as he always puts himself in harm to the biggest threat of the universe because of how much he values life and peace. But his need to improve his strength has often put innocent in danger, with the most common example is the power tournament, which saw many universe competing in a Battle Royale. The losers in this tournament would have the entire universe fully deleted, which leads to death of unclear trillion forms of life.
The whole reason why this event occurred in the first place was because of Gokus's desire to fight the strongest creatures in multi -friendly, which made him meet Grand Zenos to convince them to do this. Of course, he initially did not know that the universe would be deleted later, and this ended up being the much better alternative to what Grand Zenos had initially planned, but the fact is that the whole thing started in the first place because of the Gokus desire.
This speaks to a bigger problem with gocus character that Drake ball super has exacerbated tenfold, which is his stupidity. Although he had always been a stupid and secluded character in the first few days, Goku never made it completely inept when it comes to certain respects. Unfortunately, Super Stupid down his character with a large amount and effectively transformed him into someone who only cares about his pursuit of strength above all else.
While Goku has always tried to improve himself and his strength, he has never done it in a way that puts others in danger. Some of his greatest moments in the franchise have come when he has become quite serious and has set himself as a victim to ensure security for everyone else. Of course, this aspect of his character is still integrated into his identity, but when he pulls off things that put others in danger, it is seen by most fans as a storage against who he should be.

On the other hand, there is an advantage of Goku driving himself.
Despite its cross -border desire for self -improvement, which sometimes puts his loved ones on the injury, his commitment to the moth and his commitment to becoming the biggest version of himself led to some of the biggest moments in the franchise. In his fight against Frieza, Goku took advantage of all its strength and potential to unlock its Super Saiyan form, which goes down as no doubt the most iconic moment in the anime industry.
In the same way, many of the residents of the multivers were directly Goku to the tournament of power at all. Although this is still true, it definitely showed the fruits of his work when he finally unlocked the technology for the angels in the multivers, which is ultrainkt. Although it is undoubtedly selfish, Gokus is commitment to become stronger very admirable.
