Goku has always been selfish

Many moments in the previous edition highlight his selfish characteristic

For a character like Goku, who has been an iconic hero for fans around the world for decades, it's hard to imagine him possessing a selfish trait. However, Akira Toriyama has consistently integrated this aspect into Dragon Ballprotagonist. One of the most notable examples Goku's selfishness is his role as a father. Throughout the series, Goku has often neglected his children in favor of pursuing battles. Even your interactions with them usually revolve around fighting and training them to become warriors.

After the events of the Cell Saga, Goku chooses to remain in the afterlife, despite knowing that he could be revived using the Namekian Dragon Balls. Instead, it is implied that he spends his time training and participating in world tournaments. When it is revealed that Seer Baba can bring Goku back to Earth for 24 hours, he decides to take this opportunity to fight Vegeta in the Earth tournament rather than dedicating his remaining time to his family.

Although Goku's neglect of his children in favor of fighting highlights his selfish nature, his most selfish act may be forcing his son, Gohan, to face Cell. Fans have debated for decades whether Goku could have defeated Cell if he had given his all.

His simple-minded, fighting-focused nature played a key role in making him the best fighter and the best Z Warrior, showing how immense passion and a focused goal can lead to remarkable results. With Vegeta summing up Goku's biggest flaw in four words in the last issue, it's clear that Dragon Ball Daima is embracing Goku's imperfections instead of portraying him as a perfect hero.
