When Trunks had blamed the tournament intermission on Gohan's defeat in the previous match, Goten quickly became agitated and aggressive towards the other in an attempt to defend his older brother's honor. He looks up to and greatly admires his older brother Gohan (he was the only person who finds Gohan's embarrassing Great Saiyaman costume to be "cool"). Goten is also well mannered, as he always bows before he faces someone in a fight. Between Trunks and himself, he is surprisingly the voice of reason, though he usually goes along with the former's ideas. He is also somewhat mischievous, due to being influenced by his best friend Trunks and joins him in their many antics. However, thanks to his mother's structured upbringing, he tends to show more common sense and proper manners than his father did as a child (even in some cases as an adult). Later in GT, he wears a white long-sleeved shirt with a purple T-shirt underneath and wears purple pants and golden boots.Īs a child, Goten is somewhat naïve, fun-loving and kind-hearted like his father. In the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga, Goten wears a green long-sleeved shirt with a yellow T-shirt underneath and wears purple pants and golden boots just like the ones Trunks wore. He begins to look like his brother Gohan as in contrast to Goku. In Dragon Ball GT, his hairstyle becomes spiky, straight and tilted. Goten's hair grew, so that he would not be mistaken for Goku and is seen with a shaggier hairstyle as such and also wears an orange Gi similar to what Pan wears at the World Martial Arts Tournament. His appearance drastically changes as he grows older, towards the end of Dragon Ball Z. Goten is known for looking almost identical to his father as a child, to the point when Goku first meets Goten he proclaims "I think there is a little me hiding behind your leg Chi-Chi!" This resemblance to his father is pointed out numerous times by other characters throughout the series, as well as in a few video games. He also wears a similar orange gi to Goku's, minus the kame symbol along with a dark blue long-sleeved undershirt and black training shoes with dark blue shin guards in the Majin Buu Arc. Goten's appearance as a child is very similar to Goku's childhood look, including messy, unkempt hair, same eye color, lighter-pale skin complexion and a playful face.
