Background / History

Su Xuan transmigrated into the body of six-year-old Son Goten, Goku's second son, and chose to live as Goten. He awoke with a system that rewards victories: defeating comparable opponents yields Advancement Cards, while weaker opponents can provide their techniques and abilities. 1

Goten initially trained alone in the back mountains to adapt to his new body. He practiced ki control, learned flight, and displayed a Super Saiyan transformation that shocked Gohan, who had not achieved the form until age ten. Goten credits Chi-Chi with teaching him how to train before she stopped after his Super Saiyan transformation. 1

Seeking rapid growth before Majin Buu's arrival, Goten deliberately challenged Trunks, Krillin, László, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Gohan, and eventually the deceased Goku. These victories expanded both his combat power and his collection of stolen or copied techniques. 3 5 6 7 9 12

As his strength outgrew Earth’s fighters, Goten began confronting divine beings, alternate timelines, Demon Realm forces, Tournament of Power combatants, Angels, Zeno’s guards, and the Grand Minister. His later battles made him a central defender against threats to Earth, Universe 7, and the wider time-space continuum. 45 136 197 227 258

Appearance

Goten begins the story in a young child’s body and is repeatedly noted to resemble Goku as a child. His appearance changes dramatically depending on his Saiyan transformation. 3 4

• Super Saiyan — golden hair and eyebrows, upright hair except for his bangs, light-green pupils, and a golden aura. 1
• Super Saiyan God — bright-red hair, black pupils with red irises, and a solar-flame-like divine aura. 16
• Super Saiyan Blue — sky-blue hair and eyebrows, deep-blue pupils, layered blue-and-white aura, faint sparks, and star-like particles. 16
• Super Saiyan 5 — silver body fur, waist-length hair, and red eyes. 216
• Super Saiyan 6 — golden fur, gold eyes, and hair shortened from Super Saiyan 5’s waist-length state. 216
• Super Saiyan 7 — waist-length white-and-pink hair, pink eyes, forehead markings, red facial lines, golden aura, and golden lightning. 223

Personality

Goten is intensely motivated by strength and treats strong opponents as opportunities for advancement. He plans his fights strategically, such as setting up a spar with Trunks to obtain an Advancement Card, and later seeks out stronger beings from other timelines when his ordinary training stagnates. 3 145

Despite this ambition, he is not needlessly cruel. He reforms Majin Buu with food rather than killing him, spares Broly after defeating him, gives Yamoci a Senzu Bean after their battle, and refuses the Great Priestess’ offer to join her side. 32 151 249 257

He is practical and independent. Goten declines Kaiin’s invitation to join the Time Patrol because he prefers working alone, but he still teaches Instant Transmission to Pan and Bra and assists allies when necessary. 48 223

Goten has little interest in academics compared with martial arts, even after passing Orange Star High School’s entrance examination. 203

Abilities & Skills

Defeat-and-Advance System

Goten’s system strengthens him through victory.

• Defeating an opponent of the same tier can grant an Advancement Card for a higher stage. 1
• Defeating weaker opponents can grant their techniques, abilities, and memories of how to use them. 1 6
• Major rewards include Super Saiyan 2, Third Grade, Six, Seven, and Eight Advancement Cards. 3 9 159 203 227
• The system also stores items, including Goten’s Time Ring. 106

Saiyan Transformations

Goten possesses an unusually broad range of Super Saiyan forms, from the standard Super Saiyan state through Super Saiyan 7, alongside divine transformations. 1 16 217

• Can use Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan Third Grade, Super Saiyan 4, Super Saiyan 5, Super Saiyan 6, and Super Saiyan 7. 1 9 45 159 217
• Can access Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Blue, and Super Saiyan God 2. 16 69
• Super Saiyan 5 Full Power was sufficient to defeat Beerus. 71
• His tail was removed by Gohan when he was young; the system states that Goten would likely lose control if he became a Great Ape, though his godly power should shorten the loss of control. 16

Ki Manipulation and Martial Arts

Goten is a high-speed hand-to-hand fighter with extensive ki-based techniques acquired through training and system rewards.

• Flight Technique — learned through ki concentration shortly after transmigrating. 1
• Kamehameha — repeatedly used as a finishing attack, including against Evil Majin Buu, the Ultimate Four-Star Dragon, Whis, and Yamoci. 35 159 203 248
• Solar Flare — used to blind Trunks during their first serious spar. 3
• Special Beam Cannon — acquired after defeating Piccolo. 6
• Dodon Ray — learned following his matches with Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu. 6
• Kikoho — acquired by defeating László. 5
• Mafuba — learned from Tien Shinhan; Goten also creates bottles intended for the technique. 7 8
• Four Witches Technique — acquired after defeating Tien Shinhan. 7
• Bubble Gum Ghosts, Continuous Super Chocolate Rings, and Volleyball Fist — gained after defeating Trunks again. 7

Psychic and Kami-Derived Abilities

After defeating Piccolo, Goten gained several abilities inherited from Piccolo’s connection to Kami. 6

• Regeneration — can restore lost body structures, though regenerating the head consumes substantial energy. 6
• Telepathy — mental communication. 6
• Telekinesis / control power — can immobilize opponents; he later restrains Beerus with telekinesis. 7 71
• Creation — creates clothing, weighted training gear, Mafuba bottles, and other objects. 6 8
• Foresight — can observe distant locations from Kami’s Lookout, including West City. 6
• Clairvoyance — gained after defeating Old Kai, along with a crystal ball. 47

Time, Space, and Copying Powers

Goten later acquires abilities that extend beyond conventional ki combat.

• Instant Transmission — uses it to travel between Earth, the Kaioshin Realm, and other locations. 32 203
• Time-Skip — used to evade A'gan’s superluminal attack. 217
• Power of Time — gained by defeating the Time-Time Bird; can restrain even the weakened Grand Minister for a decisive fraction of a second. 197 227
• Copy — acquired from Seven-Three; allows Goten to copy abilities for thirty minutes. 165
• Dark Body and Darkness Devour — gained after defeating Mechickabura in the Dark Demon Realm. 47

Ultra Instinct

Goten can employ Ultra Instinct Sign and later reaches Mastered Ultra Instinct’s third level. 159 258

• Ultra Instinct Sign allowed him to overwhelm Yamoci after their evenly matched battle. 248
• Ultra Instinct puts severe strain on his body even with Infinite Stamina; Goten believes Majin Buu’s support prevents his body from collapsing under the burden. 227

Empowerment Ritual

Goten can perform a ritual that significantly increases another person’s strength.

• Uses the ritual to boost Trunks before Trunks spars with Gohan. 59
• The ritual is tiring enough that Goten postpones Piccolo’s request for it. 59

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Kaioshin Sword — demonstrates proficiency with the extremely heavy sword in the Kaioshin Realm. 32

• Crystal ball — reward received with Clairvoyance after defeating Old Kai. 47
• Time Ring — stored in his system inventory after returning from a future timeline. 106

Relationships

• Son Goku — Father. Goten seeks to revive him from the Underworld, challenges him to battle, and later surpasses him by a vast margin. 10 12 59
• Son Gohan — Older brother. Gohan initially discovers Goten’s hidden training; their spars motivate Goten’s advancement, and Gohan later supports Goten’s schooling. 1 9 201
• Chi-Chi — Mother and early training instructor. Her teaching is directly credited for Goten’s early combat development. 1 6
• Trunks — Childhood friend and principal rival. Their repeated spars fuel Goten’s system growth, while Goten later helps Trunks become stronger through his ritual. 3 7 59
• Majin Buu — Opponent whom Goten chooses to reform with candy and cookies rather than destroy. 32
• Old Kai — Freed by Goten from the broken Kaioshin Sword. Old Kai grants him Clairvoyance and later becomes someone Goten approaches to surpass his limits. 47 48
• Whis — Divine opponent defeated by Goten with a Kamehameha, resulting in the Super Saiyan Seven Advancement Card. 201 203
• Maron — Krillin’s daughter and later Goten’s Orange Star High School classmate. 4 203
