Goku Antihero

Goku, a Saiyan where they have a strong thirst for battle and war, has an extraordinary perception at seeing the good within individuals. Despite, of their cruel or unjustified actions, he has the ability to forgive his enemies. This trait of Goku is excessively criticized throughout the television series as being his weakness. Even then, Goku only fights for the pure thrill and excitement of it all. Loves to take on a challenge head on no matter how the odds may seem slim in his favor. Even though the villains in Dragonball kill innocent people and have caused pain to others, he spares his enemies only hoping them to become good and do good deeds within the world instead of hurting others. It’s because of this many characters within the Dragonball series assume Goku to be an idiot and stupid. However, his most noteworthy ability to be able to becoming the hero he is, is his his undying will to succeed and to become the greatest. His tenacity and persistence allows his to reach his goals. As a warrior he is determined to push himself beyond his physical and mental limitations and as said before to never give up even with the odds stacked up against you. Anything he sets his mind to, he will do it. He expresses that failure is not a bad thing. As long as you fall forward you can move forward. As long as you get up after you fall, you can keep falling and keep getting up
