​​@@BaldorfBreakdowns he detects Kami's ki and immediately puts two and two together. Here he detected Beerus's ki, saw the big costume in contrast to normal Monaka, saw the costume falling apart, saw both of Beerus's purple jeweled cat man hands in it, heard Beerus's voice, and none of it tipped him off. Dragon Ball canon is chapter 1 to chapter 519. Everything aside from that, whether it's the animated adaptations, the movies, the games, the sequels, etc, is supplementary material and non canon. Including Super.

Goku is also very poetic remember when Vegeta was being controlled by Babidi, Goku was all like "Vegeta, do you let yourself be a slave?!" Also he's like "don't tell me, you intentionally allowed Babidis magic to influence you" indicating he is very capable of connecting dots and communicating

[@AmadisLFE]

Yeah. Goku in the Buu Saga was mature, smart and all around a cool character. The only time he acted like himself again was like maybe two or three episodes, one of which was the filler in which he takes care of Pan. The others coming in the Goku Black arc. And it's honestly SAD.

[@ejandrews3065]

Yeah but z goku is different breed to super

[@AmadisLFE]

@@ItsMeBarnaby Goku's whole personality in Super is sort of a gag. The fact is, he's become a parody of himself in super. The people that say "This has always been Goku" clearly don't know Goku at all. After the Cell Saga, anyone with half a brain could notice how much he's changed in the Buu Saga. It's not a heavy change, it still feels like Goku. But he's definitely more serious, matured. It's both the fact that it's been 7 whole years since the Cell Saga, and his having to accept the rather important fact that not everyone he's with is a fighter or wants to be a fighter. An idea that was established as the norm since the start of Dragon Ball, his whole childhood. I mean even his wife's a fighter, even if all she does now mostly is complain.

Goku has never been smart in terms of academics but as a fighter and as a leader he has always been very intelligent. He’s also not as goofy as Super portrays him. When things got real Goku got serious. Like when Goku nearly crushed Frieza’s hand after becoming a Super Saiyan, when he confronted Cell in the ring to measure his power, or many times in the Buu Saga. I feel like Toei was trying too hard to make Goku into Monkey D. Luffy.

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

I was about to say Luffy isn't that dumb either, but he did fall for the fake Straw Hats, so...

[@jeskerjames3260]

@@BaldorfBreakdowns I don't mean to suggest that Luffy is entirely straight up stupid. I mean that Luffy himself has admitted he isn't good or smart when it comes to a lot of stuff and that's why he relies on his crew so much. It's not a negative for Luffy, it's just part of his character and always has been. The important point is that this isn't Goku's character. I think part of it too is the age difference. Luffy is much younger than Goku so there is a level of immaturity to him. Assuming Luffy grows older like in an epilogue chapter of One Piece, I can see him gaining some of the more serious attributes that Goku gained with maturity. Goku was more like Luffy when he was a kid in the original Dragon Ball, as a Goku got older he became more balanced. Being serious when needed and laid back when there wasn't a serious threat. And when Goku got angry...HOLY SH%T was it chilling to see. That glare Goku gives Frieza when he first goes Super Saiyan...I would not want to be have been on the receiving end of that glare.

[@lesterivan282862]

Goku was never dumb, he was a child that did not go to school and mostly grew up alone. He was ignorant about a lot of things and innocent but not dumb. I remember watching DB and feeling a certain pity for Goku every time his innocence and lack of understanding of things, it was meant to be a characteristic trait that reflected that he was just a child who lacked opportunities. Even in DBZ, the character development showed how Chi Chi was always adamant Gohan had an education and did not end up like his father. Although it was used at times for comedic relief, it was mostly a reflection of an innocent child who grew up in adverse circumstances. DBS writers missed the mark and made a cartoon of this trait. That's why I could never get into DBS fully, it just seems to me like they did not truly watch DB or DBZ and just made what they thought of Goku his character.

Dumb or not...I was thoroughly entertained by this 😆 love the dynamic of vegeta and picolo haha!

[@kalpa_sama]

I sometimes think Goku just acts dumd just for the fun of it... because when it comes to survival of the fittest in a fight, he suddenly becomes kinda smart.

[@avi.69]

Bro could learn how kale and caulifla, 2 chicks from other universe fight while fighting and dodged so good that everyone thought he was prolly using UI, could counter time skip in mere minutes, figures out what move his opponents are gonna make and counters it spontaneously, is extremely creative while fighting, so much so that he can totally rely on instincts to fight and counter, literally made his own technique when he was a kid, has insane problem solving skills (problems faced during fights), very high adaptability, high social skills (can talk to and influence almost anyone and can make allies) all of which are high intelligence feats (considering biq is still a form of intelligence) but is still somehow dumb, all thanks to Super.

[@aitorchul2262]

And also he is a sayian like vegeta but because is vegeta everybody needs to bow to his magnificence is getting out of hand really i like both but jesus leave goku alone and stop making like a 3 year old the guy is just innocent thats all not stupid but super really maked him soo inconsistent that is infuriating.

Goku would have been more of average intelligence post kami’s training which would be 100-105 for Japanese standards. Plus he displayed good sense and very much fighting intelligence that would have got better with experience. He would have stayed like that only gaining more experience and wisdom until of GT. Super Goku is more borderline retarded think Peter from Family Guy. Probably 75 or below. I think they took TFS too seriously for Super.

Theory: Goku obviously knew all along that Beerus was pretending to be Monoka, but he wanted to have a rematch so bad with him that he, himself, pretended to buy the bluff.

This is one of the better examples I've seen of this change by far. Still, the Monaka scene may have been a bit silly in general. Puar thought to copy Beerus, sure, but the "controlling" of other characters, not clothes beaming the suit... Goku got a lot dumber, but perhaps everyone regressed a little as well.

Thanks for providing the most perfect example of why I've been completely repulsed by dragon ball super and what they've done to Goku. Been saying this for almost the whole last decade now since it's been that long now, dbs goku is just about exactly like someone that got into some kind of major head accident and now has a mental disability and that, I knew someone that happened to back in highschool mid 2010's, he was extremely smart and cool as hell all the above like the % of people are, junior year he got in a bad, bad car wreck and ever since that day he was mentally disabled and his mentality reverted back down to an elementary kid. It was so, so damn sad for all of us. It's so fucking PITIFUL just how closely bad, that dbs goku so quickly and closely reminds me so much of him. That's no exaggeration of a joke. And idk what influence Toryama had there but just me, I just have to believe that he couldn't be happy about that either. I refuse to believe that was his decision. With boundless love rest in peace Toryama💙🐉

To be honest, I don't think it's that bad.
