DBZ thoughts: Does Goku has dual personality?

[Batmex]

He's just a brainless moron on a regular day basis.

BUT in the battlefield he's a genious!

Can enybody explain this?

[Manhunter]

He's an idiot savant.Nuff said.

[Jowy Blight]

He's not an idiot, he just lived in a forest most of his life. He's pretty much a very simple and happy person, that doesn't mean he's brainless though. He's very smart when it comes to fighting since he finds it fun and he has been doing it most of his life.

He makes mistakes, just like everyone else. I really don't know where people get the idea that he's an idiot.

[kiddiesunshine]

yeah, he's no idiot. he's just not very saavy about things outside his home. and he's no fighting genius. he gets spanked in battle. buy he uses his instincts.

[Batmex]

He showed his smart side in the Cell Game, when he fought him just to let Gohan know his moves, he knew he couldn't beat him.

[Majin Vegeta]

Goku may lack some common sense, but the fact is that he doesn't need common sense to survive- all he wants is to be with his loving family, and that doesn't require common sense.

In the battlefield, he uses his genius because he has to. He's a very smart person, but only uses his brains when he has to. If he had his way, there would be no villains and he could just sit around, happy with ihs family, never once having to use his brains.

Everything Goku ever did was because he had to do it to protect his family. The Super Saiyan levels, the attacks, even sacraficing his life, all were to protect his loved ones. This shows what a selfless and generous person he is.

I never really think Goku is dumb, he seems like a carefree happy person. And as said in this thread, he has no reason to be otherwise.
