If they feel that Goten and Trunks are too childish and lack training... then TRAIN THEM. I really don't understand the logic. I know the writers have to make it mostly about Goku. But it really doesn't make any sense to have fighters with so much potential not doing any training at all. If eternal peace was a thing, then sure let them just be kids, but that is not the case. They should know by now that the lives of many hang on the strength of their group. It makes zero sense not to stay in a training posture.
I am happy to see them using some of the other characters, I'll just ignore anything about power levels and god ki and enjoy the ride.
Trunks and Goten are between 7 - 10 years old and grew up in an age of peace. Even by Dragon Ball Z's logic, there's absolutely no way they can teach them better power, skill, and technique in 48 hours than the other Earth Fighters that have had an entire lifetime's worth.
Great point, similar to how we saw Gohan stepping in to train a young Goten early in the Buu saga and then later saw Piccolo train them with Fusion. You have two infinitely powerful sons that will inherit your legacy, get them up-to-speed...especially given how Future Gohan had trained Future Trunks...he had NO ONE else because they were all killed.
I think they're just victims of the writing right now...hopefully we'll see some more focus on them.
When the legacy of Goku and Vegeta are over, then Trunks and Goten can carry the torch for the future. Future Trunks was raised in a war zone where all of the Earth's Fighters died at the hands of two powerful Androids. The need to train Trunks and Goten as Earth's defenders was there for about a day, ended within that same day (how long was the Buu Saga?), and continues to be that way.
As for T&G, deffo they're a victim of writing, but I don't mind that. Tbh I feel like they're largely redundant characters. (Sorry fans?) I don't think Goku seeking adults for this is bogus writing. (Not bringing them to friezas fight felt dumber to me.) They don't have time to train them or look for other team members to train with and this ep made it clear that it'll definitely have team aspect to it. But yeah sure ths is a writing choice and if T&G had been the most popular chars they'd have been in. Still think the actual excuse thy made up is better thought out than "uh homework". I mean, esp Goten is young, what if he flinches at crucial moments ("DODGE"). Again I get you can work around that as a writer but you can with anything. I'm okay with it, I like this lineup, it engages what fans have been criticizing dbz for head on (chars becoming irrelevant due to power lvl) and the story's excuse makes sense to me. I'm not gonna ask for more from dbsuper lol.
Bingo. Goten used his flight quickly against his battle with Trunks during their World Tournament match. If that happened in the Tournament of Power, he would have already been eliminated.
Ditto.
