Summary
Goten, like his father Goku, inherited the trait of being caught off guard in battle, as shown in the episode Dragon Ball GT. Despite his immense power, Goten’s lack of focus and low defense leave him vulnerable to attack. This genetic trait proves that Goten has the lowest qualities of Goku, hindering his ability to reach his full potential as a fighter in Dragon Ball GT.
