Editing Goku Jr. (section)

== Trivia ==

* While the Funimation refers to Pan as Goku Jr.'s grandmother, the original Japanese say Pan is his great-great-grandmother. Since Pan would have been at least 100 when he was born, this would make more sense considering the huge age gap between the two.
** Despite this localization, Goku still implies that he's farther back in his lineage than simply great-great-grandfather in the Funimation dub, counting to three fingers before giving up.
* Although Goku Jr. is not given a true heritage percentage, it was stated in the ''Daizenshuu'' (published long before Goku Jr.'s appearance) that anyone without over a quarter Saiyan heritage could not achieve the Super Saiyan form due to their heritage being too diluted
** However, this conflicts with both Goku Jr.'s ability to use the form and the human descendants of Goku and Vegeta being capable of the transformation in Age 1000 in ''Dragon Ball Online'' (which occurs in a different timeline) who's Saiyan blood would be even more diluted than Goku Jr.'s.
** Goku Jr. and his rival Vegeta Jr.'s ability to use the form serves as evidence against arguments that Pan's Saiyan blood was too diluted for her to transform, as Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr.'s Saiyan blood would be more diluted than Pan's who is only 1/4 Saiyan, yet both Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. can utilize the transformation indicating that Pan would be able to do so as well given the proper motivation and/or training (as Caulifla demonstrated that Saiyans can achieve the transformation through training and instruction without emotional upheaval if they are sufficiently powerful).
*** The main reason why Pan never transformed in ''GT'' was because Toriyama never could quite figure out how to draw female Super Saiyans and presumably Toei Animation likewise avoided introducing any Super Saiyan forms for Pan or Bulla so as to avoid creating a design that might contradict Toriyama's vision should he ever come up with a design for female Super Saiyans, though since Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. resembled their male ancestors they were given Super Saiyan forms as Goku Jr.'s resembles Goku's and Goten's Super Saiyan forms while Vegeta Jr.'s is modeled after Vegeta's as the traits of male Super Saiyans had already been well established by that point. Ultimately female Super Saiyans would be introduced in ''Dragon Ball Online'' as well as other video games which eventually lead to the introduction of Caulifla and Kale in ''Dragon Ball Super'' as female Super Saiyans had been established in other media by that point. However, it remains to be seen if Pan or Bulla will achieve their own Super Saiyan forms like their relatives Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. in the future either in the manga, anime, or other media.
* Goku Jr. wears a red headband. This may be a reference to his ancestor Bardock, who similarly wears one around his head. Also, the character Son Wukong from the ''Journey to the West'' fables, whom his ancestor Goku was based on, has a restrictive headband that ironically mirrors the one Broly has on in his first appearance. It is also worth noting that in one of the chapter covers for Gohan's training sessions, he is depicted with a headband and at times the same outfit as the one Son Wukong wore. He also wears a headband when he enters the battle with Nappa and Vegeta in the Vegeta Saga.
* Both Goku Jr. and his ancestor Goku have beaten a Demon King at some point in their lives; Lord Yao and King Piccolo, respectively.
** Additionally, his ancestor Gohan was trained by King Piccolo's reincarnation Piccolo and fought against the King of the Demon Realm Dabura (who befriend his ancestors Chi-Chi and Videl while they were in Heaven during the Majin Buu conflict).
* Despite being named after Goku, Goku Junior's initial personality is more like his ancestor Gohan's before his training under Piccolo. Like Gohan, he starts out as a pacifist and crybaby, but gains courage enough to fight against evil and defend the innocent. His cowardly nature is also similar to his ancestor Mr. Satan though without the showboating and knack for persuasion, though he has Mr. Satan's cleverness as shown by him appealing to Mamba's vanity to distract her. He also becomes a Super Saiyan at a young age like Goten and Gohan. Additionally like Goku and Goten, he has a Super Saiyan rival who is a member of the Brief family (Goku's rival being Vegeta, Goten's rival being Trunks, and Goku Junior's rival being Vegeta Jr.).
* In ''World Mission'', Beat is revealed to be a descendant of Goku like Goku Jr., however it is not specified whether he is descended from Gohan (like Goku Jr.) or Goten.
