Indeed, this is quite a difficult but also extremely interesting question. The butterfly effect of Goten’s complete disappearance is not small, and could even affect the future plot of Dragon Ball. We can review some key factors as follows:

Buu will be destroyed sooner

If you remember, after Buu appeared, the first “lucky” opponent he encountered was Gotenks – the combined version of Goten and Trunks. However, these two boys combined were like two comedians, and that was what caused the people in God Dende’s heaven at that time to be destroyed immediately afterward.

This will also cause another problem, which is that no one has enough power to kill Buu, so Goku and Vegeta will soon have to act and the outcome of the fight with Buu could be very different. much.

Goku’s family relationship

Chichi will only have one child right now, Gohan, so she won’t have to worry too much about taking care of her children. In addition, Goku will no longer be criticized for only going to practice and being lazy about taking care of his children. As for Gohan, there’s not much to say about him except that Gohan wouldn’t have found out that turning into a Super Saiyan would be that easy.

Trunks

Trunks is an important part of the Dragon Ball plot, unlike Goten, because he was also involved in Gohan’s battle with Cell. However, without Goten, it is unlikely that Trunks would have been able to reach Super Saiyan so quickly. However, it is likely that he will spend more time training with Vegeta, when there is no one to play with him anymore. However, Trunks will still win the children’s martial arts tournament, even though he has no chance to compete in the adult tournament.
