Goten and Gokuu

Gokuu and Goten look and act so much alike that I've had heaps of people emailing in to ask me to distinguish the two. So anyway, here's a section in which I'll try to help.

I'll start with a description of Goten, to compare with the others.

Goten has two different outfits, and rarely wears anything else. The first (right), is a gi made to look like Gokuu's. It has long blue sleeves, a black belt, black shoes and blue, ankle hight sort of pull up socks.
His second out fit (left) is the first one we see him in. It has light purple sleeves and trousers, with white turned up sleeves and a white belt. The blue coat goes over the top, with yellow trimmings and two ties.
His skin colour is a light tan. Goten never has a tail at any point in the series.
 

Goten and young Gokuu

The first thing to look for is the tail or nyoi-bo, as well as the kanji character 'kame' on Gokuu's shirt. His clothes are usually more reddish in colour. He has wristbands rather than sleeves, and often has no blue undershirt. Chibi Gokuu's clothes often vary in colour, anything from a purple gi to white and blue. The style of drawing from when chibi Gokuu was around was different, usually simpler with more rounded eyes. His skin is a little darker than Goten's.
 

Goten and adult Gokuu

Super Deformed Gokuu... NOT Goten

The size difference is obvious, but hey, I still find images of Super Deformed Gokuu (above right)in Goten galleries everywhere. Goten's clothes are a variation of Gokuu's at this age, so their clothes look the most similar in the Buu saga. Gokuu has a blue *short* sleeved undershirt, with blue wristbands. His belt is dark blue, and he has dark blue boots which are tied around the middle. In the earlier series, his clothes has the kanji symbol 'Go' or 'Kame' on the front and later on, the kanji for 'Kaio' on the back. His belt changed from being a simple tied one to a tucked in sort of thing around the Cell saga.
 

Goten and GT Gokuu

GT Gokuu's clothes are very different to chibi Goten's. Gokuu wears pink wrist bands, has a blue shirt, white belt and yellow/orange pants. He spends half the time with a tail once again. GT Gokuu's skin colour is a lot darker than chibi Goten's, and the art style has changed again. Pupils are larger and he's also a little shorter (Goten's height varies a little in the earlier series while the animators are getting used to drawing him.)
 
 
 
 


 

 

Goten and Gokuu Jr

Gokuu Jr is also very easy to tell apart from the others. He wears a blueish-purple shirt with a light blue t-shirt underneath. He has pink wrist bands like Gokuu's and spends half the time wearing a red headband. Pupils are larger than Goten's and once again, darker than Goten's. Easily distunguished by the amount of time he spends running away from things.
