Well Goku still has that Saiyan selfishness. It's really fucking hard to talk about because of TFS brainrot but Goku is a really selfish person
>There’s how, basically, Son Goku from Dragon Ball doesn’t fight for the sake of others, but because he wants to fight against strong guys. So once Dragon Ball got animated, at any rate, I’ve always been dissatisfied with the “righteous hero”-type portrayal they gave him. I guess I couldn’t quite get them to grasp the elements of “poison” that slip in and out of sight among the shadows.
That is direct from Akira Toriyama in an interview with Wired Japan, November 21st 1996. This does not mean Goku is evil. This does not mean that Goku doesn't care about his family. What this does mean is that Goku has an obsession with fighting that's so overbearing that it causes problems. He didn't spare Vegeta because he saw good in him, Goku spared Vegeta because Vegeta was the best punching bag he ever had. And Vegeta trying to kill his friends and family wasn't enough for him to give that up. That would be insane for anyone else but that's just who Goku is. The Saiyan push to constantly fight has been translated as a constant need to fight in order to push himself, thanks to Grandpa Gohan.
