yes, there's that too. goro has his whole "undesirable cursed child" thing coming from being a throwaway kid.
but i've been thinking – the idea of being a hero is important to goro too and he probably latched onto that idea because he wasn't wanted by anyone.
"a hero is special. everyone loves them. they get praised. people rely on them. i want to be relied on too." i assume it's something like that.

he kinda reminds me of seifer from ff8 in a couple ways with how he wanted to be a heroic figure because he saw someone/something that made him admire those types of people. and then he later gets manipulated by someone who plays into that desire.
