Goku is stupid. He gets called idiot in every other chapter of the comic. He can live with very little and is a combat savant but he is bad with numbers (what comes after 19?), not particularly empathetic or able grasp social subtitles(he repeatedly ditches his friends and doesn't really get why they are bugged by it), is overly trusting and optimistic (that dude who sold his soul for the power to defeat you, he will totally come around if you tell him to enough), he could not even tell a male from a female until the latter stages of puberty. Goku was not ''just'' stupid though. He was also isolated from society and human contact of any kind for most of his childhood, his dead parental figure may have been a pedophile and he was brain damaged on top of all that...but he was still stupid.

And if Goku is the trope codifier, {{super strength}} or something along those lines should be added to the list along with {{big eater}}. Loud could be removed. Goku was often too noisy at inappropriate times but being loud in general was not a particular character trait of his. Otherwise I say we discard this if the original poster has abandoned it.
