Oh no. He does that.
I mean, Goku does seek to save his friends, it's just that he values a good fight far more than that, or at least as much.
We harp on Goku pretty hard (and on Toriyama for getting so uppity about Goku's hero status, which he himself cultivated despite how he intended to write him), but he is a hero.
Just an atypical one.
One Strip! One Strip!Several of Goku's most iconic moments are BDH moments.
The Saiyan Saga is basically one long Holding Out For A Hero moment. Then there's his arrival to Namek & meeting Frieza.
If Horihoshi got inspired by all that to make All Might then that's fact.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."So, Blinded by Rage has been launched, which reminded me of Abridged!Vegeta in Episode 51 mistakenly believing that his blinding by Semi-Perfect Cell's Solar Flare was caused by his own rage at Trunks' earlier defiance. What kind of Playing with a Trope is this with respect to Blinded by Rage?
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus."Do not eat Popo's snacks?"
I'm actually kind of looking forward to the scene where Gohan asks Bulma to make him a suit and Bulma is smoking. In the scene Gohan doesn't acknowledge it, but I'm sure that Team Four Star is going to point it out. I'd assume it's a habit she picked up from her dad, but it's the only time in the whole series where she's smoking.

Also worth thinking, i think Popo will make this Call-Back before he makes his Deus Exit Machina (Because i don't think Buu will kill him)
Popo: Well, i just noticed i've run out of pot, so i better get some. I leave Little Green to take care after you. Oh and by the way, you are all going to die
Krillin: Hmmm, i swear i heard that one before.

Uni catBuu had better kill him or he just becomes an insufferable Creator's Pet. Well, more than he already is.

From what I read the specific inspiration was All Might's "I Am Here!" motif, which came from how Goku would often show up at the last minute to save the day when things were at their lowest point throughout Dragonball Z.
