Reminds me of Luffy. Except for the girl thing, One Piece has NO romance value.

Most all main characters relate to what you've said in one way or another.
We all love seeing a nobody become a somebody, right?

when has goku ever been a weak fool, goku has been above most characters in the series, he had superhuman strength for crying out loud and goku wasnt that far of from vegeta and he quickly surpassed vegeta with each passing arc

all your doing is looking for similarities to prove your claim despite kishi saying himself he was inspired by dragon ball

Kishi's favorite anime/manga was in fact Dragon Ball. He based his characters off DB and DBZ characters. For instance...

Naruto is Goku, not to bright, however, enjoys fighting, making themselves stronger via hard work, can make enemies want to change their ideology, etc. Goku and Naruto are also in love/infatuated with a temperamental person.

Sakura and Chi-Chi, both supposed to be attractive, yet very temperamental. They have insane amount of strength, despite their size and appearance.

Sasuke and Vegeta, both viewing themselves as the sole survivor of their race, despite the fact a few others survive. Bent on revenge and consumed with the greed for power.

How much he has based around DB and DBZ, not even I know, but I do know as much as the point that he idolized those shows.

Ok lets look at it like this: Superman vs Goku

Both aliens from another planet
Both super strong
Both can fly
Both wear red and blue
Both affected by radiation (Goku the moon) (Superman the sun)

Theres more but I cba. People with a lack of perspective (like the OP) see a few similarities and immediately jump to copying/plagarism, when the real fact is there is something called inspiration. There are far more differences between Naruto and Goku than there are similarities.
