"Too much bacon" - Future Trunks
"You take that back!" - Goku

How did Goku get heart virus? "Some unknown bacteria" lol

[informingg]

Future Trunks said that in his timeline, many people were affected by this virus but in that timeline, there was a cure to this virus. If everyone got that virus, then it was not from Yardrat nor from biting Frieza. It could be something else.

When I was a kid, I thought it was because he used the Kaioken technique one too many times

[LMAOConfusion]

its literally from when he was taking the driving tests. Gokus instructor kept coughing and was obviously sick, then goku got sick pretty soon after.

[tme]

He got the virus later than in future Trunks' timeline, because he came to Earth at a later time, so he either got it naturally or Gero made it, as it definitely was caused by going to Earth

[anthem]

Young Goku put a water rat in his mouth in order to save the rat from the collapse of the hidden Red Ribbon army base.
And the rat was the host of the virus.
I read this in a comic book called Dragan Ball SD

[Adhe-ecsu]

He caught it from an unexplainable convenient plot by Toriyama to create Future Trunks timeline and Future Future Trunks timeline

[abyss_d.twostar]

He pressed the muffin button to much, got hungry and ate one

[DBultima]

I think I know how Dr Gero managed to put it into Goku maybe he use that tiny fly that has been studying Goku's entire life

[damian]

the fact that in future trunks timeline he had a cure for the heart virus means he somehow got it on earth

[chrisvillarreal]

It was just a random virus that affected tons of people trunks said it himself that in his time line many people were affected but they had a cure by the time it was affecting masses of people Goku was probably one of the first to some how get most likely from eating raw foods.

[castlevaniax]

They explained that there was a strange heart virus on Earth that Goku got and died from that in future Trunks timeline there was a cure for. While yes they did not go into details about it, they did say it was going around on Earth.

[SpaceApez]

He caught Govid-20. Case closed 😂 go head n chug that future pepto bro.

[lucaslopes]

I heard a theory that he "caught" the virus when he drank Korin's sacred water (cho shin sui in the original). This is the water he drank to defeat king Piccolo. He only survived because he was pure of heart. But since Goku momentarily ceased to be pure of heart when he transformed into super sayan, that would have triggered the heart virus.

[gideo]

It has to be an earth-born illness. Remember that Trunks came to their timeline with the cure for the heart virus. Bulma is many things and wears many hats as a scientist, but Virology isn't one of them. And even a fictional medical community isn't going to spend the years it would take to develop a cure for just one man.

Farewell toriyama and thank you for affording light to humanity. And making this series. Thanks to you many have had awakened their creativity. You’re a spark of light to this world that will cause a domino effect in everything. Including every aspect of life even religion. But rest in peace.

[jayo]

All that food goku ate caught up to him 😂

[CouchKing]

Damn I just realized it’s probably other people on that planet that had the virus at that time and just died because trunks only brought the cure for Goku

[cobalt]

My headcanon is that Goku got the heart virus after biting Frieza's tail on Namek, with Super Saiyan speeding up its growth. I know it's silly, but besides the Yardrat theory it's my best bet on how he got the virus.
