So from the new trailer of the upcoming movie Dragon Ball Super Broly we see
Goku was more like a kid than a baby when he was sent to Earth and he saw his
parents when leaving and he was crying and everything. Does Goku suffer
amnesia or he was too young to remember these events later?

Does Goku suffer amnesia?


He did hit his head as a baby, and that is what turned him from a vicious
destroyer to the calm and kind child he became. This could have caused
amnesia, though he was still a very young child/baby and maybe didn't even
form memories yet, so it would be the natural infant amnesia we all
experience.

As a side note, Toriyama himself wrote such a sequence, and it was noted that
it contradicted the lore established in the past. However, most of that lore
was Anime only, and not Manga only. Most of the lore we know of is from the
Bardock movie, The Father of Goku.

From the
[Wiki](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Minus:_The_Departure_of_the_Fated_Child)

So most likely, its simply that all we know about baby Goku was a mix of Anime
Filler and vague references from offhand comments, and Dragonball Minus is the
more official version released about 20 years later. Toriyama himself was
involved, though I can't find if he just wrote the cliffnotes, or illustrated
the entire manga at the moment.

No i don't think he suffers amnesia because he hit his head pretty hard while
he was on earth with grampa Gohan that's why he dosen't remember anything from
his past. Also it's normal i mean to me i can't remember anything from when i
was a infant. So this claim is false.
