All nouns in German are capitalized, in this sentence "Gute" is capitalized and becomes a noun making it specific to one person - "good one". Writing "Are you the good" in English only counts as correct because it literally directly translates into that. Had the "G" in Gute not been capitalized, it would make the same amount of sense in German as "Are you the good" does in English.
