Goku (Nikon23's Extended Universe)

Goku (孫 悟空, Son Gokū) is Son Goku (Japanese: 孫 悟空 Hepburn: Son Gokū) is a male Saiyan and main protagonist of the Dragon Ball meta-series created by Akira Toriyama. Initially believed to have been born on Earth, Goku later learns his true heritage and his birth name Kakarot (カカロット Kakarotto). As Goku grows up, he becomes the Earth's mightiest warrior and protects his adopted home planet from those who seek to harm it.

Goku is the younger son of Bardock and Gine, and the younger brother of Raditz.

After marrying Chi-Chi, they have two sons, Gohan and Goten.

Appearance:
Goku is the spitting image of his father, Bardock, possessing an identical black hairstyle unique to himself and his father, however, he has a softer face and lighter pale skin complexion from his mother, Gine.

Personality:
Goku is known for his cheerful, energetic personality and his love for competition and eating. He takes most situations in stride, rarely letting things get him worked; the first time he lost his tail, while initially freaking out, he instantly got over it. He will eat anything.

He has remarkable intuition to see the good in others in spite of their actions, though his capacity for forgiving has occasionally been criticized as excessive even to a fault and has lead to harm and death to those he cares about in extreme occasions; though Goku mostly fights to win, he often spares his enemies even if they in turn attack him.

Goku is pure of heart, possessing no negative feelings or thoughts. He is also shown to be very innocent since childhood, because of growing up in Mount Paozu and not having met anyone other than his grandpa until he meets Bulma. During his childhood, he had difficulty telling the difference between a male and a female without physically touching them, which often gets him into trouble, until he eventually outgrew this once old enough to understand the difference. In the anime, Goku has been shown to have a fear for needles.

Dragon Ball Minus - The Departure of the Fated Child
On Planet Vegeta, Kakarot was born on Planet Vegeta to his parents, Bardock and Gine, in Age 736. He was ranked a low class warrior in the Saiyan Army.

Kakarot had been inside his incubation chamber for three years since birth. In Age 739, Bardock makes the decision to send Kakarot away to Earth in an Attack Ball due to being worried about Frieza's ambitions. Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta a month after Kakarot has been sent away.

Between Jaco and Dragon Ball
Days later after being sent to Earth, Kakarot lands in Mount Paozu. While there, he is found by an elderly man, Gohan. He takes him in and feeds the newly found alien. Kakarot is eating when he is given the name "Son Goku".

At first, he was an extremely violent and ill-tempered boy, not obeying Gohan at all, but one day he fell down a ravine and suffered head trauma that sent him into a coma and nearly killed him. After he recovers, Goku's personality has completely changed, going from being a violent to a good-tempered little boy. Gohan trains him in Martial Arts, teaching him techniques such as the Jan Ken Technique, and giving him the Power Pole. He is seemly normal except for his ignorance of the world (which is demonstrated numerous times, often in humorous ways). But Gohan has made him aware about such things as the cities outside Mt. Paozu.

Goku developed the impression that his birth parents abandoned him in the mountains as a baby leaving him for Gohan to discover. One night, Gohan witnesses Goku's full moon transformation and told him to never go out when there's a full moon. Another night Goku kills his grandfather by accident after transforming into a Great Ape, having no  memory of the incident.

Goku nearly resumes the fight despite the fact that Tien will die, thinking he could revive Tien with the Dragon Balls, until King Piccolo tells him he had destroyed Shenron.

This leaves Goku at King Piccolo's mercy. As King Piccolo takes to the skies for his final attack, Goku, full of rage over the fact that Krillin and Master Roshi are gone forever, launches himself at King Piccolo with the one arm he had left, punching a hole through his chest and killing him.

During or after the training, Goku's tail is permanently taken off for the third and final time by Kami, who then makes a wish to the Eternal Dragon for the return of the moon. At some point during this training, Goku trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but was unable to last more than a month.

Three years later in Age 756, Goku is now 18 years old. After arriving on Papaya no one recognizes him at first as he has now grown into young man.

The fight goes on for a while, but when the word spreads that Piccolo Jr. is the son of King Piccolo, the crowd flees. Goku encourages Piccolo Jr. to transform into his Giant form, tricking him to fly into his mouth to retrieve the bottle Kami was in. Afterward, the stage is destroyed as they go into full battle. Goku seems to be doing quite well against Piccolo, until he is injured with a mouth blast from Piccolo in the shoulder. As Goku is about to die, he discovers how to fly and uses that energy to avoid one of Piccolo's attacks. Goku finishes Piccolo off with the last amount of energy he has left with a full force headbutt to the chest giving Piccolo a ring out. After Goku is declared victor, he gives Piccolo Jr. a Senzu Bean to keep Kami alive and give himself a good rival After Goku defeats Piccolo he becomes a World Champion of the Tenkaichi Budōkai.

Raditz, Vegeta and Namek Saga
In Age 761, Goku is 24 years old and is still living at Mount Paozu in a newly-built house near his old house, with his wife Chi-Chi and their four-year-old son, Gohan. After saving Gohan from falling down a waterfall, Goku drops by the Kame House with his son, to introduce him to Bulma, Master Roshi, and Krillin. During the reunion Raditz arrives on Earth and comes to Kame House and reveals to Goku's Saiyan heritage, and informs him that he was originally sent to Earth to destroy the planet's inhabitants and prepare it to be sold. After refusing to join his older brother, Goku is deefated and his son is kidnapped.

To defeat Raditz and save the Earth, Krillin and Master Roshi offer to help, but Goku does not accept their request, due to the fact that if they die again, they cannot be brought back, since they have already been killed. Piccolo, who had been listening to Raditz's speech while hiding behind the Kame House, asks Goku to help him fight this new being, so they join forces. Goku makes the ultimate sacrifice by holding Raditz in place so Piccolo can kill him with the powerful Special Beam Cannon, which manages to kill both Raditz and Goku.undefinedJust before he dies, however, Raditz informs Piccolo and Goku that two even more powerful Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa are on their way to Earth, and will arrive in one year.

With Krillin by his side, Goku dies, and Kami takes him to Other World where King Yemma tells Goku to take Snake Way to the planet of King Kai for additional training to defeat the Saiyans. During his journey on Snake Way, he encounters and escapes Princess Snake and even manages to escape Hell after accidentally falling off Snake Way.

When Goku finally makes it to King Kai's Planet, he mistakes King Kai's monkey, Bubbles, for the King himself, and he follows the monkey's actions until he meets the real King Kai. He is given ridiculous challenges before he starts his training, including having to tell King Kai a joke, catching Bubbles, and smashing his pet cricket, Gregory, on the head with a heavy hammer.undefinedDue to the planet's higher gravity, Goku struggles with the challenges, but eventually completes them. After that, Goku masters several new techniques and increases his strength considerably.

A year later In Age 762, His friends on Earth manage to wish him back to life using the seven Dragon Balls, but, due to a miscalculation on King Kai's part he still must travel back down Snake Way, in order to reach Earth and join the battle against the Saiyans. By the time Goku arrives, Yamcha had been killed by a Saibaman, Chiaotzu had self-destructed in a failed attempt to kill Nappa, Tien Shinhan had killed himself by putting all his strength into a final but futile Spirit Tri-Beam, and Piccolo had sacrificed himself to save Gohan from a powerful attack launched by Nappa, which inadvertently killed Kami as well. After defeating Nappa, Goku witness Vegeta's ruthness after he kills his own comrade.

Knowing he will have to battle the more powerful Vegeta, Goku requests the move to an isolated location and Vegeta agrees. Before battling, Vegeta tries convincing Goku to join him but Goku refuses because he is content on Earth. As the battle unfolds, they seem even. Vegeta gains the upper hand with even the Kaio-ken not working. Goku, in a desperate attempt, powers up to Kaio-ken times three, and overpowers Vegeta, causing Vegeta to go in a rage and attempt to destroy the planet with a Galick Gun. Goku's Kaio-ken Kamehameha and Vegeta's Galick Gun blasts collide, and Goku beats Vegeta in the Beam Struggle by going Kaio-ken times four, however, causing his body great pain.

When Vegeta returns, he transforms into a Great Ape using a Power Ball, and Goku realizes he is the one who murdered his grandfather, and apologizes for it, hoping for forgiveness. After a long battle, Vegeta is eventually defeated by Goku's Kaio-ken and Spirit Bomb techniques, and the timely intervention of his remaining companions Krillin, Gohan and Yajirobe. Krillin attempts to take Vegeta's life using Yajirobe's katana, but he is stopped by Goku, who convinces him to spare his life to give him a second chance at changing his evil ways and hopes to have a rematch one day.

After the battle with Vegeta, Goku is severely injured, and Korin is out of Senzu Beans, so Goku has to stay behind in Wukong Hospital with Chi-Chi while Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma go to planet Namek to find the Namekian Dragon Balls in order to revive their fallen friends. After a few weeks, Korin grows a new batch of beans and sends Yajirobe to give one to Goku, which heals him completely. Goku then uses Dr. Brief's new spaceship, which he constructed from Goku's original Attack Ball, to go to Namek. During his trip to Namek, the artificial gravity machine in Goku's ship malfunctions, causing it to create 100x earth's gravity, nearly crushing Goku. When he finally gains control of the machine, however, he decides to leave it on this high setting in order to train to fight Frieza. However King Kai advises him to steer clear of Frieza, claiming that he is the strongest being in the universe and that Goku would stand no chance against his evil might.

Captain Ginyu, Frieza and Trunks Saga
Arriving on Namek, once again Goku enters a battle already in progress, this time saving Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta from the assault of Recoome, a member of Frieza's elite fighting squad, the Ginyu Force, who were called to dispose of the three. Goku heals the three of them with Senzu Beans, and shows his new powers by defeating Recoome with one elbow to the stomach, and then takes on Burter and Jeice together. After Burter is defeated, Goku later fights Captain Ginyu. Critically injuring himself, Captain Ginyu then swaps bodies with the more powerful Goku but cannot fully control his new body and power. Vegeta takes this chance to battle him, seriously injuring Goku's body. Goku manages to get his body back after intercepting a beam sent by Captain Ginyu to swap bodies with Vegeta. Goku's body, worn out and beaten, uses a Medical Machine inside Frieza's spaceship taking several hours to heal.

When he emerges, once again it is to join a battle in progress, where Vegeta meets his doom against Frieza. Goku hears Vegeta's tearful departing speech about the torture Frieza inflicted on Vegeta and the Saiyans, and buries Vegeta and gives his respects. In anger, he declares that he will defeat Frieza in the name of the Saiyans and Namekians he killed. Goku and Frieza's battle begins, with Goku still having a decent amount of confidence in his abilities. Goku and Frieza start off evenly matched, but Frieza gains the upper hand and Goku is quickly overcome.

After Goku combines Kaio-ken x20 and his Kamehameha to no effect, Frieza starts pummeling Goku, but Goku remembers his Spirit Bomb ability and decides to gather energy, leaving himself open. Piccolo (who had been resurrected and was transported to Namek to help), Gohan and Krillin attempt to distract Frieza from Goku so he can gather the energy. Finally, with all his might, Goku launches the attack, which hits a struggling Frieza, and seemingly destroys him, along with a good portion of Namek in a devastating explosion. Worn out, Goku begins to laugh, along with his friends, who believe Frieza has been defeated. But even Goku's most powerful attack, the Large Spirit Bomb, fails to kill Frieza. Finally, when Frieza kills Krillin and critically injures Piccolo, Goku, in anger, taps into his inner power reserves and transforms into a Super Saiyan

After defeating Frieza, Goku then flies to Frieza's spaceship and presses buttons to try to cause the ship to fly, however, it does not work and Frieza's spaceship falls into the lava. He quickly escapes Namek using one of the Ginyu Force space pods. The pod takes Goku to Planet Yardrat, which was going to be the Ginyu Force's next target. His friends, who were teleported to Earth by a wish made with the Namekian Dragon Balls, believe him to be dead. However, months later, when they attempt to revive Goku and Krillin by warping them to the check-in station, they learn that Goku is alive. When they decide to transport him back to Earth, he declines, stating that he'll return later. While on Yardrat, Goku learns a new technique called the Instant Transmission.

Two years later, Goku returns to Earth where he is confronted by Trunks, the half-Saiyan son of Vegeta and Bulma from the future. The teenage Super Saiyan had just killed both Mecha-Frieza and his father King Cold a few moments before Goku's arrival. Trunks then tests Goku's Super Saiyan strength in battle by assaulting him furiously with his sword, which Goku knocks away multiple times with one finger (albeit charged with energy), claiming that he knew Trunks would not use his full power.

Satisfied, Trunks gives Goku medicine for a heart virus that he will contract in one or two years, telling him to use it when he starts feeling the virus' effects. Future Trunks also warns him about two androids that will threaten the Earth in three years. Goku, Gohan and Piccolo then spend the next three years training for this new threat.undefinedHowever, Future Trunks' visit somehow alters the onset of the virus, so it does not manifest during those three years (six months prior to the Androids arrival). Seeing no point in using the medicine when nothing appears to be wrong with him, Goku stopped taking it.

Android, Imperfect Cell, Perfect Cell and Cell Games Saga
Three years later, two androids, Dr. Gero (as Android 20) and Android 19, appear and attack a city. The Z Fighters confront them, and Yamcha is first to be attacked, having been impaled by Dr. Gero's hand and having his energy stolen. However, he is saved by the use of a Senzu Bean, and the Z Fighters lead the two killing machines out of the city to fight. Despite being a Super Saiyan, Goku is bested by Android 19 when he begins to drastically weaken from the heart disease he was warned of, which starts manifesting itself during the fight. However, Vegeta, who now is a Super Saiyan as well, manages to save Goku before he can be defeated by the androids, and, after toying with it for a bit, destroys Android 19 with ease, enjoying the battle greatly.

Yamcha takes Goku to Chi-Chi to get the medicine that will save his life from the killer virus. Meanwhile, the rest of the Z Fighters learn from Trunks, who has returned to help them fight the androids, that history had somehow been altered, and that the androids of his time, Future Android 17 and Future Android 18, had not been the ones they were fighting. Soon after, Dr. Gero states he will unleash No.17 and No.18, and he flees from the battlefield. They try to stop Dr. Gero from activating them but fail. However, once Dr. Gero activates 17 and 18, they are revealed to be unruly and kill him, and activate another android, Android 16, as well, who was solely created to be Goku's assassin.

While the Z-Fighters try and fail to stop the androids, Piccolo (who had recently fused with Kami) discovers a new threat named Cell, a large biological life form created by Dr. Gero, made with DNA taken from Goku, his allies, and foes they fought in the past. Cell was designed to absorb Androids 17 and 18 in order to achieve a perfect state, kill Goku, and conquer the cosmos. Cell hunts down the androids and absorbs Android 17, transforming into his second stage. Meanwhile, Goku heals from his sickness and takes Gohan, Vegeta, and Future Trunks to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's Lookout to obtain a year of training in one day under heavy gravity and incredibly volatile temperatures.

Vegeta and Future Trunks go in first and while Goku and Gohan enter the Time Chamber next, go to find and fight Cell. While in the chamber, Goku gets to Super Saiyan Third Grade and Gohan believes that Goku can beat Cell with this power, however Goku explains that his speed has decreased in that form and the power to keep the form is too much. Goku realizes that half Saiyan hybrids like Future Trunks can turn Super Saiyan, so he trains Gohan intensely and helps him become a Super Saiyan as well. During this training, Goku notices that the potential Gohan has can easily surpass Goku's own powers, especially after Gohan managed during their training to transform into a Super Saiyan 2 before losing consciousness.

After ten days have passed, the Z Fighters head to the Cell Games. After the supposed strongest person on Earth, Mr. Satan, is easily defeated, Goku offers to be the first Z Fighter to fight Cell, believing that he is no match for the villain in order to truly test Cell's abilities. Goku finds himself almost equally matched but still at a disadvantage against a heavily suppressed Perfect Cell in every way, and cannot seem to gain the upper hand after many attempts. Even after trying the Instant Kamehameha (a combination of the Instant Transmission and Kamehameha), which destroys Perfect Cell's upper half, he watches in horror as the android regenerates easily, thanks to Piccolo's cells in his body. After getting tired and worn out, Goku decides to give up and leave the battle to Gohan, whom he is convinced has the hidden power necessary to defeat Cell.

After Gohan tells Cell that when he gets angry he gets much stronger, Cell starts to get curious and tries to force Gohan's inner powers out of him by making his children, the Cell Jrs, attack Gohan's friends and his father. All the Z fighters cannot beat the Cell Jrs, including Goku, who was worn out from his battle with Cell. After Android 16 attempted self-destruct on Cell, who blasted him, 16 asks Mr. Satan to bring him (his remaining Android head) to Gohan, and he then tries to convince Gohan that fighting is sometimes needed. When Cell destroys Android 16's head, this triggers a change in Gohan, forcing him to ascend to Super Saiyan 2, a form in which he greatly surpasses Cell in his Perfect form and Power Weughted Form. When a beaten Cell tries to destroy the Earth as a last resort, Goku is forced to step in with his "Instant Transmission" technique when Cell is about to trigger his self-destruction. He teleports them both to King Kai's Planet, where he is killed by the explosion Cell caused, along with King Kai and his pets Bubbles and Gregory.

However, Cell reconstructs himself as Super Perfect Cell, a trick even Cell himself did not know he had and uses the recently learned Instant Transmission to go back to Earth. Goku then motivates Gohan from the Other World to help fuel Gohan's Kamehameha wave against the reconstructed Super Perfect Cell, which, after a lengthy beam lock, successfully obliterates him. After Cell's defeat, Goku insists that he should stay dead, even though they could resurrect him, because he has attracted too many problems to Earth, like Frieza and the Red Ribbon Androids. Goku decides it will be safer for Earth if he does not return, and Earth has Gohan to protect it if needed.

Bojack Unbound (Movie)
While a dead Goku is hanging around with King Kai in the Other World, the Z Fighters enter  Tenkaichi Dai 'Budōkai' on Earth, which was hijacked by the alien mercenary Bojack. He had been freed from his imprisonment when Cell made King Kai's planet explode, thanks to Goku. The Z Fighters are unable to defeat Bojack and his band, and when Bojack starts to bear-hug Gohan to death, Goku teleports to Earth using Instant Transmission (something somehow against the rules of the dead), which allows him to appear briefly and punch Bojack away. Goku also tells Gohan to protect the Earth and unleash all the anger and power he had in him. Goku then vanishes back to the Other World. Not sure if he really saw his father, Gohan is nevertheless encouraged enough to release his power and defeat Bojack.

Other World, 25th Tenkaichi Budōkai and Babidi Saga
Goku is shown on Snake Way with King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory after the battle with Cell left the great king without his planet. King Kai insists they head to the Grand Kai's Planet to go see the Grand Kai and enter the Other World Tournament. The winner would be trained personally by the mighty Grand Kai himself. When they arrive, they confront King Kai's rival, the West Kai, accompanied by his strongest fighter, Pikkon. Grand Kai instructs Pikkon to travel to Hell and stop Cell, Frieza, King Cold, and the Ginyu Force from causing havoc. Goku accompanies Pikkon to the fight and takes down the Ginyu Force, only to be astonished when Pikkon takes down Cell with ease, and proceeds to fell Frieza and King Cold with one blow.

Upon his return to King Kai, Goku is welcomed by many of King Kai's powerful warriors, such as Olibu, who was once the hero of Earth. During the Tournament, Goku easily makes his way through the tournament by defeating Caterpy of the South Kai, Arqua of the East Kai, and Maraikoh of the West Kai. Goku then faces off with Pikkon in the finals. After a long fight, they are both disqualified on a technicality, but the Grand Kai allows them both to train under him.Over the next seven years, while Goku is training in Other World he achieves Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, the latter of which boosts his power even beyond his already powerful Super Saiyan 2, but delivers an excruciating strain and immeasurable ki consumption.

Seven years later, Goku is given special permission to return to Earth for one day to participate in the 25th Tenkaichi Budōkai, which he knows Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, and his youngest son Goten, will be attending. Upon his return he meets his second child, Goten, who had been born after his death in the Cell Games, and Videl, Gohan's girlfriend from his high school who is the daughter of Mr. Satan, the fraud who received the credit for saving the world from Cell. Goku was going to be set up against Vegeta in the 6th match, finally able to settle their rivalry, but had to be postponed because Videl was beaten badly by the supposed weakling Spopovich, who, along with Yamu, is controlled by the evil wizard Babidi. While Gohan is matched up against Kibito (the assistant of Shin, who was in the tournament as well), Spopovich and Yamu both steal Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 energy and left the tournament while all the Z Fighters in the tournament ditched the tournament to follow them to Babidi.

Shin and Kibito introduced themselves and informed the Z Fighters about the plans of Babidi who wishes to bring destruction and terror across the whole universe by bringing back his extremely evil monster puppet by the name of Majin Buu. The Z Warriors follow Spopovich to Babidi's ship where they are ambushed by Dabura, the powerful ruler of the Demon Realm, who kills Kibito and turns Krillin and Piccolo to stone. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Shin enter Babidi's ship and they take turns defeating each of his minions on each room of the ship, their power leaving Shin in awe. Goku fights Yakon who absorbs his energy, but Goku kills him by overpowering and exploding him.

While Gohan is against Dabura, Vegeta complains that he can do better. When Babidi hears that, he possesses Vegeta through the evil in his heart and turns him into Majin Vegeta making him evil once again. They are transported back to the tournament, where Vegeta blows up part of the stadium, killing many people, to force Goku into a fight. Albeit reluctantly, Goku agrees. Goku and Vegeta are both transported to a deserted landscape for them to settle their battle, while Gohan and Shin continue on to stop Babidi. Goku and Majin Vegeta have an earth-shattering battle which gives more than enough energy for Majin Buu's awakening. Although they are evenly matched at Super Saiyan 2, Goku is not surprised Vegeta has pushed his limits in training over the past seven years. However Goku is horrified when Vegeta admits he allowed Babidi to take control of him so he can reawaken the evil in him and defeat Goku, who condemns Vegeta for using this as an excuse for betraying his family. The battle abruptly ends when Goku senses that Majin Buu has been released and pleads with Vegeta to help him defeat Majin Buu. Vegeta refuses to listen, even when told Majin Buu will kill his family, but Goku punches him down for bluffing. In a false show of agreement, Vegeta knocks Goku out from behind while he is getting a Senzu Bean out of a bag. Vegeta then eats the only Senzu Bean left and flies off to face Majin Buu alone.

Majin Buu, Fusion and Kid Buu Saga
Upon awakening, Goku could sense neither Vegeta nor Gohan anywhere and comes to the conclusion that they have been killed in the battle (when actually Gohan was narrowly saved by the badly injured Supreme Kai, and only Vegeta died in a vain attempt to try and eradicate Majin Buu). He heads to Kami's Lookout and is healed by Dende, who confirms that Vegeta sacrificed himself in an attempt to destroy Majin Buu. After transporting everyone to the Lookout, he tells the bad news to them. With the little time he has left on Earth, with the help of Piccolo, he decides to teach Trunks and Goten the Fusion Dance, which he learned from Metamorans while in Other World, so they may form one immensely powerful being that might stand a chance against Majin Buu.

After finding out that the Dragon Radar is still in West City and Majin Buu is about to cause more destruction, Goku decides to distract him while allowing Trunks to head into West City and retrieve the Dragon Radar before it is destroyed along with everything else in West City by Majin Buu, otherwise they will never be able to find the Dragon Balls. Goku teleports to Majin Buu's location, and shows him and everyone (via Babidi's telepathy) the incredible power of Super Saiyan 3, whose energy could be sensed all the way to Supreme Kai's planet. Goku then engages in a fight with Majin Buu, whom he overpowers blow for blow. Amazingly, Majin Buu is still having a good time and enjoying the fight, even forcing Goku to narrowly deflect an imitated version of his own Kamehameha wave, which chips over a tenth of the Earth. He later states, that he probably could have won, but that he wanted to leave it in the hands of Gohan, Trunks, and Goten because he will not be there forever, and that they need to have a shot at saving the universe instead of a dead fighter. Unfortunately, the action of sustaining Super Saiyan 3 to briefly fight with Buu shortens Goku's time on Earth and he is forced to return to the Other World.

Once Goku has returned to Other World, he learns that his son, Gohan, is not dead, but in fact training with Shin on the Kai Planet teleporting there only to just miss having his head removed by Gohan practicing with The Z Sword. Gohan has been training with the legendary Z Sword, and to test its strength, Shin summons a block of the densest metal in the universe, Kachin, as testing material. Goku throws the cube at Gohan, expecting the Z Sword to slice the block in half. Instead, the sword snaps in half and from it emerges Old Kai, who tells them that he will fully unlock Gohan's potential with a ritual.

Through a Crystal Ball, Goku watches the fight between Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and Super Buu with much anticipation, amazed that the two boys who, alone, could only access the Super Saiyan state achieved Super Saiyan 3 so quickly when fused. As Gotenks is about to finish Super Buu after a lengthy battle, he reverts to his base form and quickly defuses. Gohan (after having his hidden power released) then arrives, effortlessly thrashing Buu with his newfound powers, but Super Buu escapes by self-destructing until Goten and Trunks can fuse again an hour later, and he then absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo, gaining the upper hand.

When Gohan fails due to Super Buu's stolen powers, Old Kai gives his life to Goku so that he may return to Earth to help Gohan. Goku is also given Potara Earrings so that he can fuse with Gohan in order to create an unmatched warrior that would easily destroy Buu without even the need to transform according to Old Kai. When Goku arrives on the battlefield, much to the surprise of Gohan and Super Buu, he cuts Super Buu in half with a Destructo Disc and tosses one of the earrings to Gohan. Gohan misses for the grab, and Goku tells Gohan to hurry and find the earring. He stalls Super Buu, fighting as a Super Saiyan 3. After the fight, Gotenks defuses inside Super Buu, and his power drops to almost 1/3 of his original power. Goku states that he is not much of a threat anymore and realizes that they can beat Super Buu easily. However, Gohan is absorbed when Super Buu catches him off-guard.

At this moment of despair, the newly resurrected Vegeta appears and Goku asks him to fuse with him. Vegeta refuses and the two briefly battle Super Buu but fail miserably. Goku then tells Vegeta that their families and friends have been killed and begs for Vegeta to put their differences aside so they can save the Earth. Vegeta finally agrees and the two of the most powerful remaining Saiyans fuse to become Vegito. Vegito then easily thrashes Super Buu, even with Gohan absorbed. Super Buu tries every technique and attack he has got against the fused Saiyans, but Vegito manages to dodge by all of them without much trouble. After a lengthy fight, the mighty Vegito wins easily. However, supposedly due to Vegeta's arrogance in not simply finishing Buu off, Vegito is eventually absorbed by Super Buu, with a Saiyan Shield protecting him. However, it is later revealed that he chose to be absorbed on purpose because he wanted to rescue his friends and family before killing Super Buu.

Inside Buu, Vegito automatically separates into the two Saiyans supposedly due to the properties of Super Buu's digestive system (their time limit ran out, at this point they believed the fusion was permanent). While in the stomach, Goku is attacked by enzymes that quickly cover his body, making him sticky and burning him in pain. While Goku struggle to get enzymes off, a roundworm shows up. Goku is almost eaten by the roundworm until he finally blasts the enzymes off his body. After traveling through Super Buu's body, Goku and Vegeta reach Super Buu's brain where they find Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo, unconscious but still alive. After freeing them and having to fight Super Buu inside his own body, Vegeta decides to remove the unconscious fat Majin Buu from Super Buu. Despite pleas from Super Buu, Vegeta pulls the fat Majin Buu free and Super Buu undergoes another transformation. Goku and Vegeta then escape from Super Buu's body with the newly rescued Z Fighters. Super Buu then transforms back to his original form, Kid Buu.

Outside, Goku rescues Mr. Satan, his dog Bee, and Dende, but fails in saving Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo before the newly transformed Kid Buu destroys the Earth in an extreme show of power. Kibito Kai teleports in and saves Vegeta, Goku, Dende, and Mr. Satan by bringing them to the Sacred World of the Kai. After regenerating, Kid Buu sets out to find Goku and Vegeta by copying Kibito Kai's instantaneous movement technique. When Kid Buu finds them, Vegeta and Goku have a Rock-Paper-Scissors match to see who fights first. Goku wins and fights Buu. In the Anime, he starts the fight as a Super Saiyan 2, but eventually transforms into Super Saiyan 3. When he is a Super Saiyan 3, he fights evenly with Kid Buu for a short time, taking the advantage often. However, Goku had failed to account for the strain that fighting in a living body would have on him, and soon becomes exhausted. He attempts to gather up his strength while Vegeta distracts Buu, but his Super Saiyan 3 transformation drains him of his energy reserves and he soon loses the ability to maintain the form. At Vegeta's suggestion, Goku begins gathering energy for a Super Spirit Bomb that would employ energies of the Earth and its occupants.

Using King Kai's telepathy, Vegeta speaks to the newly revived people of Earth and begs for everyone to donate power to Goku's Spirit Bomb, which they are hesitant to do. Everyone on New Namek and the Other World gives energy for the Super Spirit Bomb and possibly many other planets as well, along with Goku's close friends. Meanwhile, Fat Majin Buu, while trying to hold off Kid Buu, falls in battle leaving a battered Vegeta to protect Goku while he forms the Super Spirit Bomb. Eventually, Mr. Satan finally convinces everyone on the newly regenerated Earth to give Goku all the energy he needs to destroy Kid Buu once and for all. With the contribution of power from Earth, Goku launches the Super Spirit Bomb. But as impossible as it seems, Kid Buu actually stops the Spirit Bomb and slowly begins to push it back at Goku. Vegeta realizes Goku used the rest of his power to gather and form the bomb and has nothing left to defeat Buu.

Using the last wish from the Namekian Dragon (the first two were spent restoring Earth to its normal condition and then reviving all those who died since Babidi's arrival except the evil ones), Dende wishes for Goku's full power to be restored. With his power restored, Goku powers up the Super Spirit Bomb even more, transforms into a Super Saiyan and stops Kid Buu's forward progress and the Super Spirit Bomb comes back to Kid Buu. After several moments reflecting over the events that led to this moment, Goku makes one last wish to himself, that Kid Buu be reborn as a good being so they can fight again one day. With the blessing of Earth's residents, Goku destroys Kid Buu. After Dende heals Goku and Vegeta, they find Majin Buu still alive. Vegeta attempts to finish him off but Goku convinces Vegeta to spare him. They are then teleported back to Earth and rejoice with their families, with Goku announcing he has come back to life again. Six months after the defeat of Kid Buu, Goku summons Shenron to erase Majin Buu from the Earthlings' minds. Later, Goku shows up late to Bulma's party due to him watching over dinosaur eggs.

Yo Son Goku and Friends Return!! (OVA)
Two years after Kid Buu's extinction, Goku becomes a farmer. Goku questions why he is working when his family is supported by Mr. Satan, but Chi-Chi says that he must do hard work like a "normal" human. Goku and his family are invited by Mr. Satan to come to the opening of his hotel. At first, Goku is reluctant to go, but when he hears he may eat as much as he wants, he goes. When he gets to the hotel, he first has a little food competition with Vegeta, later when they are eating they feel the ki of two beings heading for earth, as a result Goku and the others go and check it out. They appear to be Gure and Tarble, the little brother of Vegeta, Tarble tells them two strong enemies and former servant's of Frieza are coming to Earth. Goku wants to fight them, but then the other fighters show that they want to fight too.

They then begin to argue until they agree to pick radishes; a game that declares the one with the longest radish as the winner, this is Trunks. When they go back to the hotel, Abo and Cado arrive. Goku tells Goten that he may help Trunks with his fight. Goten and Trunks defeat Abo and Cado, so Abo and Cado merge into Aka. Because of this, Goten and Trunks decide to fuse into Gotenks to even the match. After a short fight, Aka starts to overpower Gotenks with strong attacks. When Gotenks can not handle it anymore, Goku and Vegeta intervene after Aka launches a Super Wahaha no Ha. Goku plays a "dirty trick" on Vegeta, so he can fight alone and then goes Super Saiyan to do a Kamehameha on the energy attack Aka launched. The Kamehameha dissipates Aka's Super Wahaha no Ha. After that, Goku punches Aka in the gut, thus making Aka split up.

Afterward, they resume the banquet they were having before the arrival of Tarble and Gure. This time with the addition of Abo and Cado eating Goku's radish. As they eat, Goku and Vegeta begin to argue and turn Super Saiyan. It ends with everyone happily watching the argument except for Chi-Chi and Bulma.

God of Destruction Beerus and Golden Frieza Saga
Four years after the defeat of Kid Buu in Age 778, Goku is working as a farmer in order to gain money by Chi-Chi's demand. Some point later, while plowing the field, Goten appears with lunch for Goku and Goku tells Goten to work the tractor while he eats. After he was finished eating, Goku starts training in Super Saiyan. However, Goku's training distracts Goten, causing Goten to fall off the mountainside. Goku quickly notices and uses Instant Transmission to save the tractor and Goten. He explains to Goten that he needs to watch what he's doing so that he could train in case a stronger foe than Kid Buu appears.

Later that day, Goten tells Goku that he and Trunks had gotten Videl a wedding gift, when Mr. Satan arrives to offer Goku 100 million zeni, as a way to say thank you for helping him defeat Buu. Goku initially declines, not understanding how large a sum 100 million zeni actually is and tells him to give it to Vegeta but Mr. Satan says that the Briefs are richer than he is. Goten reminds Goku that if he gave Chi-Chi all of the money, he could easily quit his job and go train with King Kai. At Mr. Satan and Goten's recommendation, Goku accepts the offer, and after talking with Chi-Chi, transports to King Kai's Planet to start his training.

While training, Goku hears his name in a conversation between King Kai, Old Kai, and Kibito Kai to keep Goku away from the God of Destruction Beerus. Goku scares King Kai and gets paint all on him. To distract Goku from the conversation, King Kai brings up what Goku did, teleporting Cell to his planet, blowing it into bits, as a result causing King Kai's death. After being successfully distracted by Kais' conversation, Goku continues his training pushing tons of weights. Goku remembers that he was missing Bulma's birthday party and gets scared of what she might do. Goku starts to notice that King Kai was acting strange and wonders why. With King Kai frustrated, he slips the name Beerus and sparks Goku's interest. King Kai starts to explain to Goku Beerus' role in the universe: he is a god keeps balance in the universe and is the most fearsome god. This interests Goku even more, which makes Goku want to meet Beerus. King Kai senses Beerus' ki getting closer and encourages Goku to not do anything reckless and also tells him to hide in his house. Beerus arrives on King Kai's planet which strikes fear into King Kai.

Beerus asked Goku if he ever heard of the name Super Saiyan God but Goku denies. Beerus is disappointed and asks him if he was the one who defeated Frieza and Goku claims that he did as used the power of a Super Saiyan. Goku's power in his base was examined by Beerus and says that he's couldn't have beaten him unless he transformed. Goku is curious about Beerus's power and asks to have a battle with him. Beerus accepts to see the power of Goku. Goku immediately transforms into Super Saiyan as soon as he was ready. He charges Beerus but he shows no effort towards Goku. Goku quickly bores Beerus, making him want to leave. Goku turns Super Saiyan 2 and finally Super Saiyan 3 which surprises Beerus that Goku managed to surpass his limits. After Goku is defeated by Beerus, Goku is given a Senzu Bean by King Kai, recovering from his battle with Beerus.

After the battles of the Z Fighters and Beerus, Beerus decides that he should destroy planet Earth. Goku intervenes Beerus before he does so and asks for time to summon the Super Saiyan God. Beerus gave him the time he needed to use the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron. After Goten and Trunks laid out the Dragon Balls, Goku summoned Shenron and asks him if he knows of the Super Saiyan God. He tells them how to create one, proceeding to speak the procedures required to make one before disappearing. Now knowing how to create it, Goku along with Vegeta, Goten, Trunks and Gohan attempt to channel their powers over to Goku, but they only succeed in increasing his power. Whis notes that they need six righteous Saiyan and Videl soon steps up, announcing her pregnancy. They then attempt the ritual once more, this time with Videl. With six righteous Saiyans' powers combined, the ritual was reattempted. After a lengthy procedure, he has finally become, a Super Saiyan God.

In the finale of the fight Goku is struggling to counter Beerus, leading him to punch the energy sphere and completely destroying the blast. Goku, as a result, falls toward Earth. Vegeta catches him before he could hit Bulma's ship. Goku who is in pain, tries to convince Beerus not to destroy the Earth. As Beerus is ready to destroy the Earth, he fires a ki blast at Bulma's ship but misses because he falls asleep. Whis takes off with Beerus but before he does, he thanks Goku for entertaining Beerus.

After fighting him, Goku has a big meal. Goku hears the news of Gohan becoming a father and tells him to give the baby plenty of food. Goten asks him how it felt becoming a god, Goku responds that he didn't actually become a god and that he doesn't like it. Goku tells Vegeta that he'll become the next Super Saiyan God, but Vegeta tells him that he'll surpass him, Beerus, and Super Saiyan God.

After the battle with the God of Destruction Beerus, Goku wants to train on King Kai's planet but he has to continue farming because Chi-Chi has used the 100 million zeni on Goten's education and he has a granddaughter on the way. Goku is trying to get his tractor fixed by Bulma but no one is at home. He passes by Satan City where he sees a match between Mr. Satan and Galbee. Mr. Satan volunteers Goku to take on Galbee because he is scared to fight. While only in their fighting stances, Goku has to go because he sees Chi-Chi and Piccolo. She doesn't want him fighting and wants him to be a good grandfather for Gohan's upcoming daughter. At night time, Goku returns home, where he sees Goten and Chi-Chi there. Goku is hungry but doesn't want to go in because he doesn't want to be in trouble.

Six months later in Age 779, After Pan born Goku learns that Vegeta has been training on Beerus' planet with Whis and he asks Bulma for Whis' next return and she says that he'll return in a month or two. Chi-Chi doesn't want Goku training but he perseveres to try to. Goku waits impatiently, interrupting Bulma while she's doing activities. She eventually gives him a phone to get in contact with him when Whis shows up. After some time, Bulma calls and tells him that Whis has arrived on Earth. Goku goes to Capsule Corporation where Whis and Bulma are eating with each other. Whis agrees to take Goku to train with him but he has to wait because Whis went to Earth to eat. As Whis finished, he is ready to leave but Chi-Chi is approaching in the arms of Gohan. Goku rushes to leave with Whis so he wouldn't get in trouble.

Goku and Whis are approaching Beerus' Planet. When they get there, Goku is happy to see Vegeta and notices that he's gotten stronger since being trained by Whis for six months. Whis gives Goku a new gi because Vegeta received a new one from Bulma. Goku and Vegeta used weights to train. They both had to carry their weight and travel along a path before they get lost in another dimension if they fall off. Later that day, Goku and Vegeta go to their room to prepare to go to sleep. Goku says that he doesn't want to do the housework but he still wants to keep training. Goku falls asleep moments after. The next day, Goku and Vegeta are sparring against Whis to hit him. Their match is stopped because they lacked the speed to keep up. Whis starts to tell Goku and Vegeta their weaknesses and says that Goku is too calm in his fights and could lead him to fail in the end.

When Frieza has been revived, Goku senses a huge power from Earth doesn't know what it is. Goku is told by Vegeta to ignore and continue doing housework. Goku and Vegeta are training when their sparring match has been ceased by Whis because they were just throwing blows at each other. Beerus points out that Goku and Vegeta have gotten stronger and wants to fight them. Goku says that he and Vegeta are still below Beerus in power and are no match for him. Beerus suggests to send Goku and Vegeta to That Place so they can train to get stronger quicker. While in that place, Goku and Vegeta cannot move until Vegeta figures out that they shouldn't have their ki leaking out. They also recognize that the place they're in is similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber but filled with godly ki and no signs of an exit.

Without knowing where to go, Goku and Vegeta go towards Whis' staff. Upon returning his staff, all of the pizza has been eaten because Goku and Vegeta needed to eat or they would've starved and died. Beerus is furious with them so he chases them into the woods. Whis sees on his staff that he's received a message and recognizes Bulma. She tells him that Frieza has come back and she needs Goku and Vegeta. Goku is trying to use Instant Transmission to get to Earth but he can't sense anybody's ki. When Gohan fully powers up into a Super Saiyan, Goku is able to sense it. Goku holds out his hand for Vegeta to grab hold but Vegeta grabs a hold of his shoulder. Goku speaks with Gohan to congratulate him for summoning them so Goku could use Instant Transmission. Goku also tells him that he'll wish Piccolo back with the Namekian Dragon Balls.

He then instantly teleports Piccolo to the Lookout for Goten and Trunks to explain to Dende what transpired. Goku wonders how Frieza was resurrected and was told by Vegeta that the Dragon Balls have been used. Frieza begins to explain his torturous times in Earth's Hell, which has no meaning to Goku. Frieza then leaves his hover pod to further power up to combat Goku. Frieza transforms into his final form and in the process, he kills the rest of his army. Goku wishes that he goes first against Frieza because Vegeta has taken out Ginyu. Frieza is waiting for Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan but Goku says that that power is not needed yet.

Goku is fighting Frieza but gets kicked in the back by Vegeta resutling in bothof them fighting each other until Frieza intervenes. Frieza breaks up their fight to ask Vegeta question his loyalty. Frieza wants to get his revenge on Goku so he wants Vegeta to wait a little longer. Goku and Frieza decide to reveal their true power to each other. Goku goes first and begins to concentrate his power. Goku unleashes his new power, Super Saiyan Blue. Goku is impressed of the new transformation and says that Frieza, who is not impressed, should not act tough about it. Frieza questions if he just went Super Saiyan but Goku says that he's a Super Saiyan with the power of Super Saiyan God. Goku welcomes Frieza his turn to show his power.

After a seemingly even conflict, Frieza gains the upper hand and knocks Goku down to the ground, leaving the Saiyan surprised saying he took years of training to reach his current level but Frieza caught on like it's nothing. Frieza applauds his efforts but promises to tear him to shreds but the sight of Lord Beerus stops him for the moment. They resume their duel once more and once again Frieza gains the upper hand, leaving Goku exhausted and critically injured. Despite the fact that Goku is losing, he refuses to give up in the fight. Vegeta suggested that he and Goku switch places and that he would kill Frieza himself but Goku declines. After Frieza's weakness is revealed, Goku is caught with his guard down when he is shot through the chest with a Bad Laser Beam from Sorbet. After Vegeta told Goku so, he kicks him towards the location of Krillin, Gohan, and the others so that he can use the last Senzu Bean on him and with that a success, Goku thanks Vegeta for saving him and allows him to finish their fight with Frieza. Goku later explains to his friends that Vegeta too achieved his new Super Saiyan Blue form on his form thanks to his own power. When Frieza blows up the Earth, Goku and his friends (except Vegeta) are shielded by Whis and they can only stand by and watch as their beloved home world goes down in flames. Blaming himself for this happening Goku regrets not killing Frieza right away until Whis offered to use his Temporal Do-Over to turn back time to before the incident happened and he accepted his offer. As soon as the technique is finished, Goku turns into a Super Saiyan Blue once more and charges up a Kamehameha so powerful that it destroys Frieza and sends him back to Earth's Hell. Vegeta shows up behind him afterwards and gives him a harsh scolding but Goku explained he had no choice so Bulma and the others explained everything towards him.

Goku then heads back to the Lookout to pick up Goten and Trunks and gather the Namekian Dragon Balls to revive Piccolo. He then explains to Piccolo what happened after he died and laughed after hearing Trunks saying he'll cut Frieza in half (a reference to what Future Trunks did to Frieza before the present Trunks was born). Goku then enjoys the feast Bulma threw and the food served in it. He later talks to Vegeta about planning to work together next time but Vegeta disagrees to that, and surprisingly, Goku agrees.

Universe 6 and Copy Vegeta Saga
Sometime after the battle against Golden Frieza, Goku and Vegeta are still training with Whis on Beerus' Planet. While Goku and Vegeta bicker at each other, Champa and Vados suddenly arrive on Beerus' planet. Goku notices that they both look like Beerus and Whis and was told by Vados that she is Whis' sister and Beerus and Champa are twins. Beerus is woken up by Whis with the request of Champa. When they both get back, Goku is told that the Universe 6 has their own Earth and the Earthlings were wiped out by war. Champa challenges Beerus to a five on five Tournament of Destroyers for the Universe 7's Earth, which makes Goku excited.

After Whis explains why Beerus and Champa don't fight each other anymore, they discuss the details for the tournament. The rules will be the same as the Tenkaichi Budokai and will be in five Earth days on the Nameless Planet at 10 a.m. If Champa won, he will use the Super Dragon Balls to switch the universes' Earths. If Beerus won, he will give him the six Dragon Balls he collected but Beerus has to find the last one on his own. Goku and Vegeta join Beerus' team off the bat. They also select Piccolo, Buu, and Beerus wants the strongest fighter he's ever faced, who's not Whis. Gohan is suggested by Vegeta to fight because he has the highest potential but Goku doesn't want him to because he's focused on studying.

Goku and Vegeta go back to Earth to get Bulma to invent a new Dragon Radar to locate the last Super Dragon Ball. Goku tests it out but it doesn't work where they are, at the edge of the universe. Bulma gets in contact with her sister, Tights, to get Jaco to go to Earth. Goku and Vegeta train together in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for 3 years (3 days on Earth to the outside world). The day of the tournament, Goku and Vegeta finish their training in the Time Chamber and have beards after training for three years. The gang is on their way to Beerus' planet to pick up Beerus and his pick for the team. They are being taken their by Whis in his Cube.

On the Nameless Planet, Goku is amazed along with the rest of the group seeing the size of the Super Dragon Balls. Upon landing, he notices Shin and Kibito and wonders why they're separate. While Shin is explaining the situation, Goku notices two beings, the Universe 6 Supreme Kai Fuwa and his attendant. Goku quickly rushes to meet them but is told that the written exam is beginning. After passing the written exam, the Tournament of Destroyers begin. In the first match Goku defeat Botamo from Universe 6, but he lose and is enliminated by Frost from Universe 6 due to being poison. After watching the fights between Frost and Piccolo and Vegeta and Frost, Beerus locates a wound on Goku's hand from Frost's poison needle, allowing Goku to be re-registered back into the tournament on the grounds of Frost cheating and violating tournament rules to defeat Goku. However, Beerus absolutely insists that Monaka will remain the trump card of the team no matter what, which leads to Goku taking Vegeta's place when he loses.

After Vegeta is defeated by Hit, Goku fights against the legendary assassin from Universe 6. After throwing himself at Hit a few times Goku manages to block one of Hit's moves, to which Hit though was a fluke and attacked again with his Time Skip and this time Goku draws blood from Hit and begins to go on the attack, countering Hit's time skipping ability by predicting where he is going to be, much to the annoyance of Vegeta. Hit, realizing his Time-Skip is useless is forced to fight seriously and Goku goes Super Saiyan Blue and attacks Hit, forcing him to power up. Goku, seeing that Hit is more powerful than he thought, now unveils his new technique, the Kaio-Ken form while in Super Saiyan Blue. Goku notes the chances of him doing it is roughly 10% and failure will likely kill him and explains what Kaio-Ken is. Goku explains that combining the Kaio-ken technique with his Super Saiyan Blue form is possible due to the form's required calm mind and perfect innate ki control, and he did not attempt to combine it with the previous Super Saiyan forms because they were too rough on his body and he would have died. Goku then powers it up ten times and goes on the assault, totally outclassing Hit but notes his body is starting to give out so Goku fires a Kamehameha at Hit. Hit however survives and the fight continues.

Determined to prove to Champa that he and Hit are more than just "pawns", Goku asks Beerus to get rid of all the tournament rules, realizing that Hit is holding himself back because of the non-killing rule, and he had a few opportunities to finish Goku off. Champa agrees, while Beerus disagrees, and they begin to argue. Wanting to fight Hit another time, Goku deliberately falls out of the ring, losing by ringout, and Hit is declared the winner. When Goku disperses the Kaio-ken technique, he falls into an immense amount of pain, and collapses. As Piccolo carries Goku back to the sidelines, the final match between Monaka and Hit is announced. As the match begins, Monaka lands a soft blow on Hit, but Hit pretends to be hurt and launches himself out of the ring, with Monaka being declared as the winner, and Universe 7 is announced as the winner of the tournament. Goku is impressed with Monaka's strength, then flies over to celebrate with his friends and family.

As Champa prepares to kill his team for losing. As he prepares to act, everything is interrupted by the arrival of Zeno and his attendants. As Zeno mentions that he would be interested in organizing another competition like this, Goku casually tells him it would be fun, as Champa and Beerus are flustered. after a formal hand shake with Zeno, Goku and the others witness Beerus and Whis summons Super Shenron and make a wish on the Super Dragon Balls.

After the Earth of Universe 6 is restored, Goku and the group return back to Earth. During a party in West City at Capsule Corp. Goku challenges Monaka to a fight Beerus disguised as Monaka. Some time later, Goku develops a Delayed Onset Ki Disorder. After accidentally destroying his house, Goku, Chi-Chi and Goten  move in with Gohan and his family in Satan City for the time being until their house is repaired.

At one point, Goku is seen baby sitting his granddaughter, Pan for the first time. After recovering from his illness, Goku resume his training on King Kai's planet. On Planet Potaufeu, Goku uses instant Transmission to save Goten and Trunks from a Copy Vegeta. After learning the origin of the clone, Goku is order by Vegeta to defeat the clone in under 3 minutes. after a fight with the clone, Goku eventually manages to defeat the clone and save Vegeta's life in the process.

Future Trunks and Universal Survival Saga
After learning from Krillin that Vegeta is off training with Whis, Goku leaves Earth using Instant Transmission to go train also. Whis receives a distress call from Bulma on Earth, who shows Goku and Vegeta a severely injured and unconscious Future Trunks, having barely escaped his alternate timeline with his life. After Future Trunks is healed, he explains what happened in the future, and Goku and Vegeta are shocked to hear about Goku Black. Goku asks Future Trunks to spar with him to see where he stands against Black. They both start off as Super Saiyan 2. Impressed by Future Trunks' strength, Goku then transforms into a Super Saiyan 3, which greatly shocks Future Trunks.

A dark rift appears in the sky and Goku Black emerges from it, quickly noticing the presence of the actual Goku. Future Trunks wants to fight him but is stopped by Vegeta, as Goku goes to fight in the young Saiyan's place. Goku greets Black and challenges him to a fight, to which Black responds by attacking him with a energy ball that pushes Goku far out of the city into a mountain. Regrouping, Goku goes Super Saiyan 2 and goes on the offensive. Black is able to keep up by channeling a mysterious dark energy. Future Trunks and Krillin notice that Black is slowly getting stronger, and Vegeta blames Goku's habit of not going all-out from the start. Throughout the fight, Black resists the rift's attempts to pull him back in until the fight leaves him too fatigued to do so. Before being pulled through, he destroys Future Trunks' Time Machine and leaves the group wondering what happened.

Bulma comes forward with a capsule containing the Time Machine that Cell came in. Thanks to lab notes retrieved from Future Bulma, she will have it up and running soon. Goku wants to train while Bulma and the others fix the Time Machine, but Whis and King Kai don't want to train him on their planets so Goku decides to eat instead and suggests that Future Trunks should take it easy. Goku then goes with Beerus and Whis to Universe 10 because they have an idea on Black's true identity. Arriving in Universe 10, they meet Zamasu and his Master Gowasu. Goku introduces himself to Zamasu, who is thrown off by a mortal acting casually in the presence of Gods. Goku asks Zamasu to a fight but is stopped by Beerus, who tells Zamasu and Gowasu about Goku Black and the Time Ring he was wearing, which is a time-traveling tool possessed only by Gods. Gowasu shows them his Time Rings, which are all present. Goku asks to fight Zamasu again, and Gowasu insists the fight happen. After his brief fight with Zamasu as a Super Saiyan 2, Goku later return back to Universe 7 along with Beerus and Whis.

After a crash landing on Earth caused by Goku arguing with Beerus, the group have dinner, where Whis tells Future Trunks that Black and Zamasu have similar ki but differ in many ways. Beerus and Whis go home and Goku decides to take a nap. Later, Goku feels Vegeta and Future Trunks' ki while they are sparring. He teleports Bulma to their location where they watch as Vegeta harshly trains Trunks. Goku is summoned to Zeno's Place, leading Beerus to warn him not to say anything about Goku Black or time travel while he's there. Upon arrival, Goku, Whis, and Shin are greeted by the Grand Minister, who is said by Whis to be among the five strongest fighters in the Multiverse. He then escorts them to Zeno's throne room where Zeno is elated to see Goku. Zeno reveals that his reason for summoning Goku is that he's looking for a friend to play with. Goku agrees to be his friend but says he has business to attend to before he can play. He promises to bring Zeno a new friend when he returns. Zeno gives Goku a button that will summon him or teleport Goku to him wherever it is pressed. Goku, Whis, and Shin then leave and head back to Universe 7.

Goku, Vegeta and Future Trunks all arrive in the future where is attacked by the resistance army, who mistake him for Goku Black. Their attacks are deflected by Future Trunks, who explains that Goku is an ally. Goku and Vegeta accompany Future Trunks as he reunites withFuture Mai, Future Yajirobe, the rest of the resistance army, and the surviving civilians. After Vegeta leaves them capsules of food and supplies given to him by Bulma, the three Saiyans leave to confront Goku Black. Goku Black confronts the trio after Vegeta gets his attention with a ki blast in the air. To everyone's shock, Goku Black reveals his Super Saiyan Rose transformation. After Vegeta is heavily wounded, Goku and Futre Trunks join in the fight agaisnt Goku Black and Future Zamasu.into Super Saiyan Blue, Goku engages in combat with Goku Black, until Future Zamasu appears and stand next to Goku Black, wanting to kill Goku himself. After being beaten, Goku, Future Trunks and Vegeta are sent back to the main timeline in the Time Machine.

After crash landing in front of Capsule Corp., the three injured Saiyans are quickly given Senzu Beans by Bulma as Goku had accidentally left them behind in the bathroom before they went to the future. After Shin visits Capsule Corp. to relay the information about Zamasu probing Zuno for information on the Super Dragon Balls and Goku. Goku and Whis then hypothesize that Zamasu is going to use the Super Dragon Balls to create a servant with Goku's appearance and power and then wish for immortality the following year using the Time Ring. Goku goes with Beerus, Whis, and Shin to Universe 10 and observe from a distance as Zamasu kills Gowasu. Whis then performs a Temporal Do-Over and rewinds time, blocking Zamasu's attack with a glove he creates. Zamasu, cornered and exposed, prepares to fight Goku but he is intercepted and easily destroyed by Beerus. With Beerus insisting the future is now safe, Future Trunks decides to go and check, with Goku, Vegeta and Bulma going with him.

Upon arriving in the future, Goku, Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Bulma realize that the future remain unchanged. While Bulma stays with Future Mai, the Saiyan trio prepare to fight Goku Black and Future Zamasu again. Goku Black reveals his true identity; he is Zamasu from the past and used the Super Dragon Balls to switch bodies with Goku before killing him and using the Time Ring to travel to different timelines. He then recruited Future Zamasu, killed Future Gowasu, and used the Super Dragon Balls to make Future Zamasu immortal before destroying them. He also says that he killed every Supreme Kai, and in turn killed every God of Destruction as the two positions are life-linked. The two teams fight head-to-head again, with Black and Zamasu holding the initial advantage. After learing that Goku Black has killed Chi-Chi and Goten in his original timeline this enrages Goku, who powers up and overwhelms the two by himself for  a moment until Goku Black grows even stronger from Goku's assault and uses his increased strength to defeat him. After witnessing Future Trunks assume a new transformatin, Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma return to the present to figure out a plan.

After Goku learns the Evil Contaiment Wave technique, Roshi gives him an urn to seal Zamasu in, and he, Vegeta and Bulma return to the future. Back to the future with Bulma and Vegeta, Goku once again fights against Future Zamsu and later Goku Black. Along with Vegeta and Future Trunks. As Vegeta's new capabilities allow him to push back Goku Black, while Goku fights Future Zamasu to prevent him from helping his partner. Black manifests his anger into a ki Scythe, which opens a rift in the sky. The rift spawns several clones of Goku Black, which surround Goku and Vegeta. As they destroy the clones, the rift continues to produce more. The rift blocks Goku's usage of Instant Transmission, preventing him from chasing after Future Zamasu who is going after Future Trunks, Bulma and Future Mai. Eventually Black senses that Future Zamasu's ki is diminished due to nearly being sealed with the Evil Containment Wave.

Black immediately teleports to Future Zamasu, allowing Goku to do the same, taking Vegeta to Future Trunks and the others. Everyone watches as Goku Black and Future Zamasu use Potara Fusion to combine into Fused Zamasu. Goku and Vegeta engage Fused Zamasu in battle but are overwhelmed by his divine power. Future Trunks returns to the battlefield and engages Zamasu in Super Saiyan Anger, giving Goku and Vegeta a moment to recover. Out of options, Goku suggests to Vegeta that they use Fusion. Vegeta is hesitant, but given no other options he reluctantly agrees. Gowasu explains that as Goku and Vegeta are not Supreme Kais, the Potara fusion will last one hour. Goku eats a Senzu Bean and the Saiyans use the Potara to fuse into Vegito, who fights a climactic battle with Fused Zamasu in Super Saiyan Blue. Zamasu's body continues to mutate during the fight, becoming larger and more grotesque. Vegito begins to overwhelm Fused Zamasu but his fusion ends prematurely and the Saiyans are dropped to the ground with a tremendous punch.

Fused Zamasu prepares to finish Goku and Vegeta off, but his attack is blocked by Future Trunks' Light Sword. Future Trunks takes on Fused Zamasu and his Light Sword becomes a Sword of Hope as it absorbs the energy of Goku, Vegeta, and all of the remaining humans on Earth. Future Trunks uses the Sword of Hope to cut Fused Zamasu in half, seemingly finishing him off. Everyone celebrates until a rift appears in the air, growing into a giant dark cloud that overtakes the sky. The cloud turns into a sea of sinister Infinite Zamasus Goku and Vegeta try to power up, but lack the ki to transform. Goku fires a Kamehameha alongside Vegeta's Final Flash and Future Trunks' Galick Gun but they are easily nullified. out of options, Goku summons Future Zen-oh and he nearly escape back to the main timeline with Future Trunks, Future Mai, Bulma and Vegeta, as the alternate timeline is destroyed. With the threat over, Goku gets Future Trunks to goes back to the destroyed Future and brings Future Zen-oh to the present timeline. Goku returns with Future Trunks to the extinct future and takes Future Zeno to the past. Afterwards, Goku takes Future Zeno to his present counterpart's palace, fulfilling his promise to bring Zeno a friend.The day after, Goku and company bid farewell to Future Trunks and Future Mai as they prepare for a new life in a new timeline created by Whis' alterations, with Goku believing Future Trunks is strong enough to defeat any opponent.

Later that year, Goku participates with Team Universe 7 in a baseball contest against Team Universe 6 on Earth held by Champa, Vados, Beerus and Whis. Some time later Goku takes on a job briefly as a security guard for a event hosted by Mr. Satan. Much afterwards Goku fights against Arale after she is taken over by Dr. Masharito Later, Hit attempts to assassinate Goku on Vados' orders. The two come to a stalemate. it is revealed that Goku was the one that made the hit. Later on, Goku goes to the movies with family to see the new Great Saiyaman movie, but falls asleep through it. He then gets yelled at out Chi-Chi for it. Some time afterwards, Goku and Krillin train together again with Master Roshi.

A year later in Age 780, Once peace has returned following Fused Zamasu's defeat, Goku begins farming again, and takes his latest harvest to a trader, who claims that Goku's crops are very popular. Excited that he earned a lot of money farming, Goku is relieved that he won't have to hear Chi-Chi nagging him anymore, and he can focus on his training. While driving away from the farmer's market in a Capsule Corp. truck, Goku spots a man whose truck is stuck in the road. Goku agrees to pull it out for him, but quickly finds himself being held at gunpoint by the man and his two companions, who demand the truck. Goku refuses and uses his Afterimage Technique to trick the robbers when they begin firing their guns at him. Goku renders all but one robber unconscious. The last robber fires a bullet at Goku, which scratches him. After knocking out the last robber, Goku looks at his scratch and comes to the conclusion that he is getting rusty.

Goku then calls Krillin to ask if he wants to train with him, but he is busy with police work. Instead, Goku calls Whis and agrees to give him bean daifuku in exchange for more training. Given a one-hour time limit to get the bean daifuku and arrive at Capsule Corp., Goku rushes home and puts on his Gi. Goten discovers that Goku is going out to train with Whis and wishes to come along as well. Chi-Chi forbids this, but the two sneak out while she is distracted. At Capsule Corp., the two notice Bulma's large belly, and Goku comes to the conclusion that she has been eating too much. He is surprised to learn that she is pregnant again and offers her the bean daifuku before being reminded by Goten that it is for Whis. After finding Vegeta, Goku asks him to come along and train with him and Whis. Vegeta rejects since Bulma is going to give birth soon.

Looking to fight against stronger opponents once more, Goku asks Beerus what happened to the tournament that Zeno was planning, but is immediately scolded by Beerus and told not to get involved with Zeno. After going to see Zeno and Future Zeno, a Tournament between the Multiverse is now underway. After learning of the deatails of the Tournament of Power, Goku, Gohan and Buu compete in a Exhibition match against Universe 9. Goku fight and defeat Bergamo. After being declared a villain, Top from Universe 11 challenges Goku to a fight. the fight is eventually stopped by The Great Minister.

After returning back to Earth, Goku and Gohan begin to recruiting for Team Universe 7. the 10 member team was formed with Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Picoclo, Majin Buu, Krillin, Android 17, Android 18, Tien Shinhan and Master Roshi. After Majin Buu falls asleep, Goku goes to King Yemma to get permission to talk to Frieza in Earth's Hell. Goku explains the situation and Frieza will only agree if Goku uses the Dragon Balls to resurrect him if Universe 7 wins.

During the arrival of the Tournament of Power, Goku notices Jiren fron Universe 11 and becomes excited to fight him in the Tournament most of all. Goku and Vegeta later fight and defeat most of  Team Universe 9. Goku and Team Universe 7 later defeats and enliminates Unvierse 10. Goku is later seen fighting Jimeze (A Yardat) from Team Universe 2, until Caulifla from Team Universe 6 interrupts and kicks him away. showing interest in his Super Saiyan Blue, Goku tells her that she is not ready to learn that form yet. Goku says she is not ready to learn that transformation yet, and Caulifla tries to impress him by becoming a Super Saiyan Third Grade, not aware that Goku already knows about the form. After fighting against one another as a Super Saiyan 2, the fight is interupted when Kale from Team Universe 6 transforms into a  Legendary Super Saiyan. Kale gains a hatred for Goku, which is so intense that her initial attack on Goku almost knocked Caulifla off the stage. After Kale lost her reasoning in a blinding rage and caused chaos on the entire battlefield, Jiren defeats her easily.

Goku confronts Jiren and decides to finally fight him. Before he could attack, Top attacked him with a Justice Flash from behind. Later on, he fights alongside Android 17, Android 18, Kale, and Caulifla (although indirectly) against Team Universe 11 memebers such as Cocotte, Kahseral, Tupper, Zoiray, and Kettol). He watches as Kale and Caulifla break through Cocotte's barrier, and as 18 eliminates Cocotte. Once the pride troppers are enliminated Goku fights against the Kamikaze Fireballs from Universe 2 along with Android 17  and Android 18. After a brief fight, he goes off to watch joined Piccolo and watched Gohan fight and eventually defeated Botamo then decided to break off on his own once again.

After rushing to save Hit after transforming into A Super Saiyan God, he fights with him aganst Dsypo and Kunshi from Team Universe 11. Goku sees Master Roshi being attacked by Frost and goes to help him, however Ribrianne gets in his way. When he notices Master Roshi laying unconscious across the arena, he uses Super Saiyan Blue to break out of Maji Kayo's powerful grip and rushes to his Master's aid. After reviving Roshi, Goku regroups with Vegeta and Tien, joining the fight between Gohan, Piccolo, and Prum and Harmira. Goku and Vegeta try to put pressure on Prum with their ki wave attacks, but find that he is able to reflect them effortlessly as he has been doing with Harmira's Sniper Shots. Goku and Vegeta are able to pressure Prum by throwing rocks at him, while Tien and Hermila eliminate eachother. As Prum is distracted by Dr. Rota, Vegeta eliminates both with a Galick Gun. Goku then watches in awe as Jiren effortlessly eliminates Maji Kayo. Goku then goes to assist Master Roshi in his fight with Frost, but is intercepted by Ribrianne.

Goku fights Ribrianne for some time, holding his own in his base form against her love-based arsenal of attacks. During their battle, Goku muses briefly about letting Chi-Chi or one of his sons use his Super Dragon Ball wish, should he win. Afterwards Goku begins his battle against Jiren by attacking first in his Base form and then shortly afterwards as a Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2. he did exert a minor effort when confronted by a Super Saiyan God. After becoming Super Saiyan Blue the fight with Jiren brought the entire Tournament of Power to a halt as every single person in the World of the Void stopped to watch. After using a 20x Kaio-ken Super Saiyan Blue Goku, Jiren's power was still strogner than Goku at his limits. Seeing no other choice, Goku returns to normal and gathered energy from all of the Universe 7 fighters (except for Vegeta) to create a massive Spirit Bomb. After the attack is pushed back by Jiren during a power struggle, the energy ball detonate nearly destroying the tournament of power stage. After somehow absorbing the energy of the Spirit Bomb. After somehow absorbing the energy of the Spirit Bomb, The power combined with his own innate energy, caused Goku to undergo a new transformation known to Gods as Ultra Instinct - Sign. This new form unlocks Goku's deepest potential. For a brief time, he was evenly matched against Jiren, until the new form quickly expired allowing Jren to regain the upper hand in the fight.

After Hit interrupts the fight, Vegeta sees to Goku who is now exhausted. While resting to regain his stamina, he is given Energy by Frieza from a energy blast. it restored a portion of his energy, mirroring the time that the Saiyan warrior spared the evil emperor in their first battle. After Hit is enlminated By Jiren, Goku is attacked by Koitsukai, Panchia and Ballarator from Team Universe 3. However, the battle was interrupted when Caulifla stepped in. Though Goku was severely outclassed in terms of power, his superior amount of experience and more creative battle strategies holds her off as a Super Saiyan. After becoming Super Saiyan 2, his power somewhat starts to return during his fight with Caulifla. Kale joins in the fight against Goku first as a Legendary Super Saiyan.

After calming down thanks to Caulifla, she transforms into a Legendary Super Saiyan 2. After Goku nearly managaes to enliminate them both from the areana, Champa quickly gives them the Potaras, and they use them to fuse and Create Kefla. After being easily overpowered as a Super Saiyan God, a exhausted Goku once again transforms into Ultra Instinct - Sign. After Defeating Kefla with a Point Blank Kamehameha, he is once again exhausted as both Caulifla and Kale are enliminated. Whis details Goku's next hurdle, stating that he needs to learn to attack subconsciously to master Ultra Instinct.

An exhausted Goku is then cornered by the remaining warriors of Team Universe 2. As Ribrianne and Rozie are forced to fight Androids 17 and 18, Goku is triple-teamed by Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra. He holds his own until the three fighters transform and gain the Kamikaze Fireballs' powers. At that point, 17 and 18 join Goku, and Goku is left to fight Zirloin one on one. The three remaining Universe 2 fighters are pushed to the edge and attempt to use the Pretty Black Hole on Goku, 17, and 18. This, however, does not work as Goku utilizes Super Saiyan Blue and fires a Kamehameha which overpowers the attack and finishes off Team Universe 2 as Gohan and Piccolo simultaneously finish off Team Universe 6. As only four universes remain in the Tournament of Power, Team Universe 7 comes under assault from Team Universe 4. Goku watches as Gohan and Piccolo eliminate invisible warrior Gamisaras before being caught in Shantza's Illusion Technique. Piccolo eliminates Shantza, putting an end to the illusions. Piccolo is then eliminated by bug-sized warrior Damon. Goku manages to save Android 17 from a similar fate and 17 is able to find Damon. Goku and 17 work together to defeat him, with Goku creating shockwaves in the ground to disrupt Damon's movements while 17 deals the finishing blow and finishes Universe 4 off.

Afterwards, Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan come under the combined assault of Bollarator, Koitsukai, and Panchia, who ultimately merge into Koichiarator. Goku and Vegeta are initially content to let Gohan deal with this threat, but are forced to step in when the merged warrior gains the upper hand. Goku and Vegeta combine their attacks to stall Koichiarator long enough for Gohan to prepare a Kamehameha. However, Paparoni fuses with Koichiarator to create the enormous monster Anilaza. This new fused warrior immediately gains the advantage, nearly knocking Goku out if not for timely help from Frieza. Goku, Vegeta, Android 17, Gohan, and Frieza attempt to combine their attacks to defeat Anilaza, but it proves not to be enough to defeat him, and only Android 17's idea to attack Anilaza's energy reactor leads to the monster's defeat and Universe 3's erasure.

Afterwards, Jiren, Top, and Dispo confronted Team Universe 7 immediately afterwards. Goku and Jiren begin their second round of fighting and exchanging their motivations for fighting. Vegeta interrupts the fight, intending to challenge Jiren himself. Goku and Vegeta take turns attacking Jiren, but neither can hold their own at first. Vegeta, however, soon finds a way to strike Jiren, and Goku is then left to watch Vegeta fight. He is amazed at Vegeta's strength when he prepares to use a Final Flash, but is left shocked and worried when Jiren survives and severely wounds Vegeta. Goku jumps back into the fight afterwards. Despite various tactics and coming close to victory, Jiren recovers from Goku's onslaught and increase his battle power, which makes him strong enough that the shockwave of a single punch can knock Goku out of Super Saiyan Blue. However, Goku states that he cannot afford a loss. He activates Super Saiyan Blue in combination with the Kaio-ken, and watches as Vegeta powers up to Evolved Super Saiyan Blue.

Abilities

 * -|Techniques=

Rock, Scissors 'N' Paper - A technique taught to Goku by Grandpa Gohan which employs one of three attack styles; either a closed-fist assault, a two-finger jabbing assault, or an open-palm thrust assault. It was Goku's signature attack early on during his childhood, soon afterwards being replaced with the Kamehameha.

Kamehameha - Goku's signature move since obtaining it. It unleashes a powerful and long-stretching blue wave of energy from his cupped hands. Goku first learns the move as a kid after witnessing Master Roshi using it. It can be charged to compete with practically any enemy attack. Since mastering this technique, Goku has continued to improve on it and develop new variations of it.

Kaio-ken - Goku learns this technique after dying against Raditz while training under King Kai. While using it and any of its multipliers, Goku's various capacities and techniques are all proportionally increased. However, the strain of using too high a multiplier and/or for too long can be dangerous and greatly damage his body. As such, he ceased using it after his gaining Super Saiyan. While he can combine the two powers, Goku never tried this while alive as doing so could lead to near-certain death. Later however, with his Super Saiyan Blue, taking advantage of his divine form's superior energy control and more naturally calm-minded nature, he was able to use the new version of the technique and more regularly.

Spirit Bomb - Easily Goku's most powerful techniques and arguably the strongest in the series, it allows Goku to channel ki from all sources of life that he can detect and focus it all into a single energy ball. It was taught to him by King Kai during his training for the upcoming battle against Vegeta and Nappa. Over time, Goku continually learned to expand the range of which he could gather energy, thereby increasing both the size and power of the Spirit Bomb. He reserves this technique as a last-ditch effort for the most powerful of foes.

Instant Transmission - Goku learns this technique on the Planet Yardrat after his battle with Frieza. This technique allows him to teleport to any location so long as he can find an energy source to home onto. However, it also greatly extends his ability to sense energy. Noticeably in Yo Son Goku, he seemingly improved on the technique as transports to the radish field without sensing anyone, possibly because he had accurate enough knowledge of where it is.

Evil Containment Wave - An energy technique learned from Master Roshi to battle Goku Black and Future Zamasu. It binds a target in a swirling stream of green energy before being guided into a container. It also requires a special sealing tag to properly complete the sealing. While normally life-threatening to use, Goku's immense power lets him use this multiple times without even remotely exhausting any of his strength. The benefit of the technique is to defeat enemies they cannot or will not kill. In the anime Goku never got the chance to use this technique against Future Zamasu but managed to use it in the manga. However, due to collecting the wrong tag from Roshi, Future Zamasu escape.

Hakai - In the manga, Goku learned to perform the Hakai technique after having seen the God of Destruction Beerus use it. Due to not having the proper training nor might, Goku requires to put all of his divine ki into his hand and release it at once, making it a one-time use attack which will leave him fully drained. Goku's usage is also not as effective as a God of Destruction's. As a result, Goku’s usage requires more time to complete and his constant focus, enabled Fused Zamasu to use Future Mai as a shield, preventing Goku from completing the attack.

Ultra Instinct - Goku began learning this from Whis. During the Tournament of Power, Goku unlocked a special state, enabling him to put to usage Whis’ teachings, but only defensively. Originally, in the anime, this was done by the energy of the Spirit Bomb acting as bolster to trigger Goku's subconscious. In the manga, Goku accepted his shame in only relying on physical growth as a warrior and reflected on Master Roshi's words of true efficiency. His following extreme battles let him more naturally access this state until completing this state to defend and attack simultaneously with optimum efficiency. With this, Goku's physical and mental parameters are vastly augmented, providing him with not only equally increased combat performance, but also gives him access to the Ultra Instinct ability, allowing him to instinctively dodge and attack any nearby threat in the most effective way possible. Goku usage of this ability is only unlocked subconsciously during dire situations.

Dragon Fist - A technique that generates a giant gold serpentine-dragon from Goku’s charging body and extended fist that will attack and ensnare the target before erupting in a large exploding. While never seen in the original manga, Goku uses this technique in the Wrath of the Dragon movie to defeat Hirudegarn. He also uses this in Dragon Ball GT.


 * -|Forms and transformations=

Great Ape
Like all Saiyans, Goku can transform into a Great Ape (Oozaru) when he sees the full moon while he possesses his tail, though every time it was not at will. As a Great Ape, Goku's dormant Saiyan traits re-emerge and he becomes ravenous and violent. Originally, because his tail was removed permanently Kami when restoring the moon, Goku lost access completely to this form. However, in Dragon Ball GT, thanks to Old Kai's aid, Goku regained his tail. Also, he became able to use any planetary surface to focus the blutz wave to transform

Unlock Potential
After drinking the Ultra Divine Water and surviving its painful side-effects, Goku's true potential was released, apparently in the form of accessing Great Ape in his base form. This was seen by his natural aura manifesting as an image of a Great Ape surrounding him, signifying Goku's hidden power having been released. The power boost not only enabled him to fight on par with King Piccolo in his prime, who previously decimated Goku in his frailer elderly state, but it also heighted Goku's senses and instincts, able to detect the location of people's ki.

Kaio-ken
Goku learns this technique after dying against Raditz while training under King Kai. While using it and any of its multipliers proportionally increase all his capacities, the strain of using it for too long can be dangerous. As such, he ceased using it after his gaining Super Saiyan. While he can combine the two powers, Goku never tried this while alive as doing so could lead to near-certain death.

Captain Ginyu's Body
During the Battle on Namek, Captain Ginyu of the Ginyu Force, used his body Change technique to switch bodies with Goku. Goku was gravely injured while in Ginyu's body due to Ginyu causing a severe wound on his own body just prior to Ginyu switching bodies. Due to this, plus the brief length of time that Goku was in Ginyu's body, his full capabilities in this form are unknown.

Super Saiyan
This form multiples Goku's base power 50 fold. Goku achieves this powerful transformation in a rage after Frieza kills Krillin. Frieza had destroyed the Saiyans out of his fear of their growing power and the idea of a possible Super Saiyan. As a result of defeating Frieza, Goku avenges both the Saiyan race and the death of his best friend Krillin.

In Dragon Ball Super, Goku learned to access this form's raw might without actually transforming to conserve ki. After his fight with the God of Destruction Beerus, Goku realizes that fully mastering this form would eventually raise his level more than his higher Super Saiyan forms, and sap less strength and ki. During the Universal Survival Saga, Goku - who had gone well beyond his limits - was able to flash between base and Super Saiyan to defeat Jiren alongside Frieza.

In Dragon Ball GT, After being wished into a child, Goku can still transform into a Super Saiyan. However, he is unable to maintain the form for as long as he can in his adult body. After his tail is restored, he is finally able to maintain the form for as long as he can normally (in his adult body).

In Dragon Ball SF, After 7 years of training with Azure and Agon in the Divivne Realm, Goku's Super Saiyan Transformation has now regained it's raw might once again and can fully control at will.

Super Saiyan Second Grade
After realizing that the androids' power exceeds a Super Saiyan, Goku entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to surpass the basic Super Saiyan form. Ultimately, Goku unlocked this form after weeks of training. However, Goku realized that this form spends too much ki to be maintained. Rather than attempting the more arduous and time-consuming task of refining this form, Goku came to the conclusion that that the basic Super Saiyan form is better suited for combat, making a plan to master it and abandon this form completely. As a result of this and discovering more powerful forms, this form is never used again.

Super Saiyan Third Grade
Along with Second Grade, Goku achieves this form in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. While vastly stronger than Second Grade, the power output is too intense, causing Goku's muscles to become engorged from the struggle of maintaining this unsteady power boost. This instability drained his ki too fast to be of use for long. It also causes an extreme drop in his speed and agility, tiring him even more and reducing his effectiveness overall. Goku noted that while much stronger than Semi-Perfect Cell, it meant nothing it he couldn't actually hit his foe with it.

Super Saiyan - Full Power
After realizing the weaknesses inherent to the higher Super Saiyan grades, Goku concluded that mastery over the basic Super Saiyan form would be more beneficial. He used the remainder of his time chamber training learning to maintain Super Saiyan for extended periods. Gradually, he overcame the heightened aggression and uneasiness that accompanies this form to feel as natural as his base form, reducing the energy drain to nothing and increasing his endurance to achieve a max output for this form without drawbacks even in regularly life.

This allows him to fight at his full potential and not lose energy like an untrained Super Saiyan.

Super Kaio-ken
Goku uses this technique while fighting in the Other World Tournament against Pikkon. By using the power of Kaio-ken while in his Super Saiyan form, Goku gains a massive power increase, which is statistically equivalent to that of a Super Saiyan 2, by taking the 2x multiplier of these forms into consideration. Goku is seen punching Pikkon towards an asteroid orbiting the Other World Stadium, after which he reverts to his Super Saiyan form.

Super Saiyan 2
This form multiples Goku's power 100 fold. Goku achieved this transformation while training with King Kai in the Other World where he could put unlimited energy into his energy into his transformation.

It was first briefly seen when Goku powers up to overflow Yakon with energy, as Vegeta notes. Goku first makes full usage of this form against Majin Vegeta. In Dragon Ball Super, Goku displays mastery of the form similar to regular Super Saiyan. He reserves this form for opponents he takes semi-seriously, usually as a means to better gauge his opponent's might.

In Dragon Ball GT, Goku uses this form as a kid only once in the series, to guard against an attack by General Rilldo. Also, he briefly appears in the form while powering up to transform into Super Saiyan 3 twice while fighting Baby Vegeta. In Dragon Ball SF, after training for 7 years with Azure and Agon, Goku becomes able to control Super Saiyan 2 (similar to a Strengthed Super Saiyan 2).

Super Saiyan 3
This form multiples Goku power 400 times his base. It's the strongest form in the original manga. Goku achieved this level in Other World, where he could put more energy into his transformation, and it took him many years to achieve the form. Goku is first seen using this transformation against Majin Buu during the Majin Buu Saga.

In Dragon Ball Super, these energy-sapping issues appear to be circumvented by Goku, through the utilization of Super Saiyan 3 in an extremely sporadic fashion for quick power boosts to overwhelm enemies (E.g. during his sparring bout with Future Trunks). Using the form in this way does not appear to have the same exhaustive effect on the user that it does have when used for prolonged periods of time. .

In Dragon Ball GT, After being wished back into a child, Goku is still able to transform into a Super Saiyan 3. However, he is only able to maintain the form for a few minutes. In his adult body Goku states he can hold the form for a while but as a kid it is almost impossible. This problem is somewhat overcome by re-growing his Saiyan Tail, which assisting him in conserving his energy reserves. Despite that, this form is still not enough to defeat Baby Vegeta.

In Dragon Ball SF, after training for 7 years with Azure and Agon, Goku can once again maintain the Super Saiyan 3 transformation much longer.

Super Saiyan God
Super Saiyan God is a Super Saiyan transformation even beyond the level of Super Saiyan 3. Goku achieves this form with the help of the five other Saiyans, and uses it against the God of Destruction Beerus. When Goku powers up to this form, he has flame-like aura. He then appears with his hair glowing red and with a shape similar to that of his base form, red eyes, slightly thinner, and he has a flame-like aura.

Despite dropping out of Super Saiyan God, Goku retained some of the power, letting him continue fighting Beerus. Through further training Goku learned to properly access and control this residual power, ultimately restoring its full properties access this form at any time. Usage of this form grants heightened recovery powers, enabling Goku to heal and recharge faster and likewise use a small a fraction of the normal stamina and ki consumption. He can sense godly ki and likewise mask his presence from non-deities. It can also absorb and nullify enemy attacks upon contact.

In Dragon Ball SF, after training for 7 years with Azure and Agon Goku regains Super Saiyan God.

God-like Saiyan
After experiencing the power of Super Saiyan God, after he dropped out of the form, he was able to retain the raw might of his godly form and continue fighting against the God of Destruction Beerus. Then, during his training with Whis, Goku became capable of using the full power of Super Saiyan God without having to change from his base form - resulting in the Saiyan beyond God state

Super Saiyan Blue
Also known as Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. After training with Whis, Goku learned that trying to transform into a Super Saiyan while in his Saiyan beyond God state, caused him to become a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. This form is identical to Super Saiyan only with cyanish-blue hair and a blue aura shaded with some gold. The form's power surpasses that of a Super Saiyan God and is a level beyond that offers increased levels of ki control. At many times, Goku has been able to enhance the transformation's power through different means. In the anime, able to use the Kaio-ken while in this transformation due to its perfect ki control, and is able to use his intense rage to further power up the transformation.

However this form has a flaw caused by prolong and repeated usages. While not nearly as prominent as other Super Saiyan form, Super Saiyan Blue's peak power can only be maintained for a short period before gradually decreasing from stamina drain. Also, repeated use will cause the user to be unable to use even 10% of its full power

In Dragon Ball SF, after training for 7 years with Azure and Agon, Goku regains the Super Saiyan Blue Transformation at will.

Super Saiyan Blue: Kaio-ken
Thanks to the Thanks to the Super Saiyan Blue form's great ki control, it is possible for Goku to utilize Kaio-ken alongside it, noting that to use it alongside any regular Super Saiyan form would prove too dangerous to risk as it could prove fatal.

This unstable state also will give Goku Delayed Onset Ki Disorder, sending Goku's ki into flux, making him unable to properly access his energy for a few days. By the Tournament of Power, Goku had mastered this technique up to a x20, as his form showed no instability, indicating that his control over it is on par with his base Kaio-ken and thereby no major strain. During the second fight against Jiren, Goku was able to empowering this state to push himself beyond his previous usage and thus breaking his limit.

Zamasu's Body
In an erased timeline, Zamasu, giving into his hatred of mortals, came to desire Goku's power, which was considered to rival the Gods of Destruction. Using the Super Dragon Balls, Zamasu swapped bodies with Goku, obtaining all the inherit powers and abilities of the Saiyan. It remains unclear if Goku obtained any of Zamasu's powers through his Shinjin body as Zamasu seemingly retained his original powers and abilities once becoming Black on top of acquiring Goku's. Regardless, Goku in Zamasu's body proved powerless against Black as he effortlessly killed Goku in only base form.

Perfected Super Saiyan Blue
In the manga, as the full potential of a Super Saiyan Blue is only usable for the first few minutes before dropping down, Goku manages to overcome this massive stamina flaw to the point where he can use the form for as long and as many times as he wants. Goku achieved this by sealing the massive overflowing power inside himself. Goku first displays his Completed Super Saiyan Blue state against Fused Zamasu, with his power showing a slight advantage over the fused Shinjin, who only survived because of his immortality. This state is not without flaws. First being that this requires intense concentration and focus by the user to prevent any ki from leaking out of their body. Second is that even if the slightest amount of ki, leaking out of the body can be extremely painful for Goku. If too much leaks, it could cause the power to become unstable and explode, killing Goku

Perfected Super Saiyan Blue (Power Stressed)
In the manga, during the Tournament of Power, Goku used the same principle as the Kaio-ken in order to power up his Perfected Super Saiyan Blue as much as possible in an attempt to overcome his limits.

Goku utilized this state briefly to battle Jiren - putting up a better fight than previously at the cost of damage to his body - though even this power up proved futile against Jiren's overwhelming power.

Ultra Instinct -Sign-
A state that was attained during the Tournament of Power. Using the Universe 7's Spirit Bomb as a catalyst, Goku broke through the shell of his normal limits to unlock a deeper portion of his potential. This state's appearance seems a blend between Goku's base and Super Saiyan form. His hair stands up somewhat, becoming more wild in shape and defined with no loose strands, but otherwise essentially remains the same

This state's appearance seems a blend between Goku's base and Super Saiyan form. His hair stands up somewhat, becoming more wild in shape and defined with no loose strands, but otherwise essentially remains the same. His eyes become more defined and sterner in shape, while also gaining silver irises. His aura becomes a complex, silvered aura with silver spark appearance. In this state, Goku's strength, speed, and reflexes are greatly augmented. The highlight of this form is access to Ultra Instinct enabling him to process information far quicker and efficiently to learn, react, and adapt to all he experiences. It also greatly enhances Goku's natural growth rate. Goku is constantly evolving in this state, and his attacks keep getting noticeably quicker, sharper and heavier with every skirmish.

Ultra Instinct
Once finally understanding Whis' words behind self-movement, Goku learned to let go of all self-doubt and live for the moment. Once fully synchronizing his impulses with his natural drive, Goku became able to subconsciously unlock the full potential of his offensive and defensive might. This culminates with Goku's silver glow consuming him. In this state, his hair turns silver and skin tone becomes more ethereal in nature. The power in this form is vastly greater than his initial state of Ultra Instinct that it completely shreds away his shirt and left all the grand deities of the universes in awe at his power. In this state, Goku is shown such fine control of his ki able to calmly repel and contain any energy assault thrown at him. He can unleash barrages of his energy in focused shockwaves and cancel out all but the strongest of attacks. This form can also channel his rage to staggering new levels.

In the Ultra Instinct state, Goku's might ranks among the most powerful entities in all the multiverse. However, this form cannot be maintain for more than a few minutes. After passing the time limit, Goku's body will give out, leaking out his energy in ravaging manner that will severely injure him and regress to his base form.

Despite learning to use this state at its fullest, Goku cannot access it at will, but rather only as an instinctual reaction to the most dire of situations.

Golden Great Ape
Goku achieves this form in Dragon Ball GT, after Old Kai helped Goku to regrow his tail which allowed him to once again transform into a Great Ape. When he looks at the Earth during the Baby Saga, its sufficient substitute Blutz waves allows Goku to take this form, a combination of the Super Saiyan state and the classic Great Ape transformation. Upon regaining control over his Golden Great Ape form, Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 4.

Super Saiyan 4
A Super Saiyan transformation form that's not part of the traditional Super Saiyan line of forms. This form is achieved by Goku after achieving the Golden Great Ape state and being calmed down by Pan. The overwhelming power of this transformation is apparently great enough to overcome the Black Star Dragon Balls' power making Goku's transformation into a child by Ultimate Shenron. The spell is only dispersed during the transformation, however. In addition to him being turned back into an adult temporarily, Goku's overall appearance changes yet again. The hair is even more wild and longer than when in his normal state, reaching his mid-back. His gain golden-yellow irises and the pigments around his eyes become lined in red. His tail becomes longer and gains scarlet fur covering almost all of his body from head to toe. His clothes change from his childhood garb, leaving him only dressed below the waist (excluding his armbands).

In Dragon Ball SF, according to the Namekian Book of Legends, this Saiyan transformation was originally called a Primal Super Saiyan.

Ryuu-Ken
A Divine Transformation created by ancient Namekians introduced in Dragon Ball SF. Agon taught Goku the technique during his training in the Divine Realm. While in this state, the user can temporary usesa Etenral Dragon's power such as the ability to grant wishes.


 * -|Fusions=

Vegito
Veigto is the product of a Potara Fusion between Vegeta and Goku. With the combined might of both Saiyans amplified to such immense levels, Vegito is easily one of the most powerful beings in Dragon Ball franchise. As it is not a fusion involving a Kai, the fusion lasts only 1 hour at most, rather than being permanent. Originally, he was formed in desperation to defeat Super Buu.

Vegito later reappears in Dragon Ball Super to fight Fused Zamasu, however, the intense power of Super Saiyan Blue Vegito proved too much for the Potara, forcing the fusion to end prematurely after only mere minutes.

Goku's adaptive and creative nature along with Vegeta's analytical and strategic mind makes Vegito quite an intelligent fighter. Even his two halves balance out his personality, not being reckless and arrogant unlike Vegeta yet is more decisive and merciless in battle unlike Goku. Having the skills and battle tactics of the two warriors also makes Vegito a very versatile and well-rounded fighter.

Gogeta
Gogeta is Veigto is the product of a Fusion Dance between Goku and Vegeta. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, with both of his fusion components able to use the said form, Gogeta himself became able to use Super Saiyan Blue. In this state, his power is able to compete with the full power of Legendary Super Saiyan Broly.

In Dragon Ball GT, Gogeta was an act of desperation against Omega Shenron. He derives his strategic battle tactics and skill from Vegeta, and his massive power and energy potential from Goku. However, due to his extraordinary power, the fusion will only last for 10 minutes (so far only confirmed for his Super Saiyan 4 form), as opposed to the usual 30 minutes, though this has been proven ample time to defeat almost any foe many times over.


 * -|Hypothetical Fusions=

Gokule
Gokule is the Hypothetical Potara Fusion of Goku and Mr. Satan. After Goku returns to life and Earth, he attempts to fuse with Gohan. However, his plan failed as Super Buu absorbed Gohan. As the only usable beings left were Hercule and Dende, he imagined what the fusion would look like and which of the two would be better. He chose Hercule, because Hercule had more fighting experience and might make Goku a little stronger

Den-Goku
Den-Goku is the Hypothetical Potara Fusion of Goku and Dende. After Goku returns to life and Earth, he attempts to fuse with Gohan. However, his plan failed as Super Buu absorbed Gohan. As the only usable beings left were Hercule and Dende, he imagined what the fusion would look like and which of the two would be better.

Equipment

 * Attack Ball - Spaceships used for interstellar travel. Due to being a low-class Saiyan, Goku was sent to Earth, so that he would one day conquer it. The space pod landed somewhere in a jungle or forest and it was there that Grandpa Gohan found Goku and adopted him
 * Power Pole - A red magical staff originally owned by Korin and eventually was inherited by Goku. One of the only heirlooms from his adopted Grandpa Gohan it became a signature tool for Goku throughout his childhood. Extremely durable and resilient, it is blessed with the unique power to extend and retract to vast lengths at the user's will. Apart from aid in fighting, the Power Pole also serves as the only non-flying means to reach the Lookout
 * Flying Nimbus - A mystic yellow cloud. Originally a gift from Master Roshi, after it was destroyed by Tambourine, Goku received a replacement from Korin, who created them. It is a blazingly fast cloud that can carry its traveler wherever the rider wishes and also be summoned from seemingly anywhere on Earth. However, the cloud will only carry those void of any negative thoughts. All others will instantly pass through it like any cloud.
 * Dragon Radar - An invention of Bulma made to track down Dragon Balls. While Goku and others can sense the Dragon Balls' energy in a general area, the Dragon Radar can pinpoint their exact location from vast ranges. This let Goku and his friends track all the Dragon Balls within days rather than years, or hours with teleportation.
 * Senzu Bean - A mystical bean of remarkable rejuvenate properties. One who eats a single bean will become fully rested and nourished for 10 days (or a single day for people with massive appetites like Saiyans). For more extreme purposes, the consumer will have their energy and physical health instantly and fully restored. Virtually any wound, even lost limbs and organs, will be undone, provided the injury didn't heal over or first kill them. However, the beans apparently cannot heal diseases. Since Korin has allied himself with Goku and his friends, as the only one who can grow them, he regularly provides them with a bag of beans before they go to battle.
 * Zeno's Button - When the Omni-King, Zeno, took a great liking in Goku and wanted him to be his friend, the grand ruler gave Goku a special clicker. Having two buttons on it, one could be used to instantly teleport Goku to Zeno's Palace, and the other would bring Zeno straight to Goku. When battling the Infinite Zamasu, seeing no other way out, Goku used the button to summon Future Zeno, who immediately proceeded to erase the rogue Kai (and unfortunately and the entire future reality). Later, eager to finally fight in theTournament of Power Goku used the button to go talk with both Zenos about the tournament.
