Battle of Gods Saga
Later, Mr. Satan visits to offer Goku 100 million zeni as thanks for helping defeat Buu. Goku initially declines, not grasping the amount's value, and suggests giving it to Vegeta. Mr. Satan points out the Briefs family is wealthier than he is. Reminded by Goten that giving the money to Chi-Chi would allow Goku to train with King Kai, Goku accepts. After discussing with Chi-Chi, he travels to King Kai's planet to begin training. Upon arrival, Goku accidentally causes King Kai to crash into his house. King Kai prepares food and rebuilds his home, although reluctantly. Goku explains he is there to train under ten times Earth's gravity. King Kai acknowledges Goku as an important figure and the most significant of the Kais, but Goku treats him as a friend. Changing into a blue and white tracksuit, Goku starts his training. While training, Goku overhears a conversation between King Kai, Old Kai, and Kibito Kai about keeping him away from Beerus, the God of Destruction. To distract him, King Kai recalls how he was responsible for Goku's death. Successfully distracted, Goku continues training but realizes he has missed Bulma's birthday party and worries about her reaction. King Kai acts strangely, though Goku does not press further. Though staying hidden, Beerus arrives seeking Goku. Beerus asks if Goku knows about the Super Saiyan God, which Goku denies. Disappointed, Beerus inquires if Goku defeated Frieza, to which Goku replies it was as a Super Saiyan. Beerus tests Goku's power and doubts he could have beaten Frieza without transforming. Curious, Goku challenges Beerus to a fight, which Beerus accepts. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan and attacks, but Beerus effortlessly avoids his moves and becomes bored. Surprised, Beerus notes Goku has surpassed limits when he shifts to Super Saiyan 2. The fight continues with Beerus dodging all attacks. Goku requests Beerus to fight back instead of only dodging; Beerus agrees but continues evading. Goku's punches create holes in King Kai's planet. Goku powers up to Super Saiyan 3 and lands some hits, firing a Kamehameha that Beerus blocks with a finger. Feeling intimidated, Goku attacks again but notices Beerus allowing hits. A final Kamehameha misses and destroys part of King Kai's planet. Beerus then easily defeats Goku and departs for Earth. Injured, Goku reflects on Beerus's comments about the Super Saiyan God and suggests fusing with Vegeta but doubts it will be enough. King Kai gives Goku a Senzu Bean to heal him. Goku wishes to attend Bulma's birthday party, but King Kai, Gregory, and Bubbles prevent him, so he stays on King Kai's planet. Following battles between the Z Fighters and Beerus, the God of Destruction decides to destroy Earth. Goku intervenes and requests time to summon the Super Saiyan God. Beerus allows this, and Goku calls upon Shenron, asking if he knows about the Super Saiyan God. Shenron explains the ritual to create one and then disappears. Goku, Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, and Gohan attempt to transfer their powers to Goku but only increase his strength. Whis notes six righteous Saiyans are needed. Videl then steps forward, announcing her pregnancy. The ritual is retried with her included, and after a lengthy process, Goku becomes a Super Saiyan God. Super Saiyan God Goku battles Beerus, their fight causing massive destruction across the ocean and city. The battle is close, though Beerus holds a slight advantage. Their fist clash sends shockwaves threatening universal stability. Goku pursues Beerus into the stratosphere, where Beerus states Goku's power is fading. Beerus fires his Sphere of Destruction, but Goku destroys it with a Limitbreaker Kamehameha. Beerus declares he will spare Earth and reveals other universes exist, mentioning Whis as stronger than him before leaving. Moments later, Beerus returns to tell Goku he is the second strongest fighter he has faced. Resurrection F Saga
Universe 6 Saga
Champa and Vados arrive, revealing that they are Beerus and Whis' counterparts from Universe 6. Champa challenges Beerus to a five-on-five Tournament of Destroyers to decide control over Universe 7's Earth. Excited by the challenge, Goku accepts. Whis explains the tournament will follow Tenkaichi Budokai rules and take place five days later on the Nameless Planet. Goku and Vegeta quickly join Beerus' team alongside Piccolo, Buu, and Beerus himself. Vegeta suggests recruiting Gohan for his potential, but Goku says Gohan is busy studying. They return to Earth to ask Bulma to create a new Dragon Radar to find the last Super Dragon Ball. Testing the new radar near the universe's edge proves difficult. Goku plans to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber alone, but Vegeta insists on joining. Piccolo declines to train with them. Inside the chamber, Goku wonders about the strength of Universe 6 fighters, and Vegeta reminds him to act his age. Goku misunderstands and comments that Saiyans stay young until age 80. After training for three years (three days outside), Goku and Vegeta emerge with beards. On tournament day, Whis picks up the fighters in his cube. Goku notices Videl and asks about Gohan, learning he is at a conference. Goku meets Monaka and questions his name. During a word game, Whis mentions "Juri-Juri," confusing Goku, who learns it's a bird from Whis' planet. Arriving on the Nameless Planet, Goku sees the massive Super Dragon Balls and meets the Universe 6 Supreme Kai and attendant. He recognizes several fighters, including Frieza's lookalike and Magetta. Goku sees Cabba, who reveals he's a Saiyan, surprising Goku and Vegeta. Cabba explains that Saiyans once had tails but lost them through evolution. Goku takes the tournament exam and barely passes, but Buu fails, leaving the team short a member. Goku blames Vegeta. In his first match, Goku faces Botamo, struggling at first but eventually outmaneuvering and knocking him out of the ring. Next, Goku faces Frost, greeting him with a handshake. Their fight is intense, with Frost transforming to stronger forms. Goku suspects Frost is hiding more power, so he fights seriously, transforming to Super Saiyan. Despite Goku's strength, Frost lands a hit that disorients him, causing Goku to be knocked out and lose the match. Chi-Chi checks on Goku, who admits his loss. Frost congratulates Goku, explaining he underestimated him. Before Piccolo's match with Frost, Goku warns him he's outmatched but can at least weaken Frost for Vegeta. When Frost is revealed to be cheating, Beerus notices a poisoned wound on Goku's hand, allowing him to compete again. Beerus decides Monaka will fight last, with Goku going after Vegeta. After Vegeta loses to Hit, Goku enters the ring against Hit. He initially struggles but adapts, blocking Hit's moves and drawing blood. Hit is annoyed as Goku counters his Time Skip ability. Goku fights evenly in Super Saiyan but tires, while Hit remains calm. When Goku reaches Super Saiyan God, Hit's Time Skip loses effectiveness. Hit powers up, planning to win in one minute using one Time Skip. Goku uses Super Saiyan Blue at full power to break Hit's Time Skip and lands a strong kick and Kamehameha, though Hit dodges. Hit then surrenders as usual. Zeno arrives, suggesting another tournament, which Goku finds fun. Champa and Beerus are flustered. Goku and Zeno chat, with Zeno praising Goku's match and calling him funny. After Zeno leaves, Beerus and Champa worry that Goku could destroy all universes. Goku asks Hit for a rematch later. After Beerus uses the Super Dragon Balls to make a wish, Whis transports the fighters back to Earth. Goku asks Beerus for a spar with Monaka, but Beerus declines, telling everyone to rest. Whis drops the Z-Fighters off on Earth. Future Trunks Saga
While waiting for the Time Machine to be refueled, they pass the time playing a racing video game. Goku is then summoned to Zeno’s palace, where he’s welcomed warmly. Zeno says he wants a friend to play with, and Goku agrees but says he has business first, promising to bring another friend later. Zeno gives Goku a button that can summon or teleport him instantly. Goku returns home. Back in the future, Future Trunks gives the injured Future Mai a Senzu Bean, leading to a humorous moment when Goku admits he’s never kissed anyone, shocking Vegeta. Goku watches Vegeta gain an upper hand against Goku Black in battle. When Future Zamasu appears, Goku overwhelms him in Super Saiyan Blue form, impaling him with a lamppost. However, Zamasu heals himself, revealing he wished for immortality, then gains the upper hand using telekinesis. Future Trunks uses a Solar Flare to create a distraction, and they hide in a sewer, where Goku plans to use the Evil Containment Wave on Zamasu. Goku and Vegeta then escape in the Time Machine, leaving Trunks behind. Returning to the future, Goku senses Future Trunks’ energy fading. They find Goku Black and Future Zamasu attacking Future Trunks and Shin, whom Goku teleports to Future Mai, transporting the injured Gowasu. Vegeta goes off to battle Goku Black, while Zamasu confronts Goku, claiming his immortality makes him unbeatable. Goku counters with Super Saiyan Blue and the Evil Containment Wave, trapping Zamasu in a jar. But without the talisman, Zamasu breaks free, vowing destruction. Goku switches to Super Saiyan God to conserve energy. Zamasu uses the Potara earrings to fuse with Goku Black, forming Fused Zamasu. The fused being overwhelms Goku and Vegeta, knocking them to the ground. Goku powers up to Super Saiyan Blue and attacks, but Fused Zamasu heals from all wounds. Shin suggests fusion, and although Vegeta is reluctant, they eventually fuse into Vegito. The fusion is too powerful for mortals to sustain and ends abruptly. They fall, bombarded by Katchin blocks. Gowasu explains the fusion’s limit. Fused Zamasu attacks again, but Vegeta intervenes, throwing Goku toward Future Trunks. Trunks heals Goku using a newfound ability he learned from Future Shin, though he can only fully heal one person—Goku, who had mastered Super Saiyan Blue during fusion. Goku teleports back to battle while Shin teleports Vegeta away. The rematch between Goku and Fused Zamasu begins. Goku powers up to Perfected Super Saiyan Blue, and they fight evenly. Knowing he can’t maintain the form long, Goku charges a final attack, attempting Hakai. Fused Zamasu starts to disintegrate but distracts Goku by holding Future Mai hostage, then interrupts the attack and knocks Goku out. After Future Trunks seemingly kills Goku Black and Zamasu, Goku goes to congratulate him, but Trunks is struck from behind by a blast from Black. Both villains rise again and fuse anew, attacking Goku. Vegeta blasts them with Gamma Burst Flash, destroying them, but their remains regenerate into multiple Zamasus. Shin teleports Goku and Vegeta to the Time Machine to escape, but they’re pursued by countless Zamasus. Just as defeat seems imminent, Goku uses Zeno’s button to summon Future Zeno. Disgusted by the chaos, Future Zeno erases the timeline, allowing everyone to escape. Goku returns to the extinct future with Future Trunks and brings Future Zeno to the past, introducing him to the present Zeno, fulfilling his promise. The next day, Goku and the group say goodbye to Future Trunks and Future Mai as they prepare to start new lives in a new timeline created by Trunks’ alterations. Goku believes Future Trunks is strong enough to face any threat. Universe Survival Saga
Goku finds Vegeta and invites him to join him, but Vegeta declines because Bulma is about to give birth. When Whis arrives, he takes Goku to Beerus' planet to train. Eager to face stronger opponents, Goku asks Beerus about the tournament Zeno planned. Zeno’s excitement prompts the Grand Minister to promise Goku details later. Goku returns to Beerus and shares the news. The Grand Minister announces the Tournament of Power. Future Zeno, unfamiliar with fighting, is introduced to a match featuring all Gods of Destruction. Goku observes Beerus effortlessly dodge attacks, with Whis explaining it’s an automatic reflex. After the match, Future Zeno wants a more thrilling fight, and the Grand Minister selects Top as Goku’s opponent. Goku begins fighting Top as a Super Saiyan but struggles to land hits. Future Zeno asks to see all Goku’s forms, leading Goku through Super Saiyan 2 and 3. Still struggling, Goku upgrades to Super Saiyan God and the fight becomes more even. At Beerus’ request, Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue and attempts to finish Top, but Top dodges and knocks Goku out of the ring, winning the match. The Grand Minister then announces the tournament rules and sends everyone back to their universes to assemble teams. Back on the Sacred World of the Kai, Beerus scolds Goku despite Goku technically giving Universe 7 a chance to survive, with Shin pointing this out. Goku and company go to Capsule Corp. to recruit fighters. Goku skips recruiting Gohan, saying he doesn’t like fighting. He convinces Krillin and Android 18 to join. Dende takes Goku to Android 17’s island, where Goku realizes he doesn’t know what 17 looks like. After a fight where Goku uses Super Saiyan 2 and 3, 17 recognizes him and stops attacking. Goku persuades 17 to join by mentioning Krillin, to whom 17 feels indebted. Whis contacts Goku, who informs him that Buu is asleep and can’t fight. Goku visits Piccolo, who is training Gohan, then recruits Tien Shinhan before returning to Capsule Corp. There, Goku decides to recruit Frieza. Negotiations turn violent, and they arrive looking worse for wear, with Goku admitting Frieza has grown stronger in death. Goku also admits he promised to resurrect Frieza if Universe 7 wins, shocking everyone. Team Universe 7 departs for the Tournament of Power. Goku talks with Hit, who warns that he has grown stronger. The match begins with Goku targeting Jiren, but the Pride Troopers overwhelm him while Jiren leaves. After Krillin and Tien are eliminated by Frost, Goku protects Master Roshi, who tells him to focus on Jiren. Goku fights Top and Dyspo in Super Saiyan form. Top warns Dyspo that Goku has more transformations. As Top pins Goku, Goku senses Hit is in danger from Jiren and powers up to Perfected Super Saiyan Blue, breaking free and rushing to help Hit. He charges Jiren, who easily repels him with a single Kiai. Hit says his Time Skip failed against Jiren, and they prepare to fight together. Jiren stands firm, blocking attacks and taking no damage from Goku’s Kamehameha. He pushes Goku to the arena’s edge, ready to eliminate him. Hit intercepts with a kick, repaying a debt to Goku. Goku praises Hit’s improvement. As the fight continues, Jiren proves nearly invincible. Hit plans a new technique to defeat Jiren but wants to work with Goku. Goku declines, wanting to face Jiren alone. Hit is overwhelmed and eliminated. Jiren finally acknowledges Goku’s name as their battle resumes. Goku resumes fighting Jiren in Perfected Super Saiyan Blue. Team Universe 7 faces attacks from other fighters. 17 defeats Damom, earning Goku’s praise. Goku briefly joins Gohan and Roshi against three Pride Troopers until Gohan points out Frieza is struggling against Kale. Goku teleports to Frieza and powers up to Perfected Super Saiyan Blue. Despite Frieza’s protests, Goku challenges Kale, gaining an advantage as her power steadily rises. Frieza pushes Goku aside, claiming he can handle Kale. Kale enters a berserk state and fuses with Caulifla, forming Kefla. Gohan intercepts Kefla’s attack on Goku and Jiren, deciding to handle her as Goku returns to fight Jiren. Goku attempts a combination attack on Jiren, which Jiren blocks and counters with a powerful gut punch, criticizing Goku’s repetitive offense. Aware he faces a formidable barrier, Goku pushes his body to the limit, using Kaio-ken. He lands heavier blows, but Jiren notes Goku made the same mistake as Kale by trying to wield power by damaging his body. Master Roshi advises Goku to conquer his spirit instead of relying solely on strength. Reflecting on lessons from past masters about efficiency, calmness, and spirit training, Goku learns to let his body act instinctively. Roshi teaches Goku how to move well. Charging at Jiren, Goku dodges a flurry of strikes with graceful moves Whis likens to Ultra Instinct. Roshi is soon eliminated by Jiren, and Goku praises his teaching. Declaring himself Son Goku of the Turtle School, Goku enters Ultra Instinct Sign, dodging Jiren’s attack but then snapping out of it and taking a heavy hit. Vegeta reaches the Super Saiyan God SS Evolved state but is quickly defeated by Jiren. After teleporting Vegeta to safety, Frieza and Android 17 stall Jiren, with 17 seemingly sacrificing himself in an attempt to defeat Jiren. Jiren approaches the weakened Saiyans as Goku taps into Ultra Instinct Sign again. Jiren powers up, creating an aura for the first time in the tournament. Jiren intensifies his assault, but Goku avoids major damage. Calm and focused, Goku tells Jiren he has eliminated unnecessary emotions and his heart is calm. Closing his eyes, Goku unlocks Ultra Instinct, landing a powerful punch and dodging an enormous ki wave. He counters with a Kamehameha that pushes Jiren through the arena floor. Enraged, Jiren powers up fully and attacks, but Goku maintains control. The increased power exhausts Goku’s stamina, and Jiren eventually outlasts Ultra Instinct. Vegeta narrowly saves Goku from elimination. Jiren vows to win and resurrect his master Gicchin. With less than three minutes left, Goku and Vegeta team up in their base forms to fight Jiren using expert teamwork. Jiren powers up again, forcing Goku and Vegeta to combine their energy in a Kamehameha and Gamma Burst Flash. Jiren withstands the attack with minor damage and knocks Vegeta off the stage. Goku is about to be eliminated when Frieza appears with a Death Ball. Goku grabs Jiren, but Jiren overpowers him and throws away the blast. Distracted, Golden Frieza hits Jiren with a Nova Strike, eliminating all three fighters. Android 17 reveals himself, declaring Universe 7 the tournament winners and uses his wish to restore all erased universes. Broly Saga
Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga
Goku and Vegeta join the Galactic Patrol as special members and help capture the Macareni gang stealing Blue Aurum on Planet Jung. When searching for Moro, they realize he’s heading to New Namek to gather Dragon Balls. Teleporting there, Vegeta fights Moro first but both Vegeta and Goku are drained and defeated. They’re rescued by Moori and Esca, who care for them for three days. Merus arrives to fight Moro but Moro regains magic thanks to Cranberry’s wish and escapes. Buu fights Moro fiercely, showing increased power, and the Grand Supreme Kai emerges from Buu. Goku teleports them to Moro’s location but Moro retreats into space. Merus captures Moro but Moro uses his third wish to free prisoners from Galactic Prison, who arrive empowered and attack the heroes. As Moro absorbs their energy, Goku teleports his allies (except Vegeta, who goes his own way) back to headquarters. After some days, Moro grows stronger. Goku tests Merus in sparring but can't land a hit. Merus agrees to train Goku to help him master Ultra Instinct. They move to a planet with a training chamber like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber where time passes faster. Merus reveals he’s holding back his true strength to teach Goku. Training intensifies, but Goku doubts he’s activated Ultra Instinct. Merus explains Goku must be willing to risk death to trigger it. Two months pass (six in the chamber), and Merus and Goku prepare for a final spar but are interrupted by Whis, who reveals Merus is his younger brother and an Angel. Merus returns to his realm, encouraging Goku to defeat Moro. Alone, Goku pilots a Galactic Patrol ship back to Earth, stopping at a planetoid for directions. On Earth, sensing his friends in trouble, Goku teleports to aid them just as Krillin and Roshi face powerful foes. He swiftly defeats an attacker and reassures Krillin. Goku then rescues Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu from Zauyogi and teleports away to assist others. As Saganbo overwhelms Gohan and Piccolo, Goku appears unseen and attacks. Moro powers up Saganbo, but Goku, in Super Saiyan Blue, proves stronger. When Saganbo collapses and dies, Goku reveals his new Ultra Instinct Sign form, shocking Moro. The battle intensifies with Goku dodging attacks and firing a Kamehameha through an illusion to hit the real Moro. After a close exchange, Moro briefly overpowers Goku and causes him to drop out of Ultra Instinct Sign. Goku admits his stamina limits him but returns to full power, apologizing to Merus and committing to fight at full strength. Their auras clash and Goku gains the upper hand, but Moro adapts and pushes Goku to his limits. When Goku nearly collapses, Moro attacks, and the Androids intervene but fail to harm Moro. Vegeta returns using Instant Transmission, surprising Goku, and takes on Moro. Vegeta uses Forced Spirit Fission to release energy Moro stole, but Moro absorbs a new ally, Seven-Three, regains power, and defeats Vegeta twice. Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo prepare to fight. Gohan traps Moro with Galactic Donut, and Goku blasts Moro with Instant Kamehameha, destroying his arm, but Moro regenerates and impales Goku, nearly killing him. Whis and Merus arrive, teleporting Goku and allies outside Moro’s barrier. Dende heals Goku and informs him an Angel fights Moro. Goku returns to Ultra Instinct Sign but struggles. Merus uses his true Angel power to seal Moro’s copy ability but begins to fade. He urges Goku to protect the galaxy before disappearing. Goku, inspired, enters perfected Ultra Instinct and dominates Moro, landing a powerful blow. After Moro tries various tactics, Goku traps him under rocks and offers to spare his life if he returns to prison. Moro accepts, eats a Senzu Bean, but breaks his promise and attacks, only to be easily defeated. Goku questions Moro about training and expresses disappointment that Moro never trained, saying he could have been stronger. Jaco urges Goku to finish Moro, but Goku asks if he will return to prison. Moro refuses, regaining his severed arm and merging with Merus’ power to evolve further. The fight moves to the sky, with Moro’s body swelling to contain Angel power. Goku warns Moro his body is unstable and urges him to give up the power before it destroys him. Moro merges with Earth, tying his fate to the planet and threatening galactic destruction. Beerus prepares to join but is summoned away along with Whis. Whis tells Goku to destroy the crystal like Merus did. Moro sucks the crystal into Earth, but Vegeta uses Spirit Fission to weaken Moro and expose the crystal. Goku tries to finish Moro but is drained. Piccolo, Gohan, and others transfer energy to Goku, who powers up to Super Saiyan Blue but still struggles. Vegeta can’t use Ultra Instinct due to limited Godly Ki. As Moro nears explosion, Gohan and Krillin rush to Goku. Suddenly, a large ball of Godly Ki appears, coming from Uub, who inherited Godly Ki from Grand Supreme Kai. Vegeta uses Spirit Fission to transfer this power to Goku, who fully restores and ascends to Ultra Instinct. He overpowers Moro, destroys the crystal, and kills Moro. Goku’s friends congratulate him while Vegeta wonders about the power source. Goku guesses it’s someone special on Earth. Afterwards, Goku celebrates with friends at Mr. Satan’s house and takes Esca home. Days later, Goku, Vegeta, Buu, and Jaco return to Galactic Patrol Headquarters, where they receive medals. Goku reunites joyfully with Merus, now revived as a mortal, and they take a commemorative photo, marking the end of Goku’s time with the Galactic Patrol. Granolah the Survivor Saga
While training separately, Goku wonders who will become the strongest in the universe and asks Whis if anyone is stronger than them. When the Oracle Fish wakes, she repeats her prophecy that soon the strongest warrior will appear. Goku and Vegeta ask her for answers, but she refuses, so Goku keeps training. Whis asks Goku about the main difference between himself and the Angels. After a quick demonstration where Whis taps Goku’s head with his staff, Whis explains Angels are always in Ultra Instinct, while Goku activates it like a transformation. Goku realizes he must learn to stay in Ultra Instinct in his base form, which will remove his stamina drain, and use the transformation only when pushing past limits. Over the following weeks, Goku improves greatly. When they decide to return to Earth to meet the Heeters, Whis marks Goku’s gi again with his signature. They board the Heeters’ ship and with 18 days until arrival, Goku enjoys the gourmet food. Upon arriving on Cereal, Goku and Vegeta fly toward the villain, unaware the Heeters tricked them. While flying over a ruined city, they dodge random ki blasts. Goku, using his refined Ultra Instinct, dodges easier and lands, surprised the blasts did not come from the ground. More blasts appear; Goku dodges but gets hit in a vital spot. After using a Senzu Bean, Vegeta scolds Goku for relying too much on Ultra Instinct, and Goku agrees. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan and spots Granolah, firing an energy blast, but Granolah dodges and teleports behind him. Granolah reveals himself as the “villain” and knows about the Saiyans, shocking Goku. Vegeta doesn’t know about Cerealians. Granolah uses a technique like Hakai, and Goku offers to fight first. Vegeta declines, telling Goku to go ahead. Granolah asks if Goku can turn Great Ape, but Goku says he can’t anymore. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan God and fights, struggling before combining Ultra Instinct with his form to dodge attacks. Goku gets hit on a weak point and reverts to base. Granolah explains his revenge on Frieza, and Goku questions if he’s truly an enemy. Granolah powers up, and Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue, fighting evenly. Their fight moves to a forest. Granolah swings around a tree to attack, Goku withstands the heavy blows, then releases a powerful ki blast, destroying the area. Granolah notes Goku has combined Ultra Instinct with Perfected Super Saiyan Blue, changing his body’s flow. Goku moves at incredible speed, firing a close-range Kamehameha, but Granolah lands a pressure point hit on his neck. The dust settles; Granolah is slightly damaged, but Goku is worse, back to base form. Goku believes true Ultra Instinct users have no weak points and that his training is incomplete. Granolah attacks with ground energy, which Goku barely escapes using Instant Transmission. Vegeta tells Goku about the Cerealian genocide by Saiyans under Frieza. They realize Granolah seeks revenge and that the Heeters lied about him. Goku hopes to win and transforms to Perfected Ultra Instinct. Granolah can’t detect his pressure points. Goku attacks quickly, knocking off Granolah’s goggles and striking him, but Granolah fights back fiercely. Goku’s defense stops most attacks and uses telekinesis to lift and hit Granolah. Vegeta thinks they have won but notices Granolah’s energy is still strong, coming from another place. Granolah reveals the fighter is a clone made at the battle’s start, splitting his power. Vegeta finds the real Granolah in his ship and warns Goku as the clone disappears. The real Granolah teleports and hits a pressure point over Goku’s heart, briefly stopping it and dropping him from Ultra Instinct. A final blow sends Goku crashing into the forest. Granolah says he held back for Frieza and that fighting the clone first weakened Goku’s perfect Ultra Instinct over time. He mocks Goku before preparing a finishing blast, interrupted by Vegeta. Goku wakes in pain from the pressure point attack and watches Vegeta’s fight. He heals himself and jumps in to save Vegeta from a killing blow. Vegeta angrily kicks Goku away, saying they only fought together to protect others and refuses to team up. Granolah charges a pressure point attack at Vegeta, but Goku pushes him away with a Kiai. Granolah asks how Goku reacted so fast; Goku says he now anticipates the vital point attacks and won’t be caught again. The fight continues; Granolah tries another pressure point move, but Goku moves his pressure points and counters with a punch. Granolah praises Goku’s defense but says his offense isn’t enough to surpass him. Vegeta gets up and watches as Goku drops out of Super Saiyan Blue after a hard hit. Vegeta takes over, still refusing to team, and tells Goku to leave the fight to him. Granolah overpowers Vegeta and tries a final sacrificial attack. Goku tries to intervene but is blocked. Monaito appears, telling Granolah to stop. The distraction lets Goku knock Granolah down and call them all stupid. Monaito admits lying: one Saiyan escaped Granolah’s vengeance — Bardock, who saved him and Monaito 40 years ago. Goku is unsure if Bardock is related to him, raised by Gohan, but Vegeta reveals Bardock is Goku’s father. Goku wishes he knew more, and Vegeta comments that kindness runs in Goku’s family. Gas then arrives, now the strongest thanks to Elec’s wish from the dragon. Goku and Vegeta are surprised Cereal had Dragon Balls and that Granolah’s power came from them. Gas easily defeats Goku and focuses on Granolah, who fights back but is overpowered when Elec removes Gas’s necklace, unlocking Gas’s full power in a wild state. Gas quickly beats Granolah and Vegeta. Goku punches Gas but is blocked. Gas remembers his fight with Bardock and backs off, calming down and gaining a new form. Gas breaks Granolah’s arms, and Elec fatally shoots him. Vegeta gives Goku his remaining energy. Goku powers up to Perfected Super Saiyan Blue. Gas attacks with weapons and telekinesis, throwing buildings and trains. Goku fights on a train roof; Gas questions Goku’s resolve and whether he is Bardock’s son. Gas throws Goku underwater and counters his attacks. Goku sees Monaito healing Granolah. Gas heads for Monaito, but Goku grabs him and teleports them off Cereal. They crash on another planet and meet Jaco. Goku mocks Gas’s weaker teleport and tricks him into embarrassing spots. They end up in the Galactic Prison, where villains mock Gas. On a volcanic planet, Goku appears with Whis and the Oracle Fish, followed by a confused Gas. Goku reveals his plan: using chained Instant Transmissions to leave Gas stranded far from Cereal. Gas asks Whis for directions and speeds toward Cereal. Goku rejoins the others, including Oatmeel in android mode. On the way to Monaito’s house, Whis warns Gas is arriving soon. Monaito shows Goku Bardock’s Scouter audio, revealing Bardock’s warning 40 years ago to escape with Granolah. This triggers Goku’s memories of his parents sending him away from Planet Vegeta. Goku feels he now understands Saiyan pride but doubts his own strength. When Gas returns, the Saiyans fight together in Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego forms. Vegeta launches a Sphere of Destruction, but Gas pushes it back. Goku deflects blasts to protect the city. Vegeta orders Goku to back off, saying his Ultra Instinct is unchanged and he must improve quickly. Goku meditates on a plateau, forming a barrier. Gas defeats Vegeta, but Goku saves him with the barrier and moves him aside. Goku approaches Gas, ready to power up. Gas wonders if Goku will use a known form or something new. Goku reveals he has discovered his best form — True Ultra Instinct. He explains his Sign form uses current emotions, not calmness like Perfected Ultra Instinct. Gas attacks furiously but loses. Goku finishes with a heavy kick, sending Gas flying. Elec scolds Gas; Goku warns him not to force fights, but Elec insists there will be no next time. Gas bursts with new power, aged but stronger, overwhelming Goku until Granolah arrives. Goku tries to hold Gas while Granolah powers a final attack. Vegeta joins. Granolah’s attack, aided by Oatmeel, strikes Gas, who falls but is not dead. Granolah tells his siblings to take Gas away and never return. He apologizes to Goku and Vegeta. After Monaito heals them, Gas suddenly shoots Monaito, who falls. Goku and Vegeta transform to fight again but are outmatched. Gas’s body decays from damage. Frieza arrives, kills Gas and Elec easily, then targets Goku and Vegeta. He reveals he defeated Gas by being in another dimension. Frieza transforms into Black Frieza, defeats Goku and Vegeta easily, then spares them and leaves. Whis restores Monaito as a favor. He asks Goku and Vegeta to leave immediately since Beerus struggles to make instant yakisoba. Goku invites Granolah to train, but he refuses, wanting to fix Cereal first. Monaito gives Goku Bardock’s scouter before they leave. Goku asks Whis if the strongest warrior the Oracle Fish mentioned is Frieza. Whis replies it could be him or someone else who has since appeared. |

Power Source: Ki (All beings in Dragon Ball[4][5][6] have ki, the very life force energy of all characters[7], ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even[8] block attacks that would otherwise[9] kill them from[10] raising their guard[11], higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them[12])
Attack Potency: At least Island level (Takes place after the buu saga, where he was so much stronger than before that was unimpressed by Dabura's power, who he compared to Perfect Cell, who is far superior to his Semi-Perfect form, who destroyed several islands with several blast), Higher with Biting (Goku can bite opponents he previously could not harm to do some damage), Far Higher in Super Saiyan Transformations, Even Higher as Super Saiyan God (Fought against Beerus and impresed him enough to where he held off on destroying the earth, [1]), Varies: Skill with Strongest Charged Blast (Charged Blast have one focus all of their energy into one single point[13], putting the blasts power far beyond what their peak strength is[14], allowing them to destroy things they couldn't prior with their regular attacks[15], this also allows them to use charged attacks that can stop enemies far beyond their level, such as Tien Shinhan pushing back Semi-Perfect Cell with his Neo Ki-Ko-Ho[16], along with stopping an attack shot from Buu absorbed Gotenks[17]. Strongest charged blast can gather ki to shoot out blast far beyond what the character is normally capable of[18], with blasts capable of[19] seriously damaging/destroying[20] the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent[21]. Charged Blast also rely heavily on emotional states for example Gohan not believing in himself[22] was having Cell overpower him in a beam clash[23]. His charged kamehameha stopped Beerus' blast which would've destroyed the earth).

Intelligence: Below Average Intelligence socially (Raised in the mountains with his adoptive grandpa before the latter’s death, knows little to nothing about how society functions), At least Below Average, possibly Above Average academics wise (While training with Master Roshi he learned about Math & Calculus, though Goku has displayed he can’t count beyond 18 after being explained to him what comes after 18 he was able to quickly count past it, along with this he has shown to have better understanding academically of situations), Genius Intelligence combat wise (Copies a kamehameha after seeing it once, which is supposed to take 50 years to learn according to Roshi, copied Master Roshi’s ultimate technique the afterimage after seeing it done, could copy Tien’s solar flare and his flying technique and could copy the demon clan’s air ki techniques. Goku is an incredibly skilled fighter to the point that he is able to easily outskill trained Martial Artists such as Krillin and Yamcha and match prodigies such as Tien and even nearly beat his Master, Roshi, after training with him for a few months. Was able to repeatedly adapt to the power of Super Saiyan God, making it take him to new heights and afterwards absorbed the power into him so he could have it's strength even in base form)

Standard Tactics: Goku is a trained and gifted martial artists who has always kept the same tactics when entering battle. Goku will size up his opponent to see where their strengths and weaknesses lay, see how strong they are, and dish out various martial arts attacks and techniques to overwhelm his opponent. Goku will never immedieatly go all out from the start unless he fully needs to and will usually start with warm ups.

Q: What about the planetary feats in Dragon Ball?
A: Planetary feats are normally done through their strongest charged blast, where they can gather ki to shoot out blast far beyond what the character is normally capable of[180], with blasts capable of[181] seriously damaging/destroying[182] the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent[183], though they themselves are never capable of leaving this unscathed.
Frieza throws a destroy the planet death ball attack but it doesn't destroy the planet. Goku then interestingly notes the reason the planet didn't blow up is because Frieza was too scared of getting caught in the blast[184] . Vegeta's final flash is noted it's going to destroy the planet and Perfect Cell, who is beyond Vegeta, couldn't tank the blast and had to dodge it last second or it would've killed him[185]. Goku's kamehameha was going to destroy the earth and Cell cannot tank this blast, needing to regenerate[186]. Semi-Perfect Cell explosion was consistently noted it was going to destroy the planet and Gohan and it killed Goku[187]. Ultimate Gohan dies to an attack that destroys the earth, his guard was up too since this was when he was fighting Super Buu[188]. Kid Buu shoots a blast trying to destroy the planet, with Vegeta noting he's going to take himself out with it if he lets it off[189]. In Dragon Ball GT, Great Ape Baby Vegeta shoots a super galick gun that he claims will destroy Earth, when Goku is hit by it, he is knocked out to the point that he can't move for a good while, Elder Kai and Shin later state that Baby is going to shoot another blast that will destroy the planet on, greatly injuring Baby if he's caught in the Blast and will kill everyone on the planet if done[190]. Frieza destroyed the entire earth, killing Vegeta in the process[191]. In the Dragon Ball Super Manga, Gohan tells Goku that he doesn't need to hold anything back and can go all out because anything that happens to the Earth can be restored with Dende and the Dragon Balls. Yet, none of Goku's all out attacks destroy the planet but just heavily causes shockwaves around it[192]. Semi-Perfect Cell unleashes a several blast that destroys several islands Android 16 notes that the attacks are just strong enough to not kill Android 18[193].
In the fight of Trunks vs. Mecha Frieza, who is far stronger than his final form, Mecha Frieza immediately goes for his strongest attack, the Supernova. In the original Z anime King Kai even states this is ten times stronger than the power he used on Namek:
