Son Goku, born Kakarot, is a Saiyan raised on Earth and the overall main protagonist of the Dragon Ball series, along with playing a huge role in Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai. Originally was sent to Earth as an infant, Kakarot would be adopted by Grandpa Gohan who named him Son Goku. A head injury at an early age alters Goku's memory, ridding him of his initial destructive nature and allowing him to grow up to become one of Earth's greatest defenders.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Son Goku’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Chapter 1 In Age 776, two years after the defeat of Kid Buu, everyone forgot the terror and everything returned to normal. Goku goes camping with his friends, hoping Piccolo and Vegeta can make it too. Goten went ahead to Trunks' place, Capsule Corporation, and while Goku is still near his house, his eldest son Gohan joins him. Goku wonders why Gohan is coming since he was working for a test. Gohan replies that his mother said "You can't stay in your room all the time!", so he decided to go out today and get some exercise. The two then have a sparring match, which is won by Goku since it has been a while since Gohan fought and he got out of shape quick. The two then fly to the meeting place. They are joined on the way by Yamcha, who saw them flying along while Puar and the others are coming by car. When Yamcha asks how the bike Goku got is working out, Goku says that the bike is kinda in pieces right now and Gohan mentions that no matter how many times his father tries to fix it, it falls apart again. Yamcha then suggests they should talk to Bulma about it. Yamcha then joins the others in the car, while Goku and Gohan go on ahead. They decide to get fish for dinner. While Goku goes catch some, Gohan goes to get Piccolo. While looking for a river, Goku meets Krillin. He laughs and remarks Krillin looks just like old times, since he had his head shaved again. Krillin asks Goku to not hit his head, or pet it, and no polishing. He then says that Android 18 and Marron used him as a toy while he was sleeping, and this happened. Goku then proposes a little fight, but Krillin says there is no way he can take Goku on. Goku promises he will not go Super Saiyan and will hold back, and Krillin then agrees if Goku doesn't use Kaio-ken either. Goku wins the match, and then asks where Mr. Satan and Mr. Buu are. Krillin says that Buu is finally able to go outside, quoting Mr. Satan:"Listen Buu! A champ need a heart of love and justice!" He adds that the two have been studying society and traveling around. He thinks Mr. Satan has seen too many historical movies, and that he heard he borrowed a spaceship and went off somewhere. When Gohan arrives at The Lookout, he finds no one there. He checks everywhere, until only the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is left. He finds Piccolo there, who tells him the lookout is empty since everyone went camping. Seeing Gohan is wearing his gi, he proposes a sparring match. Gohan wins, with Piccolo saying that his is the kind of strength he would have expected from a Saiyan and that Gohan really has gotten stronger. The two then decide to leave the lookout, with Piccolo saying he can not wait to spar with Goku as well. On the way, they see Gotenks, and hear him saying he found "I found it! That big energy! You can't hide from me!" They tell him to wait but he leaves, and Gohan follows him. Gotenks finds Pikkon, with Pikkon shocked to see Gotenks was the energy that was following him. Gotenks remarks Pikkon is not from Earth and asks why he is here. Pikkon says he is looking for something, nothing to do with Gotenks. He then asks if Gotenks knows Goku. Gotenks says he is his father and his father's biggest rival. Pikkon says that is an odd answer and concludes he must be using the Fusion technique. Pikkon says he is Goku's rival from the Other World and needs to see him, stating that, maybe because he has been there so long, he can not sense him. Gotenks says he does not believe Pikkon yet, and that if he wants to meet his father, Pikkon will have to get through him first. Pikkon wins and says Gotenks is strong but just flailing around. Gotenks then indicates a location, saying Goku is camping there. Pikkon arrive in a rocky wasteland and senses what is definitely a Saiyan. When approaching, he looses it, and Vegeta then appears above him. Pikkon says he is looking for Goku and introduces himself to Vegeta. Vegeta gets angry when Pikkon says that he was Goku's rival in the Other World, saying that Kakarot (Goku) can have all the friends he want, but he IS his rival. The two than have a fight, won by Pikkon. Vegeta then turns Super Saiyan, saying that was enough for a warm-up before the main attraction, still angry that Pikkon said he was Kakarot's rival. Just then, Goku arrives via Instant Transmission, guided by the really amazing energies he felt. Pikkon says he has been looking for Goku and he needs him to come to Hell. The two leave. Gotenks arrives and asks where Pikkon took Goku. Vegeta says he went to the afterlife. Gotenks asks if Goku died again, and Vegeta says not this time. When Krillin arrives and asks Vegeta if he has seen Goku, Vegeta remarks it is excellent that Krillin is here, and asks Krillin to come and kill him now. Vegeta precises Kakarot went to Hell, and he wants to go after him, so he has to die. Krillin says he cannot do that while Vegeta's son is watching, and then propose to use the Dragon Balls to join Goku instead. Krillin, Vegeta, and Gotenks then go to find the Dragon Balls. In Hell, Goku remarks that something is different. Pikkon says that right now, Heaven and Hell alike are in trouble. Goku wants to reach Kibito Kai, but he can't feel him. Pikkon says there is some kind of barrier between worlds. Goku tries a Kamehameha to break the barrier, but it does not do anything. Pikkon says he nearly got caught in the barrier himself, but West Kai sent him outside the barrier just in time. When Goku asks about King Yemma, Kibito Kai arrives and answers that King Yemma was sealed. With King Yemma sealed, the dead are being reborn. Kibito Kai says they can ask Gohan and the others to protect Earth, and then asks Goku to help him protect the Other World. Goku accepts and then asks something to eat, but Kibito Kai says he has nothing. Pikkon and Goku then have a little warm-up before they start investigating, which Goku wins, in order to get some food from Pikkon. Pikkon gives him just a little, saying the dead do not need to eat much. Back on Earth, Gohan says Gotenks went off somewhere with Vegeta, Piccolo is not here yet either, and Krillin headed for the camp. He then sense an energy: Frieza. He has a body and no halo above his head, and is on Earth. Gohan confronts him, and Frieza is honored that someone still knows his name. He says it is time for some fireworks to commemorate his return and that even if he dies again, he might be able to come back. Gohan turns Super Saiyan, and Frieza now remembers and recognizes him as Goku's son. Gohan tries to turn into Great Saiyaman, but he can not; he then remembers his mother did the laundry yesterday and his costume must not be dry yet. He fights and defeats Frieza, but is already worn out yet and remarks he should be stronger than Frieza. Frieza says he is a little tired too and proposes to take a break, saying he will kill Gohan next time and show his body to Goku. Piccolo arrives when Frieza leaves and says he saw the fight, asking Gohan why he could not like he did with Super Buu. Gohan replies that when he fought him, something was odd about Frieza, as was saying he had been resurrected. Gohan then say they have to contact everyone, carefully. The two then split up. Back in the Other World, Goku says nothing seems out of the ordinary, but Pikkon feels something evil in the breeze. Kibito Kai proposes the find the source of that wind, and they then start looking. They reach it thanks Kibito Kai's Kai Kai, and see the gathering energy clumping together. Kibito Kai remarks it is only evil energy that is rising and all coming together, saying that something might have happened after Kid Buu was defeated. He adds that anyone who takes in that energy will surely become evil. Goku then do a Kamehameha from a distance in an attempt to extinguish it, but he just stirred it around some. The energy then begins to change and takes a form: that of a powerful demon who they decide to call Janemba. Kibito Kai asks Goku to defeat Janemba now, before the demon starts moving. Goku turns into a Super Saiyan and beats Janemba. He says that Janemba is using some weird special move, and it is like he knows how Goku moves. He then remarks that there is still more energy taking on a demon-shape and asks Kibito Kai to contact Pikkon, and Gohan and the others while he tries to hold Janemba off, also saying he well need a Senzu Bean after the battle. Once Kibito Kai leaves, Goku turns Super Saiyan 2. Chapter 2 With the birth of Janemba and the return of Frieza, Earth has become the stage for their battle once again. Gohan and Piccolo who were looking at a town, suddenly saw the dead came back to life. Gohan went to investigate and stop them, leaving Piccolo alone. While Piccolo wonders what happened in the Other World, Cell suddenly appeared. Cell asked if Piccolo wants a one-way express ticket to Other World. Piccolo shocked, questions why Cell is here. Cell brushes his question and simply commented that Piccolo should be more worried about facing him. Cell remarks this is the first time he really felt alive since the day he was made. Cell wanted to tear Gohan apart, but remembered that Gohan wouldn't be serious, unless enraged. Piccolo proceeds to transform into his Fused with Kami state. Cell said that he won't kill Piccolo, but will stop just before doing so, and give him to Gohan. Piccolo and Cell battle each other. Cell was impressed, noting that Piccolo has come so far. Piccolo exhausted, said that he won't let Cell touch Gohan, saying that Cell took away Goku's life when Gohan is still a young boy. Cell escapes by using a Solar Flare. Piccolo is frustrated that he falls for this trick again. Gohan arrives, due to sensing Piccolo is in danger. Piccolo aksed if Gohan felt the energy from that fight, to which he did but remarks that there is some kind of fog, making it harder to see from far away. Piccolo comments that something is making it hard to sense energy. Gohan also asked what's going on, now that he can't sense Goku's energy either. Frieza, Cell, and the bad guys are coming back from Hell. As Kami, Piccolo says he could've check there, but can't reach Dende. Gohan thinks that Dende could've went there and got stuck. Gohan asks Piccolo what to do, but he doesn't know what to do and simply told Gohan to deal with the disaster in front of them. They went on to search for Frieza and Cell. Meanwhile in Hell, Super Saiyan 2 Goku is struggling in defeating Janemba. Janemba attacked the now hungry and tired Goku, leading to Goku to return to base form. Janemba began laughing maniacally at Goku. Janemba made a huge energy blast, taking a human form. Turns out, Janemba made a Clone of Goku. Goku asks if the clone is him, the clone says yes. The Clone Goku is excited to fight the real Goku. After defeating the clone, Janemba proceeds to make another one. Goku escapes the fight to reunite with Pikkon. Back on Earth, Trunks says he has found the Dragon Radar. Vegeta asks Trunks where Bulma and the others go. Trunks says that they should've been on the way to the camp but they haven't arrive yet. Vegeta says it's very noisy out here, Trunks asks if they should go and have a look. Vegeta says yes, and asks Trunks to bring Goten along. They went to investigate the noise, to which Vegeta doesn't like the look of this situation. Then he finds Android 18. Vegeta asked what she's doing here and if she's up to no good. Android 18 says that she's not doing anything bad, and also felt evil energy around them. Android 18 says that Vegeta needs to stay here and behave for a moment. Now angered, Vegeta transforms into Super Saiyan and says he's going to fight her. Android 18 says that she's not beaten yet, and the battle has just begun. Vegeta then asks Android 18 to take Goten and Trunks somewhere safe to hide. He also asks if she finds Bulma and the others, to take them to Kame House. Vegeta later stated that Yamcha is the only one at the camp and says he can't rely on Yamcha. Android 18 agrees, (albeit reluctantly) to take Goten and Trunks to hide. Vegeta apologizes to her and prepares to leave, when Android 18 asks why his face is red, telling her to shut up. The player is given two choices: A. Vegeta is fine alone. B. Vegeta should go find Trunks. Chapter 3 Despite defeating Janemba, the disaster remains. Goku, Pikkon and Vegeta return to Earth by using Instant Transmission. After they arrive, Goku tells Kibito Kai about the situation back on Hell. Kibito Kai explains that there is a ring that cleanse the evil energy. He adds that people should always strive for themselves and the others. If they only think of themselves, certain energy is born. The one that doesn't care about themselves can be consumed with evil. Gohan asks if the evil energy gets collected after one dies. Kibito Kai says it works that way, and it's being generated more easily and can spread like contagion. Now that the evil energy also made it's way to Earth, it makes the situation even more dangerous, since good people can also turn evil if affected. Goku suggests using the dragon balls to fix this, Kibito Kai agrees. While Goku, Gohan and Kibito Kai search for the dragon balls, Pikkon stays in case Janemba returns. Gohan and Kibito Kai looked through a hole, they find Cooler. They spot Cooler has a dragon ball, Ultimate Gohan prepares to fight Final Form Cooler, with the latter realizing he's a Saiyan. Gohan orders Cooler to hand over the dragon ball, but Cooler refuses. They prepare for battle. Ultimate Gohan proves too strong for Cooler to handle. Gohan tells Cooler to be nice and hand the dragon ball over, but Cooler escapes by using Instant Transmission. Gohan prepares to make a chase, but Kibito Kai assures him they can wait, since it's only one dragon ball. At Ruins, Goku wonders where the dragon balls are , since they don't have the radar. Frieza reveals he has just found one. Frieza says he's also here for revenge against Goku. Super Saiyan Goku reluctantly agrees to fight 100% Full Power Frieza. Goku manages to defeat Frieza. Frieza says he can't move. Goku states he can transform two more times. Goku exclaims Frieza is done. The player is given two choices: A. Finish Frieza off B. Leave Frieza Chapter 3 Path A Goku says "nothing he says will change Frieza's mind now" as he prepares to kill Frieza. Frieza blasted, shouts to Goku that he will always come back no matter what. After finishing Frieza, Goku continues his journey to find the dragon balls. Cell is now at The Lookout, realizing he can always come back despite being killed, and also getting stronger thanks to his Saiyan genes. Pikkon meanwhile, is trying to find the places where the energy is the thickest, when suddenly he feels he is being watched. Pikkon eventually ran into Cell. Cell says he will send Pikkon back to Heaven and transforms into his Super Perfect Form. Pikkon makes sure Cell will eat those words, and they start to battle. Cell eventually gains the upper hand, and then boasts about the Saiyan genes, causing Pikkon to lament Cell's similiarities to Goku's. Cell prepares to finish off Pikkon, but just before he could make the move, they felt someone is also in their vicinity. Cell returns to his Perfect Form and orders "the someone" to come out of their hiding. "The someone" reveals itself as Gotenks, in his Super Saiyan 3 Form, exclaiming he's just waiting for the right moment to put an end to Cell. Having enough of Gotenks' babbling, Cell transforms back into his Super Perfect From and "makes sure it's the time for the brats to take a nap." The two proceed to fight. Despite having difficulties, Cell eventually gained the upper-hand thanks to the evil energy and his Saiyan DNA. Gotenks tells Cell he is "saving something for the rainy day". Cell is shocked that Gotenks is not done yet. Gotenks reveals he has prepared 100 Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. Cell excited with the challenge, says he only need to evade and fire energy blasts at the Ghosts. After preparing the Ghosts, Gotenks escapes. After having too much fun dealing with the Ghosts, Cell laments himself that everyone got away. While thinking about his next move, Krillin appears. Krillin chastise his bad luck for always running into the villains. Cell is amused by this. Cell would like to ask a question to Krillin. Krillin rejects. But Cell says he would like to do this in a civilized manner. To sweeten the pot, Cell will answer one of Krillin's question. Being outmatched by Cell's power, Krillin agrees to this. Krillin realizes Cell is in his Perfect Form, asking if Cell is going to absorb Android 17 and Android 18 again. Cell asks if that's what Krillin is thinking. Now Cell asked Krillin about the whereabouts of the dragon balls or the radar. Krillin says he can't tell Cell about that, angering Cell. Cell says Krillin can be his hostage while looking for the dragon balls. Scared, Krillin turns into his unlock potential form to fight Cell. Cell manages to defeat Krillin easily. With the defeat of Krillin, Cell uses Krillin as his hostage while waiting for either Goku or Android 18 to come and try to save Krillin. Out of nowhere, someone tells Krillin not to give up. Android 18 tells Cell to let Krillin go, while Krillin tells 18 to get out of here. Taunting 18, Cell wonders if he can still absorb her despite already achieving Perfection, in exhange he will let go of Krillin safe and sound. With no options left, 18 agrees. Cell prepares to give Krillin to her, (albeit throwing him straight to The Lookout) the latter says Krillin is still hurt. Android 18 prepares to fight Cell. Perfect Cell is stronger and better than Android 18. Just before Cell is able to finish her off, Piccolo fires an energy blast at Cell, while Krillin uses a Destructo Disc. Outnumbered, Cell taunts to the three of them that he can still take them on. Chapter 3 Path B Goku leaves Frieza alone now that he can't move. He goes to Plains and wonders where Vegeta is. While exploring, somehow Goku finds Teen Gohan, likely caused by time anomalies. Teen Gohan wonders how he's here. Present Gohan notes that there is a lot of suspicious activity around here, Kibito Kai says it must be due distortions in space. Goku arrives and picks up Gohan, they then teleport. Goku asks if Gohan is hiding something from him, Gohan denies such thing. Then, Goku asks Gohan what's that (pointing at Teen Gohan). Gohan acknowledges it as his past self, while Goku thinks it's Gohan and Videl's child. Gohan rebuffs this. Gohan wonders what is going on with Goku's head, turns out Goku is just messing with him. Suddenly, Teen Gohan comes to them and calls Goku "dad." Goku continues messing with the Present Gohan after his past self calls him dad. Teen Gohan knows Goku is his real father and asks if Goku knows it's him. Checking his past self, Present Gohan spar with Teen Gohan while asking some questions, they both turn into Super Saiyans. While Teen Gohan is impressed with his future self, the Present Gohan is struggling for breath. Goku tells Present Gohan to stop acting like an old man. Teen Gohan asks Present Gohan if he has become a scholar yet, Present Gohan says that there's a delay and he is still working on it. Teen Gohan also realizes that Goku has came back to life. Goku asks how Teen Gohan is able to get here, Teen Gohan says he doesn't know and he felt like he's floating. Present Gohan concludes that the current situation may have affecting timelines. Goku invites Teen Gohan to have a sparring match. Present Gohan asks to his past self how to refer to each other, the latter says "just by the name." Before continuing their quest in finding the dragon ball, Gohan asks: A. What about Supreme Kai? B. What about Yamcha Click on either of the options above to find out more about the respective paths. Chapter 3 Path BA Goku says he left Kibito Kai back there, and asks the Gohans to pick him up, while Goku searches for the dragon balls. Gohan tells Goku that Yamcha and Tien are dealing with Broly, Goku tells Gohan that they will go and help them. Kibito Kai jokes that "the population of Gohan has increased." While Gohan and Kibito Kai are having a conversation, Teen Gohan finds Piccolo. Before continuing their explorations, Piccolo asks Gohan to turn into Super Saiyan and have a spar with him. Piccolo is impressed with Teen Gohan's ability. Piccolo says he must part ways with the trio and wishes them good luck. Then they head to Snow Plains. Gohan notes that the hole in space is also here. Teen Gohan wonders if he entered that hole, and suggests Present Gohan to use a Kamehameha. Present Gohan agrees, then powers up before firing a powerful Kamehameha. Teen Gohan is impressed with his adult counterpart's power. Present Gohan concludes that the hole will closing if it's being forced to open. While thinking of the next move, Videl arrives. Videl then sees Teen Gohan and asks if that is Gohan's another younger brother. Gohan explains that this is his past self. Videl realizes that this is the Gohan she saw on TV during The Cell Games. Teen Gohan introduces himself to Videl, which the latter responds thinking Teen Gohan is tiny and cute whilst hugging him. Then Videl remembers that "a gold guy is going nuts." The Gohans spot Broly again. The Present Gohan tells Videl to go somewhere safe. This time, it's Teen Gohan that will fight Broly. Teen Gohan transforms into Super Saiyan to battle Broly. Detecting Goku's ki, Broly transforms into Legendary Super Saiyan to find Goku. The Gohans also make a chase for it. Present Gohan turns into his Ultimate Form. Finally finding Goku, Broly says he will kill Goku for good. Goku tries to reason with him, to no use. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 2 to fight Broly. However, Goku lost and tries to escape. Just before Goku is toast, Vegeta makes his arrival and proclaims he is "the one that will defeat Goku." Vegeta seemingly kills Broly. Goku thanks Vegeta but realizes the Majin mark on Vegeta's forehead. Goku is disgusted about Majin Vegeta's weak heart and succumb to such trick again, and also adds that the Vegeta he knew doesn't lose his pride even when he's quiet. Sick of Majin Vegeta's false statements, Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 3 to fight Majin Vegeta. Super Saiyan 3 is able to make short work of Majin Vegeta and the latter couldn't move fast enough to catch Goku. However, Majin Vegeta is having trouble in controlling himself and escapes. Gohan tells Goku not to make a chase, since Goku is tired after the fights. Goku asks for a Senzu Bean. Gohan tries to chase Vegeta. Meanwhile, Teen Gohan is bemused by the long hair of Super Saiyan 3. Goku returns to base form. Teen Gohan alerts Goku that Piccolo is in danger, Teen Gohan says he can hear his voice for a moment. Goku asks Teen Gohan for the directions, turns out Piccolo is in the same direction as Gohan and Majin Vegeta. Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport them away. They arrived at The Lookout. Videl explains to the trio that everyone is being taken out by Cell. Gohan asks where is Cell now and transforms into Super Saiyan. Cell is excited that he finds Teen Gohan, a perfect moment to have his revenge long time ago. Kibito Kai begs for Teen Gohan not to fall into his rage, but Teen Gohan turns into Super Saiyan 2. Teen Gohan prepares to kill Cell again. Blinded by his rage, Kibito Kai notes that Teen Gohan may fall for the evil energy. Videl tries to have a word with him, only for the latter to tell her to shut up, saying he will kill Cell. Teen Gohan kills Cell but is overwhelmed by the evil energy and his rage. True to Kibito Kai's previous doubt. Goku arrives and finds the rage-blinded Gohan. Kibito Kai fills Goku in with the current situation. However, Gohan is unable to hear Goku's words. Goku tells Kibito Kai to get out of the way and to have a Senzu Bean ready for Gohan. Goku turns into Kaioken and tells Gohan not to hold back. After this, Goku manages to have some words to Gohan. Gohan finally manages to drive the rage and the evil energy out of him. He then ran into Goku and cries, the latter says to stop crying now that he's not a kid anymore. The Present Gohan is somewhat embarrased about the situation. Videl asks Present Gohan what he feels about himself now, Gohan says he used to hate fighting, but have to protect his loved ones and the planet. Teen Gohan is tired out by his crying and passed out. Goku asks The Present Gohan about Majin Vegeta situation. Present Gohan says he lost him, and tells Goku that they should go for the dragon balls, now that Cell and Cooler are also after them. Rejuvenated with the Senzu Bean, Goku join forces with Piccolo and the others to find the dragon balls. Chapter 4 Recapping the previous chapter: Goku manages to cleanse Teen Gohan from the evil energy, while the evil imposter brainwashed the real Vegeta into a majin again, an enemy. And it seems the dimensional link also brought forth another warrior. Future Trunks somehow ended up in the present timeline (past from Future Trunks' point of view), due to the distortions among the timelines. While questioning about what's happening, Trunks decides to explore things further. Android 18 spots Trunks, the latter is surprised what she is doing here. Android 18 says she doesn't wish to fight, but too late Trunks has already made up his mind. After the battle, Android 18 manages to calm Trunks down. Trunks realizes he is in the past now. Trunks checks if Android 18 is not up for something bad, Android 18 says no, now that she's a housewife. With Trunks still confused about the situation, Android 18 tells Trunks she is married to Krillin and have a daughter, Trunks is shocked. Trunks asks about the current situation, unfortunately #18 doesn't really know either. Trunks tells #18 that he's going to look for Vegeta, due to the evil nature of his energy. Android 18 says he should go ask Goku about that. Trunks parts with #18 and searches for Goku. Goten asks to Kid Trunks why he's gotten big all of the sudden. Kid Trunks shouts he's over here, and also sees how big Future Trunks is. Goten asks if he's a clone, Pikkon says it's getting suspicious since he's way older. Kid Trunks asks if Pikkon is okay now, the latter says yes. Kid Trunks says they're gonna have a big battle soon, and proceeds to fuse into Gotenks again, with a new record-breaking time with 0.05 seconds. Gotenks calls for Future Trunks, and taunts him that he's going to "peel that mask off like a banana" (referring to the similar looks of Kid Trunks and Future Trunks). Future Trunks is now scared, and asks if there's any Saiyan survivor left besides Broly. The two of them proceeds to fight. After the fight, Future Trunks compliments Gotenks for being this strong, and asks if they are really enemies. Gotenks notes that his energy feels good, nothing's weird about him. Pikkon then punches Gotenks for being impolite and tells him to apologize if he made a mistake. After that, the fusion defuses. Future Trunks is surprised now that he split into two, Kid Trunks tells him about the Metamoran Fusion. Kid Trunks asks if Future Trunks is really his future counterpart, he's heard stories from Vegeta. Future Trunks confirms this. Kid Trunks is happy to meet his future counterpart, and also notes Future Trunks is "like a cool big brother". Kid Trunks asks if Future Trunks arrive here with a Time Machine, Future Trunks explains to Kid Trunks about some kind of hole in space and also felt Majin Vegeta's energy. Goten and Pikkon explains to Future Trunks about the current situation and tells Future Trunks that Majin Vegeta isn't his father. They all start to search for Majin Vegeta. Reaching Plains, they continue to head for the evil energy. They ran into Frieza. This time Future Trunks will fight, because Kid Trunks and Goten already fought before and would like to see Future Trunks in action. Future Trunks transforms into Super Saiyan and sarcastically asks Frieza if he's "still wishing to make the sword dirty". Future Trunks is able to defeat Frieza, but Frieza finds a clock, which Kid Trunks screams Frieza have the Dragon Ball and the radar. Turns out, Frieza manages to steal them from Goten while he's not looking. Before Future Trunks prepares to chase Frieza, Pikkon tells him that he will take care of Frieza, telling Future Trunks to search for Vegeta. Trunks asks Pikkon: A. Future Trunks will look for Vegeta. B. Ask about the Dragon Ball.

Range: Standard Melee, Interstellar with Ki Attacks (Ki attacks can reach out of the planet and to other planets. All ki attacks should be comparable to Goku's kamehameha, which reached all the way to the sun) (Ki attacks can reach out of the planet and to other planets. All ki attacks should be comparable to Goku's kamehameha, which reached all the way to the sun), Interstellar with Instant Transmission (Instant Transmission. Can forcibly send his opponent to other places such as heaven)

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 (Should be the same level of intelligence as his main timeline self, who 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)

Notable Techniques

TechniquesForms and Transformations

• 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.

• Tail Attack: A technique used by those who have tail in order to attack their opponents. They can use it to whip or constrict the opponent. Goku uses this to break free from Tien Shinhan's Four Witches Technique.

• Double Axe Hand: Goku cups his hands together and reels back, then slams his fists on the opponent.

• Eight-Arm Fist: A physical technique that involves its user moving their arms fast enough that they seemingly have eight of them, allowing them to attack and defend themselves much more efficiently. Used to counter Tien Shinhan's Four Witches Technique.

• Crazy Fist: A distraction technique used by Goku and designed to confuse and taunt the opponent. Pretending to be a wild uncontrollable dog or monkey, Goku catches his opponent off guard, and eventually knocks him out with a swift kick by jumping from behind. Goku uses this in reaction to Jackie Chun's Drunken Fist.

• Tornado!: After calling the name of the attack, Goku spins while rushing on the opponent to attack him/her. Used against Nam.

• Afterimage Technique: Goku creates perfect replica afterimages of himself to give the illusion of him still being in a location making it difficult for the opponent to actually harm his true self.

• Mid-Air Stop: While falling to the ground, Goku exhales his breath like an explosive blast to stop his decent. Goku uses this technique against King Chappa in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament preliminaries.

• Tail Helicopter: Goku swings his tail in a circle fast enough to hover and fly freely. Used only once, in his fight against Jackie Chun in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament.

• Agile Style: After his training under Kami, Goku could remove the Weighted portions Turtle School Uniform to increase his power level and agility due to being no longer incumbered by the heavy weights allowing him to utilize a more agile fighting style hence its name. Goku first used it during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament and later when he confronted his brother Raditz alongside Piccolo. According to Raditz's Scouter, Goku's power level rose from 334 to 416 indicating the weight removal alone increased his power level by 82. This state was named in Dragon Ball Legends (albeit in relation to Piccolo & Pikkon's use of Agile Style) where it is the "base" form used by Goku (DBL22-01S) which represents Goku from the period during which he fought Raditz.

• Dragonthrow: Goku grabs his opponent's arm, leg, tail, or antenna, then he spins and throws them away.

• Meteor Combination: First, Goku charges at the opponent and elbows them away. Then, he attacks the opponent with a powerful barrage of kicks and punches, ending with a heavy punch to their stomach. When the opponent lays on the ground paralyzed, Goku jumps up in the air and fires a Super Kamehameha down at the opponent, inflicting a massive amount of damage.

• Meteor Smash: Goku punches the opponent in the stomach. Then, he punches the opponent away and flies after them to right hook kick them in their face. Finally, Goku axe kicks the side of the opponent's head, knocking them away and inflicting a great deal of damage.

• Bōjutsu: The art of wielding a staff which Goku utilizes when wielding his Power Pole. Goku learned it from the Power Pole's previous owner, his adoptive Grandpa Gohan. Goku's Bōjutsu skills are so great that he can use his Power Pole to deflect bullets as shown during his assault on Muscle Tower. Additionally, due to the Power Pole's mystical length changing properties, his attack range with the Power Pole is much greater than an average staff.

• Kaoi-ken Finish: First, Goku charges at the opponent and kicks them up into the air. Then, he flies up after the opponent and double axe-handle punches them down to the ground. Next, he powers up to his Kaio-ken technique as he charges down at the opponent and double-punches them in their back. Finally, Goku quickly lands on the ground and catches the opponent on their back before throwing them onto the ground, inflicting a great deal of damage.

• Kaoi-Ken Attack: Goku powers up to Kaio-ken x3 as he charges at the opponent and roundhouse kicks them up into the air. Then, he flies up in the air and punches the opponent away. Next, he flies up over the opponent and down behind to double kick them further up into the air. Finally, Goku flies up into the air around the opponent and hook kicks them down into the ground, inflicting a huge amount of damage.

• Ki Blast: The most basic energy attack, Goku creates a small form of energy that he blasts at an opponent, usually he uses this to keep his distance from an enemy or to distract them so he can land another attack.

• Kiai: A technique where Goku affects the air currents around him with ki to produce powerful shockwaves in order to strike the opponent at mid-range.

• Kamehameha: Goku's signature move since obtaining it. It unleashes a powerful and long-stretching blue energy blast 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.

• 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 only the most powerful of foes.

• Instant Transmission: Goku learns this technique on the Planet Yardrat after his battle with Frieza by learning Spirit Control - which also allowed him to sense ki from a much greater distance. 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.

• Solar Flare: Goku places his hands close to the center of his face with the fingers spread toward his eyes. He then calls out the name of the technique, which provokes a white light to fire out and blind everything watching except him, since he is projecting the light.

• Great Ape: Like all Saiyans, Goku can transform into a Great Ape when absorbing enough blutz waves, usually from looking at a full moon, while still having his tail, though not of his choosing. As a Great Ape, Goku's dormant Saiyan traits re-emerge, and he becomes feral and violent. His power and senses increase 10-fold and are able to generate powerful mouth blasts. However, because his tail was removed permanently Kami when restoring the moon, Goku lost access completely to this form.

• 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, essentially absorbing the power of the Great Ape into himself. 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 heightened Goku's senses and instincts, able to detect the location of people's ki.

• Kaoi-ken: Goku learns this technique while training under King Kai after dying against Raditz. 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 mindedness, he was able to use this technique more regularly.

• Super Saiyan: Goku achieves this form in a rage after Frieza killed Krillin. In this form, Goku's muscle and height slight increase and his skin turns lighter. His eyes become noticeably sterner and more defined with green eyes. His hair becomes blond and stands with no loose strands. His power also generates a yellow aura. In the anime, when unleashing the full intensity of his power, Goku's aura also produces some slight electrical sparks. Goku's demeanor is greatly affected by this form, making him more aggressive and irritable.
  • Super Saiyan Second Grade: 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 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 if he could not actually hit his foe with it. This made this form impractical against foes of any real speed. Instead of training to overcome this problem, Goku decides that simply mastering the basic Super Saiyan, feeling that it is the best way to fight and gain power. As such a result, this form is never used again.
  • Mastered Super Saiyan: 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 regular life. Ultimately, he is able to enter, maintain, and fight in this form for as long as he desires at its full potential with no loss in efficiency or performance. In the anime, with this mastery, during the Tournament of Power, Goku - having gone well-beyond his limits - was able to flash between base and Super Saiyan to defeat Jiren alongside Frieza despite his battered and exhausted state.

• Super Saiyan 2: Goku achieved this form at some time after Cell's defeat while in the Other World. In this form, Goku gains some changes; his hair becomes spikier, his forehead has only three bangs over it, making his hair more defined than his other previous Super Saiyan forms. His muscles also become more defined, and his aura also generates electricity surrounding his body, while the aura grows markedly larger and more vibrant. Since gaining greater forms, Goku reserves this form for opponents he takes semi-seriously.

• Super Saiyan 3: Goku's strongest form in the original manga and anime. Goku achieved this level after years of training in Other World, where he could put unlimited energy into this form. In this form, his hair reaches down to his thighs and his eyebrows vanish completely while making the forehead and eye ridges larger and more prominent. His muscle mass grows noticeable larger more defined while his eyes gain green irises. His aura also becomes rounder with larger electrical sparks. Goku first used this form against Innocent Buu during the Majin Buu Saga, where he had a slight advantage over the Majin. However, this form is extremely draining in terms of energy due to the living world having less energy to siphon. This made him tire fast and even cut Goku's time left on Earth from hours to a mere thirty minutes after using this form for a short time. When attempting to gather enough energy to defeat Kid Buu, he was unable to sustain it as he had not taken into account the strain overcoming his living body, and soon reverted to his base state. Altogether, these heavy disadvantages make it impractical to use this form out of the afterlife and even more while alive.

• Fusion Dance: A short series of poses that are performed by two characters of equal power levels and roughly equal size. To correctly perform the Fusion, the fuses must strike the poses in a perfectly symmetrical image of one another. The result of a correctly performed Fusion Dance is a superior being whose power is multiplied several-fold over that of the individual fuses.

Other

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.

Weaknesses

• Standard Ki Weaknesses: Ki users that do not have sufficient training over their emotions put their power within a mental lock, thus affects to their emotions can seriously limit their powers, their emotions can also have them instinctively block using the full power of their attacks out of fear of the destruction along with lack of confidence in themselves. If a Ki user is inflicted with any kind of status, disease, or poison, powering up or transforming will put further strain on the body and can speed up the process of poison. Users of Ki Sensing cannot sense beings that invisible, even if the character is in front of them attacking them, they have a hard time countering them due to being invisible. Users of Ki Sensing also have a harder time sensing the true being using illusions, requiring them to focus in on energy fields to see who is moving and who is casting the illusion. Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, using a large amount of ki overtime can greatly weaken them to the point that characters far lower then them can actually harm them with attacks. Taking large amounts of damage can greatly deplete a ki users attacks, making it where attacks that would otherwise kill massively weakened characters, only pushes them back. Ki users cannot put all of their ki and strength into an attack if parts of their body are broken/injured, they also lose half of their chi if something like one of their arms are badly injured or broken.Ki users that are able to ki sense cannot do it when their guard is dropped, such as when Vegeta was able to sneak attack Son Goku during the end of their fight in the Buu Saga. Despite some ki users being able to reach blasts that can destroy planets through charged attacks or techniques, they have not shown to be able to tank such blasts themselves, with attacks that have destroyed several planets in the series always killing the character. Even characters such as Majin Buu's body cannot withstand the energy of a planet exploding. Using ki volley attacks come with the caveat of their aim being rather poor, making it harder to hit moving targets. If ki users are at all possessed, even by accident, their true self will be sleeping within, with the possessor needing to awaken them. Even if awoken, they are immobilized and unable to move without the possessor giving them the ability to, even with them wanting to wake up, they cannot do it. Specific waves can can suppress a ki users power, and put their consciousness to sleep. If Ki users stamina is broken, they will unable to be able to continue fighting for a short while, this will also cancel out any ki attack they were attempting to use, including ultimate's, this also adds on that ki users guards are down while charging ultimate attacks. Their stamina can also be broken if a character moves far too fast and surprise attacks them while they're charging their ki. Ki Users can also be grabbed out of charging their attacks. When ki users radiate their Ki at its highest, their body is also freed the most, making them open to attacks and making them easy to possess.
• Turtle Hermit Style Weaknesses: As the style does not incorporate any real fighting techniques, it has a heavy reliance on durability, stamina, muscles and speed, along with agility, thus anyone with superior statistics then them can easily overpower this style, along with this any character capable of using attacks that bypass defense altogether such as pressure point strikes can easily overcome a turtle hermit style user, even if they use extra forms and techniques to heighten their defenses. Thus anyone with techniques that ignore statistics or are simply higher in statistics than a Turtle Hermit Style user can easily overcome this style.
• Unique Weaknesses: Goku will not immedieatly go all out during a battle to size up his opponent and see how strong they are unless he openly needs too, making his guard low in some cases.

Note

• Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai's english script is heavily mistranslated with characters going off on tangents that make no sense, replying to different conversations, many typos, and writing errors. Such as a conversation between Vegeta and Android 18 where they went from talking about continuing the fight to Vegeta out of nowhere asking Android 18 to take Trunks and them away from the camp. Due to this, take a lot of the statistics and justifications with a grain of salt as there is no official updated translation that fixes these errors.
• Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities from ki use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up.
• The speed scaling for PLs are taken with a grain of salt as there are noticeable times where someone's speed isn't equal to their power, such as Burter being faster then Recoome and Jeice, along with Super Saiyan Grade 3 Trunks having his power greatly increased but his speed decreased.

Codex Statistics Questions

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, with blasts capable of seriously damaging/destroying the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent, though they themselves are never capable of leaving this unscathed.

ExamplesNon-Planetary Showings

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 . 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. Goku's kamehameha was going to destroy the earth and Cell cannot tank this blast, needing to regenerate. Semi-Perfect Cell explosion was consistently noted it was going to destroy the planet and Gohan and it killed Goku. Ultimate Gohan dies to an attack that destroys the earth, his guard was up too since this was when he was fighting Super Buu. 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. 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. Frieza destroyed the entire earth, killing Vegeta in the process. 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. 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.

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:

• DBZ Kai Version.
• Original DBZ Anime Version. The attack is directly noted that it could destroy the planet, but doesn't because Trunks catches it, when Mecha Frieza proceeds to detonate it, the explosion is massive but the planet is still intact, implying Frieza must target the core in order to destroy the planet.
