Dark Empire Saga
To fix the timeline, Xeno Goku and Xeno Trunks arrive to aid Goku in his fight against Xeno Frieza. When Xeno Frieza enters his 100% Full Power form to defend against two Super Kamehamehas from Xeno Goku and Super Saiyan Goku, the attacks create an opening. This allows Xeno Trunks to slip behind Xeno Frieza and sever him in half, mirroring the way Xeno Frieza's Death Saucer had previously struck in the original timeline, knocking the Dark Dragon Ball away from him. The battle then continues as it was supposed to, with the wounded Frieza pleading for Goku's mercy. Eventually, the timeline is restored to its proper state.
Prison Planet Saga
Upon their arrival at the Prison Planet, Goku encounters an alternate version of himself, known as Xeno Goku. Both Gokus notice the unique forms the other possesses—Goku has Super Saiyan Blue, while Xeno Goku has Super Saiyan 4. Curious to see who is stronger, they decide to spar. The battle is intense, and both seem evenly matched at first, but ultimately, Goku emerges victorious, with Xeno Goku acknowledging that Goku is a step above him. Goku then inquires further, but Xeno Goku reassures him that they are on the same side. At this point, Fu appears and explains the situation—if they want to escape the Prison Planet, they need to collect seven special Dragon Balls scattered across the prisoners. In the anime, the situation escalates when they are confronted by the evil Saiyan Cumber. Goku, in Super Saiyan 2, challenges Cumber. However, the exposure to Cumber's malevolent ki causes Goku to lose control of himself, and he transforms into Super Saiyan: Berserk, with his focus shifting from Cumber to attacking Vegeta. Future Trunks arrives with Cooler, and Cooler quickly transforms into Golden Cooler. With his enhanced strength, Cooler defeats Goku with a single punch, bringing him back to his senses. Mai then throws Potara Earrings to Goku and Vegeta, allowing them to fuse into Vegito to fight Cumber. The battle reaches a climax as Vegito exhausts his energy during the fight. The fusion breaks, and Goku and Vegeta return to their individual forms, only to witness Cumber transform into a Golden Great Ape. Goku, in Super Saiyan form, tries to fight back but is swiftly overwhelmed and almost crushed. In a desperate move to escape, Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue and uses Kaio-ken X20, but the fight is interrupted by Fu, who reverts Cumber to his normal state to preserve the seal around the Prison Planet. Despite this, Cumber continues attacking, and Goku, now using Super Saiyan God, still struggles to defeat him, nearly losing his life in the process. At this critical moment, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta arrive to save Goku. Vegeta attempts to revive Goku and get everyone out of the situation, but then Goku suddenly awakens into Ultra Instinct. The transformation takes everyone by surprise, especially Xeno Goku, who watches in stunned silence. With his newfound power, Goku effortlessly dominates Cumber. After overpowering him, Goku turns to Xeno Goku, who, knowing his counterpart, instructs everyone to grab hold of him. Xeno Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport them off the planet. Meanwhile, Goku, still in Ultra Instinct, finishes off Cumber with a Kamehameha. Just as he prepares to deal the final blow, Fused Zamasu arrives, steals Cumber’s body, and leaves Goku stranded on the rapidly collapsing Prison Planet. Unversal Conflict Saga
In the anime, without uttering a word, Goku immediately enters his Ultra Instinct Sign state and easily swats Oren—currently possessing Vegeta’s body—away from Future Trunks to protect him. Zamasu and Hearts observe the display of Goku's immense Godly power. Enraged by his defeat, Oren attempts to strike back, but he fails to land a single blow. Goku effortlessly separates Oren from Vegeta with a single punch and subsequently blasts away an approaching Kamin. He then locks eyes with Hearts, prepared for his next opponent. As Goku hovers in front of Hearts, he confirms that he is the person he had been warned about. At the same time, Kamin and Oren attempt to attack together, but Goku easily overwhelms them with his strength and reflexes, knocking both of them down once again. In a desperate move, Kamin and Oren merge into the formidable Kamioren. Goku briefly engages in battle with the merged warrior but is interrupted by the appearance of Lagss. She emerges from a large, pointed shard of glass, which Hearts sends toward Goku. Goku exerts all of his strength to destroy the shard, causing him to revert to his normal form in the process. Lagss then uses the broken pieces to attack Goku, severely injuring him, causing him to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Trunks arrives just in time to save Goku from a fatal blow. Though Goku has already endured considerable damage, he continues to fight alongside Trunks, only to be overpowered again and further wounded. Hearts, continuing to provoke Goku, vows to draw out his true Ultra Instinct power. In response, Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan and charges directly at Hearts, but once again, he is quickly subdued by the Gravity Burst technique. At that moment, Shin teleports in and helps Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta escape the battle. The group arrives in Universe 7, where Piccolo and Android 17 join their efforts to confront the Core Area Warriors. Goku, determined to defeat Hearts, transforms into a Super Saiyan and heads straight for him, but is once again blasted to the ground by Hearts' Gravity Burst. After Hearts powers up further, Goku picks himself up, ready for another round. The battle rages on, and Goku powers up into his Super Saiyan Blue form. Now on equal footing with Hearts, he engages in a fierce battle but is still pushed back by Hearts’ relentless attacks. The two acknowledge that neither is fully utilizing their power. The fight resumes with Goku turning the tide and overwhelming Hearts with a powerful Kamehameha. However, Hearts quickly recovers, taunting Goku before using his Gravity powers to restrain him. When Hearts uses his Gravity Fist technique, Goku finds himself at a disadvantage, and the battle intensifies. Hearts absorbs energy cubes and charges at Goku with enough force to send him crashing to the ground, causing him to lose his Super Saiyan Blue form. Meanwhile, Kamioren undergoes yet another transformation, this time merging with the energy of the Universe Seed. Goku intervenes, stopping one of Kamioren's devastating punches aimed at Vegeta, but is quickly overpowered and trapped. Struggling to break free, Goku instinctively taps into his Ultra Instinct Sign state once again, dodging Kamioren’s punches and energy blasts. Kamioren fires a Mouth Energy Wave at Goku, but Goku stops it in its tracks, sending it back at his opponent. As he brings Kamioren to his knees, another energy wave is fired, but this time, Kamioren catches Goku in its blast. Emerging from the energy wave, Goku enters his mastered Ultra Instinct form, completely dominating the battle. With the rest of the Dragon Team launching an energy barrage at Kamioren, Goku fires a Kamehameha that causes the red bio-gem on Kamioren’s chest to crack. Goku then charges forward, landing a powerful blow to the gem, shattering Kamioren into pieces. Exhausted, Goku reverts to his normal state. As Hearts merges with the Universe Seed, Fused Zamasu appears to defend him. Zamasu effortlessly takes down the entire Dragon Team, leaving them incapacitated. Goku, despite struggling to fight back, tries to regroup. However, he is unable to transform due to the exhaustion from using Ultra Instinct, leaving him at a significant disadvantage. Zamasu soon twists Goku's arm behind his back. At this critical moment, Jiren and Hit arrive to save Goku and the others, but they are pushed back by the powerful pulse from the newly completed Universe Seed. Goku and his team brace for a final showdown with Hearts, who uses a series of green orbs to trap the group in a tight space. With a single blow, Hearts takes down Goku and the others, but Goku is the first to get back on his feet and transforms into Super Saiyan Blue. However, Hearts reveals that he can anticipate Goku’s movements and his heart, sending Goku flying backward once again. After enduring another onslaught, Goku suggests to Vegeta that they fuse, as he is unsure when his Ultra Instinct might return. While their allies buy them time, Goku and Vegeta successfully fuse into Gogeta. Gogeta defeats Hearts, restoring peace to Earth. Curious, Jiren asks why Goku and Vegeta didn’t fuse during the Tournament of Power. Before Gogeta can respond, the fusion wears off, and Goku and Vegeta revert to their original forms. Vegeta answers Jiren’s question, explaining that he never wants to fuse with Goku. Goku laughs off the comment, telling Vegeta that next time, he’ll handle the enemy all by himself. Universe Creation Saga
Goku immediately charges at Beerus, unleashing a series of powerful attacks, but Beerus effortlessly dodges and counters, knocking Goku away with ease. Before the fight can escalate any further, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta arrive and point out the roots of the Universe Tree, which begins to absorb energy. This revelation prompts the appearance of Fu, who explains his plan to use the Universe Tree to create a new universe, but at the cost of erasing the existence of other lifeforms and planets. Beerus, sensing the danger, unleashes his own power to temporarily halt the tree's energy absorption, but he cannot maintain this effort for long. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Goku, Vegeta, and Xeno Trunks set off to locate Fu and prevent his disastrous plan. The group is soon joined by Xeno Pan and Tokitoki, who are able to track Fu to a location. However, before Fu makes his appearance, Turles and Bojack, two former foes who are now aligned with Fu, arrive, seeking revenge for their past defeats. The two immediately turn hostile, and Turles transforms into an Evil Saiyan, using his new powers to challenge Goku. Goku responds by transforming into Super Saiyan Blue to match Turles's new form, but as they clash, Fu appears and strikes from behind, catching both Goku and Vegeta off guard with energy blasts. Turles and Bojack continue their relentless attack, preventing Goku and Vegeta from escaping. The battle continues until Fu commands Dogidogi, a creature under his control, to freeze the heroes in place, allowing Fu to capture Tokitoki and escape through a space-time distortion. The group soon finds themselves trapped in a time distortion, where they encounter Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta once again. However, this time they are confronted by a much more dangerous threat—an empowered Janemba, who appears to be working with Fu. Mistaking Janemba for another of Fu's allies, Goku and Vegeta transform into Super Saiyan Blue to battle him, but Janemba proves to be a formidable opponent. His ability to analyze the fighting styles of alternate counterparts makes him nearly impossible to land a blow on. Despite their combined efforts, Goku and Xeno Goku struggle to defeat Janemba, but finally, they land a punch together, briefly gaining the upper hand before Salsa and Putine intervene. Caught once more in a battle with Janemba, Goku, Vegeta, Xeno Trunks, and Xeno Pan pool their Saiyan power into Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta, granting them the strength to enter the Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker form. In this enhanced state, the two Saiyans manage to defeat Janemba, overpowering him and ending the battle. However, the victory is short-lived as the group is suddenly teleported to the location of the Universe Tree thanks to Putine's magic. When they arrive at the Universe Tree, Fu appears, followed by Towa, who teleports everyone away, leaving only Vegeta, Goku, and Fu behind at the Time Rift. Vegeta attempts to confront Fu, but he is quickly overpowered when Fu uses Cumber's energy to turn him Berserk. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue in an effort to help his friend, but Fu takes control of him as well, turning both Goku and Vegeta into uncontrollable rage-fueled warriors. The two Saiyans attack Fu recklessly, but he easily defends himself before purifying their Evil Auras, returning them to their senses. With the Universe Tree threatening to destroy their universe, Goku realizes that they have little time left. Reaching into his pocket, he retrieves a Potara earring that he had obtained from Salsa and tosses it to Vegeta, initiating their fusion into Vegito. New Space-Time War Saga
Just when it appears that victory is slipping from their grasp, the scene takes a dramatic turn with the sudden arrival of Broly. The mighty Saiyan effortlessly dispatches Frieza, Meta-Cooler, and the Golden Brothers with astonishing ease, leaving them in a heap of defeat. However, Broly's battle doesn't end there as he sets off in pursuit of the mysterious Warrior in Black, while the Crimson-Masked Saiyan exits the scene. Exhausted and bruised, Goku collapses onto the ground, unable to continue the fight. Hearts, seeing Goku's condition, tosses him a Senzu Bean, helping him recover his strength. Grateful for the boost, Goku thanks Hearts as he brings out the Four-Star Dragon Ball. Hearts suggests that if the Senzu Bean still has its healing properties in this strange space-time, then the Dragon Balls should be just as effective. They come to a decision: they must collect all the Dragon Balls and use them to find a way out of this alternate universe. With that in mind, they head to Capsule Corporation, where Goku retrieves the Dragon Radar and begins scanning for Dragon Balls. As the radar hums to life, Goku detects two signals: one belonging to Hearts, and the other coming from somewhere high above them. Without hesitation, Goku and Hearts teleport to Planet Vegeta, where they are immediately confronted by the Crimson-Masked Saiyan. The figure boldly announces that he is Goku's opponent and transforms into Super Saiyan Rosé. Goku, after recognizing the transformation, realizes that this is Goku Black, somehow revived through unknown means. Goku Black arrogantly proclaims that he will prove himself superior to his original counterpart and defeat Goku once and for all. In response, Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue, and the two begin their fierce battle. Hearts also steps into the fray, transforming into Super Hearts, but despite their combined efforts, they are no match for the overwhelming power of Goku Black. Goku Black easily defeats both of them, holding Hearts by the neck and tossing him aside like a ragdoll. However, just when it seems like all hope is lost, Goku makes an unexpected return. He reappears behind Goku Black in his Ultra Instinct Sign state, catching his opponent off guard. The Crimson-Masked Saiyan, surprised by this sudden change in momentum, tries to blast Goku with an energy beam at point-blank range. But the attack does no damage to Goku, who easily avoids every single one of Goku Black's subsequent strikes. Goku seems to have gained the upper hand in this exchange. Taking to the skies, Goku Black launches several powerful energy blasts in an attempt to destroy Planet Vegeta. Goku tries to escape using Instant Transmission, but his ability to sense ki is blocked, preventing him from teleporting away. Just as the planet nears its destruction, Cell appears unexpectedly and teleports everyone to safety at the last moment. Goku, astonished, asks Cell how he managed to return. Cell merely responds cryptically, saying that it’s no different from how Hearts was able to return. Vegeta, still skeptical, asks why Cell decided to save them, and Cell urges the group to be patient, implying that there is more to his actions than meets the eye. At that moment, two mysterious figures appear behind them, and Goku and Vegeta are left stunned as they realize their identities. Goku and the rest of the group, now joined by Gohan’s team, take refuge in a nearby cavern. Not long after, Shroom, Salsa, and Putine appear, explaining that Cell is now aiding them in taking down the Crimson-Masked Saiyan. With such a powerful enemy looming over them and Goku still struggling to master Ultra Instinct, Shroom and the other demons open a door to a special room resembling the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Inside this room, Goku and Vegeta must face illusions of past enemies, testing their limits in order to prepare for the final battle. They undergo intense training, emerging from the room stronger and more determined than ever. The two Saiyans then head to West City to confront the newly powered-up Super Saiyan Rosé 3 Crimson-Masked Saiyan. Together, Goku and Vegeta manage to overpower their foe, landing a decisive blow that sends Goku Black crashing into a nearby building. However, their victory is short-lived, as Goku's Ultra Instinct state begins to fade. The Crimson-Masked Saiyan, now in his Full Power Super Saiyan Rosé form, quickly retaliates, and Goku and Vegeta find themselves unable to match his overwhelming strength. With no other options, they decide to fuse once again, creating the powerful warrior Gogeta. Together, Gogeta faces off against the formidable opponent and ultimately defeats him, but the fusion is brief, and they defuse soon after. The Warrior in Black reappears, now holding the complete set of Dragon Balls. With their power, he uses them to send everyone back to their original dimension, escaping the confines of the Pseudo Universe. Goku suddenly finds himself back in the Crack of Time, where a younger version of Fu appears, now having absorbed Dogidogi. When Vegeta arrives, the two fuse into Gogeta once again and fight alongside Xeno Gogeta. However, the two Gogetas are quickly overpowered, and the fusion is undone. Fu, realizing the threat that fusion poses, casts the Vegetas into a dark vortex to prevent them from merging again. Just as things seem dire, Goku and Xeno Goku are aided by Chronoa, who appears just in time. She heals their injuries and instructs them to combine their powers. The two Saiyans merge their ki and unleash a combined Kamehameha, breaking through Fu’s defenses. Despite the overwhelming power of the attack, Fu manages to block it, but Xeno Goku acknowledges that even with such a mighty assault, they are still no match for Fu's full strength. Fu begins to absorb energy from the Universe Tree, growing exponentially stronger. He draws power not only from the Tree but from the very fabric of the universe itself. When Fu attempts to attack Chronoa, Goku grabs one of his tendrils and rips it from his body. The energy released by the tendril initially overwhelms Goku, but he quickly masters it, using the power of the Universe Tree to gain a new transformation—Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Universe Tree Power). With this newfound strength, Goku engages Fu in an epic battle, culminating in a dramatic beam struggle. In the end, Goku manages to finish Fu off with a final Kamehameha, overcoming the Dark King. Fu, in disbelief that the universe holds such untapped potential, mutters his last words, smiling as he is defeated. After Fu's defeat, Goku is sent back to his original universe, with Tokitoki using his powers to restore Universe 7 to its rightful state. Supreme Kai of Time Saga
Upon arrival, Goku is reunited with several familiar faces: his son Gohan, his longtime friend Piccolo, his rival Vegeta, and other formidable warriors including Hit, Jiren, and even Yamcha. The excitement builds as everyone gathers together in anticipation of the battles to come. Soon after, the Mysterious Guide reappears to explain the rules of the tournament, which are quickly understood by all the participants. Once the rules are set, everyone is teleported to the battlefield, where the tournament is set to take place. As Goku enters the arena, he soon encounters his alternate counterpart from another timeline, Xeno Goku. The two warriors greet each other with a shared enthusiasm for the prospect of fighting one another once again. However, Xeno Goku hints at having an additional goal in mind beyond simply fighting, mentioning a connection with Aeos, the host of the tournament. Before he can elaborate on his intentions, the two Gokus are unexpectedly ambushed by another team of competitors. The battle is fierce, but both Gokus work together, quickly overcoming their assailants. Afterward, their attention returns to one another, as the idea of facing off once more is too exciting to resist. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue, while Xeno Goku shifts into Super Saiyan 4. The two begin their intense rematch, each eager to test their abilities against the other. However, their fight is soon interrupted when members of their respective teams discover Time Fairies, magical beings that signal their progression to the next round. The two are teleported back to the main hall, ending their battle prematurely but leaving them excited for what’s to come. For the second round of the tournament, Goku is sent to a stylized version of Planet Vegeta, where he teams up with Jiren. They face off against an opponent they recognize all too well—the Super Saiyan 3 Warrior in Black. This new foe, who radiates dark energy, transforms into Ultra Instinct Sign, mirroring Goku’s own transformation. Goku, sensing the unique nature of his opponent, asks for the chance to fight him alone, believing that, as a fellow Saiyan, this battle will be different. Before the fight can escalate, the Warrior in Black reveals that he knows Goku’s true Saiyan name, but refuses to clarify how he is aware of this knowledge. The battle between Goku and the Warrior in Black is intense, with Goku managing to hold his own despite the immense power of his opponent. After a fierce beam struggle, Goku is ultimately able to overpower him and emerge victorious, sending the Warrior in Black reeling. After his victory, Goku makes his way to the Time Nest, where he finds Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, seemingly defeated by Aeos, who has unleashed her full power in the battle. Goku looks at Aeos, thanking her for hosting the tournament but asking that she refrain from erasing any timelines, as there are still living beings within them. Aeos, however, dismisses his plea and attempts to use her powers to freeze him in place. In response, Goku swiftly teleports behind her, transforming into his Ultra Instinct Sign form to gain the upper hand. The two engage in a brutal battle, with Aeos using her incredible powers to try and subdue Goku. However, Goku, ever resourceful, uses Instant Transmission to appear in front of her at close range and unleashes a devastating Kamehameha. The blast strikes Aeos at point-blank range, but she remains unfazed, acknowledging the true danger that Goku represents. With determination in her eyes, Aeos vows to eliminate him, setting the stage for an even more intense confrontation. |

Super Saiyan God: The "Super Saiyan God" is the legend among legends of the warrior race, the Saiyans. The power of six good-hearted Saiyans must be infused for one of them to achieve this legendary form. As Shenron explains to the Dragon Team and company, a Super Saiyan God once appeared on Planet Vegeta to stop the evil Saiyans but he failed because of the form's time limit. The Namekians were aware of the Super Saiyan God and wrote of the method to achieve the form in their book of legends. When in this form, the Saiyan's general appearance has only slight differences: the most notable change is the slight pink skin tone (similar to the usage of Fury) and hair that is a shade of red. In this form, Goku possesses magenta-red hair while Vegeta possesses crimson red hair. The hair retains its natural style but becomes more refined (losing any stray hairs). The Saiyan's eyes become more detailed, and the irises become red (appearing as more relaxed even in battle until sufficiently angered). The overall body structure appears to become younger and thinner in frame and build, though this is not the case for the Future Warrior and Shallot, as their musculature stays the same in their Super Saiyan God forms. The aura of the Super Saiyan God resembles a raging fire. At the time of its debut, Super Saiyan God was "a being that surpasses everything". The power of this form is great enough to allow Goku to compete against the non-fully powered God of Destruction Beerus, who effortlessly defeated Super Saiyan 3 Goku, later the combined effort of Potential Unleashed Gohan (Potential Unleashed Super Saiyan Gohan in the original movie), Good Buu, Piccolo, Android 18, Tien Shinhan, and Gotenks (Super Saiyan in the movie, Super Saiyan 3 in the manga, and base form in the anime), and even a one-on-one assault from a enraged Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta.
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 immediately go all out from the start unless he fully needs to and will usually start with warm ups.
Weaknesses
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[194], with blasts capable of[195] seriously damaging/destroying[196] the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent[197], 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[198] . 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[199]. Goku's kamehameha was going to destroy the earth and Cell cannot tank this blast, needing to regenerate[200]. Semi-Perfect Cell explosion was consistently noted it was going to destroy the planet and Gohan and it killed Goku[201]. Ultimate Gohan dies to an attack that destroys the earth, his guard was up too since this was when he was fighting Super Buu[202]. 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[203]. 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[204]. Frieza destroyed the entire earth, killing Vegeta in the process[205]. 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[206]. 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[207].
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:
None.
None.
None.
