“	No, see, I don't think like I'm saving the world. The fact is, I go into every conflict for the battle, what's on my mind is beating down the strongest to get stronger. That's how this tournament happened, too. That seems to be a recurring mistake on my part. Maybe that's the Saiyan in me, too stubborn to stand down in the face of that prospect. But I can't bear the thought of the blood of everyone back home being on my hands because I couldn't resist this. This is for them, now. Would you help me?	„

Background

Son Goku is the main protagonist of Dragon Ball. Born on Planet Vegeta, he is sent to Earth for protection from the impending destruction of his home planet. After being found by an old martial artist named Son Gohan, he is trained in martial arts himself. Throughout the years, he has defended the Earth and his universe from countless threats.

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

Four years after the defeat of Kid Buu, Goku is working as a farmer in order to gain money on Chi-Chi's demand. Sometime later, while plowing the field, Goten appears with lunch for Goku and Goku tells Goten to work the tractor while he eats. After he finishes eating, Goku starts training in Super Saiyan. While training in the manga, he imagines fighting Frieza, Cell, and Kid Buu. However, Goku's training distracts Goten, causing Goten to fall off the mountainside. Goku uses Instant Transmission to save the tractor and Goten and explains that he needs to watch what he's doing so that he can train in case a stronger foe than Kid Buu appears. Eventually a new foe comes in the form of Lord Beerus a God of Destruction with power far beyond what Goku or Vegeta could imagine. After the battles of the Z Fighters and Beerus, Beerus decides that he should destroy planet Earth. Goku intervenes Beerus before does so and asks for time to summon the Super Saiyan God. Beerus allows this and Goku summons Shenron asks him if he knows of the Super Saiyan God. He tells them how to create one, proceeding to speak the procedures required to make one before disappearing. Goku along with Vegeta, Goten, Trunks and Gohan attempt to channel their powers over to Goku, but they only succeed in increasing his power. Whis notes that they need six righteous Saiyan and Videl soon steps up, announcing her pregnancy. They then attempt the ritual once more, this time with Videl. With six righteous Saiyans' powers combined, the ritual was reattempted. After a lengthy procedure, he has finally become, a Super Saiyan God. Goku and Beerus continue fighting as they go toward Earth. Goku is struggling to keep up with Beerus even though he has the god power. As Beerus is holding his hand out, Goku charges him and punches his hand, leading them to the stratosphere again. Goku starts to fade out of his Super Saiyan form and Beerus flicks Goku, as an end to their battle. Goku, however, as he is falling towards Earth, doesn't take this as a loss and thinks of his family and friends, fueling him to continuing showing off his power. Goku creates a fully-powered Kamehameha and Beerus throws an atom-like blast. The collision of these two creates a Sphere of Destruction. Goku is struggling to counter Beerus, leading him to punch the energy sphere and destroy the blast. As a result, Goku falls toward Earth and Vegeta catches him. Goku tries to convince Beerus not to destroy the Earth. As Beerus is ready to destroy the Earth, he fires a ki blast at Bulma's ship but misses because he falls asleep. Whis takes off with Beerus but before he does, he thanks Goku for entertaining Beerus. Goku has a big meal and hears the news of Gohan becoming a father. Goten asks him how it felt becoming a god, Goku responds that he didn't actually become a god and that he doesn't like it. Goku tells Vegeta that he'll become the next Super Saiyan God, but Vegeta tells him that he'll surpass him, Beerus, and Super Saiyan God. Goku mocks Vegeta for the "My Bulmaaa" situation and Piccolo points out that Goku had been watching the fights because he teleported to Earth. Goku says that he couldn't think of anything.
