Background

Son Goku is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball series. A Saiyan, sent to Earth as a baby with the mission to destroy it, Goku became a kind-hearted boy after he bumped his head and was adopted by Grandpa Gohan. After defeating Kid Buu, Goku works as a radish farmer before learning of the existence of the phenomenally powerful God of Destruction Beerus and seeks to fight and surpass him. In the process, he is introduced to the universes that exist beyond his own, and the amazing warriors that they contain.

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

Battle of Gods Saga Some time 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. Later that day, when Mr. Satan arrives to offer Goku 100 million zeni, as a way to say thank you for helping him defeat Buu. Goku initially declines, not understanding how large a sum 100 million zeni actually is and tells him to give it to Vegeta but Mr. Satan says that the Briefs are richer than he is. Goten reminds Goku that if he gave Chi-Chi all of the money, he could go train with King Kai. At Mr. Satan and Goten's recommendation, Goku accepts the offer, and after talking with Chi-Chi, transports to King Kai's Planet to start his training. When Goku arrives at King Kai's planet, he causes King Kai to crash into his house. After the crash, King Kai makes Goku food and starts rebuilding his house. While King Kai wasn't enjoying rebuilding his house, Goku was explaining to King Kai that he is there to train in ten times the gravity of Earth. King Kai says to Goku that he is an important figure and the most important of all Kais, but Goku sees King Kai as a friend. Goku changes clothes to a blue and white tracksuit and starts his training. While training, Goku hears his name in a conversation between King Kai, Old Kai, and Kibito Kai to keep Goku away from the God of Destruction Beerus. To distract Goku from the conversation, King Kai brings up how he is responsible for his death. After being successfully distracted, Goku continues his training. Goku remembers that he is missing Bulma's birthday party and gets scared of what she might do. Goku starts to notice that King Kai was acting strange and wonders why but King Kai keeps it to himself. Goku, who having stayed hidden in King Kai's house, is still noticed when Beerus needed to speak with him. Beerus asked Goku if he has heard of Super Saiyan God, but Goku denies. Beerus is disappointed and asks him if he was the one who defeated Frieza and Goku claims that he did so as a Super Saiyan. Goku's power is examined by Beerus and he says that he's couldn't have beaten him unless he transformed. Goku is curious about Beerus's power and asks to have a battle with him which Beerus accepts. Goku immediately transforms into Super Saiyan and charges Beerus but he shows no effort towards Goku. Goku quickly bores Beerus, making him want to leave. Goku turns Super Saiyan 2 which surprises Beerus that Goku managed to surpass his limits. They both continue to fight but Beerus constantly dodged Goku's punches and kicks. Goku wanted to pause the battle for a moment to ask Beerus if he could fight back instead of dodging. Beerus agrees and says that he will attack back if Goku managed to show more of his power. Even after agreeing, Beerus dodges his attacks. Goku continues to throw punches, putting holes through King Kai's planet. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 3 and charges with full force, managing to get punches on Beerus. A Kamehameha wave was shot towards Beerus but was blocked by his finger. Goku began to feel intimidated by Beerus and attacks him once again. He notices his hits aren't landing and that Beerus let him get hits on him. A final Kamehameha misses Beerus and goes through King Kai's planet. Beerus has enough and promptly defeats Goku with ease before taking off for Earth. With Goku lying on the ground in agony, he remarks about the comments Beerus made about the Super Saiyan God. He still wants to fight Beerus and suggests fusion with Vegeta but still doesn't think that is enough. Goku is given a Senzu Bean by King Kai and recovers. Goku wants to go to Bulma's birthday party but King Kai, Gregory, and Bubbles won't let him, so Goku decides to wait it out on King Kai's planet. 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. Super Saiyan God Goku battles Beerus, tearing across the ocean and into the city. The fight is near even, though Beerus has an edge. The two clash fists, causing shockwaves that threaten the stability of the universe. Goku follows Beerus into the stratosphere, with Beerus noting that this is far as Goku goes as his power had started to fade, Beerus fires his Sphere of Destruction at Goku to finish him, however Goku reveals that the Super Saiyan God's power is telling him to go even further and destroys the Sphere of Destruction with a Limitbreaker Kamehameha. Beerus declares that he will not destroy Earth and informs Goku of the other universes as well as the fact that Whis is stronger than him, before leaving. However immediately after, Beerus suddenly returns to Goku to tell him that he's the second strongest fighter he's ever fought. Resurrection F Saga The Resurrection F Saga is pretty much skipped in the manga and only briefly explained in a blurb. Universe 6 Saga Sometime later, Goku is sparring with Vegeta on Beerus' planet which is being supervised by Whis. Goku and Vegeta fight on even terms until Vegeta gets angry and goes Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and hits Goku with a ki blast. Goku reminds Vegeta that the form was supposed to be off-limits and proceeds to use the form himself. While they bicker, Goku bites his tongue saying Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan repeatedly. Goku asks for a new name and Whis suggests "Super Saiyan Blue". Whis then punishes Goku and Vegeta for transforming by making them put on heavy spacesuits. Champa and Vados suddenly arrive on Beerus' planet. Goku notices that they both look like Beerus and Whis and is told by Vados that she is Whis' sister and Beerus and Champa are twins. When Beerus arrives, Goku is told that Universe 6 has their own Earth and the Earthlings were wiped out by war. Champa challenges Beerus to a five on five Tournament of Destroyers for the Universe 7's Earth, which makes Goku excited. After Whis explains why Beerus and Champa don't fight each other, they discuss the details for the tournament. The rules will be the same as the Tenkaichi Budokai and will be in five Earth days on the Nameless Planet at 10 a.m. Goku and Vegeta join Beerus' team off the bat. They also select Piccolo, Buu, and Beerus wants the strongest fighter he's ever faced, who's not Whis. Vegeta suggests Gohan to fight because he has the highest potential, but Goku says he's focused on studying. Goku and Vegeta go back to Earth to get Bulma to invent a new Dragon Radar to locate the last Super Dragon Ball. Goku tests out Bulma's new Super Dragon Radar but it doesn't work as they are on the edge of the universe. Bulma contacts her sister, Tights, to get Jaco to go to Earth. Goku asks Vegeta if he wants to train in the Time Chamber, but Vegeta says that they're close to their limits. Goku says he will train alone and become stronger quicker, which leads to Vegeta wanting to train with him also and they could go all-out because they're two of them. Goku asks Piccolo to train with him, but he declines. While training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku wonders if the warriors from Universe 6 will be strong to which Vegeta tells him that they will be. Goku is excited to see them and even the fighter Beerus has been speaking of. Vegeta wants Goku to act his age but not knowing what he meant, Goku responds saying that Saiyans stay young until they reach the age of 80. Vegeta was, however, taking about his mentality. Goku and Vegeta turn into Super Saiyan Blue so they both could go all. They train for three years in the room (three days in the outside world). On the day of the tournament, Goku and Vegeta finish their training and emerge with beards. As Whis picks everyone up in his cube, Goku asks Videl where Gohan is, she says that he's in an important conference. Goku greets Monaka and questions his name, which means nipples. Later, everyone is playing Shiritori. When Whis says the phrase, "Juri-Juri", Goku questions a "Juri-Juri" so Whis responds saying that it's a bird from his planet. On the Nameless Planet, Goku is amazed after seeing the size of the Super Dragon Balls. Upon landing, he notices Shin and Kibito and wonders why they're separate. While Shin is explaining the situation, Goku greets the Universe 6 Supreme Kai and his attendant before heading off to start an exam. When walking towards the stage, Goku recognizes a familiar face to which Vegeta exclaims is "Frieza" though it is not and also notices Magetta, wondering if he's a "Human". As Goku is about to take his seat to take the exam, he sees Cabba. Goku and Vegeta are recognized by Cabba to be a Saiyan and he also reveals that he's a Saiyan, which surprises them. Goku asks Cabba where his tail is, to which Cabba explains their race had tails long ago but lost them due to evolving. Goku takes the exam and barely passes with a fifty percent however, their team is short a member because Buu failed his. Goku blames Vegeta for requesting such a thing. Goku takes the first match against Botamo. When the match begins Goku is immediately rushed by Botamo. Goku is struggling to dodge his attacks and eventually gets hit. Beerus is wondering what Goku is doing but Goku says he's just trying to exercise his meal off. Goku begins running in the ring while Botamo is trying to attack him but fails to connect. Botamo eventually is worn out, so Goku takes advantage of this as he is done exercising his meal. Goku attacks Botamo but no one can see him move because he's moving at an immense speed. Goku begins to take control by attacking Botamo but he isn't taking any damage even after firing a Kamehameha at him. Goku thinks of an idea to beat Botamo and pushes him down and drags him to the edge of the ring. As Botamo tries to punch Goku, he grabs his arm and throws him out of the ring, resulting in a ring out. Goku looks over at Hit, who is not paying attention to the fight. Goku's next challenger is Frost, and they shake hands before the match. As the Referee commences the match, Frost charges Goku and they both attack and block each other in rapid succession. Goku uppercuts Frost in the gut and kicks him to the floor. Goku assumes that Frost is trying to test his power though Frost denies it. Goku is eager to see Frost transform into his final form but Frost wonders how he knew he could transform. Goku tells Frost that he fought someone similar before and that he should transform so he wont't be defeated without using his true power. Frosts then transforms into his "final form". Goku is surprised at Frost's transformation and says he hasn't seen that form previously. Frost asks if his counterpart defeated Goku though he chooses not to say so Frost assumes that he didn't. Goku and Frost battle it out again until Frost fires a finger blast at Goku which sends him crashing to the ground. Goku immediately hops up, not taking serious damage. Goku still thinks Frost is hiding another transformation, so he transforms into Super Saiyan. As Goku charges towards Frost, Frost transforms into his true final form. As a Super Saiyan, Goku completely outclassed Frost, with him unable to land a major blow. However, Frost catches him with a glancing blow which instantly renders Goku dizzy and unable to fight, leading Frost to kick Goku out of the ring and win the match. Chi-Chi hurries to check on him. Goku admits his loss who suddenly congratulates Goku and raises his hand. He explains to Beerus that he thought Super Saiyan was enough for Frost and didn't think he needed to push him any further. Before Piccolo starts his match with Frost, Goku bluntly tells Piccolo that he's no match for Frost, but he can damage him a little for Vegeta. After Frost is revealed to have cheated, Beerus locates a wound on Goku's hand from Frost's poison needle and is allowed to compete again. However, Beerus insists that Monaka will go last and Goku will go after Vegeta. After Vegeta loses to Hit, Goku, after figuring out Hit's abilities, enters the ring to fight Hit himself. After throwing himself at Hit a few times Goku manages to block one of Hit's moves, to which Hit thought was a fluke and attacked again with his Time Skip and this time Goku draws blood from Hit and begins to go on the attack, countering Hit's time skipping ability by predicting where he is going to be, much to the annoyance of Vegeta. Hit, realizing his Time-Skip is useless is forced to fight seriously and Goku goes Super Saiyan Blue, and attacks Hit, forcing him to power up. Goku is able to counter some of Hit's attacks while in his base form. Hit repeatedly scolds Goku for revealing his strategy. Goku is able to fight evenly with Hit in Super Saiyan, but it becomes clear that he is expending stamina while Hit is not. When Goku enters Super Saiyan God, Hit's Time Skip becomes ineffective as the gap in their power becomes greater. Hit responds by going to full power, claiming he'll only need one minute and one Time Skip usage to win. Goku uses Super Saiyan Blue, and its full power allows him to break through Hit's Time Skip and lands a kick followed by a massive Kamehameha that Hit dodges. He then surrenders as he does in the anime. When Zeno appears and mentions that he would be interested in organizing another tournament, Goku casually tells him it would be fun, as Champa and Beerus are flustered. Goku and Zeno talk and Zeno praises Goku for his match with Hit. Goku extends his hand out to Zeno, causing both Gods of Destruction to worry. Zeno shakes his hand and calls Goku funny. Zeno then leaves, with Beerus and Champa sighing in relief, telling Goku that he could destroy all of the universes if he wished. Goku approaches Hit, wanting to have a rematch against him at a later time. After Beerus uses the Super Dragon Balls to make his wish, the group arrive on Beerus' planet, Goku asks Beerus for a short sparring match with Monaka, but Beerus refuses, saying that as they are both tired from the tournament, they should go home and rest. Whis then drops off the Z-Fighters back on Earth. Future Trunks Saga Goku, Vegeta, and Whis are already on Earth when Future Trunks appears. Future Trunks explains what happened in the future, and Goku and Vegeta are shocked to hear about Goku Black, a cruel and merciless version of Goku, responsible for the near eradication of humans in Future Trunks' timeline. Goku asks Future Trunks to spar with him to see where he stands against Black. They both start off as Super Saiyan 2. Impressed by Future Trunks' strength, Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan 3. Future Trunks is able to keep up with Super Saiyan 3 and Goku has to briefly tap into Super Saiyan God to put him down. The group waits for the Time Machine to be refuelled and pass the time by playing a racing video game. Goku is summoned to Zeno's Palace and upon arrival, Goku, Whis and Shin are greeted by the Grand Minister. He escorts them to Zeno's throne room where Zeno is elated to see Goku. Zeno reveals that his reason for summoning Goku is that he's looking for a friend to play with. Goku agrees to be his friend but says he has business to attend to first. He promises to bring Zeno a new friend when he returns. Zeno gives Goku a button that will summon him or teleport Goku to him whenever it is pressed. Goku then returns home. Upon arriving in the future, Future Trunks feeds the injured Future Mai a Senzu Bean by mouth, leading Goku to admit that he's never kissed anybody, to the shock of Vegeta. Goku watches Vegeta gains an advantage over Black in battle. When Future Zamasu appears, Goku overpowers him with Super Saiyan Blue. After impaling his chest with a lamppost, Goku reverts to Super Saiyan but is shocked when Future Zamasu heals. He then reveals that he wished himself to be immortal and gains an advantage over Goku using his telekinetic powers, so Future Trunks creates a diversion with a Solar Flare, and they hide in a sewer, where Goku comes up with the idea to learn and use the Evil Containment Wave on Future Zamasu. Goku and Vegeta then escape in the Time Machine leaving Trunks in a dangerous position. Upon arriving back in the future, Goku feels Future Trunks' ki fading. They find Goku Black and Future Zamasu beating up Future Trunks and Shin and Goku teleports them to Future Mai, who is transporting the injured Gowasu away. While Vegeta heads off to battle Goku Black, Future Zamasu confronts Goku and once again reiterates that he's immortal and cannot be defeated, but Goku goes Super Saiyan Blue and uses the Evil Containment Wave to send him into a jar. However, Goku is not able to keep him in there due to the talisman needed to seal the jar being missing. Zamasu emerges in shock and vows to obliterate everyone. Goku enters into his Super Saiyan God form instead to save on his energy. Outmatched Zamasu uses the Potara to fuse with Goku Black and combine into Fused Zamasu. Fused Zamasu hits Goku and Vegeta with fast strikes to the gut. They collapse to the ground, reverting to base from their Super Saiyan God forms. Goku goes Super Saiyan Blue, and attacks Fused Zamasu, who deflects all of his strikes. Goku fires a God Kamehameha which pierces Fused Zamasu's chest, but he heals the wound due to his immortality. After continuing to overwhelm Goku and Vegeta, Shin gives Goku his Potara, suggesting they fuse into Vegito. Vegeta refuses and Goku heads back into the fight though continues to be overwhelmed. After hearing that the Potara fusion only lasts an hour, Vegeta asks for the earrings. Goku and Vegeta fuse into Vegito, but the fight is cut short by Vegito's sudden defusal, leaving Goku and Vegeta on the ground being barraged with blocks of Katchin. Gowasu suggests that as mortals, Goku and Vegeta's fusion was too strong to sustain. Fused Zamasu begins attacking Goku and Vegeta interrupts the assault, throwing Goku towards Future Trunks. Goku is healed by Future Trunks, who just found out he has the healing ability due to having apprenticed under Future Shin. As he could only fully heal one person, Vegeta had him heal Goku as during the fusion he sensed that Goku had mastered Super Saiyan Blue. Goku teleports to the battlefield and Shin teleports Vegeta away and Round 2 between Goku and Fused Zamasu begins as Goku powers up to Perfected Super Saiyan Blue and faces Fused Zamasu in combat. The two fight on even grounds but eventually realizing he can't hold onto the Perfected form much longer, charges up one final attack and dashes toward to unleash Hakai. Fused Zamasu begins to disintegrate but saves himself by grabbing Future Mai through a portal and holding her in front of him, distracting Goku and allowing Fused Zamasu to land a kick that interrupts the Hakai and knocks Goku out. After Future Trunks seemingly kills Goku Black and Zamasu, Goku goes to congratulate him when Trunks is hit in the back by a ki blast from Black. Future Zamasu and Black then stand up and to everyone's horror, both transform into a separate Fused Zamasu. The Zamasus begin beating on Goku until Vegeta blasts both them with Gamma Burst Flash. The attack obliterates both Zamasus into pieces however each of the pieces suddenly turn into another Zamasu. Shin teleports Goku and Vegeta to the Time Machine where they attempt to escape but are interrupted by hundreds of Zamasus. Goku and Vegeta prepare to go down fighting before Goku realizes he has the button Zeno gave him, which he uses to summon Future Zeno. Future Zeno is disgusted by the state of the world he is brought into and decides to erase it as everyone barely escapes in the Time Machine and Infinite Zamasu and the future timeline are permanently erased. Goku returns with Future Trunks to the extinct future and takes Future Zeno to the past where he takes him to his present counterpart's palace, fulfilling his promise to bring Zeno a friend. The day after, Goku and company bid farewell to Future Trunks and Future Mai as they prepare for a new life in a new timeline created by Whis' alterations (in the anime) or Future Trunks' planned alteration (in the manga), with Goku believing Future Trunks is strong enough to defeat any opponent. Universe Survival Saga Peace having returned, Goku begins farming again, and takes his latest harvest to a trader. While driving away from the farmer's market in a Capsule Corp. truck, Goku spots a man whose truck is stuck in the road. Goku agrees to help but finds himself held at gunpoint by the man and his two companions who demand the truck. Goku refuses and renders all but one robber unconscious. The last robber fires a bullet at Goku, which scratches him. After knocking out the last robber, Goku looks at his scratch and comes to the conclusion that he is getting rusty. Goku brings the criminals to the police station, where the sheriff pays him a large reward. After finding Vegeta, Goku asks him to come along with him but he rejects since Bulma is going to give birth soon. Once Whis arrives, he takes Goku to Beerus' Planet to train. Looking to fight stronger opponents once more, Goku asks Beerus about the tournament that Zeno was planning. He asks Zeno about the tournament and Future Zeno becomes excited by the idea of it, so the Grand Minister tells Goku that he will inform him of the details when they become available. Goku returns to Beerus' planet and tells Beerus what happened. The Grand Minister announces the Tournament of Power, and Future Zeno is confused as he's never seen a fight before. The Grand Minister then decides to hold a Zeno Expo match featuring all of the Gods of Destruction. Goku watches as Beerus seems to effortlessly evade attacks for a moment, and Whis says his body is capable of doing it on its own. After the Grand Minister ends the match, Goku overhears Future Zeno talking about cancelling the tournament and insists he can put on a more exciting fight for them. The Grand Minister chooses Top as his opponent. He starts the fight off in Super Saiyan and is unable to land any attacks as Top tells him to take things seriously. Future Zeno wishes to see all of Goku's forms, and he obliges by going Super Saiyan 2 and quickly following up with Super Saiyan 3. Top continues to hold his advantage, so Goku goes up to Super Saiyan God and the two begin to fight more evenly. At Beerus' request, he goes Super Saiyan Blue and looks to end the fight, but Top ducks his punch and lands a massive kick to the gut, knocking Goku out of the ring and winning the match. After Grand Minister announces the rules for the Tournament, he sends everyone back to their respective universe to build their teams. Back on the Sacred World of the Kai, Beerus berates Goku despite Goku technically giving Universe 7 a chance to survive rather than endangering it as Shin points out. Goku and company then head to Capsule Corp. to begin recruiting their team. Goku neglects to recruit Gohan, saying he doesn't like to fight. Goku visits Krillin and Android 18 and is able to recruit them after some convincing. Dende gives Goku a ride to Android 17's island, where he realizes he doesn't even know what 17 looks like, but soon finds him regardless. 17 initially mistakes him for a poacher due to Goku wearing a poacher's mask. They fight, with Goku turning Super Saiyan 2 and then Super Saiyan 3 before 17 realizes who he is and stops attacking. At night, Goku convinces him to take part in the tournament by telling him Krillin will be there as 17 feels he owes a debt to Krillin. Whis contacts Goku, who informs him that Buu is asleep so unable to fight. He visits Piccolo, who says he's going to train Gohan then visits and recruits Tien Shinhan before returning to Capsule Corp, where he decides to recruit Frieza. He attempts to negotiate with Frieza but things get violent, and they arrive at Capsule Corp. looking worse for wear, with Goku admitting Frieza has managed to get stronger while dead. He also admits that he promised to resurrect Frieza should Universe 7 win, much to everyone's horror. Team Universe 7 then departs for the Tournament of Power. Goku speaks with with Hit, with Hit warning Goku that he's gotten stronger. At the start of the match, Goku goes straight after Jiren but the Pride Troopers gang up on him. Goku fights them off while Jiren leaves the area. After Krillin and Tien Shinhan are eliminated by Frost, he goes after Master Roshi. Goku interferes on Roshi's behalf, but Roshi says he can handle himself and tells Goku to focus on Jiren. Goku clashes with Top and Dyspo in Super Saiyan. Top warns Dyspo that Goku has more transformations left, shocking his fellow Pride Trooper. As Top pins him to the ground, Goku realizes Hit is in danger of being eliminated by Jiren and powers up to Perfected Super Saiyan Blue, breaking out of Top's hold and rushing to his friend's aid. He charges Jiren, who is able to knock Goku back with a single Kiai. Hit says his Time Skip didn't work against Jiren and they prepare to fight him together. Jiren blocks their attacks while standing in place, even taking no damage from a Kamehameha. Jiren pushes Goku to the edge of the arena and prepares to eliminate him, refusing to acknowledge his name but Hit intercepts, landing a kick on Jiren. Hit considers his debt to Goku from the Tournament of Destroyers repaid, and Goku compliments Hit on improving his strength. As they continue fighting, Jiren proves to be a brick wall, Hit prepares to use a new technique he developed to beat Goku. Hit says that they'll need to work together but Goku reverts to his base form and declines, wanting to beat Jiren alone. He then watches as Hit is overpowered and eliminated by Jiren. Goku prepares to fight Jiren again, as the latter finally acknowledges Goku's name. Goku's fight with Jiren resumes, taking to his Perfected Super Saiyan Blue form. Meanwhile, the rest of Team Universe 7 come under assault from a variety of fighters. As 17 takes care of Damom, Goku comments on how much of an asset he has been. Goku briefly joins Gohan and Roshi in a fight against three Pride Troopers, until Gohan points out that Frieza is in trouble against Super Saiyan Kale. Goku teleports to Frieza and powers up to Perfected Super Saiyan Blue. Despite Frieza's protests, he challenges Kale, gaining an early advantage but noting that Kale's power is increasing steadily. Frieza angrily kicks Goku out of the way, claiming that he can handle Kale himself. The two bicker until Kale powers up to a berserk state and goes on a rampage until she is fused with Caulifla to become Kefla. Gohan intercepts Kefla's attack on Goku and Jiren and says he'll deal with her while Goku resumes his battle against Jiren. Goku goes for a combination attack on Jiren, which Jiren easily blocked and countered with a devastating gut punch, chastising the Saiyan for his repetitive offence. Knowing he still has a wall to overcome, Goku stresses his body to its limits, drawing from his reserves and uses the Kaio-ken. He lands some heavier blows on Jiren, but the boost proves negligible as Jiren points out that Goku made the same mistake Kale did, trying to wield power gained by destroying the body. Seeing his old student on the ropes, Master Roshi tells Goku that he needs to conquer his own spirit rather than continuing to work on strength. Goku thinks back to the words of all of his past masters, who taught him not to waste movement, to be tranquil and quick, to train his spirit, and to allow his body to act on its own. Roshi teaches Goku a final lesson on "how to move well" as he charges Jiren and manages to dodge a flurry of his strikes with graceful movements which Whis say resemble Ultra Instinct. Roshi is swiftly eliminated by Jiren and Goku praises his old master's teaching ability, declaring himself Son Goku of the Turtle School as he enters the Ultra Instinct Sign state for the first time and dodges the incoming Jiren's attack. He prepares to fight Jiren in the new form but snaps out of it before the fight begins and takes a heavy punch to the face. Vegeta, having reached the Super Saiyan God SS Evolved state battles against Jiren but he makes short work of him. After Goku teleports Vegeta to a safe hiding spot, Frieza and Android 17 buy time for Goku and Vegeta to recover, with 17 seemingly blowing himself up in a vain attempt to defeat Jiren. Jiren approaches the battered Saiyans and Goku taps into Ultra Instinct Sign once again. Jiren powers up, casting an aura for the first time in the tournament. Jiren pours on the offense against Goku, who is able to avoid substantial damage. The remarkably calm Goku tells Jiren that he's gotten rid of unnecessary emotions and that his heart is calm. Closing his eyes, he awakens the true state of Ultra Instinct, landing a powerful punch to Jiren's body. Goku gets the better of Jiren, dodging an enormous ki wave and connecting with a point-blank Kamehameha that pushes Jiren through the arena floor, with him just managing to pull himself up. Enraged, Jiren triggers his full power before attacking Goku, who is still able to control the fight. Jiren's increased power forces Goku to work harder, causing immense stamina drain. Ultimately, Jiren outlasts Goku's Ultra Instinct, and Vegeta narrowly saves Goku from elimination. Jiren vows to win and resurrect his master Gicchin. With less than three minutes left, Goku and Vegeta fight Jiren together in their base forms, utilizing expert teamwork. Jiren powers up again, forcing Goku and Vegeta to put all of their remaining power into a Kamehameha and Gamma Burst Flash. Jiren takes the combined blast and emerges with minor damage before knocking Vegeta off the stage. Goku is about to be pushed off next when Frieza appears behind Jiren holding a Death Ball. Goku grabs Jiren, but Jiren is able to overpower him and throw away the blast. Distracted, Golden Frieza hits Jiren with a Nova Strike that eliminates all three warriors. Android 17 then reveals himself, making Universe 7 the winners of the Tournament of Power before using his wish to bring back all of the erased universes. Broly Saga Goku and Vegeta battle Super Saiyan Broly using their Perfected Super Saiyan Blue states in an icy environment. Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga After their encounter with Broly, Goku appears at the Capsule Corporation in order to train with Vegeta in the Gravity Training Room. While they spar, Vegeta asks Goku about Ultra Instinct, and he replies that he hasn't been able to pull it off since the Tournament of Power. Vegeta says the technique is useless if he can use it at will. Undeterred, Goku says that he will just have to keep grinding out his training if he is going to be able to use it again. Suddenly, Bulma contacts them to say she has received an urgent call from Mr. Satan regarding a mysterious gang that showed up at his house and is now trying to kidnap Buu. Goku teleports over there and confronts them until he is knocked out by Merus' Stun Gun. He awakens aboard the Galactic Patrol Headquarters where he is informed of a dangerous criminal named Moro who has escaped from the Galactic Prison and they require the Grand Supreme Kai who slumbers inside of Buu in order to stop him. Talking with Merus and Jaco prior to joining the Galactic Patrol, Goku reveals how not long before the Moro situation, he and Vegeta had encountered a Saiyan named Broly and had been forced to fuse into Gogeta to defeat him. Goku offers to help catch the criminal and along with Vegeta the two are inducted into the Galactic Patrol as temporary special members. They join Merus on their venture to the Planet Jung to capture the Macareni gang who are attempting to steal some Blue Aurum. After Goku helps to catch the gang, he attempts to search for Moro's energy signal but is shocked when it appears that Moro has noticed. Explaining that his power wasn't particularly huge but terrifying in a way he had never felt before, Goku and the others soon come to the conclusion that Moro is heading to New Namek in order to gather the Dragon Balls. Taking Vegeta with him, Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport to New Namek to get a head start on Moro just as his ship appears above. Goku watches as Vegeta is the first to take on Moro and realises throughout that Moro has the ability to absorb life energy. Moro eventually drains both Vegeta and Goku of all their energy and defeats them, leaving them for dead. However still on the verge of life, they are rescued by Moori and a young Namekian named Esca and are taken to a nearby house where they are looked after for the next three days. After sensing Moro heading in their direction, Goku and Vegeta head out to confront him once again but Merus arrives first on top of a Galactic Patrol spaceship and takes him on instead, capturing him with a device. When Buu is kicked off the ship and spots Moro he becomes enrages and Goku watches as he overwhelms Moro in battle, noticing that Buu appears stronger than he did before. Unfortunately, Moro's magic is returned to him thanks to Cranberry using Porunga and Moro flees the area. Buu restores Goku and Vegeta's energy and when they turn around, see that the Grand Supreme Kai has manifested his way through Buu. Goku teleports himself, Vegeta and Grand Supreme Kai to Moro's location on the verge of New Namek's atmosphere but is unable to continue the fight when Moro heads out further into space. After Merus assists Grand Supreme Kai and gives him the opportunity to grab hold of him, Moro is teleported back to New Namek where Goku and Vegeta await him. Moro informs the two of his third wish, to have all the prisoners from the Galactic Prison go free and they soon appear by his side having used a spaceship to get there. Moro shares his power with the prisoners, putting them into an empowered state before they gang up on Goku, Vegeta and Grand Supreme Kai but they get overpowered. However, when Moro begins to absorb up their energy once again, the Saiyans and Kai begin to struggle. With the planet on the verge of destruction, Goku uses his Instant Transmission to teleport all of his allies but Vegeta, who chooses to go his separate way, back to Galactic Patrol Headquarters. After a few more days, Goku hears from Merus that Moro has grown even stronger and now stand virtually no chance of victory against him. Goku asks if this were to be true even if Merus were to be fighting seriously and he decides to give Merus a little test. He throws a punch at Merus which he effortlessly dodges even though Goku had meant for it to connect. Wanting to get a true feel for Merus' power, the two move to a training room for a sparring session but even after progressing through Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 3, Goku is still unable to land a hit on Merus. He asks Merus to train him believing that by doing so he could potentially master the Ultra Instinct that may be needed to defeat Moro. Merus agrees but suggests they can go elsewhere to train as the room cannot withstand their power. A few days after Vegeta and Irico land on Yardrat, Goku travels with Merus on another planet to train. During their training session, Goku proceeds to punch and kick Merus but Merus effortlessly dodges Goku's punches and kicks, not taking any hits from him and counters his punches and kicks by hitting him with a staff to his back. Finding that Ultra Instinct will be one difficult technique to learn especially due to his emotions being all over the place when fighting, Goku tells Merus that in order to achieve Ultra Instinct he needs to empty his heart and mind. Merus then proceeds to charge toward Goku with his staff, and while Goku dodges Merus attacks with the staff, Merus reminds Goku that emotions can also translate into prodigious power such as Super Saiyan which is mainly triggered by rage though Merus points out that what he is after is the exact opposite. The training now in a halt, Merus reveals to Goku that he knew about Ultra Instinct all along and had a reason for keeping quiet about it much to Goku's surprise. Knowing that Merus is a good guy who has the same goal to defeating Moro, Goku doesn't mind Merus keeping his knowledge about Ultra Instinct quiet and proceeds to resume their training to learn this ability, but Merus tells Goku to follow him inside a pyramid where he leads him to a room that resembles the Hyperbolic Time Chamber much to Goku's recognition. Merus tells Goku that 1 day that passes outside of the room is equivalent to 3 days inside of the room much to Goku's disappointment that they will only have 3 days to train but considers extra time better than no time. Merus reveals to Goku that the main reason why he brought him to the room is so that he can unleash his full power without anyone finding out about it. Merus goes into a fighting stance now serious and Goku assumes that Merus is not going to hold anything back against him to which Merus confirms this upon replying that he will impart all of his strength in their training and won't go easy on Goku. Merus asks Goku if he is prepared to continue their training and Goku with a smile on his face who goes into a fighting stance happily obliges to resume their training as he replies he was born ready. After continuing for a while, Goku begins to doubt that he even used Ultra Instinct after all. After Merus asks if it was first activated during an extreme crisis, he tells Goku the quickest way to achieve it again is to replicate those conditions and that Goku must be prepared to die during the process. During a break in the training to eat, Merus informs Goku of the news of Moro's men visiting Earth. Merus tells Goku that he has two months (six months in the room) before Moro himself heads to the planet and then continue their training. Two months later, with time almost up, Goku and Merus decide to have one last spar at full strength, but they are interrupted by Whis who teleports them outside and reveals Merus as his younger brother and Angel. Before Whis takes Merus back to his realm, he tells Goku that he faith that he will defeat Moro. After they leave, Goku realizes he has been left alone with just a Galactic Patrol ship that he would have to pilot himself and shouts for the Angels to come back. At some point, he gets lost on the way back to Earth and stops off of at a nearby planetoid to ask some locals for directions. As he gets closer to Earth, he begins to sense the battles taking place and his friends in trouble. He tries to use his Instant Transmission to teleport to them but is unable to get a hold of them until he senses Krillin's spiking chi. Arriving on Earth, just as the fusion of Miza, Kikaza and Iwaza are going in to finish off Krillin and Master Roshi, Goku knocks her out cold with a single attack before turning to Krillin and apologising for showing up late. When Krillin asks Goku if he thinks he can beat Moro, he says yes even though he could still be hiding some of his power. Goku teleports to Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu - who are losing their battle with Zauyogi - and proceeds to take down their foe in an instant. Yamcha informs Goku that Gohan and the others need him, and so Goku teleports away once more. As Saganbo continues to overwhelm Gohan and Piccolo in battle, Saganbo is suddenly attacked by Goku - moving too fast for anyone but Jaco and Moro to see. At Moro's request, Goku reveals himself and Moro notes that he has grown much stronger than he was before. Moro powers up Saganbo further and Goku engages him as a Super Saiyan Blue and proves to be the stronger. Believing the fight to be over, he prepares to battle Moro, only for Saganbo to stand up again, stronger still after receiving another power-up from Moro. Goku demands that Moro stop powering up Saganbo, who is clearly on his last legs, but Moro refuses, saying that he wants to see the ability Goku was using when he first arrived on the battlefield. As Goku attacks Moro to try and stop him, Saganbo suddenly collapses and dies. Angered by Saganbo's needless death, Goku vows that he will kill Moro for what he's done and unveils his new ability - Ultra Instinct Sign - which a shocked Moro recognizes as a technique of the gods. As the two get into battle positions, Goku throws a multitude of punches from a standstill position that act as air blasts which Moro has to block. Darting in close, Goku's heightened agility allows him to pressure Moro who in return attempts to immobilize him. Goku soon breaks free and charges forward, powering up a Kamehameha but turns away from Moro at the last second, realizing that it is an illusion and fires the wave at the real Moro before continuing into an aerial battle. Goku begins to gain more of an edge until Moro uses his magic to draw him in close and the two land a hard simultaneous blow. Moro attempts to use his energy absorption technique on Goku but with a quick burst of speed he is able to dodge it and continues to hold an advantage over Moro while at close range. Moro stops fighting briefly to tell Goku that he is a fool for thinking that he is only capable of so much and powers up further still. In a near instant, Moro is able to grab Goku from behind and causes him to fall out of his Sign state. Moro points out that Goku was trying to rush the battle due to not having the stamina to keep the Sign level up for long and was why he didn't use it against Saganbo throughout their battle. Goku acknowledges his weakness but deduces that if Moro were stalling for time, then it must mean he cannot beat him at full power. Goku powers back up into Ultra Instinct Sign, apologizing to Merus for not continuing his stamina balancing act any longer, deciding to fight at full strength. As both Goku and Moro begin to use their full strength, their auras begin to collide. Goku's wins out and he is able to push Moro back and the two fight an evenly matched battle until Goku knocks Moro down. After standing back up, Moro admits that he had been too cautious earlier and will not lose to Goku if that is the true extent of his power. As Goku begins to slow down after having reached his limit, Moro gains a clear edge in battle. Goku attempts one last desperate push to increase his power beyond his limits, but Moro soundly begins to beat Goku down until he drops out of his Ultra Instinct Sign form. When he attempts to absorb Goku's energy, Android 17 and Android 18 intervene but fail to leave much of a mark on Moro. Vegeta finally returns to Earth using Instant Transmission with Goku surprised to see him pull the technique off then begins to watch as Vegeta is next to take Moro on. It soon becomes apparent that Moro is getting weaker as the battle progresses and Vegeta gains the upper hand. Goku realizes what Vegeta has achieved and tells Gohan and Piccolo that Vegeta is using Forced Spirit Fission, something Goku was unable to learn previously. This allows Vegeta to liberate the stolen energy from Moro where he proceeds to release it to its point of origin. As Vegeta battles on, Piccolo notes his growth as a person which he believes is thanks to Goku. Goku is naturally oblivious to this, simply vowing to surpass him once again. Unfortunately, Moro's disadvantage is short lived. Absorbing Seven-Three, Moro achieves greater power and quickly takes Vegeta down. Goku gets to his feet and along with Gohan and Piccolo, despite being exhausted prepare to take him on. Though Vegeta returns almost immediately afterwards, Moro takes him down once again but not before stealing all of his abilities for himself. Gohan and Piccolo head in to engage Moro, with Gohan able to ensnare Moro using Gotenks' Galactic Donut technique and Goku, back in his Super Saiyan Blue form, uses the Instant Kamehameha to blast Moro at point blank range. This destroys Moro's arm but much to Goku's shock and horror, Moro quickly regenerates the arm and drives it straight through Goku's chest where he proceeds to collapse in a near death state. Thanks to the arrival of Whis and Merus on Earth, Goku and his fallen allies are transported outside of the barrier that Moro had erected. Due to being in the worst condition, Dende heals Goku first and then informs him that an Angel is currently in battle with Moro. Goku recalls being told of how Angels will disappear if they were to fight outside of training and concerned for Merus' well-being he rushes back to the battlefield. Goku transforms into Ultra Instinct Sign once again and quickly takes over the battle but is unable to land a single blow before Moro sends him hurtling away. He tells Merus that despite all their training, he still hasn't gotten the hang of it. However, Merus tells him that his training did work, and he is only a step away from achieving its true state. Merus re-enters the battle, using his true powers as an Angel to destroy the orbs on Moro's body to seal away his copy ability. As Merus begins to fade away, Goku looks on feeling distraught and helpless. Merus tells Goku that should he achieve Ultra Instinct again at his current level of strength, the form will be more stable and Moro, nor anyone else will be able to defeat him. He asks Goku to protect the galaxy that he has grown to love and disappears into the wind. Goku then begins to build up a newfound level of strength but tries to calm himself down. Understanding that he isn't fighting alone and that Merus's sacrifice was for the universe as a whole, Goku accepts his position as a current member of the Galactic Patrol, acknowledging that it is now his job to protect the universe. Goku re-enters into the perfected Ultra Instinct state for the first time since the Tournament of Power and quickly establishes his superiority over Moro, blocking and dodging all of his attacks with ease before landing a mighty blow on Moro that shakes the entire planet. After Moro tries different yet futile strategies, Goku kicks him into a nearby rock, with the impact causing a large portion to fall onto Moro which traps him underneath. As Moro begs for his life, Goku confirms from Jaco that Moro had been sentenced to death leading him to remove his Gi with the Galactic Patrol insignia, stating that from now on he will fight Moro as an Earthling. Goku destroy the boulders pinning Moro then teleports over to the newly Krillin and takes the bag of Senzu from him. He offers to spare Moro's life if he promises to return to the Galactic Prison and stays there. Moro accepts and Goku tosses him a Senzu which he eats but unsurprisingly Moro breaks his promise and attacks Goku. However, Moro instead breaks his wrist on Goku's body. Goku calls him a coward that could never defeat him and reverts to his normal state asking Moro if he has ever trained before. When Moro says no, Goku calls it a pity as he could have grown stronger through training than he ever did by eating planets and would have loved the opportunity to fight with him again. Jaco urges Goku to finish off Moro and once more Goku asks if he will return to prison. Moro spots his previously severed arm behind Goku and vows to continue his ways causing Goku to tap back into Perfected Ultra Instinct to finish him. Moro summons his arm back towards him and attaches it, gaining Merus' power and ability and takes on a further evolved form. The two battle once more and fearful of the damage they could do to the Earth, Goku takes the skirmish into the sky with Moro amazed at what his body is now capable of. Racing across the planet, Moro kicks Goku into a mountain and as they continue, Moro's body begins to swell to several times its normal size with Whis explaining that his body is attempting to contain the Angel power coursing throughout him. As Goku gains the advantage he reminds Moro that he is now experiencing the same thing that Saganbo did before and urges Moro to give up the power before it destroys him. As Moro realizes that he must attain a body strong enough to endure the power, Whis tells Goku that if he intends to kill Moro then he should do so now. Goku goes to finish the job only for Moro to merge himself with Earth. Whis tells everyone that Moro's fate is now tied to Earths and in addition, his body now risks detonating which will eradicate the galaxy along with it. While Goku continues to try and fight off Moro, Beerus was about to join Goku in the fight, citing the situation calls for his interference. However, before he can actually help Whis and Beerus are summoned by the Grand Minister to speak about Merus vanishing. Before taking off, Whis casually halt's Moro's attacks while telling Goku in order to save everything and fix his mistake he must destroy the crystal as Merus did. Goku questions if he can actually do that and Whis reminds him with Ultra Instinct he has godly power and is more than enough to do it. Before Goku gets a chance Moro sucks the crystal inside the Earth. Vegeta flies in and starts to use his Spirit Fission to revert Moro's body back a bit and draw the crystal out, giving Goku the opening to end it. Before Goku can through he gets caught by Moro who drain's his energy. Piccolo along with Gohan and the rest of the team arrive and Piccolo believes Vegeta's Spirit Fission can work in reverse and wants Vegeta to take all of their Energy and give it to Goku. Their families along with Dende and Mr. Popo also contribute causing Goku to power back up to Super Saiyan Blue, but it still isn't enough to break free of Moro's grasp. Gohan asks how come Goku isn't using Ultra Instinct and Vegeta tells him he can't as he only got Godly Ki from Dende and it isn't enough to make him go Ultra Instinct again. Considering defeat Vegeta along with most of the Z-Fighter's give up seeing as Moro is literally moment's away from exploding, Gohan and Krillin opt to go directly to Goku to break him free in a attempt to save him. Suddenly Vegeta and Piccolo notice a gigantic ball of Godly Ki appearing above them. Dende realizes that it is coming from Uub, with assistance from the Grand Supreme Kai. Dende figures out that when Kid Buu was reincarnated as Uub, Uub received all of the Godly Ki he took from Grand Supreme Kai. Vegeta, not knowing where it is coming from thanks the individual and quickly uses his Spirit Fission and gives it to Goku. Fully restored Goku powers up to Ultra Instinct and grows in stature to overpower Moro. Once overpowering Moro, Goku flies out of his gigantic aura and smashes the crystal, killing Moro once and for all. As Goku's friends rush over to congratulate him, Vegeta asks where the final burst of power came from. Goku deduces that it must be from someone else amazing on Earth and that they'll find out some day. Goku joins his friends and family at a feast at Satan House before taking Esca back home. A few days later, Goku, Vegeta, Buu and Jaco head back to Galactic Patrol Headquarters where they are awarded with medals for their efforts in defeating Moro. Much to his shock, he is reunited with Merus who had been revived by the Grand Minister but now as a mortal. Elated to see him again, Goku and the others take a celebratory photo and with that his time with the Galactic Patrol comes to an end. Granolah the Survivor Saga Sometime later, Goku and Vegeta return to Beerus' Planet to continue their training. Goku catches the Oracle Fish for Whis so that he can inject him with some vitamins to help him sleep due to him currently having insomnia. Following this, Goku has a sparring session with Whis, transforming into Perfected Ultra Instinct at will. Despite the power up, he is still not able to land a blow on the Angel and is told that obtaining Ultra Instinct is merely the first step and now he must learn greater control over it. The thought of being able to grow stronger still excites Goku as he continues sparring. As he and Vegeta continue their separate training, Goku ponders which of them will be the strongest in the universe, even asking Whis if he knows of anyone stronger than them. When the Oracle Fish wakes up, she repeats her prophecy that soon the strongest warrior in the universe will rise up. Goku and Vegeta then pester the fish for answers as to who it is though she refuses to answer and Goku continues his training. Whis asks Goku what the fundamental difference is between himself and the Angels. After a quick demonstration where Goku finds himself whacked on the head by Whis' staff, Whis explains that they are always in the Ultra Instinct state whereas Goku transforms in order to access it, believing that he equates Ultra Instinct to his transformation. Goku then realizes that he must learn to use Ultra Instinct in his normal form to which Whis tells him that doing so will free him of his stamina drain and that the transformation should be used as a last resort when he requires to surpass his limits. Over the next few weeks Goku makes significant progress with his training. When both he and Vegeta decide to head back to Earth to meet up with the Heeters members, Oil and Macki, who have requested their assistance in defeating a powerful villain, Whis marks his Gi once again with his signature. They board the Heeter's Spaceship and with 18 days until they reach their destination, Goku decides to take advantage of the ship's chef and the gourmet cooking. They eventually arrive on Cereal with Goku alongside Vegeta flying to the villain unaware of them being tricked by the Heeters. While they are flying past a ruined city a bunch of random Ki blasts appear in front of them with the two barely able to dodge them. Goku using his refined Ultra Instinct is able to have an easier time dodging the blasts before landing on the ground before being surprised that the blasts didn't appear from there. Goku sees another barrage of blasts and proceeds to dodge them but is eventually caught by one with it striking one of his vital points. Goku recovers with a Senzu Bean and is called out by Vegeta for relying on his Ultra Instinct too much to which Goku agrees. Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, spotting Granolah and firing an Energy Wave at him but the latter dodges and instantly teleports behind him, much to the former's surprise. The Cerealian unknowingly reveals he's the "villain" and knows the Saiyan race much to Goku's shock with Goku telling Vegeta if he knows of the Cerealians which Vegeta does not. Goku is then caught off guard when Granolah uses a similar technique to Hakai and asks Vegeta if he wants to work together which gets declined. Goku is told by Vegeta that he should go first as payback which Goku agrees and descends to the ground declaring he's the first to fight. Goku is asked by Granolah if he can turn into a Great Ape but Goku declines stating he can't pull off that transformation anymore. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan God then they engage in combat with Goku struggling to fight before using Ultra Instinct in conjunction with his form to dodge Granolah's attacks. Goku is eventually struck in one of his weak points and reverts back to base form. Goku is now aware of how Granolah is able to spot his weaknesses and listens as to why Granolah wants revenge on Frieza. With the knowledge of his intentions Goku questions the former if he's really an enemy. Goku sees Granolah powering up then says that he cannot be called the strongest that easily and turns into Super Saiyan Blue, fighting equally with the latter. Goku battles against Granolah in and around a forested area, dodging blast and blow alike before Granolah swings around a tree by his scarf to deliver a flying kick on Goku. Goku recovers and stands his ground against the Cerealian's heavy blows, letting out a raging inferno of Ki that obliterates the surrounding area. Granolah notes with his evolved right eye that the flow of blood and movement of cells within Goku's body have altered; Goku has combined Ultra Instinct with the Perfected Super Saiyan Blue form. Goku begins to move around Granolah at incredible speed, evading his attacks before firing off a powerful Kamehameha at point-blank range. Granolah, however, is still able to land his Pressure Point Attack at a vital point in Goku's neck as he is hit by the wave. As the dust clears, Granolah is mildly damaged, but Goku is much worse for wear; having dropped down to his base form. Goku sticks to his belief that a true practitioner of Ultra Instinct should have no weak points, and that his training must be lacking. Granolah causes the ground beneath Goku's feet to swell and explode upwards with a fearsome energy that Goku struggles to counter. Goku desperately escapes with Instant Transmission and lands by Vegeta, noting that Granolah's technique is similar to Moro's. Vegeta informs Goku about his discoveries: the Cerealians were a race that were wiped out by the Saiyans under Frieza's command long ago. The Saiyan pair realize that Granolah is the last surviving Cerealian out for revenge, and that the Heeters lied to them about his villainy. Reasoning that nothing less than beating him will allow them to convince Granolah that the Saiyans are no longer his enemies, Goku claims to still have hope of victory and transforms once more into Perfected Ultra Instinct, as Granolah reels with shock; he cannot detect any pressure points. Goku attacks again, only this time, Granolah is unable to perceive his movements as the Saiyan launches a lightning-fast assault that tears off his sniping goggles and knocks him around the forest. Goku tries to reason with the vengeful warrior, but Granolah is unmoved and attacks Goku viciously. He is unable to penetrate the Saiyan's autonomous defence, and finds his blow halted by Goku's telekinesis, before being lifted into the air and punched by a series of ki blasts to the stomach. Vegeta believes the battle is won, but notices that Granolah's energy has not dropped as much as it should. He then detects Granolah's power coming from elsewhere. Granolah expresses surprise at the strength of the Saiyans. However, Granolah may have underestimated Goku, but he has not lost yet. He explains to a confused Goku that the Granolah he is facing is not his true self; he split his power apart at the start of the battle, taking some of the power of his true body and creating an illusion clone to fight. Vegeta finds the true Granolah, sitting in his spaceship, and alerts Goku as the clone vanishes into thin air. But as Vegeta turns back to the ship, the true Granolah teleports to Goku's location and strikes a pressure point directly over his heart that briefly stops it, causing him to drop out of Perfected Ultra Instinct. A final, devastating blow sends Goku crashing through the forest. Granolah says that he wanted to save his true strength for Frieza, but having Goku fight a clone first worked to his advantage as the accuracy of his Perfected Ultra Instinct only drops over time. He then mocks Goku for falling for his trick and prepares to kill him with a ki blast, only to be interrupted by Vegeta. Shortly afterwards, Goku wakes up and immediately suffers intense pain from the pressure point attack Granolah inflicted on him earlier and begins to observe Vegeta's fight with Granolah. He begins to selfheal his wounds so that he can get back into the action. Goku leaps back into the fight in the nick of time to save Vegeta from a killing blow, however, Vegeta gets to his feet and unexpectedly roundhouse-kicks Goku into a nearby rock, angered at the thought of having the fight taken away from him. Vegeta then tells Goku that they had only ever fought together in the past when something needed protecting. Goku asks about his life which needs saving, though Vegeta scoffs at this and says he would rather die than team up with him. Unaware, Granolah charges in to strike a pressure point over Vegeta's heart, though Goku is able to save him in time by pushing him away using a Kiai. Granolah asks how he was able to react in time, with Goku saying that he now has a read on his vital targeting strategy, and it will not work anymore. The two begin to battle with Granolah seemingly ending the fight fast with a pressure point attack to the back of Goku's neck. However, Goku attacks Granolah from behind, claiming that the same move will not work on him again. Granolah attempts another attack, but Goku is able to move his pressure points and counters with a punch. Goku says that he cannot dodge the attack completely but is able to shift his pressure points enough to avoid fatal damage. Granolah praises his defensive ability but claims that he will not surpass him as his attacking force is not up to par. Vegeta stirs and once more gets to his feet, watching as Goku is sent crashing to the ground and drops out of Perfect Super Saiyan Blue. Vegeta decides to take over, still not wanting to team. He asks Goku to leave the fight to him, and Goku agrees. However, Granolah overpowers Vegeta and attempts to finish him off in one final sacrificial act. Goku tries to intervene, but the power of the attack stops him from getting closer. Monaito, who appears on the scene, calls out to Granolah to stop, and the sudden distraction gives Goku the chance to knock Granolah to the ground, calling both him and Vegeta stupid. Monito tells Granolah that he had lied to him as there was one Saiyan who did not earn his vengeance. Forty years ago, the man who had saved both Granolah and himself was none other than a Saiyan named Bardock. When Monaito questioned Goku if there was any relation because of their resemblance, Goku was unsure because he was raised by Gohan on Earth. However, Vegeta soon reveals that Bardock was Goku's father, to the latter's shock. Goku soon remarks he wish he knew more about his father while Vegeta comments that the kindness really is genetic in Goku's family. Shortly afterwards, Gas emerges, having now become the strongest in the universe thanks to Elec's summoning the dragon and making the wish. Both Goku and Vegeta were shocked to hear that Cereal had Dragon balls and that is where Granolah got his strength. After taking down Goku, Gas focuses his efforts on Granolah, proceeding to take him down with ease. As Monaito heals Goku of his wounds, the recovering Saiyan asks Vegeta to go get the Senzu Bean that was stored away in his armor and tells him to eat it. Goku attempts to buy him some time and heads back into battle as Super Saiyan Blue but finds himself far outmatched. Granolah soon returns to take over the battle in Goku's stead who then watches events unfold with Vegeta. Granolah appears to defeat Gas using his superior skill set however when Elec shows up and removes Gas's necklace, his instincts are unleashed, giving him access to far greater power than before though he is initially in a wild and frenzied state. During his rampage, he quickly takes down Granolah before savagely kicking Vegeta and taking him down. Goku rushes in with a punch and though it is blocked, Gas is reminded of his battle with Bardock long ago and backs off. Gas soon snaps out of his madness as his body undergoes a new form. After Gas breaks Granolah's arms and Elec fatally shoots him in the back, Vegeta gives his remaining ki to Goku. Goku takes a deep breath then goes Perfected Super Saiyan Blue. Gas attacks Goku with a multitude of special weapon-based energy techniques, followed by using Telekinesis to throw buildings at the Saiyan before striking him with a moving train. Goku flips up on to the top of the train and Gas joins him. Asking Goku to show his true strength, he notices that he does not seem to have the same fierce resolve that his father once had and questions if he really is his son. Goku is sent into the lake below and begins to suffocate underwater, however not satisfied by such a simple death, he returns Goku's counterattack right back at him. As Goku wonders how he is going to be able to defeat his opponent, Gas spots Monaito using his Healing powers to partially restore Granolah. Gas makes a beeline for Monaito but before he is able to reach him, Goku grabs a hold of him and uses Instant Transmission to teleport them off of Cereal. After crash landing on another planet and greeting Jaco, Goku confidently states that Gas has an inferior version of teleportation than his own and baits Gas to teleport into embarrassing positions. Next, Goku and Gas are teleported into the Galactic Prison where Gas is mocked by villains from the past. On a volcanic planet, Goku appears nearby Whis and the Oracle Fish, followed shortly by a confused Gas. Goku reveals his ploy: he leaves using Instant Transmission back to the Galactic Patrol ship he just left. From there, he quickly chains together a sequence of Instant Transmissions before finally landing back on Cereal. Gas realizes that Goku has stranded him and is too far away to directly return to Cereal with Instant Transmission. Unable to follow Goku back along their route, Gas furiously asks Whis for the direction to Cereal, which he provides. Gas takes off into space at incredible speed. Goku regroups with the others, having bought them some time. Oatmeel is also present, having activated a mobile android mode to help out. In a hovercar on the way to Monaito's house, Goku is contacted by Whis who warns Goku that Gas is approaching and will return in 20 minutes. At the house, Monaito tells Goku that he has something to show him; Bardock's Scouter. Oatmeel begins to play the Scouter's stored audio, and Monaito recognizes Bardock's voice, warning him to escape with Granolah from the battle with Gas 40 years ago. He tells them to "Stay alive", awakening a deep, repressed memory within Goku of Bardock and Gine telling him the same thing as they sent him away from Planet Vegeta before its destruction. As Goku recalls more memories of his parents, Goku comes to a solemn realization. He feels that he finally understands what the pride of the Saiyans is about, and that he has lost faith in his own strength. When Gas returns to Cereal, the Saiyans emerge and choose to fight together. They transform into their Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego forms and attack Gas. Vegeta launches a Sphere of Destruction at Gas, but he begins to push it back. Goku tries to help Vegeta but realizing the futility of the struggle, Vegeta leaves Goku to barely hold it back himself as Vegeta attacks Gas directly. Goku is able to deflect the blast upwards, saving the city behind him from being destroyed and attempts to join Vegeta but he hastily orders him to back off and tells him that his Ultra Instinct is no different than it was before and that he needs to figure it out quickly. Goku heads to a nearby plateau where he begins to meditate. Dropping back down to his base form, a barrier erects itself around Goku. Meanwhile Gas defeats Vegeta but just as he prepares to finish him, Goku saves him using the same barrier. He moves Vegeta to his side and Goku makes his way down to Gas and begins to power up. Gas wonders if he will use one of the transformations he has already used or something new. Goku however, says the answer is neither and that he has merely figured out the best transformation for pulling out his power. Goku transforms into True Ultra Instinct, confusing Gas who believed that his silver hair form was his maximum strength. Goku explains that he requires a tranquil and calm heart for his perfected Ultra Instinct state but in his Sign state he can put his current emotions to better use stating that his heart is no longer calm. Gas flies at Goku in a fit of rage and exchanges blows with the Heeter coming off the worst. Goku follows up on his advantage, not letting Gas have a chance to regroup and following a relentless attack, finishes with a heavy kick that sends Gas flying. After Elec chastises Gas on his performance Goku tells Elec that he does not have to force Gas to fight as he is up for a tussle anytime, but Elec tells him that there will not be a next time. A burst of energy erupts from Gas who gets to his feet, now with a severely aged appearance and yet more powerful than ever. He soon overwhelms Goku with his power, but he is saved by the timely appearance of Granolah. Asking Goku if he is willing to bet everything on his strength, Goku attempts to hold off Gas long enough for Granolah to power up a finishing attack. His attempts do not last long however, but fortunately Vegeta too, shows up to help. When Granolah finishes powering up his attack, Goku conjures up his giant spectral form and grabs hold of Gas before throwing him to the edge of the planet's atmosphere. Granolah finally unleashes his attack and with assistance from Oatmeel, hits Gas head-on. Gas falls to the ground seemingly defeated but not dead and Granolah tells his siblings to take him away and never return to Planet Cereal again before apologizing to Goku and Vegeta for all that he has done. However, after Monaito heals Goku, Vegeta and Granolah to full strength, the Namekian is blasted through the chest by Gas who refuses to give up. Goku and Vegeta transform and enter the battle yet again. Though the two are easily overpowered, Gas' body begins to decay as he takes damage. Soon afterwards Frieza arrives and kills Gas and Elec with ease before turning his attention to Goku and Vegeta. The pair demand to know how he was able to defeat Gas, despite his status as the strongest in the universe. Frieza remarks it may be due to him being in another dimension, confusing the Saiyans. Goku and Vegeta are speechless at this news, as Frieza transforms into a new form. He deems it Black Frieza and unveils the power by easily defeating his foes in their full powered forms. Satisfied by their defeated state, he decides to spare them and takes his leave. Whis then appears and restores Monaito as a one-time special favor for Goku. Whis asks Goku and Vegeta to leave with him straight away as Beerus is unable to figure out how to make instant yakisoba. Goku asks Granolah if he would like to join them for training though he refuses, instead wanting to find the Dragon Balls to fix the damage on Cereal that he had caused. Monaito gives Goku his father's scouter just before they take their leave. Goku asks Whis if the strongest being in the universe that the Oracle Fish was talking about was actually Frieza to which Whis responds that it could have been or it could be someone else who has emerged in the universe instead.

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 Equipment

• Flying Nimbus: Flying Nimbus is a magical, yellow cloud that serves as a way of transportation. Goku obtains the Nimbus from Master Roshi as compensation for saving Turtle. It served Goku and his sons well throughout Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, by acting as a way for them to fly around at high speeds without using up any energy.

• Senzu Beans: Senzu Beans are mystical beans with immense rejuvenation properties, being capable of healing entire wounds, such as one's stomach being punctured.

• Zeno Button: Zeno's Button is a teleportation device that would summon Zeno or Future Zeno to the location the user is at. On the other side there is another button where the user will be transported to Zeno. When Goku came to see Zeno, he invited him to come to Earth sometime, so Zeno gave him a button where Zeno would appear. Later in the Future timeline Goku thought he had another Senzu Bean only for it to turn out that it was Zeno's button. Goku used it to summon Future Zeno in order to erase Infinite Zamasu. Sometime later, Goku thought about reminding Zeno of the upcoming tournament. Beerus, however, was skeptical, even when Goku revealed the alternate button of teleporting himself to Zeno. Threatening to kill Goku, Goku tricked Beerus and teleported himself to Zeno.

Optional Equipment

• Artificial Saiyan Tail: A prosthetic tail modelled after Goku's Saiyan Tail which Bulma created for Adult Goku to use for fishing in place of his natural tail that was removed by Kami. Used by Goku to catch fish in Kakarot.

• Power Pole: A red magical staff originally owned by Korin and eventually was inherited by Goku. One of the only heirlooms from his adopted Grandpa Gohan, it became a signature tool for Goku throughout his childhood. Extremely durable and resilient, it is blessed with the unique power to extend and retract to vast lengths at the user's will. Apart from aid in fighting, the Power Pole also serves as the only non-flying means to reach The Lookout.

• Dragon Balls: Dragon Balls are the titular artifacts of the Dragon Ball series. They are large, crystalline spheres that feature five-pointed stars inside of themselves; individually, they have no powers, but united they have the ability to call forth their associated Eternal Dragon. Originally under Kami, Shenron could only grant one wish. However, under Dende, Shenron can grant three wishes, however since Dende is not powerful enough, Shenron can only fulfill two of the three wishes if a large number of people are revived using one of the wishes. Alternatively, Porunga can grant three wishes, however, Porunga could only bring one person back from the dead per wish as compared to Shenron who can revive an unspecified number per wish. Later, Porunga's power is strengthened by Moori to bring back as many lives as needed without any reduction in the remaining number of wishes.

• Dragon Radar: An invention of Bulma made to track down Dragon Balls. While Goku and other people can sense the Dragon Balls' energy in a general area, the Dragon Radar can pinpoint their exact location from across the entire planet. This let Goku and his friends track all the Dragon Balls within days rather than years, or hours with teleportation.

• Potara: Sacred earrings worn by Supreme Kais to symbolize their full elite status as grand overseers of their respective universe. While worn so casually, they have incredible properties. When a matching set is worn between two people on opposite ears, they will immediately be fused into new individual that represents the apex of both people's traits combined. While fusing with a Kai will result in a permanent fusion, any other union will only last for an hour.

Notable Techniques

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

• 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.

• Dash Power: Surrounded by an aura of godly ki Goku dashes towards the opponent and delivers a straight arm punch to the opponent.

• Godly Ki mastery: Goku can change the nature of his ki to that of the gods, increasing his power drastically. With the Godly Ki, Goku gains access to god-level transformations such as the Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue.

• Regeneration: Super Saiyan God Goku is able to regenerate by pouring his godly ki into his wounds.

• Energy Nullification: During his battle with Beerus, Goku learned how to nullify the negative damaging effects of their clash.

• 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.

• Evil Containment Wave: A technique learned from Master Roshi to battle Goku Black and Future Zamasu. It binds a target in a swirling stream of green energy before being guided into a container. It also requires a special tag to properly complete the sealing. While normally life-threatening to use, Goku's immense power lets him use this multiple times without even remotely exhausting any of his strength. The benefit of the technique is to defeat enemies they cannot or will not kill.

• 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.

• Explosive Power: Goku rapidly switches between the Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue forms in order to utilize Super Saiyan Blue's power to its full potential.

• God Bind: By channeling the Saiyan God power through the user's hands, the user can use the energy generated to stop an opponent in their tracks.

• Autonomous Ultra Instinct: The art of automatic self-movement, Goku began learning this from Whis. During the Tournament of Power, Goku unlocked a special state, enabling him to put to usage this skill. While very crude at first and only able to apply it defensively, he ultimately learned to complete this power to defend and attack simultaneously with optimum efficiency. With this power, he is able to instinctively and instantly react to any nearby threat in the most effective way possible. Initially, Goku's usage of this ability was only unlocked subconsciously during dire situations and he was unable to activate it at will after the Tournament of Power.

• 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.

• 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.

• Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan: Super Saiyan Blue, also known as Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, is an extremely powerful transformation and a transcension of the Super Saiyan God form. By undertaking godly ki training with a deity to wield the power of Super Saiyan God in one's natural state, a Saiyan may achieve a divinity-empowered base form, which allows them to use Super Saiyan Blue as the Super Saiyan version of Super Saiyan God and surpass it in power. While Super Saiyan God can be easily achieved through a specialized ritual, Super Saiyan Blue has no such shortcuts and must be extensively trained in order to be used correctly. In Goku's words, this form is what happens when a "Saiyan with the power of a Super Saiyan God further transforms himself into a Super Saiyan". Simply, it is the first Super Saiyan form combined with the power and godly ki of a Super Saiyan God turned cyan blue, due to a mortal absorbing it. In the manga, Super Saiyan Blue's peak power can only be maintained for a short period, gradually decreasing in stamina from prolong use. Also, repeated use will reduce the power of this form to less than 10% capacity. In the anime the stamina flaw is nowhere near as drastic but is still present and thus Goku learned to instantly and repeatedly switch between his God form and Blue form, allowing him to conserve and more quickly recover the full power of Super Saiyan Blue, letting him fight for much longer periods unhindered. In the manga, Goku almost altogether stopped utilizing the ordinary Super Saiyan Blue form after achieving its perfected state.
  • Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken: Thanks to the Super Saiyan Blue form's great ki and emotional control, Goku can utilize Kaio-ken alongside it with far less risk. In this state, Goku gains a double aura, leaving Goku to appear as a basic Super Saiyan Blue with his blue over while a larger red aura surrounds it. In the manga, during the Tournament of Power, Goku used the same principles of Kaio-ken in order to power up his Perfected Super Saiyan Blue as much as possible in an attempt to overcome his limits. Then the intensity of pushing his power so far beyond his normal limits ultimately causes Goku to produce a jagged aura. Goku utilized this state briefly to battle Jiren - putting up a better fight than previously at the cost of straining his body - though even this power up proved futile against Jiren's overwhelming power.
  • Perfected Super Saiyan Blue: In the manga, as the full potential of a Super Saiyan Blue is only usable for the first few minutes before dropping down, Goku manages to overcome this massive stamina flaw to the point where he can use the form for as long and as many times as he wants. Goku achieved this by sealing the massive overflowing power inside himself, causing his aura to completely disappear. Goku first displays his completed Super Saiyan Blue state against Fused Zamasu, with his power showing a slight advantage over the fused Shinjin, who only survived because of his immortality. This state is not without flaws. First being that this requires intense concentration and focus by the user to prevent any ki from leaking out of their body. Second is that even if the slightest amount of ki, leaking out of the body can be extremely painful for Goku. If it leaks too much, it could cause the power to become unstable and explode, killing Goku.

• Ultra Instinct Sign: A state first attained during the Tournament of Power. Originally, in the anime, Goku did this by absorbing the energy of the Spirit Bomb as a bolster to break a mental shell in the subconscious to unlock a much deeper portion of his potential. In the manga, this state is the pinnacle of Goku's martial arts training; obtained from reflecting on Master Roshi's words and demonstration of proper movement, admitting to his shame in lack of personal growth and letting go of his self-doubt. With this, Goku's physical and mental parameters are vastly augmented, ranking among the most powerful entities in all the multiverse. His hair stands up somewhat, becoming wilder in shape with no loose strands. His eyes become more defined and sterner in shape, while also gaining silver irises. His aura becomes a complex silver with sparkle appearance. In this state, Goku's physical, mental, and energy parameters are vastly augmented, equally increasing his combat performance. He processes information far quicker and efficiently, letting him learn and adapt to all experiences. The highlight of this lets him automatically react to all threats in the most efficient way possible, even without consciously being aware of it. This augmented growth greatly accelerates his natural improvement, constantly imprinting on his experiences to become stronger, faster, and sharper in his actions with every skirmish. In the anime, entering this state also energize him and negate all previous wounds as a battered Goku showed against Kefla. However, initially usage of this state is random and unstable, only accessible for short periods of time and in the direst of situations. In the anime, by his fight against Kefla, while seemingly learning to access this state more willingly, as noted by Whis, Goku's usage is still incomplete. While his movements have become more refined, he struggles to switch his full attention on to his offense, inhibiting his attacks and techniques, requiring more time to build up energy for an assault to have sufficient power. The effort also appears to drain Goku quicker, returning him to his base form and in an exhausted state.
  • Perfected Ultra Instinct: Once understanding Whis' words behind self-movement, Goku learned to let go of all self-doubt and live in the moment. When fully synchronizing his impulses with his natural drive, Goku can subconsciously unlock the full potential of his offensive and defensive might. This culminates with Goku's silver glow consuming him, turning his hair silver and skin tone more ethereal in nature. The power in this form is vastly greater than his initial state that it completely shreds away his shirt (in the anime). In this state, Goku showed such fine control of his ki, able to calmly repel and contain any energy assault thrown at him. He can unleash barrages of his energy in focused shockwaves and cancel out all but the strongest of attacks. In addition, while accessing this state, Goku's body is full rejuvenated and, in the manga, can grow sturdier in areas in response to being attacked, even causing weaker foes to break their limbs trying to hit his body. In the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, during the battle against Moro on Earth, after witnessing Merus' without hesitation sacrifice his very existence to battle Moro, Goku came to fully appreciate what selflessness is all about. Taking to heart the teachings of Merus and his absolute honor, Goku became able to instantly access Ultra Instinct and deactivate it at will with no apparent drawbacks. In this state, his power is able to affect the entire planet, all while still giving off no energy signature for mortals to sense. After receiving additional power from many fighters on Earth, Goku was able to manifest a giant avatar of himself to grapple with the enlarged Moro.
  • True Ultra Instinct: In the Granolah the Survivor Saga, Goku realized that due to his mindset, at his current mastery of Ultra Instinct he was better suited to Ultra Instinct Sign than Perfected Ultra Instinct, which allowed him to access his unique variant of Ultra Instinct Sign, known as True Ultra Instinct. In this state, Goku is able to put his emotions to work for him and focus less on maintaining a calm mind and heart, which allows him to harness Ultra Instinct to an even higher level than his Perfected form.
  • Giant Form: While in his Perfected Ultra Instinct state, Goku can unleash his energy to form a giant battle avatar to fight with. He used this giant avatar to break free from the Earth-fused Moro's grip and subsequently pin him down so that his main body could deliver the final blow to the planet eater.

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: 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, allowing them to not be able to tank or die to far lower attacks such as attacks that have destroyed the planets of several worlds. Ultra Instinct originally lasted seconds before reverting to his base form. After training with Merus, Goku can keep up his Ultra Instinct for much longer but it still drains his stamina rapidly. Furthermore, the accuracy of his Ultra Instinct also decreases overtime, as stated by Granolah. Saiyans cannot survive the vacuum of space. Goku's accuracy in Ultra Instinct drops overtime.

Note: 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.

Note 2: 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.
