“ | No, see, I don't think of it like I'm saving the world. The fact is, it's because I'm usually trying to challenge the strongest warriors I can find. That's how this tournament happened, too. But I can't bear the thought of innocent lives getting wiped out just because I want to fight the best. So, I'll do what I can for them. | „ |
~ Goku to Android 17 |
“ | Cheelai: Hey, wait. What's your name? |
„ |
~ Goku to Broly |
“ | The tournament will have the strongest warriors from across the multiverse. I didn't think I'd find a better opportunity to test my power. But, I'd forgotten about you, Gohan. All this time, and the best challenger I could ever hope to face is my own son! | „ |
~ Goku to Gohan |
“ | This is all thanks to you. Fighting you both at once... I discovered I had power inside of me that I didn't realize was there. | „ |
~ Goku to Kale and Caulifla |
“ | You've got a lot to learn. Here on Earth, we like to live together in peace and harmony, although that's not always been the case. We've had our fair share of enemies, trust me. But, I don't think that you're one of them. For some reason, I can just tell. You can stop fighting. You don't have to listen to what the others tell you to do. | „ |
~ Goku to Broly |
“ | You took my body. You took my life! Then you even killed Chi-Chi and Goten! You're gonna regret telling me that, Zamasu! Cuz' now I'm mad...I'm really REALLY MAD! And now its time....to PAAAAAAAY! | „ |
~ Goku to Zamasu and Goku Black |
“ | That won't work. I don't care how far you push your Time-Skip; it won't stand a chance against what I am now. | „ |
~ Goku to Hit |
“ | I can feel it. Not the chaos of consciousness, but the elegant purity of energy operating on impulse alone. Goku is focused only on Jiren now, or rather on the battle itself. He's throwing his whole body and soul into the fleeting moment of each strike, allowing the flames of his power to rage through him. Unrestrained by the walls of thought, concerns for his universe or the gap in their powers, his hesitation, his impatience, his fear! He has given them all to the fire and let them burn. So that now there is only himself, his opponent, and the fight...Soon he will reach a realm still faster, keener and deeper than instinct, where even that awareness would blur and fade. And beyond that... | „ |
~ Whis on Goku's Ultra Instinct |

- Reactive Evolution (When fighting Hit, Goku lacked a resistance to Time-Skip ability and required analytical prediction to contend against Hit’s abilities. Eventually, Hit improved his Time-Skip and Goku's analytical prediction didn’t work. In the middle of the fight, Goku gained resistance by intercepting Hit's Time-Skip.

Attack Potency: Low Multiverse level (As a Super Saiyan God, fought with a suppressed Beerus, and their clash both shook and was about to destroy the universe from its edge. Absorbed Super Saiyan God's power and became even stronger. Managed to overcome Beerus' energy nullification as a Super Saiyan, which easily nullified energy capable of destroying the universe. Destroyed a superior amount of energy that was going to destroy the universe with a single punch in his base form, which consists of 3 space-time continuums) | Low Multiverse level (Grew significantly in power during his training. Unlocked Super Saiyan Blue and was later capable of enhancing his strength even further by stacking Kaio-ken x10 on top of Super Saiyan Blue) | Low Multiverse level (Comparable to Vegeta who at this time managed to dominate Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black and overpower Fusion Zamasu's Holy Wrath alongside Future Trunks after training extensively.[40] Upon going past his limits, he could replicate Vegeta and Trunks' feat by himself and knock down Fusion Zamasu with Kaioken.[41] Stalemated a stronger Hit with just Super Saiyan Blue, without using Kaio-ken, and even his weaker Super Saiyan forms can briefly fight opponents like Toppo, although he is inferior in these forms. Also capable of maintaining Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken x20) | Low Multiverse level (6 universes. In Ultra Instinct Omen, he traded blows with a heavily suppressed Jiren, and his Ki alone was able to shake the entire World of Void,[31] which was completely unaffected by the fight between three Gods of Destruction,[42] with a fight between two Gods of Destruction being taboo[43] since it will result in the destruction of two universes, each of which consists of 6 space-time continuums[44]) | Low Multiverse level, far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue (After breaking his limits by achieving Ultra Instinct Omen a second time, and after defeating Anilaza, he managed to fight against Jiren, who was finally showing a hint of his full power. His Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken is stated to be equal to Vegeta's Super Saiyan Blue Evolved) | Low Multiverse level (Fought on an equal footing with a fully-powered Jiren in Ultra Instinct -Sign- and was stated by Vegeta to have “stepped over the state of the Gods.” After transforming into Perfected Ultra Instinct, he easily nullified a compressed ball of Ki from Jiren. The force of this Ki alone was going to crush all members of Universe 11 (including Belmod). Dominated Jiren in this state, and still fought him evenly after he broke his limits, and managed to defeat him after becoming enraged) | Low Multiverse level (Stronger than before, as he has been training with Vegeta for a while, and most recently with Broly), far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue (By the time of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Goku is touted as being somewhat comparable to Orange Piccolo, who can fight against Cell Max)
Speed: Massively FTL+ (Comparable to the speed of the explosion from the ki sphere which SSG Goku and Beerus created in their final clash, which threatened to engulf the entire universe in mere moments) | Massively FTL+ (At least 118.25 sextillion c, likely far higher) | Massively FTL+ | Massively FTL+ | Massively FTL+ (At least 118.25 sextillion c, likely at least 59.125 nonillion c) | Massively FTL+ (At least 118.25 sextillion c, likely at least 369.53125 decillion c. Much faster than before. Kept pace with full power Jiren. After achieving the true Ultra Instinct, he was shown to be able to blitz a full powered Jiren and keep up with his limit broken state) | Massively FTL+
Lifting Strength: Class M (Can lift this much) | At least Class M | At least Class M (Stronger than before) to Class T (Endured Pretty Black Hole's gravitational pull[45]) | At least Class T | At least Class T, far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue | At least Class T | At least Class T, far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue
Striking Strength: Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue
Durability: Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher as a Super Saiyan Blue
Stamina: Superhuman (Goku can train for days with minimal rest and can fight through his long, arduous fights with the likes of Vegeta and Frieza, continuing to fight against Vegeta even after overexerting himself with Kaio-ken x4, and ultimately outlasting the latter even after being effortlessly beaten around, pushing himself to his limits with Kaio-ken, and exhausting himself with his Spirit Bomb. When he was younger, he managed to pull through and defeat Piccolo even after all of his limbs were broken and he was mortally injured. Additionally, as of Battle of Gods, he has finally gotten past Super Saiyan 3's energy problem, allowing him to use it much more easily and for longer periods. Later in Resurrection of F, he was able to endure having a hole in his chest after getting shot by Sorbet. In the Future Trunks arc, he was stabbed in his lung and had a huge hole in his chest by Black but completely ignored the pain and continued to fight both Black and Future Zamasu. In the Tournament of Power Goku was able to fight through nearly the entire duration of the tournament despite repeatedly breaking through his limits and nearly dying multiple times, ultimately pushing himself to fight and eliminate Jiren alongside Frieza even though he could barely move moments before. Can engage in combat in low oxygen environments)
Range: Standard Melee Range; Low Multiversal and Interdimensional with Ki Blasts (Affected Hit's pocket dimension, destroying it), Shockwave Attacks (The shockwaves generated by him and Beerus's punches traveled across the entire universe, even reaching other dimensions such as the Kaioshin Realm), Teleportation (Can teleport across the universe, or to other dimension such as the Kai Realm and the Afterlife), and Telepathy
Standard Equipment: None notable | The Zen'ō Button
- Optional Equipament: Dragon balls (item)
Intelligence: Average generally. Genius combatant (Although he lacks knowledge when it comes to things that aren't related to fighting, Goku is a master of prodigal skill when it comes to martial arts, with years of experience fighting against powerful opponents with a plethora of abilities. His skill when it comes to combat and the usage of Ki allows him to replicate other Ki-based techniques after seeing them once, and he was the first to realize how much energy the Super Saiyan transformations unnecessarily drained. Despite this drawback, he was the first to master the Super Saiyan state, making it highly efficient. He is a genius in combat and is capable of devising new applications of his techniques on the fly, such as using Kamehameha with his feet. Capable of analyzing and copying Beerus' fighting style, allowing him to match Beerus' attacks and cancel out the shockwaves that threatened the universe. Later in Super, before adapting to Hit's time stop, he was able to predict the movements he'd make in the 0.1 seconds of frozen time and react properly. Immediately figured out how to use a Ki blast to restart his heart when it was "crushed" by Hit's Ki blast. Additionally, Goku has become the first mortal to master Ultra Instinct, a technique that even the Gods find difficult to learn, relying purely on his muscle memory and something "beyond" instinct to fight, no longer needing to consciously think to do so while being more serious in this form)
Weaknesses: Goku seeks strong opponents and will, therefore allowing his opponents to reach their full power for the sake of a good fight. Kaio-ken strains his body, causing him intense pain and exhaustion if he overuses it. He often drops his guard and leaves openings for his opponents whenever he gets distracted, lowering his durability. His Spirit Bomb requires a long charge up period, during which time he is vulnerable. He cannot survive in the vacuum of space and needs to locate a Ki signature to teleport using Instant Transmission, initially he couldn't transform into a Super Saiyan God without the ritual, however this is no longer a problem after training with Whis | The Mafuba requires a suitable container to seal the target into | Ultra Instinct Omen is initially only temporary, and he cannot willingly enter the state, only entering it in response to being pushed to his limits. Once Goku exits the form, he is left exhausted. Goku's Ultra Instinct was initially imperfect, so it was harder for him to use it offensively, as he still held himself back by thinking out the best method of attack instead of intuiting what to do. In prolonged encounters, Goku's mastered Ultra Instinct form can spontaneously deactivate, draining Goku of most of his power.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in several ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. Along with his Saiyan blood, Ki acts as the source of Goku's incredible power and abilities. Goku's prodigal skill in combat and the use of Ki allows him to replicate the Ki techniques of others after seeing them only once. After becoming a Super Saiyan God, Goku gained divine Ki, which can only be sensed by other gods.
- Kamehameha: Goku's famous signature technique, which he learned after witnessing Master Roshi use it to extinguish the flames on Fire Mountain, successfully replicating it not long later on his first try. As his signature technique, it is something that Goku has used on many occasions, and he has created several variations throughout his fighting experience, such as firing it from his feet, using it to propel himself into the air, and bending it mid-flight to catch opponents by surprise. Perhaps the most useful variation is the Instant Kamehameha, in which Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport just before firing the attack, appearing right in front of his opponents and giving them no time to dodge. As for the Tournament of Power, Goku has once again used this technique in a new way, as a barrier against other attacks.
- Kaio-ken: A technique developed by King Kai and taught to Goku during his time training on his planet. It greatly increases Goku's Ki for just a moment, boosting his strength and speed significantly for that time. However, this heavily strains his body, and if he overuses it, it will leave him in intense pain all over his body, leaving him incapable of moving without causing himself further pain. Initially, the strongest Kaio-ken Goku can utilize is x4, but by the time of the Frieza Saga, he has mastered its use, allowing him to push it to his maximum of x20. After mastering Super Saiyan Blue, which required perfect Ki control and a calm mind, Goku became capable of using Kaio-ken alongside this transformation, first pushing it to x10, and then x20.
- Spirit Bomb: Goku's ultimate attack, taught to him by King Kai, performed by gathering a vast amount of energy from all the lifeforms in his surroundings to create a massive, incredibly destructive sphere of Ki. To use it, one must have a pure heart so Goku is the perfect individual for the technique due to his obliviously innocent nature. While it is incredibly powerful and can prove capable of destroying an opponent when used with sufficient power, it takes a very long time to charge and is therefore very difficult to use, though the charge time can be sped up by gathering energy from those who willingly and knowingly provide it.
- Kiai: The ability to project an invisible burst of force with Ki, which Goku can perform with his hands and even with a glare.
- Kienzan: Krillin's signature technique, which Goku presumably copied from him. Raising his hand above his head, Goku creates a razor-sharp disc of ki with incredible cutting power and then throws it at his opponent. During the Tournament of Power, Goku utilizes a variation on the technique, the Kienzan Hexa Blade, a Kienzan that splits into five different blades, each under Goku's control and attacking his opponent from different angles. It should be noted that the Kienzan can cut through opponents that are several times stronger and more durable.
- Solar Flare: One of Tien Shinhan's signature techniques, which Goku copied from him during their match in the World Tournament. Bringing his hands up to his face, Goku can create a bright flash of light that can blind opponents.
- Telepathy: Goku has the ability to telepathically communicate with others, presumably learned from King Kai during his time in the afterlife, and during the Frieza Saga, he shows the ability to read Krillin's mind by putting his hand to his forehead.
- Instant Transmission: A teleportation technique that Goku learned between the Frieza and Cell Sagas on the planet Yardrat, which allows him to lock onto the Ki signatures of others and teleport to their locations. Its use takes some concentration, which is aided by Goku putting his index and middle fingers to his forehead (He has also shown to teleport without placing his fingers), and he needs a Ki signature to teleport to, otherwise, he cannot perform the technique. It can be used to teleport others as well, as long as they are in physical contact with Goku.
- Fusion Dance: A special dance created on planet Metamor, learnt by Goku from the inhabitants of said planet. This technique allows two beings to fuse and become a much more powerful entity. To ensure an optimal result, the two must perform all poses correctly, otherwise the fused being will be weak and goofy. The more similar are the height and personality of the two, the better the new being will be, but it will always last only for 30 minutes, with this time limit becoming shorter if the strength of the fusion increases too much.
- Mafuba: Also known as the Evil Containment Wave, the Mafuba is a mystic sealing technique designed to seal evil away by sucking them into a special container with a "demon seal" ofuda on it. Goku learned this technique from Roshi, and attempted to use it to seal Future Zamasu, but used the wrong tag, allowing him to break free.
Goku is a master martial artist who has learned from many of his universe's greatest teachers, from his adoptive grandfather, Grandpa Gohan, Master Roshi, Korin, Kami, King Kai, and even Whis.
- Crazy Fist: A technique meant to distract and confuse an opponent, in which Goku acts like a wild, frenzied dog or monkey before striking his opponent while they're caught off guard.
- Dragonthrow: Goku's signature grapple, in which he grabs his opponent by the arm, tail, or antenna, and then spins them around before throwing them away.
- Eight-Arm Fist: A technique used to counter Tien Shinhan's Four Witches Technique and copied from King Chappa, in which Goku moves his arms so fast that he appears to have eight of them.
- Rock, Scissors, 'N' Paper: Goku's initial signature technique, was taught to him by his grandfather. After yelling "Jan Ken", Goku then follows up with either a strong punch (rock), a poke to the eyes (scissors), or an open palm strike (paper).
The physiology of a Saiyan, an aggressive warrior race of conquerors. Saiyans have the natural ability to control Ki and to fly, likely the origin of Goku's incredible skill when it comes to the usage and control of Ki. Additionally, while his lifespan is comparable to that of a human, Goku will remain at his peak strength for much longer. One of the most powerful abilities of a Saiyan is their ability to grow stronger and stronger through combat, allowing Goku to constantly push his limits during a fight and rise to far higher and far higher peaks in power. This ability grants a substantial boost in power when Goku is badly injured, allowing him to reach a whole new level of power once he recovers.
- Super Saiyan: The famous, legendary transformation of a Saiyan that allows them to greatly surpass their limits and reach the fabled state that is Super Saiyan. Goku was the first Super Saiyan to appear in Dragon Ball, achieving the state after Frieza survived his most powerful attack, killed his best friend, and was about to kill him and his son. These transformations can be reached through extensive training, but are more often unlocked in moments of intense emotional turmoil and need, and due to the natural aggressiveness of Saiyans, they cause the user to become more aggressive and malicious, though Goku has managed to make these things effectively a non-issue through training. While immensely powerful, Super Saiyan transformations drain a lot of energy, and the first was very inefficient before Goku mastered the state and became a "Full Power Super Saiyan", allowing him to maintain the form effectively indefinitely without issue. While the original Super Saiyan state is eclipsed in power by Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, the far higher forms become increasingly inefficient.
- Super Saiyan God: A divine transformation that far surpasses the regular numbered Super Saiyan transformations, achieved through a ritual involving six righteous Saiyans, or through rigorous divine training. Goku reached this form with the help of his family and friends so that he could oppose the God of Destruction Beerus and stop him from destroying Earth. In this form, Goku gains divine Ki and cannot be sensed by mortals, as well as the ability to absorb and nullify energy and Ki-based techniques. After achieving this form, Goku can transform into it whenever he wishes and retains some of the divine power even in his base state.
- Super Saiyan Blue: A form reached through the combination of Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan, greatly surpassing the power of a Super Saiyan God. Unlike other Super Saiyan transformations, this transformation requires a perfectly calm mind and flawless Ki control, allowing it to be used alongside Kaio-ken for various transformations.
- Ultra Instinct -Sign-: Also known as the Mastery of Self-Movement, Ultra Instinct -Sign- is a rare and fabled technique that Goku initially learned of from Whis, revolving around subconsciously avoiding attacks and disregarding his normal capacity to react. This allows him to effectively multitask, thinking up strategies while his body fights for him, fully maximizing his offensive and defensive capabilities, and as he doesn't need to think to fight, it also makes illusory techniques useless. Much faster opponents would still be able to bypass these defenses. Goku reaches this state in his Ultra Instinct -Sign- transformation, achieved after he was pushed to his absolute limits. He hasn't mastered the state, however, and cannot enter it willingly - instead, it activates when Goku is pushed to his limits. It is also harder for him to use this version of Ultra Instinct offensively, as he still has to think about the best method of attack, instead of simply intuiting it. This transformation is only temporary, and it has a great strain on Goku's body.
- Perfected Ultra Instinct: The problems exemplified with Ultra Instinct Omen, mainly that of not being able to fully utilize attack and defense, were a key factor in preventing Goku from fighting on an equal playing field with Jiren. However, by giving into the pure impulse and the heat which previously was his limit, Goku was able to fully break through his limits and reach past the state of the gods, something that not even Beerus has been able to do. In so doing, Goku reached the true Ultra Instinct form, with his hair and eyebrows matching his intense silver stare, and a great stream of white-purple energy erupting from his body. In this form, where he has mastered both instinctual attack and defense, he was easily able to blitz and injure Jiren, as well as nullify a full-powered strike meant to incapacitate him.
