| “ | 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. | „ |

| “ | 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! | „ |

| “ | 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. | „ |
| ~ Son 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. | „ |
| ~ Son 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 it's time... to PAAAAAAAY! | „ |
| ~ Son Goku to Zamasu and Goku Black |
| “ | Actually, it's a bit different. It's a little confusing and hard to explain, but... I'm the Saiyan with the powers of a Super Saiyan God who is Super Saiyan. | „ |
| ~ Son Goku to Frieza upon turning Super Saiyan Blue |
| “ | It worked. The power of Super Saiyan Blue combined with Kaioken! If I made a mistake while doin' this, I might've ended up dying. But it looks like I was able to perfectly control it. The Kaioken... is my trump card! | „ |
| ~ Son Goku to Hit |
| “ | 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. | „ |

| “ | HERE GOES, JIREN! | „ |
| ~ Son Goku alongside Vegeta as they power up against Jiren |
| “ | 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 Son Goku's Ultra Instinct |
| “ | The truth is, I ain't no hero of justice or anything else like that. But anyone who tries to hurt my friends... is GONNA PAAAAAYYYYYY!!! | „ |

- Enhanced Accelerated Development (Battle & Training, Physical Stats & Abilities; As a Saiyan, Goku grows stronger every time he fights and can become stronger in the midst of combat, vastly increasing in strength whenever he is mortally injured. Their innate instincts as Saiyans allow for rapid growth in strength and ability, providing the potential for strength development through training that allows them to adapt and learn new techniques quickly)

All previous abilities massively enhanced, plus:
- Acausality (Type 4; Super Saiyan God is stated to be an actual God.[108][109][110][111][112] Beings at the level of a God work with a different logic of causality,[113] despite Dragon Ball's cosmology solving time paradoxes by branching timeline into a new one to accommodate any changes in the past while still keeping the future unchanged[114])
- Limited Causality Manipulation (Beings at the level of a God do not follow the typical logic of causality, these characters have the capability to alter history in ways mortals can't.[113] Effectively alter history despite Dragon Ball's cosmology solving time paradoxes by branching timeline into a new one to accommodate any changes in the past while still keeping the future unchanged[114])

Resistance to:
All previous abilities greatly enhanced, plus:
- Fire Manipulation (Can release blue flames to block various attacks[149])
- Minor Enhanced Power Nullification (Completely nullified Jiren's Ki blast[150])
- Greater Instinctive Action (Perfected Ultra Instinct is an advanced and refined stage of Ultra Instinct that Goku attains after surpassing his previous limits. This form allows Goku to move and fight automatically, without conscious thought or delays, effectively mastering both instinctual attack and defense. Achieving this state enables him to avoid crises and fight with exceptional efficiency[151])
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[Statistics Values 1]) | 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 Kaioken x10 on top of Super Saiyan Blue[Statistics Values 1]) | 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.[125] Upon going past his limits, he could replicate Vegeta and Trunks' feat by himself and knock down Fusion Zamasu with Kaioken.[121] Stalemated a stronger Hit with just Super Saiyan Blue, without using Kaioken, 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 Kaioken x20[Statistics Values 1]) | Low Multiverse level (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,[71] which was completely unaffected by the fight between three Gods of Destruction,[152] with a fight between two Gods of Destruction being taboo[66] since it will result in the destruction of two universes, each of which consists of 6 space-time continuums[138][Statistics Values 2]) | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Transformations (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 Evolution[Statistics Values 2]) | 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[Statistics Values 2]) | Low Multiverse level (Stronger than before, as he has been training with Vegeta for a while, and most recently with Broly[Statistics Values 2]), far higher with God Transformations (By the time of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Goku is touted as being on a similar level to Orange Piccolo, who can fight against Cell Max)
Speed: Massively FTL+ (Comparable to the speed of the explosion from the ki sphere which Super Saiyan God Goku and Beerus created in their final clash, which threatened to engulf the entire universe in mere moments. Likely at least 946 octillion c, by the time of Resurrection F) | Massively FTL+ (Has become a lot faster through rigorous God training and becoming Super Saiyan Blue, can be even faster with Kaioken[Statistics Values 3]) | Massively FTL+ (Has become even faster than before[Statistics Values 4]) | Massively FTL+ (Completely blitzed both Toppo and Dyspo and was able to keep up to a casual Jiren[Statistics Values 5]) | Massively FTL+ (When he turned Ultra Instinct -Sign- once more, he completely blitzed Super Saiyan 2 Kefla[Statistics Values 6]) | Massively FTL+ (Much faster than before. Kept pace with full power Jiren and after achieving Perfected Ultra Instinct, he was shown to be able to blitz a full powered Jiren and keep up with his limit broken state[Statistics Values 7]) | Massively FTL+ (Faster than before)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Can lift this much[Statistics Values 8]) | At least Class M | At least Class M (Stronger than before) to Class T (Endured Pretty Black Hole's gravitational pull[141][Statistics Values 9]) | At least Class T | At least Class T, far higher with God Transformations | At least Class T | At least Class T, far higher with God Transformations
Striking Strength: Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Transformations | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Transformations
Durability: Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Transformations | Low Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Transformations
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 Kaioken x4, and ultimately outlasting the latter even after being effortlessly beaten around, pushing himself to his limits with Kaioken, 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, Extraordinary 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. As a child, he was able to beat martial artists on such a level as Grandpa Gohan, who was stated to be an unparalleled master in all martial arts. In his battle with Master Roshi, he copied his Drunken Fist style to adapt to it and created his own style known as the "Crazy Fist" in response. 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 and subsidizing the need to reach a higher grade, which decreases speed as a side effect. 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. Was able to go toe to toe with Cell, a being created by the genius scientist Dr. Gero to be the ultimate warrior, spending 20 years taking the DNA and footage of every fighter on earth and on Namek, copying their techniques, their mannerisms, and their skills to create him, including Goku himself, also having knowledge on how he approaches battle as well. 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-Skip, he was able to predict the movements he'd make in the 0.1 seconds of skipped time and react properly, beating a technique that for over 1000 years was completely unstoppable, even as Hit was constantly improving said technique in battle. Immediately figured out how to use a Ki blast to resurrect himself after he was killed by Hit. Goku mastered Ultra Instinct, a technique even the Gods of Destruction have deemed a difficult task, with none of them stating to have mastered it, including Beerus, despite being hundreds of millions of years older with experience as a God of Destruction. He also had performed such a feat in less than 48 minutes and is the only mortal in all 12 universes to have mastered the technique. He can rely 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. In all of Universe 7, he is among the most skilled warriors to exist, superior to master martial artists such as Master Roshi, Piccolo, the Kais, and only rivaled by Vegeta, being labeled as one of the only few who can entertain Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7. Among all 12 universes, he is one of if not the most skilled fighter, superior to many other master-level warriors and beings thousands up to millions of years older than him, being stated to have surpassed the gods. Was able to fight Broly after he adapted to Super Saiyan God Vegeta with only Super Saiyan, being able to keep up through sheer skill despite the power difference)
Weaknesses: Goku seeks strong opponents and will, therefore allowing his opponents to reach their full power for the sake of a good fight. Kaioken 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 Evil Containment Wave 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.
 
 
 
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.
  
 
 
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.

- ↑ Note: Due to the vast amount of inconsistencies between various feats, statements, and information given about Time-Skip, such as the mechanics explained by Vados and Whis, (that it is merely limited Time Travel that stores time) being directly contradicted on multiple occasions, including feats like freezing Goku in time (twice), Hit's own words, and Word of God, or what even qualifies as Time-Skip, as Tides of Time (Hit's Dimension-Shift) was initially stated not to be, but this was contradicted later in the Tournament of Power, or regarding how Time-Skip has a reliant Dimension connected to it for Time Storage contradicts Hit's testimony regarding how he never made Time-Skip do more than its initial basic function before, (and the basic mechanics, as he needs to skip time first to then store it, contradicting even that description), etc. has created a patchwork of incoherence. Due to this, and how the Time Freezing and Travelling related parts of the ability must both be simultaneously true for the plot of the Dragon Ball Super Anime to make sense (as Vados/Whis explanation is the sole reason he has his greater Time Dimension abilities thoughout the Assassination Arc and the Tournament of Power, and he needs the abilities to also specifically be Time Stop for certain major plot sequences, like Time Cage, {a Time Stop ability which is explicitly described as "Time-Skip in Reverse"} to affect Jiren), as well as the fact they are used interchangeably at several points, our community has decided to index the ability as both Time Travel and Time Stop, and to simply reconcile the best we can by ignoring these glaring contradictions to get the most accurate listing of Hit's ability. As such, Goku's ability to get around these abilities will be indexed as they would be if this inconsistency did not exist. This includes immeasurable speed, (as it is through raw speed that Goku uses to meet Hit in his limited travel through time), which we accept as an Outlier. This is due to multiple reasons, such as how it contradicts elements in the series like travel time between points (as combat speed and travel speed are often directly connected in Dragon Ball) or Goku's reliance on Instant Transmission, (as if he was immeasurable, he could simply run to locations), or how it contradicts the most blatant setpiece of all, the Tournament of Power (which occurs across 48 minutes. If everyone was fighting at immeasurable speeds, or even individual characters, this could not be possible).
