Classification: Saiyan, Super Saiyan, Saiyan God
Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Limited Longevity (Known intergalactically as the "warrior race of the universe", Saiyans have evolved to remain in their physical prime for a long period of time. Their bodies remain child-like for several years before rapidly growing into their adult bodies,[1] and they age slowly after reaching their prime[2] in order to remain young and battle-ready for decades;[3] after reaching a certain age, however, they rapidly grow frail. Additionally, Saiyans have a longer lifespan[4] than humans)
- Possibly Self-Sustenance (Types 2 & 3; Didn't eat or sleep for 150 days straight while training[5])
- Enhanced Senses (Vision, Touch & Smell; Saiyans have exceptional senses, allowing them to locate small, distant objects[6] by tracking their smell[6] and see clearly over long distances.[7] Learning to evade bees in close proximity[8] is designed to sharpen the eyes[9] and the reflexes,[10] developing one's dynamic vision.[11] After training with Mr. Popo, capable of tracking the movements of others even in pitch-black conditions by feeling vibrations in the air[12][13][14])
- Transformation (Can transform into various normal Super Saiyan form, increasing his capabilities drastically; later from RoF Saga onward he can transform into Super Saiyan God & Super Saiyan Blue, increasing his capabilities astronomically)
- Master Martial Artist (The fundamentals of the Turtle School are basic, yet rigorous exercises[9] to instill heightened abilities within its students,[16] mastering and shaping the body and the mind[17] through concentration,[6] cardiovascular fitness,[17][8][8] reflex training,[8][10] and repetitive, drill-like disciplines[9] wearing 20kg and 40kg weights,[8][9] daily for eight months[8] from as early as 4:30 AM,[17] strengthening the back and legs,[10][9] the hands and waist,[10] and the entire body[10] beyond the limits of normal humans,[10] thus allowing its students[18] to effortlessly dominate[18] even the finest of martial artists,[19] including the likes of Nam,[20] even without proper combat training[18])
- Afterimage Creation (Shown here[21])
- Pressure Point Strikes (Shown here[22])
- Acrobatics (All-Terrain Mobility, Hypermobility & Self-Momentum; By strengthening the waist and legs[9] jogging,[17] delivering milk to areas only accessible by helicopter,[17][10] including across trees, quicksand, and rivers[17] and away from tyrannosaurus rexes,[9] and engaging in civil engineering,[10][8] whilst wearing 20kg and 40kg weights,[9][9][8][9] students of the Turtle School develop the strength and agility[9] required to leap "higher than the clouds" with minimal effort,[9][10][23] move around opponents with superhuman dexterity,[18][18][19][24] instantly springing into action,[20] easily regain balance and freely manipulate mid-air positioning,[25][23] and maintain altitude mid-combat[26] within the blink of an eye[25])
- Ki Manipulation (Master Level)
- Flight
- Energy & Ki Absorption (Via the Spirit Bomb[27])
- Ki Sensing (Can locate others by reading their ki, and detect malicious intent or difference in power levels, and beings in different dimensions)
- Damage Boost (The Kamehameha is the Turtle School's greatest technique that condenses[28] the body's inner energy into a single point to amplify the power for "tremendous damage"[29] making it a "super dangerous"[30] technique that can dish out "tremendous power".[31] The power of the technique naturally varies depending on the amount of energy condensed, with experienced users being able to fully control how powerful it is[32], at its strongest, it can scare[33][34][35], severely harm and[36][37][38] even completely annihilate[39][40] opponents who were comparable[41][42], or far superior[43][44][45][46], to the user prior[47][48] or in stronger forms[49][50])
- Shockwaves Generation (Can create powerful[51] shockwaves via Kiai[52] that can also cancel out Ki attacks[53])
- Statistics Amplification (Goku can greatly enhance his capabilities with Kaioken, by potentially up to twenty times)
- Dimensional Travel, Sound Manipulation, Space-Time Manipulation & Portal Creation (At this level of power[54] he can create dimensional rifts and destroy space-time and pocket dimensions[55] with his energy[55])

- Supernatural Willpower (Able to endure the Water of the Gods, a potent and deadly poison that requires tremendous stamina, will, and spirit to live.[59][60] Being able to use Kaioken far beyond King Kai's capability which can heavily damage and destroy the user's body[61])
- Enhanced Analytical Prediction (Can predict opponents based on movement,[62] when they are holding back,[63] sense malicious intent,[64] and feel small current of air[12][13][14])
- Telepathy (By sharpening his mind, Goku gained the supernatural ability of telepathy,[3] psychic communications ignoring all distances[3] enabling him to speak to others without his voice,[65] even intercepting conversations between the Living Universe and the Other World, despite his body being beaten and battered.[66] Additionally, he possesses a mysterious technique[3] that allows him to project himself onto others from beyond the grave,[67] albeit through the assistance of King Kai;[68] he scour the minds of others[69] by projecting his consciousness into their hearts through contact;[54] and his telepathic abilities can even be utilized while unconscious,[3] as he remained tuned in to the conflict with the Androids,[70] picking up on the initial defeat to Androids 17 and 18, Piccolo and Kami's fusion,[71] and even the existence of Cell,[72] despite never meeting the creature before)
- Stealth Mastery & Limited Perception Manipulation (With his sharpened spirit,[73] Goku mastered the ability of "[crouching] as quiet as the sky and [striking] quick than lightning",[12] dampening his presence completely[12] including scant air movements[74] and his footsteps[75] and erasing his own Ki; thus, allowing him to optimize his movements and elude the senses of opponents completely[76])
- 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)

Attack Potency: Solar System level (Stronger than his Buu Saga base form. Is 1/50th the strength of his Super Saiyan self[Statistics Values 1]), far higher with Super Saiyan forms (Believed he could defeat Super Perfect Cell and possibly contend with Kid Buu with Super Saiyan alone. Stronger with the ascended forms[Statistics Values 2]), Low Multiverse level with Super Saiyan God (Capable of shaking the macrocosm as well as eventually destroying it), Varies (The Kamehameha works by condensing one's Ki into a single point, the power of the move proportionally varying depending on how much power is condensed), up to far higher with Kamehameha (Nullified Beerus' Sphere of Destruction. The Kamehameha can get strong enough to completely annihilate beings far superior to the user) | Solar System level, far higher with Super Saiyan forms, Low Multiverse level with Super Saiyan Blue (The Super Saiyan Blue form is characterized as a "Super Saiyan with the power of a Super Saiyan God," akin to "the Super Saiyan form that has adopted the power of a God," a concept consistently reiterated. Consequently, it is asserted to be at least fifty times more potent than the Super Saiyan God form), Varies, up to far higher with Kamehameha | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Forms (Stronger than before after 3 years of training, contending with Hit in Super Saiyan God who previously defeat Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta; continue to get stronger with various trainings and battles in later saga), even higher with Completed Super Saiyan Blue (As a Completed Super Saiyan Blue, he could use all 100% of his power and contend with Fusion Zamasu who previously need Vegito to deal with), Varies, up to far higher with Kamehameha (Punctured a huge whole in Fusion Zamasu, who is comparable to his Completed Super Saiyan Blue state, as a normal Super Saiyan Blue), can ignore durability with Hakai (Goku nearly disintegrate and erase Fusion Zamasu) | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Forms (Stronger than before, comparable to Toppo who is one of strongest fighter of Universe 11, only lost because of letting his guard down), even higher with Power-Stressed Form (Can enter a power stressed form similar to Kaioken for even more power, surprised Jiren), far higher with Ultra Instinct Omen and Perfected Ultra Instinct (Capable of contending with Jiren who is stronger than the God of Destruction of Universe 11, Belmod, who should be comparable to the likes of Champa and Beerus who were going to destroy Universe 7 in their fight. Dominated Jiren before he power-up to his full power. According to Goku, he would have been eventually able to defeat Jiren had the form been able to last longer), Varies, up to far higher with Kamehameha, can ignore durability with Hakai | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Forms (Significantly stronger than before. After training with Merus he fought Original Power Moro and easily dominated 7-3 Moro in Perfected Ultra Instinct form. Could even fight on par with Moro after he had copied Merus's powers), Varies, up to far higher with Kamehameha (Destroyed the arm of 7-3 Moro when firing his Kamehameha as a Completed Super Saiyan Blue, who was far superior to himself even in his superior Ultra Instinct -Sign- form), can ignore durability with Hakai | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Forms (Considerably stronger than before. Effortlessly dominated a Granolah clone who had some power from his real self. Later on in the arc as a Super Saiyan Blue he was able to somewhat keep up with Granolah after awakening his right eye, and after being healed by Vegeta he fought a causal Awakened Powered Gas for awhile before getting pressured. In Perfect Ultra Instinct he could fight and contend with a more serious Gas alongside Ultra Ego Vegeta. After unlocking True Ultra Instinct, he became a little stronger than Gas and was able to compete with him in his zombie-like state), Varies, up to far higher with Kamehameha, can ignore durability with Hakai
Speed: Massively FTL+, higher with Super Saiyan Forms (At least somewhat comparable to the speeds he showed as a Super Saiyan 3 back in the Majin Buu arc as a regular Super Saiyan), far higher with Super Saiyan God (Far above Super Saiyan Vegito, fought a casual Beerus, but still forced him to use more power than he could remember he has done in a long time, despite being able to fly through astronomical distances normally) | Massively FTL+, far higher with Super Saiyan Blue (Much faster than before) | Massively FTL+ (Faster than before after 3 years of training), far higher with God Forms (Outmatched Hit, until he powered up further. Easily blitzed Zamasu using Super Saiyan God) | Massively FTL+ (Faster than before), far higher with God Forms and with Ultra Instinct -Sign- and Perfected Ultra Instinct (Managed to blitz suppressed Jiren, and kept pace with full power Jiren) | Massively FTL+ (Faster than before), far higher with God Forms (Faster than before. Kept up with Moro) | Massively FTL+ (Faster than before), far higher with God Forms (Faster than before. Kept up with Granolah. Was able to keep up with Awakened Powered Gas as a Super Saiyan Blue. After using True Ultra Instinct, Goku was able to overwhelm Gas)

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. After defeating Frieza, he continuously meditated for 150 days while training on. Can engage in combat in low oxygen environments) | Superhuman as a Super Saiyan God | Superhuman as a Super Saiyan Blue (Originally Super Sayian Blue caused a lot of strain on Goku that made him unable to keep the form for long. This forced Goku to switch between Super Sayian God and Super Sayian Blue in rapid succession. Goku overcame this strain caused by the transformation over time) | Superhuman with Ultra Instinct (Although Goku fought for a short time, he is still capable of engaging in ultra-high-speed combat at performance levels greater than his previous limit during that short time. Even after he times out of the transformation, he is capable of standing combat-ready) | Superhuman with Ultra Instinct (In the Moro Arc, Goku is capable of using Ultra Instinct -Sign- longer and at will. Even though he was being drained Goku was still capable of performing at peak levels in high-speed combat for extended periods than when he last used it) | Superhuman with Ultra Instinct (After training a lot, the form lasted far longer against Granolah as Goku only dropped out of the form because of a vital strike)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks, Low Multiversal with Instant Transmission and with ki-based attacks as a Super Saiyan God, and after absorbing the form's power into his base form | Standard Melee Range, Low Multiversal with ki-based attacks (The shock waves of his blows can travel across the entire universe), Instant Transmission, and telepathy | Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with Hakai, Low Multiversal with Instant Transmission, ki-based attacks, and telepathy | Same as before.
Standard Equipment: The Zen'ō Button.
- Optional Equipment: 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. 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, capable of adapting to situations very quickly, devising new applications of his techniques on the fly, such as using Kamehameha with his feet. His intelligence allows him to predict the very movements of other skilled fighters even when they use Time Stop such as Hit. Overcame his stamina weakness as a Super Saiyan Blue with his intellect, by rapidly changing between Super Saiyan God and Blue. Mastered the Super Saiyan Blue transformation in the middle of a fight against God Zamasu. Copied Hakai, a special technique belonging solely to Gods of Destruction, and even though Goku claimed that he messed up the technique, he still managed to replicate its effect and nearly erase God Zamasu if not for Zamasu using Mai as hostage. In the tournament of power, Goku was able to master Ultra Instinct, which was deemed impossible for mortal to achieve, as even the highest of gods of destruction find it difficult to do it. These same gods have been alive for over hundreds of millions of years and have yet to achieve Ultra Instinct, and despite this Goku managed to achieve the form within a mere 45 minutes)
Weaknesses: Goku seeks strong opponents and therefore will allow his opponents to reach their full power for the sake of a good fight. 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. The Evil Containment Wave requires a suitable container to seal the target into and drains a large amount of ki, the latter of which could kill him if he lacks sufficient ki. In Battle of Gods, he can't transform into Super Saiyan God by himself, requires a ritual to achieve the form, but later he can transform into both Super Saiyan God and Blue by himself | Lacks mastery over Hakai, needs time to charge up and executing the technique, and the effect is slow, which allowed Zamasu to recover from panicking and react. However, this partially goes away in the Moro arc, where he can deconstruct a border instantly in Perfect Ultra Instinct. Completed Super Saiyan Blue heavily strains his body at first, but later he has trained this away. His Power Stressed Form is essentially a weaker counterpart to the Kaioken, offering significantly more damage to his body from use, can't transform into Ultra Instinct -Sign- and Perfected Ultra Instinct at will. Ultra Instinct originally lasted seconds before reverting to his base form | After training with Merus, Goku can transform and keep up his Ultra Instinct -Sign- for much longer, but it still drains his stamina rapidly. Later he can transform into Perfected Ultra Instinct, although it still requires great effort | Can now willingly transform into Perfected Ultra Instinct much easier, but the accuracy decreases over time, as stated by Granolah.
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 a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts and beams of energy from different parts of the body or used to create defensive barriers, explosions and shockwaves. 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.
![]()
Son 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, and even King Kai.
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 own incredible skill when it comes to the usage and control of ki. In addition, 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 own limits during a fight and rise to higher and 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.
A form that increases Goku's capabilities an extreme amount and giving him instinctive reactions and allowing him to surpass the Gods of Destruction themselves. In the manga's interpretation, it seems that Goku might be able to access this form with significantly more ease, however, the transformation also lasts significantly less time. After training with Merus and honing his body, Goku has become able to enter and sustain the Ultra Instinct with ease, allowing him to fight better and for an extended period of time. While in this form, Goku's body automatically grows sturdier as necessary in response to enemy attacks. During his training to hone Ultra Instinct even more, Whis revealed that Goku must learn how to use it without having to rely on a transformation, which should be used only when he needs to surpass his limits. Mastering the Ultra Instinct in his normal form would allow him to be free from the stamina drain that creates a time limit. After further training, Goku apparently managed to achieve his objective and demonstrated the ability to dodge instinctively even in his base form.
