Summary
Son Goku (孫悟空 Son Gokū) is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball metaseries. 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 departing five years to train Uub, Goku returns to his loved ones only to be reverted back to his child form by a wish from King Pilaf, using the Black Star Dragon Balls. To prevent them from destroying the Earth, Goku must travel across the galaxy to retrieve them and return them to Earth, and, in the process, ultimately comes to face many more worthy opponents.

Name: Son Goku, Kakarot
Origin: Dragon Ball GT
Age: 53 (49 physically, 12 after Pilaf's wish) - 54 (13 physically) years old | 153 years old
Gender: Male
Classification: Saiyan
Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Master Martial Artist (The fundamentals of the Turtle School are basic, yet rigorous exercises[1] to instill heightened abilities within its students,[2] mastering and shaping the body and the mind[3] through concentration,[4] cardiovascular fitness,[3][5][5] reflex training,[5][6] and repetitive, drill-like disciplines[1] wearing 20kg and 40kg weights,[5][1] daily for eight months[5] from as early as 4:30 AM,[3] strengthening the back and legs,[6][1] the hands and waist,[6] and the entire body[6] beyond the limits of normal humans,[6] thus allowing its students[7] to effortlessly dominate[7] even the finest of martial artists,[8] including the likes of Nam,[9] even without proper combat training[7])
- Afterimage Creation (Shown here[10])
- Pressure Point Strikes (Shown here[11])
- Acrobatics (All-Terrain Mobility, Hypermobility & Self-Momentum; By strengthening the waist and legs[1] jogging,[3] delivering milk to areas only accessible by helicopter,[3][6] including across trees, quicksand, and rivers[3] and away from tyrannosaurus rexes,[1] and engaging in civil engineering,[6][5] whilst wearing 20kg and 40kg weights,[1][1][5][1] students of the Turtle School develop the strength and agility[1] required to leap "higher than the clouds" with minimal effort,[1][6][12] move around opponents with superhuman dexterity,[7][7][8][13] instantly springing into action,[9] easily regain balance and freely manipulate mid-air positioning,[14][12] and maintain altitude mid-combat[15] within the blink of an eye[14])
- Ki Manipulation (Can be used defensively and offensively, to strengthen his skin or to fire ki blasts, which he can control telekinetically to home in on targets, and form defensive barriers that render absorption ineffective, or use his Aura to keep out attacks and foreign substances, can also redirect, suppress and nullify others' ki blasts, can alter the weather by powering up, and those who try to use their senses on practioners have their perception manipulated. Additionally, using Ki requires a totally relaxed state that is cleared even beyond stillness as well as emptying the mind, and despite this to use totally effectively also be capable of feeling various emotions capable of complex thought for strategies in the midst of combat.)
- Ki Transferance & Healing (Gave Frieza his Ki to float and survive, brought a bird back from the brink of death through granting it Ki in Cooler's Revenge, should scale above the rest of the Son Family and Trunks, who was able to gift Ki and 'Saiya Power' to him. Scales above the Z-Fighters, who have given Piccolo their Ki against Frieza, as well as given Ki to Goku to beat both Broly and Lord Slug in their respective films.)
- Ki Sensing (Can locate others by simply reading their ki, can track others movement via maintaining a tight grasp on their Ki, as well as their precise movements via disturbances in their own energy as well as the world around them, detect malicious intent, difference in power levels, and beings in different dimensions. This works even on those who suppress their Ki, as even basic movements release energy to be noted, and those who have gone beyond that and detects those who are capable of total energy suppression, which usually totally cloaks your presence, hiding you from perception and removes even those tiny releases of Ki. Goku's goes one step further, allowing him to sense the energy of those who have mastered Energy and Presence Suppression to the degree that they can hide from other experts in Earthling Ki Sensory, like Trunks.)
- 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. They age slowly after reaching their prime[16] in order to remain young and battle-ready for decades;[17] after reaching a certain age, however, they rapidly grow frail. Additionally, Saiyans have a longer lifespan[18] than humans),
- Limited Perception Manipulation & Stealth Mastery (Those who try to observe practioners of Ki cannot observe the truth of their actions. When mastering Ki Suppression to the utmost extent, you erase your presence from others. With his sharpened spirit,[19] Goku mastered the ability of "[crouching] as quiet as the sky and [striking] quick than lightning",[20] dampening his presence completely[20] including scant air movements[21] and his footsteps[22] and erasing his own Ki; thus, allowing him to optimize his movements and elude the senses of opponents completely[23])
- Enhanced Senses and Greater Enhanced Senses (Saiyans have exceptional senses, allowing them to locate small, distant objects[24] by tracking their smell[24] and see clearly over long distances[25], and with further honing of his abilities through martial arts training can track the movements of others[26] by feeling vibrations in the air)
- Instinctive Action (After training with Mr. Popo, was capable of moving instinctively for evasion and offensive combat maneuvers. Unconsciously and instinctively absorbed the Spirit Bomb, instinctively teleported and saved Gohan from death against Bojack. Should scale above Vegeta, who instinctively and unconsciously gave his power to Goku to defeat Broly.)
- Reactive Evolution & Enhanced Accelerated Development (Training & Battle, 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[27]. This goes so far as to grant him more power after being revived, as even resurrection grants him a Zenkai Boost. Merely knowing of Cell being able to absorb others allowed Goku to immediately adapt and counter it, preventing it from ever working on him. Is a "Super Warrior" who gets stronger every time he fights.)
- Power Mimicry (Can easily replicate and improve other fighting techniques, abilities, and Martial Arts of others after seeing them once. Copied the Kamehameha, which takes 50 years to master with just a glance, as well as adapted and improved it repeatedly over time, using it in a unique variety of ways. Did the same with the Solar Flare, Eight-Arm Fist, Destructo Disk, and Afterimage Techniques, the last of which he improved with his own unique variation. After experiencing Whirlwind Spin, copied it easily and was beating the original user of it, Oceanus Shenron. Replicated the Final Explosion off of just the knowledge that Vegeta utilized the move, as he never saw it. Should be as good as copying as Vegeta, who was capable of copying the high-end Energy Sensory of Earthlings, something that's not capable of being seen or detected conventionally, just from the knowledge that the Z-Fighters and Goku themselves could use the skill.)
- Weapon Mastery (Of the Power Pole)
- Positive Energy (Due to having Plus Energy. Goku's passive Plus Energy flowing within his body undid the Negative Energy that corrupted Nuova Shenron's mind and Ki. Negative Energy is energy born from distortions and warping the Laws of Nature, and Plus Energy is the Energy of Justice, what Nature should be, nullifying that Negative Energy and thus returning those Laws to normal.)
- Transformation (Can transform into the first three forms of Super Saiyan, greatly magnifying his powers.)
- Damage Boost (Can increase the power of his attacks[28] by concentrating his ki into a single point to do more damage)
- Analytical Prediction & Information Analysis (Can read opponents movements, predicting their attacks after seeing through their Martial Arts, can tell when someone is holding holding back, as well as read how strong someone is, even without Ki Sensing, once predicted where an enemy would teleport without even using Ki. Could tell that Piccolo was under mind control. Should scale above Gohan, who was able to detect the extrananous Ki of Baby within Goten's Ki, as well as Vegeta, who could detect something was wrong in Gohan and that Baby was a Tuffle. Can distinguish race in Ki, such as a Saiyan's, like when he tracked Broly across the shattered South Galaxy.)
- Limited Body Control (Was able to suck up tears back into his eyes.)
- Minor Air Manipulation (Goku manages to slow his movement in the air by using his breath)
- Supernatural Willpower (Able to endure poison that takes immense will and spirit to survive.[29]. Can use the Kaioken, a technique that severely destroys the body beyond the level of King Kai. Continued fighting after having both his arms and legs broken, twice. His Fighting Spirit can be concentrated into his fist, creating a giant golden dragon of devastation-The Super Dragon Fist.)
- Light Manipulation & Non-Combat Applicable Light Manipulation (Can create flashes of light via Solar flare to blind opponents and Super Saiyan forms can generate light in pitch-black condition, can utilize the Kamehameha Wave, which creates a light blue glow that illuminates his surroundings.)
- Shockwave Generation (Can create gusts of wind with his punches to blow others back, as well as powerful shockwaves via Kiai that can also cancel out Ki attacks)
- Flight, Spaceflight & Limited Space Survival (Should be capable of space survival feats of other Saiyans, like Vegeta traveling between celestial bodies, Bardock fighting in low orbit and the upper atmosphere of Planet Vegeta, Broly and Paragus flying in an asteroid belt, as well as Nappa and Vegeta floating above the space dust of a destroyed planet laughing.)
- Dimensional Travel, Sound Manipulation, Space-Time Manipulation & Portal Creation (At this level of power he can create dimensional rifts and destroy space-time and pocket dimensions with his energy. He can apply this in combat, shattering dimensions with his Kamehameha.)
- Heat Generation & Fire Manipulation (Ki generates heat as a natural byproduct, can be utilized as blue fire. In Fusion Reborn his Ki-Blasts once bisected caused a torrent of flames that consumed the battlefield. Other Ki Users like Saiyan Saga Vegeta was able to utilize a fireball as a form of Ki Blast.)
- Telekinesis, Telepathy & Limited Astral Projection (Can telepathically communicate with others and read minds, lifted a pyramid up telekinetically, as well as water in a cup, can project Kiais from his mind to attack in battle, should have telepathy ignoring distances like his manga counterpart, allowing him to communicate without his mouth, intercept others' telepathic communication across Otherworld and the Living World whilst battered in the midst of combat, like his manga self he's capable of projecting himself onto others like Gohan, albeit with King Kai's aid, and later did it again to perform the Family Kamehameha once he was aided by Shenron. Read Krillin's mind and memories with naught but a touch, these abilities are even active while he's asleep, allowing him awareness of things happening such as Kami and Piccolo fusing, Cell's existence despite never meeting him, and more. This also allows him to see these events and true happenings occurring even when afflicted by Nightmares caused by the Heart Virus. Should be comparable to Piccolo, whose telepathy allowed communication across dimensions into the Room of Spirit and Time. Decades later, Goku was able to telepathically communicate and plan with Nuova Shenron whilst Nuova was within his body as a corrupted Dragon Ball, was able to communicate with Pan telepathically despite her being absorbed, showing he retained his abilities in his new body)
- Teleportation, BFR & Dimensional Travel (Via Instant Transmission, however in his child body he can only short distances in the same dimension. When empowered, can break through his body's limitations and teleport normally as he did in his previous adult body. When empowered by another's energy, he can break past this limit and teleport normally, albeit likely temporarily. Instant Transmission sends you into another dimension of inconsistent appearance. This dimension is a subspace that transcends time, a part of the overarching Subspace that has no concept of space and time, allowing Goku to travel to new locations instantaneously. He can also fight whilst doing so, attacking others from this Dimension whilst they themselves cannot attack him.)
- Statistics Amplification (Goku can greatly enhance his capabilities with Kaioken, by up to one hundred times his normal level. Is capable of combining the Kaioken with the amp he gets from Super Saiyan, and likely can do so with all of his forms.)
- Rage Power
- Electricity Manipulation and Paralysis Inducement (As a Super Saiyan 3, he constantly releases electric bolts in all directions, should scale above Super Perfect Cell's aura capabilities as a superior Ki User, which could do electric damage. Even before he became a Super Saiyan, his physical blows caused electrical damage, and he can use this in his Super Saiyan forms, to such a degree it causes temporary paralysis. He can create an aura of electricity.),
- Radiation Absorption & Empowerment (Toei Saiyans can absorb Blutz Waves into their bodies, which not only allows them to transform into the Great Ape and Golden Great Ape for power boosts, spontaneously transforming without their Tails, but also acts as literal energy for them to siphon and be empowered by)
- Explosion Manipulation (With the Great Ape and Super Dragon Fist, he makes his opponents explode.)
- Danmaku
- Fusionism (With the Fusion Dance)
- Adaptation (Can adapt to gravity).
- Non-Physical Interaction (Intangibility & Souls; Should scale above Piccolo's Ki Usage, which allowed him to harm the intangible souls in Otherworld and can fight the Ghost Warriors, who are made of Destron Gas.)
- Social Influencing (Charisma & Instigating Fear; Was able to turn an evil henchmen good and assist him within the span of an episode. Stated to have the natural aura of a Father. Merely standing still instigated fear within Jeice, forcing him to stop his attack and fly away. When he was younger, this same thing also caused others to be intimidated and exert massive amounts of energy and will to even approach. Demon King Piccolo, a being of utter evil, could only see Goku as the gigantic monster within, the Great Ape thanks to his Saiyan Heritage, Piccolo Junior being around him automatically was able to notice the lack of it in exchange for uncanny gentle fighting spirit, and when they locked eyes his body instinctively shivered in fear, detecting Goku's extraordinary nature. Later, in combat, the beastly sight returned once Goku started using his dormant powers. Saiyans are also repeatedly stated to have what appears to be an infinite or bottomless quality to their energy, a trait that is known as their Saiya Power, something that seems to inspire fear and make the opponent genuinely believe their Ki reserves are infinite when they are actually finite.)
- Non-Combat Applicable Precognition (Goku saw an uncontrolled minor premonition of the Saiyans in the form of a nightmare)
Resistance to:
- Cosmic Radiation & Extreme Cold (Should be capable of absorbing over 17 Million Blutz Waves to transform into a Great Ape without ill effects.[30] Can fight in the upper atmosphere where radiation levels are exceedingly high.[31] Can travel in space, which is cold and filled with radiations[32]),
- Harsh Temperatures (Survived and trained extensively for at least a year within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, which has temperatures that range from -40°F to 248°F),
- Poison Manipulation & Cellular Destruction (Survived after drinking the Water of the Gods. Should have a superior immune system to normal humans like Krillin, who survived what would typically fatal Pufferfish poisoning. Later was shown to be resistant to the Destron Gas, a substance that causes death and rotting on the cellular level and impedes use of Ki, as he later overcame that affect on his body. However, despite the fact he would survive much longer than most and his overcoming of the nullification of Ki Use, he was still going to die in seventy days.)
- Sleep Manipulation (During the Anime Saiyan Saga, he resisted the sleep-inducing foods from the Princess Snake, but was put to sleep by a magic potion),
- Heat Manipulation (Survived Pilaf gang's flamethrower attack, withstood a point-blank jet engine thrust from General Blue's jet and Red Ribbon Army's weapons, unaffected by lava, was unharmed by the Snake Princess' pot, which she said was capable of boiling men alive. Can exist near the heat of 6000 degrees C and only catch fire.)
- Acid Manipulation (Wasn't harmed much by Buu's enzymes, though it did cause him pain),
- Paralysis Inducement (Managed to get out of Frieza's Imprisonment Ball at the last moment).
- Electricity Manipulation (Great Ape was completely resistant to Elecroshock Surprise, as a child he survived Pirate Robot's electric attack underwater)
- Absorption (Biological; Was able to extract himself from Toei Cell's absorption in base form)
- Information Analysis (Was stated to have power unable to be calculated, and it was confirmed this was neither limitation of machinery or malfunction. His Ki has an infinite or boundless quality to it, making those that sense him believe his energy is genuinely bottomless.).
Due to his pure heart, Goku is immune to the effects of the Devilmite Beam from Spike that kills the person who has evil in their heart.
Limited Resistance to:
- Disease Manipulation, Biological Manipulation, Possession (Physical), Body Control & Corruption (Type 1; As a Saiyan, he should scale above and have Trunks' ability to utilize Ki to force Baby out of his body with Saiyan Power, and cease his virus-based possession that turns his victims into Tuffles, though Baby eventually developed enough to bypass this defense within the Saiyans, and when Trunks rejected Baby the parasite still had enough hold to lay his eggs within him to remotely trigger and infect him again later. However, even that new and improved Baby still was initially resisted by GT Vegeta for a few moments to have a full blown conversation before becoming Baby's permanent body.)
Possibly Resistance to:
- Limited Durability Negation (As part of what makes up Vegito and grants him his skills, possibly has his ability to utilize Ki to protect his insides, limiting and controlling internal attacks and movements against him.}
- Bodily Weaponry (Sometime between the three-year time-skip in between the Uranai Baba and Tenkaichi Budokai Sagas, Kid Goku loses its weakness by training his tail, Goku should still have this advantage after regrowing his tail. He can also use it for combat or hover in the air.)
- Enhanced Teleportation, BFR & Dimensional Travel (As a Super Saiyan 4, his Instant Tranmission is restored to it's full power, capable of allowing him to move vast distances across space and across dimensions. This is to such a degree that Goku can teleport thousands of people at once.)
- Enhanced Transformation (Can transform into an Great Ape or Golden Great Ape under the full Moon, or when overflowing with Blutz Waves, giving him more abilities. Can turn into a Super Saiyan 4 and it's variations, magnifying his abilities and turning into his physical prime.)
- Large Size (Type 1)
- Berserk Mode
- Breath Attack
- Enhanced Accelerated Development (As a Golden Great Ape, his Ki is constantly rising.)
- Enhanced Ki Manipulation (Once a Saiyan regains their Tail, their ability to regulate Ki is massively enhanced, removing the drain of Super Saiyan forms almost entirely and amplifying precision. As a Super Saiyan 4, Goku's techniques are enhanced, such as regaining the full capacity of Instant Transmission, or the Times Ten Kamehameha.)
- Reactive Evolution (As a Super Saiyan 4 his body was able to memorize his opponent's techniques, and render them useless),
- Aura (Heat, Construct} (Goku implied he could passively cause severe burns as a Full Power Super Saiyan 4. As a Super Full Power Super Saiyan 4, his Aura manifested as that of the Golden Great Ape.)
- Regeneration (Low; Over time, regained his sight after he was blinded by Eis Shenron. Seemingly regenerated from cuts made by Naturon Shenron)
- Ki Manipulation Absorption (Was able to absorb the Revenge Death Ball Final to grow in power. Absorbed the Ki of the Son Family to recharge to his Full Power, did so again later to exceed it and gain his Super Full Power State, getting even more powerful.)
All previous resistances, plus Enhanced Resistance to:
- Electricity Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (By turning Super Saiyan 4, Goku's resistance to Rage Shenron's lightning attacks increased, and so too did Goku's resistance to the level of heat generated by Nuova Shenron.)
Limited Resistance to:
- Age Manipulation (Super Saiyan 4 grants someone their peak physical condition while it lasts, changing their physical age)
- Space-Time Manipulation (Tanked and absorbed the Revenge Death Ball, a technique that warps space, redirecting Shin's Kai Kai, a less restricted version of Instant Tranmission, which puts the user in the time-transcendent Subspace.)
All previous abilities plus:
- Enhanced Heat Generation (<-40°C; His modified Ki Barrier after his body adapted to Eis Shenron's ice abilities now generates more heat to melt "extremely cold" ice when hit with the freezing technique of Eis Shenron, whose ice is immune to being melted by "conventional heat". Considering Goku can resist the cold temperatures of the Room of Spirit and Time, the ice he is melting must be significantly below -40°F.)
- Wind Barrier Creation, Enhanced Limited Perception Manipulation & Wind Manipulation (Copied Oceanus Shenron's Wind Vortex move, which through high speed movement as well as wind control allows the creation of barriers, seemingly ceasing of wind movements nearby, as well as alteration of the perception of his appearance, even to Ki Users. His is also superior to the original, as when it clashed with Oceanus Shenron's original iteration his turned out to be stronger, forcing her to switch to moving faster to a degree that prevented his movements, which he then claimed would be easy to beat had she stopped spinning),
- Self-Destruction (Performed a Self-Destruct against Super 17, and started to do so against Omega Shenron before being stopped by Vegeta)
- Limited Life-Force Manipulation (The Final Explosion technique converts life force into energy for a massive explosion of power at the cost of one's life.)
All previous resistances, plus Resistance to:
- Air Manipulation (Unaffected by Omega Shenron's empowered Whirlwind Spin after adapting to Oceanus Shenron's.)
- Deconstruction, Corrosion Inducement & Corruption (Type 2; Goku can resist the effects of Syn Shenron Negative Energy can passively lay waste to the entire universe, decaying anything in its vicinity)
- Enhanced Poison Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement, Statistics Reduction & Ki Absorption (After experiencing Haze Shenron's Minus Energy, was immune to it's power reducing, poisonous, and energy draining effects when he came across the other Shadow Dragons. This is due to it's affect on life around it, similar to Destron Gas, and yet more effective as Goku was resistant to that.)
Unconventional Resistance to:
- Ice Manipulation (After adapting to Eis Shenron's cold abilities, he can now use a ki barrier of increased heat to unfreeze him promptly that his body triggers before he's hit.)
Enhanced Resistance to:
- Electricity Manipulation (Due to adapting, he was totally resistant to the improved version of Dragon Thunder used by Omega Shenron)
All previous abilities plus:
- Attack Reflection & Weapon Control (With the Power Pole)
- Enhanced Purification (Type 2; Energy balls created from a small amount of energy from all surrounding life, including plants, animals, humans, and even the air itself can purify the sky filled with Minus Energy of Omega Shenron)
- Immortality (Type 7; Was stated to have died after taking Omega Shenron's Negative Karma Ball)
- Enhanced Astral Projection (Can now finally Astral Project of his own power without the aid of others, as seen in A Hero's Legacy.)
All previous resistances
Attack Potency: Low Multiverse level (Even in base, was comparable to a Post-Training Uub[33], making him stronger than his previous top strength as a Super Saiyan 3 in just his Base State. Is the strongest Z-Fighter, having exceeded Gohan, Vegeta, etc. Buu threatened to destroy the Kaioshin Realm and caused extensive damage to the Sacred World of the Kais, and is superior to Buuhan, who was going to destroy the Macrocosm in a rage), higher with Super Saiyan transformations and Dragon Fist (allows him to attack at a level vastly higher than normal) | Low Multiverse level (His strength eclipses his previous self, having grown significantly strong enough to eclipse his prior battle data as a Super Saiyan[34] in Base between episodes by the time of his fight with Rildo[35], without even using half his power. Increased in power significantly again by the end of his visit on M-2.[36] Was superior to Super Saiyan Goten at this time, who in base was superior to Baby[37], who himself absorbed the power of General Rilldo, Luud, and countless lifeforms), higher in his Super Saiyan Forms, far higher as a Golden Great Ape (Smacked around Super Baby Vegeta 2 as if he was a toy, effortlessly tanked his attacks, and Baby was so intimidated by his power he ran to avoid him and get his own version after failing to stop him[38]), even higher with Super Saiyan 4 (Easily stomped Super Baby Vegeta 2 with merely just a fraction of his power, going on to even casually tanking his stronger Revenge Death Ball[39], later kept up with him after he transformed into a Golden Great Ape, though was admittedly the weaker of the two.[40] Eventually completely exceeded him as a Full Power Super Saiyan 4[41]), and Dragon Fist (allows him to attack at a level vastly higher than normal) | Low Multiverse level (Far stronger than before. Shook Enma's Desk from Hell while powering up from a heavily restrained state.[42] After the Baby Saga, he became so much stronger that he surpassed Uub as a Super Saiyan and fought evenly with Super 17[43]), higher with Super Saiyan transformations, even higher as a Super Saiyan 4 (Stronger than his previous Super Saiyan 4) or with the Dragon Fist (Attacks at a level vastly higher than normal, such as when he punched through Super 17 and dealt serious damage to him in just Base[44]) | Low Multiverse level (Should be more powerful than before), higher in his Super Saiyan forms, far higher as a Super Full Power Saiyan 4 (After breaking his limits, he was able to contend with and was stated to have a similar level of strength to Omega Shenron[45], who could destroy the entire macrocosm, and was ten times stronger than Syn Shenron[46], who a normal Super Saiyan 4 Goku stood no chance against), even higher with the Dragon Hammer (Punched a hole through Omega Shenron's body, and utilizes the Dragon Fist, a technique that dishes out damage at a vastly higher level) | Low Multiverse level (Comparable to his Durability, which could effortlessly tank barrages from Omega Shenron[47]), far higher with Universal Spirit Bomb (Able to completely obliterate Omega Shenron, leaving no trace of him), even higher in his various Super Saiyan forms.
Speed: Infinite (During the Otherworld Tournament Saga, his weaker base self traversed the infinite Afterlife, and he is far superior now), far higher with Super Saiyan transformations, even higher with Super Saiyan 4 | Infinite (Much faster than before), far higher with Super Saiyan transformations, even higher with Super Saiyan 4 | Infinite (Considerably faster than any previous state)
Lifting Strength: At least Class P, likely far higher (Scales significantly higher than this feat[Statistics Values 1]) | At least Class P, likely far higher (Even Omega Shenron's most powerful attack can't move him, making him much stronger than before)
Striking Strength: Low Multiverse level, higher with Super Saiyan transformations, far higher with Golden Great Ape, even higher with Super Saiyan 4 | Low Multiverse level, higher with Super Saiyan transformations, even higher as a Super Saiyan 4 or with the Dragon Fist, far higher as a Super Full Power Saiyan 4, even higher with the Dragon Hammer | Low Multiverse level (Comparable to his Attack Potency and Durability)
Durability: Low Multiverse level, higher with Super Saiyan transformations, far higher with Golden Great Ape, even higher with Super Saiyan 4 | Low Multiverse level, higher with Super Saiyan transformations, even higher as a Super Saiyan 4 or with the Dragon Fist, far higher as a Super Full Power Saiyan 4, even higher with the Dragon Hammer | Low Multiverse level (Became cloaked in an aura that "won't let any attack near him". Tanked many ki blasts from Omega Shenron, including a Negative Karma Ball)
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. Was described to have monstrous stamina by King Kai after battling for a considerable amount of time without losing any energy against Cell However, his stamina drops greatly as a Super Saiyan 3, and due to being stuck in his child body, it has suffered even more, making it impossible to use for more than a few seconds.) | Superhuman (Should have even more Stamina than before. The return of his tail minimized the Ki Drain of all his transformations, allowing him to use Super Saiyan 3 with no drawbacks. Super Saiyan 4 has no energy weakness, and is the most efficient of his transformations).
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters as an Great Ape. Low Multiversal with ki-based attacks and Instant Transmission
Standard Equipment: None notable | Power Pole, Nimbus
Average generally. Extraordinary Genius in Combat:
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 on Earth, with martial arts in Dragon Ball exceeding real life towards Dan/Level 30 where there is only 10. In his battle with Master Roshi, was able to copy and improve upon a technique on sight, later in that same battle once faced against the Sui-Ken, a martial art he couldn't copy because he had never experienced inebriation, Goku generated and created his own style known as the "Crazy Fist" in response to perfectly counter it off the top of his head, with these styles even specifically noted to be a variation of Kenpo.
At this point should be so skilled he's beyond 22nd World Tournament Roshi and Tien, the former of which having such mastery his movements, energy, and breathing have no ineffiency, and the latter being able to detect this merely via observation of scant attacks whilst his future foe was suppressed. Learned predictive movements and enemy reading in merely three days and was able to immediately apply it in combat. 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 learned the training of the mind within a day, which takes battles that are dead even in all physical abilities, except stamina, which was above Goku's, as well as all techniques go from even to utter defeats of the enemy. Eventually learned to make absolutely zero unnecessary movements, which is shown by creating absolutely no sound from bells that react to the tiniest movement. Honed his mind, body, and spirit in conjunction with each other for his martial arts.
Should be more skilled than and effective at copying than Vegeta, who was able to replicate the Energy Sensory of the Z-Fighters by merely battling them, and their methods aren't detectable by any known conventional means. He was the first to realize how much energy the Super Saiyan transformations unnecessarily drained and despite the drawback 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, and Goku's training with King Kai was directly noted to be worth thousands of years of his prior accomplishments, experience, and skill. As a Saiyan, he has a natural sense for battle and adapts to it quickly. He as able to go toe to toe with Cell, a being created by the genius scientist Dr. Gero to be the ultimate warrior, 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, down to real-time strategy, something that despite using an advanced supercomputer capable of creating machines that can destroy planets, stars, solar systems, genetic engineering, cellular alteration, hybrid creation, infinite energy reactors, and more still took about 20 years.
Cell was even noted by others to perfect the martial arts and techniques of those who comprised him such as Tien's Multiform Technique, removing their flaws, and yet Goku was able to face four copies of Cell whilst their physical ability was identical off of his own raw battle intelligence and skill. When Goku fought Androids 13, 14, and 15, who were made by the Backup Supercomputer, they had his full combat data on his fighting styles to predict him, and yet he could easily match them. Should be more skilled and rigorous in improving technique in training than Piccolo, who regularly utilizes perfect copies of himself to train with to hone all of his capabilities to their utmost extent. Fought and saw through all of the moves of the Sigma Force, who had combat data on all of his capabilities that allowed them to evade and punish all of his movements as well as knowledge of all their fighting styles.
Goku is capable of seeing the holes, flaws, and errors in techniques and fighters after seeing or hearing of them, such as when he took advantage of the weaknesses within the Multiform Technique after experiencing a single beatdown, how he noticed Hachiyack's sudden weakness at the 15 second mark of his Revenger Cannon Attack, the gap in the Thunder Flash and exploited it to take advantage of an opening, Frieza's inability to sense Ki to create openings in his defenses, or Cell's perfected combat to lure and lead the four fighters into a means of which he can defeat all at once. Identified that it wasn't Haze Shenron getting stronger, but him and Pan getting weaker. Tricked the Sigma Force into revealing their capabilities by suppressing himself and allowing them to believe they had advantage as he learned everything they could do, allowing him to fight beyond their data. Is so capable of advancement in techniques that mere knowledge that a move exists without any deeper knowledge allows him to create counters as well as copy them. At this point is so skilled with Energy Sensory that suppression that makes beings invisible even to skilled users of Earthling Ki Sensing like Trunks cannot hide from him.
Even outside of Combat, Goku is no slouch mentally. He played on the ego of Naturon Shenron to trick him into making Pan vulnerable so he could free him, planned a convincing act and fight with Nuova Shenron to trick Omega Shenron into a gambit that guaranteed victory outside of a specific ability they had no knowledge of, was able to identify and operate around a plan of Trunks and Giru's own making within secret to then perfectly go along with and bolster their scheme, revealing Baby and allowing them an attempt to kill the Tuffle. Was capable of crafting another plan along with Trunks and Pan to get Baby to reveal his own aims, make himself vulnerable, and defeat him. Goku was capable of realizing how Baby's body possession worked and figured out that cutting off his tail would force him into being ejected.
Weaknesses: Goku seeks strong opponents and therefore will allow 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. His Spirit Bomb requires a long charge-up period, during which time he is vulnerable. Incapable of using Instant Transmission beyond a few meters due to his Child Body without amplification. Super Saiyan 3 drains his ki rapidly, and his weaker, child body makes it even more difficult to use, limiting its use to only a few seconds at a time. | All the same weaknesses as before, except now with the return of his tail he no longer has strain within any Super Saiyan form, and can access his Adult Body, allowing flawless use of Instant Tranmission. | All the same weaknesses, except he's in his Adult Body all the time, now, and thus can always use flawless Instant Transmission.

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 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.
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.
