Goku

Goku is a fictional character from the series *Dragon ball, Dragon ball Z,* and *Dragon ball Super.* Although he also appears in *Dragon ball GT,* we will not be covering that here, this is the canon counterpart. Goku is an extremely powerful martial artist that has fought many deadly opponents. He is a saiyan from earth, and has trained under many masters including Master Roshi and King Kai. More recently he has trained under Whis, God of Destruction Beerus’ attendant. Goku has beaten Vegeta, Frieza, Majin Buu, Hit, Goku Black, Jiren the Gray, Moro, and others. He has attained every known form of Super Saiyan apart from Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Evolved.

**Techniques**

* Kamehameha - Easily his most iconic move, the blue beam of destruction never ceases to entertain. While it isn’t always the finishing move, it’s always one of the highlights of any battle if Goku’s using it. It’s a blue energy wave that destroys anything it hits.
* Super Kamehameha - Simply a bigger stronger Kamehameha. It’s utilized many times throughout Goku’s life as one of his greatest attacks.
* Spirit Bomb - A massive blue energy ball created from the energy of all living beings that completely wrecks any villain it’s used on.
* Kaioken - Gifting Goku an awesome red aura and the ability to double his speed and strength for a moment at the risk of his body not being able to handle the stress. Goku has been able to multiply the Kaioken up to twenty, and one hundred in the non cannon movies. Goku can combine the Kaioken with Super Saiyan, creating Super Kaioken. Although Super Kaioken is non-cannon, because it only appeared in the Otherworld tournament, Goku could easily use it, as he can combine Kaioken with a much more powerful form, Super Saiyan Blue. Super Kaioken Blue has been multiplied up to times twenty.
* Instant Transmission - A move taught to Goku by the Yaardrats, Goku can use this move to lock onto any energy signature, and teleport to it.

**Transformations**

* Great Ape - Not used after *Dragon Ball,* as Goku never regrows his tail. If Goku were, he would become an uncontrollable gigantic monkey of mass destruction ten times stronger than his base, as Goku never learned to control this power.
* Super Saiyan - The first Super Saiyan of the modern era, Goku transformed when Krillin was killed on the planet Namek. In response, Goku’s hair spiked up and turned golden. His power in this state was unrivaled, until Future Trunks showed up a year later. Although a rather unimportant transformation by today’s standards, Super Saiyan is still and always will be Goku’s most Iconic form.
* Super Saiyan Grade 2 - Unlocked while training in the room of spirit and time with Gohan, it’s a rather unnecessary form, as it makes the user stronger than a regular Super Saiyan, it eats up more energy and slows you down.
* Super Saiyan Grade 3 - Unlocked while training in the room of spirit and time with Gohan, it’s entirely unused by Goku who states that the muscles are so big that it actually slows down the user, making it a very ineffective transformation.
* Super Saiyan Grade 4/Mastered Super Saiyan - This transformation is used rather than Super Saiyan most of the time. It absorbs the aura making it a more powerful transformation and a more energy conservative one. Goku was able to maintain this transformation for ten days up until the Cell Games, proving its power,
* Super Saiyan 2 - Learned sometime after the Cell Games while Goku was dead, he trained and learned this transformation. The only time it’s really used by Goku is during his fight against Majin Vegeta. Other than that Goku barely uses it again, and it’s almost unrecognizable from regular Super Saiyan, except for the electric aura and one hair strand.
* Super Saiyan 3 - Learned by Goku after he died during the Cell Games, this transformation is much more powerful than its predecessors, but it comes at the cost of it being extremely energy inefficient. The long hair and lack of eyebrows are some of the staples of this transformation. After the Majin Buu Saga, this form is used only in Goku’s fight against Beerus, and once in the tournament of power.
* Super Saiyan God - When five pure-hearted Saiyans gather, Goku becomes the legendary Super Saiyan God. In this state his body slims down and his hair and eyes turn a bright red. His aura gains that of flames and he hains access to a whole new world of god ki. This form is extremely powerful, especially compaired to previous forms. It has been used in many fights throughout *Dragon ball Super,* but not nearly as much as its successor.
* Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan/Super Saiyan Blue - Goku obtained this form by training on Beerus’ planet for three years alongside Vegeta, learning to combine the power of Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God. By doing this he obtained a form capable of defeating Golden Frieza with relative ease. This form is also combined with Kaioken for an extra punch.
* Full Power Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan/Full Power Super Saiyan Blue - By absorbing the aura leaking out of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, the user has much more power than before. Goku first uses this against Goku Black, as an attempt to gain a more powerful form to defeat him with.
* Ultra Instinct Sign/Ultra Instinct Omen - A form where Goku first obtains the divine power of Ultra Instinct, awakening it after almost dying to his own Spirit Bomb. This form is used to defeat such adversaries as Saganbo and Kefla. Although it’s Ultra Instinct at only half it’s full potential, the form is leagues above most. The biggest flaw is with its power to counterattack, something that isn’t fully possible until Mastered Ultra Instinct.
* Mastered Ultra Instinct - Goku’s current most powerful form, one that allows him to dodge and counterattack with such power and speed that should be impossible for a mortal. This form was powerful enough to defeat Jiren and Moro, although it takes a major toll on his body, meaning Goku needed extra energy to take down Moro, and wasn’t completely able to finish off Jiren during the tournament of power, where he was first able to unlock this form.
