**Son Goku**, born **Kakarot**, was a Saiyan man

## Biography

### Birth

Kakarot was born in Age 737 to Bardock and Gine on Planet Vegeta. He was born a weak and sickly baby and rather than let him die in the hospital, his parents took care of him in their home. One day a conspiracy came out that the Freeza Force, the local segment of the Galactic Empire, would betray the Saiyans which caused a small revolt. Kakarot was chosen to be sent off planet to ensure the survival of the Saiyan race. Gine broke into the launch pad in order to get him to a safer planet and fought with the scientists. In the scuffle, he was sent to the planet Earth. This saved Kakarot from death as the Freeza Force tracked down all the other Saiyan babies except him as he had no trace left as the computer was destroyed in the fight.

### Early Life on Earth

Kakarot was discovered by an elderly martial artist named Son Gohan on Mount Paozu. Gohan then took Kakarot as his grandson and named him Son Goku. Goku was a violent child and frequently fought Gohan. One day, Gohan tripped, causing Goku to fall off a ravine and hit his head at the bottom.  Goku suffered from amnesia and forgot all of his Saiyan heritage and impulses. Goku was trained by Gohan in the basics of martial arts as well as Ki control. Goku grew up believing that his parents dropped him off at his Grandfather’s house before they left for an expedition and never returned. One night on a full moon Goku transformed into a giant ape, known as a Great Ape, after looking at the moon. Gohan believed it to be a beast and nearly vaporized him but realized that the beast was Goku. Gohan led Goku away from Mount Paozu until the morning and he turned back into a child. Gohan then told Goku to never look at the full moon. At age eight, Goku looked at the moon accidentally and killed Gohan who was unwilling to fight his adoptive grandson. Goku believed that Gohan was killed by a monster but his soul went into his prized possession, the Four-Star Dragon Ball. Goku then lived by himself on the mountain using the Power Pole, another of Gohan’s prized possessions.

### First Adventure

One day at age twelve, Goku was hunting when he was struck by a car. Goku believed it to be a monster and attacked it causing it’s driver, a teenage girl named Bulma, to shoot Goku in the head. Goku survived but was hardly fazed acting as though he had been stung by a hornet. The two introduced themselves to each other and Goku mused that he had never seen a girl before, in fact the only other human he had ever seen was his Grandfather. Bulma discovered that Goku possessed the four-star ball and enlisted him in her quest to find the other six Dragon Balls, not telling him that they would scatter when they were brought together and a wish was made. Bulma introduced Goku to modern technology and whilst Bulma was asleep he learned that women have different anatomy than men. In the morning, Goku ran into a sentient Turtle and he brought Bulma with him to bring Turtle back to the ocean. On the trip, the trio were confronted by a massive Bear Thief and Goku showcased his power by knocking the Thief unconscious with a single punch to the forehead. When they reach the beach, the Turtle brings his owner Master Roshi in order to reward the duo. Roshi gives Goku his Flying Nimbus, which allows the pure of heart to ride it, and gives Bulma the three-star ball, in exchange for her flashing him. Bulma used her Dragon Radar and tracked the next Dragon Ball to Aru Village. The villagers tell the duo that if they deal with the monstrous Oolong who threatened to destroy the village if they don’t give him their daughters, then they would give them a Dragon Ball. Bulma disguised Goku as a girl but Oolong realized that he was being tricked and attempted to escape. Goku chased Oolong down and captured him where he was discovered to be a nine year old shapeshifting pig. Oolong released his captives, who were actually treated quite well, and the duo was given the six-star ball. Bulma then forced Oolong to join in their travels as he could have some use. Whilst traveling through Diablo Desert, the trio is attacked by two thieves, Yamcha (a notorious criminal) and Puar (a cat that went to the same shape shifting school as Oolong). Yamcha and Goku dueled, however Goku was hungry and wasn’t at full fighting capacity. Yamcha uses his special technique called the “Wolf Fang Fist” and hits Goku but Goku got up and as Yamcha prepared to attack him again, he saw Bulma which caused him to petrify due to his fear of women and he fled. That night, Goku tells Oolong about the Dragon Balls whilst Yamcha and Puar listen in. That morning, the pair attacked the group and destroyed their house wagon. Goku then defeats Yamcha and in a false apology, Yamcha gifted the group a car that secretly has a tracking device. The team reached Fire Mountain, the home of the fierce Ox-King in search of the Dragon Ball. When Goku left to search for the ball, the Ox-King attacked Oolong and Bulma and Goku sprung into action. During the battle, Goku called on the Flying Nimbus for better maneuverability which causes the Ox-King to stop attacking. The Ox-King then reveals that he was a student of Master Roshi and recognized the Nimbus as having belonged to him. Considering the group allies he also told them that he sent his daughter, Chi Chi to go to Roshi’s home to get the Bansho Fan and put out the flames at the top of the mountain. Goku then left to find Chi Chi and get the Bansho Fan. Goku picks up Chi Chi and she falls in love with Goku who unknowingly promises to marry the girl. The duo reach Roshi, who tells them he threw the fan away and that he would put the flame out himself. Upon arrival, Roshi bulks up into a massive muscular form and unleashes his ultimate attack, the Kamehameha, however Roshi inadvertently destroys the mountain as well as the Ox-King’s home. Goku was awestruck upon seeing the Ki blast and immediately tried it himself, managing to do a small wave that destroyed the car. Roshi was impressed with how fast Goku picked up the technique and offered to train him once his quest was over. Bulma was then given the Dragon Ball by the Ox-King, as well as another car. The trio then go to a village run by the Rabbit Mob. They then get into a fight with small time members which causes the boss, Monster Carrot, a large rabbit man, to appear. Monster Carrot turns Bulma into a carrot, however with the aid of Yamcha, Goku defeats the rabbit and forces him to turn Bulma back to normal before exiling him to the moon. The group then continued on the road when they were attacked and robbed by a mech suit piloted by Shu, a dog ninja under the employ of Emperor Pilaf. Shu took all of the Dragon Balls the group had except for the four star ball which Goku refused to let out of his possession. With the help of Yamcha the group track the balls to Pilaf’s Castle. Whilst there, Goku and Yamcha fight off some robot troops and mercenaries but the group is rendered unconscious by sleeping gas. Pilaf and his minions then take the four-star ball and throw the group in a cell before summoning the dragon, Shenron, for a wish. Goku then used a Kamehameha to create a hole allowing Oolong and Puar to turn into bats and prevent a wish from being made. Oolong reaches Shenron and wishes for underpants before Pilaf can make his wish. The group then attempts an escape but is captured by attack dogs and thrown in a special cell that will burn them alive in the morning when the sun rises. The group in their last moments staring at the full moon. Goku then tells the group of his Grandfather’s death and his warning to never look at the full moon. Goku accidentally looks at the moon and transforms into the Great Ape. Goku then destroys the cell and the castle forcing the Pilaf Gang to flee. Yamcha and Puar then cut off Goku’s tail which forces him back to normal.

### Turtle School and World Tournament

That morning, Goku bid the group farewell as he would go to Kame House, the residence of Master Roshi, to train. Roshi agrees to train Goku under the condition that he finds a pretty girl for him. Goku fails as he is unable to make a distinction. Just then, another kid named Krillin appears who wants to train under Roshi. Krillin then assists Goku in his search. The pair find a girl named Launch and decide to bring her to Roshi. As they speak to her they are confronted by police officers, who came to arrest Launch, who is really a bank robber with a split personality. Goku fought off the officers and the trio left for Kame House. Roshi then brings them to a nearby island to train them through menial tasks like milk delivery and construction work all while wearing heavy turtle shells. The training proved successful as the pair became incredibly powerful and Krillin began to trust Goku, the two then became good friends. Roshi then takes them to Papaya Island in order to participate in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. Goku breezes through the elimination rounds and earns his place in the tournament proper. Goku faces off against a Gira named Giran as his first battle. Goku is nearly defeated by Giran’s special technique but he suddenly regrows his tail which gives him added strength. Giran was awestruck by the power on display and gave up. Goku then faces off against Nam. The two have a fierce battle but Goku manages to knock Nam out of the ring. Goku is then placed in the finals with Jackie Chun, who was really Master Roshi in disguise. The two have a long and fierce battle, where Goku is caught in Chun’s Lightning Surprise technique. During this, the full moon appears and Goku transforms into a Great Ape. Chun then blows up the moon with a Kamehameha forcing Goku back to normal. The two then resume their battle after a brief pause and both are completely drained of energy and knocked down. Chun then manages to pull himself up for long enough and becomes the new champion.

### War against the Red Ribbon Army

Goku then leaves Roshi to go look for the four-star ball with Bulma’s Dragon Radar, having learned to never stop training as there is always someone stronger. Goku then helps Nam and his village by fixing the river, and fights against the Pilaf Gang and the Red Ribbon Army. The Pilaf Gang is swiftly defeated leaving the Red Ribbon Army. Goku faces off against Colonel Silver, who destroyed the Flying Nimbus. Goku then disgraces Silver by defeating him in a single kick. Goku then steals Silver’s jet and has the autopilot fly him the next Dragon Ball. The jet is then shot down by Red Ribbon Soldiers in the nearby Muscle Tower. Goku is saved by a girl named Suno who takes him to Jingle Village. Goku learns of the horrible war crimes done by the Red Ribbon Army as well as the fact they kidnapped the village's mayor, and he decides to storm the tower killing several soldiers during his mad dash. Goku then breaks into the tower where he faces an android named Major Metallitron and wears him out until his batteries drain. Goku then faces Ninja Murasaki and his brothers who he outclasses and humiliates. Murasaki then releases Android 8 in order to defeat him. Android 8 refuses to fight Goku due to his disdain of violence and instead befriends him. The two then reach the top of the tower and face off against General White. White activates a trap door in order that drops Goku into a pit with the monster Buyon, however Goku destroys a wall which freezes the creature. Goku then leaps back to the top. White then grabs the mayor and threatens to kill him if Goku doesn't stop. Goku complies and is then shot several times by White, which enrages 8 who decides to break his rule and punches White with his full power, sending White out of the tower and killing him upon impact. Goku freed the mayor and got a Dragon Ball that 8 kept in his possession. Goku then went to Dr. Frappe’s house as he had helped create 8 and could remove the bomb in him, after this happens Goku tosses the bomb away unknowingly killing Ninja Murasaki. Goku then realized that the nimbus could regenerate and he could still use it. Goku then goes to West City to see Bulma if she could fix the broken Dragon Radar. Bulma repairs the radar and joins Goku in his journey. They go to a theme park with Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar but are robbed by a thief named Hasky who was hired by the Red Ribbon Army, Goku then captured her. The pair then track the next ball to an underwater pirate cove. They go to Kame House and Master Roshi gives them a submarine and tells Krillin to go with them. The trio explore the cove but are chased by General Blue of the Red Ribbon Army. Goku runs off to fight a Robot Pirate and an octopus named Octopapa, and overhears Krillin and Bulma fighting Blue. Goku fought Blue but was subdued by his telekinesis but was saved by a mouse that frightened Blue. The trio then flee the collapsing cave and reach Kame House. There the group was captured by Blue who tied them up and left a bomb. Launch then arrived and freed them. Goku then chased Blue to Penguin Village. Goku meets with an android girl named Arale who took him to her creator and adoptive father, Senbei, to fix the radar and helped Goku defeat Blue and retrieve the Dragon Balls. Blue managed to steal the radar and Senbei’s son Turbo creates a new one. Goku then travels to the Sacred Land of Korin and fights and defeats Captain Yellow finally retrieving the four-star ball. Goku then meets Bora and his son Upa, two natives of the land. Just then the trio are attacked by mercenary Tao Pai-pai who was hired to eliminate Goku. Tao murdered Bora quickly by stabbing him with his own spear. Goku then fights Tao but is defeated when Tao uses the Dodon Ray in an attempt to stop Goku’s heart. Goku survived as the four-star absorbed most of the blast. Goku then climbed Korin Tower in order to retrieve the Sacred Water of Korin. Upon reaching the top, Korin tells Goku that he needs to catch him if he wants the water. After three days Goku finally catches Korin and receives the Sacred Water, which was actually regular water. Korin then explained that the water was fake and that the task of getting it was actually training. Goku then faced off with Tao again and beat him by kicking a grenade back at him. Goku then promised Upa that he would defeat the Red Ribbon Army and use the Dragon Balls to wish Bora back to life. Goku then storms Red Ribbon Headquarters and kills several soldiers including a soldier named Armond. Goku then faces off against Commander Red, who lets slip that he is searching for the Dragon Balls so that he can be taller and not to take over the world. This enrages Staff Officer Black who grabs his revolver and shoots Red killing him. Goku and Black, who is using a mech suit, fight and Black destroys the building. Goku then blows up Black’s mech suit and him along with it. Goku’s friends then find Goku and are shocked to see the destruction of the Red Ribbon Army while Goku picks up the Dragon Balls as well as the Dragon Radar.

### Fortune Teller Baba

Goku sees that he is missing one more Dragon Ball and that the radar cannot find it. Roshi then tells Goku to go see his sister Baba who could locate anything in the world. Goku goes to see her along with Krillin, Yamcha, Bulma, Puar, Upa and Roshi. Baba then forces them to fight her five powerful warriors. Krillin, Puar, Upa, and Yamcha defeat the first two opponents, but are defeated by the third Bandages the Mummy. Goku then defeats him as well as Spike the Devil Man. Goku then faces off against a mysterious elderly man with a halo and fox mask, who both Goku and Roshi feel they have met before. Goku holds his own for a while but is then overpowered by the mysterious man who grabs his tail and begins swinging him around until the tail rips off. The man then surrenders and reveals himself to be Grandpa Gohan who asked Baba to bring him back to Earth for a day just to see his grandson one more time. Goku and Gohan reconnect and have an emotional reunion and Baba tells Goku that Pilaf has the final Dragon Ball put in a special case. Goku then fights Pilaf and his minions, Shu and Mai, who are in a mech suit. Goku defeats them and takes the Dragon Ball, summons Shenron and revives Bora. Goku then grabs the four-star ball before it scatters.

### Traveling the World

After Roshi tells him that he taught him all he could for now, Goku traveled the world training, where he saves a village, stops a feud between two martial arts schools, saves a princess from the Demon Realm, and stops a scam run by the martial artists Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.

### 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament

Goku then joins the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament at age fifteen. Goku recognizes Tien and Chiaotzu as competitors and noted their strength. Goku then learns from Roshi that both are students from his rival Shen, the Crane Hermit. Goku defeats former champion King Champa in the preliminaries and a movie star named Pamput in the quarterfinals with ease. Goku then faces Krillin in the semi-finals and the two have a fierce battle between friends in which Goku prevails. Goku then faces Tien in the finals and the two have a fierce battle. In the middle of the battle Chiaotzu uses telekinesis to stop Goku in his tracks, but Tien tells him to stop as he wants to fight Goku with his own strength, as he had a change of heart after a talk with Roshi. The two end up destroying the ring and wind up mid air in the city, where Goku is hit by a van and hits the ground first making Tien the winner. Tien and Chiaotzu then leave the Crane School and treat Goku and his friends to a feast.

### Battle with King Piccolo

Goku realized that he left his belongings at the arena, and Krillin went to get them. Goku senses something terrible happened and runs to check on Krillin at the arena, where he finds his corpse. The announcer tells Goku that both he and Krillin were assaulted by a monster named Tambourine. Goku tracks Tambourine down, but as he is too fatigued from the tournament and is quickly beaten. Goku finds himself in the wilderness, where he meets a samurai named Yajirobe who has a Dragon Ball. A monster named Cymbal, the third son of the Demon King Piccolo and the brother of Tambourine, finds the pair and demands the Dragon Ball, however is killed by Yajirobe who then cooks and eats his corpse. Tambourine is then sent by King Piccolo to kill Cymbal’s killer but is killed by a rested Goku. King Piccolo himself then appears and defeats and nearly kills Goku and takes his Dragon Balls. Yajirobe then takes Goku to Korin’s Tower to recover. As Goku recovers, Tien, Roshi, and Chiaotzu attempt to stop King Piccolo from summoning Shenron, however they fail and Roshi and Chiaotzu die trying. King Piccolo then summons Shenron, wishes for his youth and then destroys Shenron. Goku then recovers and is sent on a quest for the Ultra Divine Water, which is meant to give the drinker their full potential or kill them if they have none (unbeknownst to Goku this too was a fake and the real strength came from the power gained from the perilous journey). Goku succeeds and then goes to defeat King Piccolo in King Furry’s Palace. Goku sees Tien fight Drum, another of Piccolo’s sons, who Goku kills (Drum’s corpse then crushes and kills another son named Piano). Goku then fights King Piccolo and is winning until Piccolo takes Tien as a hostage and then breaks Goku’s left arm and both his legs. Goku then taps into the strength locked behind his Saiyan blood, achieving the Pseudo Super Saiyan form, for a moment and launches one last punch that kills King Piccolo, however he lives long enough to spit an egg out with his final son and partial reincarnation Piccolo Jr.

### Training with Kami

Goku then meets with Korin who tells him about Kami, the guardian of Earth who resides in the lookout above his tower. Goku learns that as Kami created the Dragon Balls he could fix them and all it took to meet him was to plant the Power Pole at the top of the tower to anchor the Lookout. Goku does so and meets Kami’s attendant, Mr. Popo, who tests Goku to see if  he is worthy of meeting with Kami. Goku passes the tests and sees Kami who revives Shenron and allows Goku to make a wish to revive all those killed by King Piccolo’s recent mass killings, including Krillin, Master Roshi, and Chiaotzu. Kami then alerts Goku of Piccolo Jr. who wishes revenge on Goku for killing his father and trains him to face off against him in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. Goku undergoes intense training under both Kami and Mr. Popo for three long years until the tournament.

### 23rd Martial Arts Tournament

Goku then meets his friends at the tournament who are shocked to see how much he grew. In the preliminaries Goku faced off against King Chappa again and beat him easily. In the quarterfinals Goku fought a mysterious woman who knows who Goku is and is angry at him. The woman then reveals herself to be Chi Chi and is angry that Goku promised to marry her but never came through. Goku apologized profusely and knocked her out the ring with a kiai. Goku then proposed to Chi Chi and told her after the tournament that he promised they would finally marry. In the semi-finals Goku fights against Tien and the two are evenly matched until Goku discards his weighted clothing and uses his new speed to defeat Tien. Goku then faces against Piccolo in the finals who reveals that he used the Evil Containment Wave to capture Kami and eats the bottle, meaning that if Goku kills Piccolo, Kami dies as well (unbeknownst to Goku no matter what if either Piccolo or Kami dies the other would die as well). After a fierce battle, the crowd learns who Piccolo really is and flees. Goku then convinces Piccolo to turn into a giant where he then jumps into Piccolo’s mouth and grabs the bottle while he jumps out.  Goku and Piccolo then fight on even terms for a while but Piccolo fires a blast that punctures Goku’s shoulder, Piccolo then breaks all of Goku’s limbs. Goku then taps into Pseudo Super Saiyan and learns to fly using his new ability to headbutt Piccolo, incapacitating him and knocking him out of the ring, making Goku the victor of the tournament. Goku then gives Piccolo a Senzu Bean, a bean that heals all wounds and restores the eater's stamina, in order to keep Kami alive and to give himself a new rival. Goku and Chi Chi then marry and have a son named Gohan, named in honor of Goku’s Grandfather and Ox-King’s old friend.

### Deadzone

At 23 years old and living with his new family near his home in Mount Paozu. One day whilst hunting for food, Goku senses something terrible happened and returns home to see Chi Chi and the Ox-King, who was visiting at the time, were attacked and that Gohan was kidnapped. Goku asks Bulma for the Dragon Radar so that he can track Gohan, as he had the four-star ball in his hat. Goku then finds Gohan in the castle of Garlic Jr., who wants to dominate the world and get revenge on Kami for imprisoning his father in the Dead Zone. Goku fights with Garlic Jr. and his minions until Kami appears and engages with Garlic Jr. Goku takes the time to slip into the castle to grab Gohan and leave but is caught by Garlic Jr.’s minions and fights them, he ends up being supported by Krillin and Piccolo, the former heard the trouble from Bulma and looked to help Goku and the latter wanted revenge on Garlic Jr. and his men who attacked him and left him for dead. Piccolo kills one of the minions and Goku then kills the other two with a Kamehameha. Goku and Piccolo then save Kami from Garlic Jr. who unleashes his full power and announces that he already wished for immortality from Shenron. Goku and Piccolo have difficulty fighting Garlic Jr. who opens the Dead Zone to lock everyone away, however an enraged Gohan flies forward and shoots energy at Garlic Jr. causing him to fall in and lock himself away.

### Learning the Truth and Fighting Raditz

A year later Goku takes Gohan to meet Krillin, Bulma, and Master Roshi properly. During the visit, a man named Raditz appears and reveals that he is Goku’s older brother and that Goku is an alien known as a Saiyan. Raditz tells Goku about the destruction of their home planet from an asteroid and tells him that the remaining Saiyans are under the employ of Freeza to kill the populations of planets so that he may sell them to the highest bidder. Goku realizes that he forgot all this information when he hit his head as a toddler. Raditz tries to enlist Goku on his mission on killing all earthlings, but Goku refuses. Raditz then kicks Goku in the chest and kidnaps Gohan, telling Goku to kill one hundred humans otherwise Gohan will be killed. Goku is enraged and attempts to chase after him but is stopped by Krillin. As Goku is being calmed down, Piccolo emerges and offers to help Goku defeat Raditz. Goku agrees and the two find Raditz at his landing site. The pair attempt to fight Raditz but are outclassed by his superior strength and tactics. Gohan becomes enraged at seeing the fight taps into his potential and charges and headbutts Raditz. Goku and Piccolo then devise a plan where Goku holds Raditz down whilst Piccolo charges a powerful attack that kills him. Goku performs a full-nelson and Piccolo unleashes his attack, the Special Beam Cannon, which kills both Goku and Raditz.

### Afterlife

Goku then finds himself in Otherworld and due to being a good person in life he is able to retain his body rather than be a ghost. With the help of Kami, Goku convinces King Yema, the judge of souls, to let him go to King Kai’s Planet to train for the incoming Saiyan invasion. Goku travels Snake Way and reaches King Kai’s Planet and trains with him by catching his pet monkey, Bubbles, and hitting his pet cricket, Gregory, with a mallet. Goku completes the challenges despite the higher gravity. Goku then learns the techniques Kaio-ken and Spirit Bomb from King Kai. Goku is then wished back to life, but because he was permitted to keep his body he had to travel all the way back to the Earth Check-in Station to go back to Earth and that the battle with the Saiyans was underway.

### Saiyan Invasion

Goku reached the battlefield and saw that Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Tien, and Piccolo were all killed and that the only Z Fighters still alive were Gohan and Krillin, not only that but the two Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa, were still alive and not that damaged. Goku then fights Nappa and effortlessly defeats him by breaking his back with Kaio-ken, however Vegeta kills Nappa as he is now no longer able to fight. Goku and Vegeta then move to a Mountain range. The two begin fighting and even with Kaio-ken, Vegeta still begins beating Goku, but Goku uses Kaio-ken to multiply by three times as well as tapping into Pseudo Super Saiyan. Goku begins winning and in a desperate attempt to win, Vegeta attempts to blow up the planet with his Galick Gun, however Goku counters it with a Kamehameha in conjunction with Kaio-ken x4. Vegeta is further enraged and creates a power ball so that he could become a Great Ape. After seeing Great Ape Vegeta, Goku realized that he became a Great Ape when he saw the full moon and crushed his Grandfather. Great Ape Vegeta then brutally beats Goku, breaking most of his bones. Before Vegeta has a chance to kill Goku, Yajirobe jumps out of nowhere and cuts off Vegeta’s tail making him revert to normal. Goku gives Krillin a Spirit Bomb, but Krillin misses and Gohan rebounds it back at Vegeta. Vegeta then fights Krillin, Gohan, and Yajirobe. At some point Gohan regrows his tail and becomes a Great Ape, Vegeta then cuts off Gohan’s tail, however he is still able to crush Vegeta. Near death, Vegeta attempts to escape with his space pod and Krillin grabs Yajirobe’s sword and attempts to kill Vegeta, but is stopped by Goku who tells him to let him live. Goku is then admitted to a hospital as Korin was out of Senzu Beans.

### War on Namek

Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma then decide to travel to Planet Namek, the home world of Kami and the other Namekians such as Piccolo, to get their Dragon Balls as the Earth’s Dragon Balls were rendered useless as Kami died when Piccolo died as both were two halves of the same person. Goku remains in the hospital until Yajirobe arrives with a new batch of Senzu Beans. Goku eats one and sees Bulma’s father Dr. Briefs who made a spaceship for Goku. Goku makes a trip to Namek, and spends the time training whilst using the gravity machine to increase the gravity making him stronger. Goku is alerted that Freeza, possibly the strongest person in the universe, was on the planet searching for the Dragon Balls with his army, by King Kai who advises stay away from him, Goku is however excited by the prospect of fighting him. When Goku lands, he rushes to a battle between Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta, who temporarily decide to side with the heroes,  against members of the Ginyu Force. Goku gives them each Senzu Beans and fights Recoome, knocking him out with a single punch to the stomach. Goku then fights Jeice and Burter, defeating Burter and forcing Jeice to flee. Vegeta then kills Recoome and Burter as a precaution. Goku then sends Gohan and Krillin to look for the Dragon Balls with the radar, while he and Vegeta fight against Jeice and Captain Ginyu, however Vegeta abandons Goku to search for the Dragon Balls himself. Goku fought Ginyu and outclassed him, and Ginyu then powers up a ki blast in his hand and punches himself in the chest, before switching bodies with Goku. Goku in Ginyu’s body makes his way to Freeza’s spaceship where the Dragon Balls were and a battle between Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta against Jeice and Captain Ginyu. Vegeta kills Jeice and brutally beats Ginyu who then attempts to switch Goku’s body with Vegeta’s, however Goku jumps in the way and regains his body and then throws a frog in the beam when he attempts to do it again. Goku was heavily injured and put in a healing pod. When Goku emerges, the battle against Freeza is underway. Goku rushed to the battle site, seeing that Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo (who was resurrected and brought to Namek) were heavily injured and Vegeta was dying. Vegeta tells Goku to kill Freeza as retribution for all those he killed, Freeza then shoots a Death Beam at Vegeta puncturing his lung, killing him. Goku then buries Vegeta and starts fighting Freeza, but is outmatched by his power, even when using the Kaio-ken and tapping into Pseudo Super Saiyan. Goku then begins charging a Spirit Bomb, whilst Piccolo distracts Freeza. Once the Spirit Bomb becomes ready and Goku throws it at Freeza. Goku and his friends believe they have won, when Freeza appears shoots Piccolo with a Death Beam injuring him and kills Krillin by exploding him, then threatens to do the same to Gohan. Goku is enraged by all of this and fully taps into his Saiyan potential and becomes a Super Saiyan. Goku then tells Gohan to take Piccolo, find Bulma, and take his ship so that he can escape. Goku then proceeds to fight Freeza and shows just how powerful he has become by easily beating him. Freeza then attempts to destroy the planet but is too scared to fully do it as he was in the blast zone, the planet then will blow up in five minutes, he then fully powers up to 100% of his strength to fight Goku. The two seem evenly matched, but Freeza was losing power fast. Goku then decides that it was no longer worth fighting Freeza with how weak he was becoming and then left. Freeza then created Death Saucers to kill Goku, but Goku dodges and accidently causes Freeza to cut himself in half. Freeza then begs for forgiveness, and Goku decides to lend some energy. Freeza then launches a powerful energy blast at Goku, which enrages him and Goku counters with a powerful Kamehameha which appears to have killed him. Goku goes to Freeza’s spaceship and attempts to take off but the ship is too damaged. Goku then finds a Ginyu Ship and uses it to escape.

### Training on Yardrat

The ship then crash-lands on Planet Yardrat. Goku is taken care of by the local people who teach him the ways of Instant Transmission, allowing him to teleport as long as he can sense some energy. At some point during his training a bug bit Goku, which he then killed. Goku and the Yardrats then fix the spaceship and he returns to Earth.

### Return to Earth

When Goku arrives, he is shocked to be greeted by his friends. A teenaged stranger named Trunks then asks to talk to Goku, which he agrees. Trunks tests Goku’s strength and the two briefly spar as Super Saiyans, and Goku manages to overpower Trunks and the two stop the fight. Trunks then reveals that he is the son of Bulma and Vegeta from the future, who came back to the past in order to warn the Dragon Team of the past about the Androids, human like robots that destroyed the future built by Dr. Gero of the Red Ribbon Army, and to give Goku a heart medication. Trunks explained that Goku contracted the disease when he was on Yardrat and that it would kill him (Goku made the connection of the bug potentially carrying the disease internally) and that three years later the androids would appear and kill the Z Warriors excluding Gohan who would train Trunks. Trunks tells Goku to take the medicine every two weeks and that the Androids would appear in three years and give the location. Goku then began taking the medicine which delayed the disease but did not kill it, as Goku stopped taking it believing that it was no longer necessary. Goku then began to train with Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin in preparation for the Androids.

### Cooler's Revenge

Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Oolong, and Gohan’s pet Icarus go camping. While Goku is fishing, Krillin, Gohan, and Oolong are attacked by Cooler’s Armored Squadron. Goku hurries back and fights off the soldiers however Cooler, it’s leader and the brother of Freeza, appears and attempts to kill Gohan with a Death Beam but Goku jumps in the way getting hit and falling in the river with Gohan. Gohan then takes Goku to hide in a cave and the two are found by Krillin, Oolong, and Icarus. Gohan then leaves Korin's to get Senzu Beans for Goku. Gohan returns and tells them that two of the Squadron, Dore and Neiz, were killed by Piccolo. Gohan then takes out the bag of beans, but it is destroyed by the last member of the squadron, Salza who shoots it. Krillin then attacks Salza. Gohan then gives Goku a Senzu he hid in his pockets, before joining Krillin but the two are beaten. Goku then appears and fights Cooler who appears and knocks away Salza with his energy. Cooler then unleashes his fifth form and begins to outclass Goku. Eventually Goku goes Super Saiyan and defeats Cooler by blasting him into the sun. Goku drained from the battle is found by Gohan and Krillin who prepare to take him home, when Salza appears to kill them but he himself is killed by Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon.

### Appearance of the Androids

When it came time for the Androids to appear, Goku met with the group at Amenbo Island. The group are met with Bulma, who has a baby Trunks with her, and Yajirobe comes to drop off Senzu Beans but as he leaves his car is shot down by the Androids, Android 20 and Android 19. Gohan goes to save Yajirobe, and the rest of the group goes into the city to look for the Androids. Yamcha gets attacked and the rest of the group find him. Goku then requests that the fight be moved to a wasteland so that no innocents are harmed. The Androids accept and they move to a nearby desert. Android 20 then tells the group that Dr. Gero built surveillance robots and had been watching the Dragon Team since Goku destroyed the Red Ribbon Army until the trip to Namek. Goku then began to fight Android 19 and went Super Saiyan. Goku at first was winning, however 19 began draining his energy and the heart disease started taking its toll on him. Goku is saved by Vegeta and Yamcha takes him home to Chi Chi, where the two administer medicine to him. While Goku is recovering, the Dragon Team discovers that the two Androids are not the ones from Future Trunks’ timeline, Android 20 is really Dr. Gero in an Android body, find his lab but are unable to stop him from activating Androids 17 and 18 who then kill Gero and activate another Android named Android 16. The group fails and are horrifically beaten. Piccolo fuses with Kami (rendering the Dragon Balls unusable) and he then finds a new threat named Cell, a Bio-Android from the future, who is seeking to absorb the Androids. Goku is moved to Kame House, in case the Androids reach his house. Goku recovers and then decides to take Gohan, Vegeta, and Future Trunks to the Lookout so that they can train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Vegeta and Trunks go in first, and as Goku and Gohan wait, the Androids went to Kame House and Piccolo fight Android 17, which in turn lead Cell arriving severely injuring Piccolo and absorbing 17, and Tien attacks Cell with his Neo Tri-Beam, buying time for the other Androids to find a place to hide. Goku then uses Instant Transmission to save Tien and Piccolo. Goku and Gohan then enter the chamber and train. Goku achieves the forms of Super Saiyan Grade Two and Super Saiyan Grade Three, however he tells Gohan that these forms are not reliable due to the decrease of speed in exchange for the increase of power. Goku instead tells Gohan that the two will strive toward complete mastery of the regular Super Saiyan form. Goku then trains Gohan to go Super Saiyan and succeeds, and later sees Gohan approach a new form and Goku decides that Gohan is the one who will be able to defeat Cell if he is unable to. Whilst they are training Cell managed to absorb 18 and achieves his perfect form. He then defeats Trunks, Vegeta, Krillin and 16 with ease. Cell then tells them that he will make an announcement on the news in a few days. Goku and Gohan emerge and Goku realizing there are no Dragon Balls due to Piccolo and Kami’s fusion, uses Instant Transmission to travel to New Namek and found Dende, a young Namekian who helped Gohan and Krillin on Namek, who agreed to go to Earth and take over as Guardian and make a new set of Dragon Balls. Goku then took the Dragon Radar and found all the Dragon Balls for after the fight with Cell.

### Cell Games

Cell then makes his announcement that in a week, he will hold a tournament called the Cell Games where all the challengers fight against him. The Z-Fighters then train for the next week in preparation. After the week ends, Goku and the rest of the Z-Fighters arrive at the arena and watch as Hercule Satan, the most recent World Tournament winner, fights and is defeated by Cell. Goku then steps up to fight Cell and the two have a lengthy battle. Goku realizes that he would be unable to defeat Cell and surrenders and tells Gohan to fight Cell. Gohan is unable to reach his full power without falling in a rage, and Cell realizes this creates offspring to fight the Z-fighters. Goku is unable to defeat his Cell Jr. due to how fatigued he is. Android 16 then sneaks up on Cell and grabs him in a bid to self destruct and kill Cell with him, but the bomb was taken out of him when Bulma and her father repaired him, causing Cell to blast him. Android 16 then tells Hercule to throw his severed head back to the fight so that he may speak with Gohan. 16 then tells Gohan that he needs to fight for the good of the Earth but is destroyed by Cell. This enraged Gohan who became Super Saiyan 2. Gohan then overpowers Cell and forces him to regurgitate Android 18. Cell then decides to blow himself up along with the rest of the planet. Goku then teleports to Cell says goodbye to his friends and Gohan before teleporting with Cell to King Kai’s Planet where Cell explodes, killing him along with King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory. Cell then regenerates and, having learned Instant Transmission, teleports back to earth, where he then kills Trunks and fights Gohan. Gohan then tries to counter Cell’s Solar Kamehameha with his own and manages to kill him with the help of Goku who creates a spiritual projection of himself to add his power to Gohan. Goku then tells the rest of the Dragon Team not to bring him back to life as he would just attract more enemies to the planet. Goku and King Kai then travel to Grand Kai’s Planet to enter the Other World Tournament.

### Return to the Afterlife

While there, the pair is confronted by King Kai’s rival, West Kai, and his strongest warrior, Pikkon. As this is happening an error in Hell allows for Cell, Freeza, King Cold, and the Ginyu Force to escape and wreak havoc in Otherworld. Goku and Pikkon then leave to fight the group and succeed in defeating them. Goku then meets with other powerful warriors of the North Sector trained by King Kai, including the former champion of Earth, Olibu. Goku enters the tournament and fights against Caterpy of the South Sector, followed by Arqua of the East, and Maraikoh of the West, and finally faces against Pikkon in the finals. The two have a hard battle, and Goku even attempts to combine Kaio-ken and Super Saiyan to fight Pikkon. The two are disqualified for landing on the ceiling however Grand Kai decides to train both of them due to their potential. A few months later, Goku and King Kai are observing the Intergalactic Tournament as several of the Z-Fighters have entered. The tournament is then crashed by the Galaxy Soldiers, a group of space pirates led by the tyrant Bojack. King Kai tells Goku that the Galaxy Soldiers had been imprisoned in a star by the Kais but due to his death at the hands of Cell, they were able to escape. Goku watches and sees that the Galaxy Soldiers are easily defeating the Z-Fighters and that Bojack has caught Gohan in a bear hug and will crush him to death. Goku then uses Instant Transmission to teleport to the fight and punches Bojack away from Gohan. Gohan is then inspired by this and becomes a Super Saiyan 2 and massacres the Galaxy Soldiers. Goku then spends the next seven years training and manages to reach both a Super Saiyan 2 and a Super Saiyan 3.

### Majin Buu

In Age 774, Goku is allowed to return to Earth for one day in order to compete in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament and meet his friends and new son, Goten, who was born after Goku died. Goku met with his friends and family, including Gohan’s new girlfriend Videl (the daughter of Hercule). Goku watched the Junior division to see Goten and Trunks fight. When it came time for the tournament proper to begin Goku was slated to fight against Vegeta. Before they had the chance to fight the tournament was temporarily postponed as Videl was nearly beaten to death in her match against Spopovich, who unbeknownst to them was being empowered and controlled by the wizard Babidi along with his partner Yamu. The Z-Fighters were then forced out of the tournament as both Spopovich and Yamu attacked Gohan during his match with Kibito. After this Shin and Kibito introduce themselves as the Supreme Kai and his assistant respectively. They tell the group the truth that Spopovich and Yamu were under the command of Babidi who had the pair look for individuals with great power so that they could drain their energy so that they could reawaken the monster Majin Buu and dominate the Universe. The group tails the pair to Babidi’s ship and watches as he kills them. After that Dabura, Babidi’s second-in-command, ambushes them, kills Kibito and turns Krillin and Piccolo into stone. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Shin then enter Babidi’s ship and face off against his men. Vegeta fights Pui-Pui and disposes of him quickly after toying with him. Goku then faces off against Yakon and kills him by filling him full of energy. Gohan then faces against Dabura however Vegeta is unimpressed and complains that Gohan has gotten weak. Babidi senses this and attempts to possess Vegeta. This succeeds and Vegeta and Goku are teleported back to the tournament arena. Vegeta challenges Goku to battle, and then begins to slaughter the audience in order to pressure Goku to fight. The two are then sent to a mountain range to fight. The two go Super Saiyan 2 and have a brutal battle. As Vegeta is possessed any damage he deals to Goku also gives energy to Majin Buu to be reawakened. Vegeta reveals that he allowed Babidi to take him over for the power boost. Goku admonishes Vegeta for giving the entire planet and his family up just so that he could surpass him. Goku then senses Majin Buu’s release and begs Vegeta to stop fighting. Vegeta agrees after a few minutes but knocks Goku unconscious and leaves to fight Buu himself after eating a Senzu. Goku then awakes and is unable to sense either Gohan’s or Vegeta’s energy and assumes that both died fighting Buu. Goku then leaves for the Lookout and is healed by Dende before gathering the Dragon Team there for a plan. Goku then tries to teach Trunks and Goten to fuse with the help of Piccolo and Krillin who were brought back to normal after Dabura was killed by Buu. Bulma then tells the group that the Dragon Radar is still at Capsule Corp. and Babidi contacts the entire world via telepathy to announce that both he and Buu will be obliterating the planet city by city. Goku then sends Trunks to get the radar while he distracts the pair. Goku then teleports to their location and turns into a Super Saiyan 3 to fight Buu. The two have a quick but destructive match, however Goku cuts it short as he wants Goten and Trunks to defeat Buu as they will be the next heroes of Earth after the Z-Fighters die. Before leaving Goku gives Buu the idea that Babidi is using him and after Babidi begins insulting Buu for not killing Goku, Buu punches Babidi’s head off killing him. Goku returns to the lookout to continue training the kids, but Baba appears and tells him that it is time to return to the Otherworld. Goku bids his friends farewell and returns. Goku then senses that Gohan is still alive and is training with Shin and Kibito in the Sacred World of the Kais. Goku then teleports there and helps them train. The group decides to test the Z Sword, which Gohan was training with by having him try to cut through the strongest material in the universe, Kachin. Goku grabs a cube of it and flings it at Gohan who attempts to cut it in half, however the sword breaks in half. The Old Kai, the former Grand Supreme Kai, comes out of the Z Sword and then agrees to train Gohan. Goku then watches Gotenks, the fusion of Goten and Trunks, fight Super Buu, the original Majin Buu cast out his evil but it had absorbed him creating Super Buu. The two have a massive battle, however Gotenks defuses. Gohan, having finished his training, goes to the battle and brutally beats Buu. Buu then decides to absorb Piccolo and Gotenks. Super Buu then begins trouncing Gohan, and Old Kai decides to give Goku his life so that he may return to the Earth, fuse with Gohan with the Potara Earrings, and defeat Buu. Goku then arrives and cuts Buu in half before throwing one of the earrings at Gohan, however he fails in catching it. Goku then turns into a Super Saiyan 3 to distract Buu while Gohan searches for the earring. Gotenks then defuses inside Buu, causing Buu’s power to drop heavily. Buu then absorbs Gohan and becomes stronger than ever. Vegeta then appears, having been granted a day back to the land of the living to help defeat Buu. Goku then tells Vegeta to fuse with him, however he refuses and attempts to fight Buu himself but is beaten. Vegeta then reluctantly agrees to fuse after Goku tells him that Buu has killed every living being on Earth, including both their families. Goku then tells Vegeta that fusion via Potara will be permanent, much to Vegeta’s chagrin but he decides to go through with it anyway (unknown to Goku the fusion would only be permanent if a deity was involved and otherwise the fusion would last only an hour). The two then become Vegito and easily defeat Buu. Buu then attempts to absorb Vegito, however Vegito let him do it as he had an energy shield up and would not be fully absorbed and able to free Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, and Gohan. Vegito’s time limit then runs out and he defuses. Goku and Vegeta then travel to Super Buu’s brain and attempt to free the group as well as the fat Majin Buu. As this happens a projection of Super Buu appears and the pair fight him off. They then grab the group and escape, causing Super Buu to transform into his original form, known as Kid Buu. Kid Buu then decides to destroy the planet. Goku then sees Hercule, his dog Bee, and Dende and decides to save them which causes him to drop the group he rescued before teleporting away with Vegeta when Kibito Kai, the fusion of Kibito and Shin, appears to save them. Kid Buu then tracks them down at the Sacred World of the Kais. Goku and Vegeta then have a match of Rock-Paper-Scissors in order to see who will get to fight Buu. Goku wins and engages Buu and fights on an equal level with Buu after going into Super Saiyan 3, but as his living body is not used to the transformation and as he was already exhausted, is unable to fight. Vegeta then jumps into the fight so that Goku could regain his energy but Goku found himself unable to do so. Vegeta was then beaten brutally but was saved by both Hercule and a reformed Majin Buu, who had befriended Hercule before he cast out his evil, and the two attempted to fight off Kid Buu. Goku then attempts to charge a massive Spirit Bomb. Around this time both Dende and King Kai contact New Namek so that they could use Porunga to first to restore the Earth and second to resurrect everyone on Earth killed since Babidi arrived there (except for those that were evil). Vegeta then contacts King Kai so that he could convince the Earthlings to share their energy to the Spirit Bomb, however many refuse due to not knowing who Vegeta is. Hercule then chimes in and manages to convince the entire world to share their energy. Even with the combined energy of the entire Earth, the Dragon Team, New Namek, and the Other World the Spirit Bomb is still unable to fully defeat Buu, as he manages to catch it and starts pushing it away from him. Dende then wishes for Goku to have all of his energy restored, allowing for Goku then giving more strength to the Spirit Bomb and destroys Buu, however before doing so Goku wishes that Kid Buu would be reincarnated as a good person. Goku and Vegeta are then healed by Dende and find an unconscious Fat Buu and they decide to spare him as he had already cast out his evil. They then teleport back to Earth and celebrate with their friends and family. Six months later, the Dragon Team summons Shenron so that the memory of Majin Buu is erased from every Earthling, except theirs.

### Wrath of the Dragon

Around this time, Goku was asked to go to Capsule Corp. for an emergency. He arrives with Goten, and Krillin and meets with Gohan, Videl, Bulma, and a mysterious old man named Hoi with a music box. The group tells him that the music box contains a man named Tapion, who must be released in order to avert a great catastrophe. Goku attempts to open it and is unable to, and the group decides to use the Dragon Balls to open it. They do so, and Tapion is livid upon release and demands to be resealed in the box, before running off after being informed they were unable to. Around this time the lower half of a giant monster appears and wreaks havoc around West City and is forced to disappear by the combined force of Gohan, Videl, and Tapion. The next night, Tapion sleeps in a room made for him by Bulma that emulates the music box, however he destroys it after having a terrible nightmare. Goku, Gohan, Goten, and Videl then visit Capsule Corp. to check on him. Tapion then tells the Dragon Team of the monster’s, Hirudegarn, lower half was on a rampage and that the upper half may unite with it if the group does not kill him. However, Hoi appears with the lower half and engages the group. Tapion then attempts to play his ocarina to dispel Hirudegarn, however the upper half appears and unites with its lower half. The Z-Fighters then try to fight the creature, however the creature easily defeats them, but Hoi was killed in the fight. Tapion at one point managed to seal Hirudegarn in himself and urges Trunks to take his sword and kill him, however Trunks hesitates allowing for Hirudegarn to escape. Goku then turns into a Super Saiyan 3 tells Trunks to cut off Hirudegarn before killing the monster with the Dragon Fist. The Dragon Team then sees Tapion off as he leaves the planet back to his home planet.

### Life in Peace

Two years later, Chi Chi forced Goku to become a radish farmer as the Ox King lost most of his fortune in a fire and could no longer support the Son family. At some point the Dragon Team was invited to Hercule’s party at his newly opened hotel. While everyone is eating at the banquet, two attack pods land nearby. Out of the pods came Tarble, Vegeta’s younger brother, and Gure, Tarble’s wife. Tarble then reveals that he arrived in order to get help from Vegeta to defeat two former Freeza soldiers, Abo and Kado. The Z-Fighters then argue over who will fight the two soldiers and Goku decides to have them pull the largest radish to see who will fight them. Trunks then wins and the group returns to the hotel to await their arrival. Abo and Kado then arrive and the Z-Fighters then allow Goten to join in to make it a fair fight. Goten and Trunks then fight the invading Aliens and force them to fuse into the being Aka. Goten and Trunks then fused into Gotenks and easily outclassed him and sent him into a lake. Aka then emerges and begins firing wildly in an attempt to kill the Dragon Team. The Z-Fighters then deflect the blasts before it can injure anyone or completely destroy the hotel, before Goku and Vegeta spring into action to defeat Aka. Goku then tricks Vegeta to look away allowing him to defeat Aka himself with a single punch. They then resume the party and have Tarble, Gure, and both Abo and Kado, who decided to stop being evil, join them. Goku and Vegeta then argue over the food and nearly begin fighting.

### Achieving Godhood

Two years later, Goku is farming when Goten delivers his lunch to him and Goku then decides to take a break to train. Goku then rescues Goten when he accidentally drives off a cliff and the two spend the day together. When the pair begin speaking about Gohan and Videl’s wedding, Hercule arrives and offers Goku 100 million zeni for his help in defeating Buu. Goku accepts so that Chi Chi would let him stop working and train at King Kai’s Planet. Goku then travels to the Planet and accidently causes King Kai to crash his car into his house, making him have to rebuild it while Goku trains there. While training, Goku overhears King Kai mention his name in a conversation with Old Kai and Kibito Kai as well as the name of a figure named Beerus and questions him about it, but King Kai changes the subject. Goku then remembers and yells in fear that he forgot that it was Bulma’s birthday but sees King Kai act strange and refuses to leave until he explains why. Goku then threatens to punch King Kai’s house until he explains and King Kai complies. King Kai then tells Goku that the God of Destruction, Beerus, was going to arrive at the planet in search of the fabled Super Saiyan God who was prophesied to duel with him and that none of the Kais wanted for Goku to meet him in fear he may be killed in battle. Goku then exclaims that he still wants to try his hand at fighting Beerus but King Kai senses his arrival and forces Goku inside the house. Beerus and his attendant, Whis, arrive and speak with King Kai but spot Goku through a window and demand to speak with him. Goku emerges and is questioned over the Super Saiyan God but responds that he had never heard of it before, and he then asks to fight Beerus. Beerus agrees and Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan to initiate the battle. Goku is unable to land a single hit on Beerus even after transforming into a Super Saiyan 2 and even as a Super Saiyan 3, he is unable to affect the God who then gets bored and flicks Goku in the head sending him flying. Beerus and Whis then leave for Earth in search of the other Saiyans and Goku upon waking up realizing that Earth is in danger. King Kai then forces Goku to stay on his planet in fear that the next time he faces Beerus he would be killed. Goku complies and watches with King Kai as Beerus and Whis crash Bulma’s party. After a few hours Beerus starts a fight with the Z-Fighters and outpowers everyone before deciding to obliterate the Earth. Goku then teleports in and asks Beerus if he could summon Shenron to ask him about the Super Saiyan God and how to achieve it, and Beerus agrees. Shenron then tells them that in order to become a Super Saiyan God, a ritual must be performed in which five individuals with Saiyan blood must give their energy to another. The group then notes that they do not have enough Saiyans with them before Videl announces her pregnancy and joins with the ritual which succeeds in giving Goku divine powers. Goku and Beerus then leave the area and begin a lengthy battle that takes them to the Earth’s outer atmosphere. During the battle, Goku loses the Super Saiyan God form and reverts to his base form but retains some of his Godly powers and continues the fight. Goku then becomes too exhausted to continue fighting and over-exerts himself in an attempt to stop a Sphere of Destruction from hitting the Earth, which causes him to plummet back to the party. Beerus then flies down and charges a blast seemingly to destroy the planet, but then fakes falling asleep from exhaustion and Whis carries him off before thanking Goku for the fight. Goku then joins the party.

### Training with Whis

Months later, Goku returns to farming but still wants to train and fight but is unable to due to Chi Chi wanting him to focus on work and to set a good example on his new granddaughter, Pan. One day while visiting Gohan and his family, Goku overhears that Vegeta had convinced Whis to teach him on Beerus’ Planet. Goku then waits for Whis’ return to Earth and begins pestering him until he agrees to train him. Whis then takes Goku to Beerus’ Planet where he puts both Goku and Vegeta to do chores such as changing Beerus’ sheets, which proves difficult as Beerus refuses to wake up and attacks them. Goku and Vegeta then train with Whis and discover a new transformation called Super Saiyan Blue, which combines their God Ki and Super Saiyan forms, but are unable to hang on to it. At one point Beerus awakes and tells Whis to send them into his staff so that they can get stronger faster. While in their Goku and Vegeta manage to achieve Super Saiyan Blue and continue training, however they start to starve and find a box of pizza nearby which they eat. The pair then are pulled out of the staff and are confronted by Beerus who was enraged they ate his food and he then chases them through a forest.

### Freeza's Resurrection

While this happens, Whis receives a message from Bulma who tells him the Freeza was resurrected and is invading Earth. Whis tells Goku and Vegeta that it would take him 35 minutes to transfer them to Earth, but Goku elects to use Instant Transmission instead and succeed when Gohan turns into a Super Saiyan to fight Freeza’s Forces. Goku and Vegeta then engage the soldiers, with Vegeta having killed Captain Ginyu (who had swapped bodies with Tagoma, one of Freeza’s elite soldiers) and Goku saved Gohan from being killed by Freeza. Goku then sees Piccolo had died in order to save Gohan from Freeza’s Death Beam and Goku decides to revive Piccolo after the invasion is repelled. Goku then begins to fight Freeza and they are on even terms. Goku then transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue and Freeza transforms into a new form called Golden Freeza. Freeza then gets the upper hand but quickly loses it due to his inexperience in his new form and inability to properly use it without wasting his stamina. Goku then knocks Freeza to the ground out of his Golden form and offers to spare Freeza if he leaves Earth. Goku is then shot in the chest by Freeza’s second-in-command, Sorbet and Freeza tortures and prepares to kill Goku, but is stopped by Vegeta who then fights Freeza. Goku then stays with the rest of the group and watches the fight and is horrified when Freeza blows up the planet when Vegeta takes too long to finish him off. Whis then tells the group that he could turn back time with his Temporal Do Over so that Goku could kill Freeza. After this happens, Goku charges Freeza and obliterates him with a Kamehameha. Vegeta admonishes Goku, but stops when the group explains what happened. They then resurrect Piccolo
