## Biography

### Dragon Ball Z Kai

#### SSJ Saga

##### Raditz: Spared Z Fighter

After saving Gohan from falling down a waterfall, Goku drops by the Kame House with his wife and son, to introduce him to Bulma, Yamcha, Master Roshi, and Krillin. Bulma and Yamcha tell him that Tien and Chiaotzu train with their wives Lunch and Ran Ran. They're overpowered by the Shinhan daughter Kushami about the same age as Gohan, her foil. All seems to be well, but suddenly, Goku senses a huge power nearby. The new threat arrives from space; Raditz, Goku's older brother. Raditz reveals to Goku his Saiyan heritage, and informs him that he was originally sent to Earth to destroy the planet's inhabitants and prepare it to be sold, but had forgotten about it due to his head injury as a baby. When Goku refuses to carry out his forgotten mission, Raditz delivers a single kick to Goku's ribs, knocking him down, and kidnaps Gohan, giving Goku an ultimatum: Raditz will kill Gohan unless Goku kills one hundred humans within the next twenty-four hours, and leaves them on the beach.

To defeat Raditz and save the Earth, Krillin and Master Roshi offer to help, but Goku does not accept their request, due to the fact that if they die again, they cannot be brought back, since they have already been killed. Piccolo, who had been listening to Raditz's speech while hiding behind the Kame House, asks Goku to help him fight this new being, so they join forces. Everyone else joins in. When the Z Fighters find Raditz with Gohan locked up in his spacepod, Goku gives Raditz one last chance to free his son, but Raditz refuses. The Z Fighters and Piccolo take off their weighted clothing to begin their fight. Even with their combined strength, Raditz still holds the upper hand. With the help of Gohan unleashing his inner powers to attack Raditz and weaken him, The Z Fighters and Piccolo come up with a plan to win.

Raditz coming up with the worst possibility that him or Goku could die from Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, he informs Piccolo and Goku that two even more powerful Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa are on their way to Earth, and will arrive in one year. Goku stops Piccolo as Raditz continues on about the betrayal he dealt with. Raditz is offered a request to join the Z Fighters in which he accepts. Goku has trouble training alongside him, full of psychological conflict in the brothers' relationship. Raditz preferred training with Piccolo. Their deceased parents step in for support. Bardock tries to convince Raditz that Goku isn't a traitor. The parents get revived by the Dragon Balls.

##### Prince Vegeta's Betrayal

By the time Goku arrives, Yamcha had been killed by a Saibaman, Chiaotzu had self-destructed in a failed attempt to kill Nappa, Tien Shinhan had killed himself by putting all his strength into a final but futile Spirit Tri-Beam, and Piccolo had sacrificed himself to save Gohan from a powerful attack launched by Nappa, which inadvertently killed Kami as well. Raditz is injured after surprisingly attacking the 2 Saiyans headfirst. Bardock is about to strike, but is suddenly stopped by his premonitions.The entire Kame House are weakened. Goku arrives on the scene, saving Gohan and the less powerful women with the Nimbus Cloud from Nappa's power, and when he is informed by them that everybody else has died in the battle, Goku goes in a rage, powering up, surprising Vegeta with his new power. Much to everyone's surprise, Goku had become powerful enough to defeat Nappa without much difficulty, avoiding Nappa's attacks, and taking Nappa's ultimate, the Break Cannon, head on. The Saiyans transform into Oozarus.Vegeta commands Nappa to stand down, Nappa is about to back down but before he does, the remaining Z Fighters go after him. When Nappa is about to be killed by them, Gine in tears intervenes with a speech; Yajirobe attempts to take their enemies' lives using his katana, but is stopped by Goku, who convinces him to spare his life to give him a second chance at changing their evil ways and hopes to have a rematch one day.

After the battle with the powerful Saiyans, Korin is out of Senzu Beans, so the low-class Saiyan family have to stay behind in Wukong Hospital while Gohan, Krillin, Bulma and the others go to planet Namek to find the Namekian Dragon Balls in order to revive their fallen friends.

##### The Christmas Tree of Might

Goku and Raditz learn that Turles won't get the Christmas tree in the end. Bardock is the Santa to his grinch, naughty Raditz becomes nice like Goku.

##### A Father's Wildest Dream

After a few weeks, Korin grows a new batch of beans and sends Yajirobe to give one to the Saiyans, which heals them completely. The then use Dr. Brief's new spaceship, which he constructed from Goku's original Attack Ball, to go to Namek. During his trip to Namek, the artificial gravity machine in Goku's ship malfunctions, causing it to create 100x earth's gravity, nearly crushing Goku. When he finally gains control of the machine, however, he decides to leave it on this high setting in order to train to fight Frieza. However Raditz advises his younger brother to steer clear of Frieza, claiming that he is the strongest being in the universe and that they both would stand no chance against his evil might.

Arriving on Namek, once again our Saiyans enter a battle already in progress, this time saving Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta and Nappa from the assault of Recoome, a member of Frieza's elite fighting squad, the Ginyu Force, who were called to dispose of the 4. Goku heals the wounded with Senzu Beans, and shows the brothers' new powers by defeating Recoome with one elbow to the stomach, and then takes on Burter and Jeice together. Raditz fools them into thinking their power level is only 5,000, because they rose their power in only the instant they attacked or defended. After dodging Jeice and Burter's attacks, they then take out Burter, but is taken by surprise by the leader of the Force, Captain Ginyu, who has the ability to switch bodies with anyone he sees fit. After a little sparring, they power up in front of Ginyu, with their power levels scaring Ginyu and Jeice, as all was much higher than theirs. Critically injuring himself, Captain Ginyu then swaps bodies with the more powerful Goku but cannot fully control his new body and power. Vegeta takes this chance to battle him, seriously injuring Goku's body. Goku manages to get his body back after intercepting a beam sent by Captain Ginyu to swap bodies with Vegeta.

Goku's body, worn out and beaten, uses a Medical Machine inside Frieza's spaceship taking several hours to heal. When he emerges, once again it is to join a battle in progress, where the other Saiyans meet the doom that's against Frieza. Goku hears Vegeta's tearful realization about the torture Frieza inflicted on their race, ordering Gohan and Krillin to bring them back in the Rejuvenation Tank. In anger, he declares that he will defeat Frieza in the name of the Saiyans and Namekians he killed. Goku and Frieza's battle begins, with Goku still having a decent amount of confidence in his abilities. Goku and Frieza start off evenly matched, but Frieza gains the upper hand and Goku is quickly overcome. Goku's confidence transforms into frustration and fright at Frieza's power. Even with Frieza giving himself handicaps (such as not using his hands), Goku still cannot outmatch the tyrant.

After Goku combines everything including his Kamehameha to no effect, Frieza starts pummeling Goku, but Piccolo (who had been resurrected and was transported to Namek to help), comes to save the day. The rest attempt to distract Frieza from Goku who is informed about King Kai, the reason why Piccolo was able to defend him. Worn out, Goku begins to laugh, along with his friends, who believe Frieza has been defeated. But even Goku's most powerful attack fails to kill Frieza. Finally, when Frieza almost kills Krillin and critically injures Piccolo, the Saiyans, in anger, tap into their inner power reserves and transform into Super Saiyans.

The newly formed SSJ Force led by Goku eventually battle Frieza and at first, against Frieza at 70% power, they easily outmatch him. Then they taunt Frieza into going to 100%, saying how due to the damage sustained in his 70% form, he won't be able to hold onto his full power for long. After Frieza attempts to destroy Namek, Frieza finally goes to 100% power. At first, Raditz made it seem that Frieza has outmatched them, but then Frieza is shocked to hear that Raditz held back and was relieved that that wasn't his full power. As time goes on, Frieza begins to lose his stamina and his power level drops like a stone. They no longer wish to fight Frieza because it is pointless. The Saiyans then fly off and let the space tyrant go. In desperation and frustration, Frieza uses his Death Saucer attack, creating two pink Destructo Discs and throwing them at the Saiyans. They move too quickly for the attack and maneuver so that Frieza is in between them and the disks. Vegeta yells a warning to Frieza, but Frieza is too slow and is cut in half, losing an arm in addition to his legs. The weak tyrant begs his former inferiors to help him. The SSJ heroes, believing that Frieza does not deserve to be forgiven or spared, show no mercy. Bitter at his defeat, Frieza uses it to launch a powerful energy wave at them. Goku notices the blast and fires an Angry Kamehameha at Frieza, defeating him.

##### SSJ Parallels

2 different sagas occur simultaneously: SSJ Parallels and The Garlic Jr. Saga. Goku is the protagonist in SSJ Parallels, his son Gohan the protagonist in The Garlic Jr. Saga. The SSJ Force then fly to Frieza's spaceship and presses buttons to try to cause the ship to fly, however, it does not work and Frieza's spaceship falls into the lava. Goku takes his own spaceship. The Saiyans quickly escape Namek using the Ginyu Force space pods. The pods takes them to Planet Yardrat, which was going to be the Ginyu Force's next target. The Earthlings, whom were teleported to Earth by a wish made with the Namekian Dragon Balls learn that they're alive as expected. When they decide to transport the SSJ Force back to Earth, they straight-out decline, their Saiyan nature hungry to train stating that they'll return later. While on Yardrat, they learn a new technique called the Instant Transmission. Goku is a quick learner, the first to use it. Everyone else sucked at it, they submit to reliance on him. Goku transmits them, however their genderbent counterparts are standing right in front of them. 5 long-haired women (his female self, Veggie, Napa, Radisu, Badaku) and one benevolent Raditz-like man (Gin) all have the same anxious reaction. The female version introduces herself as Son Gokuu. Everyone gets excited over the idea of training with their genderbent selves through duels. Goku comically went too far towards Son Gokuu. Vegeta and Veggie both facepalmed. Raditz has a conversation with Radisu about how stressful their older sibling roles are. Bardock is the only one to tie (with Badaku). Nappa and Gine lost (the winners from the other team Napa and Gin), they quickly shake hands and bid each other farewell for a good match. Their immortal counterparts abruptly appear. All 8 Saiyans are in between the 2 timelines.Kakarot is about to attack Goku, but he dodges it. He is less powerful than his superior Prince Vegeta. The regretful Saiyan simply breaks down, fainting at the sight of his better self. Goku knocks him out to be sure that he stays unconscious. Raditz bluffs their new powers that they're all immortal. number of defeats by him and our other Saiyans, Goku calls the alternate counterpartS 'monsters'. The Saiyan heroes leave to continue their training, pointing out the immortal SSJ's teamwork is made up of lies rather than real cooperation.

#### Strawberry Saga by icecry

Two years later, Goku returns to Earth where he is confronted by Trunks, his and Bulma's half-Saiyan son from the future. The teenage Super Saiyan had just killed both Mecha-Frieza and his father King Cold a few moments before Goku's arrival. Trunks then tests Goku's Super Saiyan strength in battle by assaulting him furiously with his sword, which Goku knocks away multiple times with one finger (albeit charged with energy), claiming that he knew Trunks would not use his full power.

Satisfied, Trunks gives Goku medicine for a heart virus that he will contract in one or two years, telling him to use it when he starts feeling the virus' effects. Future Trunks also warns him about two androids that will threaten the Earth in three years. Goku, Gohan and Piccolo then spend the next three years training for this new threat. However, Future Trunks' visit somehow alters the onset of the virus, so it does not manifest during those three years (six months prior to the Androids arrival). Seeing no point in using the medicine when nothing appears to be wrong with him, Goku stopped taking it.

#### Androids Saga

Three years later, two androids, Dr. Gero (as Android 20) and Android 19, appear and attack a city. The Z Fighters confront them, Tien comically points out that Yamcha is first to be attacked, having been impaled by Dr. Gero's hand and having his energy stolen. However, he is saved by the use of a Senzu Bean, and the Z Fighters lead the two killing machines out of the city to fight. Despite being a Super Saiyan, Goku is bested by Android 19 when he begins to drastically weaken from the heart disease he was warned of, which starts manifesting itself during the fight. However, the three other Super Saiyans manage to save Goku before he can be defeated by the androids, and, after toying with it for a bit, destroys Android 19 with ease, enjoying the battle greatly. Yamcha takes Goku to Chi-Chi to get the medicine that will save his life from the killer virus. Meanwhile, the rest of the Z Fighters learn from Trunks, who has returned to help them fight the androids, that history had somehow been altered, and that the androids of his time, Future Android 17 and Future Android 18, had not been the ones they were fighting. Soon after, Dr. Gero states he will unleash No.17 and No.18, and he flees from the battlefield. They try to stop Dr. Gero from activating them but fail. However, once Dr. Gero activates 17 and 18, they are revealed to be unruly and kill him, and activate another android, Android 16, as well, who was solely created to be Goku's assassin.

#### Cell Saga

While the Z-Fighters try and fail to stop the androids, Piccolo (who had recently fused with Kami) discovers a new threat named Cell, a large biological life form created by Dr. Gero, made with DNA taken from Goku, his allies, and foes they fought in the past. Cell was designed to absorb Androids 17 and 18 in order to achieve a perfect state, kill Goku, and conquer the cosmos. Cell hunts down the androids and absorbs Android 17, transforming into his second stage.Meanwhile, Goku heals from his sickness and takes the other Saiyans to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's Lookout to obtain a year of training in one day under heavy gravity and incredibly volatile temperatures. While in the chamber, Goku gets to Super Saiyan Third Grade and Gohan believes that they can beat Cell with this power, however Goku explains that his speed has decreased in that form and the power to keep the form is too much. Goku realizes that half Saiyan hybrids like Future Trunks can turn Super Saiyan, so he trains Gohan intensely and helps him become a Super Saiyan as well. During this training, Goku notices that the potential Gohan has can easily surpass Goku's own powers, especially after Gohan managed during their training to transform into an unprecedented Super Saiyan level before losing consciousness during a training session, and that, if he cannot kill Cell, Gohan will. Basically Gohan, is now his own father's mentor due to King Kai's training from Piccolo.

While Goku trains with his sons, Cell absorbs Android 18 and reaches his perfect form thanks to Vegeta's interests to fight Cell in his perfect form. Vegeta was easily defeated when he challenged Cell, as did Nappa, who failed because his new Super Saiyan Third Grade form had too much muscle mass to hit Cell quick enough, a flaw Goku noticed in the chamber with Trunks. Raditz wasn't any better, befriending Yamcha as they both have the shared Butt-Monkey characteristic in common. After Goku and the boys finish their training, Cell announces that he will be holding the Cell Games in ten more days, in order to give a chance to anyone who wants to challenge him. For ten days, Goku and Gohan stay on Earth to train and relax while maintaining their Super Saiyan form the entire time. Goku also uses this time to travel to New Namek to ask Dende to be the new guardian of Earth, as Piccolo had fused with Kami in an attempt to stop Cell, and the fusion had made the Dragon Balls useless. After Dende creates new Dragon Balls based on the old ones, Goku searches for those reactivated Dragon Balls in order to use them after they defeat Cell to correct everything Cell had put wrong.

After ten days have passed, the Z Fighters head to the Cell Games. After the supposed strongest person on Earth, Mr. Satan, is easily defeated, Goku offers to be the first Z Fighter to fight Cell, believing that he is no match for the villain in order to truly test Cell's abilities.Goku finds himself almost equally matched but still at a disadvantage against a heavily suppressed Perfect Cell in every way, and cannot seem to gain the upper hand after many attempts. Even after trying the Instant Kamehameha (a combination of the Instant Transmission and Kamehameha), which destroys Perfect Cell's upper half, he watches in horror as the android regenerates easily, thanks to Piccolo's cells in his body. After getting tired and worn out, Goku decides to give up and leave the battle to Gohan, whom he is convinced has the hidden power necessary to defeat Cell. Gohan then states that Goku had been holding back, only to learn he had not, leading to the conclusion that Gohan may be stronger than Goku, who was fighting at full power. Gohan then powers up to a point where his energy eclipses even Goku's, and fights with Cell, but halfheartedly. After Gohan tells Cell that when he gets angry he gets much stronger, Cell starts to get curious and tries to force Gohan's inner powers out of him by making his children, the Cell Jrs, attack Gohan's friends and his father. All the Z fighters cannot beat the Cell Jrs, including Goku, who was worn out from his battle with Cell. After Android 16 attempted self-destruct on Cell, who blasted him, 16 asks Mr. Satan to bring him (his remaining Android head) to Gohan, and he then tries to convince Gohan that fighting is sometimes needed. When Cell destroys Android 16's head, this triggers a change in Gohan, forcing him to ascend to Super Saiyan 2, a form in which he greatly surpasses Perfect Cell, even after the behemoth decides to unleash his earth-shattering Full Power and a further powered up Power Weighted form, which Gohan easily overcomes to the point of forcing him to regurgitate Android 18 because of the damage he has sustained.

When a beaten Cell tries to destroy the Earth as a last resort, Goku is forced to step in with his "Instant Transmission" technique when Cell is about to trigger his self-destruction. He teleports them both to King Kai's Planet, where he is killed by the explosion Cell caused, along with King Kai and his pets Bubbles and Gregory.However, Cell reconstructs himself as Super Perfect Cell, a trick even Cell himself did not know he had and uses the recently learned Instant Transmission to go back to Earth. Goku then motivates Gohan from the Other World to help fuel Gohan's Kamehameha wave against the reconstructed Super Perfect Cell, which, after a lengthy beam lock, successfully obliterates him. After Cell's defeat, Goku insists that he should stay dead, even though they could resurrect him, because he has attracted too many problems to Earth, like Frieza and the Red Ribbon Androids. Goku decides it will be safer for Earth if he does not return, and Earth has Gohan to protect it if needed.

#### Great Saiyaman Saga

He is reincarnated as his son Goten on Earth. Goku sees even the nerdy Gohan train to get stronger as Earth's heroes. Goten is a realist version of him, having the same memories as him. Goku is slightly concerned about how Goten will deal with the memories but believes in him.

#### Buu Saga

Through a Crystal Ball, Goku watches the fight between Super Saiyan 3 Gotenksand Super Buu with much anticipation, amazed that the two boys who, alone, could only access the Super Saiyan state achieved Super Saiyan 3 so quickly when fused. As Gotenks is about to finish Super Buu after a lengthy battle, he reverts to his base form and quickly defuses. Gohan (after having his hidden power released) then arrives, effortlessly thrashing Buu with his newfound powers, but Super Buu escapes by self-destructing until Goten and Trunks can fuse again an hour later, and he then absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo, gaining the upper hand. When Gohan fails due to Super Buu's stolen powers, Old Kai gives his life to Goku so that he may return to Earth to help Gohan. He and Goten can finally live as seperate individuals.

Using the last wish from the Namekian Dragon (the first two were spent restoring Earth to its normal condition and then reviving all those who died since Babidi's arrival except the evil ones), Dende wishes for Goku's full power to be restored. With his power restored, Goku powers up the Super Spirit Bomb even more, transforms into a Super Saiyan and stops Kid Buu's forward progress and the Super Spirit Bomb comes back to Kid Buu. After several moments reflecting over the events that led to this moment, Goku makes one last wish to himself, that Kid Buu be reborn as a good being so they can fight again one day. With the blessing of Earth's residents, Goku destroys Kid Buu. After Dende heals Goku and Vegeta, they find Majin Buu still alive. Vegeta attempts to finish him off but Goku convinces Vegeta to spare him. They are then teleported back to Earth and rejoice with their allies, with Goku announcing he has come back to life again..

Six months after the defeat of Kid Buu, Goku summons Shenron to erase Majin Buu from the Earthlings' minds. Later, Goku shows up late to Bulma's party due to him watching over dinosaur eggs.

#### Dragon Ball Super

Goku understands his strengths and weaknesses better.

Kefla flirts with Goku confirming that he only loves Bulma.

Kakarot calmly states that he would like to have another duel with Goku in the future. He and immortal Raditz leave to save other universes unlike Prince Vegeta and immortal Nappa whom stay neutral, preferring to train. Goku is flattered about Kakarot's admiration, Turles' morality is questionable. Broly and Chelai kiss in front of Bulma and Chi-Chi, Vegeta blaming Goku for introducing them too quickly.

### Dragon Ball GT

Goku, Trunks, and Pan save Christmas from 'Donkey'.

Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Bra, and the other Saiyans join the 3 the rest of the space trips. Adult Gotenks impresses Goku compared to his teen self. Bra is the 2nd after Pan to become a Super Saiyan, exciting Goku just as much as Vegeta who has seen her powerful enough for small reasons like shopping. A much braver Raditz doesn't mind splitting into groups at all.
