Son Goku

**Son Goku** is the current king of the Saiyans, a founding member of the Jump Force, and the first mortal to Master Ultra Instinct. When his irresponsible behavior restarted a conflict between the Saiyans and the Tuffles, Goku was denied the right to become king, stripped of his Power Pole, and banished by his father Bardock to Earth. While exiled on Earth, Goku learned humility, finding love with Bulma Briefs, and helping to save his new friends from a destructive threat sent by his adoptive brother Vegeta. Due to his selfless act of sacrifice, Goku redeemed himself and gained the power of the Super Saiyan, which he then used to defeat Vegeta's schemes of genocide.

Upon being welcomed back to Planet Vegeta as a hero, Goku was forced to return to the Earth in order to retrieve Vegeta after he had survived falling through a black hole and had begun his attempt at world domination, having taken possession of a Dragon Ball. Goku joined the Jump Force under the guidance of M.O.N. and stood with them to stop the schemes of his own adopted brother, eventually following the newly formed team as they battled against Vegeta's army of Hollows during the Battle of Amestria until Vegeta was eventually defeated by the Jump Force, captured and returned onto Planet Vegeta to await justice for his crimes against the Earth.

Goku returned to Planet Vegeta having defeated his brother's schemes, as he then helped the Saiyan Armies restore peace across all of the galaxy during the Marauders' War. However the peace proved to be short lived as Goku then fought the Majins during the Second Majin Conflict as they had attempted to transform the universe into eternal darkness. During these events, Goku was reunited with Bulma who had become host to a Dragon Ball and a target of the Majins, with Goku being forced to free Vegeta from imprisonment for his aid. Eventually, the Dragon Ball was removed from Bulma's body and Vegeta seemingly sacrificed his life saving Goku from Demon God Dumplin, leading to the Majins and Majin Buu were all defeated. Goku renounced his claim to the throne and left Planet Vegeta for Earth so he could stay with Bulma back on Earth.

During his stay on Earth, Goku helped the Jump Force once again, this time in their attempts to locate Vegeta's Dragon Ball, leading to him joining the fight against the CCG. Following the CCG's defeat and the capture of Investigator Arima, the team had to stop the newly created Father, a rogue invention inadvertently created by Edward Elric which had threatened to wipe out all of humanity and replace it with its own Homonculi. Once Father had been defeated, Goku promised his Jump Force allies that he would return and went back to Planet Vegeta to investigate the visions he saw when being manipulated by Rias Gremory, which showed him the Dragon Balls. In his investigations, Goku realized that Vegeta still lived and had usurped Bardock's royal throne during Goku's absence.

To aid in both pursuing his brother and finding his father to return peace to Planet Vegeta, Goku sought help from Touya Mochizuki. However Goku was just too late to save his own father from death and, after witnessing Bardock's death, Goku met Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan and his brother. In the wake of his first encounter with Broly, Goku was banished to Sadale, where he was forced to compete in the Contest of Champions. After a reunion and subsequent fight with Naruto Uzumaki, the pair allied with the rogue Caulifla in order to save Planet Vegeta. After battling with Broly and losing an eye to him, Goku then had Vegeta unleash Golden Frieza and destroy Planet Vegeta, killing Broly in the process, although he escaped with the remaining Saiyans. Declaring that Planet Vegeta was all its people and not a place, Goku accepted his newfound position as king and decided to relocate the Saiyans on Earth.

Tragedy only continued to follow Goku. As they were en route to Earth, their ship was attacked by Omega Shenron and the Shadow Dragons, who sought the Dragon Ball which Vegeta took from Bardock's vault at the last moment. Goku witnessed Omega Shenron take the Dragon Ball and murder Vegeta and his people before he was flung from the ship and into deep space. He was picked up by the Soul Guardians and had teamed up with Renji Abarai and Chad to travel to Xeno's Throne. With the help of the Grand Priest, Goku had Mastered Ultra Instinct, and aided the nation of Shura and the Jump Force in defeating the Hollows and confronting Omega Shenron. However, Goku was unable to stop Omega Shenron from wishing on the Dragon Balls and erasing from existence half the universe's population before he escaped.

## Abilities

Goku is the strongest mortal warrior in the universe and one of the most powerful characters in the Anime Cinematic Universe, able to compete against seemingly any opponent. A prodigy of combat, he learned an extensive amount of combat while a young child and would continue to near-effortlessly learn practically any new technique he encountered. His natural talent for combat along with his unwavering drive have taken his power to unprecedented levels.

**Kamehameha:** Goku's signature move since obtaining it. It unleashes a powerful and long-stretching blue wave of energy from his cupped hands. It can be charged to compete with practically any enemy attack. Since mastering this technique, Goku has continued to improve on it and develop new variations of it.

**Kaioken:** While using it and any of its multipliers, Goku's various capacities and techniques are all proportionally increased. However, the strain of using too high a multiplier and/or for too long can be dangerous and greatly damage his body. As such, he ceased using it after his gaining Super Saiyan. While he can combine the two powers, Goku never tried this as doing so could lead to near-certain death. Later however, with his Super Saiyan Blue, taking advantage of his divine form's superior energy control and more naturally calm-minded nature, he was able to use the new version of the technique and more regularly.

**Spirit Bomb:** Easily Goku's most powerful technique, it allows Goku to channel *ki* from all sources of life that he can detect and focus it all into a single energy ball. Over time, Goku continually learned to expand the range of which he could gather energy, thereby increasing both the size and power of the Spirit Bomb. He reserves this technique as a last-ditch effort for the most powerful of foes.

**Instant Transmission:** This technique allows him to teleport to any location so long as he can find an energy source to home onto. However, it also greatly extends his ability to sense energy.

**Dragon Fist:** A technique that generates a giant gold serpentine-dragon from Goku’s charging body and extended fist that will attack and ensnare the target before erupting in a large explosion.

**Ultra Instinct:** During Dragon Ball GT, Goku unlocked a special state, enabling him to put to use angelic power, but only defensively. He eventually completed this state in Jump Force: Infinity Wars to defend and attack simultaneously with optimum efficiency. With this, Goku's physical and mental parameters are vastly augmented, providing him with not only equally increased combat performance, but also gives him access to the Ultra Instinct ability, allowing him to instinctively dodge and attack any nearby threat in the most effective way possible.

**Super Saiyan:** This form multiples Goku's base power 50 fold. In this form, Goku's muscle and height slight increase and his skin turns lighter. His eyes become noticeably sterner and more defined with green eyes. His hair becomes blond and stands with no lose strands. His power also generates yellow aura. When unleashing the full intensity of his power, Goku's aura also produces some slight electrical sparks. Goku's demeanor is greatly affected by this form, making him more aggressive and irritable.

* **Super Saiyan 2:** This form multiples Goku's base power 100 fold. In this form, Goku gains some changes; his hair grows longer and spikier, his forehead has only three bangs over it, making his hair more defined than his other previous Super Saiyan forms, along with disappearing hair strands surrounding the forehead which are exclusive to this form. His muscles also become more defined and his aura also generates electricity surrounding his body, while the aura grows markedly larger and more vibrant.
* **Super Saiyan 3:** This form multiples Goku's base power 400 fold. In this form, his hair reaches down to his thighs and his eyebrows vanish completely while making the forehead and eye ridges larger and more prominent. His muscle mass grows noticeable larger and more defined while his eyes gain green irises. His aura also becomes rounder with larger electrical sparks.
* **Super Saiyan God:** Super Saiyan God is a form well-beyond Super Saiyan 3. Goku's appearance in this form is slimmer with bright red hair shaped similar to that of his base form, red irises, slightly thinner, and a darker skin tone. His aura generates like an orange flame.
* **Super Saiyan Blue:** In Jump Force: Age of Father, Goku learned to synchronize Super Saiyan with Super Saiyan God, causing him to become a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, more commonly known as Super Saiyan Blue. This form is identical to Super Saiyan, only with cyanish-blue hair and eyes with a blue aura shaded by some gold. The form's power is a level that well-surpasses Super Saiyan God and offers increased levels of *ki* and emotional control. Goku learns to enhance the form's power through different means, including using the Kaio-ken while in this form, and use intense rage to further power-up the form.
* **Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken:** Thanks to the Super Saiyan Blue form's great *ki* and emotional control, Goku can utilize Kaioken alongside it with far less risk. In this state, Goku gains a double aura, leaving Goku to appear as a basic Super Saiyan Blue with his blue over while a larger red aura surrounds it.
