Goku Chronicles

The Goku Chronicles was the first project in the GCYU, and sets the basis for what it would become. It follows the story of Goku, who over the course of the series turns from an inexperienced child to one of the greatest heroes to ever live. This is also the only show in the GCYU that has multiple seasons because the format of a regular GCYU series was not reached until season 3. The Goku Chronicles were instrumental in the start of the GCYU and what it would become later.

## Production

Goku Chronicles started with the video "GOKU FORTNITE" which was published on August 16th, 2022. At that point it was not supposed to be a series, and both this episode and "I BOUGHT GOKU FORTNITE" are only a few seconds long. The Goku Chronicles became a full fledged series when the third episode was released, "GOKU SKYRIM?!?" which first started the plot. The first season followed a more short-form version of content that slowly got longer as the series progressed. The longest episode in season 1 was the finale, at 6:20, while season 2's finale was 8:21, and season 3 episode 3, "Maximum Carnage" was 20:26. Throughout the series, Ian Bortz began reacting to the Goku Chronicles, and eventually joined the Goku Productions team. Some notable other videos that came out during the Goku Chronicles include "Lore, Timeline, and Reveals" which answered some questions about the series, and "First Ever G23" which unveiled the first draft for the phase 1 slate.

## Synopsis

### Season 1

Goku wakes up in a new universe with no memory, but after seeing an alternate version of himself, realizes who he is. He then forms a team with 616 Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin, and sets out in search of the dragon balls. Along the way he comes across Black Panther, Charlemagne, Tyler the Creator, Robert Pattison, Saul Goodman, Barack Obama, Twice, and Spider-Man, with Black Panther and Spider-Man joining the team. Piccolo goes ahead of the team to find a ball, but is killed by Lebron James. After defeating both Lebron James and Freiza, Goku used the dragon balls to summon Shenron and go back home.

### Season 2

After two years on his home universe, Shenron comes back from a trip telling Goku he needs to return to 616 and find the infinity stones before Thanos. After many failed attempts to transport universes, Goku meets back up with his team and they set out in search of the stones, first going to the library to learn about them. He finds the space stone and the reality stone, but Krillin and Black Panther are killed by Thanos. Goku then fights Dr Strange for the mind stone and time stone and is mysteriously killed from behind. Just before he completely dies Shenron transports his soul to the soul carin and he fights Trigon for the soul stone. Then, Goku awakes in the real world to find that the rest of his team was killed, and Shenron tells him he needs to complete the gauntlet to bring his friends back. He travels to the labyrinthine where the last dragon ball was and uses a special mask to find the power stone. After defeating Thanos in Whiterun, Goku forges the gauntlet, but is tricked, as Shenron was really Darkseid in disguise the whole time. Darkseid snaps and half of the population is dusted.

### Season 3

10 years later, Darkseid, still in possession of the gauntlet, plans to use it to reform the multiverse in his image. Fearing that he would be stopped by Goku, he works with Dr Doom to create clones using Goku's DNA left on the battlefield. He also uses Charles Xavier as a mole to gain information on Goku, who has been hiding out in the woods and has given up being a hero. This accidently brings him out of retirement, and a team is formed with several other Marvel heroes dubbed the Avengers of the Multiverse, including Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, etc. Goku tries to think of ways to stop Darkseid and becomes a were-dragon, but this turns out to not be helpful. After killing Carnage, another pawn of Darkseid's, he learns about the fact that there is a mole on his team. Xavier blows up Goku's house, killing Daredevil, Black Widow, and Iron Fist. Goku then goes and kills Charles, as well as finds the chaos blade, a blade that will help him kill Goku. The team regroups with many more members and prepared for the oncoming battle, while Goku went after Darkseid himself with information given to him by the Flash. There Goku meets G1, the first clone of him, but they part ways vowing not to fight each other. As Goku then fights Darkseid, the rest of the team fights a bunch of dragons, which results in many casualties. Beast sacrifices himself in order to stop a nuke that was heading towards Skyrim. Goku then fights Darkseid, Apocalypse, and a horde of parademons, and comes out as the last survivor. He snaps and revives the other half of population but dies a hero. Cyclops vows to remember Goku as a hero and becomes the new leader of the X-Men.
