## Summary

**Son Goku** is the main protagonist of the *Dragon Ball* metaseries. A Saiyan, sent to Earth as a baby with the mission to destroy it, Goku became a kind-hearted boy after he bumped his head and was adopted by Grandpa Gohan. After defeating Kid Buu, Goku works as a radish farmer before learning of the existence of the phenomenally powerful God of Destruction Beerus, and seeks to fight and surpass him. In the process, he is introduced to the universes that exist beyond his own, and the amazing warriors that they contain.

## Powers and Stats

**Tier:** **3-A** as Super Saiyan God and Blue | **High 1-A** with Ultra Instinct | **High 1-A** **with Mastered Ultra instinct**

**Name:** Son Goku, Kakarot

**Origin:** Dragon Ball

**Gender:** Male

**Age:** 42 (physically 35) to 44 (physically 40)

**Classification:** Saiyan, Super Saiyan, Saiyan God

**Powers and Abilities:**

**Speed:** **FTL+** (Should be at least as fast as before, and if Goku's beliefs are correct, should be at least somewhat comparable to the speeds he showed as a Super Saiyan 3 back in the Buu Saga), **massively FTL+** as Super Saiyan God and Blue (Comparable to the speed of the explosion from the ki sphere which Goku and Beerus created in their final clash, which threatened to engulf the entire universe in mere moments) | **Inaccessible**, **Inaccessible** with Ultra Instinct -Sign- and Perfected Ultra Instinct (Managed to blitz suppressed Jiren, and kept pace with full power Jiren) | **Massively FTL+** (Faster than before. Kept up with Moro) | **Massively FTL+** (Faster than before. Kept up with Granolah)

**Lifting Strength:** At least **Class M** (Significantly above Yuzun)

**Stamina:** Extremely high. Goku can train for days with minimal rest, and can fight through his long, arduous fights with the likes of Vegeta and Frieza, continuing to fight against Vegeta even after overexerting himself with Kaio-ken x4, and ultimately outlasting the latter even after being effortlessly beaten around, pushing himself to his limits with Kaio-ken, and exhausting himself with his Spirit Bomb. When he was younger, he managed to pull through and defeat Piccolo even after all of his limbs were broken and he was mortally injured. After defeating Frieza, he continuously meditated for 150 days while training on Yardrat | High as a Super Saiyan God | Significantly low with Super Saiyan Blue (Even using 10% of Super Saiyan Blue takes a significant amount of stamina to use, forcing him to switch to Super Saiyan God in rapid succession). Originally low with Perfected Super Saiyan Blue (His body could only handle the strain of the Completed Super Saiyan Blue Super Saiyan Blue for a small amount of time, however, significantly greater than before), eventually became very high (Overcame the strain caused by the Completed Super Saiyan Blue Super Saiyan Blue) | Extremely low with Ultra Instinct (Only lasts a few moments before regressing back to his base form. Although in the Moro arc, he can use Ultra Instinct -Sign- at will and it lasts longer)

**Range:** Standard Melee Range. Low Complex Multiversal with ki blasts and attacks (The shockwaves of his blows can travel across the entire universe). Low Complex Multiversal with Instant Transmission | Standard Melee Range. Low Complex Multiversal with ki blasts and attacks. Low Complex Multiversal with Instant Transmission | Standard Melee Range. Extended Melee Range with Hakai. Low Complex Multiversal with ki blasts and attacks. Low Complex Multiversal with Instant Transmission | Same as before

**Standard Equipment:** The Zen'ō Button

**Intelligence:** Average generally. Genius at fighting. While he lacks knowledge when it comes to things that aren't related to fighting, Goku is a master of prodigal skill when it comes to martial arts, with years of experience fighting against powerful opponents with a plethora of abilities. His skill when it comes to combat and the usage of ki allows him to replicate other ki-based techniques after seeing them once, and he was the first to realize how much energy the Super Saiyan transformations unnecessarily drained. Despite this drawback, he was the first to master the Super Saiyan state, making it highly efficient. He is a genius in combat, capable of adapting to situation very quickly, devising new applications of his techniques on the fly, such as using Kamehameha with his feet. His intelligence allows him to predict the very movements of other skilled fighters even when they use Time Stop such as Hit. Overcame his stamina weakness as a Super Sayian Blue with his intellect, by rapidly changing between Super Saiyan God and Blue. Mastered the Super Saiyan Blue transformation in the middle of a fight against God Zamasu. Copied Hakai, a special technique belonging solely to Gods of Destruction, and even though Goku claimed that he messed up the technique, he still managed to replicate its effect and nearly erase God Zamasu if not for Zamasu using Mai as hostage

**Weaknesses:** Goku seeks strong opponents and therefore will allow his opponents to reach their full power for the sake of a good fight. He often drops his guard and leaves openings for his opponents whenever he gets distracted, lowering his durability. His Spirit Bomb requires a long charge-up period, during which time he is vulnerable. He cannot survive in the vacuum of space and needs to locate a ki signature to teleport using Instant Transmission. The Mafuba requires a suitable container to seal the target into and drains a large amount of ki, the latter of which could kill him if he lacks sufficient ki | Completed Super Saiyan Blue heavily strains his body at first, resulting in him exploding, later he has trained this away. His Power Stressed Form is essentially a weaker counterpart to the Kaio-ken, offering significantly more damage to his body from use, can't transform into Ultra Instinct -Sign- and Perfected Ultra Instinct at will, Ultra Instinct originally lasted seconds before reverting to his base form | After training with Merus, Goku can transform and keep up his Ultra Instinct -Sign- for much longer but it still drains his stamina rapidly, later he can transform into Perfected Ultra Instinct, though still require great effort | Can now willingly transform into Perfected Ultra Instinct much easier but the accuracy decreases over time, as stated by Granolah

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Ki:** The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts and beams of energy from different parts of the body or used to create defensive barriers, explosions and shockwaves. Along with his Saiyan blood, Ki acts as the source of Goku's incredible power and abilities. Goku's prodigal skill in combat and the use of ki allows him to replicate the ki techniques of others after seeing them only once. After becoming a Super Saiyan God, Goku gained divine ki, which can only be sensed by other gods.
	+ **Kamehameha:** Goku's famous signature technique, which he learned after witnessing Master Roshi use it to extinguish the flames on Fire Mountain, successfully replicating it not long later on his first try. As his signature technique, it is something that Goku has used on many occasions, and he has created a number of variations over the course of his fighting experience, such as firing it from his feet, using it to propel himself into the air, and bending it mid-flight to catch opponents by surprise. Perhaps the most useful variation is the **Instant Kamehameha**, in which Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport just before firing the attack, appearing right in front of his opponents and giving them no time to dodge.
	+ **Kaio-ken:** A technique developed by King Kai and taught to Goku during his time training on his planet. It greatly increases Goku's ki for just a moment, boosting his strength and speed significantly for that time. However, this heavily strains his body, and if he overuses it, it will leave him in intense pain all over his body, leaving him incapable of moving without causing himself further pain. Initially, the strongest Kaio-ken Goku can utilize is x4, but by the time of the Frieza Saga, he has mastered its use, allowing him to push it to his maximum of x20.
	+ **Spirit Bomb:** Goku's ultimate attack, taught to him by King Kai, performed by gathering a vast amount of energy from all the lifeforms in his surroundings to create a massive, incredibly destructive sphere of ki. To use it, one must have a pure heart, and so Goku is a perfect user of the technique due to his obliviously innocent nature. While it is incredibly powerful and can prove capable of completely destroying an opponent when used with sufficient power, it takes a very long time to charge and is therefore very difficult to use, though the charge time can be sped up by gathering energy from those who willingly and knowingly provide it. It is noted that if Goku makes even the smallest mistake using it, he could easily destroy Earth.
	+ **Destructo Disc:** Krillin's signature technique, which Goku presumably copied from him. Raising his hand above his head, Goku creates a razor-sharp disc of ki with incredible cutting power, and then throws it at his opponent. It should be noted that the Kienzan can cut through opponents that are several times stronger and more durable.
	+ **Kiai:** The ability to project an invisible burst of force with ki, which Goku can perform with his hands and even with a glare.
	+ **Solar Flare:** One of Tien Shinhan's signature techniques, which Goku copied from him during their match in the World Tournament. Bringing his hands up to his face, Goku can create a bright flash of light that can blind opponents.
	+ **God Bind:** A technique that can be used by Goku in his Super Saiyan God form. He transfers his own godly ki to the opponent's body, blocking them in place.
	+ **Gravity Bash:** Goku creates a compressed sphere of ki and hits the opponent while holding it in his palm.
	+ **Ki Construct:** When Goku uses Ultra Instinct at full power, he can create an enormous avatar of himself made of Ki and restrain larger opponents.
* **Fusion Dance:** A special dance created on planet Metamor, learnt by Goku from the inhabitants of said planet. This technique allows to beings to fuse and become a much more powerful entity. To ensure an optimal result, the two must perform all poses correctly, otherwise the fused being will be weak and goofy. The more similar are the height and personality of the two, the better the new being will be, but it will always last only for 30 minutes, with this time limit becoming shorter if the strength of the fusion increases too much. Goku used it in order to face Broly, performing the Dance together with Vegeta and giving birth to Gogeta.
* **Instant Transmission:** A teleportation technique that Goku learned between the Frieza and Cell Sagas on the planet Yardrat, which allows him to lock onto the ki signatures of others and teleport to their locations. Its use takes some concentration, which is aided by Goku putting his index and middle fingers to his foreheads (He has also shown to teleport without placing his fingers), and he needs a ki signature to teleport to, otherwise, he cannot perform the technique. It can be used to teleport others as well, as long as they are in physical contact with Goku.
* **Mafuba:** Also known as the Evil Containment Wave, the Mafuba is a mystic sealing technique designed to seal evil away by sucking them into a special container with a "demon seal" ofuda on it. Goku learned this technique from Roshi, and attempted to use it to seal God Zamasu, but used the wrong tag, allowing him to break free.
* **Hakai:** In his battle against God Zamasu, Son Goku was forced to resort to using the Hakai, a technique he somehow mimicked from Beerus, despite never having seen it. With this technique, he can turn someone to dust by waving his hand in front of them, however, it uses a large amount of ki.
* **Saiyan Physiology:** The physiology of a Saiyan, an aggressive warrior race of conquerors. Saiyans have the natural ability to control ki and to fly, likely the origin of Goku's own incredible skill when it comes to the usage and control of ki. In addition, while his lifespan is comparable to that of a human, Goku will remain at his peak strength for much longer. One of the most powerful abilities of a Saiyan is their ability to grow stronger and stronger through combat, allowing Goku to constantly push his own limits during a fight and rise to higher and higher peaks in power. This ability grants a substantial boost in power when Goku is badly injured, allowing him to reach a whole new level of power once he recovers.
	+ **Super Saiyan:** The famous, legendary transformation of a Saiyan that allows them to greatly surpass their limits and reach the fabled state that is Super Saiyan. Goku was the first Super Saiyan to appear in *Dragon Ball*, achieving the state after Frieza survived his most powerful attack, killed his best friend, and was about to kill him and his son. These transformations can be reached through extensive training, but are more often unlocked in moments of intense emotional turmoil and need, and due to the natural aggressiveness of Saiyans, they cause the user to become more aggressive and malicious, though Goku has managed to make these things effectively a non-issue through training. While immensely powerful, Super Saiyan transformations drain a lot of energy, and the first was very inefficient before Goku mastered the state and became a "Full Power Super Saiyan", allowing him to maintain the form effectively indefinitely without issue. While the original Super Saiyan state is eclipsed in power by Super Saiyan 2 and 3, the higher forms become increasingly inefficient in terms of energy usage.
	+ **Super Saiyan God:** A divine transformation that far surpasses the regular numbered Super Saiyan transformations, achieved through a ritual involving six righteous Saiyans, or through rigorous divine training. Goku reached this form with the help of his family and friends so that he could oppose the God of Destruction Beerus and stop him from destroying Earth. In this form, Goku gains divine ki and cannot be sensed by mortals. After achieving this form, Goku can transform into it whenever he wishes.
		- **Super Saiyan Blue:** A form above a regular Super Saiyan God, originally it wasn't stable, resulting in massive stamina loss in short periods of time. The issue was big enough that both Goku and Vegeta could originally only result in 10%, and even that was draining. However, eventually, Goku completed the form, which made him retain all the excess ki he had inside his body, becoming an extremely efficient form. Goku also knows a way to further enhance his strength by drawing power from his reserves, at the cost of damaging his own body. This process has been compared to the Kaio-Ken.
	+ **Ultra Instinct:** A form that increases Goku's capabilities an extreme amount, and giving him instinctive reactions and allowing him to surpass the Gods of Destruction themselves. In the manga's interpretation, it seems that Goku might be able to access this form with significantly more ease, however, the transformation also lasts significantly less time. After training with Merus and honing his body, Goku has become able to enter and sustain the Ultra Instinct with ease, allowing him to fight better and for an extended period of time. While in this form, Goku's body automatically grows sturdier as necessary in response to enemy attacks. During his training to hone the Ultra Instinct even more, Whis revealed that Goku must learn how to use it without having to rely on a transformation, which should be used only when he needs to surpass his limits. Mastering the Ultra Instinct in his normal form would allow him to be free from the stamina drain that creates a time limit. After further training, Goku apparently managed to achieve his objective and demonstrated the ability to dodge instinctively even in his base form.
	+ **Air Blasts:** Goku can fire a barrage of attacks by repeatedly punching the air at incredible speed.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Goku can immobilize and lift in the air an opponent, leaving them vulnerable.
	+ **Illusory Duplicates:** Goku acquired this technique after copying it from Whis. He can create at least seven copies of himself, each able to act independently from the real one. These clones are intangible and likely unable to hurt the opponent, but can serve as decoys.

**Note:** Ultra Instinct -Sign- and Perfected Ultra Instinct are also being considered as God Form
