## Transformations and Techniques

### ***Techniques***

#### **Kaiō-Ken**

**History** - A technique Goku learned training under the Lord of Worlds, after dying in the fight against Raditz. It amplifies Goku's chi for a heartbeat, increasing his senses as well as multiplying his stats by whatever amount he chooses.

**Usage** - [insert usage summaries here]

**Current Status** - After many years of using the Kaiō-Ken technique, Goku has become accustomed to it, being able to use a basic 2x boost without any strain on his body. He can use up to 25x with gradually increasing strain, and anything higher still strains him as per usual. During *Void Warriors*, Goku trained the Kaiō-Ken similarly to Super Saiyan in attempt to nullify the strain altogether. Following this, he can use up to a 50x boost, if need be. The Kaiō-Ken can also be used on any of Goku's other forms, as they are perfected, although Goku still sees it as an unnecessary risk and has yet to do so.

#### Ultra Instinct

**History** - A technique Goku learned training under Whis. It allows Goku to evade and defend against attacks without having to think beforehand, letting him focus completely on his attacks in combat. The Ultra Instinct technique can be used on any of Goku's other forms as they are perfected.

**Usage** - [insert usage summaries here]

**Current Status** - When fighting seriously, Goku often uses Ultra Instinct right off the bat on top of his current form.

### ***Super Saiyan Forms***

#### **Super Saiyan**

**History** - Goku unlocked this form on Namek in Age 762, after Freeza killed Piccolo and Krillin, and threatened to kill Goku's son Gohan. These events caused Goku's anger to boil over and trigger a reaction in his S-Cells, causing the birth of the first legendary Super Saiyan in 1,000 years.

**Usage** - [insert usage summaries here]

**Current Status** - Goku has perfected the Super Saiyan form, leaving the original state behind in favor of heightening his power with more powerful forms in the branch.

#### **Perfected Super Saiyan**

**History** - Goku unlocks this form after staying in Super Saiyan and treating it as his base form in preparation for the Cell Game. Using the form so often and holding his aura inside let him completely remove the flaws of the original state of Super Saiyan, as well as use the full power of the form at any time.

**Usage** - [insert usage summaries here]

**Current Status** - After the Cell Game, Goku always uses this form instead of the non-perfected version.

#### **Super Saiyan Two**

**History** - Goku unlocks this form some time in the Other World during the 7-year timeskip after the Cell Saga.

**Usage** - [insert usage summaries here]

**Current Status** - [...]

#### **Perfected Super Saiyan Two**

**History** - Goku perfects Super Saiyan Two sometime during *Dragon Ball Super*, as the form appears to have no drawbacks after its *Dragon Ball Super* debut in Chapter 002, and he uses the form more often afterwards without showing any flaws.

#### **Super Saiyan Three**

**History** - Goku unlocks this form some time in the Other World during the 7-year timeskip after the Cell Saga.

**Current Status** - [...]

#### **Perfected Super Saiyan Three**

**History** - Goku perfects Super Saiyan Three sometime before *Dragon Ball Super*, as the form appears to have no drawbacks after its *Dragon Ball Super* debut in Chapter 002. He uses the form much more often from then on without any signs of strain or fatigue, even after prolonged use.

**Usage** - [insert usage summaries here]

**Current Status** - This is Goku's go-to form as of *Void Warriors*, being his most powerful non-godly form. After perfecting the form, he can use the full power of Super Saiyan Three without having to worry about his strength fading after mere minutes of usage. When being used in unison with the Ultra Instinct technique, Goku becomes a force to be reckoned with.

### ***Godly Forms***

**History** - Goku unlocks this form in *Dragon Ball Super* (Chapter 4) after undergoing the Super Saiyan God ritual.

## Trivia

Goku's gi was torn up after his fight with Oob at the 28th Tenka'ichi Budōkai. It is not shown in the original manga if he later had it restored, as it remains ripped up even as he takes Oob off to train. However, by the time Eeto and Epla land on Earth in *Void Warriors*, he has his gi perfectly intact. Presumably, he had it mended during the time between the tournament and the Furutans' arrival.

Despite being the first Super Saiyan seen in the manga, Goku was actually the second Super Saiyan in the series. Yamoshi was the first, transforming into the legendary Super Saiyan form 1,000 years before the events of *Dragon Ball*.

Goku usually goes by just 'Goku' rather than the full 'Son Goku'.
