## Summary

**Sangoku** (also known as **Son Goku**, **Kakarotto**, **Kakarot**, **Kakarod**, **Gohan**, **Unghong**, **Uncle Unghong** and **Monkey Boy**) is the main character of *Dragon Ball* franchise created by Toriyama Akira. He is a full-blooded Saiya People that comes from Planet Begeta. He is the son of Bardock, the husband of Chiki and the father of Gohan.

## Personality

He is a very cheerful person, and he loves to eat, he even admitted that if he didn’t eat rice, his power wouldn’t come. This is very true to the manga and the anime, where he often loses his power when he did not eat enough.

> *"Didn't You learn it in school Gohan? Watch it carefully, if you do so your mommy will feel very happy and proud of you!"*

Unlike the manga’s and anime’s versions, this version of Son Gokū wanted Gohan to be a good student, even scolded to his son about New Namek Star. This makes Sangoku much more accurate to the standard Asian parents comparing to his other official counterparts. Also unlike the manga’s and anime’s version, Goku doesn't want useless fights and barely shows his mercy to his enemies.

## Biography

### Background

Kakarod was a Saiya People baby, born on the same day as Burory, who was sent from Planet Begeta to the Earth to conquer it right before the destruction of Planet Begeta caused by Freela. On his way to Earth, Kuralla’s henchmen spotted his spaceship; however, Kuralla opted not to shoot the baby as it would delay his own plans to control other stars by that day, and he stated correctly that Freela would be defeated by the Saiya baby in the future because of his mistake.

Somehow, Kakarod lost his memories of his homeworld and his identity and began to live and believe he is an Earth People, he was later named Sangoku by an Earth People and lived with him until the Earth People was killed.

### *Vengeance of the Demon King*

Sangoku was seemed to have a bath at the beginning of the movie. He later appeared to find Gohan and came to the Kame House to get help from Buruma and Kuririn to save his son. In the end, he arrived to Garlick Jr.’s castle, with the help of Piccoro, God, and unexpectedly his son, he fought and defeated Garlick and his henchmen.

### Saiya People Arc

At some point after the defeat of Garlick, Sangoku’s mysterious older brother arrived on Earth to find him, he later told Sangoku about his and Goku’s identity, which ended up their battle. Goku and Piccoro had to join forces again to fight against Goku’s brother and Goku had to sacrifice his life to kill his brother. He was later revived by his friends to fight the other 2 Saiya People who came to Earth to take the Dragon Balls. After defeating the big Saiya Person, Goku had to fight against the remaining Saiya Person, Bejita, the prince of all Saiyas and the small Saiya Person. *In the movie continuity though, Goku can be assumed to have made it back to earth earlier and prevented the deaths of his friends* as they were present in movies that took place after the Saiya People arc but before the Freela arc

Unexpectedly, Goku got beaten up horribly by the prince when he turns into a giant monkey, he disabled Goku and almost killed him. However, Gohan, Yajaraki and Kuririn saved him, and with all their efforts to defeat the prince of all Saiya People, they ultimately defeated Bejita and made him leave the Earth.

### Freeza Arc

There are a lot of contradictions about the arc since the *Strongest Guy in the world*, *Quest for Earth* and *Super Saiya People Goku* movies either take place after the Freeza Arc or, in a separate, unconnected continuity entirely, as people who died in the Saiya People Arc were present in these movies and the dragon ball movies have been stated as self contained stories. In fact, these movies are direct sequels to the the arc since the scene of Piccolo sacrificing himself to save Gohan appeared in Gohan’s memory in the *Strongest Guy in the world* movie.

The only thing we know from this arc is that Goku saw Freela in his true form since he found Kuralla resembled Freela later, and Goku achieved Super Saiya People transformation and defeated Freela, making Freela a lot weaker

### *The Strongest Guy in the World*

After a long time, Goku goes to Dr. Yero's ice laboratory to rescue Mr. Poy and faces the Brutal Combatants. He defeats all three with minimal help and confronts the Doctordoctor. Then, a mind controlled Piccoro faces him until Gohan breaks the control device.

Dr Yero then emerges with his mechanical body and pounds Goku and the others until Goku uses his super epic Kaioken and turns the tide, even beating out the mechanical doctor in a beam struggle. Goku then knocks the Doctor upwards and charges a Spirit Power of Bomb, however, this effort is interrupted by Yero's efforts to destroy the Earth. Fortunately, Piccoro and Gohan again confront Yero in the upper atmosphere, buying enough time for Goku to charge his attack fully and kill the evil doctor.

### *The Quest for Earth*

At some point, more of the saiya people arrive on the Earth. Goku is warned by Mr. Kaio that a troublesome tree called the Shinrey Tree was planted on the Earth and would destroy all life on Earth if not stopped.

When investigating, he comes accross Tarés, who fires a power ball and turns Gohan into a giant monkey, which goku manages to reverse. Then, Goku effortlessly defeats the henchmen, and confronts Tarés. Initially, Goku is pressuring Tares until he eats a Fruit of Shinrey Tree, which massively multiplies his power to the point Goku’s Kaioken up to 10 times did nothing. Tarés then starts pounding Goku and demands he join their squad, which Goku refuses again. Eventually, Goku opts for a Spirit Power of Bomb, but because the Shinrey Tree had already drained most life energy from the Earth, it is weakened and Tarés deflects it. He then takes power from the Shinrey Tree itself in a final effort and destroys Tares, along with his Shinrey Tree.

### *Super Saiya People Goku*

Goku goes to the sky with Kuririn to try to deflect an asteroid that is coming the Earth. Both try to destroy the asteroid but their blast doesn’t work on it. It turns out that the asteroid is actually Shureg’s spaceship. Shureg comes to the Earth to loot the Dragon Balls and turn the Earth itself into his new spaceship.

Goku wakes up after the the freeze of the Earth caused by Shureg, he with Kuririn again go to Shureg to stop him, but he effortlessly one-shots Kuririn and humiliates Goku, saying that he’s not a Saiya Person because he’s too weak. Somehow, Goku still had the power of the Super Saiya People and achieved the Power of the Saiya People, he breaks Shureg’s arms and outmatches him. However, Shureg hasn’t used his full power yet, he reveals his true form which Kaio says that he is stronger than Freela and possibly the Super Saiya People. Goku loses his power of the Saiya People before fighting Shureg, Piccoro and Gohan have to help Goku to defeat him. In the end, Piccoro gives Goku his power and Goku uses a kaioken up to 100 times and defeats the Super Namek People

### *The Strongest Rivals*

Goku goes on a camping trip with Gohan in the meantime while Kuralla is informed of Freela's death at the hands of a Saiya People from Earth. They track down Goku to the Earth.

Initially, Kuralla's henchmen track down Gohan, and laugh at him, thinking he was supposed to be the Super Saiya People, but later confront goku and cause him some trouble but are losing. Kuralla then appears and shoots Gohan with a Destruction Beam, saying he'll kill all Saiya People, but Goku blocks the attack and counters, but falls to the water. Despite the fact that no one had ever survived the attack, he knew Goku likely did as he gave back so much of his energy, so Kuralla blasts the water and orders his henchmen to find him.

Goku survives but is badly injured, he orders Gohan to get the Sentu Beans with Higher Dragon. The beans were burnt but Gohan saved one bean and it heals Goku. He then confronts Kuralla and is evenly matched with him and made him admit he could have killed Freela, but Kuralla also tells Goku that he can transform himself better than what his brother was capable of and start pounding Goku. Goku then turns into a Super Saiya People and overpowers Kuralla but is faced with a Supernova. He struggles but overpowers Kuralla's attack and sends him to the Sun, which seemingly kills him as he remembers that Goku was the baby Saiya People who he let escape.

### Robot Human Arc

after Goku defeatedKuralla, he is tracked down by the Robot Humans, one of them is Dr. Jiro who turned himself into a Robot Human. In fighting Number 19, he has an advantage but then gets weaker than he should be because of a heart virus disease and eventually collapses. Fortunately, Torankusuu has a cure ready and Goku is saved.

It should be noticed that Goku and his friends defeated the triple Robot Human Number 16, Robot Human Number 17 and Robot Human Number 18 as Goku mentioned about the “other” Robot Humans in the *Super Battle of Three Super Saiyas*.

### *Fight! 10 Billion Power Warriors!*

At some point after recovering from the heart virus, Goku and his friends travel to the New Namek Star to free the namek people in this movie, he has to encounter the robots created by the Big Getdestar to save the Namek People. He later encounters Metal Kuralla, who is a more powerful man now, and has a fight against him. He heavily damages Kuralla, but when Kuralla updates his power With high science technology of the star, he stomps Goku and is about to kill him, but Bejita from nowhere saves him. Eventually, Goku and Bejita have to fight together to defeat the Metal Kuralla. However, when they thought they had already defeated him, they discover that the Kuralla who they fought was also the one which the great science power of the Big Gete Star made, and that he is, in fact, increasing. Goku and Bejita have to combine their Super Saiya power to destroy all the Metal Kurallas.

Both Super Saiya People are later revealed to be captured by the original Kuralla, who starts absorbing the rest of their Super Saiya power. Somehow, Goku still has enough energy to not only survive but also manage to hurt Kuralla badly. And in the end, with the help of Bejta, Goku destroys Kurulla and the Getdestar completely.

### *Super Battle of Three Super Saiyas*

After the defeat of the Robots on Earth, Goku, along with his friends and family, go to shopping, but a new bunch of Robot Humans interrupt them, Robot Human Number 14 and Robot Human Number 15. Robot Human Number 13 later arrives to the battlefield to help his android partners to kill Goku. With the help of Motong, Bejita and Torankusuu, Goku managed to force Number 13 to absorb the remaining parts of Number 14 and Number 15. Number 13 with the new additional power causally stomps everyone in the battlefield, breaks Vegeta’s shoulder, blasts on Torankusuu’s face and punch Goku’s penis and stomps on Motong’s face. In the end, Goku has to use the Spirit Power of Bomb created from the Earth’s power and absorb it to destroy Number 13.

On the planet, he faces the legend of the Super Saiyas, Burory, who was triggered by Goku’s powerful Saiyas Spirit. Burory’s father, Paragasu has to arrive to control him and stop the fight. Later on, Paragasu reveals that Burory is the Super Legend Saiyas and also the one who destroyed the southern Milky Way. Burory then transforms into the legendary Super Legend Saiyas and decides to kill Gohan, forces Goku to fight him. Torankusuu and Motong have to join the fight but 4 of them are unable to hurt Burory. In the end, Motong, Torankusuu, Gohan and surprisingly Bejita transferred their energy to Goku to defeat the legendary Saiyas by punching him his stomach.

### Cell Arc

At some point before the *Burning Battle*, Goku trains with Gohan to master the Super Saiya People transformation, achieving the fourth grade that has more power without sacrificing speed.

Sangoku appears as one of the participant of Shallow's tournament and they both have a big fight to decide the fate of the Earth. Goku puts up an impressive fight, but realizes that Shellow is holding back and that he is no match for him, Goku tells Gohan to replace him. Though Gohan manages to outmatch Shellow, he is also too arrogant and begins to torture Shellow, allows Shellow to self-destruct himself. To avoid Shallow’s self-destruction, Goku has to teleport himself and Shellow to Gay King’s planet, results in his and Gay King’s death, along with the destruction of his planet.

## Power

Goku is overwhelmingly powerful, even when comparing to characters like Iron Man, Captain America, Lucy, Batman, Steve or Luffy. He can easily destroy big buildings, giant ices, dumbass trees, the grounds, mountains, and even planets or stars.

In the first movie, he seemed to be equal to Piccoro, with both them fighting together, they were able to make Garlick Jr. struggled.

In the second movie, Goku fought a mind-controlled Piccoro while he was holding back, but he was initially no match for Dr. Yero until using the super epic Kaio-Ken power-up to destroy his mechanical claw and beat him in a beam struggle. After this, he was temporarily incapacitated by Yero's beam barrage but was able to kill him with the Spirit Power of Bomb.

In the third movie, Goku was able to fight and outmatch Tarés, forced him to eat the Fruit of Shinrey Tree to increase his fighting power. However, after Tarés eating the Fruit of Shinrey Tree, he easily outmatched Goku, even Goku with Kaio-Ken up to 10 times was no match to him until he used the power of Shinrey Tree to destroy him.

In the fourth movie, Goku was easily defeated by Shureg and got his ass beaten horribly. Goku had to rely on an unknown, unnamed, out of nowhere transformation that Gay King believed was maybe the power of Saiya People, to overwhelm him. After all, with the power of Piccoro, Goku used the more powerful Kaio-Ken technique (which is rumored to be Kaio-Ken up to 100 times) to defeat giant Shureg by one punch.

In the fifth movie, Goku easily got heavily injured by Kuralla's dark eyes beam technique. But after being healed, Goku was able to fight back Kuralla, made him admit he was capable of defeating Freela. In the Super Saiyan People form, Goku easily outmatched transformed Kuralla and forced him to use his ultimate technique. Though the ultimate technique caused Goku some troubles, he was able to push the power ball back to Kuralla.

In the sixth movie, Goku was much stronger than before and should be much stronger than Motong. He in Super Saiya People form fought on par with a more powerful man Kuralla and was able to broke his arm during the fight. However, after Kuralla updated his power with the great science power of the Big Getdestar and fight back the Super Saiya People Goku, Goku was easily outmatched and was almost killed by Kuralla. In the end, Goku, and with the help of Super Saiya People Bejita managed to destroy the more powerful man.

In the seventh movie, Super Saiya People Goku was able to fight against Robot Human Number 13. After absorbing the power of Spirit Power of Bomb, Super Saiyas Goku was able to kill a more powerful Number 13 by one punch.

In the eighth movie, Goku, alongside Motong and the rest of the "good Saiyas" got pounded by Burory after he became the Super Legend Saiyas. Goku lasted the longest out of the Saiyas and Motong and even made Burory flinch with a knee to the chin, the only semblance of damage anyone did in that fight, but he was still far from a match for Burory. However, Super Saiyas Goku with the powa of Bejita, Torankusuu, Motong and Gohan, was able to defeat Burory by one punch.

In the ninth movie, Goku in base form knocked back Bogo when Bogo was playing around with a defeated Gohan.

In the tenth movie, an emulation of Goku helped push back against Bollock's ultimate attack.

In the 12th movie, with his Super Saiya's Real Power, Goku ***did*** accidentally shake the entire hell and dead world, he easily defeated Big Head in his first form but lost against Big Head in his second form despite putting up a fight.

In the 13th movie, Goku in his Super Saiya's Real Power was the only one who could fight against second form Gemma Monster in a real battle and managed to kill him by one punch, but this time that *one punch* was Goku's new technique called Dragon Punch.
