Background / History

Goku was sent to Earth as a child under the Saiyan name Kakarot. Old Man Gohan encountered him after his arrival and easily subdued his initial aggression; Goku’s battle power was only slightly above the 2 he possessed when sent from Planet Vegeta. 40

After Raditz arrives on Earth, Goku struggles to protect Gohan and is deceived into releasing Raditz’s tail. Luo Tian and Broly intervene, heal Goku and Piccolo, and give Goku an Ultra Instinct Training Guide. Goku accepts Luo Tian’s offer to train him toward becoming a Supreme Kai. 144

Goku studies the manual alongside Krillin and Master Roshi while preparing for Vegeta’s arrival. He is determined to overcome the Saiyan Prince despite being told Vegeta is vastly stronger than Raditz. 146 147

Luo Tian later takes Goku to the Underworld and has him travel Snake Way for Kai training. Goku receives Senzu Beans for the journey and remains enthusiastic about mastering Ultra Instinct. 147

Personality

Goku is friendly, direct, and intensely motivated by training and combat. He readily acknowledges stronger opponents, including Vegeta, Fuwa, Cell, Hit, and Beerus, but treats each encounter as a chance to improve rather than a reason to retreat. 146 218 234 347

He is also notably kind-hearted. Goku questions whether Majin Buu is truly evil after observing that Buu has not killed anyone, concluding that the group may have provoked him first. 330 Merus considers Goku’s pure and innocent mindset highly compatible with the disposition required of an Angel. 166 211

Despite his growing divine responsibilities, Goku remains informal around gods and royalty. He speaks casually to Supreme Kais, is confused by their status-conscious behavior, and ultimately says he prefers becoming a Supreme Kai over an Angel because Angels appear too expressionless. 314 319

Abilities & Skills

Ultra Instinct

Goku learns Ultra Instinct from Luo Tian’s training manual and develops Angelic Power unusually early for a mortal. Luo Tian and Merus determine that Goku has the potential to become an Angel, though Merus believes his mixed and chaotic energy would make that transformation take decades. 166 167

• Lets his body react instinctively rather than through conscious thought. 146
• Can heal his own injuries upon activation. 166
• Can heal others, though doing so consumes more than half of his special Ultra Instinct energy. 192
• Is initially unstable and unsuitable for extended combat. 307
• Develops into Ultra Instinct Sign and later reaches its second level. 434 544

Saiyan Transformations

Goku progresses through multiple Saiyan and divine forms while continuing to build his base strength.

• Super Saiyan — awakened through rage during Frieza’s assault. 207
• Super Saiyan God — grants divine power, speed, and increased combat ability. 207 209
• Super Saiyan Blue — a Super Saiyan form built upon Super Saiyan God; powerful but energy-intensive. 235 253 307
• Super Saiyan 4 — develops a form intended to make the “Super Saiyan 4” name fitting during his first fight with Beerus. 338
• Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken — used against a counterpart Vegeta during the Super Time-Space Tournament of Power. 534

Instant Transmission

Goku can teleport by sensing ki and later demonstrates the ability to travel between universes.

• Requires a ki signature as a destination reference. 218
• Uses it to rescue allies from Majin Buu and transport them to the Sacred World. 312
• Travels between the Sacred World, Earth, and the Realm of the Kais. 314
• Uses it to investigate Cell immediately after returning from Trunks’ timeline. 234

Kamehameha

Goku uses the Kamehameha against Frieza on Planet Namek, launching him away with a sustained energy blast. 191

Mafuba

Goku uses the Evil Containment Wave to seal the immortal Zamasu in a jar. The seal is compromised because the talisman used is a nightclub discount coupon rather than a proper sealing tag. 373

Divine Power

As a Supreme Kai trainee, Goku can provide Divine Power to others. He gives the Grand Supreme Kai enough power to perform the Magic Wave and seal Moro’s Demonic Power. 393

Equipment / Weapons / Items

Relationships

• Vegeta — lifelong Saiyan rival; their rivalry repeatedly drives both fighters to train and improve. 166 307
• Bardock — father; reunites with Goku on Planet Namek and takes pride in his growth. 192 196

• Kakarot — younger brother; Goku remains friendly toward him despite Kakarot’s reluctance to acknowledge him. 288
• Krillin — close friend and fellow Ultra Instinct Manual student. 146 147
• Piccolo — ally and Gohan’s mentor; Goku respects Piccolo’s training of Gohan. 171
• Merus — ally who monitors Goku’s Angelic potential and assists his divine training. 164 166
• Fuwa — Supreme Kai of Universe 6 and a friendly sparring rival; agrees to train Goku after their encounter in the future timeline. 218
