Background / History

Vegeta identifies Bardock as Goku's father, while Goku describes himself as a Saiyan who was raised on Earth rather than by Saiyan culture 195. By the time he appears in Other World, he has already reached Super Saiyan and recognizes that his son Gohan has become exceptionally powerful 46.

During Janemba's rampage in Other World, Goku advances through Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, but Janemba's evolved body leaves him heavily wounded and exhausted 48 49 50. Gohan ultimately evacuates him from the battle through Instant Transmission 51.

Gohan later restores Goku to life with a wisp of the Source of Life contained in Shenron's Jade Bottle 64. After his revival, Goku resumes training, spars with his son, confronts Beerus, and begins pursuing divine techniques under Beerus and Whis 60 88 151.

In later events, Goku serves as a patrol member in Universe 14, where he confronts hostile versions of Broly and other threats emerging through chaotic time-spaces 391 392 394.

Appearance

• Super Saiyan — Golden hair, emerald-green eyes, and a golden aura 46.
• Super Saiyan 3 — Waist-length golden hair, no eyebrows, and a more ferocious appearance 49.

Personality

Goku is driven by a sincere love of combat. He seeks strong opponents, often fights to test their abilities first, and can prolong a battle simply because he enjoys it 75 97 352. Even against dangerous foes, he remains direct and good-humored rather than malicious.

He is also deeply protective of Earth and his family. He rescues Vegeta during their battle with Jass, joins Broly against the same enemy when the situation becomes dire, and openly states that protecting Earth matters more to him than Saiyan pride 196 201. In formal competition, he remains humble and treats opponents with respect 323.
