Background / History

AF Son Goku originated in a parallel Dragon Ball AF timeline that was destroyed by an unknown powerful entity. As his universe neared extinction, its deities used their remaining power to send him away; he crossed the void until reaching Universe 6, badly injured and unconscious in an asteroid belt 16.

Vados healed him and, alongside Champa, explained that his timeline and everyone he knew had perished. Grieving for his family and friends, he resolved to become strong enough to uncover the culprit and take revenge. He accepted Champa's offer to remain in Universe 6, regarding it as a new home 16 17.

Under Vados and Champa, he developed divine ki, Super Saiyan 5 God, and Hakai Energy. He also sparred with Hit, Caulifla, and Kale, becoming one of Universe 6's principal fighters ahead of the inter-universal tournament 17.

Appearance

AF Son Goku resembles the Son Goku of Universe 7, though he initially arrives covered in scars from his escape through the void 16.

• In Perfect Super Saiyan 4, he has black hair, pale blue fur, golden eyes, and a heavily muscled physique 23 28.
• In Super Saiyan 5, his hair and body fur become silver-white, while his pupils retain a faint reddish color 28.
• His Super Saiyan 5 God transformation manifests with silver light and an overtly divine aura 17.

Personality

The destruction of his home timeline leaves AF Son Goku more composed, guarded, and burdened than his Universe 7 counterpart. He carries profound grief and a persistent desire for revenge, but he recognizes that blind hatred would undermine the reason he originally sought strength 16 25.

Despite his power, he is polite toward allies and higher beings, grateful to Champa and Vados for accepting him. He values formidable opponents, respects Vegeta as both a rival and friend across timelines, and acknowledges the potential of the Son Goku from Universe 7 22 24 26 32.
