Background

Sun Wukong and Sun Wumian were both children found and raised by Son Gohan, a student of Master Roshi. Though they are considered brothers, they do not resemble one another. 16

He trained as a martial artist under Master Roshi’s school and developed into a pure-blooded Saiyan fighter. Unlike Wumian, Wukong’s growth is driven primarily by training, difficult opponents, and his desire to test his limits. 17 18

Appearance

By the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, Wukong had grown into a handsome adult. He usually wears a martial-arts gi and has also appeared in a bandana while traveling in the rain. 22

• Wore 100-kilogram weighted clothing during his match with Tien Shinhan. 24
• Carries or has previously used the Power Pole and the Four-Star Dragon Ball. 16
• Can transform into a Super Saiyan at will. 37

Personality

Wukong is straightforward, good-natured, and remarkably unconcerned with money or defeat. After losing the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament to Tien Shinhan, he declined his share of the prize money because he did not know how to use it. 16

He is intensely motivated by combat. Even after Trunks warned him that the future held deadly Androids and a fatal illness, Wukong was more interested in discovering how strong the enemies were. 37 He can also read an opponent’s intent well enough to recognize when Trunks’s sword attack carried no killing intent. 37

His innocence extends to personal matters: he initially did not understand what a bride was, but immediately chose to honor his childhood promise to Chi-Chi once it was explained. 23

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Physiology

As a pure-blooded Saiyan, Wukong possesses exceptional growth potential and seeks stronger opponents rather than avoiding them. 18 37

• Can enter Super Saiyan at will. 37
• His Super Saiyan fighting ability is impaired when his heart disease flares up. 40

• Kaioken — Learned from King Kai and used during his fight with Vegeta. 27 29
• Spirit Bomb — Nearly mastered while training under King Kai. 27

Martial Arts and Combat Insight

Wukong combines speed, tactical adjustments, and sharp perception in close combat.

• Removed his 100-kilogram weighted clothing to reverse the momentum against Tien Shinhan. 24
• Identified the weakness of Tien’s Four Witches Technique: dividing into four also divided Tien’s power. 24
• Defeated Piccolo in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament despite initially holding back. 25
• Blocked Trunks’s repeated sword strikes with one finger. 37
• Recognized Trunks’s lack of killing intent before the latter halted an incoming sword attack. 37

• Heart medicine — Given by Future Trunks to prevent the heart disease predicted for Wukong’s future. 37

Relationships

• Sun Wumian — Adoptive older brother, training partner, and vastly stronger ally. Wumian helped Wukong train, protected him against King Piccolo, and arranged support for his wedding. 16 18 26
• Chi-Chi — Wife and the Ox-King’s daughter. Wukong honored their childhood promise and proposed immediately after learning what marriage meant. 23 24
• Son Gohan — Son with Chi-Chi; named after Wukong’s adoptive grandfather. 27
• Master Roshi — Martial-arts teacher and senior mentor. 17 22
• Krillin — Friend and fellow martial artist. Krillin gave Wukong replacement clothing after the 22nd tournament and attempted to aid him against Android 19. 16 40
• Tien Shinhan — Respectful rival. Tien defeated Wukong in the 22nd tournament, but Wukong defeated him in the 23rd tournament. 16 24
• Piccolo — Former enemy and tournament opponent. Wukong lost to King Piccolo, later defeated Piccolo Jr. in the 23rd tournament, and eventually trained alongside him against the Android threat. 16 25 38
• Vegeta — Saiyan rival. Their fight reached an equal combat power of 18,000, and Wukong later became a Super Saiyan alongside him. 29 36
• Trunks — Future visitor who warned Wukong of the Androids and supplied medicine for his heart disease. 37

Story Role / Major Arcs

22nd World Martial Arts Tournament and King Piccolo

Wukong lost the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament championship to Tien Shinhan but accepted the defeat without resentment. Soon afterward, he challenged the restored King Piccolo and lost due to the difference between their combat powers. 16

He then trained with Wumian in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where he pushed his combat power beyond 300 and resolved to one day surpass his brother. 17 18

23rd World Martial Arts Tournament

At the tournament, Wukong reunited with his friends as an adult and faced Chi-Chi in the quarterfinals. Their match revealed their childhood marriage promise; after winning, Wukong agreed to marry her. 22 23

He defeated Tien Shinhan in the semifinals by removing his weighted clothing and exploiting the weakness of the Four Witches Technique. He then defeated Piccolo in the final to claim his first World Martial Arts Tournament championship. 24 25

Marriage and Saiyan Invasion

Following his marriage, Wukong became the father of Son Gohan. He trained with Wumian while the other fighters underwent gravity training, then traveled to King Kai’s Planet to learn the Kaioken and Spirit Bomb. 27

When Vegeta and Nappa arrived, Wukong defeated Nappa and fought Vegeta to a standstill at a combat power of 18,000. He also revealed that Frieza, rather than a meteor, destroyed Planet Vegeta. 28 29

Super Saiyan Training and Future Warning

Wukong trained on Planet Yardrat with Vegeta and eventually achieved the Super Saiyan form. 33 36

Future Trunks later arrived to warn him of the Androids and his future heart disease. Wukong accepted the warning calmly, demonstrated his Super Saiyan transformation, and received medicine intended to save his life. 37

Android Crisis

After three years of training, Wukong joined Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, and the others to confront Androids 19 and 20. His heart disease emerged during the battle, severely weakening him despite his Super Saiyan state. 38 40
