Background / History

Dr. Gero's abandoned Cell project was built from the cells of powerful fighters, including Son Goku, and was originally given one directive: kill Goku. Mo Yuan later confirms that he was created from Goku's cells, though he mutated differently from Cell. 1 47

During the Android crisis, Goku is incapacitated by illness. Krillin and Future Trunks move him and Chi-Chi to Master Roshi's island for protection, fearing that Lazuli and Lapis will target him. 12 When Lapis and Android 16 find Goku's home, Gohan tells them that Goku is unconscious; Lapis declines to attack a sick opponent and leaves. 28

Goku recovers completely after Cell disappears from the main timeline. He immediately brings Gohan to train and recruits Vegeta and Trunks to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. 43

Appearance

Goku is recognized by his distinctive crab-like hairstyle. In Super Saiyan form, he is surrounded by a golden aura and has emerald eyes. 44 45

• Wears a martial arts uniform during combat, though it is heavily damaged in his battle with Lapis. 46
• Emits a golden vortex of energy when transforming into a Super Saiyan. 45
• Uses two fingers pressed to his forehead when preparing Instant Transmission. 46 50

Personality

Goku is driven by the excitement of fighting powerful opponents. Even after seeing Lapis defeat Vegeta effortlessly, he feels anticipation rather than fear and willingly challenges Lapis despite knowing the power gap. 45

He is unusually quick to reconcile with former enemies. After his battle with Lapis, Goku considers the grievance settled and offers friendship to Mo Yuan, Lazuli, and Lapis. 47 He also accepts responsibility for the consequences of Dr. Gero's surviving work and seeks a way to revive the people killed by Cell. 45 50

Abilities & Skills

Super Saiyan

Goku can transform into a Super Saiyan, multiplying his base combat power by fifty. 13 48

• His 15 million base combat power becomes 750 million in this form. 48
• The transformation grants immense power but consumes substantial stamina over time. 21
• He can maintain enough strength to fight opponents stronger than himself, though Lapis initially overwhelms him. 45 46

Kaioken

Goku learned the Kaioken from King Kai and can stack it on top of Super Saiyan. 20 46

• His Tenfold Kaioken raises his Super Saiyan combat power from 500 million to 5 billion. 46
• He uses it to power a Kamehameha that critically injures Lapis. 46
• The strain is extreme; after five seconds, Goku can no longer maintain flight and falls from the sky. 46

Instant Transmission

Goku uses Instant Transmission for travel, evasion, and surprise attacks. 43 46

• Teleports behind Lapis during their fight and lands an unexpected strike. 46
• Escapes Mo Yuan's Space-Splitting Sword after realizing he cannot block it. 49
• Can locate familiar ki signatures, including Gohan's. 43
• Fails to sense the distant Namekians' ki while searching for a successor to Kami. 50

Ki Techniques

Goku employs powerful energy-based martial arts techniques.

• Kamehameha — Fires a concentrated blue energy beam; his Kaioken-enhanced version devastates Lapis's barrier and body. 46
• High-Speed Movement — Moves rapidly enough to appear behind Lapis, though Lapis can react to the attack. 46
• Flight — Can fly freely, but loses the ability when his body is damaged by the Kaioken's recoil. 46
• Ki sensing — Identifies approaching energies and attempts long-range searches through Instant Transmission. 44 50

Martial Arts

Goku possesses combat experience honed through repeated life-or-death battles. During his spar with Mo Yuan, his superior technique lets him strike from difficult angles despite Mo Yuan's comparable power. 48

• Trades hundreds of blows with Mo Yuan in an evenly matched aerial battle. 49
• Adapts quickly to Mo Yuan's spatial attacks and can sense spatial fluctuations after being surprised once. 49
• Continues fighting through severe injuries against Lapis without losing his fighting spirit. 46

Items

• Senzu Beans — Uses one to fully recover Vegeta after Lapis defeats him and later receives one from Gohan and Trunks after collapsing from the Tenfold Kaioken. 45 47

Relationships

• Son Gohan — His son; Goku takes him to train after recovering, while Gohan is deeply distressed when Goku is injured by Lapis. 43 46
• Chi-Chi — His wife; she celebrates enthusiastically when his illness clears. 43
• Vegeta — Fellow Saiyan and competitive training counterpart; Goku invites Vegeta and Trunks to train at the Lookout. 43
• Lapis — Initially an opponent seeking revenge against him; their battle ends with Goku offering friendship and reconciliation. 45 47
• Lazuli — Former adversary turned tentative ally through Goku's reconciliation with her group. 47
• Mo Yuan — A fellow fighter created using Goku's cells; they become friends and engage in an intense sparring match. 47 48 49
• Piccolo — Ally in the effort to find a new Namekian Kami and restore the Dragon Balls. 50
• Future Trunks — Ally whose fears for his future timeline Goku takes seriously, advising him to train before attempting to return home. 47

Story Role / Major Arcs

Android Crisis

Goku is the central target of Dr. Gero's android program, but illness leaves him unconscious during the Androids' initial search. Lapis and Android 16 find him unavailable and depart without attacking. 1 28

Battle with Lapis

After arriving at the Lookout, Goku challenges Lapis despite being outclassed in combat power. He uses Instant Transmission, Super Saiyan, and Tenfold Kaioken to nearly defeat Lapis, but collapses under the Kaioken's backlash. 45 46

Reconciliation at the Lookout

Following the battle, Goku treats the fight as the end of their grievance and offers friendship to Mo Yuan's group. This helps turn the former conflict between the Z Fighters and the android siblings into an alliance against Cell. 47 49

Search for a New Kami

With the Dragon Balls inactive after Piccolo and Kami fuse, Goku seeks surviving Namekians to restore a Kami to Earth and revive Cell's victims. His initial long-range ki search fails, prompting him to seek King Kai's help. 50
