Background / History

Goku witnesses Luo Chuan's arrival during Moro's final battle on Earth. After Vegeta's Forced Spirit Fission fails to stop Moro's restored form, Luo Chuan transforms into Super Saiyan 5 and completely erases Moro with a Super Energy Wave. Goku is stunned by the unknown Saiyan's strength and approaches him afterward. 1

When Luo Chuan claims to come from another destroyed spacetime where he knew Goku and Vegeta, Goku accepts the explanation and comforts him. He later trains with Whis while Luo Chuan trains independently in Ultra Instinct. 2

In a separate timeline, Goku battles the rejuvenated Namekian Slug. Driven to the brink by Slug's Death Bind and repeated beating, he awakens as a Super Saiyan with covert assistance from Luo Chuan, then destroys Slug and his spaceship using a Spirit Bomb. 7

Shortly afterward, Goku learns from North Kai that he has become a Super Saiyan. Although uncertain how the form works, he uses it to kill King Cold when Cold attempts to conquer Earth for the Dragon Balls. 8

Personality

Goku is battle-driven and openly excited by opportunities to face powerful opponents. He proposes reusing Universe 7's Tournament of Power roster because he wants strong fighters involved while keeping Master Roshi from facing the danger again. 11

He remains protective of others even in desperate battles. Against Broly in a parallel North Galaxy timeline, he pushes Gohan out of harm's way and attempts to shield him from Broly's attacks. 36
