Background / History

During the Saiyan Invasion period, Goku is dead and travelling Snake Way in the Underworld. Shin identifies him as the “protagonist” whose future involvement could be vital to surviving the threats ahead. 1

Goku returns to Earth with a halo for the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament. Shin deliberately approaches him, having watched the Son family for years. Unable to sense Shin's ki, Goku nevertheless feels instinctively pressured by him and recognizes him as an expert. 7

When Shin reveals the impending revival of Majin Buu, Goku reacts with excitement rather than fear. He learns that his power exceeds Buu's, although Buu's near-immortal vitality remains the greater concern. 14 He fights Yakon despite being unable to see, then confronts Fat Buu alongside Vegeta. After Buu admits to killing for fun and turning victims into food, Goku unleashes Super Saiyan 3 to stop him. 20 27 28

Following the battle, Shin revives Goku and removes his halo. When offered a wish as a reward for helping save the universe, Goku asks only to spar with Shin. 35 He later spends four years training in the Supreme Kai Realm with Vegeta, mastering God Power and the Super God forms. 42 45

Goku continues seeking stronger opponents even after gaining divine power. He repeatedly challenges Shin to measure their gap, but Shin defeats him effortlessly on both occasions. 43 44 95 He subsequently trains under Whis and achieves Ultra Instinct, a Divine Technique that astonishes gods from other universes. 140 146

Appearance

Goku's base appearance is not described in the provided material, but his transformations receive several distinct visual depictions.

• Super Saiyan — enveloped in golden light. 20
• Super Saiyan 3 — waist-length golden hair, protruding brow ridge, emerald eyes, lightning arcs, and a golden aura. 28
• Super God Red / Blue — red or blue hair and eyes accompanied by matching God Power. 45
• Ultra Instinct — silver radiance gradually changes his hair and eyes silver; complete mastery produces a fully silver-haired form. 141 146

Personality

Goku is relentlessly drawn to strong opponents and treats combat as both enjoyment and self-improvement. He asks to fight Shin even when he knows he cannot win, seeks a match with Broly immediately upon meeting him, and volunteers for the Time Supreme Kai's crisis once he hears a powerful enemy is involved. 35 43 95 355

Despite his carefree manner and frequent lack of etiquette toward gods, he is protective of innocent lives. Fat Buu's casual explanation that he kills people for fun enrages Goku, while Superhuman Water's use of Goten and Trunks' appearances provokes an unusually cold and furious response. 27 105

He bears no jealousy toward his son's growth. When Shin states that Gohan has surpassed him, Goku responds with pride rather than resentment. 81

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Transformations

Goku possesses successive Saiyan transformations, from Super Saiyan through Super Saiyan 3 and the Super God forms.

• Super Saiyan 3 can pressure Fat Buu but creates enough collateral force to endanger Earth. 28
• Super God Red and Blue are fueled by God Power acquired through Shin's training. 45
• His stabilized Super God Blue state allows prolonged use of divine power. 53 57

God Power

God Power is the foundation of Goku's later strength and can be refined beyond its use as a transformation fuel.

• Old Kai condenses Goku's God Power, increasing its purity and making it feel inexhaustible to Goku. 93 94
• God Power automatically restores injuries sustained during battle. 141
• He channels it into his eyes to enhance his vision enough to spot Superhuman Water's microscopic surviving fragment. 105
• He uses it to power a Kamehameha capable of overwhelming Superhuman Water in space. 105

Ultra Instinct

Ultra Instinct is Goku's defining Divine Technique.

• His body can evade or block attacks before his conscious mind processes them. 139 176
• He uses rapid vibrations to escape Gohan's grip. 141
• Even after mastering the technique, Gohan's superior raw power can wound him and force him to perfect it further. 141
• He casually evades Basil's attacks in front of the gods at Zeno's Palace. 146

Kamehameha

Goku's ultimate energy attack.

• He can control a fired blast closely enough to make it curve and pursue Shin through the air. 44
• He gathers all of his God Power into a Kamehameha against Shin, though Shin disperses it with a single word. 95
• His God Power-enhanced Kamehameha defeats Superhuman Water's Gotenks form. 105

Combat Adaptability

Goku adapts quickly to unfamiliar abilities and combat conditions.

• While blinded on Dark Planet, he relies on methods other than sight to fight Yakon. 20
• He learns to respond to Hit's Time-Skip and counterattacks despite the technique's time-based advantage. 205
• He can use techniques associated with Ultra Instinct while in Super Saiyan Blue. 177

Instant Transmission

Goku can travel instantly between distant locations.

• He returns alone via Instant Transmission after Vegeta chooses to fly back separately. 64
• He intercepts Superhuman Water in space while it attempts to escape. 105

Relationships

• Shin — Mentor, benefactor, and the opponent Goku continually challenges to understand the limits of his strength. Shin revives him, trains him in God Power, and repeatedly defeats him without difficulty. 35 43 45 95
• Vegeta — Rival and training partner. Their competition remains intense even while they cooperate against shared enemies and train under Shin. 20 45 53
• Son Gohan — Son. Goku supports Gohan's choice to become a scholar and takes pride in Gohan surpassing him. 42 81
• Son Goten — Son. Superhuman Water exploits Goku's feelings for Goten by impersonating him, which enrages Goku. 105
• Broly — Fellow Saiyan whom Goku regards as family after Shin's introduction. Goku immediately wishes to spar with him, though Broly initially refuses. 42 43
• Whis — Teacher who trains Goku in Ultra Instinct. 140 146
• Fat Buu — Former opponent. Goku opposes Buu's killing of innocents, later apologizes for destroying Buu's Food Mountain, and accepts Shin's plan to reform him. 27 44
• Hit — Respected opponent whose Time-Skip pushes Goku to adapt during their battle. 205
