1 (Canon)="You haven't figured it out yet? I’m the Saiyan who came all the way from Earth with the sole purpose of beating you. I am the warrior you’ve heard of in legends. Pure of heart and awakened by fury, that’s what I am. I am the Super Saiyan! Son Goku!"

- Goku to King Kai


 * -|3 (Canon)="Vegeta, Buu has absorbed every person we ever cared about. Krillin and Chi-Chi, too. Even Bulma! Piccolo. My sons Gohan and Goten, and your boy Trunks! They're all trapped in Majin Buu! They're the reason for Buu's power. You can't fight him alone! If we lose, our friends and families died for nothing! Is that what you want? To go out like helpless victims, just so you can keep nursing your foolish grudge?! How do you want this to end, Vegeta?!"

I am Son Gokū! and I am a Super-- (gets blasted in the face by Frieza) Saiyan."

Summary
Son Goku, born by his Saiyan name Kakarot, is the main protagonist of the anime series Dragon Ball. Along with Vegeta, he is one of the last pure-blooded Saiyans.

Goku was originally sent via capsule to Earth to enslave and conquer the planet. But when he arrived, he sustained a fatal head injury. The people of Earth took Goku and nursed him back to health. As a result of the injury, Goku forgot all about his original mission and his past. And due to their kindness, grew up on Earth as its guardian.

Name: Son Goku/Kakarot

Origin: Dragon Ball

Gender: Male

Age: 25-38 (physically 34)

Classification: Alien (Saiya-jin [Saiyan in the English Adaptations]), Martial Artist

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, agility and durability, Enhanced Unarmed Combat, Indomitable Willpower, Willpower Affinity, Limited Light Manipulation w/ Solar Flare, Telepathy, Limited Telekinesis, Teleportation, Force-Field Generation, Afterimage Creation, Enhanced Senses, Ki Manipulation, Flight and Resistance to Electrokinesis. Statistics Amplification w/ Kaioken

Attack Potency: Large Planet level (Fought Raditz along with Piccolo, the latter of whom could blow up the moon with a ki blast). Large Planet level after King Kai's training (Defeated Nappa with ease). Higher with Kaio-ken (Overpowered Vegeta with Kaio-ken x3, and then matched his Galick Gun with a Kamehameha, overwhelming him when he went Kaio-ken x4) | Large Planet level (Stomped most of the Ginyu Force). Higher with Kaio-ken (Exceeded Captain Ginyu in power) | Solar System level (Superior to Final Form Frieza at 1%. Frieza's Final Form is massively superior to his previous forms, and his 1st form blew up Planet Vegeta. Since the feat is Large Star level+, and this was in Frieza's First Form, he should be at this level by the time he reaches his third form, and even at 1%, his Final Form is even superior to that). Solar System level via Kaioken x20 (Overpowered 50% Final Form Frieza). Solar System level as a Super Saiyan (Fought rather evenly with 100% Final Form Frieza, even gaining the upper hand against him) | Solar System level. Solar System level as a Super Saiyan (Much stronger than before Casually blocked blows from Trunks' sword with a finger, the latter of whom casually sliced through and destroyed Mecha Frieza) | Solar System level in base and Super Saiyan. Solar System level as Full Power Super Saiyan (Fought rather evenly with Perfect Cell and nearly killed him with his Instant Kamehameha, though Cell wasn't fighting at full power) | Solar System level. High Universe level as Super Saiyan 2 and 3 (Far superior to Gohan in Cell Saga and superior to Fat Buu even when not being serious, said he could have defeated Kid Buu if he ended the fight quickly as a Super Saiyan 3. Kid Buu was stated to be able to destroy the universe by Goku and Vegeta. The title of the manga chapter is: "A Match with the Whole Universe at Stake", giving even more support for Kid Buu being a universe buster, and since the Daizenshuu states that the Living World is infinite in size, Buu would be High 3-A. SS3 Goku scales to that, and SS2 Goku shouldn't be too far behind since SS2 Majin Vegeta put up a fight against Fat Buu, who was also stated to be able to destroy the universe)

Speed: Relativistic (Comparable to Piccolo, who could fire a blast that hit the moon in 4 seconds. The Dragon Ball moon is 384,000,000 meters away from Earth, meaning Piccolo's blast traveled at 128,000,000 m/s, or 0.427 times the speed of light, which is in the Relativistic range). At least Relativistic+ after training from King Kai. FTL via Kaioken (Can multiply his speed by up to 4x) | FTL. FTL with Kaio-ken | At least FTL (Significantly faster than before). FTL+ via Kaioken x20. At least FTL as Super Saiyan | At least FTL+, likely Massively FTL. Massively FTL as Super Saiyan | Massively FTL as base and Super Saiyan. Massively FTL as Full Power Super Saiyan (Can fight toe to toe with Perfect Cell and had dodged his Kamehameha from short range, which should be comparable to other Ki Attacks like Vegeta's, which flew out into deep space in seconds. And remember--Goku dodged this from point-blank range) | At least Massively FTL (Far faster than before). Massively FTL+ as Super Saiyan 2 and 3 (Should be comparable to Fat Buu and Kid Buu, the latter of whom flew at this speed when destroying entire galaxies over time)

At least Universal with Instant Transmission (Traveled to the Other World and to King Kai's Planet from Earth). | Standard melee range. Stellar with ki blasts and attacks. At least Universal with Instant Transmission (Could travel to the Otherworld and the Kaioshin Realm)

Standard Equipment: None notable

Intelligence: Average. Genius martial artist (Extremely gifted when it comes to fighting. Can replicate ki techniques after seeing them only once. Has devised new ways to use old techniques, such as a Kamehameha with his feet)

Weaknesses: Goku often seeks to fight opponents at their best and will allow them to reach their full power so he can have a good fight. Kaio-ken strains his body and causes intense pain. It could horribly damage or even kill him if he doesn't use it sparingly. He has a tendency to be so overconfident that he drops his guard, lowering his durability. He needs a long charge time to prepare his Spirit Bomb, leaving him open to attack. In order to use Instant Transmission, he needs to sense a ki signature to teleport to. Using Super Saiyan 3 drains a lot of stamina and he cannot use it for more than a few minutes. Is unable to survive in the vacuum of space.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
 * Ki Blast: The most basic form of energy wave.
 * Invisible Eye Blast: Goku has the ability to shoot an invisible blast of ki out of his eyes. He uses this twice in the anime (once in the manga). The first (and only time in the manga) was when he used it to dig a hole in the Namekian ground to bury Vegeta's corpse in after he was killed by Frieza.
 * Destructo Disk: The user holds their hand into the air, conducting ki in the form of a razor-sharp disc, which is then hurled over and around the body to cut the target.
 * Destructo Disk Hexa Blade: Goku moves a Destructo Disk around in specified patterns, cutting up pieces of land or people in an instant.
 * Kamehameha: Goku's signature energy attack, even though it was invented by Master Roshi. Goku first learned this technique after witnessing Roshi use it to extinguish the fire on Fire Mountain. Goku has also invented numerous variations of the technique, including the Bending Kamehameha, Super Kamehameha, Kaioken Kamehameha, Double Kamehameha, Twin Dragon Shot, Angry Kamehameha, Flying Kamehameha, Instant Kamehameha, True Kamehameha, and Kamehameha Rebirth. He now gains a far more powerful version after mastering his godly ki called the God Kamehameha or Burst Kamehameha. He can also use them in his Super Saiyan forms.
 * Continuous Kamehameha: Goku releases a rapid barrage of energy blasts at his opponents, causing a massive accumulation of damage. Also called Super Energy Wave Volley.
 * Solar Flare: The user spreads and places their fingers on their foreheads, discharging a blinding flash of light.
 * Homing Energy Wave: A move where Goku fires a Ki Blast that targets his enemy. He used it against Pikkon.
 * Kaioken: Goku forms a red ki aura around his body, multiplying his power level, enhancing his strength and speed. The highest level of this attack used is x20. Goku does not use it much after becoming Super Saiyan. However, Goku has a technique where he combines the Kaio-ken with his Super Saiyan transformation, the Super Kaio-ken; this is done on one occasion, in his fight against Pikkon. So far, this only applies to the movie continuity. As of Dragon Ball Super, Goku once again used Kaioken in conjunction with Super Saiyan Blue against his fight with Hit. However there was initially supposedly just a 10% chance of the technique working successfully, and otherwise ending in failure and likely severe consequences.
 * Genki-Dama (Spirit Bomb): One of Goku's signature attacks in which he conducts the spirit energy of all nearby living organisms, forming a ball of power and size depending on the amount of harnessed ki energy. Its power was used against many powerful opponents such as Vegeta, Frieza, Dr. Wheelo, Turles, Lord Slug, Super Android 13, Kid Buu and Omega Shenron. It was also absorbed for increased strength in Super Android 13. It has a few variations: Large Spirit Bomb, Instant Spirit Bomb, and Super Spirit Bomb.
 * Shunkan Ido (Instant Transmission): Also called Instantaneous Transmission the user places their index and middle finger on their forehead, sensing a person that they can teleport to.
 * Afterimage Technique: This technique is a short burst of extremely high speed, moving faster than the opponent can sense. This has the side effect of leaving a momentary "after image" until the opponent's senses adapt and realize their target has moved.
 * Dragonthrow: Goku's signature grapple throw. He uses an example of this move on Frieza when he grabbed his tail during their battle on Namek.
 * Full-Nelson: Executed by performing half nelsons with both arms, though Goku only used this once against Raditz.
 * Hasshu-ken: A technique, used to counter Tien Shinhan's Four Witches Technique, in which Goku moves his two arms so fast that they each appear to be in four places at once, effectively giving him eight arms to use in combat.
 * Crazy Fist: This is a distraction move designed to confuse and taunt the opponent. Goku who acts like a dog or a monkey, barking and jumping around to scare his opponent. Goku uses this in reaction to Jackie Chun's (Master Roshi's alter-ego) use of the Drunken Fist.
 * Rock, Scissors 'N' Paper: An attack in which Goku delivers either a strong punch, a poke in the eyes, or an open palm strike.
 * Tornado!: Goku spins while rushing on the opponent to attack him/her. Used against Nam.

NOTE #1: There is no reason to say Dragon Ball Z Kai is non-canon, as it has fewer contradictions than the original Dragon Ball Z anime does, and a lot of the filler was taken out. Frieza's stay in Hell can be considered a retcon, as hell in the original DBZ was quite different from Earth's hell in Dragon Ball Super. Additionally, Dragon Ball Super has a few flashbacks from Dragon Ball Kai, supporting that the series is part of the main canon.

NOTE #2: This is canon Goku from the Dragon Ball Z manga and Dragon Ball Z Kai. His stats are from the anime, movies. Dragon Ball GT's feats are here. His stats from the Dragon Ball Super anime are here.
