Character Stats and Profiles Wiki

In the past, we have encouraged users to create new pages for powers and abilities they thought the wiki lacked. However, as of now, we want new pages to be approved by the staff, meaning that new powers and abilities pages must be suggested. This can be done in our official Discord server in the suggestion channel, or messaged to a staff member. Of course, users can always create blogs about powers and abilities to include in their profiles if they don't want to attempt creating official pages. Linking to other wikis' powers and abilities pages is also permitted.

“ Yes and as a result, I was lucky enough to come here to Earth, I'm grateful for that. Besides, maybe even a lower class outcast can surpass an elite if he puts his mind to it. „
~ Son Goku to Vegeta

“ You haven’t figured it out yet? I’m the Saiyan who came all the way from Earth for 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! „
~ Son Goku to Frieza

“ And this is what is known as a Super Saiyan that has ascended past the Super Saiyan. Or, you can just call this a Super Saiyan 2. „
~ Son Goku to Majin Buu

“ I'm sorry that took so much longer than the others... But I haven't had much occasion to practice this one. This is what I call a Super Saiyan 3. „
~ Son Goku

“ It's not the power, it's what it took to get it and what means. „
~ Son Goku explains why he doesn't like to be a Super Saiyan God

“ The merging of Vegeta and Kakarot needs a name, I think "Vegito" has a nice ring. Honestly, I was worried about how this would work but I've turned out even better than I thought possible, so let's get this fight started. „
~ Vegito

Summary[]

Son Goku (孫そん悟ご空くう Son Gokū), also known as Kakarot (カカロット Kakarotto), is one of the Saiyan survivors and is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball franchise. Along with the Vegeta, he is one of the last pure-blooded Saiyans after the death of many others by the hand of him and Vegeta.

Son Goku was originally sent to Earth in order to enslave and conquer the planet. But when he arrived, he sustained a fatal head injury. An Earthling 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 his memory loss, he grew up on Earth as its guardian.

By using Potara Earrings, Goku can fuse with Vegeta to create one singular and all-powerfull being, known as Vegetto/Vegito (ベジット Bejitto). Originally called Gogeta (ゴジータ Gojīta), Vegito is the perfect mixture of Kakarot and Vegeta, featuring both characters' notable characteristics. Supposedly being the third strongest man in Universe 7 during the time he was created, Vegito easily outmatched Majin Buu without any transformation, and could have killed him. However, Vegetto stupidly decided to let himself absorbed by Majin Buu, resulting in his own defusion.

Standard Equipment: Senzu Beans. In the Fusion Saga, Goku was given 2 Potara Earrings by the Elder Kai. He later got another 2 Potara Earrings by the Supreme Kai in the Kid Buu Saga.

  • Optional Equipment: Power Pole, Flying Nimbus and the Earth's Dragon Balls.

Intelligence: Goku is a master of prodigal skills when it comes to martial arts, with years of experience fighting against powerful opponents with a plethora of abilities. His skills when it comes to combat and the usage of ki allows him to replicate other Ki-based techniques after seeing them once, and he was the first to realize how much energy the Super Saiyan transformations unnecessarily drained. Despite this drawback, he was the first to master the Super Saiyan state, making it highly efficient. He is a genius in combat and is capable of devising new applications of his techniques on the fly, such as using Kamehameha with his feet. As Vegito, he should possess all Goku and Vegeta's intellectual abilities. He feigned arrogance in his fight with Super Buu, smugly toying with him to bait him into trying to absorb him so that he could rescue all those he had absorbed.

Weaknesses: Goku seeks strong opponents and therefore will allow his opponents to reach their full power for the sake of a good fight. Has a phobia of needles, Kaio-ken strains his body, causing him intense pain and exhaustion if he overuses it. His Spirit Bomb requires a long charge-up period, during which time he is vulnerable. Needs to locate a ki signature to teleport using Instant Transmission. Super Saiyan 3 drains his ki rapidly and will exhaust him within minutes, however, when dead, the issue seems to be mitigated. Super Saiyan God can only last for a while, while Goku can maintain the physicial power of the form, it limits his ability to transform into forms higher than the regular Super Saiyan. As a dead person, if Goku gets killed again, his soul will seemingly vanish, and can’t be found in neither the Other World nor the Living World. As Vegito, he has issues with power balance, being unable to draw his abilities out to the max in the first 30 minutes after his birth.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in several ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. Along with his Saiyan blood, Ki acts as the source of Goku's incredible power and abilities. Goku's prodigal skill in combat and the use of ki allows him to replicate the ki techniques of others after seeing them only once.

  • Kamehameha: Goku's most famous technique, which he learned after witnessing Master Roshi use it to extinguish the flames on Fire Mountain, successfully replicating it not long later on his first try. As his signature technique, it is something that Goku has used on many occasions, and he has created a number of variations over the course of his fighting experience, such as firing it from his feet, using it to propel himself into the air, and bending it mid-flight to catch opponents by surprise.
  • Spirit Bomb: Goku's supposedly strongest attack, taught to him by King Kai, performed by gathering a vast amount of energy from all the lifeforms in his surroundings to create a massive, incredibly destructive sphere of Ki. To use it, one must have a pure heart, and so Goku is a perfect user of the technique due to his obliviously innocent nature. While it is incredibly powerful and can prove capable of completely destroying an opponent when used with sufficient power, it takes a very long time to charge and is therefore very difficult to use, though the charge time can be sped up by gathering energy from those who willingly and knowingly provide it.
  • Kiai: The ability to project an invisible burst of force with ki, which Goku can perform with his hands and even with a glare.
  • Destructo Disc: Krillin's signature technique, which Goku presumably copied from him. Raising his hand above his head, Goku creates a razor-sharp disc of ki with incredible cutting power, and then throws it at his opponent. It should be noted that the Destructo Disc can cut through opponents that are several times stronger and more durable.

A teleportation technique that Goku learned on Planet Yardrat, which allows him to lock onto the Ki signatures of others and teleport to their locations. Sometimes, Goku does not need Ki signatures to teleport. It can be used to teleport others as well.

A technique that Goku was taught by King Kai on his planet. It greatly increases Goku's stats significantly. However, this heavily strains his body, and if he overuses it, it will leave him in intense pain all over his body, leaving him incapable of moving without causing himself further pain. As seemed in Frieza Saga, the greatest multiplier of Kaio-ken Goku can utilize is 20, which multiplies his stats by 20 times.

One of Tien's signature techniques, which Goku copied from him during their match in the World Tournament. Bringing his hands up to his face, Goku can create a bright flash of light that can blind opponents.

Goku can telepathically communicate with others. During the Frieza Saga, he shows the ability to read Krillin's mind by putting his hand to his forehead.

Goku is a master of martial artist who has learned from many of the Universe's greatest people, from his adoptive grandfather, Grandpa Gohan, Master Roshi, Korin, Kami, King Kai, etc.

The physiology of a Saiyan, an aggressive warrior race of conquerors. Saiyans have the natural ability to control Ki and to fly, likely the origin of Goku's own incredible skill when it comes to the usage and control of ki. In addition, while his lifespan is comparable to that of a human, Goku will remain at his peak strength for much longer. One of the most powerful abilities of a Saiyan is their ability to grow stronger and stronger through combat, allowing Goku to constantly push his own limits during a fight and rise to higher and higher peaks in power. This ability grants a substantial boost in power when Goku is badly injured, allowing him to reach a whole new level of power once he recovers.

  • Super Saiyan: The legendary transformation of a Saiyan that allows them to greatly surpass their limits and reach the fabled state that is Super Saiyan. Goku was the first Super Saiyan to appear in Dragon Ball, achieving the state after Frieza survived his most powerful attack, killed his best friend, and was about to kill him and his son. These transformations can be reached through extensive training, but are more often unlocked in moments of intense emotional turmoil and need, and due to the natural aggressiveness of Saiyans, they cause the user to become more aggressive and malicious, though Goku has managed to make these things effectively a non-issue through training. While immensely powerful, Super Saiyan transformations drain a lot of energy, and the first was very inefficient before Goku mastered the state and became a Full Power Super Saiyan, allowing him to maintain the form effectively indefinitely without issue. While the original Super Saiyan state is eclipsed in power by Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, the higher forms become increasingly inefficient, culminating in the high cost of Super Saiyan 3, which Goku can only maintain for a few minutes before collapsing from exhaustion.

    • All previous techniques, plus:

  • Scatter Finger Beam: Vegito points all five fingers of his right hand at his opponent and fires beams of ki from each one.
  • Spirit Sword: Vegito can fashion his ki into the shape of a blade of variable length and width and use it in a manner similar to a sword. As it is created by a single use of energy, Vegito can easily maintain its use for an extended period of time, using it to impale and slice apart opponents. It can be shortened into a smaller form more suitable for close quarters combat, or kept at its normal, great length to attack opponents from a distance.
  • Big Bang Attack: After extending his arm and opening up his palm, Vegito creates a massive sphere of energy, which he then fires at his opponent, causing a massive explosion.
    • Big Bang Kamehameha: The user raises their hands and extends their palms in front of them, generating a colossal Big Bang Attack before channeling the tremendous energy of a Kamehameha forward, fusing the technique into the Big Bang Attack and launching it as a mighty energy blast/energy wave.
  • Dirty Fireworks: By pointing his index and middle fingers at his opponent, Vegito causes them to be engulfed by a massive explosion that destroys them from the inside out, killing most opponents instantly.
  • Final Flash: One of Vegeta's most famous attacks. After spending some time gathering the massive amounts of energy needed for the technique, the user releases it all as a massive, high-power beam of ki that can completely engulf and incinerate a foe.
  • Galick Gun: Vegeta's most famous signature technique. Pulling both of his hands to his chest, he gathers ki before firing the beam straight at his opponent.

    • Note:

    1. This profile is about the Son Goku who appears in the Dragon Ball Z anime, not the one who appears in the Dragon Ball Z manga. It also has to be noted that the Dragon Ball Z manga is not an official Japanese manga, but rather a cut version of the original Dragon Ball manga done by Viz for obvious reasons.
    2. We include Vegetto as a form of Son Goku instead of a separated character for obvious reasons.
    3. We consider Dragon Ball GT as a continuation of the Z anime as they were stated multiple times to be the sequel to the anime.
    4. Neither the Dragon Ball Super anime nor manga are considered to be a continuation of Z as both stories have multiple retcons that rewrote the entire story of the anime, such as the entire Broly movie retconning the existence of Tuffle, the story of Bardock and the story of Goku.
    5. Dragon Ball Kai should be considered to be a remastered version of Z instead of its own story. The anime while cut many “bad scenes” of the original anime, it also keeps many other “filler” scenes like the Other World Tournament and the “filler” characters like Gregory.
    6. The late-end versions of Goku and other Majin Buu Saga characters who are weaker than Majin Buu can be considered to be potentially Universe level+ as the gap between they and Buu should be about a few hundreds to sextillions times at best.
    7. Contrary to some people's beliefs and some statements from the official sources, It has to be mentioned that Goku was no match for Majin Buu absorbing Gotenks. In fact, Goku at his full power, was not able to damage him at all.
    8. Goku and Vegeta's feat defeating clones of Gohan, Gotenks and Piccolo should be considered to be an outlier, as the same Goku later on was worried about fighting Majin Buu although the same Majin Buu was much weaker than Gohan and was outscaled by Gotenks.
    9. It should be mentioned that Goku was not anywhere close to Cell's power in their fight in the Cell Games, Cell causally outmatched Goku and did not get any significant damage, he only got damaged when Goku used Instant Kamehameha to blow Cell up, which made him weaker due to the fact that his regeneration takes energy.
