Summary[]
Son Goku (孫悟空 Son Gokū), also known as Kakarot (カカロット Kakarotto), is one of the Saiya People survivors and is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball franchise. Along with the vegetable one, 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 Earth Person 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. However, in some circumstances, if Goku gets his head hit extremely hard, he will regain his true Saiyan nature and become evil.

Even after being beaten down and essentially tortured by his opponents, losing the use of most of his limbs against King Piccolo and all of them against Piccolo Jr.. Fought against Slug with Kaio-ken times 100, pushing himself to his very own limits.
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Kilometers with energy-based techniques, Planetary with chain reaction and Power Pole, Intergalactic with Instant Transmission. Multiversal+, likely Irrelevant with Cosmic Awareness (After receiving Zenkai Boost, Goku’s evil persona had a vision about alternate timelines)
Standard Equipment: Power Pole and the Flying Nimbus.
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. When Goku regains his Saiyan nature, he becomes more pragmatic and merciless while he still has the previous self’s intelligence. He also lacks empathy in that state, allowing him to finish his friends and family off with no concern.
Weaknesses: Initially, Goku can be weakened and put into intense pain if his tail is grabbed or removed, though he gets over this after the Red Ribbon Saga. At first, he cannot fly without the Flying Nimbus, but he learns how to fly before the 23rd World Tournament. Has a phobia of needles. He needs to see a full moon in order to transform and as a Great Ape, he becomes an animalistic berserker with no control over himself. If Goku gets enough brain damage, his persona might be changed. Goku’s Saiyan persona might become too arrogant that he ignores the potential danger of his weaker opponents, sometimes his good persona returns under some circumstances, causing some bad troubles to him. Goku seeks strong opponents and therefore will allow his opponents to reach their full power for the sake of a good fight. 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. He needs to locate a Ki signature to teleport using Instant Transmission. Super Saiyan 3 drains his ki.
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. As a Super Saiyan 4, Goku can use the 10x Kamehameha as a Super Saiyan 4, which is his strongest move.
- Dragon Fist: One of Goku's most powerful techniques, used to destroy opponents much more powerful than himself. To use it, Goku charges at his opponent, rearing his fist back for a powerful punch, and then rips through them with it, manifesting his Ki in the form of a massive golden dragon, and causing a mega explosion for user's body.
- 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 Lord Slug, the greatest multiplier of Kaio-ken Goku can utilize is 100, which multiplies his stats by 100 times.
One of Tien Shinhan'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 multiverse'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.
- Golden Great Ape: An alternative and far more powerful form of Great Ape attained when a Saiyan with a tail and the power to become a Super Saiyan looks at the full moon or any other similarly large planetary body that can generate enough Blutz Waves. When exposed to these, Goku will transform into this state, becoming much more powerful but losing control of himself and falling into a berserk rage. Only when he regains his consciousness and gains control over the state will he transform into the ultimate Super Saiyan form, Super Saiyan 4.
- Super Saiyan 4: An incredibly powerful transformation only available to a Saiyan who has transformed into a Golden Great Ape and regained control of themselves. While most need to be exposed to Blutz Waves to access this transformation even after unlocking it, Goku is a special case and can access it whenever he wishes. It is a different branch of transformation than the previous three Super Saiyan transformations, and it returns Goku to his true adult form when he uses it, giving him access to his full power on top of its own. Super Saiyan 4 is much more efficient than any Super Saiyan transformation before it, allowing it to be easily used and maintained.
- Super Saiyan 5: The next level of Super Saiyan 4 and also the most iconic form of Dragon Ball AF. Goku unlocked the form by mastering all of his Saiyan's emotional stages, allowing him to power-up to very limit.
