Goku

"I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good; nightmare to you!"

History
Son Goku, or his Saiyan name Kakarot, was born from a low-class warrior Bardock on Planet Vegeta. He narrowly escaped the extinction of his entire race when he was sent to Earth as an infant with the mission to wipe out the inhabitants and conquer the planet. But as raised by the adoptive grandfather Son Gohan and fell from the deep ravine, caused his memory to discombobulate. He's no longer growing up to become as a savage warrior, but instead... he became innocent, righteous and pure of heart; fighting for good and later becoming Earth's greatest defender (as well as the informal leader of the Z Fighters). Goku is peaceful, good natured, honest, loving to his family and friends, loyal, trustworthy, and brave. If he has a weakness, it is his trusting nature. He always finds the good in people when others don't see it, though Goku's enemies sometimes take advantage of his naive trust. He first started the extraordinary adventures after he made an encounter with Bulma with the search of the Dragon Balls and met throughout their globetrotting journey some greater foes, allies and rivals from Earth to the afterlife and further cosmos. Throughout his life, he trains hard and strives to be the greatest warrior possible, while at the same time using his amazing strength and skills to uphold peace.

 * Destructo Disc: The user concentrates Ki into the form of a razor sharp disc, and is hurled at the target to slice them.
 * Kamehameha: In spite of being invented by Master Roshi, this is Goku's most famous move. He fires a massive beam of Ki, and Goku has invented several more forms of Kamehameha:

 * 7) Double Kamehameha: One kamehameha wave bursts forth from each hand.

 * Godly Ki: An extremely powerful form of Ki that vastly surpasses conventional Ki. It can also only be sensed by deities and a select few other beings.

The Super Saiyan
Originally thought to be of mere myth and legend, with the advent of the Frieza Saga, Goku has attained such a form, after he witnessed his best friend Krillin die at the hands of the Galactic Tyrant, Frieza.

Super Saiyan 1

 * Increases power 50x his base form.
 * Proportioned to his physical abilities, which gives him an even greater boost in strength, ki power, speed, stamina and durability.
 * He is able to stack Super Saiyan power multipliers with each form. So with being Super Saiyan 3, he is 400x stronger than his base form.
 * In this form, Goku was able to far and above outclass Frieza, who was giving him huge trouble before. He still wasn't able to defeat Goku even when he used his full power.

Super Saiyan 2

 * Twice as strong as a regular Super Saiyan and greatly boosts his stats.
 * 100x stronger than his base form.
 * When Gohan achieved this form, he was able to make even Cell look like child's play. Everyone before struggled or died fighting him, or his Cell Jrs. Including Goku.

Super Saiyan 3

 * Four times stronger than a Super Saiyan 2, and also once again greatly boosts his stats.
 * 400x stronger than his base form.
 * Is able to fight more evenly with Kid Buu than the previous forms.

Super Saiyan 4
Note: This form is not canon to the main Dragon Ball continuity.
 * Ten times stronger than Super Saiyan 3, which would make a Super Saiyan 4 4000x stronger than Base Goku.

Super Saiyan God

 * Enormously surpasses even the likes of Super Saiyan 3, allowing Goku to keep up with a Beerus who was holding back, and clash with him, creating a shockwave capable of rippling throughout the Universe. Old Kai stating that just three of those punches could annihilate the universe, though this is likely hyperbole.
 * Takes some time to fully master. However, Beerus hinted at the time limit being able to be mitigated.
 * Unlike the other Super Saiyan forms, Super Saiyan God has a time limit, making it not a permanent tranformation.
 * Allows the user to regenerate from wounds.
 * While he can lose the form, he can retain it's power, allowing Beerus to continue to battle Beerus on equal grounds using just his base and SS1 Form.
 * Enables the user to possess and sense Godly Ki

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (AKA: Super Saiyan Blue)

 * Achieved by going Super Saiyan while already being in Super Saiyan God mode
 * With the Kaio Ken, he is able to gain an even higher increase in strength, being able to resist even a brief Timestop.
 * This is a direct upgrade to Super Saiyan God, as it has no time limit.
 * Is leagues above even the Super Saiyan God and every other Super Saiyan form
 * Requires Ki Control and Focus
 * Enables the user to possess and sense Godly Ki

Feats
Pre DBZ/DBS Goku: DBZ Feats: DBGT Feats: DBS Feats
 * Narrowly evades a laser blast
 * FTE Combat Speeds
 * Evades another Laser
 * FTL during the Frieza Saga
 * Crossed Snakeway in as little as 2 days (Saiyan Saga)
 * Can Lift this much tons (calc)
 * Along with Vegeta, fights Kid Buu, and finished him off at the end with a Spirit Bomb. (Note: The Video is extremely long.)
 * Fights Frieza. This is considered one of the LONGEST fights in Anime History.
 * Destroyed Omega Shenron with the Universal Spirit Bomb
 * Fights Super 17
 * Easily defeated both Super Perfect Cell and Frieza

Note: The Anime "DBS" is the main canon, rather than the Manga.
 * Resists Hit's Timestop in his fight against him He also surprises him with his swift speed and even outpaces him.
 * Abused Instant Transmission against Beerus, an opponent way stronger than him, who was holding back at the time, then blasts him with a Kamehameha
 * Is able to keep up with a Beerus who isn't using their full power in a fight, moreso due to his God forms. A Beerus going all out, stated by Elder Kai, is Universe Level, and it's also stated again by Vados, except this time with two universes. Whis also stated that Goku and Beerus' power can destroy the Universe
 * Beerus is a guy who can also extremely casually and without using his full strength, merely tap his fingertip, and blew up half a planet. Beerus also made SS3 Goku, Gohan, Gotenks, Majin Buu, and a going all out SS2 Vegeta all look like child's play.
 * With the Super Saiyan God Form, he shook the Universe when he clashed with Beerus.
 * The Narration states Goku is likely Universe Level
 * Fights Beerus
 * Fights Beerus, 2
 * Fought and defeated Golden Frieza (though he did had help from Vegeta)

Weaknesses and Faults

 * Will avoid unfair advantages, preferring a fair fight.
 * Lacks a formal education and is academically weak. However, he is a combat expert.
 * May be a bit too forgiving.
 * The Super Forms drain his Ki.
 * Limited, but still a vast amount of Ki

How large is the Dragon Ball Universe?
Another highly controversial issue in VS Debating is how large is the DBZ Universe. It is a common argument that the Universe that Goku resides in is simply 4 galaxies, however, others have raised their own counterarguments to try and prove that the Universe is much larger than simply 4 galaxies. With this picture however, the DBZ Universe has been confirmed to be more than just 4 galaxies.
