Defeating Goku involves exploiting his specific weaknesses, like his fear of needles, or using overwhelming power or specific techniques from other universes (like reality-warping or magic), as direct physical combat is nearly impossible; in games, it means precise counters and exploiting openings when he's distracted.
Saitama (One-Punch Man)
This gives Saitama an edge, as his strategy is to end fights swiftly. A single punch to Goku's head or body could be enough for him to secure a quick victory, preventing Goku from transforming into his more powerful forms, which might present a tougher challenge.
Villains in Dragon Ball Super absolutely love attacking Goku's heart. During the Resurrection 'F' Saga, it's shown just how vulnerable Goku is when his guard is down, as Sorbet is able to blast through his chest with a laser ring.
Goku's fear of needles is a character trait that adds depth and humor to his personality.
The rarest Saiyan, according to Vegeta, is his son Trunks, not Broly, because Trunks was born with blue hair, breaking the traditional Saiyan biological rule of black hair, making him a unique anomaly in Saiyan history. While Broly's "Legendary Super Saiyan" is incredibly rare and powerful (occurring every thousand years), Trunks' natural birth trait sets him apart as the truly rarest individual.
The Ultimate Tenkaichi Hero manages to defeat Omega Shenron and collects all seven but is confronted by Ultimate Shenron who attacks them when he is summoned due to Omega Shenron's negative energy.

He was defeated by Roshi via KO in the 21st Budokai. Tien by a technicality and ringout. Tao shot and nearly killed him and had he bothered to finish the job, Goku would be dead. King Piccolo defeated and nearly killed him.
Goku's power level is famously both 8,000 (in the original Japanese) and 9,000 (in the iconic English dub) during the Vegeta Saga, a difference caused by a translation choice that created the legendary meme, though in the story, Vegeta declares it's "over 8,000" or "over 9,000" when Goku powers up for his fight. While Goku's base level was around 8,000 (or 5,000 suppressed), his true power was much higher with techniques like Kaio-ken, exceeding these early readings significantly.
Zeno is also noted for having taken an immediate liking to Goku due to the Saiyan's often similar childlike, innocent, and naïve personality in addition to his tendency to get easily excited about things he finds are out of the ordinary.
Wikipedia of Yes, Goku's iconic Kamehameha attack is directly named after King Kamehameha Hawaii, with Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama's wife suggesting the name for its memorable sound, even though the Japanese name simply means "Turtle Destruction Wave" (Kame= Turtle, Hame= = Destruction, На= Wave).
A shocked Goku then tries to fire a ki blast, but Hit throws a punch in front of him which creates a shock wave that caves in a circular hole on Goku's left side of his chest that stops his heart.
The kanji 悟 (Go) in Goku's name means "wisdom," "enlightenment," "awareness," or "to perceive," representing his journey of understanding and spiritual growth, derived from the Buddhist concept of awakening to emptiness (空, Kū). He wears this symbol on his gi after intense training, signifying his mastery and connection to Buddhist principles, much like the original Monkey King character.
Seven-Three, also referred to as Seventhree or 7 73, is an OG Soldier and former member of Goichi's Army and the Galactic Bandit Brigade in the Dragon Ball series. His official designation is OG73-i or OG73-I. He is an emotionless, merciless android, following only his allies' commands.
Dragon Ball isn't in the "Big Three" (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach) because the term refers to series that dominated Shonen Jump and the manga market in the early to mid-2000s, a different era from Dragon Ball's peak, which is considered the grandfather or precursor that paved the way for the genre. The Big Three were popular concurrently, whereas Dragon Ball Z finished its run before Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach hit their massive stride together, defining a new generation of shonen dominance.
Goku: 76, even though you might think his IQ could be even lower sometimes, he often proves he can do some smart things too, especially while fighting and especially during DBZ.
He cries when he meets his grandpa Gohan again and when he kills King Piccolo. Goku shows emotions, he just doesn't really cry when he's an adult.
Cabba is a slim, short-statured character with fair skin, designed by Akira Toriyama. He has black, spiky hair with a bang over his forehead, akin to Gohan's during the Majin Buu Saga. Cabba's eyes are narrow, featuring large black pupils.
This could possibly be due to how the games portrayed Broly's hair as being green in his Legendary Super Saiyan form, seeing as Broly's hair looks green in multiple occasions throughout the original movie, which could easily confuse viewers into thinking his hair is supposed to be green, instead of its intended color.
No, Gotenks is not 100% Saiyan; he's a Hybrid Saiyan, a fusion of two half-Saiyan boys (Goten and Trunks), making him an Earthling-Saiyan hybrid, just like his components, but with doubled potential. He's considered a Hybrid Saiyan because he inherits human DNA from his mothers (Chi-Chi and Bulma), not full Saiyan lineage, which is why he's in the "Hybrid Saiyan" category in games like Dokkan Battle, not "Pure Saiyan".
