Goku's power tier is extremely high and constantly escalating, moving from planetary threats in Dragon Ball Z to Universal or even Multiversal levels in Dragon Ball Super, especially with forms like Ultra Instinct, placing him among the strongest beings in fiction, capable of fighting gods and impacting entire universes. Early DBZ had quantifiable power levels (e.g., 180,000 on Namek), but DBS transcends these with divine transformations, making him a Tier 2-C (Universe Level+) or higher, with some scaling him to Multiversal in his peak forms like Perfected Ultra Instinct.
Goku was stated to be stronger than he was in Battle of Gods Saga in his base form (a.k.a.
