Background

A monkey-tailed orphan who lived in a rustic area called Mount Paozu with his grandfather Gohan. After his grandfather's death, Goku inherited his prized possession, the 4 star Dragon Ball. Unbeknownst to Goku this Dragon Ball was part of a set of 7, that could summon a dragon that could grant any wish. His ownership of the ball eventually caused him to meet a girl named Bulma, who enlisted him on a quest to collect the rest of the balls. After this initial quest Goku became a student of several other martial arts masters, and saved the world from various villains who wanted to use the Dragon Balls for evil. The original Dragon Ball saga ends with Goku marrying a girl named Chi-Chi. 


In terms of personality Goku is light hearted and simplistic. He initially has little understanding of modern technology due to his rustic upbringing. 

  • DB Ep 1 2:00 The narrator explains Goku’s origin and how he was raised by Gohan and inherited the 4 star Dragon Ball 

  • DB Ep 1 7:40 Goku lifts a car and meets Bulma for the first time

  • DB ep 31 8:41 Chi-Chi as a child saying she was going to marry Goku

  • DB ep 137 11:26 Goku and Chi-chi promise to get married

  • DB ep 148 21:22 Goku was offered the role as guardian of Earth


In Dragon Ball Z Goku is revealed to be an alien warrior called a Saiyan. It’s explained Goku Goku was originally born on the planet Vegeta and was sent to Earth to conquer it. When Goku arrived on earth was then found by a martial artist named Gohan, he lost his memory due a head injury, and became a docile inhabitant of the planet.

  • DBZ ep 2 10:20 Goku meets Raditz and being told his origin 

  • DBZ ep 2 12:12 Goku being told an injury to the head erased his memories 

  • DBZ ep 2 12:48 Roshi recounting how Gohan found Goku. Then Radizt telling him he’s a Saiyan 


In Dragonball Super Goku’s origin was added too slightly. His mother Gine and his father Bardock intentionally sent him away from the planet Vegeta because they suspected Freeza wanted to destroy the planet. This expanded origin was detailed in Dragon Ball Minus and Dragon Ball Super Broly..

  • Jaco ch 12 This short one shot acts like a new origin story for Goku. Retconning precious Bardock appearances.

Master Roshi

Goku’s most famous martial arts master.

As well as fighting him to gain possession over the “sacred water”, a supposed magical water that grants those who drink it great strength. Korrin’s teaching focused mainly on learning how to waste less movement, and anticipating an opponent's attacks.

Popo/Kami

Goku’s final set of teachers in the original Dragon Ball were the guardian of earth Kami and his assistant Popp. They have a  large focus on how not to waste movement in battle. They also focused extensively on teaching Goku how to achieve inner peace and fight without relying on his normal senses. These teachings were mainly focused around sensing Ki, and advanced ki manipulation techniques. As part of Goku’s training he also used a room called the pendulum room to travel back to a recreation of the past to learn Ki manipulation directly from Roshi’s master Mutaito.

  • DB ep 127 3:12 Popo teaches Goku to not waste movement

His training there is centered around strength training and mobility. For example he chases down to catch or knock out King Kai’s assistants Bubbles and Gregory under the planet's 10x gravity. King Kai also teaches Goku several Ki manipulation techniques, such as the Kaio-Ken and Spirit bomb.

  • DBZ ep 19 3:18 Goku meets King Kai

  • DBZ ep 19 11:12 Goku is told to try and catch the monkey Bubbles as training

The angel attendant of lord Beerus. Whis’s training focuses on mastery of God ki and learning the basics of the ultra instinct technique.

  • Revival F 25:46 Goku and Vegeta training with Whis

  • Revival of F 28:11 Whis explains how Goku is focusing too much on thinking while fighting. That the end goal is to have your body parts move independently of each other. 

  • Revival of F 30:01 Whis says that Goku lets his guard down too often

  • DBS ep 18 3:06 Vegeta has learned to sense god ki 

  • DBS ep 18 7:11 Goku’s training with Whis involves changing blankets for Beerus without waking him up.

  • DBS ep 18 19:10 Whis first alludes to the concept of Ultra instinct. He says that the end goal of his training is for Goku’s body to be able to move and react independently of his thoughts. He says Beeru’s has tried learning this, but has not mastered it. 

  • DBS ep 20 14:15 Goku and Vegeta are sent to another dimension as part of their training. This dimension immobilizes them unless they can control their energy without letting it leak out. The dimension is stated to feel like the hyperbolic time chamber

  • DBZ ep 27 6:49 It's stated Vegeta learned how to use god ki without the usage of the Saiyan ritual via Whis’s training. 

  • DBS ep 28 3:08 Goku and Vegeta doing weight training under Whis 


Meerus

Goku’s most recent trainer. Meerus is an angel who taught Goku how to tap into the ultra instinct form at will. Most of his training consisted of emotional control in harsh battles.


Self training

Goku regularly trains on his own. He typically focuses on fundamentals and increases his power output.


Misc

Goku learned advanced Ki “spirit control” from the inhabitants of Yardrat

Weaknesses

In Goku’s earlier days he often had a habit of growing weaker due to hunger.

  • DB ep 104 17:46 Goku being weakened due to a lack of food

  • Blood Ruby 22:50 Goku starts to grow weaker from hunger

  • DB ep 76 7:45 Goku being weakened by his tail being grabbed

  • DB ep 96 10:48 Goku reveals himself to have gotten past his tail grabbing weakness


It should also be noted that since most of Goku’s abilities are based around using Ki, he can’t use them if his power reserves run out. Characters being unable to fly when low on energy for example is a common example. Goku also can have trouble using IT if he can’t concentrate or is low on power.

  • DBZ ep 6 22:13 Goku can’t fly when low on energy 

  • DBZ ep 277 19:30 Goku is unable to use IT because he can’t concentrate
