Six hours after drinking the water (manga), he writhed in pain and agony as the venom coursed through his body.įinally overcoming the poison, Goku’s potential was unlocked. Korin proceeded to tell Goku about the water and its potential unlocking properties. Too weak to fight King Piccolo in his current state, Goku saught out Korin for help. This form itself might be strong, but with no control or skill to harness it, it remains pretty weak. The downside to this is that only Saiyan Elites retain their sentience in this form, being able to truly harness its power, while lower-class Saiyans lose all sense of self. This form grants them immense power without hindering their movement speed.
In Saiyan Biology, Saiyans transform into The Great Ape form under the Full Moon. It wasn’t until Jackie Chun destroyed the Moon that Goku reverted to normal. During his fight with Jackie Chun, he transforms and begins destroying the stadium. Goku’s second time transforming was during the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. It took Yamcha and Puar cutting off his tail to change him back. He transformed from Kid-Goku completely, leveling Pilaf’s castle with no effort.Ĭonsequently, he had no control over the form. He first transformed into The Great Ape after he looked at the Full Moon in the cell Pilaf trapped he and his friends in. The Great Ape is one of Kid-Goku’s stronger forms but is a form he has only ever used twice. This might’ve been Goku’s weakest form, but he was far from weak. It makes you ponder these kinds of things. He was able to take bullets to the head, destroy tanks with ease, defeat creatures dwarfing him in size (he was already a pretty short kid) and completely demolishing an entire army single-handedly by the time he was 13. It makes me wonder do you think Goku received a Zenkai boost when he hit his head as a baby? He learned the Kamehameha minutes after watching Master Roshi, which took him 50+ years to perfect, mind you. Granted, his Saiyan biology gives him a natural talent in combat as well as boosts in power occurring after surviving brushes with death. We are first introduced to him at the very beginning of his martial arts journey, so this is the weakest form of Goku. We are starting our list with the Goku that started it all, Kid-Goku. In this list, however, we’re going to focus on all of Goku’s canon forms from weakest to strongest. From every series, game, and spin-off Goku has taken many different and exciting forms. By surpassing his limits and growing stronger as a fighter, he has shown us that there is always room to grow and improve.īe it a shapeshifting pig, a Saiyan Prince, or even a God of Destruction he overcomes every new opponent that stands before him, never backing down. Over the past 30+ years of the series, Goku has taken on dozens of forms. Goku is the poster boy of the Dragon Ball franchise, and the strongest there is.
