8 Strongest Versions of Goku in the Multiverse, Ranked

Dragon Ball‘s main character, Goku is always pushing himself to grow stronger, but he’s rarely the strongest character in the series. Goku’s not even the strongest Saiyan anymore after Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Although the Dragon Ball canon is strictly the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super mangas worked on by Akira Toriyama, the Dragon Ball multiverse has grown just as much as Goku has.

Between Akira Toriyama’s manga, Toei’s anime, the movies, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball DAIMA, and Super Dragon Ball Heroes, there are countless versions of Goku – each one stronger than the last. The most powerful versions of Goku have downright mutliversal Power Levels capable of shattering the very foundation of the Dragon Ball universe.

DAIMA Goku’s Power Level is Held Back By His Timeline Placement

Dragon Ball DAIMA

Dragon Ball DAIMA is one of the best anime in the franchise, and was Akira Toriyama’s final masterpiece before he passed away. Goku in Dragon Ball DAIMA is by no means weak. Even after being turned into a child again, it doesn’t take long for Goku to unlock his various Super Saiyan forms, and Mini Goku manages to pull out Super Saiyan 4 during his final battle with Gomah. It’s even implied that Goku grew stronger than Majin Buu following the end of Dragon Ball Z.

Unfortunately, DAIMA Goku is held back by the sheer fact that the Dragon Ball DAIMA anime takes place a lot earlier in the timeline than other Dragon Ball stories. Dragon Ball DAIMA is set only one year after the end of Dragon Ball Z. While DAIMA Goku’s gotten stronger since the battle with Kid Buu, he’s nowhere close to the levels of power his counterparts have in Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super, and especially Super Dragon Ball Heroes.

GT Goku is So Much Stronger Than He Looks

Dragon Ball GT

There’s a reason so many fans joke that the “GT” in Dragon Ball GT actually stands for “Goku Time.” A sequel to Dragon Ball Z set five years after the end of the Peaceful World Saga, GT Goku is stronger than he ever was in the original anime. Super Saiyan 4 Goku is one of the strongest characters in Dragon Ball GT, and wins almost all of his fights without any assistance.

Whenever spin-offs like Dragon Ball Heroes feature GT Goku, his version of Super Saiyan 4 is often strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Super Goku’s God forms. Like DAIMA Goku, being turned into a child doesn’t majorly hold Goku back. Mid-way through the Baby Saga, he’s already strong enough to fight enemies stronger than Super Buu and win. In the 90s, GT Goku was the strongest version of Goku imaginable. in a post-Dragon Ball Super world, however, he just can’t compete with newer, more broken versions of Goku.

Goku Black Different Ki Types Make Him One of the Series’ Most Dangerous Villains

Dragon Ball Super Anime & Manga

Goku Black is a version of Goku from an unseen future where Zamasu stole his body after that timeline’s version of the Tournament of Destroyers. Goku Black’s Power Level varies between the Dragon Ball Super manga and anime, but by the end of both arcs, he’s strong enough to fight Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta with minimal training.

Part of what makes Goku Black so powerful is his unique blend of Ki types. Goku Black has access to Goku’s biological Saiyan Ki, Zamasu’s Supreme Kai Ki, and God Ki. Interestingly, stealing Goku’s body resets Black’s biology, allowing him to abuse Zenkai boosts in order to grow even more powerful than the prime timeline Goku. Super Saiyan Rosé is even slightly stronger than Super Saiyan Blue, as a result.

Toei Goku Pulls Off Feats in the Anime He Never Could in the Original Manga

Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, & Dragon Ball Super Anime + Movies

The Goku featured in the original Dragon Ball anime, the Dragon Ball Z anime, Dragon Ball Super anime, and various movies (both canon and non-canon), Toei’s Goku is an absolute monster. The anime often goes out of its way to make Goku stronger than he was in the manga, especially in Dragon Ball Z. At the end of the Dragon Ball manga, Ultimate Gohan and Majin Buu are unquestionably stronger than Goku. In the Dragon Ball Z anime, however, Toei buffs Goku to the point of being the strongest character in the universe for the final battle.

This trend continues in the Dragon Ball Super anime, with Ultra Instinct Goku in the anime’s Tournament of Power being strong enough to physically overpower Jiren (whereas Jiren overpowers him in the manga). The main thing holding back Toei Goku from his canon manga counterpart these days is merely the fact the anime stopped with the Universe Survival Saga. Once the Dragon Ball Super anime remake catches up with the Moro arc and Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol anime finally premieres, Toei Goku will more than likely dethrone his manga version once and for all.

The Crimson-Masked Saiyan Killed 99 Versions of Goku From Different Timelines

Super Dragon Ball Heroes

The Crimson-Masked Saiyan is a version of Goku Black from Super Dragon Ball Heroes who was warned about his upcoming death in the Goku Black Saga by Fu, one of the most powerful demons in Dragon Ball. Fu gave Goku Black a Time Breaker Mask, which greatly rose his Power Level. From there, the Crimson-Masked Saiyan makes it his life’s mission to travel the multiverse and kill as many versions of Goku as possible.

Over the course of his time travels, the Crimson-Masked Saiyan kills 99 different Gokus from 99 timelines, including a version of Goku who knew Ultra Instinct Sign. Power-wise, the Crimson-Masked Saiyan is Ultra Instinct tier. He’s also capable of using the unique Super Saiyan Rosé 3 transformation, scaling him to around Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku’s level. It takes Goku and Vegeta fusing into Gogeta just to stop the Crimson-Masked Saiyan.

Xeno Goku is One of the Most Overpowered Characters in the Franchise

Super Dragon Ball Heroes

Dragon Ball - Goku's Xeno Outfit

Xeno Goku is the main Goku featured in Super Dragon Ball Heroes. Little is known about Xeno Goku’s backstory, but the fact he knows how to turn Super Saiyan 4 does connect him to Dragon Ball GT. That said, the events of Dragon Ball GT likely did not happen in his timeline since Goku is still an adult (and not dead).

In his Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker form, Xeno Goku is just slightly weaker than Perfected Ultra Instinct. In Xeno Goku’s timeline, he is a Time Patroller dedicated to fixing the multiverse. Xeno Goku has fought some of the most powerful villains in the Dragon Ball franchise, beating Demigra. The only thing holding Xeno Goku back is the fact he can’t use God Ki, but even then, he doesn’t seem to need it just based on his raw power.

Canon Goku is Growing Stornger With Each Saga

Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Super Manga

The canon version of Goku from Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball manga and Toyotarou’s Dragon Ball Super manga, Son Goku has come a long way since his boyhood days in the Hunt for the Dragon Balls arc. Starting with a Power Level of 10 – just double that of the average human – Goku has now become one of the strongest fighters in his multiverse. Since finally perfecting Ultra Instinct in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, there are few enemies Goku can’t beat. He’s not invincible, though, and Dragon Ball Super has made it a point to humble Goku time and time again.

As of the Dragon Ball Super‘s epilogue to the Super Hero Saga, Goku is behind both Vegeta and Gohan in terms of Power Level. This doesn’t bother him, though. If anything, Goku is thrilled that his son has finally surpassed him again, and he’s always in need of a strong rival to keep him breaking his limits like Vegeta. Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku will likely grow even stronger once the manga returns with the Black Frieza Saga.

Capsule Corp Goku is the Strongest Goku After Experiencing Almost Every Anime & Movie In His Timeline

Super Dragon Ball Heroes

Capsule Corp Goku

Capsule Corp Goku is another version of Goku from Super Dragon Ball Heroes, but distinct from his Xeno counterpart. Capsule Corp Goku comes from a timeline where Goku experienced the events of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and most of the movies, including Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

Capsule Corp Goku is extremely powerful, and would be able to defeat just about anyone in the canon timeline. CC Goku has perfect control over Perfected Ultra Instinct, and was able to beat the strongest version of Xeno Goku in a fight. Other versions of Goku just cannot compare to Capsule Corp Goku, and canon Goku will be lucky if he comes even a bit close to CC Goku’s staggering Power Level.

PakarPBN

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.

In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.

The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
