Every Goku Form From Weakest to Strongest, Ranked
----- ADS-----
The belovedDragon Ballfranchise is famous for laying the groundwork for modern shōnen, introducing several tropes that have become standard for the genre. One such trope is transformations, as all modern shōnen heroes have access to several forms, each with unique powers and weaknesses. Across the Dragon Ball story, Goku has had many forms, from the now-legendary Super Saiyan form to several more obscure ones that only appeared on-screen for a single episode.
What makes Goku’s forms interesting is how much their power varies, as while some only upgrade Goku’s strengths, others unlock powerful new abilities that allow him to take down his foes in the blink of an eye. But which of Goku’s forms is the mightiest, and which needs to return to Roshi for more Turtle Hermit training?
Goku’s basic non-transformed state has changed a lot during Dragon Ball. At the start of Dragon Ball, he is a small boy who knows little about the world, but as the story continues, he grows up, becoming a teen and finally a mature adult. While Goku’s base form lacks the majesty of Super Saiyan and his other transformations, it shouldn’t be overlooked.
