Who can Beat Goku?

Fans of the Japanese anime Dragon Ball tend to think very highly of Goku, at least when it comes to his absolute, overwhelming power. After following his evolution through all the stages in the original Dragon Ball saga, the Goku we knew as a child today trains with the gods of his universe. 👼

Given his strength, it's hard to imagine Goku getting killed by anyone. But trust us, all it would take is a new character from another anime looking to have a little fun with him. As powerful as Goku is in DBZ, there are a number of characters who would be able to compete against him. But we warn you. The power differences between Goku and the heroes and villains that follow vary greatly. Compared to them, Goku's supposedly overwhelming strength is considered cute at best.

So don't blame us, but instead blame the manga authors who brought these incomprehensible power levels to life and maybe blame (with deep respect) Akira Toriyama for not giving Goku's arsenal a shot. extra inch. Who can Beat Goku? So here are 10 anime characters who could surpass him without even breaking a sweat!

10. ZEN'O SAMA (DRAGON BALL SUPER)

We start with a character that is certainly familiar to you. We hope that Goku will be in a happy and playful mood facing this battle, because as you know, all Zen'o knows how to do is spend time having fun, not really taking his role seriously guardian of all universes united in the Dragon Ball Super series. 🪐

On the other hand, anyone who disturbs the Omni-King is likely to already be found guilty before he can even formulate a thought against him. If Goku doesn't want to play a board game with his opponent, and instead seeks to prove his superiority with a fully charged Kamehameha, Zen'o Sama will destroy him and his entire universe before even leaving to get a cookie from a other world. 🤡

9. RYUK (DEATH NOTE)

If Ryuk fought Goku, we wouldn't witness a great spectacle. Goku would be placed at the far end of the arena, keeping his guard up against an invisible opponent. We might try to hear the faint scribble of pen on paper, then watch the Saiyan warrior swing desperately for 40 seconds, trying to hit an enemy he can't touch, until his heartbeat drops stop. 💀

For Ryuk, fighting Goku would be boring. If you've seen the anime, you know that he will only need to write his opponent's name in the Death Note, and since he is a Shinigami (spirit) , he cannot be either seen nor touched. The fight would be over in less than a minute, and then Ryuk would go back to eating apples and bugging Light Yagami.

8. GOKU VS SAITAMA (ONE PUNCH MAN)

This fight is sure to put on a decent show, although it won't last very long either. The length of the match would likely depend on Saitama 's mood and schedule. For example, if he is in a hurry to get to the supermarket on his way home, he is likely to handle his opponent with a single punch and rush out of the arena. This would therefore result in a fight won because of the expulsion from the ring. 🥊

Goku is very strong, but he usually needs to put in a little elbow grease to win his fights. Meanwhile, Saitama's greatest enemy is his eternal lack of challenge. So far, there's nothing in the One Punch Man anime series that suggests Saitama couldn't destroy Goku, but everything we know about this staple character seems to imply that he could. Or maybe not. We answered the question in our article Goku vs Saitama: who wins? So don't hesitate to read it if you want to know the end of the story! 🤴

7. GOKU VS RHINOFEROS (POKEMON)

This point might surprise some, but we must not forget Rhinooferos' strongest move: Rock Head . If this attack succeeds on Goku, the Super Saiyan will be extinguished for good. Since he's so used to playing fight with Earth's fiercest villains, Goku isn't likely to take Rhino seriously at the start of the battle. 🦏

This would be the Saiyan's fate, as all Rhino would need is to land one move. For Goku to have a chance here, he would have to be a Water or Grass-type, completely immune to Normal-type moves, like his attack. 🌿💧

6. GOKU VS SAILOR MOON (SAILOR MOON)

If the two main stars of anime dating back to the 90s were to face each other in a full, balanced battle, it would be completely one-sided and unfortunately not in Goku's favor. The Saiyan's hair and good looks will do nothing to intimidate the Moon Princess. Goku can scream all day and night, reaching the stage of evolved Super Saiyan 10 coupled with Ultra Instinct if he wants, but Usagi Tsukino's goddess status places her in a whole new level. 👑

She doesn't even have to demonstrate her vastly superior speed and vanishing ability - if she wanted to, she can melt the matter surrounding their fight, twisting Goku's poor face. But for Son Goku's sake, if these two ever meet, we hope they'll still be on the same side! 🧚‍♀️

5. GOKU VS THE TRUTH (FULL METAL ALCHEMIST)

All paths lead to the ultimate Truth , whatever route we take to get there. If Goku ever walked through the door at the end of space and time, this is the face he would encounter. Truth doesn't usually engage in fist fights - being absolutely omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, it really never has to because it is an entity in its own right, present in every universe. 👻

However, this character is fun-loving and would not want to engage in combat for the sake of this list. Hopefully, she will find it in her extra-dimensional heart to bring Goku back once the battle is over, because after a Truth hit, the Saiyan atoms would be scattered across the multiverse. 💥

4. GOKU VS ALUCARD (HELLSING)

Granted, Goku could probably take on Alucard if the latter had some of his restrictions in place. However, when Alucard has complete control over the range of his devastating abilities, there is no possible threat that Goku can form in response to his attacks. 💣

Alucard will transform into a mass of pure shadow, making himself immune to any moves from Goku. Once Alucard's fangs connect with his prey, we will watch our hero disappear. Superhuman strength and faster-than-light speed don't count for much against the Immortal King of Vampires . 🧛‍♀️

3. GOKU VS NARUTO (NARUTO)

First of all, it should be said that there is not really a comparison between Naruto and Goku, two such iconic characters. But let's still see if Naruto can beat Goku! 🤝

Naruto is a shinobi , essentially a ninja, who is much stronger, faster, and agile than a normal human. He uses and masters his chakra to walk on water, jump enormous distances, grant himself powerful skills. He can also transform into a huge 9-tailed fox and stealthily disappear right in front of you. But he is not invincible. 🦊

Goku for his part is rather a sort of hybrid human , or even rather an extraterrestrial belonging to the Saiyan race. He has incredible stamina, fighting skills, even though he is a total jerk, he is a prodigy when it comes to fighting. He can use his ki to reach unprecedented levels of power. It can easily and literally destroy planets if sufficiently powered. His unwavering tenacity gives him unlimited potential. 🏆

So there is no comparison between Naruto and Goku. They are both powerful in their own right! 😉

2. GOKU VS EXODIA (YU-GI-OH!)

If Goku ever encounters Yûgi Moto, the hero of the manga and cartoon Yu-Gi-Oh!, in an alley late at night, he better hope that the master duelist doesn't have the best deck of his great -father with him. So yes, Yugi wouldn't last a second against Goku in melee, but if he manages to summon the great Exodia the Cursed, this Super Saiyan would have no room for maneuver. 🧟‍♂️

No matter how many health points Goku might have, the number would drop to 0 after Exodia's attack. Simply put, once Exodia is summoned, the game ends in a blinding flash of light. Exodia would then return to its slumber, waiting for the next time its five pieces were assembled again. 💢

1. GOKU VS SAGITTARIUS (SAINT SEIYA)

The debate in the fan base comparing Saint Seiya 's power levels to those of Dragon Ball still rages to this day. Despite what we've seen of the power of our heroes in Toriyama's series, they unfortunately fight at a lower level compared to the warriors in Saint Seiya. This tribe is strong, to say the least, and Sagittarius Seiya is mythologized as the most powerful among them. 🏹

While Goku draws his strength from his own ki, Sagittarius' Aiolos is driven by the fiber of the cosmos itself. He summons energy equivalent to the level of a Big Bang to execute each of his strikes, so imagine what Goku would look like after Aiolos sent a Sagittarius Arrow in his direction! 💘

BONUS. GOKU VS TORI-BOT (DRAGON BALL)

As surprising as it may be to hear, there is a character even more powerful than Zen'o in the Dragon Ball universe. In fact, this little character is infinitely stronger than the Omni King, who himself is infinitely powerful. This is because he created Zen'o, Goku, and the entire multiverse that contains them. ✍

We're talking about Tori-Bot - the strange boy who appears from time to time in the Dragon Ball manga. This is the avatar of Akira Toriyama himself, the man responsible for this glorious story. This is the perfect character to end this TOP in style!
