** As an adult, Goku's temper is actually uncommonly even and it takes a ''lot'' to get him truly angry. however, the most surefire way to get him to explode like a bomb is harm his closest friends and family - and especially so if he's ''taunted'' about it.

** As a kid, Goku had no qualms about killing his enemies. As time progressed and he got older, he starts to mellow out more and becomes more merciful. There's the fact that Goku, as a child, had no concept of the morality of taking lives when he was blowing up Red Ribbon Army vehicles. He'd lived most of his life alone in the woods. He barely understood death, thinking that when he accidentally killed his grandfather, his grandfather just became the 4-star Dragon Ball. There are sometimes he killed purposely though such as killing a fleeing Tambourine and later his father King Piccolo to avenge Krillin, not that Tambourine or Piccolo didn't deserve it. Another part of his no kill policy come later when many of his worst enemies became his loyal friends, realizing that if they could change, anyone could. When he does finally use lethal force against villains like Frieza and Cell, it's because he realizes that they're [[MoralEventHorizon beyond redemption]] and rotten to the core.

** According to [[http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2015/03/27/new-interview-translations-akira-toriyama-special-talks/ Toriyama]] this holds true even for the original Japanese anime. He was dissatisfied by the “righteous hero”-type portrayal the anime gave him. In the manga, Goku is supposed to be depicted as someone who doesn't fight for others, but fights for himself to get stronger. He wanted to depict someone who isn't a classic hero and can even be seen as not being a good person because of his selfish desire (a little bit of poison that sneaks through his character as Toriyama puts it). However, even going purely off the manga, this depiction of Goku is lost in translation since most of Goku's motives pertain to protecting or avenging his family and friends, and he does help people he barely knows when it didn't completely relate to fighting; like storming Muscle Tower to repay Suno for saving him from freezing to death and avenging Upa's father who was murdered by Tao before taking down the Red Ribbon Army, and getting the Dragon Balls to revive him. He wanted to fight the Saiyans not because they were powerful, but because they were going to murder everyone he knew and he didn't want to help fight Buu, despite having the power to do so, because he didn't want his friends to [[CrutchCharacter depend on him to save them]], which if he was completely selfish he wouldn't care and fight Buu for the sake of having a good battle. It could be said that Toriyama's original intentions for Goku evolve into something slightly different as CharacterDevelopment took over. Goku is a hero with a good heart, but he has selfish and personal motives that can override his better judgement.
** Zigzags in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': Overall, Goku comes across as less heroic and is closer to Toriyama's version of the character. That said, Goku is more heroic in the series when compared to the movies, ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'', where Toriyama had more active involvement in the writing. In the Battle of God Saga, Goku wants to rush to Earth to stop Beerus from destroying the planet and only relents after King Kai points out that his involvement could destroy the Earth by making Beerus mad. In the movie, Goku willingly stays on King Kai's planet to train and reach Super Saiyan God. Goku is also happier with the results of becoming of Super Saiyan God (although he calls the power empty since it isn't his own) and fights mostly to protect the planet from Beerus ([[AdaptationalVillainy who is also more of a jerk]] since he attacks the planet directly to push Goku's power), while still having a good time. In the movie, Goku is unhappy with Super Saiyan God since it's a level he couldn't reach on his own and he fights Beerus more for himself until the end. In the Resurrection 'F' Saga, Goku ''hates'' Frieza a lot more and tells the tyrant that he feels nothing but contempt for him despite normally loving fighting strong opponents. He also berates Frieza for being so careless to come to Earth without mastering his golden form and only spares him because he sees him as [[NotWorthKilling too pathetic to kill]]. In the movie, Goku is happy that Frieza becomes so powerful in such a short amount of time, didn't really take the threat seriously, and [[SparingTheAces spares Frieza so he can train his golden form and come back to fight him again]]. And when he's forced to kill Frieza to keep him from destroying the Earth, he warns Vegeta to get out of the way and hesitates for a second since he might hit him, while in the movie, Goku fires his Kamehameha while Vegeta is still within range.

** He [[RageBreakingPoint loses it]] when he hears from [[spoiler: Goku Black and Future Zamasu that Black murdered his family after taking his body using the Super Dragon Balls and killing him. Goku screams that he [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge will make them pay]] before plummeting both of them. It's all in vain since Future Zamasu is an immortal who can't be killed and Goku Black only grows stronger from the beating. Once Goku Black powers up, he easily defeats Goku]].

* BizarreAlienBiology: Goku is a Saiyan who are {{Human Alien}}s who are insanely aggressive and love to fight, have tails, and can transform into giant apes in the light of the full moon if they still have their tails. If they are pushed close to death and recovers, they increase their strength. Despite this, they can interbreed with humans, creating even more powerful hybrids. In Goku's case specifically, he has an enhance [[SuperSenses sense of smell, hearing, and sight]].

* BullyHunter: One of the types of people Goku dislikes the most are those who intentionally abuse their power. When Krillin is put down by his former temple classmates for being a weakling, Goku tells Krillin to go all out when he fights them, when before he tells Krillin to hold back to keep from hurting people. He also despise the Saiyans for being {{Space Pirate}}s who committee genocide and wants nothing to do with his own race. Although Goku doesn't grow stronger necessarily to protect others, he does believe that being powerful gives you certain responsibilities, like not terrorizing those weaker than you.

* TheAce: Made abundantly clear since the early parts of ''Dragon Ball''. [[AwesomenessByAnalysis He learns techniques just by watching them once or twice]], and [[AdaptiveAbility become immunes to them since he knows how to counter them]]. Within a few years, his martial art skills surpasses all his masters, including God/The Guardian of the Earth, and wins the World Martial Arts Tournament when he's still a teenager becoming the WorldsStrongestMan. He then finds out ''why'' he's able to do all these things when it's revealed that he's a [[HumanAliens Saiyan]], who are a race that is born for battle. [[InexplicablyAwesome Even that]] doesn't fully explain how he's able to defeat members of his race considered to be elites and even royalty, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu defeat and/or kill seemingly invincible aliens and monsters]], achieve ''all'' the available Super Saiyan transformations and even go beyond [[PhysicalGod godhood]]. He's so good that everyone defers to him to solve the problem of the current arc, even if he isn't the strongest at that moment. His ace status, however, does get [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] after the Frieza Saga. Because he is so powerful and so good at what he does, [[CrutchCharacter his friends and family depends on him too much]] to fix the current problem, which leads to a BadFuture in one alternative timeline. His one true rival, Vegeta, [[OverShadowedByAwesome becomes so sick of being overshadowed by Goku]] that he sells his soul for power and unleashes Majin Buu upon the world.

He's so good that everyone defers to him to solve the problem of the current arc, even if he isn't the strongest at that moment. His ace status, however, does get [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] after the Freeza Saga. Because he is so powerful and so good at what he does, [[CrutchCharacter his friends and family depends on him too much]] to fix the current problem, which leads to a BadFuture in one alternative timeline. His one true rival, Vegeta, [[OverShadowedByAwesome becomes so sick of being overshadowed by Goku]] that he sells his soul for power and unleashes Majin Buu upon the world.

*** During his battle against Freeza on Namek, Freeza successfully imprisons Goku in a ball of energy and Goku is helpless to stop it until Freeza intentionally makes the ball explode. This one, however, could simply be chalked up to the fact Freeza was way out of Goku's league at the time.

* BoringButPractical: In a Toriyama's interview, he says that after Goku's battle against Beerus, he reached the conclusion that it is overall better to just train his base and Super Saiyan forms to become stronger instead of relying on transformations since Super Saiyan 2 and 3 are little more than extensions to the normal Super Saiyan form that ultimately [[AwesomeButImpractical drains more energy in the long run]]. In ''Dragon Ball Super'', the transformations Goku uses regularly are his Super Saiyan form and his Super Saiyan Blue form, which is just Super Saiyan merged with godly energy. He does uses Super Saiyan 2 and even goes Super Saiyan 3 to showoff to Future Trunks, but Super Saiyan 2 is treated an in-between transformation that Goku uses when he wants to test opponents who surpass him as a regular Super Saiyan.

** As a kid, Goku had no qualms about killing his enemies. As time progressed and he got older, he starts to mellow out more and becomes more merciful. There's the fact that Goku, as a child, had no concept of the morality of taking lives when he was blowing up Red Ribbon Army vehicles. He'd lived most of his life alone in the woods.

*** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' Chiaotzu successfully restrains Goku for a few seconds using his power. Granted, Goku was only in his base form, relaxed, and Chiaotzu took him by surprise, but the fact that Chiaotzu can affected Goku for ''any'' lenghth of time at all despite the massive, ''massive'' gap in power makes it clear it's still a soft spot for Goku.

* AlmightyJanitor: He'd merely be a lowly soldier if he was raised a Saiyan. That said, he becomes one of the most powerful beings in the universe [[spoiler: (even becoming a PhysicalGod as of Battle of Gods)]]. For the people of Earth, he is this as well. Outside of the martial arts community and other circles, the general public doesn't knows who he is. In ''Super'' when Mr. Satan attempts to get Goku to fight an alien in front of bunch of regular people, everyone, including the aliens, are dismissive towards him because he looks like a country bumpkin. It didn't help that Goku was wearing his farmer's outfit at the time, making him an Almighty Farmer.

** Goku has this dynamic with all of his friends. During his childhood and teen years he serves as the 'someone better' to Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, and even Piccolo. As an adult this gets reversed on Goku where he is the underdog compared to the other Saiyans, especially Vegeta, since they lived on planets with higher gravity and it's believed Goku would never catch up no matter how hard he tried on Earth. Once he reaches Namek, he becomes the 'always someone better' to Vegeta for the rest of the series.

* AmazonChaser: Despite Chi-Chi being harsh and some times overbearing on him, Goku likes her this way. Vegeta lampshades that weak women are not suited for a Saiyan.

* AnimalBattleAura: His aura some time takes the form of a Great Ape, like the punch he uses to kill King Piccolo. The canon questionable Dragon Fist takes the shape of a giant golden dragon.
* AnimalMotifs: Although all Saiyans have the monkey motif, Goku embodies it the best. As a child, he would sometimes mimic a monkey's movements like running on all fours, swinging from trees, and grabbing objects with his feet. He also have the monkey's playful and mischievous nature, but can become quite violent when enraged.

** Initially Zamasu held a one-sided hatred towards Goku, due to being a mortal who dared to challenge the Gods, and became obsessed with Goku. However the feeling becomes mutual after Goku learns [[spoiler: Zamasu stole his body to became Goku Black, and then uses it to kill him, Goten, and Chi-Chi]]. This absolutely enrages Goku who hasn't been this angry since Frieza killed Krillin, calling them "bastards" and declaring that he would never forgive them. He then goes after [[spoiler: Goku Black and Future Zamasu]] in pure rage, hellbent on killing them.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Goku is a very easygoing and kind person who tries to be polite and friendly to everyone, but you do ''not'' want to piss him off.

** [[spoiler: His fit of rage against Goku Black and Zamasu in the future is another moment where this side of him can be seen at it's fullest. Goku goes utterly mental after they both rub in his face that they slaughtered his family for kicks, and are briefly forced back as Goku proceeds to beat them savagely.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: Is an absolute pro at this. Whenever things look the most grim, Goku will usually appear out of nowhere and save the day (or least give the heroes a fighting chance). He saves Krillin seconds before Blue would have crushed his head in with a rock and he stops Drum from killing Tien after he arrives to fight King Piccolo. In ''Z'', he arrives just in time to save Gohan from Nappa, arrives on Namek minutes before everyone is killed by the Ginyu Force, and recovers a little before Frieza can give Vegeta the killing blow ([[{{Subverted}} although Vegeta gets killed anyway since he mouths off to Frieza]]). In the Cell Saga, he rescues Tien and Piccolo after they are both get mortally wounded by Cell and in the Buu Saga he teleports within second of Super Buu blowing up the Earth. It got to the point that Goku's friend lampshades this tendency of his.
* BigEater: A RunningGag with him. Most infamously, after coming in second during the first World Martial Arts Tournament, Master Roshi (the winner), decided to cheer him up by treating everyone to a big dinner. Goku's bill wound up costing Roshi all the prize money, and he would've eaten ''more'' if the restaurant hadn't run out of food! As it turns out, all Saiyans are like this. Vegeta and Gohan can eat just as much to the awe of the humans, Nameks, and gods they hang out with. In ''Super'', we see him with a pile of plates and bowls large enough to feed at least ten people, and Chichi is worried because this is ''less than half'' of what he usually eats.

* BoringButPractical: In a Toriyama's interview, he says that after Goku's battle against Beerus, he reached the conclusion that it is overall better to just train his base and Super Saiyan forms to become stronger instead of relying on transformations since Super Saiyan 2 and 3 are little more than extensions to the normal Super Saiyan form that ultimately [[AwesomeButImpractical drains more energy in the long run]]. In ''Dragon Ball Super'', the transformations Goku uses regularly are his Super Saiyan form and his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form, which is just Super Saiyan merged with godly energy. He does uses Super Saiyan 2 and even goes Super Saiyan 3 to showoff to Future Trunks, but Super Saiyan 2 is treated an in-between transformation that Goku uses when he wants to test opponents who surpass him as a regular Super Saiyan.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: One of his defining characteristic. His friends often comments on how he can be so powerful, yet also so gentle. This also sticks out since he is an unapologetic BloodKnight.

%%* BumblingDad: Sometimes he is seen as this, especially by Chi-chi.

** As a kid, Goku had no qualms about killing his enemies. As time progressed and he got older, he starts to mellow out more and becomes more merciful. There's the fact that Goku, as a child, had no concept of the morality of taking lives when he was blowing up Red Ribbon Army vehicles. He'd lived most of his life alone in the woods.

When he does finally use lethal force against villains like Freeza and Cell, it's because he realizes they're [[MoralEventHorizon beyond redemption]] and rotten to the core.

* CheerfulChild: As a child, he is an relentlessly happy person despite most of the stuff that happens to him like the death of his grandfather at an early age and living alone in the mountains for a number of years.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As a child, although he meant well, Goku's overwhelming naivety and unusual priorities could be very off-putting to other characters and make his choices difficult to understand, like him being unable to tell a female from a male without patting them and his inability to do simple math. At times, he seemed to lack common sense. He does gets better as an adult, but he still have his moments because of his fight obsessed personality. Hit thinks that he's a young and naive fighter because he tells him his game plan before they fight, Beerus though he was nuts for challenging him to a fight despite knowing that he's the God of Destruction, and Zamasu finds Goku downright annoying and arrogant. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass They're often surprised to find out that Goku isn't as empty-headed as he seems]].

* ConfusionFu: As a kid, he was less predictable in his fighting style. He would randomly leave himself open, confusing his opponents, and some times danced around for no reason. This is mostly because [[UnskilledButStrong Goku wasn't fully trained]] and tended to get over excited when fighting. He did some time purposely mixed-up his fighting style, like his Crazy Monkey style (basically, fighting more like a monkey) and calling the wrong attack names, like saying paper and attacking with rock when using his Rock-Paper-Scissors technique.

* CrutchCharacter: And he's fully aware that he is one and even Toriyama seems to regard him as such to the point of finding more [[DeusExitMachina contrive]] ways to keep him from ending the saga sooner. He knows that, eventually, he will die permanently, and if the other characters haven't become strong enough to cope in his absence, there will be a huge problem. To that end, he starts trying to train others up to his level, which is why he didn't kill Majin Buu when he had the chance, choosing to teach Goten and Trunks the FusionDance, because he didn't want the new generation to think that they can rely on him to save the day, especially since he's dead in the Buu Saga until Old Kai revives him. However, the new villains inevitably are so overbearingly powerful that only Goku has the strength to beat them in the end. Doesn't help that his successors tend to be lazy about keeping up with their training, although he sees promise in Pan and Uub. There's even an alternate timeline, which Future Trunks comes from, that provides quite a frightening insight to what would happen if his friends depended on him too much. Androids 17 and 18 kill every protagonist with great ease and bring humanity to the verge of extinction. [[{{Deconstruction}} Pretty grim, ain't it?]][[note]]In that case, it seemed that while the Androids may have been too powerful for even Goku to handle, Future Bulma seems to think that he'd ''still'' be able to do something about it, which is about the same thing. The main timeline itself proves this theory since despite being weaker than the Androids, Goku put systems in place so they didn't destroy the world, like telling everyone about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, personally training Gohan to surpass him, choosing a new guardian to restore the Dragon Balls once Kami is gone, and rescuing falling friends by teleporting them to safety.[[/note]]

* TheBigGuy: When he's not in a leadership or main character role, he becomes this since he is one of the powerful beings in the universe and is considered the 'heavy hitter' along with Vegeta among his group of friends.

** Initially Zamasu held a one-sided hatred towards Goku, due to being a mortal who dared to challenge the Gods, and became obsessed with Goku. However the feeling becomes mutual after Goku learns [[spoiler:Zamasu stole Goku's body and became Goku Black, and then used it to kill him, Goten, and Chi-Chi]]. This absolutely enrages Goku, who hasn't been this enraged since Frieza killed Krillin, calling them "bastards" and declearing he would never forgive them. He then goes after Black and Zamasu in pure rage, hellbent on killing them.

** While Zamasu's hatred towards Goku was initially one-sided, the feeling becomes mutual after [[spoiler: Future Zamasu and Goku Black gloats about how they stole his body and used it to kill him, Goten, and Chi-Chi]]. Goku yells at the top of his lungs calling them "bastards" and how he will never forgive them. He then goes after Black in pure rage. Note this is the first time in ''Super'' Goku has ever been so pissed off.

* ChasteHero: His friends are taken aback when they realized that Goku has successfully become a father. He didn't even know what marriage meant and [[IsItSomethingYouEat thought it was something to eat just a few years ago]][[note]]the phrase Chichi used was 'will you accept (me as your) bride?', with the parenthetical not being required in Japanese since it's already obvious to anyone who knows what a bride is[[/note]].

** [[spoiler: His fit of rage against Goku Black and Zamasu in the future is another moment where this side of him can be seen at it's fullest. Goku goes utterly mental after they both run in his face that they slaughtered his family for kicks, and are briefly forced back as Goku proceeds to beat them savagely.]]

He's so good that everyone defers to him to solve the problem of the current arc, even if he isn't the strongest at that moment.

His one true rival, Vegeta, [[OverShadowedByAwesome becomes so sick of being overshadowed by Goku]] that he sells his soul for power and unleashes Majin Buu upon the world.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite Goku being clueless about love and affection to the point that he has never kissed Chi-Chi on the lips since they've been married, he does have feelings towards his wife. He even tells Vegeta that he likes Chi-Chi for being headstrong. In ''Super'', when he was sick with Delay Ki Syndrome, he didn't want to tell Chi-Chi about his illness because he didn't want her to worry. And [[spoiler: when Goku Black brags about murdering his family, [[RageBreakingPoint he loses it]] and attacks both Black and Future Zamasu]].

-->'''Whis''': Relaxing too much is also a problem, as is your overconfidence with yourself. No matter how powerful your are, where you are empty on KI your body is still an incredibly fragile thing. You are too often complacent, caught unprepared and off-guard.

** In ''Super'', Beerus invokes this by introducing Monaka, a fighter who gave him a much better fight than Goku and is the strongest mortal fighter in Universe 7. [[spoiler: [[MotivationalLie This is story Beerus makes up to encourages Goku and Vegeta to become stronger]]. Monaka is actually not very strong]].
