Throughout the series mainly in the Z portion(not even going to talk about GT) but it seemed like Goku had MCD. Main Character Disease. Some other main characters got them in other series. Some have a bad-case and some have good cases. Goku would be in the middle. Here's how I rank it. Goku-Saiyan Arc: Good case. He was the strongest with reason but still had to work to fight VEgeta and didn't brush him aside with ease. His kaioken was the main source of power even to beat Nappa due to his speed. He also needed other character to help him get a tie with Vegeta. By the end of the fight Goku was beaten and torn apart. In the beginning of arc was highly outclassed and did not even get a surprise hit on Raditz. He had trouble with King Kai's Training. - The disease is curable Goku-Namek Arc: Needs to be treated ASAP. His power during the Ginyu saga was fine since he had 100x training but after Ginyu it got way out of hand. From what I can recall zenkai comes when a saiyan is near death. The way Goku got zenkai in the Namek arc was for the sake of the plot. From what I can infer Goku wasn't that close to death when he got back in Goku's body after being in Ginyu's. I'll say he was close to being koed or unconscious but near death? I would't say that. But when he healed it showed the zenkai was for the plot rather then logical. In this arc Vegeta was literary working for power and getting near death zenkai. I'll say Vegeta went from 23k to over 30k. Then once he healed from Rikum beatdown he was around 300 - 525k since he was able to clash with Freeza. That's still a large amount. It's a 10% - 57% increase. But compared to Goku who wasn't as damage as Vegeta when he fought Rikum went from 90k to 3,000,000 plus the kaioken. Which is a 30% increase. That's only a 27% change in increase but Vegeta worked for it more while Goku was getting MDC. I'm not a Vegeta fanboy. I prefer goku over him. I understand why people prefer if Goku was 300,000 because that's more logical. Even if Piccolo was 1 million or 1.3 million Goku haves kaioken to boast. He also got ssj once Kurrin dies so that can still put Goku being the strongest. The disease is fatal. Other anime character will get a zenkai because it speards lol. Goku - Cyborg Arc: Decent. Just take pills. His power increase wasn't huge. I'll say he went from 3mill to about 3.5 mill to 4 million. Since Goku was inactive for most of the arc he didn't get a alot of boast but when he did it was ALOT. But this time it's explained due to Goku training method being better then most. I do wonder what type of Zenkai he got after having a virus. That's closer to death then what he had in Freeza arc. Goku plays a mentor-father role while Gohan plays the son-student role during the last parts of the arc. The disease is getting better. He'll be healthy in a weak. Goku - Djinn Boo arc: Unexplained. I mean Goku was treated like a side character till Akira wanted him to be the hero again and made the main villain weaker so Goku can win. Him getting ssj3 should have gotten a flashback through. Even if it would've been filler. Though I'll say Goku was going to the MCD in Boo also because he started to be a Main Character Jackass. He pretty much said "I'll let the young fight for now". When he have to power to stop people from dying. Boy did that back fire on him. The Earth blow up. Goku didn't even know about Goten. Why would he say "I'll let the fight go to the new generation". I mean I have no issue with Goku passing the torch but Akira should have let the young kill the main villain instead of Goku pulling power at of his a* and goes "I can beat buu at full power SSJ3." "I could have beaten Buu eariler" The disease is no longer a disease no more. Just an author having favoritism on a character. Let's face it. The basic formula for Goku in the Z portion of the story is.. 1. Goku gets taken out of action(Death, Hospital, Healing Tank, Sick/Virus, Dead again, a* kicked by Beerus) GASP 2. Everyone panics and say they NEED Goku 3. Supporting Cast(Or you can argue other main characters like Gohan and Vegeta) gets their time to shine and kicks a*** only for the bad guy to be to strong for them(In Namek's case henchmen and Freeza was to strong). 4. Goku is HEALED, Goku is ALIVE, or Goku's HERE! 5. Goku returns with or about to get BIG POWA! 6. Win or lose Goku somehow saves the days(Goku telling Gohan to look at the Moon, Goku throws frog, Goku "kills" Freeza, and Goku motivates Gohan, and Goku befriends Beerus) with the only time it differs was when Vegeta made the Genki Dama plan.
