Origin:[]
Goku's animations and attacks mostly take inspiration from his role during the Saiyan Saga, more specifically his beatdown of the saiyan Nappa and his iconic first confrontation with the saiyan prince Vegeta.
- Dragon Ball manga chapter 224 "The Quiet Wrath of Son Goku"
- Dragon Ball Z anime episode 28 "Goku's Arrival"
- Dragon Ball Z Kai anime episode 12 "Farewell, Piccolo! Goku's Furious Counterattack!"
Though through story exclusive attacks, there are references to his appereance during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, and his battle against Piccolo Jr.
- Dragon Ball manga chapter 167 "New Challengers"
- Dragon Ball anime episode 134 "Preliminary Peril"
However, taking the "Z" on his name into account, as well as the Episode Battle exclusive animations, his first appereance is technically during the encounter with his brother Raditz at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z.
- Dragon Ball manga chapter 195 "The Mysterious Warrior From Space"
- Dragon Ball Z anime episode 1 "The New Threat"
- Dragon Ball Z Kai anime episode 1 "Prologue to Battle! The Return of Goku!"
