Son Goku, known for his appearance as the main protagonist of the manga series Dragon Ball, is a playable guest character in Mortal Kombat X.

Appearance

Goku has spiky black hair that never changes throughout the franchise (except when in his various Super Saiyan forms). He is most commonly seen wearing his trademark orange/red/golden gi over a dark blue short-sleeved undershirt. The gi has featured either Master Roshi's, King Kai's, or Goku's own kanji on its back, as well as Roshi's or Goku's kanji on the front-left side (over the heart). After the Frieza Saga and during the Androids Saga and Majin Buu Saga, Goku stops wearing any kanji on his gi, but he retains the dark blue undershirt. He also wears dark blue wristbands, along with dark blue boots with a yellow or red border that are outfitted with red or brown laces. He originally wore a blue obi tied in a knot over his waist, although after the Frieza Saga this was changed to a blue sash.

Biography

• Mortal Kombat X: Born of the Super Saiyan race, Goku was sent from planet Vegeta to Earth to destroy the planet. However, he has amnesia as he bumped his head, causing him to forget about his purpose for being on planet Earth and then grew to become one of the good guys. He trained throughout his life under Master Roshi and many powerful gods. When he became an adult, he has already become a hero the world needed, though many foes from outer space tried to stop him, including a couple of other Saiyans such as his former enemy Vegeta.

Signature Moves

• Kamehameha: Goku charges the Kamehameha Wave while saying its name before launching the blast of energy at the opponent. Spans the whole arena, but can be jumped over. (MKX)
  • The enhanced version is called Super Kamehameha and Goku will charge a more powerful Kamehameha Wave while saying its name before launching the blast of energy at the opponent.
• Ki Blast: Goku launches a blast of ki energy at the opponent, staggering them slightly on impact. This can be done a total of five times.
• Instant Transmission: Goku puts his finger on his forehead before teleporting behind or above the opponent.
• Solar Flare: Goku performs a pose and launches a blast of bright light at the opponent, leaving them dizzy for a short period of time.
• Kaio-Ken: Goku rushes at the opponent while draped with crimson energy, causing damage to the opponent. However, it also inflicts damage to Goku as well. If performed while standing still, Goku will be draped in the Kaio-Ken for a period of time, increasing his stats but still damaging him. (MKX - Z-Fighter Variation)
• Power Pole: Goku swings the Power Pole at the opponent, hitting them from a large distance. This can also be done from various angles. (MKX - Z-Fighter Variation)
• Super Saiyan: Goku screams and glows with power until he finally transforms into a Super Saiyan, his hair turning spikier and golden while his eyes turn blue. In this form he gains a boost in stats as well as the ability to perform certain moves while in this state. (MKX - Saiyan Raised on Earth variation)
• Dragon Throw: A command grab. Goku grabs the opponent, spins various times, and hurls them to the other side of the stage. (MKX - Saiyan Raised on Earth variation)
• X-Ray Move - Meteor Combination: Goku delivers several rapid punches and kicks before punching the enemy's stomach, breaking it and stunning them as Goku jumps into the air where he blasts the enemy with a Kamehameha, melting the heart. (MKX)

Other Moves

• Throw: Goku kicks the opponent, hard, then uses Instant Transmission to warp behind them and punch them in the back. (MKX - Saiyan Raised on Earth Variation)

Fatalities

• Destructo Disc: Goku forms a disc of concentrated ki in the palm of his hand, then hurls it at the opponent. It flies at them in a horizontal position, carving right through their torso. As the opponent stands in shock at what has occurred, the Destructo Disc flies back at them, vertically this time and cuts through their back. The legs give way and the torso falls to the ground in two pieces, held together only by the opponent's head and neck. (MKX)
• Final Dragon: Goku punches the opponent at high speeds, causing them to stagger back violently. Charging ki into his fist, he punches them full in the abdomen, his bloody fist emerging from their back, then retracts it as they barely cling to life, charges ki in between his palms, then fires a point-blank Kamehameha that completely incinerates them. (MKX)

Brutalities

• Brutality #1 - Spirit Bomb: Goku flies into the sky and holds his hands up, palms facing upward. Energy gathers and forms into a giant, bluish-white sphere. After a quick chargetime, the Bomb is dropped onto the opponent, leaving heavy damage on them. It can be dodged, only by going to the furthest corners of the stage. (MKX)
• Brutality #2 - Rock, Scissors 'N' Paper!: Goku will deliver either a strong punch, a poke in the eyes, or an open palm strike. (MKX)
• Brutality #3 - Zanku Fist: Goku delivers a powerful physical rush and hit combination. (MKX - Z-Fighter variation)
• Brutality #4 - Dragon Fist: Achievable only in Super Saiyan mode. Goku quickly transforms into Super Saiyan 3 before launching a powerful punch at the opponent, the aura of a dragon surrounding Goku as he performs the attack. (MKX - Saiyan Raised on Earth variation)
• Brutality #5 - Now I'm Really Mad!: Goku does a rush attack where he punches the opponent away with a left hook and knocks them to the ground with a double axe handle. (MKX - Saiyan Raised on Earth variation)
