Through constant training, Goku has achieved many abilities; aside from his great strength, he also possesses super speed,[16] reflexes and energy blasts by using chi. As a child Goku originally wielded the Nyoi-bō (如意棒 lit. "Mind Stick", renamed "Power pole" in the English dub), a magic staff that extends and retracts on command which was given to him by his grandfather Gohan.[1] His first known attack was Janken (ジャン拳), which he would deliver three chops and punches in rapid sucession, each representing either rock, paper, or scissors.[17] He also learns, through simple observation, Master Roshi's technique the Kamehameha (かめはめ波, lit. "Turtle Striking Wave"),[18] which then becomes his signature move. Another technique of his is an attack that multiplies the user's chi for an instant, called the Kaiō-ken (界王拳, lit. "World King Fist"), taught to him by King Kai.[19] Originally Goku's main means of conveyance was on a magic cloud called Kinto-un (筋斗雲 lit. "Candy Cloud", renamed "Flying Nimbus" in the English dub), which was given to him as a child by Master Roshi for saving Turtle.[20] After his training with Kami he learns to fly through the technique buku-jutsu (舞空術, lit. "Air Dance Technique") and uses the cloud less and less as the series progresses.
Goku's most powerful attack is the Genki Dama (元気玉, lit. "Good Spirit Ball", renamed "Spirit Bomb" in the English dub), a powerful sphere created by gathering chi energy from surrounding life forms, which he also learned from King Kai.[12] Goku also learns a teleportation skill called Shunkan Idō (瞬間移動, lit. "Instant Movement", renamed "Instant Transmission" in the English dub), which he learned from the inhabitants of a fictional planet called Yardrat.[21] His last known attack is Ryu-ken (龍拳 "Dragon Fist"), which engulfs Goku in chi that takes the form of a golden color Shenron.[22]
Goku is also the only Saiyan in the series to achieve all the Saiyan transformations seen in the manga. During the events of Dragon Ball Z, Goku becomes the first Super Saiyan in a millennium after being overcome with rage by the murder of Krillin by the hand of Frieza[23] and as the series progresses he achieves every single advanced level of Super Saiyan. Each transformation changes Goku's appearance and enhances his abilities.
In Dragon Ball, he is able to transform into a gigantic ape called an Oozaru,[24] albeit after his tail is removed by Kami, he loses the capacity to achieve this form.[25] However, in Dragon Ball GT, Goku is able to use this transformation again after regrowing his tail using the Elder Kai's help.[26]
Goku can also fuse with Vegeta and create a warrior who has the combined power and skills of both. One method is by using the Potara Earrings presented to Goku by the Elder Kai, which results in a 'perfect fusion', creating Vegito.[27] The other method is by performing the Metamorese Fusion Dance, which creates Gogeta.[28]
