Yes, Goku Has Defeated Multiple Godly Beings
As a lifelong Dragon Ball fanatic and power level analyst, I can definitively say that Goku has proven himself capable of surpassing and defeating divine fighters. Through new transformations and mastery of his skills, Goku has beaten multiple opponents with legit godly powers.
Goku‘s Arsenal of Godly Transformations
Over the years, Goku has unlocked incredible new Super Saiyan forms that have allowed him to reach god-like levels of power:
Super Saiyan God
This fiery red-haired form was revealed in Battle of Gods when Goku underwent a ritual to absorb power from other Saiyans. According to the Dragon Ball Wikia, this form multiplies his base power exponentially, though exact numbers are uncertain. Even after reverting to normal, Goku retained much of this divine energy.
Super Saiyan Blue
By combining godly ki with his Super Saiyan transformation, Goku can use Super Saiyan Blue. Most sources, like ScreenRant, agree this form multiplies his powers by 50x over regular Super Saiyan. This has become Goku‘s signature transformation when facing the strongest foes.
Ultra Instinct
Perhaps Goku‘s greatest power-up yet came from unlocking Ultra Instinct during the Tournament of Power. This advanced technique lets him dodge and counter attacks without thinking. According to the Dragon Ball Wikia, Whis claims mastering Ultra Instinct means Goku may have even surpassed the Gods of Destruction.
- Here‘s a quick data table summarizing Goku‘s god-tier forms:
| Transformation | Power Level Estimate | Key Details |
|---|---|---|
| Super Saiyan God | Unknown, but exponentially higher than Super Saiyan 3 | Gives divine ki control |
| Super Saiyan Blue | >50x stronger than regular Super Saiyan | Combines God ki with Super Saiyan |
| Ultra Instinct | Passed Gods of Destruction | Automatic dodging and countering |
As we can see, Goku has steadily mastered new levels of power that are firmly in god territory. Next let‘s see how he‘s used these abilities to overcome godly foes.
Godly Fighters Goku Has Surpassed and Beaten
Thanks to his new transformations, Goku has surpassed many fictional gods and god-like beings:
Beerus – God of Destruction
The purple cat god Beerus was the first legit deity Goku encountered in Battle of Gods. According to Beerus‘ Wikia page, he is over 75 million years old and powerful enough to destroy entire galaxies when angry. Initially Beerus defeated Goku with ease, but Goku has since reached Beerus‘ level based on statements by series creator Akira Toriyama, noted by many outlets like ComicBook.com. For example, during the Universe Survival Tournament, Goku fought Jiren, stated to have power surpassing a God of Destruction. This likely places Goku on Beerus‘ tier presently.
Toppo – God of Destruction Candidate
During the Tournament of Power, fighter Toppo abandoned his moral code and achieved a God of Destruction form. As FoxBusiness noted of the episode, Toppo rivaled Beerus‘ power in this state. But Goku defeated Toppo using Super Saiyan Blue and his barrage of Kamehameha waves, showing his abilities now exceed a God of Destruction candidate at least.
Jiren – A Mortal Surpassing Gods
The Tournament of Power‘s final villain Jiren was built up as a fighter with unquantifiable power even universe gods couldn‘t exceed. Polygon highlighted how Jiren withstanding Goku‘s Spirit Bomb was framed as passing the gods. In the end, Goku in Ultra Instinct Omen and later Mastered Ultra Instinct defeated Jiren‘s mighty Power Impact attack and knocked out Jiren. This demonstrated Goku can now square up with mortals wielding power of the gods.
Across these three examples, we see Goku has definitely reached the realm of gods with his cultivated strength. And given his penchant for ever-increasing power, more godly victories likely await. For now, let‘s recap his credentials:
- Has achieved multiple transformations with godly ki
- Reached or surpassed Beerus the God of Destruction
- Defeated Toppo who employed God of Destruction energy
- Beat Jiren after he surpassed gods with Power Impact
So in my expert Dragon Ball analyzer opinion, evidence clearly shows Son Goku has what it takes to beat gods thanks to his dedication to self-improvement. It‘s his deepest Saiyan impulse according to ScreenRant – to fight stronger opponents and keep reaching new heights. And for we passionate fans, it‘s sure exciting seeing what godly threats he‘ll overcome next!
