There’s a reason why goku perhaps the strongest mortal warrior of all Dragon balland that’s because he has no shortage of techniques, boosts, and transformations that give him the power to literally surpass the gods—and this is no exception, as it secretly explains why. why Goku is basically invincible.
Goku becoming invincible is not necessarily a new development in Dragon Ball canon. In the age of the classic Dragon Balls, Goku traveled the world with Bulma, searching for the Dragon Balls and simply killing any bad guys they came across. Sure, some of them created a temporary challenge, but Goku won pretty soon after the battle started. From small gangs and world-class assassins, to the global fascist regime and their killer cyborgs, there’s no one Goku can’t beat (King Piccolo is one of the few exceptions. notable, as Goku had trouble defeating him). Goku was the greatest from the start, and that trend has continued in every other era of the franchise – and in the end, Dragon Ball GT explains why.

In Dragon Ball GT episode 57 (written by Atsushi Maekawa, directed by Osamu Kasai, produced by Toei Animation), Goku is fighting a Shadow Dragon while trying to collect all the cracked Dragon Balls. before the dark energy they emit deals additional damage. In the previous episode, it was revealed that the Dragon Balls generate and collect negative energy with every wish granted, and that negative energy gives life to the Dark Dragon. Now, the dark dragons are free and wreaking havoc on Earth – and only Goku is strong enough to stop them.

As Goku described when the Shadow Dragon was shocked that his freezing power didn’t work a second time, Goku’s body automatically created a ki shield to counter this attack, as it knew exactly how strong it will be compared to last time–and his body already does this without Goku having to consciously think about it. This ability is far from the one-heartbeat Super Instinct based on this description and completely explains why Goku has such an excellent winning record. In every fight that Goku participates in, he doesn’t go all out and instead takes a little hit from his opponent. Other Z-Fighters always say that Goku does this to see how his opponents fight, but this episode of GT reveals that Goku is actually building up his body’s natural immunity to with the opponent.
Dragon Ball fans already know that Saiyans get stronger with each battle (especially as they get closer to death), but this ability takes that understanding a step further. Goku only needs to go a few rounds with someone before his body can automatically defend with a ki shield, all while Goku continues to give his all throughout the battle.
