The official Dragon Ball Best Goku Fight Poll will cover the character's entire life to date
The poll will also cover Goku's entire timeline, meaning his fights as a child are also eligible. For example, a humorous introduction scene of a young Goku defeating a giant fish for food without wearing any clothes can be voted on by fans. Additionally, the poll will include battles in both anime and manga. This means that Goku's fight with Gohan Beast in the Dragon Ball Super manga is acceptable, along with other fights that are exclusive to the manga. Even the boy Goku who fought with a tree stump will be voted.
Considering Dragon Ball's 40-year history, fans have countless Goku battles to choose from. “Victory Uchida”, host of the video show “Weekly Dragon Ball News” and manga editor for Dragon Ball Super, gave his own suggestions to fans for the best Goku battle: Instinct Super Goku vs. Goku Moro. The second character comes from the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga” in the Dragon Ball Super manga – an ancient, goat-like demonic creature that escaped a trap, causing chaos across the galaxy. Although his original appearance is weak, Moro's additional transformations make him so powerful that even the likes of Goku and Vegeta have difficulty keeping up with him. He is one of the strongest and most cruel villains in Dragon Ball history.

For many readers of the Dragon Ball Super manga, “Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga” is considered the best in the series. The horror-like approach and dramatic atmosphere are reminiscent of DBZ's “Cell Saga.” Goku is pushed to the brink forcing the Super Saiyan to return to a more serious attitude than what Super Clown tends to portray him as; This arc also shows how much Vegeta has grown in strength and compassion. What fans especially love about Moro's storyline, however, is how it allows the series' most forgotten characters to finally shine.

Dragon Ball Daima, the upcoming fall 2024 anime series, is the last Dragon Ball project that Toriyama worked on before his death in March.
