Dragon Ball is a colossal anime success story that’s arguably never been more popular and new manga chapters, video games, and feature films still dominate their respective fields. Combat is a regular occurrence in Dragon Ball and Goku is frequently turned to when it comes to the elimination of evil, despite the collective strength of Earth’s greatest heroes.
Goku greatly benefits from his Saiyan heritage and the many transformations that come along with it. However, Goku has also picked up some fundamental techniques throughout his many adventures, which have been just as crucial to his success. Goku loves to help others and share battle knowledge, which is exactly why he should help his allies master some of his most advantageous moves.
9 Instant Transmission Offers An Easy Exit When Nothing Else Is Possible
Instant Transmission is unquestionably one of the most helpful techniques in Goku’s arsenal and both he and his planet would have been destroyed multiple times over without its help. Goku accidentally stumbles upon Instant Transmission when he makes an unexpected pitstop on Planet Yardrat. This ability allows Goku to lock onto energy signatures and teleport himself, and others, to that destination.
Vegeta has also mastered this technique during his time on Yardrat. Yardratians are the experts with this technique, but Goku has had it for long enough that he could likely try to teach it to others. It’s an ability that every character can benefit from, especially with how often extra help is needed in battle.
8 The Kaio-Ken Attack Is An Essential Power Boost That Would Help Humans Thrive
Ironically enough, Goku’s first death turns out to be one of the best things that ever happens to the Saiyan thanks to the essential training that he receives under the tutelage of King Kai. King Kai’s expertise and unique planet equip Goku with several upgrades, but his Kaio-Ken Attack is his go-to power boost until he advances to Super Saiyan strength.
The Kaio-Ken Attack needs to be used in moderation and the user must be aware of their body’s limits. Since this is a teachable technique, Goku could reasonably show others how to tap into this transformation. The Kaio-Ken Attack would actually be the perfect way to make human characters like Tien, Krillin, and Chiaotzu relevant again.
7 Goku’s Dragon Fist Could Turn His Allies Into A Hydra Of Horror
Goku’s Dragon Fist attack is one of the Saiyan’s strangest abilities and it’s never properly explained how he knows this skill in the first place. Making its debut in the Dragon Ball Z movie, Wrath of the Dragon, Dragon Fist turns Goku into an enormous dragon who bursts through his target and restricts their movement. This incredible transformation makes any character a deadly threat.
Few sights would be as satisfying as a number of Super Saiyans simultaneously turning into dragons to destroy the competition. Dragon Fist is treated like its an innate skill that lays dormant in warriors and Goku could help them unleash it.
6 Telepathy Allows For Uninterrupted Communication That Enemies Can’t Intercept
Goku’s telepathy in Dragon Ball Z comes across more as a plot convenience rather than a justified ability. Goku administers this skill when he arrives on Planet Namek to get himself better acquainted with everything that he’s missed. Rather than shrug off this super skill, Goku should figure out how to teach others how to expand their mind.
Earth’s heroes could fight with unprecedented unity if they could all telepathically communicate and voice their strategies and concerns without their opponents having any idea what’s going on. The power could even be used to get into their enemies’ minds.
5 The Evil Containment Wave Is A Security Measure That Earth Must Memorize
The Evil Containment Wave is a special measure that’s first introduced in the original Dragon Ball during Demon King Piccolo’s reign of terror. Master Roshi uses the technique then, but he’s able to teach the special skill to Goku as a hopeful means to contain the threat of Zamasu.
Future Trunks also masters the skill in very little time, which indicates its relatively low threshold of difficulty. It might be a long time until the heroes have to once again make use of the Evil Containment Wave, but it’s just smart to equip all of Earth’s strongest with this skill. It’s likely that evil will one day strike and Goku won’t be around to help.
4 Goku’s Healing Factor Could Be A Gamechanger If More Heroes Take Advantage Of It
Dragon Ball typically focuses on a powerful offense, but there are numerous occasions where a Namekian healer like Dende or Monaito is the crucial ingredient for success. Healing powers are a rare luxury in Dragon Ball and it’s why Senzu Beans are treated with such reverence.
Nevertheless, Goku has demonstrated on a few occasions that he can heal himself or transfer his Super Saiyan energy into life force instead of a product of destruction. This healing factor is specifically linked to top Super Saiyan strength, but it’d make a lot of sense if Goku tried to foster this skill in Vegeta, Gohan, and Future Trunks.
3 Telekinesis Is A Psychic Skill That More Heroes Need
Telekinesis is one of the most prevalent psychic abilities and Dragon Ball characters rather freely make use of this power in unexpected ways. Perfect Cell memorably uses telekinesis to construct his Cell Games arena, but Goku has also repeatedly uses this power to help out others.
Dragon Ball loves to prioritize flashy energy blasts, but telekinesis can be just as useful and it presumably involves relatively simple ki manipulation. Piccolo, Chiaotzu, and other supporting characters have shown off telekinesis in limited capacities, which puts an even greater emphasis on why it’s something that everyone should know.
2 The Fusion Dance Involves Some Simple Dance Steps That Translate Into Prolific Power
Fusion is a quick and effective way for two–or more–fighters to combine their strength and skills into one powerhouse fighter. There are multiple means of fusion in Dragon Ball, but the dancing method is the most common and the only one that’s an actual technique.
The fusion dance is boiled down to a few basic movements that must be performed in complete synchronicity between the two involved parties. This dance is easy enough that even Goten and Trunks pick it up purely through watching others perform it. Fusion is another essential skill that would make sense for every character to know just in case they need to turn to it in trouble.
1 The Spirit Bomb Is The Ultimate Expression Of Trust And Love
Goku’s Spirit Bomb has taken out some of Dragon Ball’s strongest enemies and the attack is dependent upon how many others are around to donate their energy to form the deadly sphere of power. King Kai teaches Goku this technique, which establishes a baseline for how it can be taught to others who are so inclined to learn.
Many people forget that Krillin briefly wields the Spirit Bomb for Goku during the Saiyan invasion on Earth. This should have started a trend where Krillin and other humans train under Goku to master the technique.
