The Dragon Ball franchise's Goku is one of the most formidable fighters in the universe, and in his time he's astonished a lot of different characters, often times through his various power-ups and transformations. However, that doesn't mean Goku himself isn't impressed. We've compiled a list of fifteen times Goku was left impressed in the Dragon Ball franchise, culminating in one that left him absolutely shook.

Probably the most awe-inspiring moment on this list is when Goku, after the introduction of Beerus who himself impressed the Z Fighter when he defeated him like he was nothing, was when the God of Destruction introduced him to the greatest fighter in Universe 7: Monaka. Although most people realized quickly Monaka was not even close to as powerful as Beerus made him out to be, Goku is much too naive and trusting, so he figured the character was actually intensely powerful. He was actually a tool Beerus used to motivate Goku to train harder.

In order to keep the con going, Beerus actually disguised himself as Monaka, and the two fought an absolutely epic battle in one of the funniest episodes of the whole series. This left Goku blown away by the strength he perceived Monaka as having.
