Goku is one of the paragons of good in the Dragon Ball Universe. He tends to not be the smartest character ever, though he has a good heart and he's always willing to push himself when it comes to fighting. Goku isn't exactly someone who one would consider savage, but that doesn't mean he hasn't had his moments. As the character has tried to defend those he cares about and get stronger, he's done some pretty crazy things. In this video, we've compiled a list of Goku's fifteen most savage moments in the Dragon Ball franchise.

We're starting off with the most literal example of Goku going savage, which is his first great ape transformation. Although Goku is normally a kind, gentle and pure hearted kid, he's an absolute savage when he turns into a great ape. He does this both when destroying Pilaf's Castle and fighting Jackie Chun. Goku hasn't really accessed the form in a very long time, but there's no denying he's an absolute savage when he does.

This definitely isn't the only savage act in the original Dragon Ball and the other shows. Check out the video below for more of Goku's most savage moments.

Although Dragon Ball: Super has already finished its run in Japan, dub-watching fans are still in the process of seeing what the popular franchise still holds. Super Dragon Ball Heroes is helping tide fans over in the short-term, but it's unknown at this time just when the series will return with new episodes. Still, characters are likely to keep changing as the series progresses and as we find out what happens next.
