Goku Famous Quotes In Dragon Ball Anime

Goku is a brilliant person who was first sent to the Earth to destroy it. But due to some head injury, he lost his memory. His memory loss was a miracle, and he became a strong protector and defender of Earth. Instead of following his destructive nature, his destiny changed as well as his outlook of life.

Due to the surprising incident, Goku’s life mission changed, and he became the sole reason to save the Universe from destruction.

Here are some famous quotes by Goku that you will find very motivating and purposeful because he was a wise and powerful character in the Dragon Ball Z anime series. And he taught us many life lessons through his actions and words. 

1. “Power comes in response to a need, not a desire.”

Goku here tells us that power is not something you get because you want it. You will only feel powerful when you need it the most: the need to change the world and stand for the right things. 

2. “I am the hope of the Universe…I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace…I am the protector of the innocent…I am the light in the darkness…I am the truth. Ally to good…Nightmare to you!”

3. “Even a low-class warrior can surpass an elite. With enough hard work.”

Hard work can make anyone strong enough to become a hero, and it is a strong message delivered by Goku. Only practice and enthusiasm can take you from being mediocre to the top of the field. 

4. “Keep training and get stronger. I’ll always be one step ahead of you, though!”

Training and practice with enthusiasm will only ensure your victory. Goku believes in hard work, and he didn’t use to shy from hard work. We find everything hard, but Goku used to love hard work because he knew that hard work always pays in the end. 

5. “You talk tough, but you’re nothing but a pushover.”

Goku motivated us and gave us the push we needed to stand up against bullying. He hates people who bully innocent and weak.  Goku couldn’t stand such bad behavior, so he used to stand up against it.

Goku is a powerful and level-headed character who is not afraid to face his enemies. He will do anything to safeguard his friend and family. Fighting is his passion, and he won’t hesitate to answer any challenge from his competitor.

7. “Don’t get ahead of yourself; you haven’t beaten us yet.”

Goku is a master of martial arts, and he trains with passion and works hard to be better and better. He is determined to win the fight against his enemies for the defense of the Universe. Goku will never let his enemy defeat him because he is fighting for the well-being of this world. His determination shows us his spirit to reach his ultimate goal.

9. “I would rather be a brainless monkey than a heartless monster.”

We know that Goku’s character is based on The Monkey King. As an infant, he had a tail just like a monkey. That is why he said that he doesn’t mind being an idiot or stupid monkey, but he won’t do anything evil that will hurt humanity. He is kind and caring, and he stands up to the well-being of his loved ones. This quote gave us an important message that humanity is fundamental.

10. “I am going to be a lot stronger than I ever was!” –

Goku believes in moving forward to be better and stronger. Every day we have the opportunity to increase our knowledge and strength. We shouldn’t miss a single chance to add to our power. Suffering and hardships make a human being stronger with time, and then we don’t repeat the same mistake twice. Instead, we learn from our errors.

11. “You seem to delight in seeing other people suffer. And you treat life like a disposable commodity. You destroy homes. You take the lives of innocent, peace-loving people. You even take the lives of children. And all of this, for your own amusement or personal gain. Well, now it’s your turn.”

Goku was firmly against hurting the innocent, and he hated and fought against such people. He hates to see innocents suffering just because of someone’s mean reasons. Goku stood up for the weak and wouldn’t let bad people enjoy hurting others. 

12. “You see, when you take life, you live deep in fear that your life will be taken away as well. When you harm others, you’re only just harming yourself.”

You must have heard that pronoun ‘when you dig a grave for someone,  you dig a grave for yourself too.’ It means if you hurt someone or have bad intentions towards others, you will be treated the same way by fate. It is such an essential lesson in this cruel world, and Goku delivered this message perfectly.

13. “Show them what a Saiyan is made of!”

He is motivating his fellow Saiyan to show their enemies the true power of Saiyan.

14. “Sometimes life is too uncertain to have regrets.”

Life is short, and you should not waste it by having guilt about something. We should not be hard on ourselves and others; instead, we need to learn to let things go. We should try to forgive and forget because it is the only way to have a peaceful and satisfactory life.

15. “I am looking at things from a much higher perspective than you. I observe this world, this Universe, the truth of all things. And I have realized that humans must be destroyed…Out of all which the gods have made, mortals are their sole failure. In order to make this world, this Universe, into a beautiful utopia, I must remove humanity, in place of the gods who refuse to admit their mistake.”

16. “I don’t understand why you call Saiyans by such mindless names. The only thing it does is reveal your own fear and ignorance. I guess name-calling is your only attack because you’re too weak to challenge me any other way.”

17. “Nappa: I’m the second strongest Saiyan from the Planet Vegeta!

Goku: Well, if your friend is stronger than you, I guess you’re the third strongest Saiyan now.”

18.  “Low-ranker, elite, whatever. You can beat anyone; it’s called hard work!” –

19. “This guy’s a cut above the rest. He’s not gonna go down easy.”

20. ” Vegeta knows it too. Through my dreams, I could hear him speaking what I had also felt. That there is a level beyond that of a Super Saiyan. And I will rise to claim it.”

21. “I could go one step farther If I wanted to.”

22. “Your new form is burning through more power than your body can supply. You should have waited until you were used to this form and knew how to regulate it before you started picking fights.”

23. “Goku: It’s done!

Frieza: What do you mean? You said it’s done; what do you mean?

Goku: Your energy level is decreasing with every blow. In fact, you’re not even a challenge to me anymore. It wouldn’t be fair for me to keep fighting you. I’m satisfied now. Your pride has been torn to shreds. You’ve challenged and lost to a fighter who is superior to you, and to make it worse… he’s just a monkey…right?” It would be meaningless to fight you now; you’re too scared and ashamed. Live with the shock. Keep it bottled up inside you. Silently. Goodbye, Frieza, never make mischief again. May you live the rest of your life in peace.”

24. “With my newfound power, I can beat anyone!”

25. ” Goodbye, Vegeta. You’re not as cold-hearted as you believed yourself to be. A heart of stone can’t shed tears as you did. You must have been holding them back your whole life. I’m the only one left. I think I understand you now. You weren’t grieving over your own death or because our home planet was destroyed. You were grieving because he turned you into what he wanted you to be. You never had a chance to be anything else. Well, I still respect you. I know you made a lot of mistakes, but now I see that it wasn’t all your fault. You had the fiery will of a Saiyan. Please share that with me now, because I need it. Thank you for saving my son’s life and buying enough time for me to recuperate. I’ll do my best to carry out your wish. (to Frieza) It’s true—Vegeta’s right. You have no honor. For him. And for everyone else you’ve destroyed, I am going to finish you.”

26. “Buu, I’m a man of courtesy, as well as strength, and I have to say, I’ve battled beings from beyond nameless galaxies, and you by far are the best.”

28.  “Kaio-ken holds no limits to the amount of power that can be stored.”

29. “You must be Frieza, the one responsible for the horrible chain of events that have taken place on this planet. Whatever problems you have with Vegeta, you can take them up with me now.”

30. “I’ve spent months preparing for the day I’d face you in your final form. I’ve come a long way, Cell.”

31. “If I win, promise you won’t destroy the earth.”

32. “Look, Cell’s kind of worn out right now. It just wouldn’t be fair if Gohan beats him when he isn’t at his best, you know.”

33. “Maybe you’ll come back someday as…as a better person, I hope. I’d like that. Perhaps we’ll have a little one on one.”

34. “I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am the protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am the truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you.”

35. “Show me what you can do.”

36. “Let’s give it everything we’ve got!”

37. ” Hey, don’t get ahead of yourself. You haven’t beaten us yet.”
