Everyone knows Goku. He's been around for a very long time and he is the character that most haters refer to when they're trying to make fun of us anime or cartoon-loving grown-ups. But the significance of Goku is that 𝓡he is known for his strength and powerও. Even if you've only seen a few episodes including Goku, you can recognize that he's not someone easily defeated.

Any characters who have defeated G🎉oku are either unfairly matched against him or a victim of bad writing. Goku always needed someone to fight him for the show to be interesting, so instead of weakening Goku, they just made his enemies stronger and stronger and Goku had to keep growing in power until he became the center of a worldwide debate of power. It's pretty epic to have a discussion involving who the most powerful created character is.

Goku is always involved in the conversation and often so is Superman. Anyone who disagrees with that has clearly never seen any episodes involving the two alien characters. We can only hope that these lists invཧolving a battle between Goku and many other characters not native to his world help settle the debate. So sit back and take a gander at these worthy opponents, evenღ if some of them seem absolutely outclassed by everyone's favorite Saiyan.

30 Smash: The O💃ne Punch Man ꦏ

Saitama is a pretty powerful dude. He's fought enemies of every siz𒈔e and shape simply just for fun and not one of them could stand up to even his average punch. Saitama was created for this reason alone and he ended up jumping into a🍸lmost every debate of who the strongest character in anime, video games, or comics is.

Saitama punches people so hard that they explode, and the guy who he fights at the end of the series only su🐻rvives the first punch because he's wearing armor and Saitama didn't even try that hard. But when 💝Saitama winds up and punches dudes for real, it's all over.

Goku and Saitama would fight because of two reasons.

Either there was a misunderstanding and they thought each other to be bad guys or enemies of their respective planets, or the other reason would be for fun. Goku would love to fight Saitama for fun. The only problem is that Saitaꦺma might be too powerful and punch Goku too hard in practice. But we don't know where their power levels are and if they are even.

29 M♒ay﷽be: Kenshiro Kasumi

Kenshiro was once ranked on the list of strongest anime characters as the third most powerful of them all. Goku was the one who had first place. As being part of a group of people that have watched every single episode of the show featuring Kenshiro, we know a few things about his powers. Most of all, he's one of the fastest guys out there, often hitting his enemies and them 🎶not even knowing about them being hit. Then they explode because of how specific Kenshiro's mar🌺tial art is.

It's called Hokuto No Ken and basically, the user can hit pressure points in your body where they will reverse the blood flow in a way that makes vessels explode. This is not really realistic, but it has to be possible. It's anime after all. Butജ the real strength of Hokuto No Ken is that Kenshiro cജan master the technique of any martial art after he's witnessed it. So that would mean the Goku would be giving Kenshiro all of his tactics and techniques to use back against him. But that would have to mean that Kenshiro survives the attack by Goku to master it. But maybe even if he did survive the attack, Goku can't really lose to his own techniques can he?

28 Smash: Bruce Lee ꦍ

So♏ Bruce Lee is most likely in the afterlife fighting celestial beasts and w𝔍hatnot to defend Earth. We can all agree on that. It's probably why he was taken from the planet so early in his life as he had much more to accomplish and do. But to defend the planet and universe from external threats, it would make sense that he was plucked in the prime of his life to become an immortal defender.

Bruce Lee would have been given all the♛ powers he deserves when he ascended, and that is the warrior we think could crush Goku. Think about it, Bruce Lee would have done pretty well against Goku in real life. Unless you're saying that Krillin would wax Bruce Lee in a fight any da꧋y of the week. We don't think that's the case at all. If Bruce Lee had lived in the world that Goku did, don't you think he would have sought out entities like Goku and the martial arts tournament to test his skills?

We all know Bruce Lee would have shown up and fought and had a grand old ti🌼me.

And wh🎐en he became an angel after he perished, he had nonstop time to train and become a serious heavenly hero. Angel Bruce Lee.

27 Maybe: Raoh 🐓

Raoh is Kenshiro's older Adoptive brother. If you're trying to figure out the pronunciation of that guy's name, it rhymes with Ow. Like when you get hurt. Raoh is the most powerful character in the show and he only loses to Kenshiro when he allows it to happen. So it would make sense that Raoh is to be treated in the same realm as Kenshiro, and since Kenshiro has made the list, this seemed like a great teachable moment regardin𝓡g our friend Raoh.

Roah is a pretty bad dude and does some awful stuff to maintain his rule over the normal people.

He's totally taking advantage of the world ending and using his martial arts to intimidate others. We think Goku would see Raoh as a true villain and wreck him f💝or being such a dirty evil man. Goku would know that if Raoh is not taken seriously he might get something in the way of a strike on Goku. And based on how powerful the strikes of ꦦthose who know Hokuto No Ken are, he might even mortally wound Goku.

26 ꦛ Smas༒h: Whis/Vados

So these two are pretty powerful in the show Dragon Ball Super. Whis shows up with Beerus the God of Destruction and messes a🍌 whole bunch of stuff up. Turns out later on that Whis is actually Beerus's teacher and can knock him out with a blow to the back of the head. After showing how Beerus trolls Vegeta and Goku in their first fights, you realize that Whis is not just some random lady-boy.

Whis and his older🔥 sister Vados are both the attendants of their respective universe's God of Destruction.

Vados lives alongside and deals with Champa, who happens to be Beerus's brother, so it would make sense that to keep a guy like that in check and also assist him in his daily needs, Vados would have to be pretty powerful. So these two have been shown in Dragon Ball Super to be above Goku's level. But the thing is, Goku can't really achieve his most powerful form all of the time. He has to build up to it. If Vados and Whis are always chilling at that hefty power level, they might be able to sneak-attack destroy Goku🍌. That's what we're getting at.

25 ꦇ 🧸 Maybe: Thor

Thor is a powerful member of the Avengers👍. He's definitely the one who has increa♛sed the most in power since he started out in the movies when he was chilling with Natalie Portman. That was when Thor lost all of his powers pretty much. Then he had to get his hammer back only for it to be destroyed by his sister a few movies later. A sister he had no idea existed for the longest time. But even after she destroyed his hammer, he became way stronger when he realized that he didn't need his hammer to be powerful.

It was actually the best thing that ever happꦛened to Thor.

Because in the movies he ended up nearly destroying Thanos all by himself. Once Thor gets to his full power, no one is going to be able to deal with him and he might even be able to mess with Goku. He definitely won't get wrecked by Goku in an instant. Thor is way too powerful and might even be on the same level as Beerus or Champa. He is this God of Thunder, and thunder and storms only🤡 get way more powerfu𓄧l in space. Just look at Jupiter.

24 Smash: Lelouch ✱ ♐

So Lelouch isn't much of a fighter but what he lacks in any physical prowess he makes up for in cunning intelligence. The problem with him meeting Goku would be that Lelouch would most likely instantly realize Goku'ss potential as an ally or fighter. He would get him under his control and Goku would be more than happy to obey Lelouch. Now, that might only lastඣ for a few days or weeks, but if he orders Goku to obey his every command, then it would only take Lelouch a few days to conquer the planet. Nothing on Earth, even mechs, could stand up to Goku. And with Lelouch's tactics and master strategy, Goku would be placed in the thickest of battles.

Goku would lay waste to the planet and Lelouch's enemy under Lelouch's command.

Then he could simply have Goku executed before Lelouch lost control over him. It'd be a pretty sad situation, but Goku would just go hang out in the afওterlife to train forever anyway. This could all be for nothing if Lelouch's powers only work against human beings. If it's assumed that a different DNA setup would change the reaction to the powers of Lelouch, Goku might not even be phased. He'd probably just leave Lelouch alone, powerless.

23 🌟 Maybe: Kratos ෴

Kratos is one of those characters that used to be a lot different, but after his Norse reboot, everyone is talking about how tough this guy is. And they're right. Kratos has become the God-slaying anti-hero we always wanted. And now that he's got his god powers and he's traveling to different realms where different Gods exist, he's only getting more and more powerful. His list of enemies defeated is getting more and more impressive with the🃏 names of Gods being scribbled on it.

Who knows how Kratos wo𒈔uld stand up to Odin and Thor, we have to wait and see what the next few games bring us.

Chances are these versions of Thor and Odin are just as powerful as their Marvel versions of themselves. If so then Kratos deserves to be in every conversation. Kratos is also the benefit of bein🌌g a playable character that the gamer can cheat. Cheating is a lot of fun in video games because it allows you to do what you can't in real life. Live forever or for however long needed. We just pretty much wish we could be Kratos, he's got such an awesome beard.

22 S🔜mash: Chi-Chi ꦫ

The reason Chi-Chi is on this list because Goku could n🔯ever hurt Chi-Chi. We have to believe that true love exists so that if Chi-Chi ever turned Evil, Goku would have no reason to live. In fact, he'd probably join Chi-Chi due to the amount of love they share. Goku would pretty much do whatever Chi-Chi says if she yells at him loud enough. And most of all, he'd destroy anyone who ever harmed Chi-Chi. So there's no way he'd be able to crush Chi-Chi and not end his life afterward.

Chi-Chi also happens to be a top martial artist.

Possibly the most powerful female human in the world. Unless there is someone e𝐆lse who is tougher than her, she's trained with dudes who literally are as powerful as Gods. And she's fearless. She'll 🐼walk right up to the God of the Universe and scream at him if he is getting in the way of Goku doing stuff with his children. Not sure how Chi-Chi truly feels about Goku but she definitely wants him to be a better dad rather than go around the universe fighting people and bringing the kids along.

21 Maybe: R🌳yu

So maybe mortals shouldn'♏t be on this list because Goku is just leagues more powerful then they are. But Goku would enjoy fighting Ryu because they are both dedicated to a life of martial arts. So at the very least, they'd have a good time-fighting. But if you were to somehow put them on equal footing as far as power goes, then what would happen?

In any normal circumstance, Ryu would get wrecked by an enraged Goku, and once Ryu shotಞ his Haduken at Goku, he'd have no choice but to laugh and send him to the beyond with a Kamehameha. But if for some reason Goku fought on the same level as Ryu as a way to test their martial arts ability and not so much the power that they have, it could be a good fight.

The question comes down to who the better martial artist of the two is, not who is more powerful. Because that's a no-brainer. But Ryu might have an actual chance if they both fough☂t in their base human forms. But who knows if Goku would ever even go for something lik꧂e that. He's too busy saving the world.
