Goku´s training

I think it could be good idea to put and explain shortly the training evolution that goku has, like for example with Muten Roshi, delivering milk crosing a waterfall, six bottles in 6 kilometers, plowing a land farm with the hands, swimming with sharks, etc, until the last training by himself when he is boxing with 2 tons rock in his arms and legs, and as Supersaiyan West Kaio change it to 10 tons each. This is only a suggestion. 88.149.103.132 19:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

This could be an article too. The training that Goku did: - With master Roshi: Goku carry a box of Milk in 6 km., running, crossing close to a waterfall, crossing a canon, escaping dinosaurs, the last Km. is going upstairs a montain. Second training was plowing a land with the hands until breakfast, then was learning math, language and general culture; then eat lunch and take a nap. Then construction work, then swimming 10 laps with sharks, and finally tie to a tree with a rope and dodge bees all this using a 20 kilos turtle shell.

-The second training with master Karin, climbing the Karin´s tower twice, learning to read and anticipate the movements in his attemp to drink the "sacred water" that was just plain water.

-The third Training after the fight with his granpa Gohan, Roshi send him to train by himself, he perfect his techniques, and eliminate his weakness by training his tail.

-after defeat King Piccolo, training with Kami and Mister Popo, learning how to sense Ki, not using his eyes and ears, but sensing and using instinct, training his lungs, cause oxigen in Kamis palace was thin due the altitude and training his strenght with a 20 kilos boots, 20 kilos wrist and 20 kilos t shirt.

-With north kaio learning the kaioken and the spirit bomb, dominating his speed and streng with the heavy clothes 100kilos in 10 g x earth g, his body weight in 10 g is aprox. 600 to 700 kilos + the heavy clothes 1 ton more.

-Training by himself in 100 g, with dumbells his body weigth is 6 to 7 tons.

-training unknow in planet yardrat, perfecting Supersaiyan form and learning instant transmision.

-training: sparring with Piccolo and Gohan.

-Training in the room of spirit and time, 40 g, temperature 40 degres celsius in day and - 40 in nigth, learning to control his supersaiyan strenght as same that his base form.

-Training as dead unknow, fighting the strongest dead fighters, learning the fusion technique, only eating and training. he could kick and punch fast with 10 tons in his whole body at his normal base and 40 tons as supersaiyan 1.

-Training 10 years after defeat majinn Buu, unknow.

-Training: Teaching and sparring with Ubb.this is the last training in DBZ. 157.157.89.71 11:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

This is what made the difference between Goku and others superheroes.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pegasusriusenken (talk • contribs)

I don't think that's a good idea. Large lists won't improve this article--$UIT 17:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree with SUIT, but is good information, make me remember why i like Dragonball Ykkifenix 20:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I also agree with SUIT, large lists and long explanations is what made this article so confusing to read and bungled in the first place. All of us have worked so hard to get this article to the point of being as short as it is, and with a character like Goku, just cutting it this short is a task all itself.--Majinvegeta 05:15, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Goku´s age

I believe that Goku meets Bulma when he is 11, then train with Muten Roshi 8 months, and fights the first tournament at 12. Ykkifenix 23:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Good observation, but there's no evidence for that theory. --Majinvegeta 05:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, there is: He clearly states that he is twelve years old at the tournament when asked about his age. –71.244.215.137 01:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but we don't know how long the training was. He may have been 12 since the beginning--$UIT 02:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

All Techniques needed?

I was just wondering if this extended list of Techniques is actually needed. I mean, it's important to mention the Kamehameha and the Instant Movement, but are techniques like Flying really neccisary? I'm just thinking, and I don't really see the minor, common techniques as important. Perhaps Kamehameha, Instant Movement, Kaio Ken, Rock Scissors Paper, and Genkai Dama are all that this article needs. Suggestions? --Majinvegeta 05:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

To me is more neccesary the techniques list than the games list, i dont see that other superheroes have like goku a game list, i suggest we put it in the dragonball article because is not only goku that apear in the games, is all the characters, or make it one link to a another article with the game list explain a litle better like what years they come out, some secrets or tips and a short explanation. Ykkifenix 08:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep it just because everyone can fly doesn't mean its not notable. DBZROCKS 22:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

quick question

What does the scouter say about his power level?

Sigh.. it's over 9000. Now discuss the article please--$UIT 19:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually its over 8000 :p

The new image

Okay, he has wings in this one. How come we never have a "normal" image? One where he isn't dead or have wings?--$UIT 18:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Discussion continued on WP:DBZ. ~I'm anonymous

Move to Goku.

Naming conventions say to use the most common official English name. On top of that, "Dragon Ball" Goku -Son gets more hits than "Dragon Ball" "Son Goku", roughly 900,000. Being closer to the original title certainly does not make it the right title for English readers. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

No, because the names are not exclusive to the Funimation spellings. There is the Harmony Gold spelling and the Ocean spelling, therefore, many ages ago, it was decided to use the Japanese names, because those are the original and can't be disputed with. The same thing has been proposed on the Freeza Saga article, I assume you picked this discussion up from there? --MajinVegeta 09:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
