    13 Goku Quotes

    Dragon Ball

    Goku is the Saiyan raised on Earth who grows from a wild-haired boy into the strongest fighter in the Dragon Ball universe. He is plain-spoken and rarely showy, so his lines land when they carry his simple code: protect people, never quit, and give even an enemy a fair fight. Below are his real quotes, mostly from the Funimation English dub that most English-speaking fans grew up on, each with the saga and scene it comes from.

    “I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!”
    Frieza Saga; transforming into a Super Saiyan for the first time on Namek, facing FriezaFunimation dub only. The original Japanese line is much shorter and does not include this speech.
    “Goodbye, Vegeta. You're not as cold-hearted as you believed yourself to be. A heart of stone can't shed tears like you did. You must have been holding them back your whole life.”
    Frieza Saga; Goku's farewell as Vegeta dies on NamekFunimation dub wording.
    “I'd rather be a brainless beast than a heartless monster, like you.”
    Frieza Saga; answering Frieza's taunts about Saiyans on NamekDub wording; some sources quote it as "brainless monkey."
    “I don't understand why you call Saiyans by such mindless names. The only thing it does is reveal your own fear and ignorance.”
    Frieza Saga; confronting Frieza on Namek
    “I guess name-calling is your only attack, because you're too weak to challenge me any other way.”
    Frieza Saga; taunting Frieza on NamekFunimation dub, Episode 104.

    Goku quotes: FAQ

    What is Goku's most famous quote?
    "I am the hope of the universe... Ally to good! Nightmare to you!" Goku says it in the Frieza Saga as he turns Super Saiyan for the first time on Namek. It is famous partly because the Funimation English dub wrote this whole speech; the original Japanese version is much shorter.
    Are these the English dub or the Japanese versions?
    Most are the Funimation English dub, since that is the wording most English-speaking fans know. Where a line is dub-only or differs a lot from the Japanese version, it is flagged in that quote's note.
    What does Goku say when he goes Super Saiyan 3?
    "And this... is to go... even further beyond!" He says it during the Buu Saga as he powers up to Super Saiyan 3 in front of Majin Buu. It became one of the dub's most-quoted lines.
    Did Goku really say "I'd rather be a brainless beast than a heartless monster"?
    Yes. He says it to Frieza during the Frieza Saga on Namek, rejecting the idea that being a Saiyan makes him a mindless killer. Some sources quote it with "monkey" instead of "beast," but the meaning is the same.
