Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball has dozens of compelling characters in its core cast, but it’s always hard for the series to get some distance from Goku. Goku has been Dragon Ball’s guiding light for more than three decades, and the franchise continues to largely position him as the central protagonist. Goku’s strength is rarely in question, but there’s a certain juvenile innocence that the character has retained that’s led some to believe that he hasn’t grown much and truly changed.Goku’s physical developments are obvious as he matures from child to adult, but this growth runs much deeper than that when the totality of his character is considered. Dragon Ball has some very clean-cut character overhauls where villains, like Piccolo and Vegeta, become heroes. However, Goku is quietly Dragon Ball’s most nuanced and developed character and his adventures continue to entertain.Life and death are incredibly fluid in Dragon Ball, and the majority of the show’s cast have perished on at least one occasion. The Dragon Balls’ restorative powers have made death only a temporary inconvenience for most, and even then, it’s likely that they’ll leave the afterlife even stronger than before. Plenty of characters have been resurrected, grateful for the second chance but not very different in demeanor. The closest example is Vegeta, following his death against Buu, but it’s incremental in comparison to Goku’s epiphany.RELATED: How Goku Came To Terms With His Saiyan Heritage In Dragon Ball ZRELATED: Dragon Ball Super: Have Goku And Vegeta Really Reached Their Limit?
