Death Battle: Son Goku vs Superman


Heroes on each of their own franchises, Son Goku of the hit Dragon Ball manga, and Superman of the hit DC Comics of the same name, have always been a topic between debates on who is much more powerful than the other. And the time has come, thanks to Screw Attack!

DEATH BATTLE: SON GOKU vs SUPERMAN:


The video features a low down on each of the characters, strengths, abilities, and weaknesses. It is also accompanied by an awesome 3D animation depicting the battle between the two.

Do you agree with the results?

    Superman multiple storyline helped him win this battle~ wait till Akira Toriyama continue the DB arc and make the storyline as insane as Superman~

    By the way... Goku doesn't need to be fast... HE CAN TELEPORT TROUGH THE UNIVERSE!!! From one planet to another, between galaxies, whereenver you want!!

    Also, if Superman is so powerful why he keeps getting beated every comic magazine??? If he has the strenght to move planets, hes punch would BLOW UP, EXPLODE EVERYONE ON DC UNIVERSE, maybe except for Darkside, General Zod and maybe Captain Marvel (Shazam)!!!

    Finally, take Superman to a point in space with no sun or big burning star and he will the crap! Oh! Not to mention kryptonite!

    Man, even Batman with a mechanic/eletronic boosted armor beated the crap out of Superman because of his fighting skills on Frank Miller's Dark Knight!!! (ok, I know Superman wasn't making effort to win, but yet...)

    Superman powers are way too exaggereted and there is no coherence since they can change from time to time, story to story, many writers forgets or just intendly change the limits of Superman habilities...

    There is no way of accepting a man in tigh clothes and high contrast wearing the underwear OVER the pants beating a martial artist pro on kimono (however it's also high contrast, at least it's a little more subtle...)

    And let's not talk about personality... Superman gotta be most boring and annoying guy EVER!! He is just plain and so lawfull good and portraited like a perfect being... BOOOORING! Batamna, Wolverine, Flash, Goku, Vegeta nad pretty much EVERYONE IN FICCTION is more fun and interesting than him!

    But, well, whatever... even though I just bitched about this fight and defended Goku like a Dragon Ball fag, I will just let it go and keep enjoying the best of both worlds... I'm looking foward for Super's new movie, also DBZ animation movie, and I keep watching for good games and any other good products with the heroes we grown up seeing saving the world!

    Coz after all, both of them are great! (even Goku and Batman being nicer than Clark... ok...I will stop... XD)

    Man th emoment I saw the fight I thought: ''there will be a lot of crying babies saying that Superman winnig is woring and bla, bla, bla.'' But Superman's victory is very plausible, one only justification for this to be right is Superman's fight against Darkside on Justice League, Darkside is much more powerful than Goku fused with Vegeta on Gogeta SS4!!! And how they said Goku were never invensible. So haters, stop crying, I prefer Goku than Superman, but Superman winnig is right, stop talking.

    if there's one thing hollywood ever been good at, that is exaggeration. and superman is like the biggest balloon they have ever created, with that invincible powers, there's like no plot that can sustain the development of superman story, and that is why, personally, i grew tired of watching superman.
    perhaps, that is why, now, movie makers are having trouble making a decent superman movie that have interesting plot. it's like "hey,wannna watch superman beat the sense out of some random alien that just so happen to come to earth and decide to destroy it" and you're like "nah, too predictable, superman will win, figures. punch here and punch there and the boyscout wins"

    Unlike the creator of Superman, Akira Toriyama actually made Goku closer to a human than an alien. I mean, Superman is a Kryptonian, who're the most invincible race of the DC Universe. Goku is a saiyan, which is quite close to the human race. Superman is just a boring hero who's freaking invincible except that a rock could kill him, which is hard to find. Goku has his limits in what he can and can't do. In terms of fighting, I think Goku has it down. He trained in martial arts for years and who can forget his ki moves like Kamehameha, Spirit Bomb, and Dragon Fist? Superman has the sun's powers? Oh big whoop! I'm sure a Spirit Bomb could get as big as the sun, since it was nearly as big as Kai's world. In storywise, Goku would also be better. Superman has been invincible, but he was beaten by machines (Batman), Doomsday and Darksied. Have we ever seen Goku lose to any of the main villains? No, I think not...

    this makes me remember of some theory i've seen spread on internet
    *don't take it too seriously though*

    "Goku>Superman
    Raditz scanned Earth and found the average power level of humanity was 5.
    Superman states he can lift around 100 tons.
    Average human male can lift 40% of his bodyweight max (over his head whilst standing)
    Average male weighs 80kg, 40% of 80kg is 32kg.
    100,000kg divided by 32 = 3125. Superman can lift 3125x more than an average male. Thus has the strength of 3125 men.
    If average power level is 5 then 3125 x 5 means Superman has a power level of 15,625.
    Goku had a power level of roughly 10,000 normal when fighting Vegeta the first time, but raised it to 20,000 with Kaio-Kenx2 and 40,000 with Kaio-Kenx4.
    So both Vegeta and Goku are stronger than Superman in the very first season of Dragonball Z,
    thus ending the great Goku vs Superman debate. "

    also, yes, goku need oxygen and can't breath on space,superman can just bring him to space and defeat him, but remember, i'm sure average people can hold their breath about 30-60 seconds, and goku might hold his breath more than that, while he hold his breath, he can just concentrate and warp back to earth,,,

    LOL, Goku will just respawn over and over again.


  9. 2 things one wouldve been better if they had to team up in the end and fight a gero-brainiac android

    and 2 DRAGONBALLS!
    therefore goku is not dead lol
    since the namekean dbs can bring someone back numerous times


  10. cainkirisgai Says:

    few things one i agree with anon about gogeta ss4

    2 wouldve been awesome to see them team up at the end to fight a brainiac-gero android

    3 revive goku with the dragon balls again lol


  11. Anonymous Says:

    stupid !goku actually could defeat superman without using kaioken cuz i think his normal form reached 20,000 power at the end of dbz


  12. @Matt Dunston- One slight problem:
    Rule of Death Battle: No help from others. That would include Porunga.


  13. Anonymous Says:

    The difference between Supes and Goku is that superhero comics are spanned through multiverses while DragonBall only has one canon universe. Not only that in all Superman Universes hes an immigrant from another world trying to find his place on Earth while Goku is made as humanly as possible.

    Did anyone else notice they got Team Four Star to do the DBZ character voices?

    NAAAAAAIIIIILLLLLL!

    What is it guru?

    Our friends on Earth have destroyed their own planet..............again. Gather the dragonballs.

    Sir, I'm fused with picollo and you're dead. How are we even having this conversation.

    The Earth was destroyed, therefore Piccolo was destroyed.....WHY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE HERRRRRRRRREEEE?

    btw for Dragonball fans there are two outs you can use if you're unhappy with results (personally, i just enjoy it from entertainment standpoint and results didnt matter. i enjoy both franchises).

    1) They point out Goku wouldn't know Superman's weakness to a red star. However, goku figured out he was drawing energy from the sun near the climax. He could've grabbed superman, used Instant Transmission to get him to the Lookout's Hyperbolic time chamber. Once inside the chamber he'd be cut out from natural sunlight. then it'd be just about surviving long enough for Superman to weaken.

    2) They said this fight would be between the two using all the weapons and resources. That's why they included the Powerpole despite never being used in DBZ OR DBGT. Technically, Vegeta can be considered a resource if he's used strictly for Fusion purposes.

    SS4 Gogeta would still be statistically less powerful than Superman using their own formulas, but that is BEFORE you take into account the Fusion Power increase. It was stated multiple times in the show that a Fused warrior not only doubles the power of two warriors individually, but also whether using the technique or the earrings creates a power increase of its own that is hard to measure. A fused trunks and goten is enough to defeat regular buu in super saiyan form despite both of them fighting together not having a chance. same thing in DBGT, Goku and vegeta admitting that fighting together in SS4 forms wouldn't do any good vs Omega Shenron, but SS4 Gogeta was able to handle him without effort and would've destroyed him if not for Goku's young body.

    So there's you're out. Since SS4 Gogeta is immeasurable it is feasile he's stronger than Superman

    I bet if American comic book geeks were here they'll say how Superman won the fight fair and square and that Goku had no chance.

    ....seriously guys, stop crying about fan boy crap and stuff. These guys did their research, the math, choose what to use and what not to use, and the final line was Superman won. Get over it.


    Its the same formula that Deadliest Warrior season 1 used in their shows. I don't see any of you crying about how the ninja lost against the spartan.

    Here is mt Teory, yes my gf helped me (criticizing the video because goku doesnt want to fight while putting in danger normal citizens and he wants to save the earth more then everything) , so here it comes ,

    Goku is a problem solver, so he always finds a way to overcome is obstacules , he is really persistant on this ,

    Superman might win the first round with flying colours,

    but there is something Goku can do in the second round

    he comes back in is spirit form , in his form he doesnt need air
    so he is pretty ok in space,
    he does a beautiful 1 sec grip on superman and transports him out of the galaxy and bye bye superman ...

    The end

    im a fan of both characters,
    but i do agree on this teory because he did it on the tv series ... against cell

    ^^ have fun boy´s and girl´s

    Superman is also a problem solver, it also doesn't help that he's a super genius, who battles his opponents again and again each time overcoming newer and more dangerous ways to kill him or the world.

    problem with that one is that Superman can fly between galaxies within seconds, so it doesn't really matter. The only thing that plan'll accomplish is teleporting the fight to a different location.

    and one thing people always ignore when they talk about Goku dieing is that he has NEVER or CAN'T come back without any of the kai's permission while dead and he can't be wished back by the Earth Dragon Balls a second time.


  22. Anonymous Says:

    To the commenter above , Goku as always the kai´s permission because he is the Earth´s Savior , and in the the comment above yours, nobody wrote about bringing goku back from the dead a second time ... so your flame war is pretty pointless on that topic and goku doesnt need to fly between galaxys he can teleport.

    Superman needs the sun or a star to power himself , without one he is powerless he cant do nothing in the emptyness of space.

    Superman started super , Goku started as the lowest of the lowest of the sayans and climed is way to the top .

    And if someone wants to speculate goku didnt trained all is life , because he had a family in the story, imagen if he didnt ...

    And just one last thought, superman had loads of writers that remade superman many times over , goku didnt, ...

    lets just wait for Goku battle of the Gods .
