Goku: The Pinnacle of Power in Dragon Ball Super
The Saiyan warrior, Goku, stands as the unparalleled powerhouse of Dragon Ball Super. His transformation into Super Saiyan Blue not only shatters previous limits but also introduces a formidable strength previously unseen in Dragon Ball history. Recently, the fan community has been abuzz with new artwork that captures the pivotal moment when Goku combined the immense power of Kaioken with his Super Saiyan Blue form, showcasing his ability to surpass his own boundaries.
A Fresh Artistic Perspective
An innovative interpretation of a classic Dragon Ball Super scene was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the talented artist Kakeru (@DBSKAKERU1). Known for frequently posting Dragon Ball-inspired art, Kakeru mixes iconic moments from the series with original creations, captivating fans with his unique style. His portfolio includes stunning portrayals such as Super Saiyan 3 Goku preparing a Dragon Fist, Broly in Super Saiyan Blue, and battles like Orange Piccolo versus Perfect Cell Max. His latest contribution—a depiction of Goku in his Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken times ten form—truly captures the essence of the character’s power.

Goku unlocked this extraordinary power during Episode 39 of Dragon Ball Super, in the intense Universe 6 vs. Universe 7 battle against the time-manipulating Hit. Faced with a formidable opponent who outmatched him in speed and technique, Goku made a daring move. By combining ten levels of Kaioken with his Super Saiyan Blue form, he risked severe damage to his body for a chance to win.
Kakeru’s artwork offers a unique visual interpretation of this transformation. He illustrates Goku channeling vibrant red energy into his left leg, forcefully stomping the ground, creating fissures with its impact. The rest of Goku’s form radiates a blue aura, and his confident smirk is accentuated by lighter color tones, paying tribute to Toyotarou’s current art style in Dragon Ball Super. With added crackling and smoke effects, Kakeru’s design vividly captures the immense power Goku wields, making it a must-see for fans.
Pushing Beyond Limits: Goku’s Evolution
Goku has employed this Super Saiyan Blue and Kaioken combination in several instances throughout Dragon Ball Super. Notably, he used Kaioken times twenty against Jiren during the Tournament of Power. Yet, whether this approach can be adapted to Goku’s god-like Ultra Instinct remains uncertain. The chaotic nature of Kaioken might conflict with the intuitive flow of Ultra Instinct. However, given Kakeru’s talent for crafting imaginative “What If?” scenarios in Dragon Ball Super art, fans might soon witness this intriguing fusion brought to life.
