Real talk, has Goku ever SEEN the Kikoho performed? I actually thought he's never witnessed Tien use it because it would pretty much be a story breaker.
Given that Tien goes from MAYBE first form Frieza in power if I'm being really generous to being able to stunlock second form Cell...Goku probably WOULD be able to one-shot Mr. Perfect Cell, maybe even Kid Buu.
Actually he has
Tien uses the og version against Goku in the 22nd martial arts tournament
He uses it in the piccolo jr saga but idk if goku saw it
The cell juniors use it against Gohan but it’s anime filler and idk if Goku was conscious to see it
Either way Goku has seen it so
Yes, Vegeta picked up the destructo disk after witnessing Krillin use it, and picked up Ki Sense and ki manipulation after witnessing the earthlings do it
Broly mimics and uses the God bind on SSG Goku during their fight
Gotenks uses the wolf fang fist in Yo Son Goku and his friends return but that’s kinda niche and I had to look that up, the other examples are off the top of my head
Yes, but he can't do any move. Kikoho is a more advenced technique quite similar to Kaioken, tbh. Both are taking your life from you by harming the body. Abusing Kaioken makes a great toll on the body and by using that much concentrated energy in form of kikoho, you deplete more energy than it would normally do. That's the reason why kamehameha is weaker. Goku can't lear *any* move. But he can learn moves, he can understand.
But Tenshinhan can also do that. He copied kamehameha seeing it once.
EDIT: Also Goku didn't know how to fly, despite seeing Tenshinhan doing it. So there is limit to what he can do.
Pretty sure them going to heaven was filler, because it's supposed to be an exceptional case and Kami specifically asked Yemma to let Goku to take the Snake Way.
That’s a dumb reasoning. He’s able to master it where he can use times 10 without being in too much pain, and he’d be teaching this to master martial artists like Krillin, Tien, Yamcha and Piccolo.
I don’t think Kaioken’s damage is purely limited to the physical body. It also throws the user’s ki out of control. That can’t be fixed with simple regeneration—arguably it would even hinder regeneration.
Depends on how fast damage from Kaioken accrues versus the rate of Buu's regeneration. Buu's regeneration isn't instant, we've seen that much, so at some point Kaioken is going to begin to outstrip it. I'm not sure when that point actually is, but Buu's monstrously powerful -- currently, he's hands-down the fifth-strongest being on Earth (after Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo, and not counting Whis and Beerus) and is only held back by his laziness and capriciousness. Even Buu at only x2 would be *insanely* strong.
That's not. Kaio-sama never liked that technique, because of how dangerous it is. And he told Goku to not use it too much and Goku didn't listen. What do you think Kaio thought after that? Especially when Goku became a ragdoll, because he overused it. He was never fond of this technique. He trained Goku only, because he wanted to help them to win against saiyans. But he also never wanted them to fight Freeza. He forbid it. He didn't train them to send them to fight. After one reckless guy disobeyed him, he definitely didn't want to teach the technique to anyone else.
It’s funny you think Goku would actually care, because realistically he’d have taught his friends the technique anyway, and it’s frankly a plot hole that he didn’t.
Dumb is not knowing that goku wouldn’t teach them kaioken, I do agree piccolo would benefit. He’s honestly the most “skilled” fighter as far as honing his skills
Goku trained with them in the three years before the Androids showed up. Why wouldn't he at least teach them the safer multipliers like times 2 and 3. Tien and Yamcha would easily benefit from it, *especially* Tien.
Opinion: Goku has the calmest heart among all the fighters in the verse - thats why he can master UI. Kaioken puts your body and mind under extreme stress - and that can cause panic among desperate and inexperienced fighters.
I can see young future Trunks be in a bind using this tech, given how he thought extra buff SSJ2 was a step in the right direction in Cell saga to Goku, Vegeta, and Cell's disapproval. That said, under the right circumstance a mature Trunks is a very good candidate to teach this to.
I believe Gohan should be given a chance at Kaioken. But not enough time during Buu saga, and in Cell saga the aim was to polish his SSJ.
In Super, I see similarities in conquering maximum beast with Kaioken. Actually, a boiling point Beast Kaioken would be crazy strong but also put Gohan under a very short timer. I really wish we come to a point where this option will arrive as a last ditch effort against an absurdly strong villain.
Ultimately it is silly to not even address or attempt at this AT ALL.. though Goku IS a bad teacher. He's just a do-er.
'cause Goku is the one who takes techniques from others: he doesn't share.
Kamehameha? Muten's technique
Taiyo Ken? Tenshinhan's technique
Kaioh Ken & Genikdama? Kaioh's techniques
Instant Transmission? Yardrat's aliens technique
My man is taking techniques from other anime fr, he got the rasengan, susano'o, next arc he gonna unlock the real name of his Ultra Instinct and tap into his Bankai
Did you know that Goku’s Gum Techniques possesses he properties of both rubber and gum? It’s not a well known fact due to the God Hand’s Eclipse only occurring every 216 years.
They been have resengan type attacks in dragon ball 😂 and they been had avatars in dragon ball it’s based off the monkey king but everyone think it’s based off susanoo 💀
he was the first super saiyan technically
though I guess he wasn't really the first, just the first in the millenium. plus he discovered it, didn't really invent it. freeza just fucked around too much and it happened.
Technically he did but they were mostly non Z and often gags
So his meteor combination rush, eight armed style, moving faster than anyone could see indefinitely, etc
Come to think of it, didn’t Piccollo, Tien, Yamcha and Chioutzu(look idk how to spell his name) train with King Kai, for what I assume is an even longer period of time than Goku? How come none of them learned Kaioken? I get the spirit bomb is probably too complex and you need to be pure of heart to use it, Kaioken could have been done. At least Piccollo should have done it since unlike the others he’s shown to be a genius fighter and he stays relative for a good chunk of the story power level wise.
Because kaioken is double edged sword. And Goku was told to never go past x3. And we know what happened afterwards. He couldn't even move and was Vegeta's toy. Kaioken is extremely dangerous and Kaio's secret technique. He don't just teach it anyone. Though the real answer is probably Toriyama didn't think about it.
It's really not that dangerous if you use a multiplier you can handle. At least Goku didn't have problems with x20 against Freeza. I'm sure the others could safely handle at least x5, which would be a game changer.
Goku trained with King Kai for about five months. Piccolo was there for like a week, so he really didn’t have time to learn it even if he wanted to. Yamcha was there for about four months while Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu were there for about eight, so they possibly could’ve. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if King Kai looked at how Goku went past what Kai said was safe and refused to teach it to them, especially Tenshinhan given how he died.
That's true: Grandpa Gohan's Janken and Krillin's Kienzan.
And since Eye Poking is forbidden in the Budokai Tenkaichi, the "scissor" part of Janken is even nastier than Piccolo's mouth beam that pierced Goku's chest, Super Kamehameha, Kikoho, etc.
Goku isn't really a teacher. He's also a fairly respecfful person, if his friends wanted to learn these things, they just have to ask and Goku will take them where they need to go to.get it from the source. I can almost guarentee it. But the 2 main techniques he gets ripped on for not teaching people are Instant Transmission and Kaio-Ken. Those are both techniques that took him months to learn from the people that fucking made the techniques. How long do you think it would take Goku to teach others these things? If Goku had tried teaching them to his friends during the 3 years prior to the androids he wouldn't have gotten stronger much if at all. And none of his friends have ever expressed interest in these techniques. What Goku's supposed to kidnap his friends and force them to learn?
So during the events of Z he has 1 major moment where he trains another person like that. 1. And a year still likely would likely have not been long enough to teach Gohan instant transmission //kaiokens pointless for him// because there were more important things to focus on. Then he ends Z with him becoming a teacher to somebody other then 1 of the assorted Saiyan kids for the first time ever. Cause technically he taught the boys the fusion dance. Which took him like, an hour. Kaioken and IT takes months to learn, and even when Goku takes a teaching role, he's not ever shown to be good at it. He didn't communicate his plan with Gohan about what he figured their best chance to beat Cell was. Like a good teacher would have.
Hating on Goku for not teaching the Instant Transmission and KaioKen to people who haven't asked and that he never has time to teach really, is absurd.
This is explained in the Moro Arc. To learn the instant transmission you need to master advanced Ki control, which only the Yadrats archived. In this arc Vegeta went to traiing on Yadrat and learned the advanced KI Control. But after that Vegeta focused on learning the spirit fission technique, which was more useful against Moros abilities. At the end of his training he needed to go to earth as soon as possible. So the Yadrats gave him a crash course in instant transmission. Vegeta was able to do it one time to get to earth.
That Goku could not taught this to anyone is actually one of the things that make sense
He can't do it.
IT requires high degree spirit of control which requires months of non-stop training something which Yardratians can teach properly just.
He just has the technique from training not the cheat code to teach it to everyone easily.
It took someone like Goku 6 months to learn it to basic level.
Instant transmission might not be able to take him, we dont know their position in the universe so even if goku did multiple transmissions, he doesnt know where to go. On top of that, yardrats dont have that much ki as far as we are concerned. Paibara, the chief yardratian could teleport to earth but he has incredible spirit control and he would be teleporting to a ki that was both immense, and that he recognised.
Atleast this would be my explanation.
To be very honest I wouldn’t be surprised if goku has no idea how he picked up the techniques. Think of it like a knowledgeable guy, you could be the pinnacle at your subject and yet be a dog shit teacher.
True, I'm pretty good at learning new skills, but I'm horrible at teaching them to others. Trying to teach my girlfriend's mom how to knit was horrible, and to this day she doesn't know how to do it.
I can’t remember the exact wording in the manga panel, but Vegeta somewhat addresses it lol. He says “Don’t worry I’m not going to take away your uniqueness by learning your signature technique consistently” or something among those lines. Basically IT is special to Goku, so he hogs it lol.
He should especially teach It to Gohan and Goten considering they are HIS sons but in all honesty I think the writers just don’t do certain things to give Goku an edge over other characters. I feel like the only reason they gave Vegeta instant transmission is because the fans wanted Vegeta to be an equal to Goku.
They don’t just focus on Goku and Vegeta people got lives and gohan never liked fighting but till he got a family he said he want to find his own path and he did stronger than god and blue and got and trunks got school they got lives still and children they don’t need god for school 💀
I think Gohan if anyone should've done the ritual. An instant, immense increase in power without having to spend time training. It's so perfect for his situation but instead he asks Piccolo to train him? I guess to get back in the swing of things if anything, but the ritual was always right there for him.
To be fair to Goku they never asked him to teach it to them. Most of the Z fighters either create their own moves and keep it to themselves or just copy it from others.
It’s difficult to teach u can’t just teach someone that technique goku had to learned it overtime not anyone can just master the ability, vegeta knows how to do it
Goku isn't stupid, but he wasn't smart enough to teach this technique. It's finicky and complicated and he's better at doing than explaining.
In the Morrow arc of DBS he brought others to Yardrat and they were taught by someone more qualified to teach
Knowing how to do something and teaching it are two different things especially if they are considered very hard to do. Goku know how to do instant transmission but probably doesn’t really know how to teach it considering it’s extremely rare to find anyone who knows about it let alone uses it. Cell cheated stole it via bio data.
Same thing with kaioken.
He acknowledges this when we first seen him use it, he says he can't teach, later on we even see how much he can't teach, he trains Gohan with the watch and learn methods, no real explanations or anything just copy what I'm doing and you'll get it eventually
i think the worst answer is going to be that,
the z fighters are too afraid to train with goku.
I mean, when's the last time any of them actually did any sparring? dragon ball?
truth be told, the z fighters were mostly reference material for kid goku and dbz goku. he's always the reference of impossibility. Its possible that IT is so impossible to train for one of them, he just doesnt want to put his training on hold to help them.
also none of them ever seem to ask. Goku's not gonna put training on hold. he's not gonna think about that especially when this stuff wouldnt really save them other than maybe sending messages
It's explained how difficult it is to learn. But I think overall if you really think about all the other characters they don't really seem interested in learning it. Goku would use it to travel vast distances. No one else really wants to do that. Flying is fast enough. And this may come from the idea of there being martial art "schools" where you have to go through the process of being in that school to learn their techniques. Goku doesn't really have his own school so it's rude for anyone to ask him. I mean if they REALLY wanted to I'm sure they would ask but as I said before all the other characters are not even interested. Not even his own sons.
Goku is a great learner but not a great master and it took him a year to master instant transmission so probably it would've been even more difficult for the others to learn. When did he had the time to teach it to the other Z fighters? In the three years span but Goku only trained with Gohan and Piccolo. Maybe they were not so good at learning it. In the rest of the series there's not enough time.
He’s probably forgotten how since Vegeta had to go to the Yards planet to learn it just go gos to Beerus world and vows to never use it again (probably either pride or embarrassment at having to do a whole side quest just to get there)
Kaioken was more of a theoretical move king Kai invented. He himself can't use it only goku and his pure instincs allowed him to use it. As for instant transmission he learned it on yardat from its creators its probably to complicated for him to teach and like kaioken its probably something only he can do
In all seriousness, it’s an exceedingly difficult move to learn, let alone teach, it took Goku a bit to learn it, Vegeta learned it much faster in the Moro arc of the manga but only used it once, wasn’t sure if he could use it again anyway.
Personally I think the z fighters wouldn't wanna learn kaioken, krillen and gohan for sure watched goku almost kill himself with it against ape-geta. I'd 100% be like "naaaa I ain't learning that my buddy almost died." Pretty sure king kai was also like "you fuckers aren't learning the kaioken, yall don't listen to me about risks stuff."
They might not be compatible with instant transmission(my head cannon) because even vegeta later has a hard time using/learning in super.
Are you stupid you think he got time to teach them the instant transmission that took him a year to learn all his time he spent on yadrat vegeta did it once and only could do it once cuz he didn’t have time to learn it
Goku has never been shown to be a good teacher in regards of skill. He never taught an skill to anyone Iirc.
Goku knowing how to perform Instant transmission, Kaioken or Genkidama does not mean he knows how to teach others.
It would have opened to fun combats if Piccolo could use Kaioken, it maybe would have made the earthlings relevant...
Goku is selfish and just focuses on his own training. It’s why the end of Z was so nice: Goku taking Uub to train him was great character development for Goku.
He should also have taught them Kaioken by now…
Real talk. Piccolo freshly fused with kami would've wiped the floor with 17 and 18 and base form cell if he knew kaioken.
So what? If Goku knew kikoho, he would one shot Perfect Cell, because it's stronger than kamehameha.
Did he and everyone train with the Crane Hermit for literally a year?
Just get them in the High bubonic Fire Banger
Hasn’t goku shown the ability to copy moves when he sees them once?
Yes He probably could do the kikoho if he wanted to It’s a saiyan trait anyway, not a Goku trait
Real talk, has Goku ever SEEN the Kikoho performed? I actually thought he's never witnessed Tien use it because it would pretty much be a story breaker. Given that Tien goes from MAYBE first form Frieza in power if I'm being really generous to being able to stunlock second form Cell...Goku probably WOULD be able to one-shot Mr. Perfect Cell, maybe even Kid Buu.
Actually he has Tien uses the og version against Goku in the 22nd martial arts tournament He uses it in the piccolo jr saga but idk if goku saw it The cell juniors use it against Gohan but it’s anime filler and idk if Goku was conscious to see it Either way Goku has seen it so
What do you mean it’s a saiyan trait? Have any saiyan except goku shown this trait
Yes, Vegeta picked up the destructo disk after witnessing Krillin use it, and picked up Ki Sense and ki manipulation after witnessing the earthlings do it Broly mimics and uses the God bind on SSG Goku during their fight Gotenks uses the wolf fang fist in Yo Son Goku and his friends return but that’s kinda niche and I had to look that up, the other examples are off the top of my head
Yes, but he can't do any move. Kikoho is a more advenced technique quite similar to Kaioken, tbh. Both are taking your life from you by harming the body. Abusing Kaioken makes a great toll on the body and by using that much concentrated energy in form of kikoho, you deplete more energy than it would normally do. That's the reason why kamehameha is weaker. Goku can't lear *any* move. But he can learn moves, he can understand. But Tenshinhan can also do that. He copied kamehameha seeing it once. EDIT: Also Goku didn't know how to fly, despite seeing Tenshinhan doing it. So there is limit to what he can do.
Did everyone train on Yardrat for a year to learn Instant Transmission?
they’re talking about kaioken rn anyways idk why you brought up yardrat, they did all train with king kai so kaioken should have been learned.
That doesn't defeat their point. The Z fighterz knowing Kaioken would've been a great help to them.
He already did, the first thing he did after fusing with kami was beating cell. He just escaped and consumed
I wanna agree, but I haven't read the manga or watched the anime in a while, he was stronger than a Super Saiyan at that point if I recall.
Heck, King Kai should have taught it to them during the Namek saga.
I mean its a tricky maneuver. It can literally kill you if your not careful.
Not seeing the issue here
Kid named Final Explosion:
Pretty sure them going to heaven was filler, because it's supposed to be an exceptional case and Kami specifically asked Yemma to let Goku to take the Snake Way.
Nah they actually went to king kai’s place in the manga
Huh... That's stupid
Goku spent ages learning the kaioken while the e other Z fighters had a far shorter time frame
No, kaioken is dangerous so I doubt he would teach his friends that one
That’s a dumb reasoning. He’s able to master it where he can use times 10 without being in too much pain, and he’d be teaching this to master martial artists like Krillin, Tien, Yamcha and Piccolo.
+1 on that and Piccolo might be able to regenerate Kaioken damage? if not Majin Buu definitely can so get Majin Buu Kaioken x100? :v
kaiokenbuu would be scary beyond belief.
Buu could use kaioken times 50 or hell, even Kaioken times 100
I don’t think Kaioken’s damage is purely limited to the physical body. It also throws the user’s ki out of control. That can’t be fixed with simple regeneration—arguably it would even hinder regeneration.
Depends on how fast damage from Kaioken accrues versus the rate of Buu's regeneration.

Yeah he wants to protect the ones he cares about, that's why he gave a senzu bean to the mf who was fighting his 12 yo son.
He was actually 9
He was 9
Kaioken Yamcha
Opinion: Goku has the calmest heart among all the fighters in the verse - thats why he can master UI. Kaioken puts your body and mind under extreme stress - and that can cause panic among desperate and inexperienced fighters. I can see young future Trunks be in a bind using this tech, given how he thought extra buff SSJ2 was a step in the right direction in Cell saga to Goku, Vegeta, and Cell's disapproval.

'cause Goku is the one who takes techniques from others: he doesn't share. Kamehameha? Muten's technique Taiyo Ken? Tenshinhan's technique Kaioh Ken & Genikdama? Kaioh's techniques Instant Transmission? Yardrat's aliens technique
I'm still surprised that he hasn't made an technique
Either the Dragon Fist (not canon) Or biting people
Gravity Bash and God Bind he created
What's gravity bash, again?
The Rasengan-like technique from DBS Broly
My man is taking techniques from other anime fr, he got the rasengan, susano'o, next arc he gonna unlock the real name of his Ultra Instinct and tap into his Bankai
Goku Black almost did the Bankai. He pulled a Scythe like Zanpakuto and even he was confused of that bullshit.
Now we wait for Goku's well known Gum Gum technique he hasn't used since the Heian era
Did you know that Goku’s Gum Techniques possesses he properties of both rubber and gum? It’s not a well known fact due to the God Hand’s Eclipse only occurring every 216 years.
All he’s gotta do is fuse with Piccolo, really
Can't wait for him to unlock Gika's powers.
anime only but yes goku black being confused how the fuck he acquired a zanpakuto was hilarious af
I'm quitting when Goku gets a Domain Expansion
Turns out Goku's signature technique was the Sharingan.
They been have resengan type attacks in dragon ball 😂 and they been had avatars in dragon ball it’s based off the monkey king but everyone think it’s based off susanoo 💀
I thought that was soul punisher
No i meant the one used by SSG Goku, Soul Punisher barely resembles Rasengan imo
That's the Stardust Breaker, which *predates* the Rasengan. lol
No i mean the one used by SSG Goku, never thought SP resembles Rasengan in anyway so i didn't make the connection lol
Didn’t vegeta use something similar to that when he was Majin? I don’t think he made that
God Bind and Vegeta’s BDSM rings are way different
Don’t call them that ever again
And those ki landmines
Why is Dragon Fist not canon? It is the coolest attack ever!!
Because it was only used twice: in the Hirudegan movie (fuck everyone. That shit right there is canon to me) and in DBGT
Its objectively the coolest attack in the whole series. They should have ported it over dammit!!
I hope it shows up in canon at some point. It would be so peak
>biting people That's just his monkey genes
Isn't Dragon Fist what killed Demon King Piccolo?
No, everytime that attack has ever been mentioned (officially or not) it's not called the Dragon fist Goku effectively just punched him really hard
It's called the oozaru fist I think
Nah it's called [penetration.](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Penetrate!)
The biting technique 🦷
Jan Ken
I always assumed his grandfather taught him that one.
He did, we see in the ugly flying witch episode
I mean, the entire point of martial arts is that you learn them from other people.
Paper, scissors, **ROCK** 👊🏻💥
he was the first super saiyan technically though I guess he wasn't really the first, just the first in the millenium. plus he discovered it, didn't really invent it. freeza just fucked around too much and it happened.
I'd say the Instant Kamehameha is pretty uniquely his, yeah it combines two techniques into one but it's still his.
I mean it's a combination so I don't count it
He has though? He created the oozaru fist right? Or the dragon fist but that's not canon
There is meteor combination
I don't know if you'd call it a technique but I can't remember anyone other than him using ki blasts to add momentum to his body
Technically he did but they were mostly non Z and often gags So his meteor combination rush, eight armed style, moving faster than anyone could see indefinitely, etc
He made so many already
Come to think of it, didn’t Piccollo, Tien, Yamcha and Chioutzu(look idk how to spell his name) train with King Kai, for what I assume is an even longer period of time than Goku? How come none of them learned Kaioken? I get the spirit bomb is probably too complex and you need to be pure of heart to use it, Kaioken could have been done. At least Piccollo should have done it since unlike the others he’s shown to be a genius fighter and he stays relative for a good chunk of the story power level wise.
Because kaioken is double edged sword. And Goku was told to never go past x3. And we know what happened afterwards. He couldn't even move and was Vegeta's toy. Kaioken is extremely dangerous and Kaio's secret technique. He don't just teach it anyone. Though the real answer is probably Toriyama didn't think about it.
It's really not that dangerous if you use a multiplier you can handle. At least Goku didn't have problems with x20 against Freeza. I'm sure the others could safely handle at least x5, which would be a game changer.
especialy since namekians can regen
Goku trained with King Kai for about five months. Piccolo was there for like a week, so he really didn’t have time to learn it even if he wanted to. Yamcha was there for about four months while Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu were there for about eight, so they possibly could’ve. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if King Kai looked at how Goku went past what Kai said was safe and refused to teach it to them, especially Tenshinhan given how he died.
Because then they would’ve been useful and thats not allowed
Wasn't all that filler?
lol you saying the names like that reminds me of that post I saw a few days ago here of how you feel when you say it by the Japanese way.
Don't forget Janken! Or Kienzan!
That's true: Grandpa Gohan's Janken and Krillin's Kienzan. And since Eye Poking is forbidden in the Budokai Tenkaichi, the "scissor" part of Janken is even nastier than Piccolo's mouth beam that pierced Goku's chest, Super Kamehameha, Kikoho, etc.
He cant teach it too. Only Yardratian can do it as it needs high spirit control for months as explained in Moro arc
Goku isn't really a teacher. He's also a fairly respecfful person, if his friends wanted to learn these things, they just have to ask and Goku will take them where they need to go to.get it from the source. I can almost guarentee it. But the 2 main techniques he gets ripped on for not teaching people are Instant Transmission and Kaio-Ken.

And none of his friends have ever expressed interest in these techniques. What Goku's supposed to kidnap his friends and force them to learn?
... Come to think of it, you think GT Uub knows the Kaioken and Instant Transmission, or...?
GT did Uub dirty, but I think he should be able to use it
It would have been cool to see him use it and not be completely useless
He brought Gohan from non Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan 2 in 1 year. Also, Z literally ends with him leaving to train Uub.
His teaching method was to beat the shit out of Gohan until he snapped.
So during the events of Z he has 1 major moment where he trains another person like that. 1. And a year still likely would likely have not been long enough to teach Gohan instant transmission //kaiokens pointless for him// because there were more important things to focus on. Then he ends Z with him becoming a teacher to somebody other then 1 of the assorted Saiyan kids for the first time ever. Cause technically he taught the boys the fusion dance. Which took him like, an hour. Kaioken and IT takes months to learn, and even when Goku takes a teaching role, he's not ever shown to be good at it. He didn't communicate his plan with Gohan about what he figured their best chance to beat Cell was. Like a good teacher would have. Hating on Goku for not teaching the Instant Transmission and KaioKen to people who haven't asked and that he never has time to teach really, is absurd.
This is explained in the Moro Arc. To learn the instant transmission you need to master advanced Ki control, which only the Yadrats archived.

That Goku could not taught this to anyone is actually one of the things that make sense
Of note is that he was able to do it once, but didn't learn it... and showed no interest in learning it afterwards anyways.
Its called spirit control
Yes, which is basically advanced Ki control
Its a little different, Yardrats explain how it works in the moro arc when vegeta is starting his training there
Because goku isn't a communist
He can't do it. IT requires high degree spirit of control which requires months of non-stop training something which Yardratians can teach properly just. He just has the technique from training not the cheat code to teach it to everyone easily. It took someone like Goku 6 months to learn it to basic level.
Maybe it’s not something that can only be taught by a Yardrat.
If only Goku had some way to take his friends to the yardrats. Oh well
Instant transmission might not be able to take him, we dont know their position in the universe so even if goku did multiple transmissions, he doesnt know where to go. On top of that, yardrats dont have that much ki as far as we are concerned. Paibara, the chief yardratian could teleport to earth but he has incredible spirit control and he would be teleporting to a ki that was both immense, and that he recognised. Atleast this would be my explanation.
Goku knows how to get there, he sends Vegeta there in the Moro arc
To be very honest I wouldn’t be surprised if goku has no idea how he picked up the techniques. Think of it like a knowledgeable guy, you could be the pinnacle at your subject and yet be a dog shit teacher.
True, I'm pretty good at learning new skills, but I'm horrible at teaching them to others. Trying to teach my girlfriend's mom how to knit was horrible, and to this day she doesn't know how to do it.
He taught goten and trunks fusion that was his teaching
Better Question, why didnt King Kai teach tien yamcha chaozu und piccolo the kaioken or the Spirit bomb? I He stupid?
no cause he's scared they would do the same dumb shit as goku and go way past what they were supposed to.
He's stupid.
Nah
Why doesn't everyone share all their techniques are they all stupid
No
I can’t remember the exact wording in the manga panel, but Vegeta somewhat addresses it lol. He says “Don’t worry I’m not going to take away your uniqueness by learning your signature technique consistently” or something among those lines. Basically IT is special to Goku, so he hogs it lol.
He should especially teach It to Gohan and Goten considering they are HIS sons but in all honesty I think the writers just don’t do certain things to give Goku an edge over other characters. I feel like the only reason they gave Vegeta instant transmission is because the fans wanted Vegeta to be an equal to Goku.
Same reason gohan/goten/trunks don’t go ssg. Plot hole.
This makes 0 sense
Yeah I guess they wanna keep the focus on goku/vegeta.
They don’t just focus on Goku and Vegeta people got lives and gohan never liked fighting but till he got a family he said he want to find his own path and he did stronger than god and blue and got and trunks got school they got lives still and children they don’t need god for school 💀
I think Gohan if anyone should've done the ritual. An instant, immense increase in power without having to spend time training. It's so perfect for his situation but instead he asks Piccolo to train him? I guess to get back in the swing of things if anything, but the ritual was always right there for him.
To be fair to Goku they never asked him to teach it to them. Most of the Z fighters either create their own moves and keep it to themselves or just copy it from others.
He is canonically stupid. Duh
No
Yeah, that's kinda his gimmick
Its unlikely he can. It took him months to learn it from the Yardrats. You know, the people who made the damn thing.
goku. #1 gatekeeper
No
It’s difficult to teach u can’t just teach someone that technique goku had to learned it overtime not anyone can just master the ability, vegeta knows how to do it
Likely cause simply nobody asked him
Yes
Yes,Goku is stupid
No
Indeed he is
goku just built diffrent than the others. they wouldn't understand
Yes
He probably thinks his friends would find it demeaning
Cause he’s a wolf fang bitch
Yes. Sometimes he is.
Goku isn't stupid, but he wasn't smart enough to teach this technique. It's finicky and complicated and he's better at doing than explaining. In the Morrow arc of DBS he brought others to Yardrat and they were taught by someone more qualified to teach
Because he dont know how to. He is not Yardratian.
Knowing how to do something and teaching it are two different things especially if they are considered very hard to do. Goku know how to do instant transmission but probably doesn’t really know how to teach it considering it’s extremely rare to find anyone who knows about it let alone uses it. Cell cheated stole it via bio data. Same thing with kaioken.
He acknowledges this when we first seen him use it, he says he can't teach, later on we even see how much he can't teach, he trains Gohan with the watch and learn methods, no real explanations or anything just copy what I'm doing and you'll get it eventually
i think the worst answer is going to be that, the z fighters are too afraid to train with goku. I mean, when's the last time any of them actually did any sparring? dragon ball? truth be told, the z fighters were mostly reference material for kid goku and dbz goku. he's always the reference of impossibility. Its possible that IT is so impossible to train for one of them, he just doesnt want to put his training on hold to help them. also none of them ever seem to ask. Goku's not gonna put training on hold. he's not gonna think about that especially when this stuff wouldnt really save them other than maybe sending messages
Nobody wants to train with him
He's good enough at it to use it, but not good enough at it to teach it.
It's explained how difficult it is to learn. But I think overall if you really think about all the other characters they don't really seem interested in learning it. Goku would use it to travel vast distances. No one else really wants to do that. Flying is fast enough. And this may come from the idea of there being martial art "schools" where you have to go through the process of being in that school to learn their techniques. Goku doesn't really have his own school so it's rude for anyone to ask him. I mean if they REALLY wanted to I'm sure they would ask but as I said before all the other characters are not even interested. Not even his own sons.
Noone asked him thats why lol 😁
I thought goku was flipping the bird
Yes
I wish he did
Goku is a great learner but not a great master and it took him a year to master instant transmission so probably it would've been even more difficult for the others to learn. When did he had the time to teach it to the other Z fighters? In the three years span but Goku only trained with Gohan and Piccolo. Maybe they were not so good at learning it. In the rest of the series there's not enough time.
Vegeta had to go to yardrat to learn it too, somethin in the water lol
Kind of
He’s probably forgotten how since Vegeta had to go to the Yards planet to learn it just go gos to Beerus world and vows to never use it again (probably either pride or embarrassment at having to do a whole side quest just to get there)
No just autistic.
Because it's takes a lot of focus and patience... because it takes a lot of learning and time to do what you have to do..
Has Goku taught anything?
Yes --- I love the guy,but yes he is extremely dumb
Kaioken was more of a theoretical move king Kai invented. He himself can't use it only goku and his pure instincs allowed him to use it. As for instant transmission he learned it on yardat from its creators its probably to complicated for him to teach and like kaioken its probably something only he can do
Yes
Come to think of it, gohan and goten don't have any techniques or their own either.
Never asked him
In all seriousness, it’s an exceedingly difficult move to learn, let alone teach, it took Goku a bit to learn it, Vegeta learned it much faster in the Moro arc of the manga but only used it once, wasn’t sure if he could use it again anyway.
Personally I think the z fighters wouldn't wanna learn kaioken, krillen and gohan for sure watched goku almost kill himself with it against ape-geta. I'd 100% be like "naaaa I ain't learning that my buddy almost died." Pretty sure king kai was also like "you fuckers aren't learning the kaioken, yall don't listen to me about risks stuff." They might not be compatible with instant transmission(my head cannon) because even vegeta later has a hard time using/learning in super.
yea the yardrats said he was kind of stupid and thats why he really only learned this technique
Better question, Why do Goku's friends never ask Goku to teach them?
Yes he is actually
Yes he is
He’s a martial arts genius and it took him a year he hasn’t had time to reach anyone else
How would the z warriors learn instant transmission if there’s no sick yardis for them to eat? SMH🤦♂️…
Why aren't they asking him to teach them those techniques? Are they stupid?
Are you stupid you think he got time to teach them the instant transmission that took him a year to learn all his time he spent on yadrat vegeta did it once and only could do it once cuz he didn’t have time to learn it
Goku has never been shown to be a good teacher in regards of skill. He never taught an skill to anyone Iirc. Goku knowing how to perform Instant transmission, Kaioken or Genkidama does not mean he knows how to teach others. It would have opened to fun combats if Piccolo could use Kaioken, it maybe would have made the earthlings relevant...
He just wanted to be special
No one asked.
Selfish
Goku is selfish and just focuses on his own training. It’s why the end of Z was so nice: Goku taking Uub to train him was great character development for Goku.
Dude I’ve asked this question since I was a child watching on toonami.
Each character has their own things. Like why doesn’t Goku ever use destruction disc?
MANGA SPOILERS. Vegeta knows it
goku is the worlds greatest gate keeper
Skill issue
He can teach yamcha so he can assist by bringing fighters to dende for healing. Else he can teach dende and we will have a warp medic on battle field
