Personality: Though many could claim that Son Goku is nothing but an hyperactive child, that wouldn't be an accurate neither fair description. Born from a stone, with a developed body and brain that placed him in a child stage, but without any knowledge inside that brain, he was a blank paper just like any other newborn baby. For Goku, life is just a wonderful adventure and mystery where even the tiniest things appear as amazing ones in his eyes. A kid capable to marvel at the color of the sky or at the clouds, or at the number of flowers that exist and their different scents. He knows nothing and wants to know everything. Goku's energetic and upbeat, a cheerful walking sunshine full of innocence and purity in a way that can only be found in newborn babies. He's curious about the world around him and doesn't miss a chance to explore and learn. Even food is something incredible for him, amazed by all the different types of food that there are and all the different dishes that can be cooked, Goku loves to eat, however, while he never misses a chance to eat he's not constantly asking for food or complaining about being hungry. It's mostly that for him the act of eating is almost like a game, so he doesn't mind doing it at any random moment, but it's not the only game out there and he wants to try them all.

Goku is also extremely friendly and social. He's completely unaware about society rules and manners, neither cares about them, considering the idea of a bunch of rules telling people how to behave to be stupid and pointless. Life is freedom and one should do what they want to do, specially when it's not something "seriously bad" (like killing people, manipulating them, hurting them just because and so on). Because of this Goku's interactions with people can easily be labeled as wild and unpredictable as he acts just the way he feels at the moment with little care for anything else. He loves to meet people and talk with them as it means learning new things, even if they are just things about the person he's talking to, after all they are part of the world as well so he's still interested. He's very impressionable, quickly calling someone a friend if he gets a liking on them after just one meeting and it's actually pretty easy to get him to like someone. He's very proud of meeting people, as with each person his world grows a bit larger and with each friend the loneliness vanishes a bit more, and he's specially proud of introducing himself ever since Konzen gave him his name. Names are very important for Goku, though he can at times forget to give his name or ask for the other's name, generally it won't take long before he remembers and worries about it in case they didn't exchange names. A name gives a person an individual existence, it makes them unique because even if the names repeat there's only one person with a certain face and that name, for Goku a name is what differences people from things, having been born with a grown up body without anyone around to name him, for Goku his name is his most precious treasure even if he doesn't know what it means. It's his name, a name he can give to people upon meeting them, a name that will make them remember him as more than 'that child with golden eyes' and that will tie them to him since they'll know how to call for him.

As an innocent child, Goku is only full of good intentions, he will never do something to annoy someone with such an intention or hurt anyone who doesn't hurt him or talks badly about his friends first. However, as a newborn there are many things he doesn't understand or realize, he's the kind of kid who won't hesitate to bother someone while they are working through any means possible because he thinks that they "work too much and should relax", of course this will be nothing but an annoyance and may make people angry with him, but at the end his intentions were positive and innocent. He loves to help people and be useful, even with stuff he doesn't understand, after all there are many things he can't understand so it's nothing new for him. Goku loves to play, specially and mostly with other people and won't miss a chance to drag someone to play with him no matter where they are or what it is, he's also a bit of a prankster but his lack of general knowledge of the world makes most of his pranks innocent and harmless -like painting on someone's face while they're sleeping or hiding for a small while something they were looking for-. He's a kind and affectionate kid, always looking for company and for friendship. Goku hates to be alone or to be left behind or forgotten. He has a big heart capable of loving everyone he meets and unable to hate, he wants nothing else but forever be with his friends, the people dear to him, not caring for where they are. To be ignored, rejected or left behind -even if it's for his own good- are things that he hates and fears terribly.

However, all this is nothing but the personality born from the golden diadem he wears the whole time and never takes off. The diadem is not a mere accessory but a power limiter that keeps Goku's power greatly limited and with it, his "true self". Though it's questionable how different Goku's true form (also known as Seiten Taisei) and his repressed form are from each other, when he loses his diadem Goku becomes a violent creature who aims for nothing but fighting and takes a great pleasure on it. But that's not all, even under that condition, in which many claim that Goku loses all senses of himself, he still retains some of his normal persona and is able to even recognize people to some extent, still he's a dangerous creature in that state as even when he recognizes his friends he won't hesitate to attack them. The reasons for the violent behavior of Seiten are largely unknown, it could be that the reason of his birth is precisely destruction and chaos, or it could be something deeper and more serious. There are many times in which Seiten's feelings and actions mirror the emotional state Goku was before the diadem fell or got broken, also, as much as he likes to fight, he won't look for a fight, if the diadem falls or breaks while he's alone most probably he will remain where he is, not moving unless someone approaches him. Seiten rarely talks and seems to ignore anything he's told, however he can talk and can listen to others so it's clear that he just chooses to ignore them most of the time only caring for fighting for some unknown objective.

Strengths:

Mental: Goku is a bright and curious child, being basically a newborn his brain easily absorbs knowledge and he's a quick learner, however due being in a grown body this is limited to when he's actually interested in things to learn. He was able to learn to read and write in a short amount of time, but even Tenpou, his teacher, said that it was only when he bothered with it. He's very strong-willed and even stubborn, specially when it comes to things he has already decided or believes in.

Physical: Even with the diadem on -which gives him a power cap besides the one Luceti possesses- Goku's still incredible strong for his body and apparent age. Ever since he was taken to Heaven, he has been wearing shackles around his wrists, ankles and neck, each one of those weight at least 20 kg (44 lbs) adding up to a minimum total of 100kg (220 lbs) plus his own weight, yet even if he acknowledges them as heavy and hurting him, Goku can move around easily. He is also a fast runner and capable of jumping over an adult person of average height with no problems and without the shackles bothering him. Without the power cap of his diadem his strength increases to amazing levels in canon though the increase won't be that big while in Luceti, it will still be high enough to make him a danger should the diadem be removed or lost. Without his diadem he also posses an incredibly high regenerative speed, being able to recover from deadly wounds suffered while the diadem was on in a matter of minutes (this trait also exists when the diadem is on but not being too noticeable except that it takes him just a few hours less to recover than any other person)..

Emotional: Goku is a cheerful and caring child, he has a great capacity to love and does so dearly, his friends are the center and pillars of all his world -specially Konzen who is his "sun", the one who brought light and life to his world-. He doesn't care where he is so long as the people dear to him are there. Goku loves to play and laugh, but he also enjoys being helpful whenever he's asked to be so. He's quick to take likings of people and to create bonds with them without realizing it.

Weaknesses:

Mental: Despite being a quite capable kid and bright, Goku's pretty simple minded and tends to prefer to not think about complicated things. Probably due him not knowing many things, he has a bit of an attitude that, while he does want to learn and discover things, if he's unable to understand them at first he gives up on it and leaves it for later thinking that maybe it will be easier then. He also has a short span attention when something doesn't interest him and has problems concentrating in only one thing, being impulsive and energetic. All in all this often makes him seem like a stupid child, or even an animal seeing how he often moves by his instincts rather than by his mind.

Physical: Despite all his strength (both with the diadem on and off), his agility, speed and recovery speed, Goku's strengths end there. He's not immortal, neither is his body made of steel or anything similar. A bullet will wound or kill him just as it would any other person, in the same venue, swords can cut his skin easily and a fall from a high height may hurt or kill him, depending on the height and how he took the landing. Basically, Goku's body is as frail as any other person's body, it can get burn and injured all the same and he can be killed. He just is a bit harder to kill and hurt due his physical aptitudes, but it's not impossible to do so, specially when someone plays with his emotional and mental weaknesses first to trap him.

Emotional: Despite his apparent age, Goku's nothing but a newborn, he's extremely innocent in many fields and it's easy to fool him with sweet and nice words. He also has many fears, the most prominent one being the fear of being left behind or alone, even more so since Nataku, the friend of his age he had made, killed himself in front of him to not have to kill him. Goku's afraid of people dying, specially people he cares about, but he still doesn't like it even if he doesn't know them. Because many things are unknown to him, he's easily fascinated by them, however it's also equally easy for him to be scared about the unknown, he's a child so he needs a certain sense of security and protection even if he's strong enough to defend himself if it would come to it -specially because Goku only fights when his friends are insulted or attacked or they tell him to do so so they can escape-.
