Goku is one of the most powerful characters in Dragon Ball, there’s no doubt about it, but the truth is that everyone’s favorite Saiyan couldn’t defeat all of his enemies. Here we look back at all the villains who defeated Goku.
Tao Pai Pai
After the saga of the 22nd Martial Arts Tournament ended, Goku fought Tao Pai Pai under Master Karin’s temple and lost the fight, but later recovered and defeated the assassin in a rematch.

Father Piccolo
While trying to avenge the death of his friend Krillin, Goku is confronted by the demon Piccolo, who effortlessly left him nearly dead on the pavement. If it were not for Yajirobe, our hero would definitely cease to appear in history.

In the Saiyan Saga, Goku faced Raditz, who had previously kidnapped his son Gohan, but Raditz ultimately defeated Goku and left him severely injured.

Goku Black/Zamasu
How many times has Goku Black left Goku? We lost count, and even merging with Vegeta, he couldn’t finish off this villain. Neither in the anime nor in the manga.

Strike
In the Dragon Ball Super Tournament of Power, Goku fought Hit, an assassin from Universe 6, and although he loses the fight, he managed to gain the respect of his opponent. Also, remember that he also ended Goku’s life in the tie-in episode.
