Drgon Ball is hands down one of the most legendary anime series out there. One of the biggest reasons it's so iconic is because you just know when things start looking bad, someone's about to pull out a brand new transformation and turn the tide of the battle. And 75% of the time, it's probably going to be Goku.
So, here are Goku's most iconic forms in Drgon Ball of all time. Great Ape Goku is going to begin our list based solely off of the fact that he just hasn't had a tail since early Drgon Ball. Super Saiyan 2 Goku is one of Goku's least used forms in Drgon Ball Super, only being seen by him a handful of times, but most iconically in his battle with Majin Vegeta.
Kaio-Ken Goku is going to be next as this technique still sees use by Goku to this day, which I think is really cool as it definitely stood the test of time from early Drgon Ball Z all the way to where we are now in Drgon Ball Super. Super Saiyan God is next, being the first new form we would see in Drgon Ball Super and our very first introduction to Goku using God Key in the series. Next is Super Saiyan Blue.
Probably the most versatile form in Goku's arsenal outside of maybe Ultra Instinct since he's able to apply it in a bunch of different ways. I'll put Super Saiyan 4 here just because while it is a fan favorite form, it probably just isn't the most iconic, especially with Drgon Ball Da implementing their own version of Super Saiyan 4. Super Saiyan 3 follows this.
I don't think I really have to justify why this is so high on the list. one of the most iconic forms of all time. Easily Ultra Instinct is easily one of the most impactful transformations of all time in all of anime.
And I'm counting both Ultra Instinct Sign and Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku as both forms really sent waves across the anime community and the internet as a whole. And finally, last but certainly not least, Super Saiyan. possibly the most iconic form and transformation in all of anime and one of the most iconic in pop culture, period.
