But along with being an inspiration for the populace, he is also the originator of an iconic meme and a running belief. Many people who have experienced this creation by Toriyama claim that Goku could not only defeat everyone in the series but also any fictional character from any other work of fiction in the world.

This debate circles around fans and audiences of the Dragon Ball anime series comparing the main character to other powerful protagonists from either other anime series or any other creations from around the world, claiming that the Saiyan could beat them all in a fight. Since nothing is spared from this debate, the classic Goku Vs. Superman Debate has once more taken over X.

While it’s borderline impossible for this debate to come even close to a satisfactory conclusion considering they are two separate creative properties, in the end, everyone knows that is the case and still engages in these debates just because it’s a fun way to talk about the things that the fans love so much about their favorite work of fiction.
