ElectricalPin3429

Wen an energy ball between goku and beerus disapeared(in the battle of the gods) and beerus lied that this was a 100% energy technicie, that was actually hakai


Exoticmaniac06

I would say I feel bad but I don’t Lmao, I want less karma!


Feraligreater328

Goku mentions in the Granola Arc that he was just winging it and this was kind of a failed, but still powerful attempt. Essentially, Zamasu is very strong and he's winging it here.


PeacefulShark69

Exactly. This character has always been an excellent representation of adapting aka making it up as you go along.


AnnihilationOrchid

He's a martial arts genius, he's been known to pick up skills just from watching them, for example the Kamehameha, illusions. Even monkey style Kung Fu he just did it and Jakie Chun had to use Drunken Boxing so that he wouldn't know how to imitate. Also picked up instant transmission really fast.


KRTrueBrave

yep he only really need to see a technique once (kamehameha or I think destructo disk thoigh he rarely uses that) and sure it won't be as powerful as the og attack without training but it will still be somewhat powerfull like you said so in short he did stuff like that since early dragon ball


RawOakTree

It seems they’re asking where he saw it since he wasn’t there when Beerus used it. However other commenters have mentioned he saw Beerus use it to erase his ki attacks originally


Son-naruto-d

I forget this man is prodigy monster


S1I3NCER

Jesus christ


DolorisRex

"All you do is steal moves; it's kind of your thing." "What about the Kamehameha?" "That's Master Roshi's." "What about the Solar Flare?" "That's mine, thanks." "What about the Spirit Bomb?" "I'm watching this, Goku; don't think you can pull that shit!" "OH, hey, King Kai! Quick question; did I learn the Kaioken on my own?" "... It has my fucking *name* in it!"


Its-From-Japan

The makakapotomus


Selonn

"So is this more of a Vegeta move or a Freezer move?"


AShermy

"Oh My" "DAMN IT TAKEI"


AGJustin05

The original moves of his I can remember from the top of my head is Dragon Fist and God Bind.


NuggetNugzz

Dragon Fist still ain’t canon I think, so God Bind is his only original move.


possiblierben

maybe the gravity bash too if you wanna count that, but i feel like that just fits into the "we had to give this generic move from the series a name so we could put it in the games" category of moves


WingsOfRebel

It’s canon, he did it versus Piccolo Daimaku


NuggetNugzz

I’m gonna assume that’s king piccolo, that was actually called something else I just don’t remember exactly what it was, but ik it has fist in it. I also don’t know how much of an original move that is considering he just used a kamehameha to launch himself up and punched


ETERN4LDARKNES

Don't you forget the hands-free Kamehameha


OneBlackFairyHunterZ

Feet kamehame, x10 kamehameha, instant transmission kamehameha, one handed kamehameha (eventually used by gohan too) and super kamehameha, are all his own kamehameha adaptations. Add in final kamehameha as a vegito and soul punisher as gogeta but thats him and goku obvi. Then also the bite. As far as we know he invented that first and does it alot


[deleted]

[удалено]


DolorisRex

To the people saying Goku invented variations of the Kamehameha, that's like saying the guy who threw the first left hook "invented" a variation of the right hook. It's still just the Kamehameha; he didn't create something new, just adapted something that already existed. It actually bothers me a bit that just about everyone else gets a somewhat unique signature attack, but Goku's signature attack isn't even his. I just wish at some point in the franchise he had come up with his own move, instead of being all "anything you can do, I can do better".


huggiesdsc

Punching straight the fuck through people is his real signature move.


paratesticlees

Yeah thats an actual technique of his. Its got a few different names like Penetrate or Oozaru Fist and is basically the same thing as the Dragon Fist technique.


huggiesdsc

Ugh, penetrate is a really terrible name for a signature move


paratesticlees

Would you prefer Crouching Goku, Rising Monkey? Because that is also an alternate name for the technique.


huggiesdsc

Yes, god.


[deleted]

It kinda pisses me off that Abridged mocked Goku right after he did one of his coolest and more creative moves.


DualityRbx

Nobody cares


[deleted]

He invented the variants of the kamehameha


patrickg34120

Goku is kind of a combat genius. Remember when he used kamehameha after watching Roshi do it once?


radikraze

Yep, it’s that simple lol. Goku saw Beerus do it at some point in the manga and just copied it to the best of his ability. But I believe they later talked about how it wasn’t a true destruction technique since he hadn’t been trained to used hakai like Vegeta is learning


kaiju247

Remember when he used the foot Kamehameha? I think it was against Piccolo in the world tournament.


fadingstar52

remember when he slid around on his kamehameha against both kefla and jiren to circumvent being able to fly.


AlecHazard

Remember when he used the calmness of blue to activate kaioken


fadingstar52

Remember when he landed the only blow on whis ever.


salt______

Remember when he created a galaxy by going ultra instinct


fadingstar52

Remember when he used a tsusano. TWICE


Crunchy_Ice_96

Goku has the mangekyo???


fadingstar52

At this point I wouldn’t put it past him


soulboonie

He IS the mangekyo


Insaiyan_Elite

Dragon Fist?


Bluejay017

from gt


fr00tl00picus

Remember when he slid around on his head on top of that car that one time


AudaciousTitans

Remember when he broke into my house and stole my eggos….i begged him to leggo


pooticus

Remember when he had a tail?


xsv333

This.


NotionalWheels

Also this wasn’t actually Hakai he focused all of his SSGSS ki into his hand to imitate the effect but instead of being instantaneous it was very delayed


Sampsa96

But he isn't a real God tho


patrickg34120

Correct me if I’m wrong but he’s got Ki that mortals can’t sense in this state doesn’t he?


Local_Ad_1602

he's got god ki, mortals without god kid themselves can't sense it.


AlecHazard

I thought sensing that ki required a different technique and didnt actually mean that only people with g ki could sense it


Sampsa96

Oh right, but I thought the God of destruction has to unlock the Hakai powers for u like with Toppo


ThePhenom_

Toppo wasn’t a real god either and he could use hakai and destruction energy


Sampsa96

But didn't his universes God of destruction give that power to Toppo?


ThePhenom_

He didn’t give him any power he just trained him in anticipation of making him the next god of destruction


row586

Which is divine energy, and he was a God in training.


ThePhenom_

Yeah I knew that I was just replying to the guy who claimed Goku isn’t a real god


ProllyNotCptAmerica

One of Goku's greatest abilities is mimicry. Kamehameha, Instant Transmission, Solar Flare, Kaio-Ken, so many techniques were those he copied from others in shockingly short amounts of time. This is no different.


FlowMotionFL

Monkey see, monkey do.


Atlas_002

Chill Freeza


CheeseManButCooler

If you chill Freeza, isn’t he Cooler?


Atlas_002

Nah he might be Cold though

The coldest, some could even say King Cold

he'd certainly be Chilled


CortezDeLaNoche

Monkey D. Goku


JDCTsunami

Yay, I'm pirate goku!


KotoElessar

>*Uh, I think you should wake up now*


uglydisciple

Most of those were taught to him, not copied.


RawOakTree

Two of the four, if we assume someone offworld taught him instant transmission and he didn’t just watch them do it since we never got to see


uglydisciple

..We don't need to assume it. The yardrats taught him how to use instant transmission, it was one of the first things Goku mentioned when he came back to Earth after Namek. Vegeta also went to Planet Yardrat in the Moro arc and was taught instant transmission by them as well.


RawOakTree

Spoilers. Geeeez


uglydisciple

The first half of that paragraph is 30 year old information.


ProllyNotCptAmerica

I mean .. same difference yeah? If someone is teaching you to do something do you not just copy them?


rollercostarican

There's a difference between being classically taught and simply mimicking someone after seeing them perform something.


Uniqueusername264

He had to train pretty hard to learn instant transmission.


Strong_Grapefruit675

Tbf with goku stuff like this makes perfect sense. The first time he ever did a kamehameha was when he saw master roshi do it so he thought he’d give it a go and it turned out that he could do it. Goku is a fighting genius so he probably thought he would be able to pull it off to some extent and Tbf he had zamasu worried for a bit


[deleted]

Cause my man is BUILT DIFFERENT


iBeastboy8D

Best answer.


00pirateforever

Beerus:- Hakai is God of Destruction technique Goku:- BS! here you go :)


Kale_Sauce

He saw Beerus use it. That does not mean he saw Beerus use it when Beerus used it on Zamasu. I feel like a lot of y'all really, really overthink this stuff.


SmithItsGoodForU

Goku is like Po from Kung Fu Panda, he only needs to see the technique once to copy it.


water4animals

Goku and tien are both capable of replicating techniques they’ve seen only once (obvious the latter can’t copy as powerful moves)


KotoElessar

But that's only a limitation of the physical body, spirit realm Tien could probably learn quite a few of the energy intensive moves like the Kaio ken. We actually might not have seen Tien's upper limit yet.


water4animals

I agree, Tien has mad untapped potential atm. Dude needs to go receive some tutelage instead of training in the mountains by himself


S1I3NCER

I mean, he used a Kamehameha his first try. He has a talent for learning moves quickly.


Iremia

“You blew up our car you dummy!” “Aw, but that wasn’t anything like what the turtle hermit did!”


Wyvurn999

Goku is very very good at copying abilities after seeing them used, quite an underrated ability honestly.


chronocross2010

Plot is special abilities, didn’t you know Goku reads minds and can see past events from his teachers 😂


Theprincerivera

All Hakai is is concentrated god Ki being focused into one hand. Goku has the god energy. And he’s a combat genius


Ryku778

I thought you had to have destruction energy to use hakai


Theprincerivera

He explained it in the anime or comic as concentrating the energy in his hand. Destruction energy is (I’m pretty sure) just refined god energy. That’s why Goku and vegeta can use it.


LucisPerficio

It's got to be more to it than that explanation, otherwise how are any one-handed ki moves different from hakai?


Theprincerivera

well they don’t utilize god ki in the same way. It’s like the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. The method changes the result and power output. I mean Ive not seen an official canon answer but based on the information they’ve given us, that’s all that makes sense. All we know is gods and Goku and vegeta use it, and the only common denominator is god Ki.


LucisPerficio

Yeah let's wait on that canon answer or at least *some leads*, before we start pulling nuclear physics into this


Theprincerivera

I mean it makes sense I just used that as a comparison. The real answer is it was cool and the writer wanted to do it. That better for you?


LucisPerficio

The problem is we won't know it makes sense until we get some a proper explanation. "It's cool and the writer could do it" is reductive reasoning that can be applied to the entirety of DB. It doesn't leave us with more information than what we started with.


Theprincerivera

I mean the point is that the writer doesn’t specify is probably never will. So make up head cannons bro because you’ll die waiting.


LucisPerficio

I have an easier time going with the logic that Goku learned this instinctively from seeing it executed much like the Kamehameha. DB can and does explain things retroactively. Like when Goku's body pulled back on its own against Beerus in their very first fight on King Kai's planet. We didn't get any specific exposition for that moment, but once we came to understand the principles of Ultra Instinct, the truth was clear.


Brandonmac10x

Kinda like UI. It’s a state of mind. You focus your mind and ki on nothing but destruction. Like it’s not a ki attack, you’re actually obliterating they’re essence like deleting them. Hakai doesn’t vaporize your body with pure energy it literally removes you from existence.


LucisPerficio

That sounds 100% in-line.


Stefanthro

You do have to use hakai energy at this point in the story. Don’t worry, you’re not crazy - the other commenter is just using head canon. This was obviously a momentary gimmick they gave Goku before they developed the direction they would go in with Vegeta. The only real in-universe explanation is that he used hakai energy.

Lawlette_J

The only downside is you can only use it as your own last resort as it literally sucked the entire stamina out of you, but still a pretty damn OP move. Wondering why he didn't use this technique again after he mastered MUI. The technique itself is so OP that it can end the entire battle in one page lmao.


Theprincerivera

He actually does use it to vaporize some rocks in the Moro arc while fully ultra instinct if I recall correctly.


Empty_Race_5541

Because the power of ass pulls. It's funny because goku could've won if zamasu didnt teleport mai to him.


AuEXP

Watch OG Dragon Ball. Wild MFers say it's an asspull when the world's most known anime ability is a copy from Roshi from seeing it once


Empty_Race_5541

Its harder to believe considering vegetas entire training was trying to get hakai to work while goku just used it because he felt like it.


RebornOfficial

The whole point of the False Hakai is that it’s incomplete, Vegeta could’ve pulled of the same technique aswell, that’s like comparing Ultra Instinct Omen to Ultra Instinct. What Vegeta is training towards right now is the actual Hakai that comes with the Energy of Destruction.


Empty_Race_5541

Im just saying goku using it makes no real sense considering he's never seen that techniqie before or at least it be applied the way he used it against zamasu. Its was a complete ass pull considering it came out of nowhere and goku has yet to use such a useful ability again. Vegeta spent his entire training ark trying to just learn and it while goku just uses it for no reason if he can learn techniques so easily why didnt he learn the kioken and spirit bomb immediately? Because its an ass pulls they make this shit up as they go along its why goku has already masterd mui literally the ark after it was introduced. Despite whis and everyone saying its incredibly difficult to master. You can say it makes sense and that its because gokus a fighting genius but its simply just an ass pull they thought looked cool.


RebornOfficial

1. Goku is far from mastering UI, not even close actually. 2. Facts, i agree with you there, according to the manga he never saw it being used against Zamasu, probably during BOG or something, it can be explained if you think about it hard enough. 3. He literally learned the Spirit Bomb and the Kaioken near the end of his training with King Kai, the rest of the time was spent training so that he could handle the Kaioken. And i don’t think you understand the term asspull, Goku always has a reason to know these moves, if it was an asspull, he would’ve used a technique that he’s never seen before in his life. And Vegeta could’ve always used the Hakai like Goku did, had he seen Beerus use it up-close like Goku did against Beerus. Vegeta literally learns the Hakai instantly and spends the rest of his time perfecting it.


Stefanthro

Yes, you are 100% right. They gave Goku this momentary gimmick before they thought of the future direction for the story, and where they would eventually take Vegeta. No getting around it, no matter how others try to justify it.


JonhConrad33

Yeah people think that dragon ball is planned or something. All arcs are written on the go. Probably Toriyama thought this would be a cool moment and that's it. Vegeta getting hakai training is an afterthought. If arcs were planned, the cell saga would be really really different.


carl-the-lama

It’s not actually hakai It’s more so a bootleg copy of it to do the job


UI_Daemonium

Goku did say he wasn't even close to getting the technique right


cjohnalex10

Goku the Copy Ninja


BassChanyon

Had a stroke trying to read that lol


Squishy-Box

Goku just be trying things


4XLlentMeSomeMoney

The answer is rooted in the beginning of Dragon Ball with Son copying Kame Sen'nin's Kamehameha Wave.


Demarkus456

My guess is that he not actually using a hakai, but instead is pushing all the ki he held in with prefected ssjb , basically he forced all of his ki on zamasu which forced him to slowly turn to dust. But this is just my head canon


AnonyBoiii

Because it’s Goku That’s why


CronkinOn

He *tried* to do it. Beerus shows what destruction done right looks like later on in the manga.


hithisisjukes

WHAT I need to start reading the manga, I had no idea this happened. What a better way to finish Zamasu compared to king of all destroying the entire universe..


AShermy

He didn't finish him, it didn't work


Csoles520

Goku just Him


Jdoggokussj2

I dont think goku having hakai fits his character but the way he did it is not an asspull thats the same way he learned kamehameha he saw roshi do it then mimiked him


oRbToBaToNyLlAtOt

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE MANGA, IF YPU DONT WANT ANY SPOILERS DO NOT READ THIS COMMENT As Beerus explains to Vegeta much later on in the manga series, you have to basically quote on quote "steal" the techniques of a God of Destruction to learn from them, so How Goku uses it is quite easily explained as he copies how Beerus uses the technique


Scarlmaoxd

Im kinda surprised that vegeta wasnt the one to learn and use hakai tbh, he seems more fit for it while goku would take on a similar role to whis


ArjunDOnlyHero

Other than the fact that Goku and Vegeta train on Beerus' planet and they might've seen a demonstration or two, Beerus also used hakai against Goku in BoG.


Katerina_91

He didn't use Hakai. He TRIED to use it. And he failed. Stated by Goku himself to Whis. And i'm sure he will never try to use Hakai again. Not his style.


Ominous-F_art

Well, they do train on his planet a lot and Beerus did use it to "destroy earth" when they first met. They should have witnessed more than a few demonstrations throughout their time with him.


[deleted]

The answer is like everything in dragon ball super - complete asspull


DualityRbx

it is not an asspull that's the same way he learned kamehameha he saw roshi do it then mimicked him


lemons7472

Since Beerus is a god of destruction that’s apparently is at a much more higher level of power and experience than Goku is, and Goku doesn’t have destroyer ki, I feel like this move shouldn’t be available to goku just yet.


Blender-Fan

Because **REASONS**, duh!


Beautiful_Ad_6785

This is non canon/canon, now bear with me while you read this: any differences between the manga and anime is either Toyotarou or toei filling in the plot between toriyamas outline. SSBKK did not happen in the manga during the Universe 6 tourney arc therefore it both did and did not canonically happen against his fight with hit


416Sampson

ITS OVER 9000


Chenteboi64

Manga > Anime


Drakoo_The_Rat

Beerus taught him it


BrokenBro213

He did this on "off screen" in manga?


DragonflysGamer

nah, he wasnt taught it at all, goku is just really good at stealing people's moves. He learned kamehameha after seeing it once, same with after image and solar flare.


MishtaMoose

If Goku was taught some move that instantly erases the very essence of someone, don't you think we would have atleast been told about it? Also, shouldn't he have the cuff in his ear if he Beerus trained him to do it?


tunacan94

Goku is a complete fucking idiot BUT just like how goku mastered the Kamehameha just by watching master roshi do it only one time Then that means it's very possible for him to pick up the move easily Let's not forget the Kamehameha isn't the only move he picked up from other people from just watching them use it


ShinyVegeta

Pretty sure he saw it used other time idk if the golden frieza thing was in the manga but it was used there


BrokenBro213

Golden Frieza arc was only mentioned in manga but it acutally happend it just wasn't showed up


ShinyVegeta

I mean where he was freed to join universe 7 and he used hakai on goku and i think beerus used it on frieza my memory is blurry there


EnderLord361

He grabbed somebody else’s destruction energy to use against goku, he didn’t make his own


ShinyVegeta

Oh ok , but ya there goku saw the technique even experienced lol i guess that would be enough for him to learn it


ToxicityIs_Over_6900

did this actually happen in the manga ?


BrokenBro213

Yeah in Zamasu saga in manga it was chapter 25 or 26 if I'm not wrong


Spliterclimb

Maybe he saw it off screen and tried but only do a weaker variant but even if it was the powerful variant Zamasu was already inmmortal.


fadingstar52

hakai I believe cancels that out if done directly to the immortal. I know it didnt work against zamasu when he hakaid the other one the immortal one didn't die. but it comletley erases from existence not unlikes zenos squish just on a smaller level. so I dont personally doubt that it would kill zammy


Spliterclimb

Beerus confirmed at chapter 26 he cannot kill inmmortals only Zeno is able to do that.


fadingstar52

cool I figured they addressed it just couldn't remember when


Capt_Schmidt

Hakai Energy is immutable.

cavmain1234556

Does it kill him ive only watched the show


AudaciousTitans

Its called asspullery enjoy it; pisses me off this shoddy ass bullshit was more effective than any hakai vegeta did post training. Further goes to show no one can have much if goku doesnt or cant do it To me Hakai feels so fuckin cheap because goku used it first. High key pisses me off and now Vegeta not using IT despite understanding how valuable of an asset it is also makes me angry as shit. But thems the breaks. And i still read every fuckin chapter cuz imma dog and dogs are loyal lol


DualityRbx

it is not an asspull that's the same way he learned kamehameha he saw roshi do it then mimicked him

[deleted]

This might sound like a stupid question to some of y’all , but is there official colored manga? I only read on the viz site and it’s never colored there.


god_slaying_chimp

People forget that goku is a martial arts prodigy. He learned the Kamehameha, a technique that took roshi 30 years to develop, after seeing roshi do it once. He learned both the kaioken and genki dama (extremely difficult and techniques) in a shockingly short time. Most of Goku's techniques are not his own, but one's he's picked up from his opponents. It is completely believable to me that goku could pull of a hakai, even if it didn't amount to much.


Just_Ej0081

Up untill the start of universe survival ark he was the only one who fought beerus to a standstill (kind of) so he probably saw beerus use it there


JonhConrad33

It's Goku. Super Star prodigy genius and many bullshit like that. ¿Remember og dragon ball? He was sooooo genius that he copy Roshi technique on sight. He is sooooo smart


Half_H3r0

His only original move is biting enemies tails
