Comparisons are hateful, but when it comes to talking about some of the most absurdly powerful characters in fiction, it’s impossible not to fantasize about who would break who’s brain. It is very possible that goku and superman actually decided to go to a park to spend the afternoon talking about their things with a bag of pipes in hand… But who would win if they were to confront each other?
The debate already has decades of arguments behind it, but it has been revived again with the premiere of “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” in the United States.
All right, as long as there is sunshine
Anime fans defend Goku tooth and nail, while comic fans do the same with Superman, of course. Sean Schemmelthe English voice of Goku, has also swept home on whether the protagonist of ‘Dragon Ball‘ would win the epic duel.
“The short answer is yes. And the long answer is yes, because Goku is a god,” Schemmel said in an interview with IGN. “There are two scenarios where this could happen: If Earth isn’t in danger, Goku would ask Superman to get close to the sun to get a full charge, and then fight him.”
“But if Earth was in danger, then I would fight him for as long as I could and then, if I wasn’t very successful, I would transport Superman to a planet without a yellow sun, whereupon he would lose his powers and Goku would win.” the bender
The debate is eternal, and beyond what Goku’s actor says, even from the DC comics we have been given some hint that the Man of Steel would have the losing side. In the 2003 Justice League/Avengers crossover scripted by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by George Perez we had a spectacular duel between Superman and Thor, which did not end too well for the God of Thunder.
According to Superman himself, in the DC universe the power dials go up to 11, while in the Marvel universe they only reach 10. If we apply this same thing to the world of ‘Dragon Ball’ where the dials reach 15…You don’t have to add up too much to see that Goku would still mop the floor with Superman, no matter how close to a yellow sun he is.
