Who Are Senku Ishigami and Goku?
Before we pit them against each other, let’s dig a bit deeper into who Senku and Goku are.
Starting with the leader of the Kingdom of Science, Senku is the main character of the Dr. Stone series.
After his awakening in the Stone World, he vows to rebuild civilization and bring back the glorious days of humanity and science.
Senku’s abilities revolve around his brain power. He is an intelligent guy with encyclopedic knowledge.
He is curious by nature and a great problem-solver. Senku knows plenty about physics, chemistry, biology, math, and engineering.
While he is weak in the physical ability department, he makes up for it with his sheer drive to achieve things.
Moreover, Senku is almost unkillable thanks to the Revival Fluid.
Senku is also known to be a noted strategist and it was showcased when he was able to convert a few of Tsukasa’s comrades to his side by fighting a bloodless war.
On the other side of the ring, we have our Super Saiyan and the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball series – Goku.
He was sent to Earth by his parents when he was just a baby. Goku later ended up becoming the greatest defender of the planet.
Goku is easily one of the strongest warriors and is often called the most powerful in Universe 7.
He has a natural drive to fight and after relentless training, his powers have reached unimaginable levels.
From Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan Blue, Goku can transform into these fantastical and terrifying powerful forms.
Can Senku, a common mortal (kind of), win a battle against the mighty Goku?
Goku vs. Senku: Who Will Win?
From the initial looks, it appears Goku can easily smash Senku into oblivion without even stretching a muscle.
But, what if, Senku gets, say a million years to prepare for this battle of a lifetime?
And since Senku can always revive himself, he can make use of these million years to advance his technology using science.
He can make use of advanced technology to create weapons that can force Goku to bow down before the king of the Kingdom of Science.
However, Goku, who is a skilled combatant, will not go down without a fight. In fact, Goku loves such challenging opponents.
On the other hand, Senku, who rediscovered fire and reinvented dynamo in the Stone World, can build his own army of robots to tackle Goku.
Moreover, Senku can fight dirty and use the power of science to drive Goku on the path of insanity.
He can use bio-warfare tactics against the Saiyan or devise a way to make him go weak from the inside.
But Senku might not go down this ugly path because of his principles. He probably would just use his knowledge of chemistry to make Senku Cola.
Despite all the advancements in technology, Goku’s powers and abilities are still endless.
And if Senku fights a fair fight, he doesn’t seem to stand a chance against Goku.
