Following the wish for his revival from the Dragon Balls, Goku continues to face other enemies thereafter linked to his heritage, such as Vegeta and Freeza. As the series continues, the focus on Goku's past is shifted away from as new enemies are introduced simply as threats to the fictional universe.

Goku, or Son Goku, is one of the central characters of Tezuka's adaptations of the Chinese legend of "Hsi Yu Chi," or "Journey to the West," a title usually seen rendered in Japanese as "Saiyuki." Tezuka's portrayal of the character, in the My Son Goku manga which began in 1952 and in both films of the 1960's, long predate such famous animated adaptations of this legend as Dragonball Z and the more recent Saiyuki: Journey to Extremes manga and anime. In the manga, as in the original legend, Goku is the Monkey King, born 2000 years ago on the top of Mount Kaka. He is wise enough to learn magic from a hermit, and then he eventually becomes arrogant in his wisdom and power. He begins to rage against the rules of heaven, and flouts enough of those rules that he is sent to a stone prison from which he cannot escape. While he waits there, a high-ranking priest, Sanzo Hoshi (character profile coming soon), is sent to Tenjiku (the western country, India) to receive a special piece of Buddhist scripture.
Seven years after the events of Cell, Goku is given permission to return to Earth for one day to participate in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai. During this time, he discovers that he has a second child named Son Goten. Goku's peaceful day on Earth is interrupted by the appearance of the Lord of Lords (Kaioshin), who informs Goku of a Universal threat that has been dormant on Earth for millions of years. The monster named Majin Buu lies dormant on Earth, attempting to be revived by the evil wizard named Babidi. Goku and the Z fighters attempt to stop Babidi from reviving Buu... Babidi uses his magic to expose the evil in Vegeta's heart. Vegeta then fights Goku, and as a result, Buu is revived during this time.
Son Goku is ... known as "Monkey" or "Monkey King" from Chinese Mythology. He appears in two stories, "Monkey King" and "Journey to the West". He is said to be a monkey with golden eyes who ruled over several other monkeys, gained strength and knowledge from sages and scholars, wished to be immortal and was imprisoned and then released to escort Genjo Sanzo in retrieving the Sutras as commanded by Kuan Yin.
