The Saiyan warrior known as Dragon Ball Super’s most powerful fighter, with his Super Saiyan Blue transformation allowing him to push past his limits and command a level of strength unheard of in Dragon Ball lore. Now, thanks to the nerd community, new fanart depicts the moment when Goku broke through his ceiling after adding the incredible power of Kaioken to his already dominant Super Saiyan Blue form!

A new take on an iconic Dragon Ball Super scene shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Kakeru (@DBSKAKERU1), this artist consistently s Dragon Ball-related images that adapt the series’ best moments and many others original to Kakeru.

Posting countless pieces of Akira Toriyama-level artwork over the years, Kakeru has drawn Super Saiyan 3 Goku readying a Dragon Fist, Broly going Super Saiyan Blue, Orange Piccolo fighting Perfect Cell Max, Beast Gohan sparring with Ultra Instinct Goku, Chi-Chi in warrior mode, and more, with this latest Goku fanart doing the character’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken times ten form justice.

Super Saiyan Blue Goku Fanart Shows His Mastery Over the Kaioken Technique

Unlocking this incredible power in episode 39 of Dragon Ball Super during his Universe 6 vs. Universe 7 battle against the time-skipping warrior known as Hit, Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken times ten was a last-ditch effort to combat a foe who had Goku beat in of raw speed and technique utilization. Needing to push himself even further, Goku takes a risk and stacks not one but ten levels of Kaioken power on top of his already demanding Super Saiyan Blue form — an added technique that could destroy his body if not handled properly.

Putting a unique visual spin on Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken, Kakeru sketches Goku infusing his left leg with red energy as he stomps the ground with enough power to shatter it, keeping the rest of his body poised and ready for battle. Pulsing with a blue aura everywhere else, Kakeru gives Goku a determined smirk and colors the image with lighter hues, paying homage to the art stylings of Dragon Ball Super's current artist, Toyotarou. Throw in some crackling and smoke effects to emphasize Goku’s immense power, and Kakeru’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken design is one that fans shouldn’t miss.

Goku Pushes His Limits in New Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken Fanart

Goku used this t Super Saiyan Blue/Kaioken combo a few more times in Dragon Ball Super — specifically when he utilizes Kaioken times twenty against Jiren in the Tournament of Power — but it remains to be seen if this same approach could be applied to the god-like ability that is Goku’s Ultra Instinct technique. It stands to reason that the more chaotic Kaioken ability would contradict the free-flowing and intuition-based Ultra Instinct but with Kakeru’s (@DBSKAKERU1) penchant for creating inventive “What If?” Dragon Ball Super art, it’s possible fans could see this unique take on Goku sooner rather than later.
