TheDragon Ballfranchise has consistently introduced characters and transformations that capture the imagination of fans worldwide. Be it in the canon (manga and anime) or through movies, like the LSSJ Broly or SSJ 4, the power levels have been scaled each time.
Among all the “What If…?” scenarios fans have pondered regarding the various combinations of the powers, transformations, and circumstances, one possibility among them stands out as both thrilling and terrifying: what if Goku, the epitome of purity and strength, were corrupted by Babidi’s Majin magic?
This hypothetical concept takes Goku’s unparalleled power and places it in the hands of an evil mastermind, raising the stakes as well as Goku’s destructive capacities to the epitome. Let us delve in and understand this in detail.
Majin Goku would have his Saiyan instincts unleashed
The Majin transformation, famously seen in Vegeta during theDragon Ball Z“Buu Saga,” unlocks dormant potential by feeding off the negative emotions inside a person, like anger and pride.
Goku has been stated to be a pure and clear-hearted individual, but when it becomes a ‘what if’ situation, then the inhibited and deeply hidden warmonger and bloodthirsty Saiyan bloodline’s influence could be enough for Babidi to work the Majin seal and take control of Goku.
While Vegeta embraced it tosettle his rivalry with Goku(his own darkness lies in his pride and arrogance), the thought of Goku succumbing to the same spell offers an entirely different narrative.
Goku would be a devastating force if his Saiyan instincts were unleashed without restraint. Goku has always been a warrior driven by his love for battle, but his sense of justice and self-control ensures he fights for the right reasons.
A Majin Goku, however, would remove this moral compass, leaving behind a fighter solely guided by his Saiyan instincts.

This would mean he would go head to head and trade blows with barely a care for his own safety or that of any bystanders.
Expanding Dragon Ball’s Lore Through the Majin Arc
Imagine Goku in his most powerful forms,like Super Saiyan 3, enhanced by the Majin mark. His raw power could surpass the gods themselves and pose an existential threat to not only his allies but the very universe.
Babidi’s magic could turn Goku’s competitive drive into a destructive force, dwarfing thechaos wrought by Majin Vegeta. Goku’s SSJ 3 has the problems of Ki control, with Babidi’s Majin mark, the transformation could head to a lossless and perfected state.

Introducing Majin Goku would also open doors to new storylines that expandDragon Ball’suniverse. Babidi’s magic originates from the Demon Realm, and Goku’s corruption could lead to a deeper exploration of this dark and mysterious domain.
