He's died, but never by being *beat* he's committed suicide twice (letting piccolo shoot him is counted as suicide) and then just died from too much bacon once.
But never cos he's been beat.

I'm sorry, Jon.

Everybody beats goku at least once, Goku has the plot device called Zenkai boost that gives him a power boost after getting his ass whupped. Goku is a model of willpower and focus, he isn't unbeatable, he will just come back and fuck you up after you beat his ass.

When asked in the reply once if I could be anybody in the world, some said Elon some said labron, I said Goku

Hmm... guess he's never heard of Saitama.

So.... What are we talking about here; fist fight, or eating competition?

Shaggy could beat Goku

Multiversus leaning into the Shaggy memes makes me sad it got shitcanned.

And yet, Hoku has never once defeated Jackie Chun...

...on the other hand Goku never turned out to be an asshole later in life.

Goku has, canonically, at full current power, been defeated by 3 different opponents (Jiren, Broly, Vegeta) and has expressed a view that he would lose to 1 opponent he hasn't fought at his currently level (Beerus).
Crowlands
Don't forget Zeno.
Jarjarthejedi
True. Arguable if anything involving Zeno could be called a fight, but Goku definitely believes he would not win in a conflict with Zeno.

List of people who beat Goku, Roshi, Tien, Piccolo (kill's a kill), Android 19, High Cholesterol, Majin Vegeta even though Goku held back (win's a win). And that's just the first two series
TheBeastlyBeauty
And there's even more if you count times tricked. It's the reason why Superman would win in a Superman vs Goku fight, like yeah comparatively Goku is way stronger, but Sups would outwit Goku and manage to come away with the W. And I say that as a diehard fan of Dragonball.
Cycocidal
Goku lost his fight against vegeta when they first met. Took goku, krillin, gohan and yajirobi. Vegeta considers it a loss only because of his pride and mission failed.
Trelis
Also Nobody, didn't you read the post?
LaronX
Heart Virus. But close enough. Goku like many fun to watch protagonist needs to overcome the odds otherwise it be boring that the most dedicated numbskull in the universe dedicated to training just one shots everyone. He should be what Jiren ist in Super, but that would make for a terrible show.
PestlePesterer
He lost to yamcha too (even if he was hungry at the time)
insaaanity
You don't have to put a qualifier on it if you include the elder Piccolo during their first fight. Also, you missed the Pilaf gang that imprisoned him, Tao Pai Pai, Mr. Popo, arguably Cpt. Ginyu, Cell (twice) & arguably Majin Buu and probably one or two more I can't recall right now.
Indeedwearethedead
The cholesterol got me! And probably will get my heart as well
BigRobbo
Excuse me!!! He didn't lose to Roshi, he lost to Jackie Chun the man who invented the slightly different Kamehameha Wave. I'd say he also lost against Cell since he gave up. He lost against Buu aswell and was only able to win because Vegeta came up with a plan.
SanchoBlackout69
His fight with ginyu was a loss
vegivamp
I don't agree on that particular count. Ginyu merely assumed he had won after the body swap and left, but Goku never surrendered, and took him by surprise afterwards.
TheManWhoStaresAtTurtles
Mercenary Tao and Tambourine slapped his shit in Dragonball as well. Beerus also beat him twice in at least the BoG movie (which was still a Z film, not Super, and had Toriyama's direct supervision unlike most films). Vegeta also crushed Goku into a paraplegic in their first fight, since it took Yajirobe/Krillin/Gohan to finish it.
He's lost at least 10 times.
NappaTheFriendlyGhost
It’s kind of the point of his character really. Goku is the hero who keeps getting back up not the hero who never loses. Me. Satan is the one who never lost.
drakcor
I also count Pilaf wishing him into a kid as a slight win cause Goku then had to explain to everyone why he looked like was 12 again. Also Chi Chi cause that is the only person Goku truly fears.
meganical
High Cholesterol? When was that? Bruh ate like Patrick Star for every meal since birth
MechKelly
Heart virus, not high cholesterol.
drakcor
Technically he beats it but heart disease during the android saga, aka make everyone else feel useful now that there's more super saiyans
TheLastBootyBender
Original timeline, Goku dies of heart disease, isn't there to fight the androids, trunks goes back in time with medicine for him.
MechKelly
Trunks said it was a virus, not cholesterol.
Sonicschilidogs
Heart Virus, but, as others mentioned, the Team Four Star Abridged version of Z has it as a heart attack.
RumailMaxlowBaronVonAlabasterSerenitydePeriwinkleXXIII
True, but the Team Four Star version is so good sometimes people confuse their jokes with canon. They changed it to a cholesterol med.
certifiedllama
It's funnier this way shhh
drakcor
Yeah but high cholesterol would be funnier and make sense with how much he eats.
spookymormonhelldream
Is the medicine grape flavored?
EBlade19889
IT'S BACIN FLAVORED
IconicM
Grape flavoring was the real villain all along.
teberoth
Goku's more like a soulsborn player than anything else: fight, die, res, grind, repeat until victory.
Vysard
Stealing stuff from other fighters, too. Usually techniques. One time, sunglasses.
Raileks
Remember that time he stole Freiza's strategy of beating a legendary super sayain by leaving them to die on a planet about to explode?
Freemasonry
I... I guess he did do that, yeah
vegivamp
Well, that Saiyan then stole frieza's technique of coming back as a cyborg, so I guess that makes them even.

It's always interesting to see the contrast of "I've trained longer and harder than anybody to get my power" stories with "I've suddenly found myself with incredible powers!" stories.
Fuzzynubz
Why not both? https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1NWZoa283Zm54OWFtY3NkMGFyajZreGxvcmJpcmo2MWxycmxxNnBqcyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/3o6Ztbi66nkovK0ACY/200w.webp
ThatLoserTheFourth
Tried opening the gif to get a better look and I uh.. I don't think that's right
Fuzzynubz
What? Its daredevil lol
UristImiknorris
So you're saying he gets beat but doesn't stay beat.
Sageypie
Actually a canonical reason why he wins in the end. Toriyama added a bit of lore that says saiyans get a huge power boost everytime they're beaten to the brink of death. So that's why he can come back and beat opponents after they've absolutely rocked his shit.
vegivamp
Yep, that's been established not all that long after the Saiyans first arrived. In fact, when Goku was in the first capsule corp spaceship in the way to Namek, he actively used that to train himself to almost death in enhanced gravity and restore himself with a senzu bean. Almost actually killed himself a couple times, and by the time he got to Namek he was basically living full-time in 100x gravity.
drakcor
Oh believe me I know that, he wins the war but the battles well we can't win them all. 😂
eathotdog
He gets knocked down
Wolvenlight
But he gets up again.
Emrys12
They're never gonna bring him down
