How Goku managed to save his life thanks to his most absurd technique

Goku seems to know no limits in the escalation of his power, constantly achieving new transformations that allow him to surpass himself again and again, discovering new techniques, each one more devastating. Although there is an episode of ‘Dragon Ball GT’, the non-canon anime series within the universe created by Akira Toriyama, which shows us the most bizarre and absurd technique that Goku has performed. All this to save his life in a really critical moment.

Goku holds back tears to save his life

Thus, and as recalled by Screen Rant, in episode 30 of ‘Dragon Ball GT’, Goku finds himself in the middle of a giant game board in charge of Sugoro, a being from another world whose goal is to win ten thousand games of his game to escape a life sentence. However, for Goku, losing this game means death.

At a certain point, Sugoro makes a very special rule: players cannot cry if they don’t want to die irreparably. To make it even harder for Goku, he summons a handful of onions and slices them in front of Goku, causing the young Super Saiyan to cry.

However, Goku manages to develop a strange technique that not only suppresses his tears, but also sucks them back through his tear duct, making them disappear and thus saving his life. One of the most absurd and hilarious moments that the ‘Dragon Ball’ franchise has left us as part of the plot of ‘Dragon Ball GT’, proving that the Toei anime had some strange beginnings, to soon channel the situation and put on screen characters and fights at the level that the fans wanted.

The next in the saga of Goku and company will be ‘Dragon Ball Daima’ for October 2024, a new anime series as a spin-off in which all the main characters will be rejuvenated with a dark purpose.
