- [Narrator] So with the Dragon Ball Heroes anime
on the horizon, it's opened up so many doors for fans
to enjoy Dragon Ball Heroes content more so than ever before
and I know some people have been looking at
the promotional poster for the Prison Planet arc,
and on the very top of the poster you see clearly
Super Saiyan Four Goku versus Super Saiyan Blue,
and I know some people are wondering,
"Wait a minute why are there two Gokus?
"It's like I always wanted to see Blue versus Four,
"but why are there two Gokus in the same time space?"
Well on this video, I'm gonna give you an explanation of
Xeno Goku, his origin, where he came from,
and what his place is in Dragon Ball Heroes,
let's get to it next.

So those of you who are looking to find out more about
Dragon Ball Heroes and learn more about the lore of this
great video game universe,
I've created a playlist over on Geekdom101,
free to check out some of the older videos
I've done for the past three years
which cover some topics that I find very interesting
about the lore, the characters, and the storyline
of Dragon Ball Heroes,
so why are there two Gokus fighting?
Why are there even two Gokus?
Well the thing you have to understand first and foremost
about Heroes is that Dragon Ball Heroes storylines
are often based on alternate timelines,
very much like Xenoverse, the Supreme Kai of Time is there,
the Time Patrol is there, you know the elements of
Xenoverse that many of you are familiar with
are already in this game,
but they take it to a whole new level.
So who is Xeno Goku or Goku Xeno, Xeno Goku,
well another name for him is also Time Patrol Goku,
and one thing we have to make clear is that
Time Patrol Trunks from the video games
is not the same Trunks from Dragon Ball Super,
so the way that Dragon Ball Heroes is structured
is that there are literally tons and tons
of different continuities so everything,
I hate to use this word, but everything is canon,
they borrowed little bits and pieces
from different universes and different alternate timelines
to create this huge hodgepodge of just Dragon Ball insanity.
So imagine the events of GT happened in one time line,
then the events of Super happened in another timeline,
but they're not necessarily timelines in the same way
that they are in the Dragon Ball main continuity,
they're just different sort of continuities
that all converge in the video game world,
which is why it's best to just have fun with it,
and not overthink it, a lot of the elements in this game
are purely for fan service purposes.
So what is the origin of Xeno Goku,
is he from the Super timeline?
The GT timeline?
The answer is he's not really from either one.
Dragon Ball Heroes is filled with tons of
"What if" scenarios and "What if" timelines,
and that's what Goku Xeno is.
The origin of Time Patrol Goku really started with
the Dark Demon Realm Saga in the Dragon Ball Heroes manga,
where what happens is that the Demon God Demigra,
yes the same one from Xenoverse one appears at the
Time Nest, and the Supreme Kai of Time
tries to manifest the warrior to help her combat
against Demigra so she goes into Trunks memories,
Xeno Trunks' memories and pulls out Xeno Goku
to help Xeno Trunks.
So Xeno Goku's timeline is again an alternate story
where in this version of the events the Dragon Ball,
Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT stories all happen,
but with some twists for example,
Goku in this timeline has Super Saiyan Four,
but at one point, he actually taps into Super Saiyan God,
so the reason that he is seen as one of
the strongest Gokus ever, why Trunks sees him as that
is because what we have here is we have a character
that has the ability to tap into Super Saiyan Four,
but also has God Ki,
so just imagine the kind of power that this Goku has,
I mean it's ridiculously strong.
Now in this timeline, Goku did not sacrifice himself
against Cell, instead what happens is the events of the
Buu Saga do take place including the Fusion Reborn movie,
it's all in the same continuity,
but instead he gets killed by Towa at one point,
later on he comes back to life.
Now again a lot of this stuff is just fan service,
they didn't really put too much thought into it,
I find it interesting, but don't try to make sense of this,
because all of these "What if" scenarios don't really
make much sense when you actually put a lot of logical
thought into them, it's just that they came up with
for the game, it's not really something
that is that logical,
it's just wacky fan service,
but either way this version of Goku is very very powerful,
so much like Time Patrol Trunks,
Time Patrol Goku or Goku Xeno is a guy who goes back in time
to face the Mira and Towa screwing around with the timeline.
There's a part where Demon God Towa goes back in time,
and upgrades Frieza with the Dark Dragon Balls,
and this happens during the Namek Saga,
and Super Saiyan Goku at that time just could not handle
that kind of power so Goku Xeno had to go back in time
and save Dragon Ball Z Goku from this new threat,
so you've got different Gokus teaming up together
to make sure the timeline doesn't get screwed up.
If you played Xenoverse you know about this kind of stuff.
Later on there's another mission where
Time Patrol Vegeta, Time Patrol Goku and Time Patrol Trunks
go back and fix the problems that the Dark Army
had tried to instill in the Buu Saga,
and this is when we first see Time Patrol Vegeta,
Vegeta Xeno and they were able to successfully defeat
Majin Buu, and fix the timeline,
at least that particular timeline.
The storylines involving Xeno Goku
really are mostly kind of the same thing,
Mira and Towa are going back in time,
and what they're doing throughout the different eras
of Dragon Ball, and different timelines
is they're giving the established villains
this Dark Dragon Ball upgrade,
they did it with Frieza, with Buu, with Broly,
where they take the Black Star Dragon Balls,
and they figure out a way to harness the negative energy
in them and they put them in their chest to kind of give
them this huge power boost and again the concept is cool
as hell in my opinion I love that,
and it's kind of a unique twist as to what Mira and Towa
were doing in Xenoverse.
So what happens in the Prison Planet arc
of Dragon Ball Heroes, which may actually be what
gets adapted very very soon,
well what happens is and I've covered this in
my "History of Fu" video,
Fu is going around different time lines
and different universes and different eras
gathering together the strongest fighters that he can,
to do experiments on, so Goku, Xeno Goku runs into
the main timeline Dragon Ball Super Goku.
Now it's made unclear as to which part of Super,
this Goku belongs to, we're not sure if this is after the
Turn of Power or before, we're not really sure exactly when
this Goku, like where he comes from in the super timeline.
So Time Patrol Goku runs into Dragon Ball Super Goku
and they have a fight and here we see Time Patrol Goku
transforming into Super Saiyan Four,
and we're actually told before this
that he is forbidden from using this transformation,
because they could end up screwing around the timeline.
There's no actual reason given as to why,
but that's what we're told and he uses SS Four power
and then Goku from the Super timeline
goes into Super Saiyan Blue,
now understand Time Patrol Goku,
Xeno Goku has never seen Blue.
For some reason he was able to tap into God form
at one point, but he never saw Blue,
and it's not really explained why,
maybe it's because he felt like Four
was an efficient enough form,
maybe he never trained with Beerus and Whis,
which I think is pretty much implied that he never did,
to learn how to master his God Ki,
so Xeno Goku is shocked that his counterpart
is even stronger than him,
so yes in the Prison Planet arc,
Super Saiyan Blue Goku beat Super Saiyan Four Xeno Goku.
Some people have had a problem with this,
I didn't write this freaking game,
I have nothing to do with it, I'm just the messenger ,
and the reality is in the storyline,
Goku Xeno loses,
but either way you have to understand,
even though he was defeated by Blue Goku,
he still put up a great fight,
and it just goes to show that Super Saiyan Four with that
little bit of God Ki that he had,
'cause he can do both a 10 times Kamehameha,
and a God Kamehameha.
He has the ability to do both of them,
he's still really strong,
and it really makes you wonder
if they did do like a hybrid story
where you have both forms like God and Four working together
what kind of real power Goku would tap into,
the ideas are just mind boggling cool if you ask me,
and if you like fan service,
in the manga, there is a three way fight
between Time Patrol Goku, Mira like the fused Mira,
the Mira with Towa absorbed form Xenoverse two,
and Super Saiyan Four Dark Broly.
Yeah, it's kinda much to be honest with you, it's a lot.
But yeah to wrap this up,
Xeno Goku is just alternate timeline version of
Goku at the end of GT with the ability to tap into God Ki,
and he's is other than that, the same sort of background
as the main timeline Goku,
you know he's got the same parents,
he had the same story arcs except that after GT presumably
is when things got a little weird,
plus there were some small differences here and there,
like the whole thing I said about the Buu Saga,
and things like that.
Again people mistakenly say it's the same Goku
from the end of GT, but it's really not,
it's a different timeline Goku.
Again, it's just like in the comics,
you have different supermen,
and alternate timeline versions of different characters,
like alternate universes,
it's the same thing with Xeno Goku,
otherwise known as Time Patrol Goku,
and I'm pronouncing it Xeno,
you can pronounce it "zeno" or "zeeno",
it's X-E-N-O, like Xenoverse,
which is where the idea came from,
so no matter how you wanna pronounce it,
it's the same thing, Time Patrol Goku.
