Dragon Ball‘s Goku is one of the greatest heroes of manga and anime, and he’s often compared to Superman because of their similar alien backgrounds. But unlike the Man of Steel, Goku was sent to destroy humanity to pave the way for a planetary conquest. Goku took a more heroic path, but a new Grand Theft Auto V mod is unleashing Goku’s might upon the unsuspecting citizens of Los Santos. And as you can see in the footage, there’s no one who can challenge Goku in this reality.
Via Kotaku and PC Gamer, this GTA V mod was created by JulioNIB, and he’s done a remarkable job of bringing Goku’s destructive power to life within the game. This is just a video of the work-in-progress mod, but Goku’s Destructo Disc appears to have been faithfully recreated. And there is something truly unsettling about seeing Goku indiscriminately use his powers without his signature mercy or kindness.
This mod does make a strong case for dropping the Dragon Ball characters into a GTA V style sandbox city and letting them explore or fight each other. Using Goku’s abilities looks like it would be fun for a while, but imagine how much better it could be if there were other characters who were also on his level. Those could give us some epic Dragon Ball battles on a scale that we’ve rarely seen in video games.
