Goku vs Kenshiro

Random encounter

No one is blood lusted

No BFR

Round one: Kenshiro doesn't have Muso Tensei.

Round two: Goku has Kaio-ken times 5 Kenshiro has Muso Tensei.

Win by kill or KO

Who wins and why?

Team.

Team.

They outclasses him in ranged attacks.

Moreover their durability and speed are better imo.

Ken is outmatched everywhere but h2h.

What feats are they allowed? Kenshiro can boost his durability with chi but in the anime he's been hit with a girder and it bent around him, same with a larger boulder. Team DBZ'S speed and projectile capability is too much.

HNK Masters can be wounded by bullets even they can avoid some.

Kenshiro can block a 9mm bullet by contrating his muscles.

Kid Goku is bulletproof to the point that shooting him in the head do him nothing.

Even if the Hokuto Shinken is the ultimate assassination technique it doesn't matter here : the powerscaling in DBZ is too much.

Goku

Wait..the OP doesn't make sense. Goku was at two completely different power levels when he fought Raditz and Vegeta.

@realitywarper: Kid Goku was still ab l e to get smacked around by people who did not have that durability.Kenny knows pressure points. If he doesn't make him explode, he could still in cap him or at least cause pain. Carrot Cake isn't invincible.

I know all of this.

FOTNS is the manga that I know the best by far.

I'm reading it since 14 years.

My point isn't there.

@marshall_long: @notatreeabush: @juiceboks: @darthaznable: @realitywarper: @the_caped_crusader: I think the OP was confusing. This is meant to be Goku during Raditz saga and after her comes back from snakeway.

I'm just gonna say too close to call.

Goku both rounds.

Kenshiro is an awesome character. And unfortunately he is a bit underrated and even obscure (ask your friends if they even know who is and see for yourself). But battle-wise Goku surpasses Kenshiro in every way accept maybe H2H skill. Even with Muso Tensei he isn't hurting Goku after learning how to use Kaioken. Because he is simply too durable. I remember in a Superman vs Kenshiro thread this was actually addressed. Unless Muso Tensei literally bypasses durability/mass he isn't going to hurt Goku at that point. Goku at that point has moon+++ durability. I don't even know if Ken can hurt anyone with just moon level durability. It all depends on if Muso Tensei bypasses durability/mass. But even IF it could. Goku is quite a bit faster than Ken. I personally believe Raditz was FTL. And Goku could literally one-shot and even blitz Raditz after learning the Kaioken.

GOku

Definitely Goku.

I am giving both rounds to Kenshiro unless they are consecutive. In the time it would take Goku to feel out his new found enemy, he would "already be dead."

Bump

Goku has the massive advantage in everything

Kenshiro h2h combat speed is only fast when using certain hokuto techniques. Even then, he can only perform most of them while standing stationary. Goku could dance circles around him and put him down with a single blow.

Musou tensei will only prolong Kenshiro defeat.

Yes, HNK(Fist of the North Star) of any Hokuto and Nanto branch are strong and the practioners at the top branches of Hokuto and Nanto are total monsters. I won't say they are Goku-level but they're still strong as I-don't-know-what

@mee09: how was Raditz FTL

Goku

Goku.

Goku.

He just prolongs the inevitable.

Take note this is Early Goku vs EOS Kenshiro.

Fairly shocked that so many stand behind Kenshiro in skill. Dude has no divine training at all, I mean...Goku's skill moved beyond anything found on Earth when he was still a teenager. Not saying either side is right or wrong, but I feel like the guy who beats up Gods and deities is the one that has more H2H skill. I consider Goku the most potently skilled warrior in all of anime, and you have to go to Marvel and DC to find slightly better hand to hand fighters.

Goku both Rounds.
