Earth Warriors
Registered records for Goku before world filtering: death 2, revival 2, killing 9. Counts describe entries, not people or lifetime totals. Death sources include Chapter 204 and Chapter 412.
The filter uses the world where the event occurred, not the character’s origin. Distinct future branches remain separate entries.

Goku's grandfather died after being crushed by Goku in his Great Ape form. The statement in Chapter 1 that he was already dead, the explanation of the Great Ape in Chapter 21, and Goku's realization in Chapter 233 that he was responsible are combined as the same past death. This is not a record that Goku intentionally killed his grandfather.

These notes preserve uncertainty or explain a counting boundary. They are not added to death or revival totals.
After Piccolo determines that Goku's heart has stopped and that he is dead, Goku groans and Yajirobe confirms that his heart has begun beating again. This site treats this brief cardiac arrest and spontaneous recovery separately from ordinary death and revival counts. It does not definitively classify the scene as a mere loss of consciousness or as one in which the original manga denies that he died. This note explains the counting standard.
