The ages of Goku in each Dragon Ball saga are listed here. Goku and his buddies have aged along with the Dragon Ball franchise, which has been operating for approximately 40 years. This is how everything has so far turned out for Goku, according to the material available from the anime, manga, and other sources.
The fact that Goku has aged repeatedly throughout the course of the plot is one distinctive feature of Dragon Ball. Beginning as a small child, Goku later developed into a youngster, a teenager, a young adult with a family, and as of Dragon Ball Super, he has even attained the status of grandfather. Even though Goku’s physical look doesn’t always correspond to the stage of his life he’s in, it’s still admirable that Dragon Ball is a story that allows its characters to grow older.
This is how old Goku is meant to be in every saga, however he has aged significantly in Dragon Ball. Even though, notably in Dragon Ball Super, not every tale explicitly states how old Goku is meant to be, there is still enough evidence to draw a reasonable inference from the plot. It should be noted that only canon sagas will be mentioned here; therefore, references to Dragon Ball GT and other video games will not be made.

How Old Is Goku In The Universal Survival Saga?
Even though there are only a few weeks between the Future Trunks saga and the Universe Survival saga, Goku should have aged once more based on the events of Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Since the Dragon Balls were utilised in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, it is assumed that at least a year has passed since they were utilised to resurrect Frieza since Broly takes place immediately after the Tournament of Power. That allows it to be determined that Goku is roughly 47 years old during the Tournament of Power.
Why Goku Doesn’t Age
The most striking characteristic of Goku’s ageing in Dragon Ball is that, after he reaches full adulthood, his age seems to slow to a halt, with his body, strength, endurance, speed, and other talents remaining just as sharp as ever despite the fact that he’s theoretically approaching 50. This is due to Vegeta’s theory that pure-blooded Saiyans stop physically ageing once they achieve their physical peak, allowing them to battle for longer. The only physical change that occurs is a change in muscle mass. The fact that 80 is considered young for a Saiyan in Dragon Ball Super just served to reinforce this, making it very evident that Goku’s Saiyan physiology is the primary cause of his youthful appearance.
