Drip Goku began as a fan edit of Goku from Dragon Ball wearing contemporary street fashion, and the image quickly spread across social media as a symbol of cool confidence. Editors turned the joke into a recurring format, pairing stills and clips with a short swaggering audio cue whenever a character arrived looking untouchable. This goku drip version is one of many reuploads shared on soundboards for quick reuse in edits. It remains popular because it combines anime nostalgia, fashion humour and an instantly readable flex in under five seconds.
