You keep coming back to feats and scaling, but I think you're still missing the heart of it. Let's say Anos is galaxy level—fine. Goku's been universal for years now, and that's just Dragon Ball Super. But you know what? Even if Anos somehow scaled higher, I'd still pick Goku. Because Goku's power feels earned. Anos was handed his. Every fight Anos is in, the outcome is never in doubt. That gets boring fast. Goku's best moments come when he's pushed to the edge, when he has to dig deep. You mentioned hax not working on higher beings, and sure, that's a common trope. But even if Anos's hax worked perfectly, Goku's whole deal is surpassing impossible odds. Anos is a solved equation from page one. Goku's an open question. That's more interesting to me, every time.
