He's one of the only major requests who still hasn't gotten in. It's inevitable.

Unless someone else makes it he doesn't fit Sakurai's stated rules

Then let's get Android 21. She originated in a video game.

Kiryu from Yakuza deserves to be in over Goku. Goku is an anime character. The rules are they only use video game characters
Kiryu won't punch a lady. That's why he won't be in Tekken.
his comparison suggests we're closet african americans.

Honestly, I see it happening eventually. Maybe not the next game, but at some point in the future, Goku will join Smash.

The main thing holding Goku back isn't necessarily his non-game origins (though that's a big one right now), but that so many companies are involved with the Dragon Ball IP (Bird Studios, Shueisha, Toei, Fuji TV, Viz Media, and Funimation and the other the various dubbing studios around the world), so that navigating through it all would be a pain.

True, but Sakurai won't be around forever. Hell, there's a chance he may not come back for the next Smash game.

The next guy in charge may not have such a rule, or maybe due to being a newbie at the role, Nintendo could more easily flex their muscles to get their way on things, which may include adding Goku to the game.

This is a decent argument, but I think they can make it work. If they could get the rights to use Sora (minus all the Disney characters) then they can figure out Goku. Goku's been in tons of games with various publishers and developers over the years. The license can't be that complicated.

That's what Toshihiro Nagoshi said. However he no longer works at Sega so his opinion doesn't matter

Worst case, they can give him a condition where he can't deal damage to female opponents. They do that with Sanji in Pirate Warriors 4, and they give you a warning if you choose him for a mission with female enemies involved.

I won an account bet because of a guy being adamant that Goku would definitely get into the last smash. Good times.

Well obviously he wouldn't get into that one. That's because they're saving him for this one.

Is there even a non-video game character in Smash?

I've seen people argue Lucario because the movie came out a year before Gen 4's actual games did
he is too strong to be in smash

Also worth noting that Sakurai himself wanted to add James Bond to Melee

Geno seems likely now but it'd be super funny if Mallow got in instead

Technically, R.O.B., but he is Nintendo-adjacent since they made the damn thing.

Here's a real question: What if Nintendo created an original IP that is only an anime? Should that character join Smash?
