<p>In the God of Destruction Beerus saga of Dragon Ball Super we see Goku heals from a mortal wound made by Beerus when transformed in Super Saiyan God. But in the Golden Freezer saga we see Goku being wounded to death by Freezer when fighting in Super Saiyan Blue. He does nothing to recover himself when he could have used the Super Saiyan God transformation to heal himself.</p>
<p>Why didn't Goku use Super Saiyan God's regenerative abilities to recover from Freezer's deathly blow?</p>
