    Quick word on Kaioken: It is not a transformation. It is a power-up. It will not be part of this series BUT I will give it its own video in the future, probably as a Dragon Ball In Depth video.

Obviously, he would never admit it and say he came up with it a different way, but if you look up how they talk about Super Saiyans and the Aryan race, you'll notice the similarities.

    Definitely had to put my 2 cents in on this one. “The power comes in response to a need, not a desire” “you must create that need, use the pain of lost.” If you complete the quote, what Goku is stating is a traumatic stress event that causes you to react to a situation vs, thinking up by just desiring something. Goku didn’t desire anything when he turned SSJ for the 1st time. He snapped, watching his best friend murdered after he gave everything he had with the spirit bomb. Goku was not only emotionally triggered, he was backed into a corner and he reacted in response ... that is what triggered his SSJ transformation. Which transformation is metaphorically in reality what we gain through that traumatic experience. We are never the same person again. Which originally when the SSJ was 1st introduced is why I feel in love with Dragonball. It took training, hard work and the emotional struggle through a traumatic experience to transform and change ourselves to be better, to be greater. And as the years gone by, the watered the transformation down for the simple pleasure of entertaining the kids for today... with this tingle bullshit and S-cells.

      @bluenitethewarrior9332 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That is fair. But the idea of actually being a cellular thing makes sense when explaing why the kids can transform and why a ssj hasnt appeared ever. Like you would think someone would reach the emotional level goku was. Backed against a wall. No options. A whole race and no one felt that? And secondly it was proven that you dont need a high power level to reach that point. Unless your vegeta who doesnt have that many s cells. He literally mutated his s cells. Its also why it took him so long. When realistically vegeta has been where goku has plenty of times before. Especially on namek. The og transformations are the best no question there. But how you explain when a kid transforms? And whenever someone transformed without that anger. Its obviously you using ki in a different way. So when dbs explained how you transformed every single time. Are you angered every time? Do you just remember that moment? It doesnt help alot when you think about it. It isnt magically there is a reason involving your ki. So explain that. What are you doing with your ki. Its actually really interesting.

    Nothing beats the first Super Saiyan transformation. When it happened it was unexpected and really otherworldly. After it had already been done once, continuing to stack more and more transformations on top of it, really just killed the specialness of being able to transform at all. But the panoply of transformation to come were greatly foreshadowed, when we kept watching Frieza transform over and over again, so it's fair to say, it was probably always in the mind of the creators, at least by the time DBZ arrived.

    10:20 - The way I always saw this was that the transformation is triggered by focusing your ki on your solar plexus chakra, but that there are two ways to do it. When you get angry you automatically and instinctively focus your ki there. Whereas, if you just know what you're doing and you're powerful enough, you can also simply choose to focus your ki there. This would also explain why the saiyans first can't become super saiyans at will but once they've experienced it for the first time they can learn to turn it on and off at will without requiring the same level of anger. Because once they experience the feeling of their anger concentrating their power in their solar plexus chakra, they know that's what you have to do. And so in the future they can learn to replicate that feeling with skill alone to transform at will. So, essentially, both would be doing the same thing but one instinctually while the other requires experience (or someone to tell you what the experience is like) and skill.

    Honestly I really like the whole S-cells thing. It explains the concept of Super Saiyan and also explains why none of the original Saiyans on planet Vegeta could transform and yet Goten and Trunks could. They likely inherited a lot of S-cells from their fathers. It's likely the rage thing causes Saiyans to tap into their S-cells, almost like a short cut.

Also, Goku and the other saiyans were the ones who assumed you needed rage, but they´re not scientists, they were talking out of experience and empirical knowledge.

      Michael Song A gentle person such as Gohan has low power but when he gets angry, his power explodes breaking limits he never shown before. S-Cells in this case is probably dormant energy that the body’s limiters need to experience before being capable of handling that strength. Turning into a Super Saiyan is an example of that even at the expense of a physical change via black hair turning gold, a small body becoming muscular to the point the body glows gold as well.

    Awesome video Geekdom. Thanks for everything you do. One thing though. Wasn’t it stated that one of the criteria’s for becoming a Super Saiyan was to first surpass your normal Saiyan limitations? Back when Goku was doing the gravity training in the space pod, the narrator said that all the training Goku did allowed him to break his normal limitations of power as a Saiyan. (This is DragonBall Kai by the way). Sort of like what Saitama did that allowed him to become so strong. This explains why Goku didn’t become a Super Saiyan when he was a kid. He didn’t break his Saiyan limiter. So I always thought that in order to to transform, you have to surpass your limitations in base form, and then experience extreme emotional distress. Captain Ginyu estimated that Goku’s actual power level was somewhere in the realm of 60,000, even though it was really at 90,000. So maybe the limit for most Saiyans biologically peaks at anywhere from 60,000 - 90,000. Probably a bit below 60,000 though. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. My apologies for the length of this comment.

    I always looked at it as the later Super Saiyans having witnessed and felt the power of the transformation had a baseline on what to do and imitate. The first Super Saiyan after so long was the right circumstances of randomly putting a complex puzzle together, with some knowing it goes together, but no one really knowing what the picture looks like. With everyone after Goku, they know what the picture looks like and have an idea how to train to get there.
    With Califla, she simply looked at it only from the perspective of matching and imitating Ki energy, not from imitating the emotional state to naturally get there. Kind of like someone learning the moves of Kung Fu by simply learning the moves who is a natural at it, and completely disregarding the emotional calmness of Mr. Miyagi is teaching.
    That's how I look at it at least.

      My problem with it is that Super Saiyan 4 very clearly goes in a total left-field direction from the previous transformations. It shouldn't have been named in a linear fashion if it required you to do a complete turnaround.
      "Well guys, Super Saiyan's had nothing to do with the tail for 3 whole transformations... Now you have to regrow your tail, turn into a golden ape, then Warp Digivolve to Super Saiyan 4."
      Should've called it something else that made it clear it wasn't in the straight progression of main Super Saiyan forms. Like... idk, Super Saiyan Wild or something.

    I get the same vibes as the Star Wars retcon, but it doesn’t bother me in the same way. I kinda like the explanation of a more peaceful environment creating more opportunities for a transformation to happen. It also (kinda) justifies how Bardock randomly became a Super Saiyan in his weird time travel special. That was a peaceful time for him, even if it was brief. Not to say I like that special, but it makes more sense now and I guess that’s what counts.

    Rage raises one's power, canonically, even without a transformation. Theres evidence of that literally everywhere.

    Honestly Goten and young Trunks(mainly Goten) turning Super Saiyan so early does make sense. Ive always said this myself, and as you mentioned in the video, Goku and Vegeta were way stronger than their parents when they were making babies. Goku was way stronger when he conceived Goten than when he conceived Gohan.
    ALSO, and most importantly in Goten's case, remember the few days before the Cell Tournament Goku and Gohan were living their normal life after they got out of the Room of Spirit & Time as Super Saiyans(but without any feelings of malevolence or anger). It is stated at the beginning of the Buu saga when Goten is introduced that this is the time period that Goku conceives Goten with Chichi, meaning Goku was IN Super Saiyan form when he got Chichi pregnant with Goten. The healthier/stronger/powerful you are when you have children the more likely that your children will be healthy/strong/powerful too.

    @cjkalandek996 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I do think the argument that there are separate ways of obtaining Super Saiyan is pretty relevant.
    Because my mom and I got into kinesiology after my dad passed away, as it not only helped us cope with the roller-coaster of emotions that we experienced afterwards, but helped us understand ourselves more and more. And one way of us knowing what's going on within is something called "Muscle-testing". Not so much a stress test, but by having someone lightly push down on your arm to see if it gives or not (if it gives, it's a yes) is a good way to get your body (and therefore, your subconscious) a simple yes or no question about what's going on and what you actually need. But after years of learning more and more about Muscle-testing, we learned there are simpler ways to do it on your own. For me, my current preferred way is when I ask myself a yes or no question, I feel a sort of rush or flex in my head if it's a yes.
    I know that probably sounds like bullshit to you guys, but honestly, kinesiology is based on Eastern medicine which has everything to do Hinduism, which is basically the source for all the powers in stuff like _Dragon Ball, Star Wars,_ and _Avatar: The Last Airbender._

  • @callmeinstead

    I always thought the transformation arose due to having a certain amount of strength, essentially as strong as Goku was when he fought Frieza, and some sort of emotional duress. Vegeta trained, became stronger than Goku was when he fought Frieza, and transformed. Future Trunks and kid Gohan were definitely strong enough, seeing as how at that point being as strong as Frieza wasn't much of an accomplishment. I highly doubt it's in any way far fetched to say Goten and Trunks were far stronger than Frieza when they transformed offscreen. Now, their "emotional duress" is debatable, but they were kids, so emotional duress from their perspective can be something as simple as getting punched in the damn face by your mom.

    Understanding one's self and being in control of ones emotions to the point where you can draw out great power definitely is someone with strong real world martial arts underpinnings. However, the whole S-cell thing is one retcon Toriyama probably should not have made to explain how certain people of achieve the power earlier in life and easier.
    It is easier to think of it as being something passed down genetically with each generation able to achieve power greater than the last. It is more likely that the thing needed to turn into a super saiyan reliability is a genetic trait that represents an evolutionary step forward from the saiyan race as a whole. As this genetic trait is passed down through the generations, turning super saiyan would require less and less effort. The problem is that the bloodline with the trait has to survive long enough to reach the point where the trait can manifest itself in someone.
    Because of the saiyans' warrior nature and need to fight this probably lead to many of those who could have had the trait dying before it could be passed on causing it to become something that was extremely rare among existing saiyans.

      I think S-Cells simply stand for Saiyan Cells. The more S-Cells you got, the stronger the Saiyan traits. Someone like Broly would then have a shit ton load of S-Cells.
      I assume the color of S-Cells are Green in nature. Which would explain why Broly has Green hair & Aura in his Legendary Super Saiyan form, which is said to be the True Super Saiyan form.

    My take on this transformation is that you have to have an incredible amount of power on top of being having large quantities of S Cells. As for the rage and other triggers, they exist as focal points for the transformation to happen. Also, I think that when Goku transformed, he overcame/ shattered some kind of wall within himself.
    It's similar to how Yusuke changed in the Dark Tournament after Kwabara's supposed death. Though there're no visible physical changes, in terms of power and personality, he becomes someone else. Similarly, when Goku had reached that peak of his abilities, he doesn't know how or what he was supposed to do. Thus he behaved like his usual self, resorting to tactics and techniques he is all too familiar with.
    However, Krillin's violent death flipped everything. At this point, he released everything he had at once and his metamorphosis took a physical turn. That is what becomes the Super Saiyan

    It just makes so much more sense in my opinion and explains so many different things if we just say that Saiyans get stronger depending on who they're around, provided they're already warriors. It also seems to be a greater effect when the powerful people they're around are also Saiyans. Goten and Trunks were surrounded by super Saiyans from birth, and the universe 6 Saiyans were suddenly exposed to incredibly powerful people. Even Broly makes a little more sense in this light. It's simple, avoids a lot of the mess of "S cells" and doesn't require any real retcon because it makes sense and kinda goes along with the idea of a zenkai boost.
