The battle against Vegeta and Nappa would have ended quite differently had Goku not used the power of the Kaio-Ken to bring himself up to the necessary level of power needed to save the earth, and years later the technique would return in the battle against Hit, where Goku would combine it with his Super Saiyan Blue form to reach new heights.īefore he could achieve the power of Super Saiyan, Goku achieved this incomplete state when battling against Lord Slug. Learned from and named after the legendary King Kai, this technique multiplies the user’s power and speed exponentially, putting such a strain on the body that Goku ended up being the only person to ever use this technique successfully. Kaio-Ken is a transformation that remains a classic to this day. Everyone was a little more careful after that, as this transformation was the first glimpse we got at how powerful Goku could truly be. His tail and the transformation would reappear soon in the World Martial Arts tournament, where Jackie Chun employs a slightly different approach to stopping it, destroying the very moon itself. When Goku took on the form in Emperor Pilaf’s castle, he went on another rampage that almost did the same to his friends, only to be stopped by Puar cutting off his tail, regressing Goku back to the normal kid we all know and love. The lack of control cost Goku’s grandfather his life, a fact that Goku would not realize until years later.

As a Saiyan, every time Goku would look upon the full moon, he would transform into the great ape, the Oozaru. The first form Goku ever took on was not a willing one. Here are all his Super Saiyan Transformations. A new state of power always lies on the horizon, and Goku is always ready to claim it. From the first time Goku would ascend to his new state, and for every epic leap since, he would prove there is no barrier he could not overcome. We had the epic original form, the monumentally powerful Super Saiyan God, and the shocking Ultra Instinct. Each moment would come at a pivotal time when the heroes needed their strength the most, and every design would be ingrained into fan’s minds forever. With each magnificent new transformation, the world would sit on the edge of their seats awaiting a showcase of unseen power.

The Super Saiyan transformations are without a doubt the most iconic powers and techniques seen in anime.
