Golden Frieza has honestly the best transformation sequence for my money.

Of the ones said here, maybe Ultra Instinct for most visually beautiful and I'd argue best aura too(Vegeta's sparkly new one isn't too bad either). Not sure on the best concept, but SSJ or SSJG would probably win by just the build up to it rather than it appearing out of no where.

Super Saiyan Rose

Since I don't think we are limited to just Saiyan Transformations, here are mine'

The Best Transformation Sequence?! ~~~ Brianne's Tranformation Into Ribrianne, Easy!

Best Aura?! ~~~ Super Saiyan 3, It combined what Made SSJ-2 Cool and Put it on Overpowered Mode, The Aura and Lighting the Defines Intensity and Raw Power, it is what made the SSJ-3 Mode So Cool to me, it was just dominating!

Best Introduction?! ~~~ Teen Gohan SSJ-2, Such a HIGH Standard to beat with that music and unleashing of pure rage feeling like the world just broke new ground, Business just picked-up good for the Heroes!

Most Beautiful (Visually) ~~~ SSJ-3, Again for the same Reasons as Best Aura, its Beatiful cause it Defines Power!

Others Like SSJ-Rose and The New Royal Blue Vegeta are Runner-Ups to for Best Auras and Visually well done.

[Kanious]

Super Saiyan Rage.

UI is cool too, but i thought that the hair would be more spikier.

Best introduction has to be Super Saiyan 2 with Gohan. Kageyama's vocals, the visuals, Nozawa's Gohan's eternal scream, the silent reactions from everyone are just too powerful to remove from your mind.

Visually and conceptually, it's easily Ultra Instinct. Every time it's on screen, the animators put extra effort to make it look incredible and make sure it moves incredibly. Not to mention it pays off concepts that the series has been building up on till now.

SSJ 3 has the best design though.

[Torturephile]

Super saiyan rosé due to the rather good-looking color palette used for its aura and that it looks good auraless unlike blue for much of Super. Ultra instinct looks unique and powerful.

I'd add SSJ4 as well.

[Grimlock]

Visually speaking, it's Super Saiyan 2. So majestic it is when a transformation is simple, yet fierce with all the lightnings over the whole body and the sound of it.

The introduction of Super Saiyan Rosé is also cool and he has the most beautiful aura. Well, one cannot expect anything less than mighty beauty when it comes to purple.

I know this is supposed to be about Dragon Ball Super, but Gokū's first transformation into Super Saiyajin 4 is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and unique by far. Initially, the situation looked so hopeless; Baby had Gokū so completely outmatched and there was nobody left who could come to Gokū's aid. The tension was really great, especially when Gokū, battered and beaten, lay there on the ground looking up at the Earth he could no longer protect. Suddenly, his heart starts pounding and he transforms into an Ōzaru and promptly turns golden. Okay, so he can match Baby now, but it's not like he can control himself; we've seen him like this before and it ended with his tail being cut off because he simply wasn't himself anymore. The situation really didn't look any more hopeful than it did before.

Enter Pan. The emotional connection between grandfather and granddaughter broke through to the beast Gokū had become and afforded him control over himself. The only time we've seen anything like this happen before was Vegeta back when he first attacked Earth, and the only thing it resulted in was his being in control of his Ōzaru form. Instead, we got, in my opinion, the most mystical, captivating, and beautiful transformation scene in Dragon Ball. I can't even begin to tell you what it was all about, but it was so strangely beautiful that I'd even go as far as to say that it was calming instead of energizing like past transformation sequences. At its conclusion, we see Gokū as we've never seen him before; he's the Gokū we knew from when he grew up onward but he's also not.

As someone who watched it live when it aired exactly 21 years ago (January 1997) in Japan, I was in awe; Super Saiyajin 4 Gokū was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I had no idea what he was going to do, what he could do, or what he'd even become. It was amazing and no transformation has made me feel that way before or since.

Ssj2 is the same epic form the first one was but the sparks and sharper hair give it more of a complete feeling to it so that's my favorite.

Ssj3 would be my 2nd pick as I think it's the most intimidating one and the long hair on Goku makes him look a lot more serious than he usually is.

Royal Blue is my 3rd pick as the darker Blue hair color and the bigger muscles gives it a more powerful look than the normal Blue.

Next would be Ssj4 as it's the most different of the group and the most "final" one.

I'd put Red and Rose on the same level, both look great and were used pretty well but they're just not as impressive as the 3 above.

I couldn't care less about rage.

UI isn't a Ssj form but it looks amazing none the less.

[SirTorra]

For me it would have to be Goku going SS3. The screaming, the music not to mention the freakin hair. It was, in my opinion perfectly executed.

[SupremeKai25]

Which one has the best aura?

Super Saiyan Rosè. It has the most unique aura, because nowadays' transformation mostly have yellow and blue auras, not rose. It truly made Black stand out. Honorable mention, i also like Fused Zamasu's Super Saiyan Rosè, which is actually... particular. Because Fused Zamasu is constantly in Super Saiyan Rosè (as Black fused in his Super Saiyan Rosè transformation). He has spiky white hair, and initially he had an aura which resembled the shining colors of the rainbow, but after he damaged himself with the Light of Justice, the aura turned rose. I thought it was very cool.

Which is the most beautiful (visually)?

Super Saiyan Rosè. It looks splendind, majestic. Admittedly, i never thought rose could look so good on a villain!

Which one has the best concept or introduction?

Super Saiyan Rosè. Again... i adore its concept. It is not explained very well in the anime, but it is in the manga. Future Zamasu states that when a natural-born deity surpasses Super Saiyan God, they unlock Super Saiyan Rosè instead of Super Saiyan Blue. This ties back to the concept of a Shinjin possessing a Saiyan body, who is Black obviously. But i also love the symbolism behind Super Saiyan Rosè. Roses, often associated with death and beauty, represent perfectly the character of Zamasu, a beautiful and splendid God that towers above existence to deliver death upon the mortals who are unnecessary and worthless. The introduction was also astonishing, and i remember people were as hyped for Super Saiyan Rosè as they are today for Ultra Instinct or 'Beyond Super Saiyan Blue' Vegeta... if not even more. The soundtrack that played in the background was amazing too.

I... i just love Super Saiyan Rosè. It's such a cool and unique idea and transformation. And it is Zamasu's own, special, unique transformation that no one else can possibly achieve. I would also say it came as a surprise, because people were expecting Black to achieve 'Super Saiyan White', given Toriyama's statement that the villain of the Future Trunks' arc would have white hair. But, of course, in the end he was referring to Zamasu himself, not to Black.

I find Goku's Ssj3 to be the best. There's just something about it which attracts me towards it.

[Ki Breaker]

Ultimate Gohan..

The heavens opened up with sparkles and stuff when he regained the form..

I love this post! Great choice of pics. For most beautiful of those you listed, I'd have to go with SSR. To me it defines beauty perfectly, it's great to look at and dangerous, sinister even and in Black's case, it belongs to a narcissist. Second place for me would go to UI. It has that quiet, stoic, muted beauty. SSJ3 is 3rd place with the manliest beauty of them all.

For me, the worst is SSRB. That gaudy form represents cheap beauty, artificial diamonds if you will.

But the most beautiful transformation and one you didn't list is Super Human Launch. 2 beautiful women in one.

Edit: Forgot your questions

Best Aura = I'd actually give this to Super Saiyan God. I wanted to see them expand upon it for though and maybe introduce some gold into it, but as is it's still the most unique.
Most Beautiful Visually = SSR. I like how its a twisted version of SSB, but it has its own uniqueness and the darkness of the colors works for it in a bright show like Super.
Best Concept or Introduction = This is really two questions, so I'll answer separately
Concept = SSG, I like for it's basically fire and its why I wanted to see it expanded on more. I'd always imagined it would eventually look like an out of control flame, kinda like SSBKK from the U6 tourney arc.
Introduction = This one's tough. I think I'd give it to a three way tie of SSJ1, SSJ3 and SSR. All three were just the most epic things I've ever seen. Funny, I notice that these are all Goku's moments in some shape or form and I'm not Goku's biggest fan.

[Professor Freeza]

Best sequence HAS to be Golden Freeza's new Transformation

[DragonBallFoodie]

I think Rose and Frieza's Golden transformation when fighting the assassins.

[Lord Beerus]

Ultra Instinct in every department. It has the best aura, is visually stunning and distinct, and is built on a unique concept that was foreshadowed for nearly 100 episodes.

[dbs fanboy]

Super saiyan rosé is the most beautiful of them all (no, it's not because i'm biased), while Vegeta's new form is the ugliest (too shiny).

Ultra instinct is the best one thought

As this does not appear to have anything specifically/exclusively to do with Dragon Ball Super, it has been moved to the general discussion sub-forum.
