More Precise Name for Super Saiyan 4

[ChiefWamsutta]

I have been feeling recently that the name "Super Saiyan 4" is not accurate to what the form itself is.

The numbering system was used for yellow-haired Super Saiyans. The number 4 would make sense unless the form were entirely yellow. But since it is not, I have been trying to think of a more precise name.

The few that come to mind are: 1) Super Saiyan Prime, 2) Primal Saiyan, 3) Super Great Ape.

What are your thoughts?

TheDevilsCorpse suggested Hitozaru, which means Man-monkey/ape IIRC, which seems like a good fit.
I once suggested Super Ozaru-jin and Super Saru-jin. The first being of course Super Great Ape/Monkey Human and the latter Super Ape/Monkey Human, being a pun Super Saiya-jin.

Super Ozaru 2, Ultimate Saiyan or True Super Saiyan

[Lord Frieza]

Yeren?

[Cetra]

Lunar Super Saiyajin

[Tectorman]

Obviously, it was always supposed to be Super Saiyan Furry. They just shortened and mispronounced it as "Four".

[Berserker1921]

Super saiyan King? Based off the idea of the monkey king, from journey into the west? Or super saiyan pure?

[sunsetshimmer]

SSJ4 = Mastered Golden Oozaru
Golden Oozaru = SSJ + Oozaru

So...
Super Oozaru
Super Saiyan Oozaru

Maybe something like that

[Steven Bloodriver]

Ultimate Saiyan, Ultimate Super Saiyan, and Ultimate Battle Form.

[Cetra]

Suupa Oozarujin.

[Almighty Majin]

Super Saiyan: Primal

[theherodjl]

Super Saiyan Cashcow 96'.

[PFM18]

I like the "Primal Super Saiyan"

[Tian]

Super Saiyan Red?

[Jackalope89]

Super Saiyan Back Shave Required.

[Spider-Man]

Super Saiyan magic pants or Super Saiyan Primal.

[BWri]

Super Saiyan Primal is the best one I've heard and its been floating around for a while.

Others I can think of:
Super Saiyan Origin
Super Saiyan Evolved (too bad this will make many think of DB Evolution)
Super Saiyan Hybrid (since you have to go Oozaru before you can unlock it and it looks partly Oozaru)
Super Saiyan Blutz or Brute
Primal Form (a nod to Frieza's transformations as this could be a Saiyan's genetic final transformation)
Super Saiyan Hokuto (since Goku always magically gets his shirt back every episode like Kenshiro)

Just a few I can think of.

Exactly. If Sj4 was being introduced today in Super, that's most likely what it would have been called. It's much more fitting and appropriate.

Alas, GT was afraid to break the mold with anything, creative form naming included

To be fair SSJ4 is a very creative transformation. Really, from a design standpoint, it is easily the most creative in the series.

But yeah they had to go with the generic naming conventions of old which was pretty stupid.

I suppose so - SSj4 is a retread of the Saiyans' monkey origins. Toriyama has moved away from that entirely, though. SSj4 itself looks good, but I also feel it's incomplete, feels dunno, transitional to me. Must be the black hair!
