What is the multiplier for Super Saiyan: Kaioken?

Post by Steven Bloodriver » Sun Sep 09, 2018 11:52 am

In order to refresh the memory of some, in the Dragon Ball Z Anime, Full Power Super Saiyan Son Goku (Angel) had done a brief combination of his Full Power Super Saiyan transformation and his Kaioken technique to hit Pikkon (Angel) into one of the Moons floating above the Otherworld Tournament Ring during the final match of the Otherworld Tournament Saga.

If Goku used regular Kaioken then it would be a 2x multiplier ontop a 50x SS multiplier, meaning its a 100x multiplier for the base form

It'd be a regular Kaioken, so 2x unless otherwise explicitly stated by Goku when it's higher.

It ranges from 100x base regularly to 1000x base if he were to use its full power. Theoretically, if he had somehow managed to control the technique by emphasizing an even more relaxed SSJ state along with practicing Kaioken in the Otherworld, a proper Super Kaioken would far surpass SSJ3. It probably still wouldn't place him on par with Super Buu though, but Kid Buu would be a breeze to deal with.
