Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
I watched all the scenes with Ssj3 and it doesn't drain energy as bad as fans claim it to be.
Ssj3 Gotenks fought Super Buu for quite some time and the form had no energy drain on him. He would have stayed in the form longer if the fusion didn't defuse.
Ssj3 Goku vs Kid Buu
Now I believe this is where thever energy drain thing started.
Ssj3 Goku (suppressed) was fighting Kid Buu with everything he had of course he is going to be energy drained plus on top of that he took damage.
It's just like with any other ssj form.
I'd like to see your opinions though.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
Gotenks losses almost all of his fusion time just by turning it on, that's a pretty big knock against it and Goku suffers an actual burn out from using it.
I can't name another instance where that happens to him. The anime also pads things out, even Kai whereas the manga is a lot faster.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Goku's 24hours also get wasted instantly when he transforms and Z has a filler scene with him transforming for Goten and Trunks, only to almost pass out from exhaustion.ekrolo2 wrote:Gotenks losses almost all of his fusion time just by turning it on, that's a pretty big knock against it and Goku suffers an actual burn out from using it.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
You know, this has always crossed my mind. Was the amount of time that Goku had left on earth determined by how much energy he wasted when he transformed/fought etc? Because if so, wouldn't SSJ2 Goku fighting SSJ2 Majin have gone through a decent chunk of his time on earth?Doctor. wrote:Goku's 24hours also get wasted instantly when he transforms and Z has a filler scene with him transforming for Goten and Trunks, only to almost pass out from exhaustion.ekrolo2 wrote:Gotenks losses almost all of his fusion time just by turning it on, that's a pretty big knock against it and Goku suffers an actual burn out from using it.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
Indeed it does. Although he could fight Kid Buu as his equal, he was also getting more and more tired. Due to losing all that energy, he couldn't then power up to SSJ3.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
Although it's never explicitly stated, it's pretty much implied that Super Saiyan 3 drains life energy, similar to the Mafuuba or Kikoho.Lord Beerus wrote:You know, this has always crossed my mind.

The fact that it affected Goku's borrowed life energy on Earth & Gotenks' fusion time would exemplify that.
Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
In at least one version of Goku's confrontation with Fat Buu, it's implied that SSJ2 DID do that. Goku thinks something to the effect of "If possible, I didn't even want to have to go to the form beyond SSJ (referring to SSJ2)". It's nowhere near the drain of SSJ3, and for all we know, it just took his 24 hours and turned them into 23 hours 45 minutes, but he still implies that SSJ2 is also in that category of "shouldn't use if possible".Lord Beerus wrote:You know, this has always crossed my mind.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
Going Super Saiyan 3 shortens Gotenks' 30 minute time limit to a mere five, and while it's unclear how long Goku was fighting Pure for, it didn't seem to be for that long in the manga. So yeah, I'd say that Super Saiyan 3 does burn through an excessive amount of stamina.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
I doubt it does for Goku and Vegeta cause they've far surpassed what's required for it.

Does it actually state Gotenks loses time going ssj3?
Last time I checked Piccolo said he left ssj3 because the fusion was almost over. They did fight Super Buu in base and ssj for quite some time.

That was his first time using it though. He himself states he did not master the form yet.
Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
Pretty sure it was just a bluff to buy time for Trunks to get the radar. He transforms in an instant vs Super Boo and we never saw him training inbetween those two fights.Perfectionist-Cell wrote:Doctor. wrote:Goku's 24hours also get wasted instantly when he transforms and Z has a filler scene with him transforming for Goten and Trunks, only to almost pass out from exhaustion.ekrolo2 wrote:Gotenks losses almost all of his fusion time just by turning it on, that's a pretty big knock against it and Goku suffers an actual burn out from using it.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
They don't specifically say five minutes but Gotenks does power down out of nowhere and then his fusion separately fizzles out too very shortly thereafter. So, even if it doesn't eat up his fusion time, he can't fight in it for very long regardless without powering down to base.Perfectionist-Cell wrote:ekrolo2 wrote:Gotenks losses almost all of his fusion time just by turning it on, that's a pretty big knock against it and Goku suffers an actual burn out from using it.

But Gotenks was already fighting in his other forms before he went ssj3. That could eaten up his time not ssj3. He showed no fatigue from using the form.

Without proper mastery of the transformation's energy requirements, Super Saiyan 3 would tire out it's user in much less than the average length of an anime episode.Perfectionist-Cell wrote:I watched all the scenes with Ssj3 and it doesn't drain energy as bad as fans claim it to be.

It's just like with any other ssj form.
I'd like to see your opinions though.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
SSJ3 is a lot like the stamina draining, bulky transformations of the Cell saga - except dialed up to 11. It grants the user an explosive increase in power but heavily drains the user's stamina. It's like any newly acquired SSJ transformation.
Goku probably doesn't feel the sapping effects anymore because of all the training he did inbetween killing Buu and Beerus arriving, to minimize the stamina drain.
My personal head cannon is that fusion creates a more stable, robust form, allowing Gotenks to use SSJ3 uninhibited for a brief while cutting into his fusion time as a trade off , due to the massive amount of energy generated.
I suppose you could also argue, that SSJ3 was never meant to be used in the mortal world as it may potentially be sapping the user's life force with each use, which explains why Goku was originally so drained when he first used it. But this theory run into problems with Super, as Goku appears to have either mastered or reduced SSJ3's stamina drain down to a manageable level.

Re: Does Ssj3 really take a lot of stamina/energy?
When Trunks and Goten are training in the Room of Spirit and Time, right before Piccolo contacts them regarding bring Buu to them, they have this back and forth.Perfectionist-Cell wrote:

Last time I checked Piccolo said he left ssj3 because the fusion was almost over. They did fight Super Buu in base and ssj for quite some time.
So, according to them, it's a general cap of 5 minutes for Ssj3, and even transforming freshly after fusing, they'll still only have 5 minutes.Trunks: “…But its weak point is time…See…We’re only able to become it for about 5 minutes…Then even our Fusion comes undone and we turn back into two people…”
Goten: “That’s no problem. We’ll become that way right off the bat! Even with just 5 minutes, we’ll definitely be able to take care of [Boo]!”
