No matter how much you hate SSJ4, this form will always make more sense than any DBS form.
Saiyans are monkeys, not gods.
SSJ4 is also much more original and that's a fact, not opinion.
It really doesn't outside of making Goku look more ape. Even then, it doesn't explained why Goku's fur looks like a vest and why he keeps his pants. And Goku is based on the 'Monkey King' who became a god.

Being original doesn't mean better.

Kinda agree with this statement. BUT the design does look cool and is the only good thing from GT, maybe

The fur is okay, but forms that come out with new pants and boots don't make much sense.
Wait wasn't those his GT pants?

Ssj4 was indeed a very awesome looking form. Tho I wouldn’t say it’s way better looking than the god forms. I am liking this perfected UI goku a lot

It doesn't "make sense", although i wouldn't say it's illogical or something like that. It's random in appearance, but explained in abilities. So it's 50/50.
And it isn't as original as SSJ4, although it's much more original than anything else in Super so far except maybe original SSJ God.

But it makes more sense for them to have ultimate form looking like an ape than being some god shit.
Yes, it's power up just like every other form, including DBS.
God ki is just another word for "power up".

Unless SSJ4 has fixed power level instead of multiplier. It was never specified. Form was advertised as turning a saiyan into ultimate peak of power so there is a possibility that DBZ SSJ4 would be equal to GT SSJ4. But it's not confirmed in any way. Just theory.
Totamo wrote: What? Then why was super saiyan 1 just a hair color change and had nothing to do with monkeys?
Because no one said it HAS to be connected with monkeys. But it makes more sense to have appearance of monkey,
And SSJ4 was a combination of SSJ and Oozaru. It was never actual SSJ form.
SSJ2 and SSJ3 were only called like this because they were improvments of SSJ.
SSJ4 has "4" because it's fourth form. Name is misleading.

You may like SSJ Blue more than SSJ4 but it will never make the form original in any way.

"I will concede that your feelings are worthy of the mightiest of Saiyans. However, there is more to my power than just this. Before you die, I will show it to you. This is the difference in power, between the primitive Saiyans and the evolved Tsufruians." ~Baby Vegeta

To you, but Super Saiyan 4 never looked cool to me and get uglier with age. To me, there is nothing redeeming about it.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I was very disappointed about this and now I’m between that and just plain laughing. I want to say wait “til its animated” but just wow.... just wow... maybe this’ll get better with time, and maybe I’ll eventually get used to it, but I think I’ll always prefer black hair over white/silver hair.

Either way, we can at least know it’ll be animated very well in the next two episodes.

Nah, it's okay and it follows the same logic than GT Goku. For some reason, I thought Xeno Goku SSJ4 outfit was from GT Goku SSJ4, which doesn't match GT Goku outfit and thus my confusion.

Not really. Xeno Goku's Super Saiyan 4 is more logical than GT Goku's Super Saiyan 4. In the anime, his (and Vegeta's) clothes change for some unknown reason when he (they) transforms, whereas Xeno Goku (and Xeno Vegeta) transforms into Super Saiyan 4, nothing changes except, obviously, the upper part of the outfit that vanishes in order to show the fur.

Wow, that is silly.


1. Saiyans were never monkeys, they were apes and if they never had to be, why does it make more sense then? If super saiyan 4 makes more sense than super saiyan blue and God then it makes more sense than 1,2 and 3.

2. If its not an actual super saiyan form, then its not a fourth form and the name is a lie.

3. How did Elder kai no about when there was no legend about it.

4. The biggest nonsensical thing about the form, why does it make him a furry when he just went super saiyan as a great ape and gained control? Why didn't he just go into the form straight ahead.

Man... i'm gonna get trashed for this post... go easy on me please lol

How many more transformations are we gonna get before Super ends? Like seriously, this is getting to be a little bit too much. They could literally make a 30 character fighting game using ONLY Goku and Vegeta at this point!

The design of it too... oh man... like it's only SSG... but WHITE. I like normal Ultra Instinct more than this and I was Super un-hyped for that.

Does ANYBODY on the staff have any shame?! It's obvious they know about the Dragon Ball memes and apparently like SEGA, with Sanic, they're embracing it! Episode long transformations, In-universe time making no sense whatsoever, Yamcha being trash, Krillin being a wuss, Vapid nonsense, Supreme Kai, Goku and Vegeta getting several transformations and transformation recolors. This arc is a culmination of Dragon ball memes i'm very disappointed that nobody among the staff members realized how egregious it was to sink to these levels.

Well... theirs my hot-take over this. I kind of want to say that i'm joking with this post, but i'm unfortunately not. The staff is clearly okay with sinking down to the level of using memes and getting as many lazy recolor transformations out there as possible. Like this is the type of thing that Super Best Friends laugh their asses off at about Dragon Ball, hell thats pretty much what a lot of people laugh at dragon ball about and its just embarrassing.

My main problem here is that this like what, the 3rd or 4th transformation from Goku and Vegeta? and yet another one that looks pretty much the same.The fact that I like the way the original looks more doesn't help.

*sigh* oh well, whatever, companies have to make their money somehow I suppose...

Whoo boy, that is...that is rough. Ultra Instinct was pretty cool, and then they just decided to make it, well not.

Oh well, at least that one guy from that other thread is probably happy about this, so good for him I guess. Who knows, maybe Vegeta will even fellate Goku, before he's ringed out, like he wants too.

To me, this form is perfect because it represents how I believe Toriyama feels and has always felt about Dragon ball. He. Does. Not. Care.


I'm not even mad at him, because I would do the same thing. This is all nonsense, every bit of it is nonsense. Goku and gang are fighting parodies of anime to please a 5 year old and his best friend, his future self or be destroyed unceremoniously.

I suppose I'm among the few that doesn't see the Perfect UI form as such a scandalous thing. I'm mostly miffed because the design of the first version just looks better. Reaction to the first SSJGod form was similar and the fandom settled down after a while.

I'm way more curious about the how and why he will perfect it and of course, how the battle will look.

Within Super, UI is the first form Goku got since Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan were both in the movies. Even then, that would make Goku having only two forms. The rest are divided with other characters with Rose just being Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan under a different name and color.

This remains me more of Super Saiyan Rose and all the butt hurt that it wasn't white and how Black was now 'ruined'.
