The original form.
Just because it was something new to see and when a character reached it you were amazed.
In terms of first time transformations I would say it goes like this.
1. Gohan (SSJ2)
2. Goku (SSJ)
3. Vegeta (SSJ)
4. Goku (SSJ3)
The rest are meh..

Goku: "Look Vegeta! People popcorn!"
Vegeta: "What is he on?"
Vegeta: "What is he on?"

I like Super Saiya-jin Goku and Super Saiya-jin 2 Gohan, but as a form, SSJ 2 is my least favorite, the changes are barely noticeable in anyone other than Gohan, I just don't think it's very original.
My list probably goes like this
1. Goku SSJ
2. Gohan SSJ2
3. Goku SSJ4 (I just love the character design, it's the best part of GT)

I like SS2 the best because of its sleek look with the muscle definition, more intense hair, and electric aura. It's also one of the more rare transformations. Gohan's first ascent to it was one of my favorite transformations of the series I'd have to say and Goku and Majin Vegeta's fight as SS2's was totally badass.

Dude, when that episode aired in the states it was epic. I was in 4th or 5th grade at the time and the next day everyone came to school and was like "Sweet Jesus did you see DBZ yesterday!?"Saiyan BayBays wrote:When Goku first went Super Saiyan, it was ALL my friends and I talked about the next day at school. After all the hype and "legend" stuff, it was crazy to see what it finally looked like. All the other forms were alright, but never had the same impact on me like the first one did.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Has anyone else caught the pretty drastic difference in Goku's hair from when he first turns SSJ compared to the rest of the series. On Namek his hair was a really pale yellow and there weren't any black lines in it, but through the rest of the series its a darker yellow and has black lines in it.
They finally got this right in Sparking! Meteor when they distinguish Goku Mid's SSJ hair differently from Goku End's.

Budokai 1 used his original SSJ hair, 2 and 3 used the second version of it. Sparking! Neo used the original for the battle damaged Goku and the second one for everyone else. The change actually came during the RoSaT, when he mastered SSJ. I think the intent was to show he was at the peak of his power.They finally got this right in Sparking!

The same thing happens with all the others, too. The more Vegeta and Trunks powered-up against Cell the more straight and pointy their hair got. And of course, Gohan's hair change from SSJ to SSJ2 was the pretty obvious.
Anyway, my favorite would have to be SSJ4 Goku because it just looks so awesome. The best design (and idea) in all of GT by far. Though, as was said before, longhaired SSJ Trunks is badass too.

<Xyex> Original Freeza never sounded like a chick to me.
<Kaboom> Neither does Rita
<Xyex> Good point.

Are you guys talking about Trunks when he has his hair tied back and its only spiking in the front during the 2nd stage cell episodes or when its all hanging down and spiked all over in the Bojack movie?Xyex wrote:Budokai 1 used his original SSJ hair, 2 and 3 used the second version of it.

I have to go with Super Saiyan 4. If there's ANY single good thing that came out of GT, it's this. I love it because of how unique it is; it's not just another power-up, bigger n' blonder hair, "GGGRRRAAAARGH NEW SSJ LEVEL FTW" kind of thing. It's something completely new, yet it draws from older methods of power. Like an amalgamation of the two sides of the Saiyan's power (SSj and Ozaru), which gives them unprecedented levels of strength that neither alone could otherwise grant.
Second place would be the good ol' original Super Saiyan.
