SSJ God Time Limit

[Daniel Vincere]

So Super Saiyan God has a 5 minute time limit right? Based on that, it seems like it doesn't run on the user's own energy (though I could be wrong). If that's true, then what would happen if the user was completely exhausted. Would they fall out of SSJ God or still be in it, just extremely tired? Or could it be that SSJ God runs on a completely different reserve of energy that depletes after 5 minutes, no matter what?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Pretty sure there's nothing that says the form only lasts 5 minutes (and making one would have been kinda dumb in retrospect). The best you can do is make a guess based on how long the transformation lasts in the film itself, but even then, we don't know what determines the time limit and then there's the fact that the Special Edition extends the time of the transformation by about two minutes anyway.

It's further complicated by the fact that certain parts of the fight are clearly in slow motion (like the water in the underground cave)

[KentalSSJ6]

Just go by screen time.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Just go by screen time.

Yeah, but like I said, what about the parts of the fight that were slowed down?

Even then. As long as he looks like this



then count it as screentime.

How would screen time be accurate? Ssj3 even in the manga felt like it lasted a long time. I'm willing to say we can average it out. 10 minutes seems good to me because the original SSG couldt beat the entire race in 10 minutes

For me the time-limit meant that the user will cease to be a God after a certain short period of time, in other words he doesn't run of Godly energy because he over used it, but the state itself has an availability, so even if a saiyan doesn't fight at all, the form will disappear in any case. Remember that Goku didn't get tired fighting with Beerus, so his the form is very stable in my view and does not put significant strain on body. The difference between the Original Saiyan God and Goku was that Goku was able to integrate the state for long time/forever.

[Hugo Boss]

I would say 1 minute in DB terms. He only attained most of SSJ God's power because he was fighting Beerus.

There is no time limit mentioned , All you can make are just assumptions even goku didn't know he was not in SSJG mode till berus told him.

Goku is a SSGod for around 7 minutes going by screen time. However, the fight scenes are shown in slow-motion rather than real-time speed, so it's much less than 7 minutes.

I suppose if you really wanted to know this, you could measure how fast the rocks were falling underground, then compare that to how fast they would actually fall at normal speed, and do a bunch of math to figure out how much time actually passed.

But that seems pointless and a huge amount of work over something so silly, if you ask me.

Maybe the form's time limit is based on the user's own abilities. After all, a normal Saiyan in God form came close to wiping out his evil counterparts before it ran out. So a lone warrior nearly beating his entire evil race (who I'm sure went Great Ape on him, because if they didn't...Ya that would be dumb) VS one Saiyan (who can access all of Z era's Super Saiyan forms) VS a near all powerful god faced way different challenges. Thus the form based its time limit off its situation. I believe that "God-Kun" used more energy against Beerus so his time went out faster. Similar to Fusion, while the original SS God may have lasted longer.
How can a lone SSG VS a race last longer than Son VS Beerus? When I'm sure the original SS God took out normal Saiyans with one punch or kick. Beerus is not a one hit kill type of guy. The Great Ape's gave the original SS God trouble I'm sure, but this is all speculation on my part.
In short: However long Goku lasted in the form in the Extended movie is probably its time limit.

[Barunks]

Regardless from such a small amount of time it sounds like they would have been better off just fusing into Gogeta instead. I hear it was said that in the extended cut Goku doubted fusion would be very effective, but he has been wrong before and (especially after Vegeta randomly having a new hidden power for some reason) plus I'd just like to see Gogeta actually break a sweat for once.

The fact that Goku was able to keep some of that god power is interesting though. Could it be possible to become a super saiyan god at will and extend the time limit through training?

According to Toriyama:

Q: Will Goku be able to transform into [Super Saiyan] God in the future?

A: I think you’ll understand if you watch [the movie], but Goku has already absorbed [Super Saiyan] God’s power and made it his own, so there is no need for him to transform into [Super Saiyan] God. Goku basically only thinks of fighting as a sporting match, so borrowing the power of five people isn’t fair, and he resisted doing that; however, it seems his curiosity towards the realm that lay even further beyond him won out.

Q: Goku endlessly keeps getting stronger, with Super Saiyan 3 in the manga and Super Saiyan 4 in the anime; does Super Saiyan keep getting limitlessly stronger too? Might we eventually see things such as a Super Saiyan 5…?!

A: Super Saiyan 2 and 3 are nothing more than powered-up variations of Super Saiyan. After the fight with Beerus, Goku realized that mastering his normal state and Super Saiyan would raise his level more and sap less strength, so I think he probably won’t become Super Saiyan 2 or 3 any more.

Apparently, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3, and even Super Saiyan God are useless for Goku now that he has absorbed God's realm. Normal Super Saiyan is now the best form.
