Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
Say, if they did the same process with Gohan that they did to Goku.

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
I don't see why not. Half-Saiyans can turn into regular Super Saiyans & seemed to count as a whole Saiyan in the ritual.
Then again, Pan counted too, and she's only a quarter Saiyan.

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
I believe it's possible for half-Saiyan like Son Gohan to transform into Super Saiyan God during the six Super Saiyan ritual.

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
Pretty much what Nagger said - if they seem to count as Saiyan enough for the ritual to work and effect a full Saiyan, then I don't see why the same wouldn't be true of making them the God in the ritual.
Wen you think about it, boring as it would be to see or know had happened off-screen, it would be pretty smart of them to have just repeated the ritual until each of their Saiyan heritaged characters now had access to the God power...

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
Toriyama already confirmed that other Saiyans just like Goku can also become Gods with no problem, but their power will vary depend on personal power level....

Vegeta. Or the original SSJG, which I believe was the context of that question in the interview.Low Tone G wrote: There are more surviving Saiyans other than Goku and Vegeta(maybe Tarble, who is an incompetent fighter) who Toriyama might have referred to? If not the half-breeds?

I've mentioned Vegeta there, if you read it once again. But still, why couldn't be Gohan for example to be able to become a God, if he wants and the others agreed to do it?Kamiccolo9 wrote:Vegeta.

He could be. But nothing says he is. And the explanation that Toriyama gave could be construed as to exclude Gohan, Goten, and Trunks.Low Tone G wrote:I've mentioned Vegeta there, if you read it once again.

That would really suck if that were that case. I'd love to see SSJ God Gohan or Gotenks. But I guess pureblood Saiyans always get the bigger stick in the end.Kamiccolo9 wrote: He could be.

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
They most likely can (I don't see why not, they have almost every other Saiyan trait), but it's never gonna happen, because they will end up stronger than Goku, and neither do they want that (they are not into fighting like Goku), neither does Toei & Toriyama want that (they are not the main protagonists, and they lost their chance).

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
Not only that, but other than the kids, the rest of the Z-Senshi have their own pride, and I doubt they would let Goku teach them thing, especially when Goku is their rival, and they are already humiliated for being so inferior to him. Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, they are not real fighters, and are not interested in martial arts that much, so I doubt they would try to learn difficult techniques that could take month, or even years, to master, if they can master them.Gyt Kaliba wrote:More powerful back-up when threats arrive.

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
Yamcha, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Vegeta, they were all Goku's rivals in the past, and they were competing against each other. Even though they have all admitted that they are inferior to Goku (because that's the truth), I don't see them going to Goku and ask him for training. I think they would feel even more pathetic if they were brought to that, because they were once equals with Goku from the same generation, and they once wished to surpass Goku, not to become stronger with his help.Hitiro wrote:The rest of the Z-Senshi have already admitted to being inferior to Goku.

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
I don't get your reasoning. At the end of the day, they're friends. Goku didn't create the Kaioken technique so why would they be embarrassed to ask him how to achieve it? The same goes for instant transmission. Goku learned the former from King Kai & the latter from some random aliens. Goku would only be doing them a favor. The same favor he was given from King Kai & the Yardrats.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Yamcha, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Vegeta, they were all Goku's rivals in the past, and they were competing against each other.

Re: Can a half-Saiyan become a Super Saiyan God?
I'm sure any Saiyan can do this. We saw Gohan, Goten and Trunks combine their powers to help Goku become one, and they're all half Saiyans.
All the ritual required were "six pure hearted Saiyans" - it doesn't say anything about a Saiyan needing to be full blooded. At least that's what I gathered from the English dub. I don't quite remember what Shenlong said in the JPN dub.
