If every form were exclusive, and every character could only have one form, who'd you give them to?

I remember making a similar thread like this before, but I can't find it, so sorry mods if anyone does find it.

Basically, if every form in the series were exclusive to one character, who do you think best represents the form? However, if you use one character, you can't use them again. So if you think for instance that SS2 should be Gohan's form, you can't give him Ultimate or Beast either, they have to go to someone else.

Super Saiyan: Gokuu
Super Saiyan Grade 2: Vegeta
Super Saiyan Grade 3: Trunks
Super Saiyan 2: Gohan
Super Saiyan 3: Gotenks

Super Saiyan God: Yamoshi
Super Saiyan Blue: Bardock
Super Saiyan Berserk: Kale
Super Saiyan Rage: Caulifla
Ultra Instinct: Kefla
Beast: Pan

I mostly just went by whoever unlocked which form first, since that ties their arcs to those forms within the story.

What about 4?

Daima's Ssj4 would go to Goku, as it seems inspired by Journey to the West's Wukong which inspired Toriyama to write DB.
Ssj3 would go to Vegeta, as that form played the biggest role in his reform at the end of the Buu arc.
Ssj2 would go to Future Trunks, as he'd want a form stronger than the one that failed to protect his master.
Goten and Kid Trunks shouldn't get any form, unless it's through fusion.
Ssj1 would go to Gotenks to demonstrate how powerful fusion is.
Mystic of course remains exclusive to Gohan.
Vegetto and Gogeta are powerful enough to not require any transformation.

What about SsjG, SsjB, UI, UE, and Beast ? Simple; no one wants them.

Mostly similar to Julie

Super Saiyan: Son Goku
Super Saiyan Grade 2: Vegeta
Super Saiyan Grade 3: Future Trunks
Super Saiyan 2: Gohan
Super Saiyan 3: Gotenks

Super Saiyan God: Throw everyone for a loop and give it to Videl because something something carrying the newest Saiyan

Super Saiyan Blue: Cabba (justify that color swap as Super Saiyan from U6)

Super Saiyan Beserk: Caulifa

Ultra Instinct: Kame Sennin

I forgot about it and Cabba. Let's have them have the dance floor together, then lol

Goku: Ultra Instinct
Vegeta: Ultra Ego
Piccolo: Orange Piccolo
Gohan: Beast Gohan

Of course, Super Saiyajin is the most iconic form from Dragon Ball. But, as the name implies, it's a Saiyajin transformation. These other ones are more unique to each character by definition.
Also, Ultra Instinct is Goku's second most famous transformation/technique anyway...

I'm gonna cheat and insist that regular ol' Great Ape and Super Saiyan still have to exist as common starting points for everyone, and then they diverge from there.

Goku: Super Saiyan 4 (real SS4 from GT of course), bringing back Great Ape and combining it with Super Saiyan to create a new mutation with both immense ki-power and physical strength. Maximum Monkey King Mode.
Vegeta: Grade 2. Bursting with raw power designed to strike hard and fast to finish fights quickly. Over time he'd semi-master it and minimize the stress and energy drain issues.
Trunks: Grade 3. An even more powerful version of Grade 2 stemming from his greater demi-Saiyan potential, but eventually abandoned because of the crippling speed problem.
Gohan: Super Saiyan 2. The same "extra demi-Saiyan power" deal as Trunks, but channeled more naturally after he and Goku master SS1. It would still eventually get overwritten by his anti-transformation "Ultimate" state.
Broli: ...Legendary Super Saiyan. Duh.
Gogeta/Vegetto: Some probably-redesigned version of Super Saiyan 3 that evokes "this character has way more power than even they know what to do with" vibes. I saw a fan design once that reimagined SS3 as making the user glow so brightly that they started to resemble a person-shaped mass of energy. Something like that, maybe.

Nobody gets the lousy modern color-swaps.

Pretty much this. Those stylish forms are unique to them and the three Saiyans' various natures are perfectly represented by those stylish forms.
Previous Super Saiyan forms from Z look and feel outdated, wouldn't mind never seeing them again (and I though that was the way Super would go until we saw classic Super Saiyan again during the tournament against Universe 6).
Forms from GT were ALWAYS obsolete and can be safely lost forever (especially that hideous Super Saiyan 4).

The corrected Super Saiyan 4 from Daima is finally something nice and pretty stylish compared to what it was, but I can't think of who would get it. Perhaps a Saiyan from Universe 6 like Cabba or Caulifla?
Get lost, GT Super Saiyan 4. We now have a Super Saiyan 4 that's well done instead.

Because Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue are extremely stylish, they deserve to be kept. Because it suits their personality and keeps Goten's iconic hair shape, I'll give:
Goten: Super Saiyan God
Trunks: Super Saiyan Blue

Orange: Slug
Power Awakening: Saonel
Super Giant: Pirina
Golden: Kuriza

These abnormal Namekians can progress their strength this way and Piccolo can just train and fuse. Kuriza will transform in black & white as a gag.

I find it funny and sad that some fans' enjoyment of Dragon Ball depends entirely on whether or not Toriyama was involved with it.

Not me in this case. If that Super Saiyan 4 had looked worse that its GT counterpart, I would have just said there was just no saving it and to never attempt to do anything with it ever again. But in this case, it's once again a successful update, against all odds. Just like Freeza, blue-haired Trunks, C-17, Super Hero Gohan, and so on...

I just wish there was some differentiation according to character.

If Goku is going to achieve godly ki, then let Vegeta continue to amass power purely born of a saiyan - SSJ blue would look awfully cool standing next to SSJ4.

You know, instead of "it's SSJ blue but like his eyes are a little different lol"
