Saiyan Transformations

Series Transformations

Great Ape (大猿)
User: Son Goku, Son Gohan, Vegeta
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 21 / Dragon Ball Episode 12

This enormous ape form is triggered by basking in the light of a full moon. By transforming into a Great Ape, one's own battle power will rise sharply by ten-fold. Only when a Saiyan's eyes absorb the sunlight bouncing off of the moon (a special light known as Bruits Waves) will their tail react and cause the transformation. This transformation only occurs when the Bruits Waves being absorbed exceed 17,000,000 Zeno, which is only possible during a full moon.[1]

Super Saiyan (超サイヤ人)
User: Gotenks, Son Goku, Son Gohan, Son Goten, Vegeta, Trunks, Vegetto, Broli, Bardock, etc.
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 317 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 95

An ultimate Saiyan warrior who has exceeded Saiyan limitations. Originally, the existence of this legendary being was held in doubt amongst even the Saiyans. In reality, any Saiyan who has a high battle power beyond a certain level can become a Super Saiyan. There are several crucial elements to becoming a Super Saiyan; one must have a gentle heart, be exposed to an extreme sense of danger, be filled with a strong anger, be tormented with sorrow, and feel as if the fate of the Saiyan race itself is at risk. A Super Saiyan is embued with a golden aura and hair (which will stand on end), the sharp eyes of a hawk, and emerald green pupils. In addition to the outward change in appearance, a 50-times increase in the Saiyan's ordinary battle power is proof of the legendary strongest warrior's existence.[2]

Super Saiyan Grade II (超サイヤ人第2段階)
User: Son Goku, Trunks, Vegeta
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 377 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 155

By sending ki to focus all the nerves in his body, a Saiyan can swell his muscles in order to power up. This form experiences an exceptional increase in power and speed compared to normal Super Saiyans.[3]

Super Saiyan Grade III (超サイヤ人第3段階)
User: Son Goku, Trunks
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 386 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 162

The user's muscles swell out to the maximum, enabling him to draw out tremendous power. However, it diminishes his speed as his movement grows dull from the great strain placed upon his body.[4]

Super Saiyan 2 (超サイヤ人2)
User: Son Goku, Son Gohan, Vegeta, Gotenks[5]
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 408 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 184

A form which possesses a power exceeding that of a Super Saiyan's. Though Gohan achieves this form naturally in an explosion of anger after witnessing Cell's cruel nature, Goku and Vegeta master it through relentless training.[6]

Super Saiyan 3 (超サイヤ人3)
User: Son Goku, Gotenks
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 474 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 245

The form which draws out a Saiyan's maximum inner power. However, the downside is that it exhausts massive energy, and outside of the Afterlife, the transformation cannot be maintained for any longer than just a little while.[7]

User: Son Goku
