Super Saiyans

Super Saiyans

Super Saiyan (超サイヤ人, Sūpā Saiya-jin) is an advanced transformation assumed by extraordinarily powerful members of the Saiyan race in the Dragon Ball franchise, as well as Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball parody manga, Neko Majin. Three further transformations succeed Super Saiyan (two in the manga), and the premier Super Saiyan form has three additional branch states. There are also two totally different types of Super Saiyan that appear in the films (the False Super Saiyan and Legendary Super Saiyan).

Super Saiyan 2

This stage is easily more powerful than a normal Super Saiyan form, their hair gets a little longer and muscles bulge more. Only three of the Saiyans reach this stage: Gohan reaches it during the Cell Games,
and Goku and Vegeta both reach it when they are fighting each other
and Vegeta is turned into Majin Vegeta. Super Saiyan 3

This stage is one of the most odd looking stages, with hair almost down to feet, eyebrow ridges pused out and eyebrows completly gone. All this Physical deformity equals an immense sorce of Power. Goku and Gotenks the fused warrior of Goten and Trunks are the only Saiyans to reach this form, they both reach it in the Buu Saga. Chibi Goku also known as Goku jr, reaches this level in Dragon Ball GT

Super Saiyan 4

This form can only be seen in Dragon Ball GT seris. This form is a mix between Oozaru and human, in this form, warriors keep their regular hair color, grow red fur across some of their body (except SSJ4 Gogeta, who has brown fur and red hair). Some belive this is the true form of a Super Saiyan, because the Golden Oozaro can be reached from this form. Also, a Golden Oozaro is shown in the background when Vegeta explains the Super Saiyan story. This is said to be the legendary form. It was achieved first by Goku . He achieved this form through sorrow; which appears to be why people achieve this level. Vegeta achieved it through a brute ray gun Buruma invented. And their eyes become light brown and their muscles are a lot bigger.
