number ten Goku attained Super Saiyan 4
love or hate it at least something good
did come out of Dragon Ball GT after a
less than stellar 34 episodes
things finally started to pick up
halfway through the baby saga after
transforming it’s a golden oozaru which
was hinted at in the past audiences were
treated to a brief look into Goku’s
fractured mind before super saiyan 4 was
the design is pretty divisive with the
audience but the experience was made
even better due to how long fans were
waiting to see Goku is an adult once
again grandpa I need to know are you
no benign Goku Super Saiyan blue
kaio-ken according to our Houston linear
double once super sane was introduced
kaio-ken quickly became obsolete created
by King Kai Goku successfully uses the
technique multiple times in the Saiyan
and Namek sagas fast forward more than
two decades and the powerup is suddenly
[Music]
in the final battle of the universe six
tournament the assassin here has Goku on
the ropes so the same activates kaio-ken
while in his Super Saiyan blue form
come on Goku King Kai said to never go
number eight freezes final form
emperor of universe seven and all-around
bad dude pinkles son is arguably the
most iconic villain of the franchise
born with enough power to destroy entire
planets Frieza did not need to train a
single day in his life while fighting
Vegeta on Namek the sadistic ruler goes
through a handful of transformations
[Applause]
after announcing there is one more
change

having freezes final form be way smaller
but much scarier
[Music]
number seven Vegeta goes Super Saiyan
God Super Saiyan power it’s amazing this
one is for planet Vegeta resurrection F
brought back Frieza who is revived by
the remnants of his army after training
for four months the villain achieves his
golden form and heads to earth for some
sweet revenge with go cooling helpless
on the floor Frieza summons Vegeta and
asked him to prove his allegiance by
killing off Kakarot but I’ve already
made my decision I’m going to pulverize
you until there’s nothing left
instead the prince transforms
effortlessly into the Super Saiyan God
Super Saiyan wiping the smoke light off
freezes face considering Vegeta used to
be terrified of the tyrant this role
reversal provided much-needed closure
I’ve been a Super Saiyan for years and
now I too have the power but God number
6 perfect cell soon he will be the
greatest adversary I have ever faced
damn you Vegeta and yes stupid pride
semi-perfect cell was far from a
pushover but Vegeta and trunks had the
upper hand during their fights
unfortunately the same prince
prioritized his own ego and refused to
deliver the final blow until sella to
perfection after swallowing up Android
18 we are then treated to a mesmerizing
light show as the villain slowly reveals
[Applause]
being one of the best villains of the
franchise this transformation is fondly
remembered as a standout moment of the
anime
[Music]
number five Vegeta is finally Super
Saiyan I’ll finish these androids but
then your next got it
better late than never after seeing Goku
and his unborn son beaten to the punch
Vegeta finally managed to turn Super
Saiyan during the Android saga as far as
transformations go this one is rather
short and straight to the point with the
same Prince delivering a one-liner
before powering up not him true the
sequence that follows is the real
highlights as a quick overview is shown
of the harsh training Vegeta put himself
through to be able to achieve this form
Shaw or Vegeta might be kind of a dick
but he earned his right to gloat I
[Applause]
number four awakening of ultra instinct
