Dragon Ball: 5 strongest non-canonical transformations into Super Saiyan forms

Since the first Super Saiyan metamorphosis occurred back in 1991, Dragon Ball has been recognized for its characters’ capacity for transformation.

Every superhero, from Goku to Vegeta, has a specialization when it comes to transformation. In addition, once they have mastered their power, their continual power-ups have an impact on their own Super Saiyan forms.

The following are a few of the most amazing non-canonical changes that have happened in the anime over the years.

5. Goku’s as Super Saiyan 4 

After fading into relative obscurity, the Super Saiyan 4 form eventually made a reappearance as its fan base grew worldwide. The thing that makes this appearance so appealing, even though the majority of people may not like it, is how different it is from the other Super Saiyan forms. When Goku made an appearance in the Dragon Ball GT series, his red fur, black hair, and tail, along with his red eyeliner, were met with mixed reviews among Goku fans.

4. Trunks as Super Saiyan God 

Consequently, even with the celebration of his unlocking both Super Saiyan 1 and 2 forms, not to mention his amazing transformation into the special Super Saiyan Rage form, Trunks’s fans were a little disappointed that he didn’t have the Super Saiyan God transformation, which boasts of glorious red hair, an incandescent aura, and a perfectly calm manner. Trunks has made himself a fan-favorite character in the Dragon Ball universe since his first appearance in the series.

3. Goku as false Super Saiyan 

From discovering his true identity to receiving frequent power-ups to becoming the God Ki, Goku’s path has been amazing. Despite appearing just briefly in the Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug film, its majesty and raw grandeur have left a lasting impression. The biggest difference between it and the other Super Saiyan forms is that Goku’s natural black hair and golden aura are still present, along with his white eyes.

2. Vegeta as Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Vegeta have always matched each other in terms of strength. Honoring one of the most illustrious rivalries in manga and anime, they have consistently succeeded in obtaining what the other has, or a power comparable to it, even if Goku has been able to maintain his lead throughout by a narrow margin.

1. Bardock as Super Saiyan 

Despite having little on screen time, Bardock is one of the most important characters in the Dragon Ball series and has long been a favorite among fans. Even though, like the majority of Saiyans at the time, he belonged to a lower social class, his crucial role has set the stage for nearly everything that happens in the series. He also has average strength. In a Bardock episode he was shown transforming into Super Saiyan form to battle Chilled, a villain who also happened to be Frieza’s ancestor.
