Is everything  just how they show us? Four Super Saiyan forms? Nah, let’s see.

 Everyone knows about the GT Series. Here we have the Super Saiyan 4 revealed. Goku and Vegeta, they both achieved the final form and through the Fusion Dance they created or better, they became, the strongest form of GT Series.
Here you have Goku and Vegeta. And here you are, the Fusion Dance and the result, Gogeta Super Saiyan 4.

A little information about the SS4 form:

In this form almost everything changes dramatically. His voice is deeper, he is taller and his muscles become bigger. His clothes change a lot, they reselmbe the ones he used to wear as a kid.

When Goku first transforms into a Super Saiyan 3, there is a vision in his mind of him transforming from a Great Ape, to a more monkey-like Saiyan, to his adult form, and finally into a baby. The monkey-like form bears a large resemblance to Super Saiyan 4.

A little something something.
In the last movie, Battle of Gods, Goku achieves the ultimate form, Super Saiyan God.
When in this form, the Saiyan’s basic overall appearance remains unchanged with the exception of some slight differences. The skin-tone becomes more tan. The hair lifts up slightly and a obtains a reddish-purple coloring. The Saiyan’s eyes grow, becoming sharper and the irises become red. The overall body structure appears to have become thinner and slightly taller. The aura becomes more explosive and flame-like in appearance.

Of course, if you need more specific information you can ask me. That’s all, in general, that you should know.

But i won’t end it like that. Here’s some very interesting information:

Did you know?

  • Namekians grow and age much faster than Humans or Saiyans, seeing as how Piccolo was already nearly full-grown by the age of 3. Piccolo is actually only four years older than Gohan.
  • The popular internet meme “It’s Over 9000!” was actually a dubbing mistake. It was originally over 8,000 but in the Ocean Dub, they accidentally say 9000. Even now the Funimation dubs use 9000 as reference to the popular meme.
  • King Kai’s pet monkey, Bubbles, is a reference to Michael Jackson’s pet monkey, who is also named Bubbles.
  • Master Roshi is 354 years old at the end of Dragon Ball Z.
  • Tien Shinhan has fought every major Dragon Ball Z villain except Frieza for the obvious reason that he was dead at the time.
  • Master Roshi created the Kamehameha and it took 50 years to master it.

Super Saiyan 5 ? Not true. This was created basically from fans as a joke: Dragon Ball AF.
Dragon Ball AF was the subject of an “April Fool’s” joke in 1997 (following the end of Dragon Ball GT, the third and last series), which concerned a fourth anime installment of the Dragon Ball series. It has since gained popularity, been the basis for various fictional works by fans.

How many DragonBall movies are there? How many sagas? Read to find out.

 After their fights and struggles they all reunite at the Tenkaichi Budōkai three years later and meet Kame-Sen’nin‘s rival and Taopaipai’s brother, Tsuru-Sen’nin and his students who vow to exact revenge. Krillin is killed and Goku chases after the killer, leading him to Piccolo Daimao, who easily defeats him. The samurai Yajirobe takes Goku to Karin, where he receives healing and a power boost. Meanwhile Piccolo fights and kills Kame-Sen’nin and Chaozu and uses the Dragon Balls to regain his youth before destroying Shenlong. Goku then begins his battle with Piccolo Daimao, who, just before dying, spawns his son/reincarnation Piccolo. Karin informs Goku that Kami (God), the original creator of the Dragon Balls, might be able to restore Shenlong so that he can wish his friends back to life, which he does. He also stays and trains under Kami for the next three years, once again reuniting with his friends at the Tenkaichi Budōkai. Piccolo Jr. also enters the tournament to avenge his father, leading to the final fight between him and Goku. Goku just narrowly wins before quickly leaving with Chi-Chi and lastly they get married.

DragonBall Z
After 5 years, Goku meets his older brother Raditz, who reveals to him that they are members of a nearly extinct race called the Saiyans (Saiya-jin).  Then he learns that the Saiyans had sent him to Earth as an infant to conquer the planet for them, but he suffered a severe head injury soon after his arrival and lost all memory of his mission, as well as his blood-thirsty Saiyan nature. But Goku refused to help his brother and by sacrifising himself and with the help of Piccolo they killed him. However, Goku is revived a year later by the Dragon Balls, after training in the afterlife, with the North Kaiō, in order to save the Earth from Nappa and the Saiyan prince Vegeta. In the battle Yamcha, Chaozu, Tenshinhan and Piccolo are killed. The death of Piccolo vanished the DragonBalls due to Piccolo being one with Kami. However, they learn that Piccolo and Kami are called Namekians (Namekku-seijin) and they have their own planet Namek (Namekku-sei) where exists the planets own DragonBalls. So Goku decided to go to Namek to revive his friends. However, the galactic tyrant Freeza is already there with his minions and Vegeta (who later teams up with Goku to fight the Ginyu Force). The final long battle with Freeza and Goku comes to a close after Goku transforms into a legendary Super Saiyan (Sūpā Saiya-jin) and avenges the lives of billions across the galaxy.

After three years, the former Doctor Gero (the former leader of Red Ribbon Army) appeared with a group of Androids (Jinzōningen, “Artificial Humans”) he created, seeking revenge against Goku. Unfortunately, by the same time another life form make his appearance, Cell, who absorbed 2 of the Androids to transform into his ”perfect form”. All the heroes together tried to protect Earth, but Goku sacrificed himself for nothing. Though, Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form killed Cell and avenged his father. I have to add that the final blow is known to Gamers, as ”Father-Son Kamehameha” and Gohan used only his right hand. (you may see in some videos that Gohan uses his left hand, that’s edit for the copyrights. In my old collection of the DBZ original episodes, Gohan uses his right hand.)

Here you can see when Goku achieved his Super Saiyan form for the first time, Gohan’s Super Saiyan 2 form and a little of the Father-son Kamehameha.

Seven years later, Goku revived and his allies are drawn into yet another fight for the universe against a magical being named Majin Boo. After a lot of battles Goku achieved to destroy Boo by borrowing the power of Earth. Ten years later, at another Tenkaichi Budōkai, Goku meets Boo’s human reincarnation, Oob. Leaving the match between the two of them unfinished, Goku takes Oob away on a journey to train him.

Why? I’ll be explaining so shortly.

For a start, let’s begin with the story: Here we have Son Goku as the main character ( also known as Goku in the American and English version). Goku was a monkey-tailed boy when he found Bulma and together they started their quest to find the seven dragonballs, which grant the user any wish they desire before spreading back out across the world.

So, during their journey Goku made a lot of allies as  Yamcha and Chi-Chi (whom Goku unknowingly agrees to marry) and encountered the villain Pilaf. Goku then undergoes rigorous training regimes under the martial artist Kame-Sen’nin in order to fight in the Tenkaichi Budōkai ( “Strongest Under the Heavens Martial Arts Tournament”) that attracts the most powerful fighters in the world. A monk named Kuririn(also known as Krillin) becomes his training partner and rival, but they soon become best friends.  After the tournament, Goku sets out on his own to recover the Dragon Ball his Grandfather left him and encounters the Red Ribbon Army, whose leader wants to collect the Dragon Balls for himself. He almost single-handedly defeats the army, including their hired assassin Taopaipai, whom he originally lost to, but after training under the hermit Karin, now easily beats. Goku reunites with his friends to defeat the fortuneteller Baba Uranai‘s fighters and have her locate the last Dragon Ball in order to revive a friend killed by Taopaipai.

The storyline didnt move you? Ok, then lets talk with facts!
Since its release, Dragon Ball has become one of the most successful manga and anime series of all time. The manga’s 42 volumes have sold over 156 million copies in Japan and more than 230 million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling series in manga history. Reviewers have praised the art, characterization, and humor of the story. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest manga series ever made. The anime, particularly Dragon Ball Z, is also highly popular in various countries and was arguably one of the most influential in greatly boosting the popularity of Japanese animation in Western culture.
