Rating GOKU'S Forms & Transformations: Dragonball Discussion

I have heard you all and I will do a video dedicated to forms that weren't covered here like Rose and Kaioken. How would you like this to be articulated? Tier List or typical Discussion format? Thank you for reaching out!

Tier list

[@nolanlynch2430]

Great ape Goku was pretty important in that it showed you(outside of his tail obviously) that goku was a VERY different boy. But I feel they didnt use it nearly as well as they could. 3 1/2 muffins for me.

[@jrcsmash2150]

In terms of design my favorite is SS4 because it’s the pinnacle of Saiyans. The Great Ape and Super Saiyan merged into one. Plus something I’ve always enjoyed about transformations is after each one he looks more and more intimidating. SSG and SSB don’t have that factor.

[@Kekkersboy]

It's just too busy and complicated looking for me. Looks more like something " Trying to be cool. "

JRC SMASH I agree completely. I only wish it had stayed shades of golden yellow. Or all red, no black hair

[@neptuneplaneptune3367]

@@toofastnobrakes It has Yellow Eyes but thats kinda it. Maybe at least the Hair should be the normal SSJ Yellow. i have nothing against the Red Fuer. It kinda symbolices this Primal Rage that is the Oozaru Form and key to SSJ Transformation.

[@flexican5399]

Neptune Planeptune they were gonna have it yellow, but they were kinda sick of that being the go to color. So they made it unique, even vegeta has brown hair when he is ssj4, Gogeta has red hair and darker fur, goku has a almost pinkish fur at times, so I thinks it’s more personalized to the user

[@ScienceMagicStudios]

i absolutely fell in love with kid Goku, especially Stephanie Nadolny's interpretation, i think the moment when he decided to sacrifice having his grandfather's 4 star ball in order to wish Oopa's father back to life was the true catalyst of who Goku is as a person.

[@hoodinisoar]

Yeah, it just made it look like Goku was doing pity onto Vegeta.

[@AcaciaAvenue]

AS shown during the two next times he used SSJ3 (vs fat Buu and as demonstration to Goten and Trunks), SSJ3 not only did drain a lot of his stamina, but also dramatically shortened the period of time he could stay in the mortal realm. Goku is one that loves his relatives and friends as much as he loves fighting. He also didn't have a clear picture about the whole Buu thing, he didn't know how strong Buu could actually be; also he didn't realize Vegeta's frustration, he tought he could manage that and didn't want to shorten the time available to stay with his dear ones. It wasn't at all out of pity for Vegeta, not even close to that.

[@theelike4302]

And gave us the best form for Gotenks as the over the top style matches his personality.

[@if7723]

@@AcaciaAvenue Yeah, so instead of flashing it and breaking Vegeta's spirit in an instant he decides to drag out the fight with him, burn through way more time and energy, and then get beat. 10/10 fight IQ.

Ssj4 and ssj2 are my favorites. Ssj4 is exactly what you'd imagine a race of primal warriors to look like. The return of the tail is probably my favorite part. It's so iconic.

[@toofastnobrakes]

Ssj2 and ssj4 will always be my personal favorites. Ssj4 just had all that primal Saiyan power encarnated in one form. I only wish it had either stayed shades of golden yellow or all red. No black hair

FSSJ is just SSJ they just didn't know what the colors were as Goku didn't go SSJ in the manga yet nor were they told by Toriyama about anything

[@benislazy9569]

a pelican true but he included UI goku with grand priest outfit, that’s just UI goku twice, why not ssj twice? And false super saiyan even looks and acts quite different

[@DelCaptain]

I am the one human who actually kinda likes False Super Saiyan? I don't know why, I sort of like the idea you can have a form that almost but not quite gets there, a sort of Super Saiyan 1/2, or like some weird offshoot from the very start of the whole process? Something that is erratic and short-lived, not really dependable for a fight. Does that make any kind of sense? ...It's like Gohan's rage boost made into a more formal and "refined' thing, sort of? But not really.

[@benislazy9569]

DelCaptain I actually quite liked it as well, it seems like a form of super saiyan with not the full power of normal ssj and the rage part takes over more than usual, that makes for the no pupils and violent ki that sticks to lord slugs hand after goku crushed it

[@twoocean8012]

You mean Champion Christmas?

[@Autissima]

I really enjoyed the UI transformation, it isn't used as often, yet..., and the original transformation wasn't just a 'Boop, I can do that now', with no buildup...

[@fruitfarmfactory]

You must be a new fan.

[@fly672]

@@fruitfarmfactory Well he has a point, UI is the only new transformation that didn't become commonly used and useless right after it showed up (unlike ssjg and ssjb).

[@Autissima]

I was more about the scope of super. The original SSJ is still the best Imo.

[@spaminacan5232]

UI is a technique, not a transformation

[@lancevance6346]

I'm personally not a fan of UI . Apart from the mushin stuff,it doesn't translate as something new on screen. You basically just have to imagine it in your head because they have TOLD you what it does . And neither does the animation nor choreography compliment it either. We've had crazy scenes with characters dodging at insane speeds since Z and even OG DB days like Goku vs Cell etc. Now just because they animate it in slow motion , play loud music in the background and tell you he's moving before thinking, I'm supposed to pretend something really impressive is going on on screen. Nah, It just doesn't pull me in .

[@Outcrow]

It could be an unpopular opinion, but I personally prefer Ultra Instinct Omen form to Ultra Instinct Mastered form.

[@MasakoX]

I would say you have a point. The UI Omen/Sign form has a little more mystery and mystique is always interesting. I mean ask Gohan!

[@Outcrow]

​@@MasakoX Sadly I can't. Gohan is busy attending a conference.

[@GunlessSnake]

On Kanzenshuu at least, that isn't an unpopular opinion. Many of us there prefer the non-coloured hair of the Omen precursor. The closer to a base form it is, the better.

[@bacon5869]

Same.

[@TheSahil360]

I don’t think it’s unpopular , it looks way better than Mastered UI

[@MrAngelofflames]

my favorite is SSJ4 because it brought you to your prime making you biologically immortal , was easier to maintain that SSJ1 so you can stay transformed indefinitely, it wasn't actually a Super Saiyan transformation, it was a Saiyan transformation, it had unlimited potential, and the only to get stronger at SSJ4 was to train in SSJ4.

[@TheAlmightybane]

MrAngelofflames I was just thinking “how to reword SSJ4” Because it never felt like a super saiyan to me. Thank you for the obvious in hindsight answer

[@nickmargulis3842]

Don’t you mean super saiyan god

[@elpopman2055]

I would not say it immortal I would say the Super Saiyan 4 transformation allows older Saiyans or Younger Saiyans to be Aged/Deaged to The Their Prime Years. I feel once Goku and Vegeta are least 110 aka 50 in human Years.. They Could Rely more on SS4 as they grow Older

[@elpopman2055]

@@TheAlmightybane correct Super Saiyan 4 is not really get Super Saiyan transformation is a form that transcends the Super Saiyan branch and Oozaru Branch... only Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan blue surpass it in Power.

[@TheAlmightybane]

Matt Pac for sure it was the best part of GT. It’s also one of my fav. SSJ1, because of its icon. 2, because, well, Gohan. Then 4 because the appearance and that it was the only one that pushed Goku past his natural tendency to be a good guy into his hereditary compulsory destructive nature. SSJ1 did a little bit too, but nothing like 4. And I loved that it was a type of power he couldn’t tame at once. Vegeta didn’t have that problem ,this is speculation obviously, because he had a natural evolution into his more protagonistic role where goku literally got dropped on his head lol

My favorites were Super Saiyan God and Ultra Instinct. How Goku got SSG was very interesting, he was actually troubled in how he had to rely on his friends and family in order to achieve it. That was very fascinating for me. Plus it has that weird healing power that never got shown again in the series. Ultra Instinct was really interesting in how Goku achieved it. He first achieved an incomplete version of it by accident then just completed it later. I love how he acts while in UI, quiet and focused. Only speaking when he needs to.

[@LuckyIStar]

7:53 Thank you, Masako. That always bugged me a bit that whenever characters switch bodies, their voices go with them. Like it'd be impossible to remember there was a body swap otherwise.

Ginyu: I like dat body of yours! *Two decades later* Zamasu: Hm.. I'm intrigued by the body of this mortal.

[@jamesclapham9776]

This may come as a surprise, but I love the Great Ape (Oozaru) transformation. It was as unsettling, as it was impactful. Toriyama managed to achieve, and exceed the terror brought on by werewolves in the first place. It was a terrible secret that was kept away from him, primarily to spare him from grief. And keep in mind, Kami probably witnessed the destruction of Garlic Junior's castle, and what happened to Grandpa Gohan. Makes you wonder if he agreed to take Goku on out of remorse.

[@Excalis3344]

ss blue should have had a calm collected fighting style since to go there you had to calm your mind but they dropped that

Well, Vegeta got his new form which is basically more pride than calmness and Goku got his kaioken, which is like a flame on top of a leaf. Pretty strong but it destroys the leaf like Gokus body.

I honestly would get that in a heartbeat, that game sounds interesting and so long as you get to choose what you look like, what gender you are, and can choose who you side with once frieza shows up, it'd make for a pretty great game to play. Maybe even make it so that way at a certain part, you can save the planet/escape and have your own adventures in space, maybe even get to take part in the events of the story, but without the main cast of characters from the show so that way you dont have to compete with goku (that or make it so you can either eliminate them or befriend them and the story would change according to the choices you make)

As for Super Saiyan forms for Goku, I can’t decide between Super Saiyan, 4 & God since they’re all absolutely amazing.

@@danixmax9159 Right... I don't think anyone would argue with that based on what happened in GT. If your point is that people say Super Saiyan 4 has the same multiplier as Golden Great Ape, ignore them. Super Saiyan 4 has never had an official multiplier and multipliers haven't made sense in Dragon Ball for years anyway.

[@buggytheclown1533]

@@CaptainScarLeg It does have the same multiplier as Golden great ape, but ssj3 has nothing to do with it. It’s just Golden great ape condensed down into a human form, like Brolys wrathful form, but super saiyan

[@piuuluaki4154]

super saiyan and ultra instinct is my favourite forms, they show the serious side of goku which is rare to see but when seen it really is a treat, overall they both give you the reminder of why it's good that goku's good.

GT Goku > Super Goku. At least it made sense when he acted childish.

Im not the biggest super goku fan but in GT he is stil an adult

[@ForeverOrange]

Hey cool vid, but my thing about ssjb is that yes it is tranquil on its own but goku and almost every other saiyan has trained to maintain ssj without any loss in stamina. Fpssj more like it. So we just never saw a change in the two because goku and vegeta aren’t angry in ssj like they were when they first transformed.

I'm surprised that Kaio-ken wasn't mentioned at all in this video, especially since it was the stepping stone for the transformations that would occur (outside of the Oozaru transformation), while also showcasing the pros and cons of power multiplication (at least during the Saiyan Saga and the Universe 6 Saga)

I really liked SS2 as well. It seemed so under-appreciated and under-utilized, but I can understand why even Toriyama forgot about it. The most oddly interesting thing about it is also the thing that makes it forgettable: It looks so similar to the first super saiyan form. One of the reasons I recall hearing that more characters, namely Vegeta, were never shown achieving SS3 form was because Toriyama was afraid of making the characters' faces look too similar in that form. I'm not sure that was something that was as big a problem as he seemed to believe, but SS2 is very hard to see in characters like Vegeta. His hair looks the same in base form and SS form, though with blonde hair. SS2 though? Not distinct enough to really be noticeable for Vegeta, you need to look really carefully and just kinda let the story happen without thinking too much at other times.

[@vinsennarendra7901]

My personal rating: 1. SSJ4 = 5/5 2. SSJ2 = 4.5/5 3. SSJ1= 4/5 4. UI = 3/5 5.SSJ3 = 3/5 6. SSB = 2.5/5 7. SSJG = 2/5

visually I really like ultra instinct's look when it was just mastered with goku completely obscured by light. it gave the form an indescribable feeling that the gods kept stressing. but then the veil came off and left him with the silver aura he had the first time.

[@EmeralBookwise]

I know it's a bone of contention, but I have to agree with the opinion that SS2 Goku (and SS2 Vegeta) is quite possibly Goku's most boring and pointless iteration. Yes I know SS2 has it's fans, but it was really only ever special for Gohan, and only when he very first achieved it while fighting Cell. Heck, it wasn't even really a distinct transformation back then, just Gohan finally going all out, releasing the full potential of both SS combined with his own innate rage boost. To me that's why Goku and Vegeta obtaining SS2 was always irrelevant. They never held back in the first place back like Gohan did, and so for them SS2 was just an unremarkable power up that added little no affect on either their personality or appearance. I think it's also rather telling that SS2 was never even really named as such until Goku was giving his speech about transformations to Babidi and Buu. It only ever really became the definitive second tier to set up the nomenclature for the soon to follow reveal of SS3. Speaking of SS3, I'll also stand by the contentious opinion that it is one of the best "evolutions" out of all the SS variations. Whereas almost every other variation of SS is just a straight upgrade improving all of the saiyan's abelites and rendering all previous variations obsolete, SS3 has drawbacks and so can't just be used with reckless abandon. This is a trait it really only shares with Trunks' ultra power weighted variation of SS.

[@seazonegranec]

Completely agree with you on everything

[@yeahman6907]

Curious on your thoughts Masako, but could you do a what if super lead into Gt? It’d be neat to see a better story line of gt from your perspective, and if you actually are interested might I suggest having Goku try to teach Oob ultra instinct? It’d be weird considering he’s never been trained to fight yet, but maybe Goku realizes the key to ultra instinct is to not have a preset fighting style. Thanks in advance!

[@CometX-ing]

I'm gonna be that guy and say that SS4 is IMO one of the worst designed transformation for both Vegeta and Goku. And I am talking specifically how they are designed, not how thematically they work. The maroon fur on it's own really looks silly and in conjunction with the eye liner and longer hair, it just does way too much, not to mention is basically makes Goku unrecognizable. Then there is the color choices with the rest of the look, the piss colored pants just completely clashes with the fur. The blues of the waist band, wrist bands and ankle bands are two different shades of blue. It just lacks any real unity and feels like someone just slapped some color on it. Vegeta's design isn't any better, mainly because of they opted to have his brown hair be more pronounced, and in conjunction with his red fur, navy blue jeans and lavender gloves it again feels like a hodgepodge of colors. Vegeta's design in GT in general was a major step down, regular clothing works as a one off thing, but Vegeta looks best in his regular Saiyan attire or the one that Bulma made for him. Xeno Goku fixes the color problem by having a more unified color pallet, but that doesn't help that SS4 as whole just feels like an over designed mess. Vegeta really can't be saved though, even his Xeno version just looks silly in SS4.
