Super Saiyan Blue: Here Is How You FIX It! | MasakoX

My feelings towards Super Saiyan Blue in #DragonBallSuper have changed a lot over the years...but now I think we all believe it's a bit of a letdown. What can #DragonBall do to fix it? How can WE fix it? Well I have a theory about that - well more accurately, I have three theories. Join me as we use our knowledge to find ways to make Blue more appealing. #Goku #opinion #dragonballwhatif

[@AkuTenshiiZero]

The issue with these form changes, and with DBZ in general, is that after a certain point they stopped trying to SHOW us how powerful these characters are, and they had to start TELLING us. SS Blue LOOKS just as strong as classic SS, but we're TOLD it's stronger. This is why I'm a little more OK with Ultra Instinct, because it fundamentally changes the way Goku fights and thus really stands out as unique. It's not just "New hair color = More powerful."

[@WitnessesSay]

Ultra instinct probably does the best job at being an actual proper transformation, right below ssj 1

[@zorro8027]

How to fix blue 1.) make it rare to see. 2.) only show it against super strong opponents 3.) when it is shown make it a very long, brutal fight.

[@ThatsOk83]

Basically UI

[@zorro8027]

Raenar Braun Not necessarily. At this point, Ssjblue is a multiverse buster. But more and more characters are asspulled to give it a “good fight” The fan base is tired of seeing that form for every little thing. Giving it a more scarce appearance and actually making it look as strong as it is will give it a much better reputation.

[@DZlegend]

Stop using it against people like Krillin and then saying the ki control allowed him to lower his power. I mean if he transforms to make himself weaker why not just stay base. Maybe someone will say it's to make himself weaker than his base but that just sounds dumb.

[@zorro8027]

DZ Legend Exactly. And worst part is that in DBZ goku was stated to have perfect KI control of all his forms except for Ssj3. Meaning that he can easily control his KI in base form. Ssjb wasn’t necessary for anyone in the ToP except for Jiren. The bad writing made Kefla and Anizara above ssjb fro whatever reason, even though ssjb was stated to “have power that rivals even the gods” Which just pissed me off even more. I guess everyone in dB is G.O.D tier now.

[@DZlegend]

@@zorro8027 I'll give Kefla a pass. Tbh I liked the saiyan girls. More so Caulifla. I could believe that she was actually a prodigy and that Kale's berserk form was like a mini Broly so I can see how blue was needed for Kefla. Blue was also needed for full power Toppo. But yea Goku did a whole training regimen to make SSJ1 a natural form for him. Blue is just about not letting Ki run wild but wasn't that what his training did?

[@diophantine6677]

In addition to everything you've said, I think a big problem is that it came right after BoG. We only saw Super Saiyan God (which we all loved) for one fight. I liked the design of Blue. The aura is really cool, and is my favourite aura of all the forms. It just came out of nowhere when we had only just got to grips with the whole new level of power.

[@TheSefirosu200x]

[@littlemoth4956]

I agree SSG should've had more uses but disagree that it came out of nowhere. Their training with Whis was a whole part of the series

[@OnlySayori]

super saiyan god is just your base with god ki, going into super saiyan with it makes ssjb, and they have already mastered ssj, and harder forms, so it makes sense they could go into it easily what doesnt make sense is why people dont understand why ssjg isnt shown much, probably cause of the aura this is the same series where ssj3 wasnt shown much cause of its long hair, so why would an aura be out of the picture to simply just not use it much?

[@jimfine8001]

I 100% agree with you. SSB should be built up to when they fight a stronger opponent to show how serious they are. The way it's built up when Goku fights Jiren and Broly were both great I'd wish they'd do that more

[@DarkEclipse23]

Jim Fine that’s probably when they fixed the issue. It wouldn’t surprise me that they thought it was lackluster in RoF so they tried fixing it in the ToP and Broly movie. The problem was that they just chucked ‘huge opponents’ arc after arc so they would have no choice but to go all out from the beginning. Jiren was a different case because Goku didn’t know how strong h was and needed to save his energy. And Broly just kept getting stronger - thus he needed to boost himself as well.

[@briang3598]

One of the things the manga does so much better. For instance, the technique of using SSG for a heavy opponents, and intermittently switching on the blue for a brief augmentation in speed and strength, but not holding it constantly because it would be too big of a drain on energy

[@TheSefirosu200x]

Even though they were doing a DBCember, and at least 50% of Dragon Ball is contrarianism for it's own sake because Toriyama hates going down the obvious path. And now Masako saying that Blue was half baked even though most of Dragon Ball beyond the first arc is just ideas that Toriyama made up on the fly without much deep thought behind them.

@@gergernzero6904 it was probably blue cause if it was orange ya'know the mixture of what ssjg and ssj would be realistically it'd be hard to tell the difference between ssj and ssjb, so to make it blue was the safer bet

[@PlagueOfGripes]

Blue was a mistake. And since it's just mashing two forms together, you can't get rid of it either. The thing to do with it is to throw in something else, so their default is a modified design. Evolution is as good as that horrible blue is ever going to look. I'd personally delete it forever and roll back to the awesome looking red we never got to use correctly.

[@TheDunsparceGames]

at least goku used red in the top really cleverly (red drains much less stamina than blue so he used red when being attacked and blue when going on the offensive when he needed that extra punch) but blue was unfortunately really underwhelming

[@lenlimbo]

Red should have been their goal to achieve *on their own* without any help, with Blue being the crutch until they reach Red. That would also fit with Toriyama's "Red color feels strong while Blue feels weak". They can't really control god Ki yet, so they mix it with their super saiyan transformation to get a boost in power, but weaker than a true godly transformation. And then you can go to UI if needed. But no, they *ALWAYS* have to up the ante, don't mind that Beerus was still much stronger than Golden Frieza and Red was able to give him something like a fight.

[@lenlimbo]

@@scivoid I could agree with you if it wasn't for UI. That's base form hair, basically (well, a tiny bit more wild). Sure, UI is, technically, a technique instead of a transformation, but the eyes and the hair change, so... That said, what you propose would also work.

[@alcatrazvongola]

It would've also been amazing if Goku revealed SSB whenever he was fighting Hit for the first time. Since SSB is apparently all about better ki control, it would've hit us the double whammy of Goku showing off a new form and bringing back Kaioken. It would've added even more tension to the fight and hit our nostalgia buttons. Kaioken Blue was all about mixing the old era of DB with the new one.

[@HybridAngelZero]

I really like Blue, I always felt that it was sort of a combination of Super Saiyan's power boost with standard form's precise Ki control (hence the ability to use it with Kaioken) and also, in regards to him using it in the fight against Krillin, I always interpreted that as Goku wanting to give Krillin a taste of how powerful the opposition in the tournament was going to be

[@Remuko]

With your colour theory it would make sense to use ssjblue against krillin and such, so he could read into them better. Maybe that could be an explanation why Goku used it... I actually like this fix alot.

[@TheDunsparceGames]

the logic behind goku using blue on krillin was to prepare him for the ridiculously strong guys at the top so the color theory actually fits in nicely here especially since goku says and i quote: “krillin, what will you do now?”

If we go with the chakra theory, then having Goku get more creative with his ki moves would be really fun. We’ve seen that ki can be used to form pretty much anything. Spheres, discs, lightning, halos, there doesn’t seem to be any outright limit.

The best redesign for Super Saiyan Blue is turning it into Super Saiyan Orange, change my mind

[@Im_The_Meh]

Super Sayian Violet, change MY mind

[@dandyspacedandy]

@@Im_The_Meh why would it turn violet? Super Saiyan God's red hair mixing with super saiyan's blond hair and turning orange should be a no brainer

[@Im_The_Meh]

@@dandyspacedandy too be honest I thought you were saying orange because it might be your favorite which is why I said violet

[@dandyspacedandy]

@@Im_The_Meh choosing random colors was the whole problem lmao

[@Im_The_Meh]

@@dandyspacedandy That being said I feel super saiyan violet could be like a corrupt version of ssgss/ssb that make the user lose control. idk just throwing out an idea

[@TotallyNotCPU]

Wait, SSB got an EZA?! Someone tell D-Free, we've been waiting for this for forever now!

[@pikachufantastic]

Wait what!

[@MrAwesomeNarwhal]

xenoverse 2 showed us them training in the weird whis chamber thingie, I think it also showed us them getting blue. Wish the anime did that.

[@blinketo197]

Great review, and awesome ideas!

[@lapizzkid1222]

This video has gotten me feeling a little BLUE! I’ll see myself out...

[@Tjoggs]

I think ultra instict is "primal" rather than "elegant". Basically being more instinctive than reflective. From that point of view I don't agree with the fix that ssblue would be a light ultra instinct.

[@LeRodz]

I think the best way to fix the design of SSB is to simply make the form more like SSG, such as giving it a skinnier body and a more "peaceful" looking face, instead of just giving a Super Saiyan a blue hair dye.

[@OnlySayori]

its a MIX of ssjg and ssj, now what are those forms? a spiky haired form mixed with a form that just changes the color of your hair, so what does that make? a form that looks exactly like the form with the spiky hair aka ssj

[@dandyspacedandy]

11:33 I feel like this mood shift should be applied only to early uses of Super Saiyan Blue. Similarly to how most Super Saiyan transformations were reached through rage and outbursts of emotion.

[@skullythekidd0175]

SSblue being more elegant... then does goku get a British accent while being blue?

[@wyattsidwell6115]

SkullytheKidd01 no but he does when he goes Rosé

[@TaffieTheCapy]

Hey, big fan, but...for as much as you talk up how emotionally impactful Super Saiyan transformations can and should be, you seem to give out SSJ2 rather easily in your what-ifs.

[@someguycalledgoober155]

Watching your videos and Totalnotmark's videos on characters, kinda makes me want to make my own what-ifs/fan stories. Mainly a what-if about the Androids arriving early (end of the original series) and a story about the Red Ribbon Army making a clone of Goku, who ends up going his own path. Sorta taking ideas from X-23's origin, with his "mom" taking him away from the lab so they can live a normal life. I am hoping to, however, if I write this, make him his own sorta thing. As for the Androids arriving early thing, that is A. To make a pretty cool Gohan arc, and B. Make a Trunks Black arc.

Thank you Masako very cool

[@peterohlhornjr]

You wanna be blue?? Well then I'll just become.. BLUER!!!!!!

[@flamingblade3076]

super saiyan dark blue

[@LordLegionare]

Gotta say, I adore Super Saiyan Blue. It's possibly my favorite transformation out of all of them (due in part to the ability to use Kaioken with it, which itself is actually what got me interested in Dragon Ball again a few years ago) but I must say that you make some fantastic points here, and I like your idea of having it be used as a stepping stone for Ultra Instinct.

[@augustoeremita7940]

Well. It's official, Masako's SSB origin is part of my headcannon

[@cosplayingzoroark7292]

I like ssb but I always thought it acted like a dimmer switch. At max, it’s much stronger than ssg, but because it’s better control of god ki it should make all other forms weaker useless because blue can just dial in that much power. But they still showcase the older forms because marketing. I can be wrong tho

[@toribot1768]

The love you gave qauman should make you friends with him trust.

[@matti.8465]

I love the drawing in the thumbnail! You should comission this person more often.

[@ashethevoid]

Still impressed by your ability to nearly perfect character voices. That Whis voice is inspiring! 👍

[@crisisboy5822]

Did we just get a preview for the super saiyan transformation

[@Borderlines]

These are scenarios which have tremendous levels of gravitas, presence and... SPLENDA?! 😲 J/k masako ily

[@jamarcusrussell2124]

Great video and observation. I agree!

[@atlas0222]

If would’ve been cool if, whenever Goku and Vegeta were in blue and they got angry, instead of getting a boost in power they just got kicked out of blue and had to calm themselves down before they could transform again

[@youtubeuser4107]

MasakoX can you go work in the DB Super writer’s room please? XD

[@darktigersharkmax4432]

Masako goku was obviously holding back against krillin and 17. Goku used the other transformations to gauge jiren's strength. I wouldn't change anything I like blue's introduction.

[@DarkEclipse23]

Tiger Shark Max i think at least the debut could have been better just a little. Maybe jumping to super saiyan god beforehand and whatnot. Had a slight dramatic flare.

[@darktigersharkmax4432]

@@DarkEclipse23 Yeah there are ways to make it better but I'm fine with hiw it is

[@tylerroach928]

I really like SSB but I would change 1 thing, it's stated that it provides better ki control so I think it should come with new abilities like Zamasu's ki weapons or beams from their feet or mouth just more unique ki manipulation in general

[@CrazeWayYT]

Goku did not struggle to turn SSJB in the Broly movie. He was trying to go MUI, you see his hair flicker silver for a moment before he goes blue. After all, when Broly is overwhelming Goku, we see Vegeta go blue in seconds to join the battle.

[@axenthballard7825]

IF THEY JUST USED BLUE LESS AND USED GOD MORE THAN THE FORM WOULDA HAD MORE IMPACT

[@shinysamurott613]

That's exactly what I'm saying.

[@prankinball9117]

Hey MasakoX! I'm Senior48. Since you already fix Super Saiyan Blue, I have an idea to fix Super Saiyan 3. I would change from a form that Goku claim to be his discovery with no real evidence to a form that had a purpose to exist. For Example: Goku is in the Final Round of some Tournament. (Not the "Goku vs Pikkon" one) and He's about to fight his last Opponent. His Opponent was a calm person with selfless personality, completely opposite to Goku. That fight taught Goku something important. *Be Cautious.* When he's fighting, he can't let his ego cloud his mind. If he do that, He's gonna erase his Existence. He trained his Body, Mind and Power so much that he earn a new form. Super Saiyan 3. That form erase his ego and made him cautious while fighting. Now he will never risk everyone's life ever again..... Sorry for my bad English.

[@RickyUzumaki993]

TeamPrankinBall Not bad

[@TeryJones]

Well yeah I'd also go with that throat chakra concept, since you explained it that's actually quite perfect, but I'd also make it a slight elemental power. Same with red. Red would be more fire based, his hair showing subtle signs of being literal flame but not appearing as such, symbolizing his new ability to weaponize his own body heat and make things hotter for the opponent if they are too close. Maybe even use his hands to pass microwaves into the opponent to fry them from the inside. Blue in turn would be the next step, electricity. His hair would subtly be like jagged crystal surging with EMP. And much like the thunderbolt he would move as quick as a flash even faster than normal. Pretty much just using the Instant Transmission without needing to concentrate, now it is an automated body function just like breathing or moving any of his fingers. His brain synapses and nervous system now do all the work allowing him to teleport fast enough to become a being almost like the Cheshire Cat, everywhere and nowhere. Also his body is a highly conductive living battery, using a weaponized static shock to make him dangerous for enemies to even touch him. And for the love of Pete, make the damn blue hair more appealing than that ugly looking cyan they went with. Also change the bloody name to something better like "Super Saiyan Titan".

[@robopancake9880]

Never thought a little throat chakra would make SSJB seem so much more powerful. Amazing vid!

[@ZeddtheVHSotaku]

Joke's on you. I'm already subscribed to Qaaman.

[@dragonkingoscurare1092]

Not hating the transformation, but for me SSJ3 and SSJ4 are my favorite ones those look badass though Super Saiyan God was good as well.

[@Ryutix]

Your impressions are really good

[@kensosaramos]

And since the next hue change / dye from yellow is blue would Golden Frieza be aptly named Colder Frieza When Goku gets his SsGss2 or super saiyan Purple?

[@jackthegreek6092]

I mean i would if liked it if Toriyama at least kept visiual consistency and gave it SSJ Gods eyes, maybe even go so far as to leave the eyes red.

[@nightwalker174]

America Eagle Or a red super saiyan with spiked hair. And then give the blue to Vegeta. Signifying attaining it on your own. Let people have different Aura colors. Not just copies.

[@jackthegreek6092]

@@nightwalker174 No. You aren't the only one suggesting that but there would simply ve too many colirs to keep track off than.

[@nightwalker174]

America Eagle There's already too many colors to keep track of. Your argument makes no sense. Goku gets red and Vegeta gets blue. How is that more complicated than what it is now? If anything, it's less complicated.

[@jackthegreek6092]

@@nightwalker174 No. Each color is a different stage. It would be confusing if Goku and Vegeta each got a different color. What would you do for an ancor then? There are only so many colors. Also SSJ has this rule where the same stage looks the same for everybody. Its an unspoken rule but im glad its not broken.

[@nightwalker174]

America Eagle That's not a rule. That's never been established. Stop talking out of your ass.

[@kalajel]

The thing most people fail to get with the Goku blue vs. Krillin is that it's not that Krillin was so strong that Goku had to resort to blue, but rather Goku wanted to show Krillin the sort of power levels he might very well encounter during the tournament of power. In fact, Krillin ended up winning, not by overpowering Goku, but by using his head.

[@Barely___Editing]

[@irishONgaming]

That Thumbnail! I’d recognize that art style anywhere. AE Double! A great artist

[@Stephanie-kh6nx]

I always felt that Goku and Vegeta should have kept the red God state for a while. Then having them and Future Trunks forced to go against Goku Black who turns SS Rose would have been awesome. Especially if the ending had Trunks be the first one to go True Blue as he defeated Goku Black with spirit sword. Then his ending of his story being taken by Chronoa to become Xeno would be great because Goku could have ended it with saying Future Trunks had left them with "something to work towards" like he did the first time when Trunks gave him heart medicine. It would just have been perfect.

[@CadentClock39]

Personally I 💙 Super Saiyan Blue. But Yeah, It's Very Poorly Handled And Wasn't Introduced Properly.

Looking bacl, yeah, Blue is pretty underwhelming. With this new insight in hand, I hope you apply it to your different what ifs

[@KuroKaizer]

I personally love it, i may be a little biast due to it being my favourite colour, but its actually quite well used in super come the u6 vs u7 tournament, the greater ki control required to use the form allowed him to use the kaioken again, always found it a shame he stopped using it seeing as that and the spirit bomb are kinda his only attacks that are exclusive to him(never actually see king kai use them) so i was so happy when this greatly coloured super saiyan form brought back such a great technique
