See these videos is what I like about you because I’m very interested in the effects of some moves in DB/DBZ/DBGT/DBS or transformations and the real requirements for them. Very interesting and informative.

[@SuperSaiyanScience]

I’m very happy to hear this man!! Main reason why I enjoy making content so much is reading these comments. I’ve covered most of the SSJ grades, SSJ2 & I guess 3 if you count the hair video, SSJ4 & Broly’s Ikari state so only a few states left to do. But I want to take a break from transformations and cover few other science DB topics before coming back to wrap it up with SSG, SSB & MUI & the other remaining forms

To be honest it looks more like he amplifies his energy by rapidly drawing on energy in the air after releasing stale energy and then merging the newly drawn energy into his muscles, therefore amplifying speed strength agility, and reflexes for a short time. Even we could do that but without the glow. However much like kaioken it would drain your body afterwards and also make you sore if used too much. Like kaioken it combines negative and positive energy, granting more attributes but slowly wears down your body.

[@VegetaPrinceOfSaiyans]

[@linyenchin6773]

You are right that it resembles fight or flight reaction making you experience adrenaline rush and even "time dilation" that makes your reflex much better than normal. Here is my own opinion: *My explanation of Kaioken:* Following the rhythm of breath, blood circulates in correspondence to the way your focus and concentration of attention shift. The way they shift from moment to moment in capitalizing on the inertia of intent, capitalizing on intent much like your joints are designed to capitalize on kinestic force through chaining the flow of those joints in specific sequence of action. The explicit use of breath to stimulated blood flow, grants greater "conductivity" for the intent(ki) which that blood conveys by nurturing your neevous system. This nurtured nervous system then regulates breath to further enhance the blood's capacity to gather and express the intent you seek to leverage. *Kaioken is a "positive feedback loop" between breath, blood and intent,* this is why the body begins to obergeat as the oxygenation of blood reaches the level of burning away that very blood which comes out in the form of a bloody steam from the boiling blood plasma that is rapidly being scattered through your "ionic wind" type of aura that serves as ablative cooling. This colling of the body heats the immediate atmosphere around the body thus the flame red aura that also facilities flight on top of helping you fold ambient gas of the atmosphere into jets of plasma we call ki blasts.

[@OrackSaiyajin]

Like the analogy you made with the fight or flight response. Yeah we humans cant control it, but it is a nice thought to think, as Goku could possibly control it somehow to output more energy (in other words kaioken). Very interesting video man, job well done ^^

[@SuperSaiyanScience]

Thank you!! Yeah in the future I'll think about putting out a video of the negative effects of kaio-ken and what happens with people - it would be largely based on what happens with us because our long term symptoms are much worse

I've developed a form of kaioken suited for human use, when I pushed it to ×16 after 9 seconds it gave me a feeling similar to a heart attack, it also damaged my muscles a good bit to where they where sore for 3 days. Even with the toned down human version it still easily damaged my body.. kaioken is no joke 😮‍💨 Edit: I'm extremely well build so if someone used ×16 for the same amount of time as me it would cause severe muscle tears and some sort of heart damage

[@VegetaPrinceOfSaiyans]

@@kinggold9087 When you inhale your heart rate naturally goes up a few bpm. If you can learn to increase your heart rate through focus only, after enough practice you can combine it with the inhale and augment the heart rate increase. I use this during lifting and it consistenly makes the lifts easier. If i do it hard enough it feels exactly like a typical adrenaline rush and i get spasms and a red flush in my face. As far as learning to increase your heart rate only through thought, this is very hard to explain.

[@ZoltroMAX]

Do you want to use a real life kaioken? Just flex all your body the most you can, you WILL get stronger and your punches WILL get faster, although, it will really make you feel tired af BtW, don’t push yourself too much, cuz just like if goku uses a kaioken 100x, he can die, I don’t know if this can kill you, but you can pass out, so DON’T FUCK YOUR BODY UP btw sorry for bad english i’m not from USA

[@dequariusforester8081]

ZoltroMAX yeah actually, this isn’t that far off. If you can combine the forced tension of your muscles and your bodies adrenaline using controlled anger, you can (unlike the kaioken) unlock more of your muscles power. Therefore this would be like a combo of kaioken and unlocked potential. You aren’t amplifying your power, just unlocking more of your power. If you can control this you can use it to fight. Be careful though, you can go through muscular convulsions and muscular tear. Use in moderation. The more control you have over it the less the damage.

[@wokeupthismornin1056]

[@speedyboi2007]

I wish you were my science teacher

[@shadowfox87]

The Daizenshuu 4 just states that the Kaioken amplifies power, strength, and speed, not focus or concentration. Of course, in real life, the flight or fight (sympathetic) response is a surge of adrenaline which does amplify focus and concentration just like coffee. Kaioken is more like overclocking a computer. Ki is energy that's in all living things. Kaioken multiplies the "amplitude" of that energy, not the "amount" of energy. Amplitude and amount are two different things. Androids for example, have an unlimited amount of ki because it comes form a battery but they have to train in order to increase the amplitude of their ki just like anyone else. There are stimulant drugs in real life, bath salts like Flakka which transiently cause someone to have a lot of energy, so much as they can fight 4 cops and lift cars. Flakka raises the core body temperature up to 104 degrees F and cause their muscles to hypertrophy due to the surge of norepinephrine. Afterwards, their muscles experience rhabdomyolysis which simulates muscle cramps. This is also what happens in Kaioken afterwards - muscle cramps. www.forbes.com/sites/robertglatter/2015/04/04/flakka-the-new-drug-you-need-to-know-about/#541bcdae7764

[@SuperSaiyanScience]

Wouldn't the muscle cramping also be caused by a lack of blood supply? and then in turn causing an inadequate amount of aerobic respiration so the cramps could also be a result of lactic acid build up in the muscles? I know we're talking more about athletes and master martial artists but they would also experience some degree of exercise-related lactic acidosis

[@shadowfox87]

@@SuperSaiyanScience Yes, but then that can be said for any situation even without Kaioken. Since we're talking specifically about Kaioken and relating it to sympathetic drive, then we need another explanation for muscle cramps.

[@dennisdegroot8003]

I liked kaioken and I was pissed of that I lasted very short in Z. They gave a bullshit reason on why but the REAL reason it would make goku to OP so they just nerfed him by removing kaioken. What’s even more funny, when he finds cell he never used super kaioken en the only time we see it is for 5sec against pikon shortly after cell. All in all shame it never became part of super sayjin in Z

[@SuperSaiyanScience]

“Super Kaioken” wasn’t canon. In other words, it only happened in anime filler and not in the manga

[@dennisdegroot8003]

Super Saiyan Science and the reason why it wasn’t cannon because they were to lazy to balance it. They though kaioken is to op. Just remove it.

[@SuperSaiyanScience]

Dennis Groot no keeping it or rather sticking kaioken and SSJ together would have been bad for a few reason both from an in-universe and out of universe standpoint. Adding kaioken to SSJ is SSJ2 rendering that entire from useless. This combo would have also pushed the power scaling of the show even further just because that technique can go up to x20. So long after introducing KK + SSJ, they’d do x3, x4, x10 (making SSJ 3 now useless) and eventually x20. Now those reasons are the in-universe ones. Out of universe, the power tap of KK and SSJ is veryyy different. KK is easily understood as our own real would fight or flight response but with the added anime exaggeration. So KK ends up pushing normal/regular cells above and beyond, but in short bursts. SSJs power comes from S-cells and likewise which each form (SSJ 1, 2, 3) those cells are pushed harder and harder, especially with the likes of SSJ3. BUT THEY ARE NOT RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER. Combining the two would be such a massive physical strain on the body that Goku seriously shouldn’t be able to handle it no matter how they animate it. I’m probably one of the few who still don’t like the concept of SSBxKK form and its bc of a similar reason I’m trying to explain to you now.

[@dennisdegroot8003]

Super Saiyan Science I know what you are trying to say and I really wanted to see more kaioken or super kaioken in Z but I believe the real reason was: goku would be to OP, just say to the public: it’s too much for goku. I would have to see super kaioken vs cell, kid buu and maybe 50x vs frieza

100th comment

[@Jeremyhughes86]

he didn't "surge forward with Nappa" he struck, then surged forward ahead of Nappa, where he then caught the toppled Saiyan elite. the point of this particular moment being to showcase the speed as well as the power he gains from Kaio-Ken. had he simply moved forward with him, it would essentially just be carrying Nappa, which wouldn't have properly showcased his speed. not just that, the fight itself, including the clips you used in your video as well as the manga shows he moved ahead of Nappa once he struck not "with him". it's a crippling move similar to the move he used on Burter, another case where he struck, then moved to the ground to catch his defeated opponent before they hit the ground, on a single arm, then he tossed both aside. humiliation, demoralization, and the crippling of his opponents all fall into Goku's bag of tricks.
