Here are the "rules" to become a Super Saiyajin (SSJ), Oozaru (see the bottom), and some other information about it. If I forgot anything, email me. For all of these transformations, this rule is needed: Must have Saiyajin blood - full , half, third, quarter, fifth, sixth... whatever!! Don't ask me why Piccolo didn't become a Super Saiyajin. (Piccolo is a Namekseijin, there are no Super Namekseijins!!). The current forms that are listed on this page are: Super Saiyajin One, Ultra Super Saiyajin, Super Saiyajin Two, Super Saiyajin Three, Super Saiyajin Four, Oozaru, and Golden Oozaru.Mystic is NOT a Saiyajin stage, it was a magical ability that Dai Kaio-shin casted on Gohan. So don't try to be cool and say that it is, because it's not.
The Legend of the Super Saiyajin
The legend began a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (the length of time is never told in the series). The Legend says that a Saiyajin who had a pure heart (good or evil, we don't know), something happened which caused him to have an extreme fit of rage. His anger was so intense, that he transformed into a Super Saiyajin (I have also been told that he became a Golden Oozaru, rather than a Super Saiyajin, I'm not sure but I doubt that). The Legend says that another Super Saiyajin would come every one thousand years. The Legend is fulfilled, it may not have been a thousand years, but another Legendary Super Saiyajin did emerge... Broily. See DBZ Movie #8 - Violent Fight! Valiant Fight! Super Exciting Fight!! for more information on Broily.
To become a Super Saiyajin
1. Must have a pure heart - Pure good/evil, as long as you are 100% of it (Vejita's is pure evil)
2. Must get VERY mad
2a. Technically it is done from "a need, not a desire" to become SSJ. As much as I hate the dub's wording, they got that right.
3. You cannot bleach your hair and gel it up. I'm terribly sorry, but it just doesn't work. (If you knew me freshmen year, shut up, I didn't bleach it for that reason (I didn't say anything about me geling my hair, I HATE gel!!))
Super Saiyajin One
All full and partial Saiyajins have achieved this level except Pan and Bra. This form is commonly called Super Saiyajin, because there was no knowledge of the ability to go beyond Super Saiyajin when the first Saiyajin transformed.
1. The most obvious of all, all hair (hair, eyebrows, mustache, etc.) becomes golden and partially stands up
2. Strength, speed, etc. increases drastically
3. Eyes turn green
4. Muscles get slightly larger
5. Energy is needed to sustain this form. However, they later figure out how to do it without expending energy.
To Go Beyond Super Saiyajin
In a nut shell, going beyond Super Saiyajin is just like going Super Saiyajin again while already Super Saiyajin.
1. All you have to do is get angrier
Ultra Super Saiyajin
This form is unlike the others. The drawbacks and extras are different from person to person. Vejita, Trunks, Gokou, and Broily are the only ones to achieve this form (and technically Cell, because he has a lot of Saiyajin cells). Trunks was able to pump more energy into his form, but the stronger he became, the slower. Broily is just special, so let's not get into it.
1. Hair is a tad longer has more spikes in it
2. Strength is increased greatly, depending on how much energy they put into it.
3. Muscles are extremely large. (Remember when Freezer used 100% of his Ki and his muscles were bigger than his head? It's just like that.)
4. Speed decreases depending how much energy they put into their strength determines how slow they are.
5. More energy is required to sustain this form. Depending how much energy they spend, determines how strong they are and how slow they are.
Super Saiyajin Two
Only Gohan, Gokou, and Majin Vejita have achieved this level.
1. Hair is still golden but gets a little longer and goes almost completely up
2. Muscles become larger, but not as large as USSJ
3. Strength (more than USSJ), speed, etc. increase
4. Energy is required to sustain this form, however, by the time they can get this level, they have so much energy, it would take a long time for them to be weakened from it.
5. Face is a little more pronounced
Super Saiyajin Three
Only Gokou and Gotenks have achieved this level.
1. Hair is very long to about ass length (For SSJ3 Gotenks it's as long as his body because he's such a small little guy)
2. Muscles are quite large, almost as large as USSJ
3. Strength, speed, etc. increase greatly
4. Life force is needed to sustain SSJ3 - If you stay as SSJ3 too long you'll suddenly change back for no apparent reason (As seen in the Majin Buu saga). If the person is dead, the can theorectically stay that way.
5. Eyes have blue/green iris with black pupils
6. No eyebrows
Face is even more pronounced
To Transform into Super Saiyajin Four
There are many reasons why this form is not considered a true form of Super Saiyajin, 1) because DBGT is not considered true Dragon Ball, 2) There's no golden hair, 3) You have to transform while as Golden Oozaru
1. Must have a tail
2. Must be in Golden Oozaru form
3. Get angry while in Golden Oozaru form
Super Saiyajin Four
Only Gokou has achieved this state, Vejita cheated using the Brute Ray.
1. No gold, except the aura
2. Muscles grow so large that his shirt cannot hold them and busts off
3. Red fur all over body except on face, chest, and hands (there may be more, but they've always been in clothing, luckily)
4. Hair does not stand up whatsoever, is black, and a tad longer than shoulder length
5. Red lines around eyes
6. Red irises with black pupils
7. Energy is reuiqred to sustain this form, however, by the time they get this level, it uses such a mall amount in comparison to how much energy they have.
Transforming into Oozaru
This originally used to be the most powerful form of a Saiyajin. This ability was recognized by Freezer and he decided to use it to help his empire. He would send usually 3 - 6 Saiyajins, more or less depending on their strength and how powerful the planet's inhabitants were. On the planet, the Saiyajins would wait until there was a full moon. When the Saiyajins looked at the full moon, their bodies would transform into a form that looked like a giant ape (that's why the Saiyajins were called monkeys), called Oozaru. Later, the ability to create a ki ball that radiated moon light was discovered. While in Oozaru form, they wreaked havoc on the planet, eliminating all life, so Freezer could sell the planet to people who would swear allegiance to Lord Freezer.
Oozaru
1. Body becomes bigger, giant-sized
2. Fur grows all over body
3. Body changes into the shape of a giant ape
4. Strength, speed, and the 5 senses are increased tenfold
5. Person cannot control body until proper training, until then, the body goes on a blind rampage
Golden Oozaru
This form is like Super Saiyajin Four, because it is only seen during the DBGT series, therefore, isn't real.
1. Must have a tail
2. Must look at the full Earth from another planet/moon
3. Body Changes into Oozaru form except the fur is golden
4. Strength, speed, and the 5 senses are multiplied by about 50 I think
