Through his training, Son-Goku achieves several forms in Dragon Ball. However, a form appears in Dragon Ball Z that proves to be a bad investment.
Which form is that? The triple Super Saiyan follows after the double Super Saiyan and greatly increases the power of the Saiyans. They lose their eyebrows, and their golden hair grows down their backs. Additionally, the eyebrow area lifts slightly.
The final design is somewhat different from what Akira Toriyama originally intended for the transformation. Either way, this transformation appears only three times in Dragon Ball Z, twice with Son-Goku, once with Gotenks. There are several reasons for this.
The triple Super Saiyan does not lead to victory
Why does it appear so rarely? The SSJ3 proved to be a failure for Son-Goku. It is the first form into which the Saiyan transforms without achieving a victory.
- With the very first Super Saiyan, Son-Goku defeated Freezer. During the final blow, the protagonist of Dragon Ball had transformed back, but the SSJ1 was crucial in weakening Freezer.
- A similar situation occurred with the SSJ2. Son-Gohan transformed for the first time into the double Super Saiyan and defeated Cell.
- With the SSJ3, however, Son-Goku could not achieve victory against Majin Boo. The SSJ3 merely served to buy some time for Son-Goten and Trunks to learn the fusion.
Even the fusion of the two Saiyans initiated the SSJ3, but could not defeat Boo. In the end, Son-Goku had to unleash a Genkidama to defeat Boo. For Goku, the SSJ3 has turned out to be a flop.
This form also consumes an immense amount of Ki, which is why Son-Goku and his friends use it only rarely. The creator of the manga, Akira Toriyama, also revealed that it would take a lot of time to draw the blonde hair of the Saiyans. Therefore, there are three reasons why the SSJ3 is probably the worst form of Son-Goku.
This only applies to Dragon Ball Z. In Dragon Ball Super, Son-Goku learns new forms that also do not lead immediately to victory. The Super Saiyan God cannot defeat Beerus, and even Freezer survives the first confrontation with the Super Saiyan Blue.
Although the SSJ3 is a flop for Son-Goku, it still appears in Dragon Ball Daima. Vegeta has never experienced this form before, which is why fans have been wondering if he even masters this form: Dragon Ball: Vegeta surprises fans with a new form, which has actually existed for 10 years
