Despite this possible decrease in power augmentation brought on by this form, it is still shown to make the user several times stronger (and much more so in sub-forms such as Ascended Super Saiyan and Ultra Super Saiyan). While physical change is not too drastic apart from a slight increase in muscle mass, the power output increase is colossal the form is said to originally multiply the Saiyan's power by 50x times its normal amount, though it can be inferred that the power increase lessened somewhat, and the standard form became stronger, as new Super Saiyan levels were introduced. However, the transformation must be triggered in response to a great need, an example being in Goku's case to defeat Frieza. The first Super Saiyan transformation occurs when a Saiyan who has reached a very high level of power loses himself in a fit of rage. " The power comes in response to a need, not a desire" Female Super Saiyans have since appeared in video games, including Dragon Ball Online and Dragon Ball Heroes. However, the Dragon Ball GT Perfect Files implies that Pan has the potential to transform and might have become a type of Super Saiyan never seen before. No female Super Saiyans are ever seen in the Dragon Ball manga or animes. In the main series, all living Saiyan-blooded males after the Frieza Saga manage to reach at least the first level of Super Saiyan. Super Saiyan Goku unleashes an intense rage as he prepares to assault Frieza The power increases of subsequent Super Saiyan forms are so high that by the Buu Saga, the original transformation has been literally reduced to that of a "child's play thing" (as stated by Vegeta as both Goten and Trunks can transform and harness the power adeptly at such a young age). As the Saiyans train during Dragon Ball Z, they discover uncharted levels beyond the first Super Saiyan level. While training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku informs Gohan that becoming a Super Saiyan is powered by rage and told him to imagine Cell and then Frieza (after Gohan stated he had never seen Cell) killing all his friends in order for him to transform into a Super Saiyan. Any other conditions are unknown, and motivation tends to differ for example, Goku achieves the form out of anger over the murder of his best-friend Krillin and Bardock achieves the form out of anger after Chilled attacked a Plant child called Berry, while Vegeta achieves the form through sheer frustration at his original inability to achieve it, especially when Goku already had. In all known cases, the form has been initially triggered by either desperation or indignation. The Super Saiyan transformation comes in response to a need, not a desire. However, twenty-five years later, the Super Saiyan legend was proven to be true when Goku accomplished the feat during his titanic battle against the evil tyrant, Frieza. Because of this fear, Frieza drew the conclusion to annihilate the Saiyan race by destroying Planet Vegeta, thus apparently sparking the end of the Super Saiyan legend.
Despite only being told through legend, Frieza, who was considered to be the strongest being of his time, became paranoid over the possibility of truth behind the legend due to the constantly growing power of the Saiyan race. Vegeta stated that a Super Saiyan has achieved a level of power so overwhelming that it could only be maintained in a transformed state. The ability to become a Super Saiyan was once considered to be nothing but a legend, as it had not been performed for over one-thousand years. The depiction of the original Super Saiyan on the Saiyans' original homeworld Dragon Ball GT introduced a fourth form, and there are three additional forms related to the Super Saiyan state that appear exclusively in the films: False Super Saiyan, Legendary Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan God. Within Dragon Ball Z two further transformations, the second and third levels, succeed Super Saiyan, while the premier form also has three additional branch states, two that are ascensions and one that is a mastering of the basic Super Saiyan form. It also made its anime debut in 1991, first appearing in Dragon Ball Z episode 95, " Transformed at Last". The Super Saiyan form first premiered in August of 1991 within chapter 317 of the Dragon Ball manga entitled " Life or Death". Slump film Hoyoyo!! Follow the Rescued Shark. Super Saiyan (超サイヤ人) is an advanced transformation assumed by extraordinarily powerful members of the Saiyan race in the Dragon Ball franchise, as well as Akira Toriyama's later manga Nekomajin and within the Dr. This is completely different from anything that I've ever seen before.
