Seriously is there super saiyan 6? I know my ex's little brother thought that goku made it to super saiyan 5 where he has like grey hair and red eyes? Or something I thing I saw a picture once. I remember when I first heard Goku made it to super saiyan 3. I was asleep in bed with my girlfriend and her little brother yelled through the door "Funky Goku just did super saiyan 3! WAKE UP!" and I said "Huh? What?" "WHAT?!"

Oh that was GT? I remember the other thing he really loved was this mp3 of a rob zombie song with this red haired goku and what I think was a fat version of goku and vegeta mixed together. Oh and goku kicked the poo poo out of Buu in it. He stabbed him with a laser sword.

I think the running theme of Dragon Ball was that Goku was strong as hell but also as dumb as a person can be before they need to be supervised in public. Which Goku sometimes did.

It could have mattered. I just googled to find out for real about Super Saiyan 6 and well it's not real. It's all fan stuff. So Goku and Vegeta both go Super Saiyan 4 in GT. Then they fuse briefly and become super Saiyan 4 Gojita. Which they use to beat up Super Shenron but ultimately fail to defeat him because the fusion uses up too much power and shortens the usual duration. They are unable to refuse in time to defeat Super Shenron. I think it was Shenron. I may not have read the Wikipedia page as in depth as I should have. So that's the limit in GT. BUT! They just made two movies in the past few years where Goku goes to Super Saiyan God and then Super Saiyan Super Saiyan God level. Which I think it's reasonable to call both Super Saiyan 5 and 6 unless the events of GT are to be considered as a fan-fiction and not canonical in which case it represents both Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan 5 respectively.


This is what I think that SS5 or 6 should look like.

He and Kami are the only Namekians to have penises, and they grow back only if Toriyama/the writing staff remember that Namekians have regenerative capabilities.

Part 2: Analysis

Perhaps the simplest reason for living through the constructed identity would simply be that other people tell us to do so-and this is the first reason that Anno presents in both series. Such a theme is easily identified in Kare Kano simply by considering the family of the main character, Arima Soichiro, a character whom Anno emphasizes significantly more than the original manga artist. Arima's parents had stolen from the family fortune and ran away during Arima's childhood; because of that most of Arima's extended family is unwilling to accept him as anything more than "a guest in the Arima family."[2] In order to repay the one uncle and aunt who remained to raise him, Arima feels obligated to be the perfect student, so that he may maintain the honor of his new parents.[3] In this way Arima is living not his own life, but a life constructed-constructed by the extended family which cannot accept his potential true nature, constructed implicitly by his foster parents who want to see their risky investment become worthwhile. It is possible to argue that Arima is constructing this perfect student identity himself, that is, he chose himself to take on such a persona. But even if this were true, the fact of the matter is that such a persona is constructed rather than inherently real. Even though Arima may have created such an identity on his own, such an identity is not his real one but rather one made up from human observations and interpretations.

More complex psychological theory will become necessary in analyzing our other series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and in particular its focal character, Ikari Shinji. Right from the start of the series it is evident as to who is the oppressive master, as to who is controlling-creating-Shinji's identity: it is his father, Ikari Gendo, who forces his son to take on the identity of the Eva pilot.[4] Shinji's reaction to his father, though, is quite paradoxical: although it is evident from just the first episode that Shinji abhors and does not respect his father,[5] one wonders why, in the twelfth episode, Shinji actually says that he "pilot[s] Eva just to hear my father say those words [of praise]"-he apparently wants his father's approval.[6] How can we explain Shinji's desire for praise from a man he so clearly hates?

A Freudian analysis of Shinji, especially in the context of the Oedipal complex, provides a partial answer, both to this paradoxical relationship with father and to the overriding question of why he chooses the constructed image of self. It is not an unreasonable analysis to make, since there is clear evidence that Anno was heavily influenced by Freud-one episode of Evangelion is entitled "The Oral Stage,"[7] making a clear reference to the earliest stage of child development in Freudian theory. The area on which Evangelion focuses, however, is not the first but rather the third stage, in which all three of the Eva pilots find themselves, and the problems that come with it, particularly the Oedipal complex. In the Oedipal complex the son fears the father, since the father holds the power of castration, preventing the son of fulfilling his mother's desire.[8] This power held by the father could provide an explanation as to why Shinji hates his father. However, as A.Y.L. points out, because of the castration fear the son wants to please his father in some way, even regardless of this hatred. This not only provides an explanation as to why Shinji desires approval from his father, but more importantly links back to the original message of constructed identity: because the son wants the father's approval, the father has the power to decide what he wants the son to be like-the father has power to create the son's identity. In Shinji's case, this power is manifested in his becoming an Eva pilot at his father's request-Shinji's father has become the creator of Shinji's purpose in life, and thus he has become the creator of Shinji's identity.

A cartoon about people beating the poo poo out of eachother and powering up until theyre like gods who then proceed to beat the poo poo out of each other. Punching mountains apart and blowing up planets? No other cartoon that I saw was as cool as that when I was a kid

Super Saiyan 9 (Supa Saiyajin Nin) is the ninth Super Saiyan form after Super Saiyan 8. It is succeeded by the rare Super Saiyan 10.

As a Super Saiyan 9, your fur from Super Saiyan 8 turns completely black, with your tail. The front-most bangs of your hair turn black, the rest turns blood red, with your eyes. You are death, you are a Super Saiyan.

"Yes... yes, this power will do just nicely."
Goku, Goku Jr, Vegeta, Vegeta Jr upon transforming.

Obtaining Super Saiyan 100 or Uber Saiyan is extremely difficult because the only known ways to obtain it are to train for one's absolute peak for 5 full years in the Super Saiyan 10 form, or to absorb an amount of energy equivalent to that of 5 Super Saiyan 10s. Once one of these is accomplished, the Saiyan immediately transforms. Goku was first to achieve this form, by traveling into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, intending to train in preparation for the arrival of the Galaxy Destroyers on Earth, and then ended up escaping with Instant Transmission after transforming (since the exit had long since vanished), as he felt the power of the form was more than enough to achieve victory. During the battle with Galaxy Destroyers Vegeta, Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr had decide to train in their Super Saiyan 5 forms in order to help goku who was fighting a really hard battle with them.

Super Saiyan Infinity multiplies the base form by 1,024,000,000x it's normal amount. In this form, The very power that the Super Saiyan Infinity form possesses can easily destroy omniverses if not properly controlled. The tremendous power that the Super Saiyan Infinity possess can easily shake omniverses, and just turning into the form can easily destroy omniverses.

Trivia
  • While this form would technically be called Super Saiyan 11, Kibito Kai states that the form is "far too powerful to merit just a one number increase", and begins referring to it as Super Saiyan Infinity instead.

  • The Super Saiyan Infinity form gives users a new attack called Infinity x Spirit Bomb which allows them to gather energy from every dimension and multiply its power by Infinity . And users also gains the Ten-Trillion Kamehameha.

  • A Saiyan in this form is completely calm (Which is the reason why Goku and Goku Jr are able to form the Spirit Bomb in this form).

  • While this form is reached following Super Saiyan 10, it does not resemble that form at all, and instead resembles previous forms much more closely. The reason for this is that it is actually Ape-lineage Super Saiyan form (Not a True Super Saiyan form), but much more powerful than the others.

  • Interestingly Super Saiyan Infinity multiplies the power of the Super Saiyan 10 by 100. This is one reason why Kibito Kai refers to it as Super Saiyan Infinity.

  • The only transformations more powerful than the Super Saiyan 100 is Super Saiyan Infinity and Super Saiyan God forms. [1]
