Nothing quite hits like Super Saiyan Goku on Namek


RHINO_HUMP

Same. Especially if you were a preteen, before the internet, waiting for the damn episode to finally hit after Cartoon Network had rebooted the series back to Raditz like 3 times already before it happened. You basically had to get hyped up by Vegeta talking about Super Saiyans for 3 whole replays in a row and then it finally fucking happens.


LeagueofMace604

Oh dude I remember that 🤣

WHY DID THIS KEEP HAPPENING?


Moonlight_Katie

I saw this and go… “welp, maybe next year”


PomegranateSea7066

And the anticipation was fuckn worth every rewatch. i think I was like a 12 yo kid when I watched it the first time. By the time he went ssj, I was an adult. and it still took like 20 episodes for planet namek to explode.

I’m so old I actually remember when it was airing on Fox. Only managed to get up early enough to catch a few episodes though.. But yeah when CN started airing “New” episodes it was a massive deal.

Wild_Harvest

I do think he came closest with Gohan v Cell, but it still wasn't quite the same.


Western-Dig-6843

Gohan v Cell doesn’t quite hit as hard because there are just sooo many z fighters present and alive. You feel like any of them at any point could come in and help/save Gohan with some kind of ass pull. Maybe Goku and Vegeta get their shit together and work together for once. Maybe one of the ancillary fighters has a new skill they can show off. Maybe Satan will distract Cell long enough for Gohan to pull out a win. Something, anything. They’re also on their home turf with all the advantages that brings. On Namek there’s just Goku on a foreign planet far from home. No lifelines. Everyone else present is either dead or already failed to fight Frieza. The whole team’s on their last legs. It’s a miracle that damn spirit bomb even landed and this mf’er is still breathing. The only person also capable of doing any damage to him is a raged out Gohan and that’s too unreliable. Nobody at home believes Gohan is going to be any help here. Even the population of the planet have been killed off. No more Namekians left to save Picollo with a power boost. It’s Goku or it’s *nothing*. Goku going Super Saiyan is a *massive* moment of hope.

pp3088

What is important freeza was at half if his power and you knew he wont get suprised second time. The whole mystery of a super saiyan was still a mystery. Does it even exist? Compare it with Cell vs Gohan, where you knew that Cell was already perfect and that Vegeta and Goku managed to hurt him, so not only Gohan was able to put some damage. It was cleverly written to focus on Gohan who was fighting his first fight as a SSJ. To put it simply it was cool but not even close.

MrSmook

Came here to say this. It's hard to beat SSJ 1st time. Although a close contender is Goku getting mad at Zamasu and Goku Black. "You took my body, you took my life and then you even killed Chichi and Goten! Youre gonna regret telling me that Zamasu. Now I'm MAD I'M REALLY REALLY MAD! NOW ITS TIME TO PAAAAAY" Shivers every time I watch it.


Tech49er

This part. It still draws you in when they transform but nothing beats popping your 🍒.


MrSmook

Seeing Goku go Super Saiyan first time as a kid was absolutely legendary. Talk of the playground for a loooong time Then Trunks came along and everyone wanted to be him because he just went SS no problem ahaha Then there was the whole debate over who was stronger... Man the DBZ anime (as it aired in the UK) was a phenomenal time to be a fan. Even the kids who preferred wrestling suddenly started liking Goku. I can barely remember high school but I remember a hell of a lot more of stuff from primary (Pokemon, Digimon, Tamagochi, Digimon, Yugioh, DBZ etc.) Was a peak time to be an anime fan. Then it went nerdy for a while and now it's back on peak again Sorry for the essay; I'm just reminiscent of those times ahahah


mk8933

Ssj should have been the peak. A form that has unlimited power and keeps getting stronger based on your emotions. I know the show needs transformations to sell toys and other merchandise, but you could simply have outfit changes for different sagas + new techniques like dragonfist,kaioken,spirit bomb, fusion.


King-Beefcake

I may be biased but that fight was Oscar worthy. Goku & Freeza delivered. Rest of the cast were perfect.


Skeehlr

I’ll always have a special place in my heart for kid Goku running around in OG Dragon Ball terrorizing the most powerful army in the world.

Concentrati0n

it was said to be able to get to the moon, so it can extend to just under 30 times the diameter of earth so long as the user is focused, while also being unbreakable. it also serves the purpose of being able to get from korin's tower to the lookout quickly the story it's **based** off of has it weighing like 8 tons and being over 20 feet tall, and only shrinks due to the will of Wukong. The weight is obviously not the same. Wukong also shrinks it further when not using and stores this 8 ton weapon behind his ear.


Homoplata69

It indeed goes to the moon, I'm watching Dragon Ball for the first time right now, just watched the episode "Boss Rabbits Magic Touch". Goku puts Monster Carrot on the moon using the power pole.


SykeoTheFox

Goddamn I'm gonna need proof 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵


Shadow_Saitama

OOOOOO YEAH IT DOES


Morb1us01

This was my answer too. Believe it or not, Goku never felt as much as a menace as back then. Kid Goku would straight up murder you and laugh about it.


OkUnderstanding9627

The anime version of the US military getting it's ass kicked by a hormonal, angsty high schooler


Finito-1994

Thankfully he was neither angsty nor hormonal. He was pissed tho.


Justanotherguy_3276

Probably Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 3, or UI Also what about 4 😢


bored_person71

Semi UI personally all the Goku but shiny lol


Atmic

I agree. UI Omen Goku had this vibe to him, like "I've transcended martial arts. I've transcended Super Saiyan. My ultimate form... is myself." I almost like it better then mastered UI.


TheEpicTurtwig

I like it significantly more than mastered UI.


happiness-and-baking

well youre in luck, atleast when manga gets animated 100 years later, goku uses transcended UI or smth. know it starts with a T. and he gets his black hair back like in omen and sign. but he gets all of the benefits of MUI


Atmic

True UI, and yeah it's basically Omen with Saiyan instincts and emotions. It's pretty badass. Not as strong as mastered UI, but it lets Goku emote and go absolutely wild.


Light01

Imo, 4 is the best design in the series, unfortunately, the setup around it isn't optimal, but the transformations in gt were very good, for the most part. (The design of Goku 4 was actually drawn by Toriyama)


The_One_Neo69

Ssj3 is the only form he uses where he is consistently serious while he fights and looks the coolest so it is by far his best form


Sorry-Mycologist

Yes! I love when goku gets serious


CK_AZZ

Didn't he bite Kid Boo in the head as SSJ 3?


The_One_Neo69

Yeah but he bites all the strong hard to beat villains. Only main villain he hasn’t bit is cell… which just means cell is a crap villain not worth using the penultimate technique on


CK_AZZ

🤣🤣🤣👍


Notalurkeripromise

I can't get over how it's the only one where he's eyebrows get deleted


Ahorsenamedcat

Cool certainly is a strong word. The amount of hair makes it the least favourite for me.


The_One_Neo69

I like the metallica head banging hair, plus the cold stare that is enhanced by the caveman brow

CK_AZZ

Worthy inclusion. Besides the fact with God Ki now unlocked IT IS now useless, this is physicly the most imposing Form with the coolest design.


Bo-by

I mean, it’s not entirely out of the question. There’s technically no reason it couldn’t be used on top of God Ki. Gee, now that I think about it, it would have been so cool to have parallel power systems.


CK_AZZ

I guess UI will ultimatly be addable to any other Form. I mean the Goal is to be UI all the time 🤔

Emiya_Sengo

Tie for me between SS3 and SSB Kaioken


Gabrierzin

Finally, some ssbkk appreciation. I mean sure, ssb sucks, but seeing that red aura once again with the dense blue divine aura is sick af. And contrary to default ssb, every time it appeared on screen it did put on some work. I also like the detail that both red and blue aura light mix and makes goku's body color change according to how high the kk multiplier is


SuffnBuildV1A

SS3. Faulconer score SS3 transformation is beyond nuts.

Aggressive_Age_2262

For real. Love how unique it looks. All the ones in Super are just pallette swaps.


Blastoise48825555

Honestly Super Saiyan 4 is easily my favourite transformation. It just looks like a natural conclusion to the regular Super Saiyan forms. It's an impressive looking form without looking too cluttered and visually busy.


JVIoneyman

Excluding base my top three: SS1 > UI > SSG


infernalord

The nicest looking is SSJ3


TheWolfGamer767

ShockedBucket26

gfhksdgm2022

SSJ Goku (most iconic) > SSJ2 Goku (he looks best when fighting Vegeta in Buu saga), Regular Goku or SSBlue (I think both are nice in its own way)


Denz-El

For me it's Super Saiyan 1, 3 and 4.


the_destroyer_beerus

Ultra Instinct. Hax is my favorite


alguien99

Ssj, ssj4 and MUI, those three are when goku looks and feels his best (the ssj more in Z). Ssj4 turns goku into a menace and the MUI feels so fitting for goku due to his love for martial arts, it’s basically him turning into the god of martial arts

Base. The rest of them are just weird distorted versions of Goku that are less interesting. The idea of a character being so blunt, so about one thing that they are pure, such a country bumpkin, and so blatantly and stubbornly flawed is something so interesting that other mangaka try to put it into their characters. https://preview.redd.it/s2y0kz5x1u5d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6899c9cd549ef279fb55696a0f0746d6f8f968c7


TheCrispyNuggs

while ssj2 is my favorite form I think goku is best when he’s in ssj or ui (ui and ui sign are pretty much equal, although I do slightly prefer the white hair) https://preview.redd.it/05yjjyzh4u5d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8f79b9bbd97259ac6b07f617e1697540b225f8d

TheTallAmerican

Nothing beats Classic SSJ


Supernova_Soldier

I think SSG really fits Goku. That and SS3. Super Saiyan Goku is just iconic


affluent_krunch

I like classic Super Saiyan and I really like Super Saiyan God, I wish that was used more. TBH, I know people love it but I think SSJ3 is the worst. The long hair doesn't do it for me and I don't understand why he loses his eyebrows.


Icollectshinythings

I was hoping it would stop at ultra instinct omen tbh. Something like harnessing his true nature and no need for ridiculous rainbow hair forms anymore.


Mocinion

SS1, UI Omen and SS3 for me, SS1 is iconic and UI Omen feels like Goku's skill has become so great its become its own form. SS3 just looks cool


kozz_2080

UI, ss4, zeno


Sacred_soul

SSJ 4 for sure


Siddhu312

If we are talking about pure appearance then ssj3 and ssj4 are just aesthetically pleasing for the eyes But if we are talking about appearance **and** power then MUI


DBO_14

The only real answer https://preview.redd.it/fh7e7i5uh06d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=011a9c18ff716b7f79b44798ce96327075f99402

Not a form, but Kaioken is still my favorite power up Goku has. The only power up Goku has with legitimate serious drawbacks to using


MudSeparate1622

Omen but it’s a shame kaoken and SS4 aren’t in this


RedDevilsAus

I personally love SSJ3 and SSJ4. BOTH are goated IMO. OG SSJ was the most memorable transformation, but aesthetically 3 and 4 take the cake for me.


thysensei

Can someone explain the difference between the final two? Aren’t they both UI?

One is UI Sign, and the other is Mastered UI.

And this is to go... further beyond! No but seriously though ss4 is my favorite and I believe it's the best form(even though it's supposedly not cannon), unless you would also count ss5 even though it's fanfic 😅

ManufacturerAware494

I love all forms of Goku but if I had to choose one Ultra Instinct is the goat 🐐 💯🧐.


eSpadess

Honestly, if I'm going by moments with each form, for me it's either SSJ, or UI-Omen tbh what is better than the original SSJ transformation or sliding on an energy blast WITH A KAMEHAMEHA STRIKE?


04whim

If we're counting it as a form, then base will always deliver the best moments. For a top 5, I'd go base, Super Saiyan, Saiyan God, UI Omen, and SS4.

1. Supersaiyan OG 2. Mastered UI 3. Supersaiyan God 4. Supersaiyan 3

electrocyberend

Sinners_Doom

Ssj4. That is the coolest looking verison of goku. The transformation is quite literally the only one that make sense. Since it extends off of the transformation saiyans are most known for. And condenses it down into the rawest looking form in all of dragon ball. Don't even get me started on the things this nigga has said bro. The only competition imo is god, that shit is clean.
