Akira Toriyama Might Have Hid A Super Saiyan Secret From Fans

Akira Toriyama’sDragon Ballhas captivated its fans for several decades, as it taps into its core theme of the human necessity to transform into a stronger and improved version of yourself. Throughout the series, the mangaka has showcased this theme by featuring different storylines and the SSJ transformations embody the age-old theme into the plot.

The ardent fans of the series often get excited as they see their favorite Saiyan Warriors, transcending past their limits and unlocking a greater strength. However, as Toriyama-Sensei continued with his story inDBS,introducing new SSJ transformations like the SSJ God, a new and prominent fan theory started lurking around the internet.

One Super Saiyan Form is So Rare Goku and Vegeta Can’t Unlock it Even if They Spend a Million Years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

The subreddit of Dragon Ball Z (r/dbz) featured one such theory that looks quite convincing, a fan presents a theory that is related to the “new God forms,” which looks very interesting. The fan stated that this theory first came into existence when the SSJ God form was featured and it takes the“Super Saiyan and SSJG legends into account.”

They mentioned how the SSJ God transformation takes place when a group of“pure hearted Saiyans all working together to create the first SSJ God,”this form brings back the Saiyans back to their untainted origins. However, once the power ran out, the user of the God transformation would die, and so would his friends, who shared their powers with that one Saiyan.

They added, that the pain of losing members would be so intense, that one of the“remaining members of the original God team didn’t just go Super Saiyan but rather Golden Oozaru.”This became the non-canon transformation that we know as SSJ4, which might soon becomecanon as it can be featured inDBSwith the help of one Saiyan.

The fan continued with the prominent theory, that the current generation of Saiyans, who have taken the SSJ forms“prerequisite and applied it to their base forms and not their Oozaru forms.”More importantly, this leads to three different Super Saiyan paths. They mentioned it as:

The Z Fighters performing the ritual to transform Goku in SSJ God

“The Golden Super Saiyan line, vanilla super saiyan. The one we have in “cannon” DBZ, SSJ 1, 2, and 3.”

“The “original” Super Saiyan line, SSJ4.”

Goku in SSJ God form

“And the new God forms.”

The fan prominently believes that this idea can widen the storyline, as there is a whole different generation of Saiyans, which can make the series more thrilling, leading to more exciting transformations, that could potentially break the internet.

Fans React To The Prominent Saiyan Theory Shared by The Reddit User

No doubt, the theory shared by the Reddit user was something else, as they have come up with quite a convincing theory that canpossiblytake place in the series. As a result, fans of the series have come forward to share how they are largely convinced that the three different paths are a possible thing that can be potentially featured in the series.

The fan theory prominently gathered positive responses from the fans of the show as they commented on the post.

Nevertheless, it is not confirmed by the executives of the series, and fans can not ask Toriyama-Sensei as his demise has closed the doors to confirm this thrilling theory.
