Chapter 75: The Positioning of Super Saiyan 3

Super Saiyan 3, this is a sign in the Dragon Ball Z comics series that Goku has completely surpassed Vegito and Gohan to become the strongest warrior in the universe.

This sentence is easy to understand. After Akira Toriyama finished drawing Dragon Ball Z: Cell Games, he had already planned to finish the Dragon Ball comics series. Unable to bear the pleas of editors and countless fans, he had to bite the bullet and continue the Majin Buu arc.

There is no doubt that Akira Toriyama actually wanted to make Gohan the male protagonist, so Gohan, who inherited Goku's will, became a Super Saiyan 2 and defeated Cell, the ultimate android formed by all Z warrior genes. This itself also means that Gohan surpassed his father and became the strongest warrior, opening a new era. So far, the Dragon Ball comics have ended.

But after the Majin Buu arc started, Goku's popularity was too high. In the plot, after the defeat of the new generation represented by Gohan or Gotenks, Akira Toriyama had to invite Goku back to save the situation. Since Goku got the role of the male protagonist back, there must be a new positioning of Goku's strength. Super Saiyans naturally appeared, which naturally became the symbol of Goku becoming the first in the universe.

The symbol of Super Saiyan 3: After the transformation, the appearance will also change. The blonde hair will grow to the waist, the eyebrows will disappear, and the pupils will be green. According to Gotenks: the appearance will become very fierce.

In the comics, only Goku and Gotenks can transform into Super Saiyan 3. Other Saiyans cannot transform. It can be seen that to transform into Super Saiyan 3, you must have enough power to practice.

Super Saiyan 3 is a node where the Super Saiyan's "mortal state" is about to undergo a qualitative change, an absolute peak. I remember that in the plot of Dragon Ball Super, Caulifla asked Goku to teach him how to become Super Saiyan 3. Goku said that if he wanted to become Super Saiyan 3, he had to practice Super Saiyan 2 well. It can be seen that if he has not broken through the limit of Super Saiyan 2, he cannot become Super Saiyan 3.

Therefore, in theory, only Goku, Vegeta and Gohan can become Super Saiyan 3 by their own strength, but Gohan is not mentioned because he neglects training.

The advantages of Super Saiyan 3 are obvious. After transforming into this form, both the strength and speed are much stronger than Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2, and the combat power has a leap-forward improvement. Super Saiyan 2 is basically beaten by Majin Buu, but after Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 3, he can force a 50-50 tie with the most evil Majin Buu, which is the best proof.

But why didn't Vegeta become Super Saiyan 3? In fact, there is a reason why we must talk about the fatal flaw of Super Saiyan 3. Although Super Saiyan 3 has strong combat power, its energy consumption is abnormally large, which often becomes a fatal weakness in battle.

Once you cannot defeat the enemy quickly after becoming Super Saiyan 3, you will be in trouble later. In the comics, Goku was resurrected by the life of the old Kai, and fought with Kid Buu in the Kaishin Realm. At the beginning, they were evenly matched, but the longer the time, the weakness of Super Saiyan 3's physical strength and energy consumption was clearly reflected, and gradually fell behind.

In order to completely defeat Kid Buu, Sun Wukong wanted to gather his energy in one minute and become Super Saiyan 3 to fight with all his strength. As a result, he was exhausted and not only lost his energy, but also lost the physical strength to maintain the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, thus exposing the fatal flaw of Super Saiyan 3.

Sun Wukong succeeded in his transformation after years of practice in Huangquan (he said it himself in the comics). Because the dead have no physical limit, they just overcome the weakness of Super Saiyan 3's physical loss too quickly, but they can comprehend and break through without limit, so Huangquan's environment has the effect of special environment practice.

I remember that in the Dragon Ball Super Power Conference, Frieza said disdainfully that it was a waste of physical strength to fight such a rubbish opponent. That's because Frieza was resurrected in the world of the living for one day. Unlike the underworld, as long as he came to the world of the living, there would be physical limits, so it matched the Buu arc. Sun Wukong became Super Saiyan 3 after being resurrected and had the same physical limit.

In order to prevent Majin Buu from destroying the earth's cities and to buy time for Trunks, Sun Wukong showed Majin Buu his transformation to Super Saiyan 3, which shocked everyone. This time, the "Transformation to Super Saiyan 3" comic plot also caused a sensation worldwide.

The dead Sun Wukong was actually pulled to the human world by the fortune-telling woman, but because of his transformation into Super Saiyan 3, his stay in the human world was greatly shortened, and he also showed obvious fatigue when guiding Goten and Trunks, which was captured by Piccolo.

Then it is understandable that Gotenks can transform. These two guys are hybrids of Saiyans and earthlings, and they have amazing potential. After the fusion, they can be called "a combination of terrifying geniuses". In addition, Gotenks transformed by training in the Spirit Time Chamber. The training effect of the Time Chamber is much stronger than that of the human world. In addition to Gotenks' own talents, this also plays the role of training in a special environment. Therefore, it is not surprising that Gotenks became Super Saiyan 3.

Regarding the issue of strength positioning, in theory, Super Saiyan 3 has at least four times the combat power of Super Saiyan 2, that is, more than 400 times the normal state.

After the transformation, Sun Wukong's power is so strong that he can suppress the powerful enemy Fat Buu, who even Vegeta in the Super Saiyan 2 state is helpless, and he can even completely destroy the opponent with all his strength (this is also what Sun Wukong said). When he has the physical advantage, he can fight against the original Buu and the result is evenly matched!

As for Gotenks, he is stronger after transformation. Due to the added effect of fusion power, his Super Saiyan 3 power is stronger than Goku's Super Saiyan 3. In serious battle, he can be said to have the upper hand in the battle against Big Buu, who is stronger than Fat Buu, and even almost defeated Big Buu.

In Dragon Ball Super, when Goku transformed into Super Saiyan 3 and fought against the God of Destruction Beerus, his Super Saiyan 3 power was very weak. Beerus easily defeated Super Saiyan 3 Goku with less than 10% of his strength.

In the Dragon Ball Super animation, Goku and Vegeta can maintain their Super Saiyan Blue, which consumes too much power compared to Super Saiyan 3, for a long time. For them, Super Saiyan 3 is no problem.

At this moment, Goku transformed into Super Saiyan 3. Due to his many years of training in Huangquan, and the improvement of his understanding of Ye Xun's "Taixuan Sutra" after Goku's death, the effect is added, so Goku's Super Saiyan 3 state at this time is much stronger than Goku's Super Saiyan 3 state in the comics.

In other words, Sun Wukong now has a vague feeling of stepping into the state of god. If the God of Destruction Binus does not use 10% of his strength, he really cannot defeat this Sun Wukong. (To be continued)
