Transformations are a big part of anime, especially within Akira Toriyama"s Dragon Ball series. Transformations and power ups are used throughout the three anime series lớn raise the stakes of a fight, và to make things more exciting and insane. Before Goku"s fight with Frieza on Namek, there were a few forms featured, the Great Ape form và The Kaio-Ken just to lớn name a few. But, when Goku first turned into a Super Saiyan, a form thought to be nothing more than a legend, everything changed. Now, all the training the Saiyans did was lớn push the limits of this form and achieve the next levels of it.

Because of this, và because of Akira Toriyama"s eccentric writing style, there have been tons of different forms of Super Saiyans. When you look at the larger picture, the addition of every new Super Saiyan form over the course of the franchise is almost always ridiculous, but it"s also ridiculously awesome. It"s something fans love about the series, with limits constantly being pushed và broken. A few of these Super Saiyan forms come from movies & parts of the franchise that aren"t always considered canon, but they"re still worth taking a look at when ranking every Super Saiyan form from weakest to lớn strongest.
Let"s start with the most basic of them all, the Super Saiyan form. As far as we know, Goku was the first Saiyan lớn achieve this from in the last hundred years of Saiyan history. There"s actually a reason for this as well: Goku"s gentle soul. Because he fights for good and cares for his friends và family, Goku was able khổng lồ produce the necessary S-Cells to trigger the transformation, with Krillin"s death acting as the emotional catalyst.
Though it was a big giảm giá khuyến mãi when it first premiered, and it was strong enough lớn defeat Frieza, the first Super Saiyan khung is still the lowest among them. This isn"t lớn say it"s weak, it"s just at the bottom of the list. When a Saiyan goes Super Saiyan, it multiplies their power by 50. In other words, this form is is more effective the stronger a Saiyans base form is.
Otherwise known as an Ascended Super Saiyan, this size is what happens when a Saiyan pushes the limits of the Super Saiyan transformation. It"s not quite Super Saiyan 2, but it"s definitely an upgrade. This is less of an official form, & more of a forced increase of power nguồn output, utilizing the Saiyan"s ki khổng lồ inflate their muscles, increasing their speed & strength significantly.
The size is somewhat useful in the Cell Saga, but it"s nothing compared lớn an actual ascension to lớn Super Saiyan 2. Not only does it burn through ki reserves quickly, it"s also just a parlor trick at the kết thúc of the day, merely adding khổng lồ the Saiyan"s power rather than multiplying it like other Super Saiyan forms. It helped Vegeta & Trunks hold off Semi-Perfect Cell, but otherwise it"s just a stepping stone lớn the next level.
Moving up a màn chơi we have a Third Grade Super Saiyan, a form that is even more dangerous khổng lồ use than the Second Grade ascension. Lượt thích the previous grade, the Super Saiyan Third Grade khung further inflates the muscles to utilize 100 percent of the Saiyan"s stamina & strength.
There is, however, a huge drawback lớn this form, a lesson that Trunks learned the hard way. Where Super Saiyan Second Grade had a good balance of speed and strength increase, the Third Grade form only increases strength, và the massive increase in muscle mass causes a huge drop in speed. In fact, while the size might technically be the "strongest" of the "in between" forms, it is actually far slower than the regular Super Saiyan form, the huge muscles weighing down the Saiyan và decreasing their maneuverability in a fight.
12 SUPER SAIYAN FULL POWER
Though it might not look much different from the regular Super Saiyan form, the Full power Super Saiyan is actually much, much stronger. The Super Saiyan Full Power size is what occurs when a Saiyan completely masters the Super Saiyan form. Goku & Gohan managed khổng lồ master this form by staying Super Saiyans for an extended period of time.
The advantage of the size is that all the negative effects are bypassed. A Full nguồn Super Saiyan does not feel fatigued while in the form, their uncontrollable emotions are much more in check and ki consumption is much less rapid, allowing them to lớn utilize the strength and power of the khung for longer and save their ki reserves for attacks và stamina. Mastering this khung also helped Gohan khổng lồ reach Super Saiyan 2.
Speaking of Super Saiyan 2, when the size first premiered, when Gohan transformed in his anger towards Cell, it recreated aspects of Goku"s first Super Saiyan transformation. Gohan was the first lớn achieve the form (like his dad was the first to lớn achieve Super Saiyan), fans were blow away & Gohan"s nguồn increase was enough lớn defeat the big bad of the Saga. Like father lượt thích son, eh?
But enough about story, let"s analyze the power nguồn of Super Saiyan 2. Where the first Super Saiyan form acts as a x50 multiplier of a Saiyan"s base power, the Super Saiyan 2 size is a x100 multiplier. This power nguồn increase allowed Gohan lớn obliterate Cell twice and more recently it helped Future Trunks defeat Zamasu in Dragon Ball Super.
10 SUPER SAIYAN 3
Super Saiyan 3 was the trump card that Goku kept secret in the Buu saga, and though it is very powerful, it comes a great cost. The Super Saiyan 3 form, only canonically achieved by Goku và Gotenks, is a x400 multiplier of a Saiyan base power. The form also utilizes 100% of physical stamina, which is what causes the drawback of the form: massive fatigue.
Super Saiyan 3 is a massive nguồn up, but it takes a physical toll on the user. For one thing, the khung has only been achieved by those with "altered" bodies — Goku was dead when he trained lớn Super Saiyan 3 and Gotenks had the combined power of two Saiyans to lớn handle the physical stress — and even they had issues maintaining the size without getting fatigued. From this we can assume that the size may not be achievable by living or non-used Saiyans.
This one is a bit of a wild thẻ so there"s no true place khổng lồ put it in a ranking of all the Super Saiyan forms. That said, we"re going lớn place it above Super Saiyan 3 because it has the potential lớn surpass the form, as well as other forms. The reason being that the strength of this form depends on the situation, the Super Saiyan khung it results from/in and the Saiyan themselves.
Super Saiyan is triggered by intense emotion, usually anger. Because of this, if a Saiyan that can already go Super Saiyan experiences anger, then they can get a massive increase in power. The most recent example of this was when Beerus slapped Bulma, resulting in Vegeta becoming enraged và angrily going Super Saiyan 2. His angry power allowed him khổng lồ go toe to lớn toe with Beerus at 10% power, temporarily surpassing Super Saiyan 3 Goku"s power
8 GOLDEN GREAT APE
Now we start to get into the murky waters that is the canon of the Dragon Ball franchise, specifically Dragon Ball GT. Though it is generally disliked by fans and has since essentially become inapplicable to the canon of Dragon Ball, there were still a few cool things that resulted from the series. One of the coolest was the Golden Great Ape, a nod lớn the legend of the Super Saiyan, which was depicted as an ape in Saiyan lore.

This khung is the result of a Great Ape going Super Saiyan, resulting in strength và power that is meant for pure destruction. However, its nguồn is not clearly defined, the only idea of its strength being from its size and destruction potential. Because of this, its standing in the ranking of all Super Saiyan forms is a bit unclear, so take this rank with a grain of salt.
We can easily rank Super Saiyan 4 above the Golden Great Ape since it can only be achieved by gaining control of the destructive form. That said, since it was introduced in GT, its ranking is still a bit unclear in the actual canon of all the Super Saiyan forms. Regardless, we still know a lot more about the power of the Super Saiyan 4 form, which acts as a x4,000 multiplier.
This is a MASSIVE increase from Super Saiyan 3. However, the x4,000 multiplier is not definitively stated và is mostly speculated by fans. Thus, this form, lượt thích the Golden Great Ape, stands as one of the outliers of this list. The size is a Super Saiyan pushed khổng lồ their very strongest, but its place in the canon is questionable, và it seems khổng lồ have been replaced by forms introduced in Dragon Ball Super.
6 SUPER SAIYAN GOD
In the world of Dragon Ball, there are two types of ki, normal mortal ki, & godly ki. Both can be trained an utilized in similar ways, but godly ki is far more powerful, gifted khổng lồ only the kais and gods of destruction. There is, however, one way that a mortal, specifically a Saiyan, can access this godly power. By performing a special ceremony, five Saiyans can infuse godly ki into a sixth, turning them into a Super Saiyan God.
This size might not look lượt thích much, since it makes Goku appear much younger & leaner, but it is actually far beyond any other size before it. Previously, Goku was unable to take on Beerus in his Super Saiyan 3 form, but in the Super Saiyan God form, he forced the god of destruction to lớn use 70% of his power. Clearly, godly ki is a massive nâng cấp from regular ki.
The Super Saiyan God size ended up unlocking an even more powerful form, Super Saiyan Blue. By going Super Saiyan using the godly ki acquired from the Super Saiyan God form, a Saiyan can go Super Saiyan Blue. Both Vegeta and Goku have achieved this form, which is easily more powerful than the Super Saiyan God form.
Super Saiyan blue acts a lot lượt thích regular Super Saiyan, it is a x50 power nguồn multiplier, but instead of increasing regular power, it instead multiplies godly ki in the Saiyan. Thus, the already powerful Super Saiyan God size is made even more powerful. Toriyama has stated that this size was the most powerful of all Super Saiyan transformations. This might be true to an extent, but there are still a few other forms lớn look at.
4 SUPER SAIYAN ROSE
When a Saiyan obtains godly ki, it turns into the blue aura và hair of Super Saiyan blue. This is because it is being filtered through a mortal body. It is also because Goku & Vegeta obtained godly ki & were not born with it. But if a god were khổng lồ switch bodies with a Saiyan, their natural godly ki would result in a Super Saiyan transformation similar to, but slightly different from Super Saiyan Blue.
This is exactly what happens with Goku Black. After Zamasu wished to switch bodies with Goku, his godly ki was transferred as well, & when he goes Super Saiyan in Goku"s body, the godly ki is filtered through it, creating the Super Saiyan Rose form. This form is much more powerful than Super Saiyan blue as it has a more refined influx of godly ki.
One of the only two female Super Saiyans introduced in the world of Dragon Ball is Kale, a meek và gentle Saiyan who has a surprising amount of power nguồn lying within her. Kale"s Super Saiyan form is similar to lớn Broly"s, her muscle mass is increased, her eyes turn white, her hair turns a green-tinted gold & she is overcome by an uncontrollable rage.
This size is as powerful as it is hard to lớn control, which is probably why it is known as the Berserker Super Saiyan. When Kale goes Super Saiyan, this is the natural state she turns into, possessing power on par with Super Saiyan Blue. Even with the increased muscle mass, Kale is not slowed down by the weight. However, when not properly controlled, the form turns Kale into a killing rage machine.
2 TRUE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN
Despite her natural Super Saiyan state being an uncontrollable rage machine, Kale manages khổng lồ gain control over her Berserker size twice over. First, Kale gains her composure and sanity, pushing back the berserker form. This results in her standard Super Saiyan form, which is still heavily muscled và far more powerful than a standard Super Saiyan. This form is known as Super Saiyan (perfect energy control).
But Kale improves in the middle of battle once again, resulting in a size known as True Legendary Super Saiyan. This is similar to lớn the perfect energy control form, but with the added power nguồn of the Berserker Legendary form, which results in the return of the green-tinted hair. We know this sounds confusing, but the points is that in this form, Kale is a Legendary Super Saiyan with full control of her emotions, composure and power.
A Legendary Super Saiyan is essentially the khung that comes from a mutation in a Saiyan, a fluke of sorts that results in a different evolutionary path of the Saiyan"s transformations. This form & its subsequent upgrades are only seen in Broly, a character canonical only in a few Dragon Ball Z films. The Legendary Super Saiyan is much like the Berserker, displaying all-white eyes và green-tinted hair.
The power of a Legendary Super Saiyan isn"t super clear in the films that Broly has appeared in, but we can gather some facts that place it above other Super Saiyans. We know that Legendary Super Saiyans have healing factors and can tăng cấp the khung to Legendary Super Saiyan 2 & 3. Who"s lớn say if this makes it the strongest Super Saiyan khung of them all, especially since it"s not canon, so it may be another outlier on this list.
