Still today it is interesting to discover some curiosities and anecdotes Dragon Ball Zthe linchpin of Akira Toriyama’s masterpiece, in which Goku unleashed for the first time the Super Saiyan, this transformation that from that moment accompanied our heroes for several adventures.

Originally, however, the Super Saiyan not only had a different name, but also a different system of multiplying the protagonist’s strength. During the Freeze Sagar, at the time of the legendary power-up debut, toryama would have shown that a 50x normal multiplier, the difference between the SSJ and the base form, was actually too high.

In fact, he had originally foreseen that the new stadium would be limited to ten times the strength. However, there arises a problem Son Goku He had already done something like that with the Kaioken and even multiplied his strength x20. If yes, the SSJ would have increased the Kaioken x20 tenfold with a number that would have actually multiplied the base shape x100 or even x200. On the other hand, if the author had referred to Goku’s initial stages from the beginning, the Super Saiyan would never have been enough to even get into trouble freezer.

Is that a misjudgment by Sensei or did Toriyama just decide to change the system later? As usual, let us know what you think about it by leaving a comment in the appropriate box at the bottom of the page.
