�The levels of the Super Saiyan

Super
Saiyan�
This surpasses
the level of a normal Saiyan. Anger and rage triggers a transformation that allows
the body to handle more power and speed. The physical transformation
includes the hair turning golden blond, and eyes turning
green. Goku is the first Saiyan in DBZ to reach this level during his fight with Frieza.
Who can
transform at this level: Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta, Goten, Gotenks,
(Broly from movie 8) | |

Super
Saiyan "stage 2"(Ultra SS in Japanese & Ascended in American)
Not to be
confused with Super Saiyan 2, this is the level "which surpasses the
level of Super Saiyan."� When Goku trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber
during the Cell saga, he discovered that he can increase his power
almost 3 times more than normal. But he realized that while this
increase makes him more powerful, it also makes him slower. This is
a major weakness which means that it is no good in battle. Vegeta is the first Saiyan to reach this level in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Super
Saiyan 2
This level
is superior to that of Super Saiyan in terms of strength and
speed. It is similar in definition to the
Super Saiyan in which rage and anger triggers the transformation.
The difference physically is a little increase in hair and small
electric waves surrounding the body. With this increase in powers,
strength and speed all increase in sync. Gohan is the first to reach this level during his battle
with Cell.

Super
Saiyan 3
Quite different
than the other levels, Super Saiyan 3 can only be achieved through
training. It brings even more power and speed. Physically more
hair and the absence of eyebrows is seen in this transformation. The
biggest weakness at this level is that it uses more energy, so a
Saiyan can only transform to this level for a short period of
time. Goku is the first to reach this level during the time when he trained in Heaven (after the
Cell saga).
Who can
transform at this level: Goku, Gotenks (Goten and Trunks
fused) | |

Super
Saiyan 4
In Dragonball
GT, this is the true level of the Legendary Super Saiyan. Rage,
anger, and sorrow all triggers this transformation where physically
the hair is black and the body is covered with ape like hair. Goku is the first Saiyan ever to reach this level.
Who can
transform at this level: Goku, Vegeta (with a device created by
Bulma) | |

�Which
level is the "Legendary Super Saiyan?" |
| ����
Throughout the story line of Dragonball you will find
inconsistencies concerning this topic. The legends says that only
one person can become the Legendary Super Saiyan. When Goku
first reached Super Saiyan he is the only one who supposedly can do
this. Later in the series however, we see Vegeta and Trunks reaching
this level. To correct this error, the writers inject Broly (from
Movie #8) as the Saiyan who is the "true" Legendary Super Saiyan.
Then later Goku achieves Super Saiyan3 which surpasses that level.
To correct this error again, Dragonball GT introduces� another
level which is Super Saiyan4. Goku is the first to do this. Then
Vegeta achieved this level through a device created by Bulma. Which
level is the Legendary Super Saiyan? The fact is that the writers
got caught up in so much definitions, they forget to take in account
things that were said in the past. Whatever your argument may be,
the truth is that the writers screwed this idea up!
